Sparrow looked out to sea. They were headed back to Port Royal, to drop off Rachel, and then Tim and Maria at their new house. The ship was going to seem smaller. Sapphire had made that promise to Rachel, and he knew she intended on keeping it. Sapphire was still in that same bed in the same position, Elizabeth and Will just sat there watching her, for three days now. He didn't have to heart to do that. What if she just died before his eyes, he couldn't do anything to stop it. Except aimed for James's head, not back. He sent the first shot at James, he didn't want to miss and hit Sapphire. Aiming for the back was his only option. He cursed silently at himself. He couldn't go in that room, if she died it would be his fault.

"Thought you be down by Sapphire?" He turned and saw Jackie.

"No," He shook his head, "too bloody down there for me."

"When I went in there she had a bit more color." Sparrow looked at her, "I said a bit, but she's still loosin' blood, wounds not healin'." He remained silent, "and I can't help but wonder who shot that first shot in the cave."

"I wonder." His eyes moved back to the sea,

"Listen, Sparrow, if she dies its not your fault," Jackie shrugged, "its not anyone's, if she dies, she dies happy."

"Happy?' He looked at her, "How can you say that?"

"She found her family, friends, and love." Jackie left. Sparrow just sighed, he didn't care what anyone said, it was his fault.

Rachel sighed she couldn't go back. Not ever! Especially not now! Sapphire had promised that they would talk with her parents to see what they would say, but now Sapphire was incapable of doing that. Plus her brother was dead, and he turned pirate. He probably killed Sapphire. Who was she kidding? She had to go back

"Bloody moron." She whispered, and threw her book across the room.

"Who you talkin' 'bout?" Tim walked in,

"Sorry, Mr. Turner, I didn't know you were there." She looked at him, and he shut the door.

"Who were you talkin' 'bout?" He asked again,

"My brother." She sighed, "He just never got family."

"Well that's the trouble with men sometimes they get it and sometimes they don't." He nodded, "But he's dead now, so what are your parents goin' to say."

"Don't know." She shrugged, "Maybe mother will cry and father will become even more numb to me, but they wont send me to boarding school. Then mother will become pregnant and have a boy."

"That's very descriptive," Tim smiled, "So you plan on goin' back?"

"I have to." She looked at him, "Its my duty, besides I don't think I like being a pirate much."

"You don't?" He looked questionable at her,

"No," She shook her head, "too exciting to me, I like to be a little more calmer."

Elizabeth looked at her daughter's pale face. Her eyes were tried from the lack of sleep, and her appearance worsened everyday. She had been in the same room with her for three days. Will just stood in the corner and would put a hand on her from time to time, but said nothing. He couldn't, he didn't know what to say. She never looked at him though her eyes just waited for another sign that their daughter was still alive. They both didn't blame Sparrow for not coming down here. She stroked her cheek softly.

"Please just wake up." Tears started to roll down her cheeks again, "Please, Sapphire just wake up!"

"Elizabeth," Will put a hand on her shoulder, "that wont work."

"They what will?" She turned to him for the first time in three days, "She hasn't even opened her eyes, she's as white as a ghost, she hasn't moved to any position, and can't eat more than a broth of soup!" Tears streamed down her cheek, "What will work, Will? What will?" He stood there, and hugged her. Elizabeth cried into his chest. They released, and Will wiped the tears in her eyes, as a tear rolled down his cheek. He knew if she saw him cry that she would just cry until Sapphire either woke up, and if she died, part of Elizabeth would die with her.

"Let me watch Sapphire," He smiled, "You need your rest."

"What if she wakes?" She looked at him, tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Then I'll come and get you," He kissed her, "Now go to sleep."
