(A/N) Last one!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"Thank you." Elizabeth said as Robert pulled out her chair for her.

"Elizabeth, I want to be apart of something." Robert said as he sat down.

"What is that?" Elizabeth asked.

"A family, my mother died when I was young…I want a place to belong to, a place where I am wanted." His eyes glazed over.

"Robert, do you know what just happened?" Elizabeth asked him.

"What are you talking about?"

"You killed a Governor, and a Commodore of the Royal fleet, the British are going to see you hang…"

"So what does that mean? I can't have anyone care." He took a swig of the wine that was on the table.

"No, you went to great lengths to find me…perhaps, too great." She said quietly, not wanting to provoke any type of anger.

"I did it for you…"

"I know, Robert, what I am ultimately trying to say is that I want you to be my brother because you are my brother, and I care, we are bonded, I want you in my life, if you accept mine." Robert was taken aback by her words.

"Are you sure?"

"Very. I do not give my word lightly. With that said, you must send word to my husband that I am fine, and where to find me."

"Right away." Robert then got up and spoke quietly to one member of his crew.

"I have some news Elizabeth, apparently he is already here…" His tone had changed.

"And?"

"I can't have you leave…just yet…"

"Yes you can, you know where to find me."

"No, Elizabeth, you must stay." He had been drinking his speech was slurred.

"Robert, please, my children need me."

"Not if their dead." He growled.

Elizabeth got up from her chair, "You don't mean that." She said as she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Like bloody hell I do!" He slapped her hand away. Elizabeth backed up bewildered. He got up and looked at her, "I'm sorry I didn't mean that."

"You know what? You claim to want this family, this sense of belonging…but do you know what I think you want? You want the euphoric type, one that does not exist! You want me to be you sister, accept your ways…well then I have a suggestion…grow up!" Elizabeth stood her ground, she had enough of his ways.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry is not enough. You need to learn that there are people in you life now, that they are their willing to accept you, love you, I am one of them." Elizabeth said as she stepped closer to him. Elizabeth then hugged him, Robert did not know how to react, he held his arms on the outside not sure whether to hug back. "It's ok." Elizabeth whispered. Robert then hugged her back, to him it felt good, knowing that their was one person out there that loved him no matter what.

"We're close." Adam whispered.

"I can see the white stone now." Will said as he, Jack, and Adam and a few members of all three crews snuck towards the front entrance.

"I say we go in from that side door there, no one is at it…" Jack paused when they all saw Elizabeth through the window.

"Let's go." Will said as they made their way.

Elizabeth looked at Robert in a new light, he was a man that was searching his entire life for acceptance, something he certainly didn't get from their father, and something he was too young to receive from his mother. Elizabeth realized she was it, the only one on this earth that held any truth, any sanctuary, any type of love for him, that was why he was reluctant on letting her go, he felt he would lose her all over again. Elizabeth pitied him, because she was so lucky, her father although a pig in his own right, did care about her, she didn't know whether or not he loved her, or he felt obligated to care for her. Elizabeth had Will, Will loved her from the first moment he saw her, and she knew it, and she returned the love, although it took a while for them to admit it to each other. Robert had none of this, no one like Jack, no one like Adam, he had nothing.

"Robert, I cannot stay with you…but you are welcome to sail with me. So we can spend more time together, and you can get to know William and Evelyn." Elizabeth said as she pulled away from their embrace.

"I'd like that. Thank you….I have something for you." Robert then went into a drawer and pulled out a box. Elizabeth opened the box and gasped. She lifted the necklace, on the end of it was her mother's engagement ring.

"It meant more to you than to me, I could tell by the look in your eyes." He said as she clasped it on her.

"Thank you." Elizabeth jumped up and hugged him. Then the door burst open.

(A/N) Should I just leave you guys hanging...NO! I couldn't do that, give me snaps in my reviews!
