Well, ladies and gents (more likely just ladies), the time as arrived. I can't believe this is the last chapter. I had a terrible time ending this story, I just fell in love with it. And I also fell in love with everyone who took the effort to review! I'll let you in on a little secret- I've had this story finished for a year or so, but I was too shy to post it cause I didn't know if anyone would like it! But, without further ado, I bring you- THE LAST CHAPTER.
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: BRING ME THAT HORIZON
"Well, Jack, I have sent word back to your crew that it is now safe for them to return and retrieve their captain," Will said, clapping his friend on the shoulder as the four made their way back to the Will and Elizabeth's house. Throughout the streets, Jack and Sunni received a variety of stares: ones of blatant curiosity all the way to outright contempt. The couple ignored these and continued on their way.
"You will stay for a while longer, won't you?" Elizabeth asked, a hand on Will's arm.
Jack looked down to Sunni. "I think," Sunni answered for the both of them, "I think that Jack and I have had enough of Port Royal for a while."
Elizabeth smiled sadly, but nodded, understanding. "Where will you go?"
"Well," Jack smiled. "I was rather hoping to return to Nefari. You remember that isle, luv?"
Sunni thought for a moment. "Wasn't that th' island we stopped at after my birthday? It was where I got my hair braided with Perch's rubies."
"Aye, that's th' one. I wanted ta see if th' house was built yet."
Sunni froze in her step. Jack stopped as well and turned to face her with a large grin on his face. "House?" Sunni whispered.
"Well, I figured Tortuga ain't no place to raise a child, an' we'll need a house ta stay at when the weather gets rough and during vacation an' all," Jack shrugged.
"We have a house?" Sunni squeaked.
"Well, we should by now," Jack said. "Right on th' beach, on the secluded side of the island. Gibbs was ta come back fer ye after I was hu-"
Sunni pursed her lips together. "Are you serious? Jack! I love you!" she flung herself into his arms. Jack picked her up and swung her around, holding her tight. By now, all of the pent up emotions came flowing out, and Sunni began sobbing uncontrollably into his shoulder.
Jack held her tightly and even felt moisture in his own eyes. "It's okay now, luv. Shh, baby, shh. . ."
Elizabeth leaned into Will as they watched the couple embrace. Elizabeth wiped a tear of her own.
At the house, Sunni eagerly swept her daughter into her arms, not having seen her throughout the entire ordeal. Then, Elizabeth and Will let her and Jack be. Occasionally, Liz walked by to see them sprawled on the couch, Jack leaning back with his feet kicked up, Sunni reclining against his chest with Maddy resting in her arms.
Suddenly, Sunni felt Jack start beneath her. "What is it, darling?"
A small smile played on Jack's lips. "Look to the bay, luv. Th' Pearl is just arriving."
Sunni gazed through the window to see the black speck slowly becoming larger and larger as it approached Port Royal.
Sunni smiled, and grasped Jack's hand with her free one. "Bring me that horizon."
THE END
Ok, the ending way very hard to write, as I said before, but if anyone felt unsatisfied at all, I have only one thing to say- Sequel anyone?
