Disclaimer: I own none of the characters, places or ships that featured or mentioned in the original Pirates of the Caribbean but if you don't recognize something I probably created it.

A/n: Ok, the first chapter was quite popular so I started this straight away. Thanks please read and review.

Chapter 2

Bad dreams

Twenty-five year old William Turner woke with a jump. He sat up. He had been having the same dream on and off for over a week. It was more like a nightmare. It had frightened him and his breathing was rapid. A small groan from next to him told him he had woken his wife, Elizabeth. She was the same age with light brown hair. Her eyes were hazel and full of love for Will.

"Will? What is wrong?" she asked. Will looked at her.

"Nothing," he said, "It was just a nightmare." He lay down and Elizabeth copied him, resting her head on his chest.

"Was it about your father?" Will sighed, he couldn't lie to her.

"Yes," he replied.

Elizabeth kissed him on the forehead.

"I'm sure they'll pass," she said. A cry came from the next room.

"Mama! Father!"

Elizabeth groaned with exhaustion.

"Not again," she said.

"I'll go see her," said Will. He kissed her and left the room. Elizabeth was on her own. She smiled and then lay in the middle of the bed, savoring the freedom of movement.

Four-year-old Emma was sat up in her bed, looking out of the window. She had light brown hair and dark brown eyes. She turned to face her father as he entered her room.

"What's wrong Emma?" asked Will.

"I'm scared, father," said Emma. Will walked over to the bed and sat down next to his daughter. She climbed into his lap.

"Did you have another nightmare?" he asked. Emma nodded.

"What happened?"

"A man, I think he was a pirate, was sent to see his captain. The man was called Bootstrap and the captain was called Barbossa," Emma started. Will's mouth went dry at the mention of the name. Barbossa had been dead for nearly six years.

"And Barbossa said that Bootstrap had been saying bad things and then he strapped a cannon to Bootstrap's bootstraps and sent him down into the ocean and then I woke up," Emma finished. It was exactly the same as Will's nightmare.

"Do you want a story?" asked Will, changing the subject. Emma smiled; she loved to hear stories about pirates.

"Captain Jack! Captain Jack!" she cried. Will laughed at her excitement.

"Captain Jack it is then," said Will. He picked a book up off the bedside table. It was all about pirates and had been Elizabeth's. Emma turned so she could see the book. Will started to read.

"Of all the pirates of our time, not one is as famous as Captain Jack Sparrow." Will continued to read to Emma until she fell asleep. He gently lay her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He left the room and crept back into his. He slid back into bed next to his wife.

"What was wrong?" asked Elizabeth, sleepily.

"Another nightmare," said Will.

"You two and your nightmares," said Elizabeth, "It's ridiculous."

"Do you know what else is ridiculous," said Will, putting one arm around Elizabeth's waist.

"What?" whispered Elizabeth as she felt Will's breathe on her cheek.

"How much I love you," said Will before gently biting her ear. Elizabeth laughed as Will turned her onto her back and kissed her. As he kissed her, his hand strayed to the bottom of her nightdress and pulled it up. Elizabeth grabbed his wrist.

"What are you doing?" she said. Will gave her a look of confusion.

"Alright," she said, "But we have to be quiet so we don't wake my father or Emma." Will continued to pull her nightdress up while kissing her.

(A/n: Sorry, but I'm not good at writing love scenes. If anyone has any tips they would be gratefully received.)

The next morning, Elizabeth awoke to find her nightdress up around her waist. She smiled as she remembered what had happened. She hoped no one had been walking around and heard them. She saw Will sleeping peacefully next to her.

"Will?" she said, gently poking him, "Will, wake up!" He slowly opened his eyes.

"What?" he said, "Not again, Elizabeth."

"Will, wake up," she said, "We've got to go to the fort today. Remember? It's James' promotion."

"Norrington?" asked Will, "What's he now?"

"Admiral," said Elizabeth, "Now wake up because I hear a little Turner coming." She pulled her nightdress down as Emma came running in and jumped onto the bed.

"Morning father," she said.

"Good morning, Emma," said Will.

"Come on, Father," said Emma, "You have to get up. It's Uncle James' promo... promo..."

"Promotion," said Elizabeth as she got out of bed.

"I like Uncle James," said Emma, "He always gives me presents." Will smirked.

"I like Uncle James too," he said, "After all he never did catch Jack." Emma got off her father and climbed into her mothers arms. Will pulled the bed covers over his head as there was a knock at the door. Governor Swann entered fully dressed.

"Good morning," he said and noticed the bump on the bed.

"Good morning Will," he said.

"Good morning Governor," came Will's muffled reply.

"Well," said the governor, "I have gift for Emma." A maid, Olivia, entered, carrying a box. Swann removed the lid and pulled a red dress out, the perfect size for Emma.

"Oh, Father," said Elizabeth, "It's beautiful. She can wear it at the promotion ceremony today."

"That is what I had hoped," said Swann, "It's made of the finest Spanish material."

Swann, Elizabeth, Will and Emma left the house a few hours later, wearing their best clothes and got into the carriage. Will and Elizabeth sat on one side, Swann and Emma on the other.

"I hope there will be one difference between this promotion and the last one for Commodore Norrington," said Swann.

"What is that, father?" asked Elizabeth.

"Hopefully, there will be no pirates this time," said Swann

"Father, if pirates hadn't attacked, I probably never would have married Will," said Elizabeth. Swann remained silent and looked out at the docks. Emma got out of her seat to get a better look at the ships.

"What on earth is she doing?" asked Swann

"She's looking at the ships," said Will. Emma sighed and returned to her seat.

"I can't see one with black sails," she said.

"I should hope not," said Swann. The carriage went over a pothole and everyone jumped.

A/n: Nothing particularly exciting about this I know but it tells you a bit about the new characters. More new characters in the next chapter including a certain Sparrow...
