"Jack why am I here? I really should be with Elizabeth Emily is a bit unwell" Will sat at the table in Jack's cabin. The sun crept slowly through the window it was just before dawn.

"Just wait it won't be long now" Jack looked out of the window onto the gangway. His eyes focused on it waiting patiently for his guest to arrive, then he saw him.

The door of the cabin knocked slightly, Jack went outside the door and another man entered.

" Hello Will" The man stood behind the closed, a glint in his eye he had just seen his son for the first time in over ten years. He was surprisingly calm and collected

" How are you? Where's Jack?" Will looked nervously at the man

"Will, my name is William Turner… your father. Hello son" Bootstrap sat in the seat across from Will. He was surprised at how much he looked like him.

Will turned chalk white, he could feel the inside of his mouth becoming dry. He didn't know what to say, his father had just walked into his life what could he say.

"I hear you are married, and have a child" Bootstrap kept his voice soothing and calm he could see the panic in Will's eyes.

After a few minutes pause Will finally spoke to his father, " Yes, I married Governor Swann's daughter Elizabeth. We have a daughter Emily, she's only a week old"

" Congratulations you are a very lucky man Will. Of course you'll want to know why I didn't get in contact…" but Will stopped him

" No, No I don't you have your reasons I'm just glad you're here now. Before I didn't understand but since Emily was born, I think I get it now"

Bootstrap stood from his chair to be greeted with a heart-warming hug from his son.

" You should meet Elizabeth and Emily. Elizabeth would love to meet you" Will guided his father through the corridors of the Pearl until they came to the cabin in which he shared with Elizabeth

"Elizabeth, there's someone I'd like you to meet" Will ushered his father into the cabin next to him

" Elizabeth… this is my father Bill Turner"

Elizabeth hugged him immediately, " It's so good to meet you, would you like to see Emily?" before he had a chance to answer she was already at the cradle gently lifting Emily out. She placed Emily carefully in Bootstrap's arms

" She is absolutely beautiful. Both of you must be very proud of her. Your mother would be honoured that you would bestow her name upon your child"

Elizabeth raised her head and looked at Will. He hadn't told her that his mother's name was Emily. Bootstrap passed the sleeping child back to her mother

" If you'll excuse me I would like to talk to Will 'bout something. Can we talk on deck?"

Will nodded his head and the pair made their way to the deck.

" Will I hope you know that no amount of time will ever change my love for you, but I have a life here. I wish to stay in contact with you and your family but I don't want to leave here. I've been rooted on land for too long now. Please forgive me"

" I understand. Just promise to keep in touch"

" I swear on pain of death Will" Bootstrap hugged Will. The pair said goodbye and Bootstrap made his way to the helm to see Jack.

" So that's it is it?"

" No we'll keep in touch I explained my situation, he understands"

"Well what will you do from here old friend?" Jack looked at Bootstrap for the first time since their meeting yesterday

" Live my life as I have done… and what you asked me to do when they marooned you. She's close Jack. Last I heard she was in Porta La Playa, but that was two days ago if you want to find her you'd have to be quick"

"Well I kept to my end of the bargain, I promised one day I would bring you Will. And It appears that you have kept to yours" Jack held out his rugged hand and instead was embraced by his friend

" Goodbye Jack"

Bootstrap made his way off of the Pearl and Jack made his way down to his cabin. He had a course to plan.
