Warning this has some mature references in it, but there not to bad.
After Will and Elizabeth left Vannesa stayed behind to clean up and made Jack and Michael help, so Clarésse had some time alone. She was use to be alone. But something felt different. This time something came over her, a feeling she hadn't felt in years. Then she remembered something.
Flashback. (Clarésse is 8 at the time. It was nighttime on the Black pearl. Bill and Clarésse are alone.)
"Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"Why isn't mom or my brother here?"
"Clarésse, things could be very bad if they were here. But one day something's going to happen and they are going to be here again."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"When?"
"I don't know. It could be 10 days it could be 10 years. But I promise it will happen. But until that happens you'll have me and Jack."
"But what if something happens?"
"Nothing is going to happen."
"But what if something does."
"Listen to me everybody has someone, and if something happens to them they're still with you if you believe that they live."
"But where would they live?"
"They live in the hearts of who believe."
End of flashback.
It was just a few days later that everything happened.
She held that memory close to her.
If she could have only one memory of her dad, that would be it.
For a while she had no one, then Annamaria came. Then Vannesa and Michael. Then Will, Elizabeth, and Jack came.
Her someone was Will now. But if things changed she would have no one. She didn't want that again.
Then she realized something.
"I'm jealous of Elizabeth. I can't be. What am I thinking? She makes Will happy. I should be glad." She thought.
She had had a long day and was tired, then fell asleep.
When everyone else went home they did the same thing.
But they all knew that Will and Elizabeth would be doing none of that.
That thought gave everyone an awkward feeling.
Clarésse's wedding gift was the planning.
Jack and Vannesa were not telling what theirs were it was a surprise.
And Michael's was going to be given to them when they needed it.
