A few hours later, Elizabeth started coming back to consciousness. She turned her head to the side, and saw a blanket hanging up, covering up the hole in the back of the cabin she shared with Jack, aboard the Pearl. She turned her head to the other side, and opened her eyes. Will was sitting at her bedside. She jumped, pulling herself up against the wall. Will put his hands up, shaking his head.

"Elizabeth, it's okay! It's okay, it's me! You stopped it... I'm back," He said, smiling at her. Her breathing began to slow down.

"Where's Jack?" She asked immediately.

"We're in port at Singapore... he's getting some supplies to finish cleaning up your wound... which I am very sorry for, by the way," He said, bowing his head. Elizabeth pulled herself forward, straining her eyes to look at him.

"... Will?" She asked.

"Yes, Elizabeth... it's me, I'm okay," He said, smiling sadly. She pulled herself forward and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back, a little surprised, and was careful not to hurt her shoulder. She pulled away and kept her hands on his arms, smiling into his eyes and holding back tears.

"I'm so glad you're back, Will," She said, reaching up and cupping his face in her hand. Jack came in and, seeing that Elizabeth was awake, dropped the bottle of water and the box of bandages he was holding in his arms. He rushed over, practically knocking Will out of the way, and pressed Elizabeth to his chest. She wrapped her arms around his neck, tangling her hands up in his hair. Will quietly left the room, leaving the two alone.

Jack and Elizabeth pulled away from each other after what seemed like forever. Jack kept his arms wrapped around her, and she slid her hands onto his cheeks. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment, a small smile creeping onto Jack's face.

"It's nice to see your eyes again, love," Jack said, and then claimed her mouth with his own, passionately kissing her. When they broke apart, he sat down on the bed, and they both felt the Pearl pull away from port. He ran his fingers up and down her arm as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"How are you feeling, my darling?" He asked, kissing the top of her head. "You look lovely," He said, looking her over.

"Just a little tired..." She said, leaning into him further. "And you don't lie very well," She said, smiling.

"I try, love, I try. You're tired? With good reason, after saving us all," He said, pulling her even closer. She was happy to be in his arms again. It was the one place she was happiest. He cleared his throat. "And nearly killing me, may I add," Jack said, a tinge of jealously in his voice.

"What do you mean by that?" Elizabeth asked.

"Your words to Will down in the brig were a bit too convincing for my taste," Jack said, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, Jack..." She trailed off, pulling herself away slightly so she could look up into his face. "You know I only have eyes for you," She said, her lips forming into a smile. He gave her a toothy grin, leaning down and pressing his lips to hers. After the kiss he hugged her to him again.

"Mr. Sparrow..." She mumbled.

"Yes, Mrs. Sparrow?" He asked.

"I love you with my entire being," She said, looking up at him once again. He smiled, thinking how wonderful it was to hear those words coming from her.

"And I you, darling," He said, kissing her hair. Jack pulled up the bottle of water and dipped a piece of cloth in, and then undid the bandage around Elizabeth's shoulder. He began cleaning out her wound and she stared up at him, smiling at how perfect he was for her. Her eyes wandered over to the window facing the deck and she watched the Pearl sail into the sunset.

FIN.
