CONCLUSIONS

Exactly one week later, Arielle, Jack, and the crew were gathered in a small chapel on the outskirts of Tortuga. An old priest hobbled up to the altar to begin the ceremony.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace." He said slowly.

"STOP!" A voice said, as the man yelling it burst through the door.

"Dad?"

"Will?"

They both said in unison. Will rushed up to the altar with Elizabeth closely at his side.

"Commodore Norrington? What are you doing here?" Arielle asked,"Mom, dad, I am getting married to Jack, I love him and I always want to be with him. Nothing you can do or say will stop me now. Besides I'm already pregnant with his child!"

"This is no wedding, nor will it ever be! That is why you must come with us… so we can have a real one." Elizabeth said.

"Oh really… Oh I love you!" Arielle rushed to her mother's arms.

It was sunny outside as the merry party gathered for the Wedding of Jack Sparrow and Arielle Bronwen Turner. She was clad in her dress and shoes, he had donned one of his nicer bandannas but was basically wearing the same thing he always wore. Will and Elizabeth and the Commodore sat in the front row as the ceremony began.

"Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. It is intended for their mutual joy – and for the help and comfort given on another in prosperity and adversity. But more importantly – it is a means through which a stable and loving environment may be attained."

"Do you Jack Sparrow take Arielle Bronwen Turner to be your wife – to live together after God's ordinance – in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?"

"I will." Jack replied, quickly, so he would not get all choked up.

Arielle:"I will."

"You may kiss the Bride"

Arielle grabbed Jack and pulled his mouth to cover hers. It was soft and sweet and received just the right amount of applause from the audience.

"Jack, "the commodore said, "Congratulations. Oh and Arielle, we have a little present for you and your new husband. Look out to sea…That ship… It's yours"

Jack carried Arielle through the boat and to the captain's quarters. He closed the door behind him.

"PUSH! And breathe… and one more now PUSH!" the midwife yelled at the purple faced Arielle, who was now seventeen.

"JACK!" she screamed for him.

He came running into the room, just in time to see the midwife handing their newborn baby son to Arielle.

"OH… he's beautiful…"

"What is his name?" the midwife asked.

Jackson Louie Sparrow
