BOLD dreams
Italics memories and or thoughts

Jack wondered around once again on the Pearl, the sun was setting and he saw the familiar figure standing by the ships railings watching, waiting for the green flash, the beauty of it was equal to the beauty of the figure and her son, equal to the beauty of their story. The flash lit up her beautiful, delicate features, and the tears shone like pearls in that light.
The baby was making no noise just the occasional snore in his blissful sleep, his almost perfect features peaceful in his sleep. The figure sat down now watching her son a loving and yet painful expression on her face.
Jack wondered up to her and sat by her. "Elizabeth" he said softly
She looked at him an enquiring look on her face and he could find nothing to say.
He got up and went to leave embarrassed, it was rare that captain jack Sparrow was left speechless
"Jack?" Elizabeth asked, Jack turned around and their eyes met, Elizabeth's eyes teary "Have you ever loved someone so much, that life," Elizabeth took another breath and carried on "That life seems different, weird without them. Like a weird dream"
Jack joined her and sat next to her, here was a secret he had kept for so long, he could not tell it, it betrayed his greatest beliefs as a hard core pirate "Yes, I loved Ana-maria. I still do. She's a pirate free spirited. But she did not want me.But I never had what you and Will have" he saw the tears in Elizabeth's eyes increase and fall on to Liam's blanket "To lose a great love is better than never having it at all"
Elizabeth looked at him sympathetically, she glanced down at her son and smiled "Jack, do you want to hold him?" she asked not waiting for an answer and passing Liam to him. Jack bit his lip and looked at the sleeping baby in his arms. "I need to go into the crows nest."
Jack smiled "Why?"
"i just feel a need. I'll be careful"
She walked across the deck, her feet barely making any noise against the wood. She reached the rope ladder and looked up at the daunting height of it, taking a deep breath she reached up and started climbing not stopping untill she reached the top. She looked out at the view, she had not been up there for almost a year and she did not realise how much she missed it.
She closed her eyes as she felt the evening breeze against her face, she felt her hands slip and her eyes flew open and she steadied herself just in time. She paused, safely secured to the mast was a letter. She reached out and tugged it ripping the letter slightly she smiled as she recognized the writing, Will had left her another letter.
Dearest Elizabeth
Words cannot describe how much I miss you, ever since we met the hours we did not spend together were hours of my life wasted. We will have lost ten years, but we will have gained so much more. The ten years will be hard. but knowing that you will be there makes it seem worthwhile, anything is worthwhile for you even death itself. I have said many times I would die for you, and its true. i would go through anything so long as you are happy, so long as i can see that smile
I am so proud of you, you have been so strong and wise, you've been able to change me, for the better, it was you who made me strong and you who made me live.
Remember when we used to play together I used to watch you in awe, you were so great at making up stories, they were so beautiful and exciting, just like you are. I used to dream that we'd have those stories come real for us, our own story is so much more perfect and beautiful than i could have imagined.
Look after yourself and our son, and tell him how much i love him.
From Will
PS. I love you.
Elizabeth continued to read the letter over and over again, the rip was so insignificant that it did not interfere with any of the words, she remained up in the crow's nest for a few minutes tracing Wills signature with her finger.
Every time she read it her stomach still did backflips, and she coupld hear Wills voice saying it to as if he was right next to her lovingly whispering the words into her ear.
Elizabeth looked out onto the distance and saw the faintest trace of land, she was going to leave the ship soon, she and Jack had both agreed that it was the best place for her and Liam.
Her heart gave a jolt and she suddenly really wanted to hold her son, rushing down the rope ladder she barely paused for breath and Jack looked at her his moustache twitching in a smile.
"Missed me?" he asked looking up from Liam, who now awake.
"Can I hold him?" she asked.
jack handed Liam over to her but remained sitting
"Barbossa stole the Pearl again, you know."
Elizabeth looked up interested "ow did you get it, her, back?"
"The charts, i had the charts. We did a trade when they finally found me, i got the pearl, hector got the charts."
Elizabeth nodded "Sounds...fun" she said "But very un-pirate like" she added smiling and got up. "I'm putting Liam to bed, i don;t want him to get ill"
Walking down below decks she placed her son in the specially made cot. "You need your sleep" she said and looked into Liam's big brown eyes and wondered whether he would be as stubborn as she and Will were
She smiled "Once upon a time there was a young boy named Will..."
