A pirates story inspired by PS I love you. I own nothing to do with either of these films.
Willabeth story obviously
BOLD dreams
Italics memories and or thoughts

Night time in Port Royal was always beautiful, there was a soft, still tranquility about it, the infinite stars shone so brightly they were like the purest diamond and the dark sky resembled velvet. The cloudless sky provided a welcome coolness to the hot days, indeed, some people preferred night time to any other time.
Elizabeth lay in her bed, the thick, luxurious sheets keeping her warm over her long but thin nightgown. The lights were dimmed and a soft breeze came through the open window that ;ed onto a small balcony. Estrella came in and smiled at Elizabeth, "how has your, day been miss?" she asked as she walked over to the window to draw the curtains.
Elizabeth smiled her young face lighting up as she thought about it, she had been at the shop with Will again, another sword fighting lesson, which always began and ended the same way, with a kiss. "It's been-" she saw interrupted by Estrella's laugh.
"What?" she asked
"You have a gentleman caller"
Elizabeth hurried onto her balcony looking over she saw Will.
"But soft! Out yonder window breaks!
It is east and Elizabeth is the sun!"
Elizabeth laughed "Will what are you doing?"
"She speaks
Oh speak again bright angel for thou art
as glorious to this night being o'er my head
As a winged messenger from heaven"
Elizabeth leaned over her balcony and watched Will fascinated
"Oh William! William, where for art thou William" she said, laughter apparent in her voice
She heard a rustling of the ivy next to her balcony and she looked down to see Will climbing up
"Will what are you doing?"
"I take thee at thy word!
I come by love! And henceforth
I shall not be a blacksmith
I will be your Pirate"
As he finished saying this, he reached the balcony. And he softly touched Elisabeth's face she leaned in to kiss him but he stepped back
"Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it sight. For I ne'er seen
True beauty till tonight"
He kissed, there on the balcony; the stars reflected in their eyes and the distant roar of the ocean in the background, they stood there for a while until Estrella knocked on the door leading to where they were
"Elizabeth, you father will be coming back soon"
Will kissed her quickly before backing away "See me tomorrow morn
and I will prove my love to thee"
Elizabeth giggled and kissed him again. Estrella banged on the window again.
Will hurried down the ivy and ran across the lawn he paused to look back at Elizabeth.
"A thousand times goodnight" she whispered to Will before he disappeared into darkness.
"Wake up, Lizzy" Jack said sounding annoyed. "Are you going to help me?"
In his arms were bundles of clothes and constantly dropped them.
"Jack just dump them somewhere. NOT IN THE COT!" she said "Liam has to sleep there"
It was a year since Will became captain of the Flying Dutchman, and Elizabeth was back on land, this time in a house, which, Jack said belonged to an old friend who owed him a favour. When Elizabeth asked him about it he shrugged and muttered that it was a long story. Jack seemingly had a lot of these.
The house was already well equipped, it had a bed, and storage space, and though it was definitely not as big as the mansion, it was a nice sized 2 story house, in the little known ex-pirate island of Merirosvo.
The other pirates walked into the house and glanced around. Elizabeth did not have many possessions, and she did not need a house of this size, but Jack assured her that she did.
Jack hugged her suddenly assuring her that they would visit and it seemed so sudden but she was alone again. What felt weird was seeing Mulroy and Murtogg leave her, she had known them for so long.
She noticed Liam was asleep his head on her shoulder and she put him in the cot, she heard a crackle as she did so and Elizabeth immediately lifted him up, she heard the crackle again, it seemed to come from Liam.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked, removing the top blanket and revealing the source, inside was a slightly crumpled letter. She placed Liam into his cot then red the letter
To my wonderful wife and son
The past year has been hard for us all, but you have been brave, my dear. I just wish i was with you to experience it. I hope you settle into your new life as a mother well, though I know you will, our son is the luckiest boy alive to have you as his mother, if he grows up anything like you, I shall be so proud.
I hope you like the house, and that you are happy in it. I hope you get everything that you wish for in life, and that our son will grow up to know our stories and what love really is.
When we were younger, we used to dream about heroes, and wish they existed. I just want you to tell him that they do. You just have to open your eyes. Elizabeth, I have said this before, but you have saved me from a life that would have had no worth. A life with out you. I will never forget our time spent together, every moment is worth remembering, savoring.
Tell my son that I love him, and that i always think about him.
Will
P.S i love you
Elizabeth wiped tears away before walking over to a large chest in the corner, she opened it, inside was a smaller chest, where the beating of Wills heart was. She placed the letter, inside the first chest and gently touched the smaller one, and stayed there for a while listening to it, feeling the beat.
"You gave me your heart, Will" she laughed slightly, it still tickled her slightly at the irony. "I miss you"
She wondered if she could still hear Wills voice in the wind, or if he's still be in her dreams. She wanted him to be.
She walked into the kitchen, after searching through the cupboards, she found a book, opening it she discovered that all the pages were plank, except for one.
For our story
Elizabeth smiled. She put this in the chest with her letter and instead picked up a book and read it for a while, she only stopped when Liam woke up for a feed.
After she fed him she cradled her son and retrieved her latest letter.
"Daddy has written to us" she said.
Liam giggled and Elizabeth carried on "He loves you and he misses you a lot. He thinks of you everyday." Elizabeth paused "I'll tell you why he cant come when your older."
Liam smiled again. His baby blue eyes had turned a dark brown and his small about of hair seemed to be the same colour as his fathers.
"As soon as your ready to know, I'll be ready to tell"
She kissed her son before standing up and walking out the door to the garden with him. Maybe, one day Liam will find someone, when he's older. Elizabeth smiled at this
Hopefully his story won't be as complicated as ours
