The sun was setting on another day on Port Royal, and the normally clear blue sky had been turned a magnificent golden orange colour. Elizabeth stood on the beach waiting for Will, he had seemed so eager for this.
Elizabeth had been curious about this ever since Will had asked, this had increased when he father had encouraged her to go, a proud, but small smile on his face. It seemed he knew something she did not, which, to Elizabeth, seemed to be a first.
The sun warmed her beautifully delicate features, and she closed her eyes as the gently breeze softly whipped her hair out of her face.
She felt a hand enclose hers and she felt her heart soar as she realised who it was. Opening her eyes she smiled at the perfect face opposite.
"Will" she breathed putting her arms around his neck and pressing her forward to his. They remained like this for a while before Will stepped back.
He gently took her hand "Follow me" he whispered before leading her across the beach towards a small cave,
"Will, where are we going?"
Will smiled and continued to lead her through the cave until she could see a glimmer of light, as they walked it got bigger; it seemed to be another exit to the cave. The left through here and Elizabeth's mouth fell open as she saw the beach that lay in front of her; it possessed the rare untouched beauty rarely found on occupied lands, the pure white sand contrasted with the golden skies and water that perfectly reflected the skies colours.
"Its beautiful" Elizabeth gasped walking around it. The gentle breeze cooling down the warm night.
"I wanted it to be perfect" Will said softly taking her hand before gently kissing her. "Elizabeth, I have loved you, every day since i met you, it has never changed; and it never will. Nothing can stop me loving you. I just hope you feel the same; you are just so beautiful, and perfect that I do not know what life would be like without you, a day without is torture for me. I just want to spend the rest of my life, our lives, loving with, just being with you. A day without you is a day wasted, when I'm not with you, I feel incomplete. The day you saved me from the water was the day I finally realized what love was, what love felt like."
Wills eyes seemed watery, but the love he had for Elizabeth was apparent in both his words and his face, this was reflected in Elizabeth's face; a loving smile on her face as Will spoke.
"Elizabeth, I have to ask you something. And whatever you say, I'll just be so grateful to have had this past year with you, to have known you"
Elizabeth smiled, "Anything, Will, you can ask me anything, you don't have to be nervous with me" she whispered, not knowing why she was doing so.
Will took her hand and kissed it softly "Will you marry me?" he said quickly.
Elizabeth's face lit up, "Will, of course I will!" she said throwing her arms around him and kissing him, both of their eyes were closed tightly as they embraced, it was one of their longer kisses, and they did not notice that just as the sun disappeared underneath the sea a flash of green shone for a few seconds.
"I love you Will" Elizabeth whispered as they walked hand in hand back through the darkening streets.
Liam tugged at Elizabeth's skirt, she smiled at her son. "Liam!" she said sounding annoyed but picking up her son a throwing him in the air and catching him. he giggled his dark eyes lighting up and his soft hair flying about.
Elizabeth sat down and put Liam on her lap and rested her cheek on his soft hair. She heard a knock at her door, standing up and adjusting her hold on Liam so he could rest more comfortably.
Opening it she smiled "Hi Katherine" she said smiling at her friend. Katherine, like her, was an ex-pirate; she was quite pretty; she had surprisingly long black hair which went well with her emerald coloured eyes. She had to stop her pirating when she became pregnant; she lost her baby a month after he had been born due to a fever. Whenever she talked about it tears filled her eyes. Elizabeth instantly felt sorry for her and the two became friends through this. Katherine now had a young daughter, only a month younger than Liam. Her name was Rosalind, named after a Shakespeare character; Elizabeth had smiled when she heard this, Katherine clearly had the same love for books as she did. Katherine's husband was oblivious to her past, and Katherine felt so scared what would happen if he found out, he hated pirates it seemed.
Rosalind was with Katherine when she came, like Katherine Rosalind had intense emerald eyes and shining black hair. Katherine sat on one of the spare seats, Rosalind on her lap, Elizabeth sat opposite her, Liam had decided to crawl on the floor, and Elizabeth smiled lovingly at her son for a while before turning back to Katherine.
"What's up?" she asked.
Katherine shrugged "Nothing really, just wanted to see how you were, I know today would be hard" she said knowingly, searching in Elizabeth's expressive eyes for conformation.
She nodded sadly, her eyes filled with tears, today was Wills birthday, also meaning it was nearing Liam's birthday, it was like a stab in the heart not spending it with Will, her husband. She leaned down on her chair and picked up Liam, who had once again tugged on his mothers skirt wanting to be held. She rested her cheek on his head and let the tears fall. Katherine moved and took Elizabeth's hand in a comforting gesture.
"You really love him" she said gently.
Elizabeth nodded and kissed her sons head "I'm so grateful to Liam, he reminds me so much of Will." Liam looked up at his mum and smiled he raised a hand and started to play with Elizabeth's hair.
Katherine smiled "He is really cute, Liam, that is" Rosalind giggled to herself as Liam, now bored with his Mums hair turned his attention to Rosalind.
"Rozzie is adorable" she said truthfully, she changed the subject back to Will "Do you want to hear about Will?" she asked, taking Katherine's nod for a yes she carried on "Will was selfless and brave and so romantic. He would have done anything for me. He re-enacted a scene from Romeo and Juliet once, just to make me smile. All he wanted was for me to be happy, he was willing to let me go if that made me happy. i would never willingly leave him; Jack had to drag me away from him, as he lay there, dying, and all Will wanted, besides to live, was to catch one last glimpse of me before he died"
Tears poured down both women's faces as Elizabeth told the tale. "You're lucky, most of us don't even get to see a guy like that, let alone have a love like yours."
Elizabeth nodded; she was lucky "It's rare to find a guy who'd send you letters to ease the pain of your separation" she said softly and looked over at the chest, where Will's heart lay.
