Elizabeth Turner was asleep, breathing in and out silently, peacefully. A figure was walking towards her. It knelt beside her and brushed the hair out of her face and then continued to stroke her cheek until she woke up.

"Will" she whispered, not wanting to wake her son.

"Follow me" he said quietly taking her hands and leading her down the stairs into the main room. He led her out of the house and they stood in the street underneath the numerous stars. He let go of her hands and put them around her waist drawing her in closer. Her arms were around his neck and they were swaying from side to side as if they were dancing. Elizabeth stretched up and kissed him.

"I can actually feel you holding me" Elizabeth said "This is real"

Will smiled and kissed her on the temple "Who said this wasn't?"

Elizabeth rested her head against his chest and listened to his heartbeat.

"I miss this" she said tears filling up in her eyes "I miss you holding me, I miss hearing your voice and above all; I miss you"

Will held her tighter then raised one hand and wiped away her tears, she feel his warm and loving hold on her, it felt so comforting, so right, she closed her eyes. "I never want this to end."

They danced until dawn broke and the sun was just rising up above the sea.

Liam giggled as his mother adjusted the hat that was sitting on his head.

"Beautiful" Elizabeth finally announced putting it at a slight angle, the hat was a late birthday present for her son, it had taken longer to make then she expected, but it was genuine leather and very well made; her etiquette classes were not completely wasted on the Pirate King.

"You look so cute!" she declared picking her son up and kissing him on the cheek, Liam giggled again, the hat still perched on his head, when Elizabeth tried to take it off he moaned, it was clear that the past few months working on it was not wasted.

Setting her son down she watched him run off around the room, occasionally running after him to stop him from hurting himself. This proved to be quite frequent as like his parents Liam was a curious being, and a risk taker, the bigger the risk, the better. That 15 month mind already had some pirate like characteristics.

Elizabeth sat back down on the window seat as she watched her son, a small, loving smile on her face. She never thought she could love some-one this much, never having any younger sisters she never got to experience that motherhood feeling, she felt thrown into it, but she loved it. Eventually he ran up to her, his hat having falling off his head as he crawled under the table a few moments before, lifting his hands up he indicated that her wanted to sit on her lap, not being able to resist Liam's pleading look in his eyes, which were so much like his fathers, she picked him up and rested her cheek against his hair.

She took a hand away from her son and reached next to herself and picked up a small book, full of her small, neat writing. Opening it up at some random page she smiled down at her son. She ruffled his hair playfully.

"Want another story about you father?" she asked. Liam looked up at his mother and smiled, nodding his head so that his hair bounced. "Okay" she looked down at the book, flicking through the pages until she could find a start of a new story. "Elizabeth Swann sat down in front of the grave tears filling up her eyes and eventually falling down her cheeks. Reaching out and touching the letters that were etched into the stone in front of her. Anne Catherine Swann, her mother, She could still remember her, Elizabeth missed her hugs most of all, they were so warm and loving. Her father had always been slightly distant - especially after her mother died, but through all of this Elizabeth knew that he loved her." As she read this tears filled up in Elizabeth Turner's eyes at the memory of both her parents. "As she was crying she did not notice a shadow loom over her, she only noticed this other presence when she felt a hand on her shoulder, looking around she saw the one person she felt could cheer her up, no matter what, the only person who made her heart race, Will Turner. He said nothing but sat down next to her and just allowed her to cry into his shirt until the stars appeared in the sky and the air grew gold. Elizabeth longed to tell Will how she felt about him, but all she could say was 'thank you' to him before departing to a world where she felt she did not belong"

A knock on the door made both Elizabeth and Liam jump, the book falling on the floor, readjusting her hold on Liam as she stood up she walked over to the door. She suspected it was Katherine; she was Elizabeth's only friend here. She smiled when she opened the door "Jack!" she said hugging him, Liam wedged in between them. "I've actually missed you"

"Always the tone of surprise" Jack grinned "How's Lyall?" he asked glancing at her son

Elizabeth playfully hit him "It's Liam, you know that. Come in anyway" She sat down at the table and let Liam run around for a while, Jack sitting opposite her. Elizabeth watched him for a while; he looked sad, lonely even. Rarely seeing him like this Elizabeth instantly felt sorry for him.

"Jack?" she asked gently "What's up? Did you lose the pearl again?" This conjured up a smile again, but his features instantly fell into the sad look again.

"No. It's Will" he said after a long pause "I miss him, he was my best friend" he stared at his dirty finger nails "I never really had a friend like Will, never really had a friend. But Will would do anything to help me" he paused again "He'd do anything for anyone"

"It's hard isn't it?" Elizabeth said gently "Will was this amazing person, he was almost unreal. His flaws were that he was too good, too trusting you know. And yet he had this horrible destiny that he did not deserve" She looked down at her son "I just wish I was his destiny"

Jack was quiet for a while, he watched Elizabeth an unreadable expression on his face "People can have more than one destiny love, you're living proof of that"

Elizabeth smiled at him "Want a drink?" she asked rising up and walking towards the kitchen area. "I can't believe that a number of years ago I wouldn't have dreamed about living like this, having a son, living in a small house in an ex-pirate inhabited town"

Jack smiled back "You got any rum?"

"Of course, I am a young mother with an adventurous son who loves exploring the contents of my kitchen and he also loves to drink and eat whatever he finds, so of course I have rum, watching a drunk 15 month old is my favourite past time" she glanced over at Jack who had a slightly confused look on his face "Of course I do not have rum!"

"I'm fine, I'm not really that thirsty" Elizabeth noticed that he kept on glancing down nervously "Elizabeth, why is your son staring at me? It's pretty unnerving" a giggling confirmed Jack's story "He's trying to get onto my lap!"

"Then let him, he's wont hurt you" minutes later Liam's head appeared over table, clearly having achieved his goal. Not being able to restrain a grin she spoke to her son "Are you saying hello to your uncle Jack, Liam? Isn't your Uncle Jack nice, letting you sit on his lap?"

Liam giggled and found Jack's beard with his hand and made them sway from side to side causing Elizabeth to laugh "Leave your uncle Jacks plaits alone, sweetie"

"Elizabeth why are forcing it on him that I'm his Uncle?" Jack asked trying in vain to avoid Liam's hands

She stood up to her full height and marched over to where her son was picking him up she walked away from Jack quickly and sat down at the window seat staring determinedly out of the window "Elizabeth?" Jack repeated going over to her.

"Will is going to be away from a lot of Liam's life, I do not want Liam to see you as his father. I want Liam to know who his father was, is, and will always be"

Jack stooped down and picked up the book, flicking through it he smiled softly, he looked up at the two of them "Lizzy with this, can he ever doubt who his father is?"
