William Turner had a lot to be happy for, he had a beautiful wife, an adorable son and a loving father. Unfortunately two out of the three were not there with him and he was trapped on the cursed Flying Dutchman, with a couple of people all of whom, apart from his father and friend Mr. Baylor, were only on there because they did not want to die.
Mr. Baylor, or Edward's, story was a sad one, rather like Will and Elizabeth's, his sweetheart was a lady of society, but one day got bored and ran to Tortuga where she met Edward he had helped to get onto a pirate ship and they gradually fell in love, or gradually realised how much in love they were. Edward himself had a past too, his father was one of the East India Trading Company men, and once Edward had found out about their misdealing he had himself turned to piracy, he had longed for a life at sea but was not cut out for the Navy, piracy seemed the only option, it suited him well. He had married his sweetheart a year after she joined his ship and when she got pregnant he left her on the island with the promise that he would return in time to see their child. Unfortunately his ship was attacked by Davy Jones and Edward was bordering on the brink of life and death until Will let him come aboard. "I want to keep my promise to Kitty" he said using his nickname for her "I have to; I love her."
Edward himself knew of Wills story and of the letters, it was Edward who had spied the floating bottle with Elizabeth's letter in, and Will knew it was Edwards's tragic story that had made Will take sympathy on him. Will sighed
"I have a son" he said "A son" he unfurled the letter and placed his thumb on Liam's inky handprint "Its so weird, I have only seen him once after he was born, but I love him, every time I think of him growing up I feel a swell right here" he pointed to his chest "It pains me not be with him, with Elizabeth, they're my life"
"Captain?" Edwards said a question in his tone indicating he was going to go futher
"Its Will, we're friends, do not forget that" Will smiled at him glad to have someone other than his father
"How does Elizabeth get her letters?" he paused "Do you write them when you are in your cabin and send them out or..."
"All the letters Elizabeth gets were written before I met my fate, before Davey Jones ruined my life. I was told before hand of what would happen so I wrote a load of letters to her, just to let her know how much I love her; how much I will always love her. Then, after my first six months, Tia Dalma came to me and said that Elizabeth was pregnant, so I wrote some new letters to include my son, when I visited them I gave them to a crew member under very strict orders"
Edward sighed "I hoped I could write to Kit, but I suppose that's impossible." he drummed on railing for a while "Does it hurt you, that you can never see what she looks like now? You have to wait for 8 years. I have things that remind me of Kit" he drew an emerald out of his pocket "It was a miracle I never lost it, she gave it to me when she was pregnant and I left her to get some money to support her." he held it up to examine it under the in numerous stars "Her eyes are exactly this colour"
Will smiled and unsheathed his sword "I made this sword" he said "It took me ages, I can't remember how many nights I lost but still, I felt it was worth it." he paused and this time it grew and an eerie silence fell "It was this sword which killed me" he hand clenched around the handle and his knuckles grew white, he closed his eyes and seemed to breathe out one word and his whole body relaxed "It's ironic isn't it, I made the sword which killed me"

Will was asleep, exhaustion had finally taken over, and he was now alone in his cabin dreaming peacefully, he was unaware of his father briefly peering through the door and smiling rather sadly at his son's fate.
"This is my fault" he muttered "If Will had never had met me, he would be with his wife"
"Don't take it too hard, it was fate, even if he had not met you it would have happened" Bill turned quickly recognizing that voice, that voice he would never forget.
"Georgiana!" he said his mouth dropping open, she was as beautiful as he remembered, with her dark hair and eyes and pleasant demeanour.
She pressed her fingers to his mouth and quieted him. "Our son is sleeping" she whispered turning to look at Will "It has been too long" she said "Far too long"
Not knowing who or what Georgiana was referring to, Bill stayed silent. "He is hurting, he misses his wife and his son, it kills him not to be with them, he would never have chosen this. He loves her too much." he voice shook slightly a she spoke again "This was not his choice, he should not be subject to the same life as us"
Bill cleared his throat "It was not my choice" he said quietly, not looking at her but like her he watched his son.
Georgiana tore her gaze away and looked at Bill instead "it was your choice to leave us and go pirating with Jack and Barbossa, it was your choice not to go with Jack when he was marooned, it was your choice that-" she stopped when she spoke her again her voice was gentle "It was due to your choices that made their paths cross, i suppose I should be grateful for that. If it had not been for you giving Will that medallion he would never have met Elizabeth; he would never have known love" she sighed and looked back at her son "Everything you have done, everything that has ended up hurting me can be forgiven, because, in some ways, it has helped our son. It's not about me anymore, has not been for a long time"
"Georgiana-"
"No, Bill, I'm dead, nothing can change that, not wishes, not hope" she walked closer to him "Not love, the only person in this family there is hope for is Will, make sure his hope is not false, watch over him"
Bill nodded, tears were in both of their eyes, Georgiana kissed him softly on the lips "I love you" she said before walking into Wills room, pulling the covers over him and kissing him on the forehead before disappearing.
Will woke up and opened his eyes, he swore he saw the face that he thought he would never see again "Mum?" he said before allowing sleep to take over again
He was in England walking across the seemingly infinite fields, a boy was running ahead of him and Will was watching him intently feeling proud for some unknown reason. The boy climbed a tree, higher and higher he climbed until her was nearly at the top. As he climbed, the boy laughed and the laughter made Wills heart swell.
The branch broke and down the boy fell screaming slightly, Will ran up to him, he was lying on the floor crying, thankfully only having a few bumps and bruises, he readily accepted comfort from Will and wrapped his arms around his fathers neck and cried into his shoulder. "Its okay Liam, Daddy's here. Daddy's got you; I can make all the hurt go away.
Standing up Will carried his across some more fields and up to a figure standing in the middle of a brilliant sunset. The sun seemed to dominate the sky and turned almost everything orange, yet despite its brilliance it did not seem to hurt anyone's eyes.
Will put his son down and took Liam's little hand, and Elizabeth took another together they walked off hand in hand before disappearing into the magnificent sunset.

Elizabeth was woken up by Liam's screams and cries she jumped out of bed and hurried over, but she was only half way across the room when Liam stopped, in the pale moonlight that shone across the room through the open window, dimly lighting the room up she swore she could see Will bending over the cot and comforting his son, Elizabeth walked up and took one of Liam's hand and held into she could no longer see Will. She softly walked back into her bed and half closed her eyes
"I love you" she whispered
