BOLD dreams

Italics memories and or thoughts

BOLD italics letters

The house felt oddly empty without Katherine and Rosalind, and Elizabeth felt tears sting her eyes that night before as she moved a few essential things into the house opposite hers, including Katherine's and Rosalind's bed. Katherine smiled at Elizabeth after they had finished moving and hugged her friend tightly

"Miracles happen," she said as they hugged "Do not give up"

She felt the tears flow freely down her face as she walked around the empty house, as she walked past Liam's room she paused and listened to his breathing as he slept, somehow this caused her to cry more and she ended up crouching on the floor crying feeling so lonely, but she did not know why, a knocking on the door made her straighten up and she dried her eyes quickly and went down the stairs to answer it.

She saw it was Edward and she smiled at him "Hi Edward" she said hoping Katherine was there, it was strange how much she missed her friend already.

"Can I come in?" he asked shyly smiling "I need to talk to you, I need to explain some things" Elizabeth nodded and led him over to the table and waited until her sat down before taking a seat herself opposite him. "I bet you are wondering how I got here" he said smiling

Elizabeth nodded "Did Calypso release you, or rather bring you back from the death, she did that with Barbossa"

Edward smiled "No, your wrong; Calypso did not release me Will did."

Elizabeth's head jerked up and she stared at him her eyes widening "You know my husband?"

Edward nodded "I was on the Flying Dutchman with him" at this Elizabeth got up and rushed around the tabled to the chair next to him, she pulled it closer to Edward and sat down

"How is he?" she asked looking hard into his face and grabbing his arms an pleading, almost thirsty look in her eyes "Is he alright," she bit her lip "Does he talk of me at all"

Edward smiled "He is as good as can be expected." he sighed "He loved you Elizabeth, he talks of you all the time, and Liam" he smiled at her. "He really misses you." he sighed "There were days when he pined over you, just looking out to see, he was clearly thinking about you and Liam. Some days he would not sleep at all and instead sat in the crows nest carving your name onto the mast." he smiled sadly "He carved Liam's name too, on another mast. There were days when he would say something like "He would be three now, or she would be this age. He would also count the seasons, or some memorable occasions the two of you shared. He always knew, without fail, the day you met, the day you pulled him from the water and assured him that you were watching over him"

Elizabeth nodded slowly and felt tears burn her eyes and gradually spill out and trickle down her cheeks, out of the corner of her eyes she saw Liam walking down the stairs, and she turned her face towards her son so she could wipe her tears away, "Do you think he knows that I miss him too?" Elizabeth asked

Edward nodded "I think he knew, he never seemed to think that much of himself though, he probably hated himself for thinking that you missed him, he probably thought that in thinking that you missed him, he was being something that he hated, an egomaniac"

Elizabeth smiled; that did sound like her Will, and she felt a surge of pride for him. "What made him release you? It seemed like the two of you got on well, you seem to like him"

"It's impossible not to like Will" then Edward was silent for a while, he did not do anything apart from look at his hands. "He got a letter from you, after that he changed, he told me I had to leave, that my years of servitude were up. I could tell that in a way he did not want to let me go, I did not want to leave either, but Will was determined" his voice was suddenly intent "What was in that letter you sent him?"

Elizabeth cast her mind back a few days and thought for a while, she remembered holding Liam and Rosalind guiding theirs hands as they wrote their names, she remembered gently wiping away tears from the parchment as she wrote how much she missed him, then to try and make it seem like she was not feeling sorry for herself that she was not alone she talked of her best friend "I told him about Katherine, about how she was mourning for her husband, you. I asked Will if he could get Calypso to raise you from the death. I did not know you were with him"

Edward smiled "Will always said you were amazing. I see now that it is true. You were the woman that helped reunite me with Kitty, you gave me money when I was hungry, don't think I have forgotten that, and you were a friends to some of the people I care about most. I have to say, Liam is the luckiest boy in the world" Edward got up and walked towards the door but he turned towards Elizabeth before leaving "Will asked me to give you this" he took the letter out and put it on the side table "I don't fully understand but it was important to him that you got it." he smiled "Kitty will be around soon. She'll want to know about the letter" he left with a final smile.

Elizabeth held the letter in her hands a soft look on her face; Will had been getting her letter, and now he had returned one to her. She sat down on the sofa, and seeing Liam walk past she pulled him close to her. Liam rested his small head against Elizabeth's arm but said nothing. Elizabeth smiled down at him and kissed his head, she put her arm around him and with shaking hands she opened the letter and unfolded it

My dearest Elizabeth and my most special son

I can not tell you how much I miss you, words can not describe it. Nor can they say how lucky I am, I am the husband of the most beautiful woman in the world, and the father of the cutest boy in the letters have been an inexplicable comfort to me and it touches me to see how much our son has grown, from that small boy who dipped his hand in the ink and pressed it to the bottom of the paper to the slightly bigger one who wrote his own name, with a steady hand. I am so proud of you both, and I still feel a swelling in my chest when I think of you. It will never go away. I will always love you and I'll do whatever I can to make sure you are happy, even if it means that I get hurt.

Elizabeth, please talk of me to Liam often, I do not want him to forget me, I fear that dreams are not enough sometimes.

I have sent Edward to your friend Katherine, it is no coincidence, I feel that we were meant to reunite them, and no good deed goes unrewarded, Edward has served me faithfully for these past few years, it only seems right that he gets his happy ending as soon as possible, his love for Katherine is a lot like our love. He knows not about his daughter Rosalind, and I think it is up to Katherine to inform him. Be sure to tell Katherine of this, that Rosalind IS Edward's child, it is by Calypsos doing. Katherine does not know that she originally had twins but she only birthed the boy, she reawakened the girl when Calypso saw fit, please ensure they do not break up, I did not give up my first mate only to have him leave the woman I released him for.

I dream of you still Elizabeth, and I know you dream of me, Davey Jones might have torn us away psychically but he can never take our dreams away from us, along as we have dreams I know we can get through this, we have almost come halfway through our ten year journey and we have both passed many milestones, however large or small. Just remember no matter what you do or achieve I will always be beside you, smiling, knowing that I'm yours for eternity.

Love from Will

P.S. I love you

Elizabeth smiled at the letter and re-read it a couple of times, how can she read his words so many times and its effect only strengthened, tears sprang to her eyes and she raised a hand to wipe them away. Liam pointed at the letter and smiled "Daddy!" he said and smiled

Elizabeth pulled Liam onto her lap and kissed him on his cheek "Yes," she said softly into his ear "And he loves you so much" a smaller letter fell into her lap and Elizabeth picked it up and peered at the name written in the familiar writing then smiled, it was addressed to her son

"Daddy wrote a letter to you" she said amused as she opened it

To my dearest son

I remember holding you the day you were born and thinking I was the luckiest man in England, now with your mothers letters and seeing you in dreams I realize I was wrong, I am not the luckiest man in England, I am the luckiest man in the world and I will do whatever it takes to protect you from whatever there is out there, Your Mum and I will do anything it takes to make sure you are happy, because we both love you so much, no matter how much trouble you get into, and we will fight away all your fears. Everyday I thank the Lord for making me your father.

From your father

P.S. See you in Dreamland

Liam listened as Elizabeth read the letter out to him, a small but confused smile on his cute little face. He tugged at Elizabeth's shirt to get her attention

"Yes, sweetie?" Elizabeth said patiently

"When is daddy getting home? Where is he?" he blinked up at her, with such an innocent look in his dark brown eyes Elizabeth longed for the times when she was 13 and unaffected by the laws of propriety that controlled her from her late teens. "Mummy?" Liam repeated his hand reaching out to tug at her shirt again.

Elizabeth took his hand before he could get to it and held it gently "I will tell you one day" she said gently "Just not now. Daddy did not want to leave us, if it was up to him he would be here"

Liam rested his head against her and said nothing for a while "I miss Daddy"

Elizabeth rested her head on his and sighed "I know me too" she pulled him closer and wrapped him in a hug "I'm so glad I have you" she said.

They sat there for a while until Liam got down to play with one of his toys at the other end of the room. Elizabeth remained where she was sitting re reading the letter over and over until she felt someone sit beside her and a voice say "Your husband is an amazing man; Liam is lucky"

Elizabeth smiled "He is isn't he?" she smiled at Katherine, noticing immediately that there was something different about her, she seemed happier, like there was a shadow gone from over her; there was no sadness in her eyes anymore and Elizabeth was delighted in this change. "So is Rosalind, she has two of the most devoted parents"

Katherine smiled "Thanks," she paused "Do you think, well how am I going to tell Edward that-"

"Rosalind is his daughter? He probably knows deep down." Elizabeth said and threw the letter onto Katherine's lap and watched as her friend read it smiling in some places, her expression changed to one of confusion as she finished and looked up at Elizabeth, a questioning look on her face

"Why would Calypso do this? After what she did to Will, after what she did to Davey Jones? I thought she was evil, a heathen Goddess?"

Elizabeth shook her head "it was not her choice for Will to be Captain of that infernal ship; and Davey Jones deserved his fate, he deserves to have his putrid heart broken thousands of times because I hate him! He tore Will away from me; he was the one who forced Will into the role. Will had the choice to turn his back on that destiny, and he chose me! Not immortality; he chose me and Liam. She is not a heathen Goddess, she was a woman in love, but had been hurt by a mortal before. That's why she was not there for that wicked creature, because she could not risk her heart again" throughout all of this Elizabeth did not sound angry, nor did she sound annoyed; she just sounded sad, almost defeated.

Katherine looked at her friend for a while before speaking "Rosalind really is Edwards then, she is not George's, I do not have to fear that she will turn out like the man I hate, the man who hurt me so much. I am really rid of him?"

Elizabeth smiled, any trace of annoyance she may have felt with her friend vanished "yes" she said "Isn't it great. Where is Rosalind anyway?"

"With Edward, she really likes him, she follows him everywhere already, she like a little dog. I bet she already knows he is her Dad" she smiled and leaned back blissfully "I just can't believe how far I have come, a few years ago I had nothing, no child, no husband and no friends, and now look I have all I ever wanted" she smiled at Elizabeth "And you will too, soon"

its weird Elizabeth thought, there was a time where it was I who had the better looking life, I had Liam, the child of Will, and the promise of him returning whereas she literally had nothing left of Edward, or so she thought, the child that he gave her died, and so did he, well in a way. And now look, she does have his child, and he is right there actually beside her, and it is I who is the unfortunate one.

Elizabeth laughed out loud at this and Katherine shot her a questioning look again, "I was just thinking of some of the mischief our little terrors got up to recently"

Katherine laughed too "They are funny aren't they, those pretty adorable little terrors"

"Kath promise me you won't forget me, just remember to visit sometimes, if only for Rosalind and Liam; they adore each other"

"Seriously Elizabeth, I think I will still be around here a lot, Edward needs to get to know his daughter and Liam too for that matter" Katherine grinned evilly "And if not there is always Dreamland"

Elizabeth laughed and shoved her friend "Oh shut it......Kitty!"

Katherine gave a snort of laughter and then let out a cackle, until she was bent double with laughter, tears pouring out from her eyes

"Katherine! Is that really how a lady behaves what ever happened to decorum and etiquette?" Elizabeth said before succumbing to laughs herself

"I do not know, I made friends with some governors daughter and she led me astray" she said between giggles.

"These governors daughters, you can never trust them" Elizabeth struggled to get up and walked to the kitchen area "Do you want anything?" she called out and not waiting for an answer she took some weak mulled wine down from the cupboard and pouring it into two cups and gave one to Katherine, who had finally stopped laughing and was gazing across the road towards her house.

"You want to go for a walk with me and Edward?" Katherine asked after a sipping her drink for a while.

Elizabeth shook her head "No, you guys have loads to catch up on; you need to be alone for a while. Where are you going anyway?"

"Just the beach"

*****************************

A few hours later Elizabeth walked around her empty house, if Katherine were here they probably would be playing cards, or a small game with Liam and Rosalind, instead she was trying to find Liam who had taken that moment to hide. When she eventually found him hiding under her bed she gently pulled him out and sat him on her bed

"Found you" she said smiling pulling some dust out of his long hair. Liam suddenly smiled beguilingly at someone behind her, and Elizabeth whipped around and stood protectively in front of her son, wishing she had her sword on her. Her eyes widened when she saw Calypso standing there in her human form of Tia Dalma.

"No good deed goes unrewarded" was all she said in her strong Jamaican accent

"What? What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked still remaining in front of Liam, who had craned his head around her to smile at the visitor.

"What William Turner did was an unselfish act, and he will be rewarded. He will get to see you for 12 hours, but only one of you. It is up to you to decide"

Elizabeth breathed deeply "How long do I have to decide?"

"Not long, an hour at most. It is your choice Elizabeth Turner"

"I chose Liam. Liam can see his father, Liam can see Will"

"Very well. I will take Liam at dawn, be sure that he is ready"

With that, Calypso disappeared and Elizabeth turned to look at her son and kneeled down to his level, she gently stroked his hair "You are going to see your Daddy"

A huge thank you to all my reviewers
