"Will?" A voice called from the distance.

Will stood on the beach of Port Royal, staring out into the sunset. He turned around to see his wife walking towards him and his son running way ahead of Elizabeth. The boy jumped into his father's waiting arms and Will swung him around while the boy squeeled in delight. William was just four-years-old and already knew more about pirates than anyone possibly could. He was the source of his parents grief and joy, with all the mischief he managed to get into and the hilarity of his antics. Will had returned home five years ago to his wife. Five precious years they had been together. As he put his son down, his wife reached him and he held out his hands. Elizabeth placed a baby in his arms, the newest addition to their family-a daughter named Grace Elizabeth Turner. Will took his daughter and held her close. She had Elizabeth's honey-colored eyes and his dark curls.

"I thought I might find you here." Elizabeth kissed his lips softly.

"I like it here. It's a perfect place to think and reflect. Did you realize that today is exactly five years since my curse was lifted?"

"Yes, I do and there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not thankful for that."

"Father?" William's voice interrupted his parents.

"Yes, son." Will turned to his son.

"Will you tell me the story about how you saved mum from undead pirates?" William pleaded with his father.

"But you've already heard it so many times." Will laughed.

"It's my favorite." William tugged on his father's shirt.

"Alright, but only before you go to bed tonight."

"Promise?"

"I give you my word." Will rubbed his son's head, messing up the boy's hair momentarily before it bounced back into its normal shape.

The Turner family remained on the beach together. Elizabeth played with their son, building a sand castle and drawing with sticks in the sand. Will sat nearby, with his daughter in his arms, watching his wife and son with happiness. His thoughts drifted to the past five years, the happiest years of his life thus far. Less than a year after his return, he watched his firstborn son enter the world. When his son was an infant, often times he would sit next to his basket and watch him sleep. He was astounded that he could love someone so small so much. Will was there for every milestone his son reached, from his first steps to his first word, "dada". Acclamating to parenthood was not a difficult transition for him, especially with Elizabeth at his side. They showered their son with love and attention. Not only were they parents, but pirates as well, so they sang to him the songs they had learned over the years. William adored his parents' songs and would cry unless they would sing them to him before he fell asleep.

A few months after their son's birth, a new Governor was appointed for Port Royal. The man was a childhood friend of Elizabeth's, named Charles Wellington. Their families had known one another in England before Elizabeth and her father crossed to Port Royal. After the crossing, Elizabeth and her father learned that his family died in a tragic accident. Tradition dictated that the mansion the Turners lived in was to belong to the Governor. However, he favored more of the French style of architechture, so a new mansion was built for him and Will and Elizabeth were able to keep their home. When he began his office, his first act was to ban all East India Trading Company ships from the harbor and anywhere near the island. After all, the EITC hunted pirates and Charles was raised by one after his parents died. Charles Wellington thus held a high respect and reguard for pirates. He knew of the legends of Captain Jack Sparrow, Hector Barbossa, and many others. Upon running out the EITC, Will and Elizabeth became aquainted with the Governor. Charles remembered Elizabeth from their childhood and was pleased to meet the man finally deemed good enough for Weatherby Swann's daughter.

Will and Elizabeth passed the next few years raising their son. Will took over the blacksmith shop for Mr. Brown when he became too ill to continue his work. Elizabeth ran their home and kept in contact with all the pirate lords about the activities around the world of pirates, as was her duty as Pirate King. Life was good for the Turner family until when William was two-years-old, Elizabeth tragically miscarried a baby. Will grieved with her for months about the loss. It was a horrific ordeal that he hated seeing his wife endure, but did not know of anything to make the pain of losing their child go away. Even little William noticed his mother's deep sadness and tried to help lift it by climbing into her lap to lay his head on her shoulder. Elizabeth held her son and rocked back and forth, tears silently streaming down her face.

After about six months of grieving for the child that would never be, life seemed to have some normalicy in it once more for the Turners. They were visited by a reconsiled Jack Sparrow and Ana Maria, who now shared a son named Joshamee Jackson Sparrow, called JJ for short. William and JJ got along well and played like brothers while the adults talked of how things were adjusting in the pirate world. The EITC, weakened without Beckett, had stopped their hunt of pirates around the world. It was a victory celebrated by all.

A year and a half later, exactly two days after William's fourth birthday, Will and Elizabeth welcomed a healthy baby girl into the world. Upon her birth, both parents shed a few tears for the blessing of their daughter after the miscarriage of what would have been their second child. That is why they named her Grace, because the grace of God allowed them another baby. Will insisted that her second name be Elizabeth after her mother, the strongest and most beautiful woman he knew. Elizabeth blushed and agreed to have her daughter named after her. Within the first month of her life, Grace filled her parents' lives with so much joy and happiness. Even William, reluctant at first to give up his position as an only child, began to fill his role of a big brother and loved his baby sister. He constantly asked his mother if he could hold the baby, which she allowed as long as he was sitting down. At night, he would sing fragmented verses of the pirate songs he knew to her before she went to sleep. Will and Elizabeth looked on at their children with adoration.

Will continued to watch his wife and son with a smile on his face. He looked down at his daughter in his arms. She was comfortably sleeping soundly. The rise and fall of her little chest was visible under her thin, white blanket. Even in another life, Will could not imagine a more perfect moment than that of sitting where he was with his daughter, watching his wife and son. As the sun began to drift farther behind the waves of the ocean, Elizabeth came over with William to Will. Elizabeth took the baby in her arms and Will lifted William onto his shoulders. They walked home, William singing "A Pirates Life For Me" with his mother and father. When they reached the mansion, William was put on the ground. The children were then bathed and dressed for bed. Grace was put in her cradle by Elizabeth. Will kissed his daughter's forehead. Across the room, William jumped into his own bed. Will and Elizabeth came over to tuck their son in.

"I think I promised a story tonight, did I not?" Will sat on the edge of the bed.

"The one about the undead pirates." William was ready to hear it again.

Will proceeded to tell the story about saving Elizabeth from the cursed pirates. Before he got to the ending, William was fast asleep. Will looked down and chuckled.

"He always falls asleep before the ending. I don't think he's ever heard the actual ending to this story."

"He already knows it." Elizabeth smiled.

Elizabeth leaned over and kissed William on the forehead, pulling his covers under his chin. Quietly, she stepped aside and allowed Will to get closer. Will kissed his son on the forehead as well. Both parents went to the door and looked in on their children one last time.

"Looking at them makes me realize even more precious life is. Everything we went through was worth it just for this moment." Will wrapped his arm around Elizabeth's waist.

"I know. They are precious gifts that I would never trade for anything." Elizabeth rested her head on Will's shoulder and sighed.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Giving me two of the most beautiful children in the world and being my wife for all of these years. You waited for ten long years and raised William alone. Even though I'm here now and William was reborn, it still doesn't change the nine years you raised him on your own."

"It was worth it. The ten years without you were worth it because I now can spend the rest of my life with you without interruption."

"Will we tell them the truth about what happened?"

"In time. For now we can enjoy the innocence of their childhood and how perfect things are now."

"Goodnight William. Goodnight Grace." Will and Elizabeth whispered together and shut the door behind them as they walked out of their childrens' room.

They walked down the hall to their own room. No one knew what the future would bring. Though they wished to have more children, Will and Elizabeth could only hope that they would be blessed again. For now, they were content to be a family of four. Will and Elizabeth had waited ten years to be granted the happiness that they now cherished. Neither would ever take that for granted. They would continue to live their lives in hopes that their love would be a testiment to their children and passed down through the generations so that no one would forget the sacrifice they had made to be with one another. Their love had transended time itself, for they had but one day to spend together before ten years of lonliness, one love that was so strong that time itself could not hinder it, and shared it through their lifetime and would, even in the afterlife. Nothing, not even a goddess, could break that kind of love.

A/N: This is, sadly, the last chapter of this story. I'm thinking about doing a sequel about the daughter Grace. I've got quite a few ideas. Let me know if you think that would be something worth persuing. Thank you for all the reviews and support that I've recieved throughout this story. I could not have done it without you guys!
