Jack felt his heart jump into his throat. Finally after all this time, he friend returned or at least his body had returned. Tears started to form in Jack's eyes.

"Jack. Jack, are you alright," Elizabeth called to him.

"Just give me a minute," Jack replied choking on his words. How would he tell her? He didn't want her to see Will like this. Elizabeth looked at Jack what would cause this type of reaction in him she asked herself.

"Jack, do you know that man," she asked.

"Aye," was Jack's only response.

"Do I know the man," Elizabeth asked slowly and cautiously.

"Aye," as Elizabeth started forward Jack jumped up and ran towards her to stop her.

"Elizabeth please."

"Jack. It's not," Elizabeth stopped as Jack grabbed her by both shoulders. She could now see past Jack and shrugged Jack off and continued towards the body.

"No," she cried falling to her knees besides Will. She flung over his chest, grabbing at him and sobbing. Then suddenly she stopped and stared at Will. "Jack, he's alive. Will's alive. Help me get him to the house."

Jack started towards Elizabeth. He thought the shock of seeing Will's body had made Elizabeth delusional. She wasn't accepting Will's death. He leaned over Will and saw for himself his chest slightly moving up and down. "He is alive," Jack said to himself.

"I already told you that. Now help me get him home."

Jack and Elizabeth carried Will as carefully as possible to Jack's home because it was closer. They laid him in bed and Elizabeth began to clean him up. "Jack, please go get William. He will need to see his father. He needs to know that he's alive."

Jack nodded and left the two. He went to Elizabeth's house to retrieve William and tell them all that Will was back and alive. Joyful cries could be heard outside the house. Jess didn't carry how much it hurt her ribs as she tried to get up; she could only imagine the joy that Elizabeth must be feeling. Jack didn't have to tell William to go see his father; no sooner than the words left his lips than the boy was running to the other house.

Will did not awaken for the entire day and all through the night. Finally around midmorning of the second day he opened his eyes to see his wife sitting next to him. "Elizabeth?"

"Yes, Will. It's Elizabeth and you're finally home."

"Finally home? Finally," Will asked confused.

"Well you're at Jack and Jess' house but home never the less. You finally came back to me after all this time."

"How long have we been back off the Pearl," Will asked.

Jack had joined Elizabeth and Will as well as a very slow moving Jess. "What's the last thing ye remember," Jack asked after having heard their conversation.

"I remember William going overboard and going to rescue him. I remember a bright flash of light. Was I hit with lightning?"

"Aye but what do ye remember after that," Jack asked.

"Next I remember waking up here in your house Jack. Why what else has happened," Will asked sitting up.

They all sat down with Will telling him what little they knew of his disappearance. Elizabeth explained how this had probably been his destiny and now he should be free of it. She explained her dream to him and why she knew he was coming back.

Will's homecoming was joyful to all but Will. Jack seeing his friend perplexed pulled him aside to talk to him. "What's bothering ye," simple and direct to the point Jack thought asking Will the question.

"Jack. I'm happy to be back but I've missed part of my life. I can't remember anything about it. I don't know what I did for all of that time or who I was with then either. It really bothers me."

"Maybe in time Will. Maybe it will all come back but until then ye have time to catch up and enjoy ye family. Why spend this celebration brooding when we can drink rum?"

Will smiled and thanked Jack for his help and actually accepted Jack's gift of rum. He hugged Elizabeth and William. They were a family once again. He put on a smile and tried to take away all of his family and friend's worries. But inside he was torn apart. Something had happened he knew it and he needed to find out what, why and how. It would wait for now but it would not be forgotten.

Still more to come but do you want a sequel? I know that a couple have emailed me for more but I want to hear from more….please!
