Chapter Fifteen

Reunited In Singapore

All was quiet in the mysterious Singapore city. There were bridge-covered waterways and crude wooden buildings everywhere, making it hard for anyone to pass through. Will Turner and the others, most dressed in outfits native to Singapore, didn't know where to start the search for the former crews of Sao Feng and Elizabeth Turner. They decided to search Sao Feng's former bathhouse first. Bella and Willy stood close to their father for protection and AnaMaria held her daughter closely. Most of the time Will looked around the Singapore city, hoping to hear Elizabeth or just catch a glimpse of her. He didn't know where or when she'd show up but in his heart he felt that tonight she would while they made their presence known in Singapore.

Whispers could be heard as everyone gazed upon the newcomers. "That's the Pirate King's husband," Will heard an Asian woman say. Another said, "Those must be her children." All the talk going on was directed towards Will and the three children that were present. It seemed like forever before arriving at the bathhouse. All entered except for AnaMaria, Marty and the children. AnaMaria didn't want to expose the young children to naked men.

The group of men were greeted with swords pointing in their faces. "Apparently we're not wanted here," Will said, preparing to draw out his sword. The group he was with already had their swords drawn and started to engage in battle with the many half naked men in the bathhouse. Will pulled out his sword just in time to block a man from stabbing him in the heart. He wouldn't risk being parted from his family again. Instead of the man killing him, Will jabbed at his attacker and as the man fell to the ground dead, Will pulled his sword out of the body.

"Stop it!" called out a vaguely familiar voice. All the half naked men in the bathhouse stopped attacking Will and the crew of the Black Pearl and turned towards the voice. The men knelt, apparently respecting the person. A familiar woman came into view. She had golden brown hair that was halfway up into a bun tied with chopsticks. The rest of her hair flowed freely down her shoulders. She wore a black and gold outfit. She held a cutlass in her hand, ready to take down anyone who disobeyed her command.

Will Turner's eyes widened, surprised by the woman standing just a few feet in front of them. She stood so strong and so proud from when Will had last seen his lover. "Elizabeth," Will whispered as he put his sword away. The young male pirate made his way towards the woman, only to be stopped by Tai Huang, first mate to the former Pirate Lord Sao Feng. "Don't move any further," Huang instructed. Will stiffened, feeling Huang's sword against his back. What's going on? Will thought to himself. The woman in command wore a grin on her face as she walked down the platform she stood on. She approached Huang and his somewhat prisoner. "Release him," she ordered. Huang let go of Will and turned to the group Will had arrived with, pointing his sword at them.

"Elizabeth," Will greeted with a smile. It was still hard to believe that his wife and friend stood before him, even though he expected it. Like Barbossa, she had also been resurrected and for that he was grateful. Will reached a hand up to Elizabeth's face. He wanted to touch her and make sure that the beautiful woman who stood before him was actually real. Elizabeth stopped him and said, "Where are my children?" Elizabeth let go of Will's wrist, searching for Bella and Willy. Disappointed, Will replied, "They're waiting with AnaMaria outside."

The Pirate King and Pirate Lord of the South China Sea smiled brightly now that she knew that her children were safe. Jack has done good, Elizabeth thought to herself. "Clear out!" Elizabeth ordered to the men. The men who had kneeled, stood and left the bathhouse, leaving Will, Jack, Barbossa and the crew of the Black Pearl alone with their leader. "I added on to this place when I was pregnant with Isabella and William. We were going to live here until you returned, Will," Elizabeth explained. "There's rooms for all of you. You can stay here and we'll set sail at dawn."

Elizabeth turned to head to her chambers and Will followed. Jack had gone outside to retrieve AnaMaria and the children. "Elizabeth," Will said in a hushed tone. He reached out, grabbing her wrist. Elizabeth turned to face Will and replied in a whisper, "I missed you, Will." Will smiled. That was the Elizabeth he knew. The Elizabeth who wasn't afraid to show her affection towards him. Will leaned in to kiss his wife but stopped. "Mama?" two voices called out towards Will and Elizabeth. Will glanced at Elizabeth and smiled. Seeing Elizabeth's face light up just warmed his heart. Bella pulled out of Jack's grasp and ran to Elizabeth. The Pirate King knelt down to be eye level with her daughter.

"I've missed you, Mama," Bella whispered as she hugged her mother. Will could feel tears forming as he watched the moment between mother and daughter. He looked for Willy. The boy stood by Jack, scowling as usual. Will approached Willy and grabbed the boys hand. "It's ok," Will whispered. "She doesn't bite. Believe me. I know." Will tried to get his son to move from his spot by Captain Jack Sparrow, but Willy refused. Willy spat, "How do I know she's me mum? She's supposed to be dead." Will knelt down to the boy's eye level. Will replied, "Look, William. I know you don't like me and you feel as if your mother abandoned you." Will paused, watching his son's expression. His scowl disappeared but there was still barely any expression.

Will continued, "We both didn't want to leave you. I didn't even know of you and your sister until a few days ago. Your mother died giving birth to you but she's back now. She's been resurrected by Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld and I'm sure she'd love to see you." Willy glared at his father but decided to give in for once. Willy approached Elizabeth and was immediately pulled into a hug. Will and the others watched from nearby the door. Will knew the feeling of not being near the ones you loved most. He smiled, glad to see that the Turner children had two parents now. Will's gaze turned towards Jack, AnaMaria and Lizzie. A chuckle escaped Will's lips. Lizzie Sparrow was sound asleep in her mother's arms as she held on to a ragdoll. "Elizabeth," AnaMaria began. "Where are we to rest?"

Elizabeth Turner stood and smiled, noticing the sleeping child in AnaMaria Lamar's arms. Elizabeth approached AnaMaria and asked, "And who is this young lady?" AnaMaria returned a smile to Elizabeth. Her gaze fell on the raven haired child in her arms. "Elizabeth Susan Sparrow," AnaMaria replied. Elizabeth stared wide eyed at AnaMaria before turning her attention to Jack. She smirked and asked, "This is a joke right?" Jack replied, "Why does everyone keep asking me that bloody question?" Elizabeth chuckled and turned back to AnaMaria. "She's beautiful, Ana," Elizabeth said. "All the rooms are upstairs on the right." Everyone nodded their thanks to Elizabeth and followed AnaMaria up the stairs to their rooms.

Once alone, Elizabeth stared at her children and husband. Raising an eyebrow, Elizabeth asked, "It's past midnight. Shouldn't you two be in bed?" Willy and Bella sulked and nodded. The twins exchanged looks with one another. Willy said, "I knew we wouldn't always get away with staying up late." Elizabeth chuckled. Soon Will and Elizabeth were hustling their children up to their rooms.

Elizabeth layed in her bed, reading a book when a knock sounded on the door. She closed the book and turned her attention towards the door. "Will," Elizabeth greeted with a smile. Will approached the bed where Elizabeth was. He asked, "Care if I join you?" Elizabeth smirked and pulled Will into a kiss. Will kissed his wife back. Once the kiss was broken, Elizabeth whispered, "You don't have to ask, Will. We're married." Will stood, smiling brightly as he shut the door. It felt so good to hear Elizabeth say that they were married now. It felt so good just to see her. Will removed his sword and pistol, setting them on a nearby table. His shirt and boots were the next to be removed. Will placed his shirt over a chair and climbed on to the bed beside Elizabeth.

Fingers ran over Will's scar. Even though his heart had been placed back into his chest, the scar looked as if his heart had just recently been cut out. "Did it hurt?" Elizabeth asked as her eyes met Will's. Will wrapped his arms around Elizabeth, pulling her close. His head rested on top of hers and sighed. "I barely felt a thing," Will replied. "I'm so glad you're back, Elizabeth." Elizabeth smiled to herself. She could hear Will's heart beat and it was as strong as ever. Still tracing her fingers over the scar, she replied, "Me too, Will. I didn't want to go without saying goodbye to you but I had to. I'm just glad we get to be together now." Will frowned and said, "There's always a chance we could be separated again, Elizabeth." Elizabeth quickly glanced up at her husband. She was hurt by his words and it showed on her face. "No, we won't, Will," Elizabeth informed Will. "Because you were captain of the Flying Dutchman, you'll always be protected by Calypso and I'll always be protected by Persephone."

Will looked at Elizabeth, oddly. Teasing, he said, "You've been in the Land of the Dead far too long." Elizabeth glared at Will and swatted at him but Will caught her arm just in time. He pinned his wife down to the bed and straddled her waist. He began tickling her causing Elizabeth to squirm and laugh. "Will, stop it," Elizabeth pleaded. After about the fifth time of being told to stop, Will finally did. He rolled off of Elizabeth. Laying beside her, he pulled her into his arms. Elizabeth rested her head on Will's chest. "It's really there, isn't it, Will?" Elizabeth asked, referring to her husband's heart. Will chuckled and replied, "Yes, Lizzie." Will paused and gazed down at Elizabeth.

She was so beautiful as she lied there with her head on his chest and a smile on her lips. Will ran a hand through Elizabeth's golden brown hair and said, "Thank you for remaining faithful to me, Elizabeth." Elizabeth looked up at Will and replied, "It's not hard to do when you're in love, William Turner." Will grinned and kissed Elizabeth's forehead. "Jack did a great job raising the twins, didn't he?" Elizabeth asked. Will nodded and replied, "He did but he had the help of the whole crew. They all pitched in."

"Even Barbossa?" Elizabeth asked with a laugh. Will laughed and said, "Even Barbossa." There was a pause before Will continued. "I should be upset with you for not allowing Jack to tell me about our children but I can't be. You're back in my arms and our children are healthy. That's all that matters." The Turners talked late in to the night about their approaching voyage and the plans they had for their children. Soon both Will and Elizabeth were asleep in each others arms.

The next morning at dawn, the crews of the Empress and the crews of the Black Pearl prepared to set sail. Once on board, all the children went below deck to go back to sleep. Elizabeth stood behind the wheel of the Empress. It felt good to be behind the wheel of her beloved ship again. After all she had sailed and pirated until she was six months pregnant. Will approached Elizabeth behind and asked, "Feels good, doesn't it?" Elizabeth looked over her shoulder to Will and replied, "More than you'll ever know." Will smiled and kissed Elizabeth's cheek. "Where to, Captain Turner?" Will asked with a smirk on his face. Elizabeth thought carefully about her answer then replied, "To Shipwreck Cove, Mister Turner."
