A/N: I'm sorry this chapter is so short. I'm suffering from a HUGE case of writer's block. But I felt I should update tonight. I'm not even sure if I like this chapter much. It's more of a filler chapter. Just please review anyway. NOTHING MEAN!

Chapter Twenty

Watching Over You

Geoffrey Hutchins soon found himself taking care of the Turner children. Beckett had left him in charge of them because Hutchins was also a father of a boy and a girl, ages twelve and ten. When Beckett was around, Geoffrey would bring his children around so Bella and Willy could have some playtime. In no time, Bella and Willy Turner were becoming fast friends with James and Cassandra. Suddenly being kidnapped wasn't so bad. Geoffrey was kind enough and he did manage to keep Beckett from hitting the twins constantly which he had done in the first week. One day, Geoffrey sat down with his children and the Turner children. Beckett was out on the sea. No one knew what he would tell the children. "I plan on going away for a while," whispered Geoffrey. Cassie and James gave a worried and confused look towards their father. They didn't know what was going on. Geoffrey continued, "Isabella and William, I'm going to retrieve your parents. I hear they're not far from Shipwreck Cove." The twins gasped. Had Geoffrey Hutchins been tricking them all along? Were they just being used as leverage. What was going on?

The aging man chuckled seeing the look that had been cast upon the childrens faces. "I'm not going to hurt them. I promise. They need to know you're alive and well. Cassie and James' nanny, Estelle, has already agreed to bring you meals and check on you occasionally until I get back." Geoffrey ruffled Willy's brown hair then kissed all four children on the top of their heads. "I'll be back in no time. You'll see." Willy sighed. He had grown quite fond of the whole Hutchins' family. He found Cassie constantly batting her eyelashes at him in an attempt to flirt and he was beginning to like it. Bella on the other hand beat up James every time he attempted to smooth talk her. She wasn't raised in England. Therefore in her eyes she wasn't so gullible. She thought of herself as a pirate. Both her parents were pirates. Her whole family except her mother's family were pirates. Why shouldn't she be one? "Mr. Hutchins," Willy spoke softly. Geoffrey looked down at the boy who sat on the floor by his sister. Geoffrey asked, "Yes, William?"

"My father was the captain of the Flying Dutchman but he's back now and is completely alive like my mother," Willy began. "When ye see him, will ye please tell 'im I'm sorry fer the trouble I've caused him?" Geoffrey's smile was brighter now as he nodded. He had talked to Bella who had told him the whole story starting from how they were raised by Jack, thinking him as his real father. How her brother didn't like his true father upon his return. Geoffrey Hutchins knew that it took a lot for Willy to apologize for the way he acted.

Will stood in the doorway of the cabin he shared with Elizabeth. She rarely came above deck to captain her ship and was getting sick every day too. Everyone thought it was from being upset and grieving her children. They decided to keep their distance though from both Elizabeth and AnaMaria who were quite crabby as of recently. "Will?" Elizabeth called out as if she sensed him watching her. Within minutes, Will was by his lover's side. Bending down, Will kissed the side of Elizabeth's head and ran his hand through her hair. "I'm here," Will whispered. "I'm watching over you." Elizabeth smiled softly as her eyes closed. Will really did make her feel better. Oh no, Elizabeth thought to herself. She felt the feeling rise in her stomach. She pulled away quickly from Will and leaned over the side of the bed, wretching into a bucket that Jack had placed by her side.
