Last Hope

Disclaimer: No still not mine.

Author's note: Hey thanks for all the reviews. Here is the next chapter, for this one we are back to the Dutchman.

"William, your destiny approaches and it tis on the wings of two birds. But you must remember do not hate them for it twas not your destiny to gain that treasure. You must concentrate your anger on the main evil and use your hurt to slay the beast. Because though this treasure is not yours you must protect it."

"What are you talking about Tia? What am I protecting and why am I going to be upset about two birds?"

"You will see."

That was all she said before she walked away. And Will heard Jones yell that the Mariner was only two days behind and they should prepare for battle. All Will could think about was getting his friend and fiancée back and how much he had missed both of them. All of these thoughts were from a naïve boy who was about to become a knowing man.

And break back to the Mariner

For weeks Jack and Elizabeth had told the crew nothing but they knew something was up. Before Jack had been acting responsible for Elizabeth but for a month or so he had been protective and had left them confused. Finally one late night Gibbs caught Jack on deck and decided it was time for him to ask.

"Er, Captain if ye don't mind me asking, what is it that ails ye about Miss Swann so much?"

"Gibbs you would shoot me if ye knew."

"That would be mutiny and I ain't doin that again."

"She's pregnant."

"Oh her and the whelp got together before he left, but shouldn't she show more."

"It's not Wills."

"Then whose is it?"

"Mine, but don't tell anyone I told no one would know till Will knew."

"Is she staying?"

"I'm her last hope."
