Thanks so much to my awesome PT, kurounue13! Much love to ya!

Next Morning...

Jack woke up next to Sunset, who was in his arms sleeping peacefully. He was amazed how much she reminded him of his mother last night. Whenever he was a child and he would get hurt, she would always be stubborn like Sun was last night for him to get bandages on his injury. It scared him a bit and made him start thinking of his own parents when he hadn't thought of them in a very long time.

His mother took care of him whenever his father was away. He had always looked forward to seeing his father's ship on the horizon when he was coming home. While he had loved and feared his parents, it was his own grandmother and her beatings on him that made him run away when he was only 8 years old.

Jack's thoughts then drifted off as he looked down at Sunset and he remembered their conversation about a child. To have a child with her...to be a family., Jack thought. Sunset snuggled up closer to Jack and he smiled down at her. That would be the greatest adventure., he thought. Sunset soon let out a deep breath as she opened her eyes and smiled up at Jack.

"Good morning, love, how are you feeling?" she asked softly in her sleepy voice. Jack looked at his hand and arm before flexing them. "Seems to be tip top." he said. She smiled. "All except for that black spot that's undoubtedly still there." she said as she kissed his lips softly. "I don't think that will go away any time soon." he said when they pulled away. "Probably not," she said. "but I'll still stay by your side." she said as she got out of bed and she grabbed a bottle of rum and took a quick swig from it. Jack then kissed her, tasting the rum on her lips before he took the bottle from her. She giggled as she kissed his neck softly while he drank from the rum bottle. He moaned softly and pulled her close. She smiled as she kissed up to his ear before she moved her lips to his when the rum bottle was on the floor of the cabin.

"Love, you once mentioned...about having a child." he said softly. "Yes." she said softly as she looked into his eyes. "Would..." he looked down. "Would you want to start trying?" he asked. "But Jack...what about what you said...about not trying until no one's coming after us?" she asked. "I know, but...I've been thinking about it... for sometime. And if you do become...then I will take you and we will hide. We will hide and live. Long and happy life." he said. "Jack..." she smiled. "I'd love to start trying, but I think he would find us anywhere we went...I know he can't step on to land for ten years but what happens when he can and he may or may not find us? I want to have a family so badly with you Jack, but, even though I hate to say it, I think we should wait to start trying." she said, small tears forming and then spilling out of her eyes. Jack kissed her tears away. "I'm sorry, darling, but I just think it would be best to wait when we're out of danger." she said. "Agreed darling." he said.

"And as soon as we are I want to start trying with you immediately." she said as she wrapped her arms around Jack's neck. Jack smirked devilishly. She smirked as she kissed him before the two pulled away. "I shall happily await the day." he said. "So shall I." she said before the two snuggled up to get some extra minutes of sleep.

Later in the Day...

While Jack was at the helm of the ship, Sunset was walking around to make sure the crew was hard at work making sure the ship was in shape and on the right heading before she saw Elizabeth sitting on the stairs of the ship that led to the helm.

"Alright there?" Sunset asked as she sat down next to Elizabeth. "You're lucky." Elizabeth said. "How?" Sunset asked. "I just thought I'd be married by now." Elizabeth said. "I wouldn't know the feeling." she said. "But you and Jack might as well be. You are with each other you love each other." Elizabeth said. "We should be, but we're not. Me and Jack..." she smiled as she trailed off. Elizabeth went silent. "I know this must be very upsetting for you right now, Elizabeth, but I'm sure your Will will return." she said before she got up and went up the stairs to be with Jack.

She wrapped her arm around his waist and stood there with him. "Isla Cruces? That's where we're going?" Sunset asked as she looked at Jack. "Indeed and we're almost there." he said. "That's where the chest is?" she asked again. "Yes, soon we will have our bargaining chip." Jack said and Sunset smiled. "Genius you are, love." she said as she rested her head against Jack's shoulder as she watched the island getting closer.

Once on dry land, Jack, Sunset, Norrington and Elizabeth started wandering. Elizabeth in front with the compass. Sunset and Jack were standing at the top of a sand hill together as they looked out to the water, waiting for Elizabeth to find the chest as they talked quietly with each other.

"This is useless! This compass doesn't work!" she said as she plopped down on the sand.

Jack and Sunset looked over at her as they both went over and looked at the compass. "Yes it does." Jack said. "You're sitting on it." Sunset said and Elizabeth looked up at the two. "Beg pardon?" she asked and Sunset shoo'ed her. "Move." she said and once Elizabeth moved, Jack had Norrington to start digging as he and Sunset sat down on the sandhill again.

Finally, THUD.

Sunset and Jack, who had their eyes closed and were in a meditating sitting position, opened their eyes simultaneously as they both got up and all four dug up a chest that they opened and while Norrington and Elizabeth looked through the letters, Jack and Sunset pulled a smaller chest out of the bigger one and almost instantly the four of them heard the beating of a heart.

"You were actually telling the truth." Norrington said wih a surprised smile. "I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised." Jack said with a triumphant smirk and Sunset smiled before their looks of triumph dropped when they heard a familiar voice. "For good reason!"

Elizabeth looked over at the voice before running over to him. "Will!" she said as the two embraced and Sunset and Jack turned to him. "How'd you get here, mate?" Jack asked. "Seaturtles." Will answered as he held Elizabeth close to him. "Not so easy, is it?" Jack smirked. "But I do owe you thanks, Jack." Will said and Jack looked at him, confused. "You do?" he asked and Will nodded. "If it weren't for you abandoning me on that ship with Jones, I never would've met my father." he said and Elizabeth looked at Jack. "What?" and he shrugged. "What? You're welcome, mate, glad I could be of service to you." Elizabeth then stormed over to Jack. "Everything you said was a lie?"

"Pretty much." Jack admitted before he saw Will kneeling at the chest of Davy Jones with a knife in his hand and a key in the other hand, ready to strike at the heart with it once the chest was opened. "Oi, what are you doing?" Jack asked. "Keeping a promise." William said. "I can't let you do that William, if you are to kill Jones, who's to call his terrible beastie off the hunt for me, eh?" he said as he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Will expertly. Will then stood and drew his sword at Jack. "I made a promise to free my father." Norrington then unsheathed his sword as Elizabeth and Sunset looked on at the three men. "I can't let you do that either. So sorry." Norrington said with his sword pointed to Will.

"Jack, put the sword down." Sunset said and Jack did as he turned to Norrington. "I knew you'd warm up to me." he smirked before Norrington pointed his sword at Jack and he pointed his sword back at Will. Sunset knew how this was to happen so she sat back down on the sand. "Oh have at it and get it out of your systems." she said.

Soon, the three men had started their sword fight while Sunset held the chest in her lap and Elizabeth kept trying to stop them. "Dear, just let them do it, they won't get hurt. Jack just needs the key." she said as she followed the action of the sword fight before she sat back down in the sand, Elizabeth soon joining her. Sunset then saw Pintel and Regetti running off with the chest. "OI! You two get back here!" she said before running after them. Elizabeth followed as the two worked together to get the chest back.

While running through the jungles after Pintel and Regetti, they saw a massive wheel with Norrington and Will on top, slowly being pursued by Jack. "What the?" Sunset said. "JACK SPARROW!" Sunset yelled before she and Elizabeth shook their heads at the three before turning back to see Pintel and Regetti with swords pointed at the two of them. Elizabeth backed away a little before Sunset sheathed her sword and began to fight off Pintel before the four heard rustling in the bushes and then saw a number of sea creatures coming at them. "RUN!" Sunset screamed as she and Pintel lowered their swords and he passed the chest to Sunset as the four, with Sunset holding the chest, ran off through the jungle.

They made it to the beach and saw the wheel come crashing in before toppling over in the water. Sunset then realized she had let the chest drop during a fight with one of the sea creatures as she, without warning the others, ran back into the jungle to try and find it before she saw Jack sitting before the chest, key in hand and the sea creature's head she had cut off, while his body kept looking for his head. "OH SHUT IT!" she yelled at the complaining sea creature before she joined Jack.

"Oh good, darling, I'm glad you were able to find the chest." she said as she sat beside Jack as he was putting the key in the chest. He opened it and inside was a beating heart. "Come, love." Jack said as he quickly stuffed the heart safely in his shirt before he grabbed Sunset's hand and the two ran for the beach as they got to the longboat and hid the heart in Jack's jar of dirt before there was a massive sword fight that followed as Jack and Sunset started fighting off the sea creatures along with Will and Elizabeth.

Eventually it was time for them to retreat, Jack hit will in the head with the oar. "Into the boat! We're not getting out of here without the chest!" Norrington yelled in a moment of pause in the sword fight as he ran off with the chest. "I say we respect his final wish." Jack said before he, Sunset, and the rest got into the longboat and made their way back to the Pearl.

Once there, Jack held onto his Jar of dirt. "Where's the Commodore?" Gibbs asked and Sunset and Jack both answered. "Fell behind." the two went up to the helm of the ship where Jack eyed Cotton who was steering as Gibbs said. "Well at least two of you got back free and clear-" Gibbs said before there was a rumbling heard in the water and everyone looked over to see the Flying Dutchman coming up from the sea. "Oh bloody hell." Gibbs said.

"I'll handle this, mate." Jack said as he stepped up to the side of the ship. "OI! Fishface! Looking for something?" Jack said before he tumbled down the stairs and Sunset yelled. "Jack! Damn you, be careful!" she said as she ran after Jack and helped him up. "Got it! So coming to negotiate eh? Slimy git! Look what I've got. I've got a jar of dirt! I've got a jar of dirt and guess what's inside it?" Jack sang and Sunset smiled at him as she tried not to laugh. Jack and Sun's smiles then faded as the cannons were uncovered on the Flying Dutchman.

Jack and Sunset started yelling orders as everyone was starting to make the ship ready for battle while Jack and Sunset went to their cabin. "Jack, what are we doing?" Sunset asked as she and Jack packed up their things. "Escaping, love." he said and she looked at him. "Why?" she asked. "Because I am not letting you get hurt." Jack said. "But what about the Pearl?" she asked. He cupped her face. "I can't replace you." he said as he looked into her eyes. She nodded as she looked at him. "Alright. Are we ready?" she asked as she held Jack's face in her own hands. "I believe so." Jack said before they walked out of their cabin. As they walked out, a gun slid and hit Jack's feet.

Sunset and Jack were now in good view of the battle that had ensued and Will was hanging from the mast that the Kraken had wrapped itself around as it was trying to take down the Pearl. Jack put his things down as he picked up the gun and Elizabeth was now sitting in between Jack and Sunset as Jack shot the gun at the creature before everything exploded, including the Kraken's tentacles that were now ablaze.

"Did we kill it?" one of the crew asked. "No, we just made it angry." Gibbs said. Jack and Sunset came down the stairs after Elizabeth and Jack handed the gun to Gibbs. "Abandon ship. Into the longboat." Jack ordered. Gibbs yelled the orders as Jack lovingly walked over to the rail on the other side of the ship. He touched the dark wooden railing. "Are we going?" Sunset asked softly as she stood behind Jack. "Yes, love." Jack said. "Jack, I'm not going to leave you on the Pearl. I know what you're up to." she said. "Don't worry, love, I am not staying behind." Jack said. She smiled. "Good. Because I'm not letting you leave my side." she said as she kissed him. "I forgot something in our cabin, I'll be back." she said before she went into the cabin after grabbing Jack's things from the helm of the ship first.

When she came back out of the cabin, she saw Jack chained to the mast. "Jack! Jack, what happened?" she asked as she tried to get Jack free of his chains and she saw the longboat with the small crew in it heading off for land. "Bloody stupid!" he said as he yanked at the chain. "Damn Elizabeth Swann!"

"Damn it, I'll kill her!" Sunset yelled angrily as she looked around for something to help loosen Jack's shackles before she found one of the lanterns. "Will the oil from this help?" she asked. He took the lantern and broke it and dipped the oil over his hand and soon got his wrist free. Sunset gently rubbed Jack's wrist. "Jack, love, I'm so sorry." she said. "I shouldn't have left."

"It wouldn't have made a difference. She left me here so they could get away." he said. "I don't doubt it. Jack, are you sure there's no way we can-" she started until they both heard a loud rumbling from the sea and they both slowly turned as Sunset's eyes widened and she held Jack's hand tightly, her wedding ring displayed proudly on her finger as it had been for the entire battle, as they both looked upon the Kraken.

"I'm so sorry, my love." he pressed his forehead to hers. "At least, we are together."

"It's alright, Jack, we've been through life together and now we'll go through death together." She said as she kissed his lips softly. "I love you, Jack." she said. "I love you, Sun." he kissed her softly.

As Jack held her he began to softly sing. "You are my sunshine...my only sunshine..." he reached down and picked up his sword and then held her hand as the Kraken began to rise up. "When you are not happy, my skies are grey..." the Kraken's mouth opened and Jack raised his sword after Sun had put his pirate hat back on his head. "You are my sunshine, my beautiful sunshine..." Jack looked at the Kraken. "'ello beastie."
