"And do you, William Sparrow Turner take Candace Jane Norrington to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"I know pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Liam smiled down at his beautiful bride before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Their assembled families broke into ecstatic applause as they waited for the couple to resurface. Elizabeth was crying openly again her husband's chest—though the commodore looked rather misty himself. Will and Jack, dressed finely for the occasion, watched their son proudly as he took Candy's arm and led her towards the reception.
Many drinks and dances later Jack raised his glass. The table all turned to him and he stood his trademark stagger missing. Liam clasped his wife's hand tightly and Will couldn't help but smile tearfully.
"My son has grown into a fine young man. At first I had a lot of doubts whether I'd be a good father, and I'm sure there were many times when I wasn't doing my job quite right. That's when Will, or occasionally Gibbs, would smack me on the head and force me to see what was right in front of me. A healthy, happy little boy who's turned into a healthy, happy man. There is a bright spot in losing me only son to marriage—now I can drink whenever I wish."
Jack tipped his glass before downing the contents in one gulp. The group around the table laughed and Jack flashed his charming pirate smile. The evening wound down soon after and the newly-weds left to explore the perks of their new marriage. Slowly Jack and Will made their way back to the Pearl to strip out of their wedding finery.
Will gazed at his lover fondly as he threw his expensive clothing into haphazard heaps on the floor. Jack's hair was liberally streaked with grey and his skin had begun to wrinkle around his eyes and mouth. Will knew that his own beauty was fading with age but he found that it didn't matter to him. All that mattered in that moment was getting Jack naked and into his bed.
"When are you gonna make an honest man outta me, Jack?" Will asked, lying atop the coverlet.
"I can't make you an honest man without being one first." Jack smirked, draping his body across his.
"It's so quiet now." Jack murmured suddenly, pulling back from Will's kiss.
"Wait until we have grandchildren." Will replied, kissing Jack soundly.
Years of practice taught Jack exactly how to touch his lover to make his writhe and beg. With a sigh he poured oil over his erection and slid into Will's body. They rocked with the waves until the sensations were too much and they came together, their lips fused and their breaths mingled.
"I love you, Pirate." Will whispered.
Jack wrapped his arms tightly around the younger man and pulled closer. Will had been by his side for nearly twenty years and not a day had gone by that he wasn't thankful for it. He dropped a kiss to the top of Wills curly, and slightly silver, hair and smiled.
"I love you too."
