Chapter 16
"Wait a minute! Let's here what she has to say!" Jack said trying to get Elizabeth back away.
Chloe was trying to get out of Mat's grip, "She's just drunk! She's ju—"
"I think we can see that mate!" Jack said sarcastically.
"What's she talking about Gaverty?" Elizabeth said sternly.
"She's just rambling drunk. She has a tendency to use that wild imagination of hers when she drinks too much. Besides what do you care?"
Elizabeth got away form jack again and pushed Chloe away from Mat, "You are the most disgusting, worthless, waste of life that I have ever seen!" she said getting close to Mat.
"And to think… I almost liked you."
"Almost?" Elizabeth exclaimed, "You were doing everything in your way to try and get me to be with you! Good god! You don't even know how stupid you are!"
Mat grabbed Elizabeth and turned her around pushing her up to the bar, "Don't you dare speak to me like that! You and your rotten little family here have been given your last chance! I don't care what you, Sparrow, your despicable son, or even your non-existent husband say or do! I rule over here! You go behind my back and you'll have the whole town on yours! You're lucky I don't just shut you up know you little washed up, spoiled rotten—"
The door of the restaurant opened but no one really realized it since they were so tuned into Mat, Elizabeth, Jack, and Chloe at the bar.
"I don't even know what else to say!" Mat continued, "You're so stupid that that you've left me speechless! Or what I know exactly what to say!" Mat looked off to the bartender, but still held Elizabeth down, "Ay, Marshall! Go get the boy! I think I saw him over in the corner!"
"Don't you dare bring him into this Gaverty!" Elizabeth yelled.
"Ha-ha, I can and I will! Come here boy—"
"I'd stop if I were you," said a voice from the crowed.
Mat looked you from Elizabeth and back to the crowed, "What?"
The room was silent, everyone looked around for the owner to the voice.
"I said… I'd stop if I were you," the voice continued.
"You got a lot of nerve! Show your face you coward!" Mat hollered still holding Elizabeth.
A smile fell upon Jack's face as he looked to Mat, "I would listen if I were you."
Mat was furious, he looked around trying to find the man, "Shut up Sparrow," Jack wanted to shoot Mat then and there but he knew Mat would get his punishment soon enough, "I'll find you in a minute! But first I have some business here with this wench!" Mat said looking back at Elizabeth.
Marshall went off to find Will.
"Now, where was I? Oh yeah, Marshall hurry up with the boy! I can't wait to tell him what I just heard!" Mat laughed meanly.
"One last chance Gaverty…" The voice said still hidden in the crowed.
"How the hell do you know my name? I know every low-life on this entire island!" Mat said still not looking. He turned his attention back to Elizabeth who was now smirking; she knew exactly what was going on, "What the hell are you smirking about?"
"You just pissed off the wrong the wrong man," Elizabeth said almost evil.
"What do you mean—. You people are loonies! I swear you and your friends need to be locked up and never thought of again," he laughed.
Mat suddenly felt a sword to his back, "Sparrow when will you take a hint!"
"I'm not Sparrow…" Said the voice.
"Then who the hell are—" Mat said as he tried to turn around but was stopped by the man.
"Let go of her…"
"I am not listening to some—" the man switched the sword to where it was again his neck, "Okay, okay, okay…" Mat said letting go of Elizabeth. She stood up straight and smiled slyly to the man behind Mat.
"Why are you smiling?" Mat exclaimed. The sword became tighter to him.
"Like I said… you just pissed off the wrong man," Elizabeth whispered closely to Mat as she went back to Jack.
The man let hole of Mat. Mat rubbed his neck as he turned around to see him. "Huh? Never seen you before? Well let me welcome you to the island—" Mat attempted to punch him but the man beat him to it.
"Thanks, but I'd rather you not," the man said as Mat fell over unconscious.
"Nice blow!" Jack exclaimed patting the man on the back, "You may be good with a sword but it seems you also know how to fight in general."
"Had a lot of time on my hands," the man said smiling as he looked at Jack and then Elizabeth. He pulled her into his arms, "So… what is it with me and having to save you?"
"I guess I just know when you want to," Elizabeth smiled kissing Will.
"Wow," Jack said reacting to the kiss. Everyone in the bar had just gone back to eating, drinking, and running around like nothing had happened.
"I missed that…" Will said wistfully as he kissed Elizabeth again.
They stopped, "I missed it too," Elizabeth said kissing him yet again.
"Sorry to interrupt your little reunion 'ere but I think there's someone here that someone would like to meet," Jack said gesturing to the corner where young Will was.
Elizabeth face lit up, Will knew what Jack meant, "Is he here?" Will asked sweetly.
"He's over playing in the corner," Elizabeth replied happily.
"I'll get 'em," Jack said as he began to walk over.
"No Jack," Elizabeth said stopping him, "Let me."
Jack stepped back to Will as Elizabeth ran over to the corner.
"Will darling!" She said as she say him playing with Clara.
"Hi momma!" He said running to her and hugging her.
"I've got a surprise for you," She whispered beginning to walk over with him.
"Really momma?" he exclaimed, "Where?"
Elizabeth stopped by the opposite end of the bar as Will and Jack.
"Jack?" Will asked nervous yet happy.
"Yes."
"What if he doesn't like me? What if I'm not a good father?"
"William, he already loves ya, you're his father!"
Will nodded as he waited in anticipation.
Elizabeth kneeled down to Will and put her hands on his shoulders, "Really darling, it's right down there at the end of the counter," Elizabeth said pointing to the end.
Will looked, "Where?"
"Look closely, you'll see it," Elizabeth said as she began to cry ears of joy.
"I don't see anything still…"
"Look very close Will, right next to Uncle Jack."
"Okay…" he looked for Jack and found him, but who was with him? "I see Uncle Jack but who's that man momma?"
Elizabeth couldn't speak.
"Who is he?" Will said looking at her.
"…That is Captain William Turner…" Elizabeth said as her tears began to get heavier.
"That's… that's papa's name… you mean? Momma, really?" Will looked happier than she had ever seen him before.
She nodded her head, "Go meet him, he cant wait to meet you," Elizabeth whispered.
"Will looked at her, then Will and Jack, and began to slowly walk towards him, Will he like me? Will thought walking to them, What if he can't stay? What if it isn't really him?
"Jack, Jack, Jack, is that him?" Will said to Jack fastly.
"That's him," Jack said happily.
"He's… he's—"
"Go on, go meet 'em! He wanted to meet you for just as long."
Will looked at Jack and hugged him. He then started to walk slowly towards Will.
He's coming towards me, he's knows it's me! Young Will thought still going slow.
They were a little over ten feet away form each other when they both stopped. The four of them were completely quiet as they waited to see what would happen.
"Will…" Will said quietly.
Young Will waited a moment, he was in shock, he finally found his father!
"Papa!" he said running as they both ran to each other and Will swept him up into a hug.
"William, I can't believe it's you! I'm so sorry!" Will said holding his son tightly.
"Father! Is it really you?" Will exclaimed hugging his father.
"Yes, I'll never leave you again, never!"
Elizabeth ran up to them crying in joy, her two boys finally together, her family finally complete!
Jack strolled up, he didn't admit but even he shed a little tear of joy. Yes Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl shed a tear, secretly. It was a beautiful thing seeing the father and son united after the grueling ten years the family had been through.
Will brought Elizabeth into the hug so that he was holding the two most important people in the world as close to him as possible. For the first time in ten years, it wasn't a dream it was real, he would wake up the next mourning next to his wife… and go downstairs to make breakfast for his son before he went to school. The three were crying tears of joy, which had been held back for a near ten years, waiting for the one they loved to return.
