Epilogue

...Six Years Later...

As I emerged from the cabin, I was blinded with sunlight of a new day. I listened as I heard the blissful sounds of the ocean, wind in our sails, the aroma of salt in the air, but why was it so quiet?

I continued along deck trying to spot Liam or Will.

"Elizabeth!" Will hollered form the wheel as he came down to me.

I jumped slightly and laughed, "Will! You scared me half to death!"

"Sorry love, I didn't mean to scare you," he said as we hugged and I kissed him lightly.

"Beautiful mourning isn't it?" I asked.

"Indeed it is, perfect weather for sailing."

"For you, any weather is perfect weather for sailing," I teased.

We both laughed, "So where are we off to today, Captain?" I winked on the last word.

"Well, I was thinking that you know since we're so close and all we could maybe slip into Tortuga. You know; restock supplies, get something good to eat for all of us, maybe make a few repairs to the ship--"

"And see Jack?" I teased.

"Yes, and see Jack."

"I know you to well my love."

"How is it that you know absolutely everything?" he said holding me close.

"I'm your wife, I know... everything," I said seductively as we kissed once more.

I then realized how abnormally quiet the ship was, "Will?"

"Yes."

"Where's Liam?"

"He's uh," he started laughing a little bit, "Up there, fixing one of the sails."

"Will! I'm serious," I said playfully punching his arm.

"So am I," he laughed pointing up.

I looked up to see none-other-than my son, up in the sails of the ship, with nothing holding him there! I gasped, "William! I specifically told you to not let him up there! It's not safe! He could just... fall! I'm getting him down, Liam--"

"Non, no, no. Elizabeth, he's perfectly fine."

"Perfectly fine?"

"Yes, do you really think I would put his life in danger?"

"... No..."

"Exactly."

"But still, just please, get him down before something happens."

"Alright, alright. Liam!" he hollered.

Liam looked down, "Yes Father?"

"Can you please come down from there?"

"Awww but father, I just got up and it's--"

"William, your mother is going to have a heart attack or worse, kill me if you don't come down."

"Can't you just tell her I'm fine?" Liam hollered.

"You can try tellin' her yourself."

"Liam, this is your mother, if you don't come down right now I'll--" I hollered as Will put his hand on my shoulder.

"I'll take this," he said sweetly.

Just then, two little bodies came darting up from below deck.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Abby screamed running. "Mommy! Mommy!"

Logan was not far behind laughing chasing her.

"Abby darling," I said as she literally took me down as she clamped onto my leg, "What's wrong?"

"Logan's being mean!" Abby cried as I picked her up, "He said that--"

"Liam for the love of God get down!"

"I'm sixteen Father, sixteen! I can come down when I want to!"

"Well your acting like a five year old! Literally! I'm starting to think we had triplets!"

"I have nothing to say to that Father except--"

I started going after Logan who was still running around deck, "Logan James Turner if you do not stop this instant, I swear on pain of death I'll--"

It was then that I realized that Logan had stopped running, Abby had stopped crying, and Liam was about to come down.

Liam grabbed a nearby rope and slid down to the deck.

We all started laughing, "Liam, why do you have to be so much like your father!" I laughed.

"Well he is my son," Will laughed, "And if he's lucky he'll get half my looks."

"No offense Father, but I think I got more than half," Liam added.

"Ouch that hurt! ... You defiantly are my son, with the attitude of your mother."

"Hey! Watch yourself there Turner," I teased sitting down Abby and walking up to Will, "Or you'll find yourself sleeping on the barrels below."

"Ohhh I'm scared, real scared," Will said sarcastically as he walked closer.

Now we were inches apart, "I don't know if I like your tone Turner..." Will added.

"I don't know if I like yours either."

"Will you two kiss already?! We're all grown ups here, except Abby and Logan," Liam yelled.

"If you insist," Will said sarcastically as he kissed me. We both laughed.

"Ewwwww!" Logan yelled.

"Awww!" Abby exclaimed.

"What Logan? You don't like kissing?" Liam asked.

"No! Kissing's disgusting. I'm never gonna kiss ANYONE like that!"

"What about when you meet a girl?" Liam asked.

"I already have and she's my sister! I don't like girls Liam!" Logan yelled.

Logan then ran off to play.

Liam laughed as Abby followed along, "Wait up Logan!"

"I give him ten, eleven years. Then we'll see if he's saying that," Liam laughed.

Will laughed, "He'll find a girl that he falls in love with, but thinks he can't have. He'll end up risking his life to save her and then she'll fall in love with him. And even though it's a forbidden love--."

"Father, he's not you," Liam said sarcastically, "You got lucky with mum."

"William!" I laughed.

"It's true though, I did get very lucky with you," Will smiled.

"Luck had nothin' to do with it," I smiled.

"But seriously, what are the odds of that happening to him," Liam said walking away.

"Quite surprising, it's in your blood Liam!" I teased, "You'll see."

"Oh okay, so tell me next time we run into the new governor and his daughter, or even better, how 'bout I jump off the ship and wait for her to rescue me!" Liam said sarcastically.

"You can joke all you want now!" Will added.

"Uh huh!" Liam said going down below.

Will and I laughed, "They're growing up so fast," I sighed.

"I know, it seems like just yesterday I was meeting Liam for the first time. Now we have Liam, plus Abby and Logan."

"Liam's sixteen now, Abby and Logan will be five this year. It's amazing."

"Indeed it is. What's even more amazing is the fact that you're still with me. The blacksmith with nothing but the lint in his pockets."

"No, no, no," I said fixing the bandana on his head, "You're not a blacksmith, you're a pirate. My pirate," I smiled.

"I love you Elizabeth."

"I love you Will."

He kissed me once more.

"You're a wonderful father Will."

"And you're an extraordinary mother," he smiled sweetly.

We didn't know it but Liam had not fully gone down below and was listening to our conversation. He laughed a little inwardly as he thought to himself, I only wish I could be in love like them some day... He then continued down the steps.

"... You know, I heard the new governor of Port Royal has a daughter, 'bout Liam's age..." Will smiled.

"You don't think?" I smirked looking up at Will.

"Ya never know with us Turners, we're always surprising you," Will smirked as he swooped me up into his arms bridal style and danced around. I laughed as he picked me up.

Liam returned to the steps to see his parents once more, they fascinated him, love fascinated him. Besides Liam is Will's son, so who's to say who wont go out and find his own forbidden love...
