Will went below to be with his son. As soon as he opened the door, William flew to his father and hugged him tightly. Will smiled, "I missed you too."

William's smile disappeared suddenly. "Dad what's that on your back," William said feeling some of the bandages left from some of the deeper cuts.

"I was injured," Will said lost in the thoughts as to how the other Elizabeth watched him whipped with pleasure, "but I'm alright now son."

"Who bandaged it," he asked peeking under Will's shirt, "They did a very good job."

"Thanks. I am glad you approve," Will said smiling, "Aphrodite took care of me for a while during my recovery."

"She must be very special. She took care of you all by herself?" Will gave a simple nod to his son. "Are we going to rescue her now from that Ares?"

"No William. I told Jack. I can not risk losing you or ask him to risk his family and his ship for one person." Will turned away from William. He felt sad, guilty and angry all at once. He wanted to save her in his heart but it could easily cost him one of his loved ones and he couldn't justify their sacrifice.

"Dad."

"Hmm," Will was barely listening because his thoughts were going back to Aphrodite and how she had come to his rescue. Then he remember how she talked about what she had to do to rescue William and Jack's family.

"Dad. Do you love her?"

"What?" Will looked at his son surprised and was slightly blushing from the question.

"Dad, do you love her? From everything I see and hear about her, it seems she loved you."

"And when did you become an expert on love at such a young age."

"I saw the best example of love when I watched you and Mom."

Will couldn't help himself; he closed his eyes as tears began to flow.

"Dad, don't you see? Mom wanted you to move on with your life. She wanted you to be happy again and to have someone else in your life."

"I know that son but I hardly think she would want me risking your life in the process."

"I want to risk my life dad. Sounds like she sacrificed herself for me and from the looks of things, she brought you back to me. You're my dad again. And if she makes you happy and you can feel love at all then isn't she worth the risk."

"Who made you so smart?" Will asked him taking his hand and messing up his hair.

Will suddenly got a puzzled look on his face. "Dad," William asked, "what is it?" Will could feel the sudden shift of the Pearl.

"I don't know but let's go topside and see Uncle Jack."

Once they reached the top of the steps and looked around, Will was right, he had felt the Pearl shifting and changing direction. He looked up at Jack at the wheel with Jess standing right beside him. "Changing course to Bermuda," Jack said smiling, "unless you have any objections."

"No objections Captain. Did it really take you this long to figure out I need her?"

"No Will Turner. It didn't take me any time to figure out that you love her," Jess said walking down to give Will a hug.

"And everyone on board is wanting to do this," Will asked looking around at the Pearl's crew.

"Well, we figured that this Ares must have amassed quite a bit of treasure along the way. We thought we might lighten his burden while saving your woman," Gibbs said.

Will was indeed of the company of many good friends. He just hoped and prayed it this rescue didn't cost him any of them.
