"Will, get the door would you." Called Elizabeth from the kitchen. Will junior huffed but grabbed his hat and went to answer the door. When he opened it he didn't recognize the visitors from the village at all.
"Can I help you?" He asked looking them over.
"Aye, get you mother please lad." Said the tanned male.
"Who are you?" Will demanded.
"I'm Tora Black this is Jack Sparrow."
"Captain." Said Jack side glancing at Tora who rolled her eyes.
It took a moment to register in Will's mind before he remembered. "You helped my mum and dad kill Davey Jones." He smiled standing back to let them in. "Mum's told me all the stories."
Jack smiled at the young boy, seeing so much of the older blacksmith in him.
"Mum! Some friends are here to see you." Will shouted. A few moments later and Elizabeth appeared from the kitchen.
"Jack? Tora?" Elizabeth rushed forward to hug the pair. "To what do I owe the pleasure."
Tora glanced anxiously at Will who saw. "I'm fourteen, you can say anything you like. Mum would only tell me anyway."
Elizabeth smiled with an agreeing nod and lead them all into the sitting room.
"Well, we've reason to believe that someone is after Will's heart." Started Tora.
"Said crook will stop at nothing to get it. So we have a solution." Added Jack resting his feet on the coffee table.
"Another classic Sparrow way out?" Sighed Elizabeth hitting Jack's boots which didn't move from their place atop the table. "I'd rather fight them."
"Hear us out Lizzie. It's either fight and die or do it our way and Will gets to leave the Dutchman." Insisted Tora.
"Permanently?" Asked Will, his excitement present in his features. Jack nodded.
"How is that possible?"
Jack and Tora proceeded to tell the Turners of their encounter with Baba Fantauzzo and eventually they went to pack some belongings and Will's heart before heading to the Pearl.
-On the Pearl-
Tora watched silently as Elizabeth fussed around Will as only a mother can and a strange overwhelming sense of jealousy hit her. The way Lizzie's face lit up at the sight of the boy made Tora wish for the same. She was more than happy with her life with Jack but having a child with him would be that extra sign of love and commitment. Tora chuckled to herself. She never would've seen herself longing for a family a few years back and yet hear she was.
Standing up she saw her significant other heading below deck. She followed him silently, wondering what he was up to. Once inside his quarters he shed his hat, jacket, belt and boots and sat on the edge of their bed. Tora edged forward from behind the door but snagged her blouse on a lose nail and the jerk sent her falling with a thud.
"'ello?" Called Jack.
"It's just me love." Said Tora standing and inspecting the hole on her hip before shrugging it off and heading over to Jack.
"What're you doing down here?" She asked him.
Jack shifted uncomfortably, a trait rarely seen in the pirate.
"I was going to get some sleep is all." He mumbled.
"Liar."
"Eh?"
"Jack I've known you long enough to know when your lying. Tell me the truth."
Jack sighed and scratched his beard. "Well, honestly...It's been a while and you were preoccupied so I thought I'd do it me'self." Admitted Jack.
Tora was still non the wiser. "Come again?"
"I can to...relieve myself."
A moment past before Tora realized what he meant. "Oh! Well I'm not preoccupied now." She smiled coyly and forced Jack down onto the bed, straddling his waist.
"Well feel free to use me to occupy yourself with darlin'." Jack's usual smirk returned to his features, showing off a few of his golden teeth.

A violent wave crashed into the side of the Pearl, sending Will hurtling across deck to wards the railing. Luckily Jack managed to grab a fistful of the boys jacket and pull him to his side.
"Thank you sir." Gasped the young lad steadying himself. Jack merely nodded but kept his arm around the boy for the remainder of the storm.
Meanwhile Tora and Lizzie were conversing below deck whilst looking over Jack's charts.
"How have you and Jack been? Any plans on going any further?"
"Further?"
"Yes. Marriage? Children?"
Tora felt sicked and hopeful at the same time.
"Marriage.." She muttered with distaste and a grimace.
"Hmm. We'll it's not for everyone." Sighed Lizzie before smiling knowingly. "I saw you watching Will and I."
"So." Said Tora her tone sharp and defensive.
"Touched a nerve have I?"
Tora narrowed her eyes. "Breathe a word of his to Jack and I'll use those pretty little eyes of yours as earrings."
