-----------------------------

The Kraken just wasn't having a good day today. Poor thing. "Oh for the love of-" Will groaned as he looked over the railing and said, "Goodness, can you stay quiet? Honestly...stop coughing up damn dead bodies..."

The Kraken let out another ear-piercing scream, causing Will to yell, "What do you want from me?" I smiled, and he said, "Please don't. Times like this, I feel like going and stabbing my-" It started waving it's arms around above the ship. I was starting to think now that it was just doing this to make its owner mad. "I'm going to ignore it..." Will whispered to himself. "I'm not going to kill it...I'm going to ignore it..." Another ear piercing cry. "Not there..." Another one. "Oh my-" Will walked off and was seriously yelling at it. I'm not even kidding, it sounded like it was yelling back. Everyone...and I mean everyone...stopped to watch this.

"Goodness." Will said, walking back over to me. I looked down at my crew to see no one was doing what I had said.

"Why isn't anyone listening to me?" I asked, once I managed to tear my eyes off of Blackbeard's ship. "LIGHT THE STARBOARD!" This time when I commanded it, cannons were going off left and right. Well, really right since...you know... I took my sword and followed Jake down the stairs, when Will stopped me. "Darling, I don't think you should be-"

"Will, she's fine." I said, taking both of his hands in mine. "I wouldn't do anything that would put her in danger." He could tell by the tone of my voice that I was serious. He nodded and said, "Alright, darling. Just be careful. For both of your sakes." I leaned up and kissed him, and turned to walk away when he took my arm and stopped me. I turned to look at his smiling face as he asked me, "Her?"

I smiled back at my husband, completely ignoring the fact that as we were having this conversation that cannons were shooting off, the Kraken was going mad, and that Barbossa was laughing evilly from the Rose...which is never a good sign.

But you know. I guess we've been thru hell and back so this doesn't phase us much. "A goddess's intuition, love." I said with a smile to him. He opened his mouth to say something else, but another person cut him off, "Captain Turner?"

I spun around to look at David who was below me on the stairs, "Barbossa's has more ships. They're circling us." Did I say we've been thru hell and back? Let me correct myself. We were getting ready to go into hell. "Oh you've got to be kidding me." I said, stepping off of the railing that I had been standing on and jumping down. I would have slipped had Jack not been there, "Watch it, darling. Caring for two there, love." Jack said, putting me back on two feet. Putting a hand around my waist he said, "We're going to have to make a run for it."

I looked at him as if he had gone mad. Which he probably had years ago...but that's not the point. "Jack, there are about 20 ships following us, and you're telling me that we're going to have to make a run for it?" As I said that, a green flash shot thru the night sky.

Jack and I both looked up and watched it as he said in completely confusion, "What the 'ell?"

"WILL!" I screamed, running to the edge of the railing to look at the deck below. I didn't see him, so I started panicing. I felt an arm go on my shoulder as someone said, "I'm fine." I turned around to see him standing behind me, "Oh thank God." I said with a sigh of relief as Jack came to stand behind him.

"We're not making a run for it." I said. I was never one to stand down. Both Will and Jack knew this, so Jack said, "Darlin', if we make a run for it, our chances are better than staying here. You're a headstrong girl, I know that. I admire you for that, but love, you need to start thinking what's best for you. You're not just watching out for you anymore."

I couldn't believe those words actually came out of Grant Jack Sparrow's mouth. It amazed me that he could say something that...

...not Jack like...

I looked at Will who nodded. Giving in, I turned back to my crew and said, "Stand down." They looked at me like I was mad. For the past seven months that I had been captain, they were used to me fighting never standing down. I nodded and said, "You heard me. I said stand down and follow the Pearl, alright? Flag the Dutchman down and yell at Bootstrap to follow us."

I turned back to the boys, ignoring the pain in my stomach and said to Jack, "And where might we be headed, Captain Sparrow?"

"To the world's end."

"No really." I said, smiling at him. "Where are we headed." Jack looked at me, and he couldn't have given me a more serious look. I gapped at him and said, "Jack, darling, you have gone completely mad! I'm bloody pregnant and you're telling me to sail to the bloody ends of the earth! You're insane! I am not doing it! I have a better chance of staying here!"

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"No."

"YES!"

"NO."

"Jack Elle shut up!" Will said, stepping between us. Will glanced over at me and said in a calm voice as yet another green flash shot thru the sky. Doing his best to ignore this, though I knew it was slightly scaring him, he said to me, "Darling, let's listen to Jack."

"Let's listen to Jack." I repeated. "I'm not familar with those words being in the same sentence, so sorry." Another green flash shot thru the sky. Will was getting really worried, but said, "Elle, please. Jack has his uncle's map. We can-"

"We have the bloody key!" I reminded him. "We won. We're not cursed anymore." I said looking at Jack, "What's left for us to do?" Jack didn't answer me, so I said, "What are you keeping from me? Jack! What are you-"

"Elle, darlin'. If I didn't care for you so damn much, I wouldn't be keeping it from you, arlight? You've just got to trust me when I say that this the best." Jack put both hands on my shoulders, and was looking at me with a facial expression I had never seen. Giving in to those eyes of his, I said, "I trust you."

He smiled and said, "Thank you. Now, flip the ship."

I looked at Will to see if Jack was joking, but he wasn't. Oh, goodness. When Jack had disappeared back under the deck, Will shrugged and said to me, " Up is down."

A few nights later, we were sailing in God knows where. It was snowing, and every now and then a part of the huge mounds of ice would break off, sending one crashing into the ocean and making our ships rock. I pulled the blanket tighter around me as snow fell into my hair. I glanced up at the Pearl where Jack was on the deck, holding up a map looking for something, and asked knowing he was behind me, "What are we doing out here? We lost Barbossa. We have the key. What's left?"

Taken back a little that I had known he was back there, Will said wrapping his arms around me, "I don't know. I wish I did, darling." He took my hand and led me into his cabin since I had come on board the Dutchman. Since Will didn't like leaving me alone, we rotated between which ship were on. Today, we were on the Dutchman.

I sat down on the edge of his bed when a sharp pain shot thru my stomach, and rested my head in my hands. "Darling, are you alright?" Will asked me in a clearly worried voice. I nodded, not looking at him, but said, "I feel awful." He laughed as he pulled me into his arms and said softly in my ear, "It'll all be worth it though."

I smiled as I snuggled into his chest and said, "It had better be."

Will was silent for a moment, before saying in a regret filled voice, "I feel like this is my first child. That's awful..." Will stopped talking, and rested his head back on mine. After another minute of silence, I said, "We won't let her forget her brother, Will."

He laughed as he pulled back so he could look into my eyes and said, "Darling, you keep saying she. And her...how do you know?" I smiled as I said with a shrug, "Because I know it is, is all." Will shook his head, smiling, and put it back on top of mine. We sat there for a moment, before I said, "You know what's weird?"

"What?"

"Your son will be our daughter's brother and cousin." He didn't say anything for a long time. It took him a minute, before he realized what I had just said, and then he said, "You're right." He was silent for another moment, before asking, "What do you think we should name her?" I looked up at him, teasingly, as he asked that and said, "Her?"

He smiled down at me and said, "You've been right about things many many more times than not. So, it's a girl. What's her name goig to be?" I shrugged as I laid my head back down and said, "I don't know. I guess I hadn't really thought about it much. It just happened so fast. I don't think I've ever really stopped to think about it."

"Saphira's a beautifil name." Will said. I glared up at him and said, "Please don't put her thru the pain that I had to go thru with that damned name." He laughed at that comment and said, "It's a pretty name, Ellie."

"No it's not." I said, sitting up. "It's an awful name." I smiled as I said, "We could name her Willamina!"

"Willamina?" Will said, laughing as he laid back on the bed. "And you said Saphira was damned. That's awful, Elle. Willamina." He repeated before closing his eyes. I smirked and said, "Scarlett."

Will snorted, eyes still closed, as he said, "I'm sure Uncle Jackie would love that." I smiled again as I laid down beside him and said, "Lila's a pretty name..." I stopped for a moment, waiting for Will's reply. He looked over at me and said, "Lila is pretty." He kissed the top of my head and said, "Lila it is then."

I smiled to myself as I thought about Lila. Looking out the window, I remembered something, "Will?"

"Hmmm?"

"What were all those green flashes back a few days ago? I mean, you didn't get any more souls our anything." Will opened his eyes and stared at me for a minute before saying, "No. I haven't figured that one out yet. Even your mother was confused about it." And just like it had been planned, I looked out just in time to see a green flash reflecting over the ice.

"Will, it did it!" I said, sitting up, looking out the window. Will didn't sit up until someone yelled, "Captain Turner!!" I was so used to being called that now, I almost got up, but remembering where I was, I let Will get up first. "Stay in here, darling. I don't want you-"

"Love, come on now. Don't want me seeing you do your job. I think your forget who's daughter you're talking to." Remembering, he smiled and said to me, "Fine. But if it's anyone that looks like they're up to no good-"

"I run back in here and lock the door." He leaned over and kissed me with a look that let me know he knew that that was the last thing that I would do. Following closely behind him, we exited the cabin to see one of Will's crewmen motioning at a man sitting near the railing, facing the ocean. He was in an old navy uniform. In a style that hadn't been used since before Port Royal was destroyed. Years before that. A style that was thrown out when he EITC was put out over a century and a half ago.

Rolling his chocolate eyes, and ignoring that the Kraken once again was going insane, he said to the man a question I had heard so so many times, "Do you fear death?" The man didn't answer. He only stared out as another piece of the ice mound crashed into the ocean. Sighing, Will took a step towards the man and said again, this time in a stern voice, "Do you fear death?"

Again, no answer. Will this time walked over to the man and turned him around, "Do you-" Will stopped when he looked into the face of that man. Nearling dropping his sword that he had taken out, he finished "-...fear...death..."

"Mr. Turner. Been a long time, hasn't it?" The man said, smiling good-naturedly. He turned to me and said with some surprise, "Ah, Miss Swanson, oh no...it's Turner now, isn't it?" Will glanced at me and made a motion for me to move away from him. Will didn't have to tell me twice. Last time I had seen this man -

"What the hell do you want?" Will asked him in a voice that I rarely heard Will use. This was weird. One, because it was this man...and he was weird enough and two, well...Kraken just spit out his body a few days ago...

Lord Cutler Beckett smiled as he said, "Oh. Mr. Turner, I think you know exactly what I want."
