"...there will come a moment when you have the chance to do the right thing..."

Neptune's War
The Last Day

As the Pearl seemed to get lower into the water, Will grabbed Lila's hand and pulled her on the top deck. Keeping firm grip on her arm, he turned back down to Jack and Saphie. "Oh, heavens..." He mumbled when he saw them kissing on the lower decks as the Pearl sank. Lila couldn't hide her smile as she came to stand beside Will who looked a little annoyed by this whole situation. "Oi! Jack!" Jack didn't move. It seemed as if his lips were attached to hers and couldn't be removed, "JACOB!"

"WHA' ?" Jack yelled, pulling his lips off of Saphira's to see a smiling Lila and a furious Will. He kept an arm around Saph's waist as he glared a murderous glare up at his former first mate. The captain of the Flying Dutchman just stared at him for a moment, as if he had popped out of thin air, and yelled, "We're bloody sinking!!! If you hadn't noticed this! I don't think this is the best time for you to be kissing Saphira!"

"You and Lila-"

"I'M NOT BLOODY KISSING HER NOW! WE ARE SINKING! AND IF YOU DON'T GET UP HERE, I"M LEAVING YOU! BECAUSE I AM NOT WAITING FOR MY FIANCEE AND BABY TO SINK WITH IT, GRANT!" Will was getting pretty upset. Not that he should be talking. He and Lila were bad at times, but like he said, not when the ship was actually sinking. Jack realized what Will had just said, and took Saphira's arm and led her up to the top deck. Jack looked back down at the Pearl as water filled it up. Saphira smiled sadly and whispered, "Jackie, it's just a ship."

"Yes, just a ship that we'll be going down with in a minute." Will said, annoyed as he stared at Jack waiting for him to move. Lila shot her fiancee a glare, but turned back and smiled over at Jack. "Alright, before we leave...do we need to get any- LI!" Realization hit Lila. She broke out of Will's grasp and jumped into the water. William stared at her for a minute, before realizing that she did indeed just do that, and jumped in after her leaving Jack and Saphira alone again. Jack leaned down and kissed her again, only to be smacked up against the head when a wet Will emerged holding on to Lila. Lila was smiling over at Saphira and Jack as she clutched the chest in her arms.

"Darling, you have got to keep a better eye on that." Will said, in a bored voice as he massaged his temples. Lila sighed as Will grabbed her, and then motioned for Jack and Saphira to come over to them. "Will, have you done this before?" Lila asked him, in a worried tone. Will looked over at her and said, "No. You said Davy could do it. I can materialize myself, I should be able to do all four of us..." All four of them closed their eyes and held on to each other as Will tried to move them. When they opened it again, they were in the pub that the Brethren Court meeting had been in hours earlier.

"Lila?" Lila turned up from Will to see her father walking into the room. The man that she hadn't seen in months. The man that she hated so much sometimes, but nothing could have prepared her when she saw him. She felt a tear roll down her cheek as she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him. He wrapped his own around her and held her for a long time. "Darling, I was so worried. I was told that you were shot by one of my men...I couldn't bear it..." He pulled back to look into his daughter's face. She had never looked so much like her mother, so much like a Sparrow ever before. "Why did you do this to yourself?"

"Fighting for what's right?" Lila asked, stepping back from her father slightly. Her father's eyes fell on the chest that she was standing beside. It was his brother's. Or was his brother's. He looked back into her eyes as she said, "Why did mum do what she did, Daddy? She was a Sparrow. You know that as well as I bloody do. Did you think that if you just told me not to tell anyone and not to live that life that you could make me not follow in my mother's footsteps? Do you think that this is the right way? Father, it's not."

"You're not a pirate-"

"Dad, yes I am. I've sailed on a ship for five months. I've killed people, I've sword fought...what does that make me? A saint?" She raised her left hand up and pushed back a curl. As she did that, he noticed two things. He noticed the small sparrow on her wrist just like her mother had and he also noticed a diamond sparkling on her finger. That somehow changed him. He glanced over at Will who was standing in the corner of the room, now walking over to stand beside her.

"I'll call it off." Neptune said, eventually.

"Are you serious?" Lila asked him, in pure shock. "Daddy-"

"-darling, your mother was a pirate. And a good person. A gorgeous person. I have no problem with that if that is the life that you choose, because you're my daughter. And I want what's best for you." He looked at Will and said with a smile, "And I see now that this is the best for you-" She smiled and threw her arms around him again. He kissed her cheek, and said, "We don't have much time. I need to get you to the Sun as quickly as we possibly can..." He trailed off when he saw Jack and said, "Jacob. Nice to see you again, son."

Will smirked at that name, causing Jack to wince, but say, "Uncle Parrish..." Neptune smiled at him, and put his arm around Lila's waist as he led her out of the pub. Will and and attached Jack and Saphira followed them closely as they entered the dark streets. Jack momentarily turned away from Saphira to look into the shadows. He thought he had heard voices, but turned back to Saphira.

"You're rather jumpy tonight, Jack." Will said with a slight smirk, as he glanced over at the infamous pirate lord. Jack rolled his eyes, because he was in no mood for these kinds of comments. More so, because he knew he had heard something. He heard it again. And this time, Lila apparently did too because she turned away from her father and turned to look behind them. "Jack..." She whispered, but it was already too late. He knew he heard something...

"LILA!" A scream accompanied the gun shot. Whose it was, well that wasn't for sure. After the smoke cleared, and Will had pulled out his own gun and restrained the men, it was clear who their target was. And also, who their target wasn't. Lila's face was drained from color. She was pale, almost ghost like as she stood there, staring down at the ground.

"Jack..." She whispered. He whispers turned into a scream as she broke away from her father and ran over to the lifeless form of Captain Jack Sparrow laying on the ground. "JACK!" She collapsed on the ground in front of him, cupping her hands around his pale, yet still handsome face. "Jack, please..."

"Love-" He managed to croak out, but his eyes closed again. Will took this time to shoot the man that had killed Captain Jack. Well, he wasn't dead yet, but Will didn't really care. He was dying sure enough. Shoving his gun back in his belt, he walked over to the lifeless form of his friend. Saphira was crying as she kissed him lightly and whispered, "I love you, Jackie."

"I love...you too, darlin'." He managed to say, as he strugged to keep his eyes open. Saphira started crying uncontrollably, so Will brought her into his arms and tried to calm her. Lila was still staring down at Jack as tears rolled down her cheeks. She took his hand in hers and said, "Jack, you're and idiot. I want you to know that. A bloody brilliant one...why did you do that? Jack, open you eyes!" Will looked up at Lila. He had never seen her like this. He honestly felt like breaking down himself, but he was remaining strong for the girls' sakes.

"Jack, please don't. Please!" Lila was crying now, not quite as hard as Saphira was, but hard. Saphira glanced down at Jack and just stared at him as his eyes closed. "JACKIE"! Saphira screamed and laid her head down on his chest. Knowing that she shouldn't be doing that, Will wrapped his arms around Saph's waist and brought her into his arms whispering something to her as he stroked her hair. Will rested his head on Saphira's as he glanced down at Lila who was just staring at Jack's body, his chest gently rising and falling but getting ever so slower.

"Jack, you can't do this. What about Saphie? You can't leave her!" Lila said, between sobs as he father wrapped an arm around her shoulder and looked down sadly at the dying form of his nephew. "You can't leave her! Jack...you can't leave me..." Lila started crying as hard as Saphie was, only doing it silent. She hated showing her emotions, but right now, she really couldn't care less what she did. She leaned down and kissed his forhead, still holding on to his hands...

"The Jewel of the Sea." Grant nodded, as he rested his rum bottle down. He looked over at his niece and said, "It can partly heal any wound, even the most lethal. Take it away completely? Now that it can't do. That'd be Calypso's job-"

"-so why couldn't Jack and Will have used that when I was shot?" Lila had asked her uncle, just a few weeks ago. Grant smiled over at the girl that made it seem as if he was talking to his sisters ghost. He took her hand in his, and said, "The Jewel only works for it's keeper. It chooses people. It chose your mother, and it chose you. Only you can fully command it..."

Lila reached around her neck and unhooked the Jewel that hung on her neck beside Will's key. Her father watched her do that as a tear rolled down his tanned face. She smiled weakly at him as she turned back down to Jack. Thankfully, he was alive. Though just barely. She pushed his shirt back as Saphira watched her everymove. She took the Jewel and laid it on Jack's wound and whispered, "Captain Jack, I really can't allow you to leave us...I can't..." She held one hand as Saphira took the other and waited. She could feel Jack's pulse start to beat faster. A light ingulfed him momentarily, and when it disappeared her father nudged her.

"Lila..." She raised her head up from Jack to see the glittery form of her mother. She smiled down at her and said, "...I'm proud of you..." She kneeled beside Jack and put her hand over his wound. It started to heal, though it was steal there. Lila knew why. It wasn't Calypso. It wouldn't take it fully away. When Jack's eyes popped open, Amphitrite leaned down and kissed his forhead. Jack opened his mouth to speak, but she just smiled and shook her head. "I love you...both of you. You'll make our family's name proud, loves."

Lila was still clutching Jack's hand a little tighter than she probably should. Looking up at Neptune, she gave his cheek a small kiss before saying to Lila, "Lilabelle, you'll make the finest queen these seas will ever see. Have faith, love." She embraced her daughter for a moment, and it was then that it was clear to everyone that Lila did truly look just like her mother. The same beauty and all.

"Mum, the Jewel...what is it?"

"It's me." Amphitrite said as she smiled down at her daughter. "I told you I would never leave you, love. And I never will." Lila started crying and hugged her mother one more time. Before she left, she put her hand on Will's shoulder and said, "Take care of her, William. I knew you two would keep that promise. And your mother sends you her love." She kissed Will's head before walking back over to Jack.

Poor thing was just laying there in a mixture of shock and pain. Looking back over at Lila, Amphitrite smiled and said, "I'm always here. Whenever you need me, just know that the Jewel will call for me. I won't leave you. Ever. I love you." And with that, Amphitrite vanished as quickly as she came.

A silence followed. Even the smallest whispered would have sounded like a scream.

"Wha' the bloody 'ell was that?" Everyone looked down at Jack who was laying on the ground, rubbing his wound. " 'Ell." Lila smiled as Saphira leaned down and kissed Jack. Jack put his hand behind her neck, and said, "You act as if I scared you, darlin'."

"Shut up, Jackie." Saphira said, kissing him one last time before allowing Lila to hug him. When he felt her tear hit his cheek, he chuckled softly and said, "Lala, you know that I wouldn't let anyone hurt me princess, right?"

"You're an idiot, Jack." She said, hugging him again. "But thank you."

A few minutes later, the five of them appeared at the docks once more to find it strangely quiet. No cannons, no screams or explosions, or anything like that. Will and Jack were the last to emerge from the dark path, since Will was allowing Jack to lean weight on to him. Keeping a strong arm around Jack's waist, Will managed to bring the two of them behind Neptune.

"What's going on?" Will asked when he saw the pirates and Neptune's army walking up the hill. No fighting. No nothing, just walking. Once they came, Neptune smiled and said, "The EITC has been destroyed. I was a fool to have trusted them. " Lila smiled at her father as she took Will's free hand. Neptune stood on an overturned longboat and addressed the remaining people in front of him. "From this day forward, the pirates shall have their freedom where they roam, and my kingdom shall remain strong-" At this, cheers and applause rang out.

Saphira walked up to Will, and Will smiled as he moved so that she could be the one to hold Jack up. Jack seemed to like that arrangement better. Will came to stand behind Lila as Neptune said, "-my kingdom, shall reign under a new ruler if she'll take it." He looked down at his daughter and waited. Lila looked out at the hundreds of people that she could very possibly be ruling over in just a few short days. Will smiled at her, and wrapped an encouraging arm around her shoulders.

"I didn't want it, Father. You knew that." Lila said, shooting a look up at her father. But that look turned into a slow smile, as she said, "I've given it some thought, and..." She paused for a moment. Neptune was waiting with a hopeful look in his eyes. Will rubbed her shoulder and whispered, "You don't have to do anything you don't want to, love."

"I know." She said, with a smile. Then to the people and her father, she said, "I accept the crown." Neptune smiled at his daughter, and brought her into a hug as he whispered, "You'll make your mother proud." That made Lila smile too as she wrapped her arms tightly around her father once more, smiling more than she had since she found out...

...when to tell him about the baby? Well, she thought that there was plenty of time to figure those things out. Right now, she had to worry about being inaugurated. Not to mention she and Will still had to plan their wedding...and she was going to have to rule her own kingdom soon enought. But when she looked over at Will, she knew all of those things were going to work themselves out. Will was going to stand beside her no matter what. Pirate though he was, he was a good man.

Speaking of which...

She turned to find Jack, but he was already occupied with Saphira. Rolling her jade eyes, she turned back to her prince and smiled up at him. He wrapped his arms around her and said, "Are you scared, Princess?" She smiled up at him and kissed him for her answer.

"Not anymore. I'm going to be queen. I need to face these sorts of things."

"You'll make a fine queen, Lala." Jack said, coming to stand beside her. Jack and Saphira were standing beside Will and Lila as they stared at the horizon. Now that the smoke was parting, you could see the sun setting in the water. Lila looked down at the reflection of it in the water to see that the reflection showed just that. Nothing else like it had been for weeks. It was setting. She smiled as she laid her head on Will's chest, feeling his strong arms wrap around her. Everything, for the time being, was perfect.

Lila glanced over at Jack. Something must have passed between Saphira and Will, because Will kissed Lila briefly, and then Saphira and Will walked off of the deck, leaving Lila and Jack alone. Lila smiled up at the man that almost died for her and said, "You know what?"

"What, dearie?" Jack said, shooting her a grin.

She walked over to him and said, "You didn't have to do that for me, Jack. You're a good man, Sparrow. You really are."

A chucke escaped Jack's lips as he turned to face that girl that years ago he would have died for. As a matter of fact, he still would be. But he didn't love her like that anymore. She was happy with Will, he was happy with Saphira. But he would always love Lila. He smiled down at her and said, "You know what, love?"

She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He smiled as he wrapped his own arms around her and rested his head on hers. She smiled and looked up at him as she asked, "What, Jack?"

He grinned even wider as he looked out to the horizon once more as he said, "I love those moments."
Lila laughed, causing Jack to smile as she said, "Yes, because you love to wave at them as they pass by..."

"...I love those moments..."
