Elizabeth's heart was beating fast as she walked through the meadow. Her son wandered ahead and stopped at the end of the land, looking off at the coast. Elizabeth smiled to herself as he softly sang a tune about pirates, which she taught him, of course. She stopped beside him, staring out at the sun, setting over the sea. Her heart leaped as there was a small explosion of green light in the distance and the Flying Dutchman appeared, sailing towards them. Elizabeth's heart leaped with joy.

She peered down at her son, who was grinning as his father sailed towards them. He had stopped singing, his mouth hung open slightly, as in awe. As the ship got closer, Elizabeth could see the familiar figure of her beloved. She smiled to herself and a tear trickled down her pale cheek. She turned away and started walking down towards the water. Elizabeth called back to her son.

"Come on William! Come meet your father!" She looked down at the water and saw her husband running towards her, the ship placed on the shore. Elizabeth gathered her skirts and ran to him. When he reached her, Will Turner grabbed his wife and hoisted her up in the air, spinning around as he held her. Elizabeth shrieked with excitement and wrapped her arms around his tan neck when Will lowered her. He turned his head to look at a browned-headed boy who stood before him, beaming, but looking rather shy at his father. Will stared at the boy.

"That's your son, William." Elizabeth whispered, smiling greatly as Will's face turned to awe. The small figure standing before him brought tears to his eyes. He broke away from Elizabeth and walked to William, kneeling before him.

"H-Hello, Father." William stuttered. His father was everything he dreamed he would be.

"Hello….Son." A tear rolled down Will's cheek. What a beautiful son he had! His long, dark hair reminded him of his own. Will removed the black hat from his child's head and ruffled his hair with one of his grimy hands. William giggled, while Elizabeth watched, while shedding tears of pure joy. For a day, they would be together. For a day, they would be a family.
