Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters other than Trent, Charlotte, Lilly, or Lucy

After returning into the house after walking Lilly to her carriage, I knew I had to stay in Port Royal and get to the bottom of what Elizabeth was hiding. I knew she was holding a secret back from me, and I think that secret just walked into our house and sat across from me drinking tea. I closed the front door and returned to the room where Elizabeth was cleaning tea up.

"Elizabeth is there something you need to tell me" I confronted her. Elizabeth froze what she was doing and quickly turned around.

"I don't know what I would need to tell you Will" she replied. She sounded so sure in her tone of voice that she had nothing to tell me.

"Are you sure? You can't tell me it's purely a coincidence that the girl that just walked into our house has the exact same birthday as our son and looks exactly like you!" I shouted back in frustration.

"I guess it just purely is" Elizabeth muttered back and turned back around to finish cleaning up the tea area. She put everything back on the tray and retreated to the kitchen. I decided to follow her; I knew she had to be lying to me and I needed answers.

"That's not Trent and Charlotte's daughter! Stop lying to me Elizabeth! You don't need to lie to me" I demanded. My face flushed red and I could feel my blood boiling as I confronted her.

"I'm not lying Will! I don't want to have this conversation. I have nothing more to say to you about Lilly. She is your niece and nothing else!" Elizabeth shouted and barged through the back door to the backyard.

There was no use in chasing her. When that woman put her mind to not saying anything you were never going to get anything useful out of her other than some smart remarks back.

What I couldn't believe was that Elizabeth would lie directly to my face; or maybe it really was my mind overthinking this and Lilly was just my niece. I just couldn't shake her face from my mind. She looked exactly like Elizabeth. When she first walked into the house I could have sworn she looked like Elizabeth when she was younger. She even acted the same way as her!

I decided that I should get some fresh air and headed out towards the town. I needed to get back to my ship to clear my head. At least aboard my ship I knew I could lie on deck and not have to think. I started to walk down the path to town.

This town still felt the same since the last time I had been here, which was ages ago. The blacksmith's shop was still there and I couldn't help but notice that Mr. Brown, the original blacksmith, didn't own the shop anymore. It was now owned by a Mr. Smith. I couldn't help but think about the time Jack and I fought each other in there and how he cheated his way to "winning".

I kept walking until I reached the dock. The smell of the sea made me smile. My ship was docked with all the other ships, but mine definitely outstood the rest of them. After my time aboard the Flying Dutchman, I was able to commandeer my own vessel with the help of an old friend and Elizabeth's influence; being a pirate queen had its perks. This ship was an old naval vessel that we had "found" and taken control of. I stepped aboard my ship and went into the captain's quarters. I collapsed in my chair, put my head on the table in front of it, and closed my eyes.

I must have dozed off because I was rudely awakened by a loud thud above me. I quickly got up from my chair and rushed out of the captain's quarters to see who was aboard my ship. I looked around the main deck and didn't see anything, but I heard talking from the quarter deck where the wheel was. I rushed up the steps to see two young men standing near the wheel.

"What are you doing aboard my ship!" I yelled as I reached the quarter deck. The two men jumped at the sound of my voice and turned around to face me.

"William?" I gasped as I looked at his face.

"Father? I didn't know you were back in town!" William gasped and ran to give me a hug.

"Ay I am back and for your birthday!" I hugged him back. "But son, who's your friend?"

Who's William's friend? And Will ever find out the truth about Lilly? Please review and let me know what you guys think of the story so far!
