It's a dark and stormy night in the port city of Port Royal. Inside a small house, lit only by candles and the lighting outside, "Bootstrap" Bill Turner is pacing outside a shut door, while his 11 year old grandson, also named William, is asleep on the couch. That night was a very special night for Elizabeth was about to give birth to the newest addition to the Turner household. Since Will couldn't step foot on land for another 9 years his father had gone in his place and he was as nervous as Will back on the Flying Dutchman.

"What's taking so long?" Bill said to himself impatiently.

"Will!!!" Elizabeth screamed causing Bill to tense up.

Estrella comes out to only to come face to face with a worried Bill.

"Everything is fine Mr. Turner…" she said calmly.

Bill gets a relieved/happy/panicked look on his face.

"Don't worry, sir." she said, "Your new grandchild should be here any minute."

Bill nods and she reenters the room.

"Is the baby here yet?" the boy asked sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"No, William." Bill said coming over and sitting down beside him, "This kind of thing takes time. It could be a while longer. I'll sit with you if you'd like."

The young boy nods his head. About an hour or so later, a nurse emerges from the room.

"Congratulations, Master Turner…" the nurse said, "You're a big brother. You have two beautiful new siblings."

"Twins…" William said excitedly.

"You can go see them now if you'd like." the nurse replied smiling at the young boy.

The boy nods excitedly and goes inside his mother's room followed by his grandfather. Inside, Elizabeth is lying in an oversized bed, while the newest additions to the Turner household are in a bassinet beside them. When she sees her young William, she gives them a weak smile.

"Hello there." Elizabeth said weakly.

William walks over to the bed and sits down beside his mother.

"Will sends his love, Elizabeth." Bill said as he walked up to her bedside.

"Thank you, Bill." Elizabeth returned smiling.

Bill gives her a kiss on the cheek and then looks down at his new grandchildren in the bassinet. Young William lets one of the babies grab his pointer finger and put it in their mouth, this causes him to smile. After spending some time with his new grandchildren, Bill returns to the Dutchman where he is met by Will.

"How is she?" he asked, "Is the baby ok?"

"Everyone is fine…" Bill reassured him, "There are 20 fingers and 20 toes."

"You mean twins?" Will asked confused, "She had twins."

"Aye and they're beautiful…" Bill said smiling.

"I wish I could be here to see them grow up." Will admits sadly.

"Will, you have a more important job." Bill told him putting his hand on his shoulder, "And they will know that. Besides they will have an important job too, protecting the chest."

Will gives him a reluctant smile and nods.

Jump to 17 years later… Outside the Turner home, William and his two younger siblings, who appear to be young men, are in a swordfight. All three of the young Turners are very good with a sword, but one is clearly better then the others. Just as the better sibling knocks the sword out of their twin's hand and turns on their older brother, Elizabeth steps out of the house.

"What have I told you three about sword fighting?" Elizabeth asked.

"I win again." Annabelle said smiling.

The teen removes her hat allowing her long golden brown hair to fall down her back; she is clearly a beautiful young woman, who looks a lot like her mother.

"No fair… You cheated." Edward complained while removing his hat.

"Did not… I'm just clearly much better than you are." Annabelle replied.

"Children, you need to go get dressed for dinner. We have to be at the Governor's mansion in less then an hour." Elizabeth said interrupting their argument.

The twins nod, and run inside still arguing over who is better. Elizabeth stops William before he can go inside.

"I wish you wouldn't encourage them like you do, William." Elizabeth said to him.

"You know we're always careful, mother…" William said trying to reassure her, "Besides as I recall someone else is pretty good with a sword."

William holds out his sword to his mother, who blushes and smiles.

"William…" Elizabeth said, "Come on, go get ready or we'll be late."

William nods.

"Besides it's not like there are any pirates left…" William said as he went into the house, "Lord Beckett took care of them years ago."

"Yes, but Jack is still out there somewhere." Elizabeth said to herself while looking out to sea then goes back into the house.

Elizabeth stands in front of the fireplace and looks at the family portrait hanging above it. In the portrait, she is sitting in a chair while her three children stand behind her. In her lap is the Dead Man's chest which holds Will's heart. She gently kisses her fingers and places them on the chest, trying to hold back her tears. She then picks up a small box off the mantel and walks to Annabelle's room, where she is just finishing getting ready. She has her hair in curls on her head and is wearing a new dress her mother got her for her 17th birthday, which was a few days ago.

"You look beautiful." Elizabeth said as she entered.

"Thank you, mother." she replied politely.

"Your birthday gift from your father arrived today." Elizabeth told her daughter.

She holds out the small water-logged box, which Annabelle excitedly takes. Upon opening it, she pulls out a beautiful gold chain with a key on it.

"Your father said that he wanted his little girl to hold the key to his heart." Elizabeth told her.

"Is this the key to…?" Annabelle started.

Elizabeth nods and smiles, this makes Annabelle smile too. She quickly puts the chain around her neck and looks in the mirror.

"It will never leave my neck." she said proudly, "He has my promise."

Once everyone is ready, the Turners get into an awaiting carriage and make their way to the Governor's mansion. Once there, they are greeted by Governor Henry Norrington, James Norrington's brother who was appointed to the position after Governor Swann's murder. His son, Rodger, who is also an Admiral in the Royal Navy, comes up to Annabelle, takes her hand, bows, and kisses it.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Turner." Rodger said.

Annabelle quickly draws her hand away in disgust but gives him a reluctant smirk.

"Well, shall we go and eat?" Governor Norrington asked his guests.

The group makes their way into the dinning room. Once they are seated, servants bring them their plates of food. Governor Norrington clears his throat and stands up, his guests look at him.

"I'd like to make an announcement…" he said rather loudly, "Rodger has found his wife… Miss Annabelle."

"What?" Elizabeth and Annabelle said in shock.

William and Edward laugh causing them to get dirty looks.

"Henry, I don't…" Elizabeth started.

"NO!!!" Annabelle yelled standing up.

"But my dear." Governor Norrington calmly told her.

Annabelle runs off, after leaving the mansion she heads to her favorite spot on the beach. There she breaks down into tears, and doesn't notice that her brother has found her.

"Care to talk about it?" William asked his sister.

"I'm not going to marry him." Annabelle replied.

"I know Bella, but maybe you should think about it." William told her.

"But why Rodger Norrington?" Annabelle asked, "He wouldn't make a rock a suitable husband."

"True…" William returned laughing.

"Will, I want to marry for love not because it's the proper thing to do." Annabelle said.

"I know, just give him a chance. It may turn into something." William returned, "Now let's get back to the Governor's mansion, have a civilized meal and get home as quickly as possible."

"Ok." Annabelle replied.

Annabelle smiles and William gives her a hug. They stand up, brush themselves off and head back to the Governor's mansion. When they arrive back, Elizabeth runs up to them and hugs Annabelle.

"Oh, thank goodness, you're ok." Elizabeth said while she embraced her.

"I'm sorry, mother." Annabelle apologized.

"Well, you're going to be a bit of a handful, I see." Rodger said jokingly.

Annabelle glares at him.

"Not if I have any say about it." Annabelle said under her breath.

"Well, shall we attempt to eat again?" the Governor asked.

They return to the dinning room and once again sit down. Annabelle stays quiet most of the meal and Rodger talks about his so called adventures. Annabelle gazes out the huge bay windows that overlook the ocean, daydreaming. Longing for adventure and the freedom that the sea offers.
