Time To See You

In his head he understood - he'd been there, done that. He himself had watched time pass by slowly - ticking onward in that terribly resolute way. There had been those times when in the blacksmith's shop, the afternoons had seemed so long. Thinking about Elizabeth - how far away and unreachable she was hadn't helped then...

And it doesn't really help now, he mused with a wry twist to his lips.

Keeping a small, handcrafted silver watch on hand didn't help things either... Opening it again, to watch the minute hand take it's course across the face, Will Turner, now Captain of the Flying Dutchman, couldn't help but sigh.

He understood time, had experienced it's torments and capricious nature - fast, then slow... like the sea, he thought whimsically.

"Looking at it won't make it go any faster," his father's deep voice said from behind him, rough with amusement at his excited son.

Will shut the watch with a quick snap.

"I can't wait," he said, dipping his head with a blush.

"I know."

"It's been ten years!"

"I know."

"I've been worried..."

"I know."

"You can stop saying that..."

"Sure. Felt stupid anyway," Bootstrap Bill chuckled as he settled his elbows comfortably next to his captain on the ship's rail.

"In an hour..."

"Hm."

In an hour, he'd see what ten years had done to her. The last time he'd come into harbour, she'd been the same. Older, quieter and - deep in her eyes - still mischievious. Will had been relieved - and more than overjoyed to be reunited with his beloved - and his new son... William...

Now she'd be much older. Deep in his heart...

But no. He'd not think on it. She would NOT have forgotten him. Not forgotten it.

So here he was, awaiting that moment...

When from a flash of green on a sunrise, he'd find that place once more...

He did. Home was still there in thinner hands, older eyes and grey-flecked hair. She smiled and threw her arms around him.

"Welcome back, Will."

He shut his eyes - and saw her again - as nothing but his precious Pirate Queen.
