Epilogue:

For the first time in years I took my first steps onto my new ship. I grinned and then whispered "Hello, beauty". I then put on my old hat and smiled. I really started to feel like a Captain again, and that thought brought another smile to my face. I then began walking to the steering wheel, and once I had reached it I felt my hand grasp it around its wood. I then whispered to no one in particular "I think we need a name for you, luv".

I looked out into the ocean, and for the next few seconds I began to think of a suitable name. I then began rubbing the steering wheel and then whispered once more "How about we call you the Royal Adventure, eh?" I then took a few steps towards the dock, and then I shouted out "Raise the sails, you dirty scallywags!" I smiled as no one responded and then made my way off the ship and onto the dock.

I felt someone bump into to me, so I looked down and saw a little boy who looked about 3 years old in front of me. I then bent down and asked him "Now where do you think your going mate?" The little boy then replied "The Ship, The ship!" I smiled and then picked him up and held him in my arms and then said "Alright, Teague. Now let me guess, your brilliantly insatiable mother decided this?"

I heard a woman's voice behind me then say "Jack, you forgot beautiful." I smiled and then turned around realizing that it was my wife Elizabeth. I then kissed her and then responded "No need to state the obvious, luv". The little boy then whispered, "Daddy, am I finally aloud to go on a ship?" I nodded and then Teague asked to be put down on the dock so I put him down and then he ran right onto the ship and then grabbed the steering wheel.

He then yelled "Look Daddy. I'm like you! I'm a pirate, I'm a pirate!" I put my arm around Elizabeth and then whispered "Yes he is". She smiled and then said "Are you sure you want to leave this place?" I guided her onto the ship while replying "Aye, luv. The sea is my home; there is no other place that I would rather be. How about you, deary?" Elizabeth then replied, "I couldn't agree more with you, Captain Sparrow".

I grinned as she said that, she hadn't called me that since we first got married. I looked at my left hand and examined my wedding ring, and I had realized that it was already 5 years since then, and three years since I had last been at sea. I then grabbed Teague and put him on my shoulders while saying "Now your going to be the Captains first mate for the next few weeks." Teague gasped excitedly then said "Yay! I am".

I then looked up at him and then said; "Now that's not how we answer a Captain. Let me hear it, son". Teague then shouted "Aye, Aye. Captain!" I smiled and so did Elizabeth taking my son of my shoulders. She then put him on the deck and watched him run around the ship. I then warned "Be careful mate, you wouldn't want to get hurt, now would you son? (Pause) Now, Teague, if a man comes up to you and asks your name. What do you tell him mate?"

Teague then replied, "I'm first mate Teague Sparrow." I nodded then said "Maybe someday you can be Captain, son." He grinned then went off to running around on the ship. Elizabeth then put her arms around me and said "He's going to be exactly like you when he's older." I then kissed her lightly then asked "Is that a bad thing, luv?" I watched Elizabeth grin and then she said "No, not really Jack. But he is going to break a lot of hearts".

I laughed and then kissed my wife once more and this time it lasted longer. I then whispered into her ear "I love you, Lizzie". She smiled at me and then whispered "I love you too Jack". About a second later a crack was heard. I turned around sharply and noticed that Teague had just broken a bottle of rum. He was shrugging his shoulders, and I gasped and walked up to him while saying "Now, Teague. What have I told you about Daddies rum? Don't play with it, and don't waste it."

Teague looked down at the floor sadly, and then I smiled and said; "Now I've got to find someone to clean this mess up". I then heard a voice say, "I can do it for ye Captain". I turned around and saw Gibbs there and I smiled "Alright, mate. That is the last thing you can do for me before we say Goodbye". Gibbs nodded, and then said, "Just make sure you don't injure yourself Captain. It would be wise to not dawdle on the sea now with her currents. Especially when you know who's still searching for ye".

I then dismissed Teague and told him to go play with the steering wheel. I then asked Gibbs seriously "Aye. Mate. But do ye know where he is?" Gibbs then began cleaning the rum off the floor and then he whispered sadly "He could be anywhere, Captain. He's the sea".

I nodded then said "Gibbs, no need to call me Captain, besides I no longer am your Captain." Gibbs nodded then stood up while saying "I know sir. But old habits die hard".
I nodded while walking away from him and then made my way around the ship looking if its sails had been tightened. As I examined the sails I thought about my father and how he died, and how my father was the one that made me realize I was in love.

I grinned as I watched Lizzie kiss Teague on the forehead, and then I remembered that maybe when Teague is older I will be the one that makes him realize that he is in love, and maybe I will be the one to change his life for the better just like my father did to mine.

I grabbed Elizabeth in for one more kiss, and she accepted it. After a few seconds she broke away while asking "What was that for Captain?" I then smiled and said "Nothing, luv. Just make sure you meet me later in my cabin. With hopefully a dress or nothing, and seeing that your wearing pants, and me knowing that I happen to have no dress in my cabin, you have no choice but to wear nothing at all, which I happen not to argue against". Elizabeth chuckled then kissed me once more while saying "I'm glad I married you Jack". I nodded then said, "Couldn't agree more deary".

I then took the anchor out of the water and got ready to set sail. Before Gibbs left he asked me "Captain, if I were to write you a letter. What would be the address?" I then looked over at Elizabeth while replying "The Sea".

I then waved goodbye to Gibbs and he nodded while leaving the ship. The ship then left the port and sailed off into the ocean. I then began steering towards the east and then Teague ran to me, and I picked him up and held him in my arms. Elizabeth then walked towards me while saying "So how about a song Captain?" I nodded then asked "A song? (Pause) Aye. Well, Teague you want to learn a pirate song?"

Teague nodded as Elizabeth and I began to sing

"Drink up me hearties yo ho
We're devils and black sheep - really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties yo ho
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me".

Teague then began to sing along, and I told Elizabeth to take the wheel as I took a few steps towards the edge of the ship. I then took out my rum bottle and took a sip then said, "This is for you William Turner". I then took the rest of the bottle then dropped it into the ocean while saying "For you Dad."
