"This is wonderful news." Will said.
"Yes, wonderful news." I replied, accepting the kiss Will offered me. I turned to walk back to my cabin and was aware of Will following me.
"Cia, I would like to apologize for what I did to you." He said, opening the door to my cabin and following me in.
"It's all right, Will. I forgive you." I sat on the bed. "I'm sorry you have to be here on the Dutchman. I'm sorry you can't be with Elizabeth."
"I do not want to be anywhere else." Will said, looking in the distance.
"Yes, you do." I placed a hand on Will's hand. "I can release you, William, if you truly love Elizabeth."
"My duty belongs to you now, Cia Turner."
He kissed me again and stopped when he heard a knock on the door.
"Enter." He said. Jack walked in.
"Pardon me for interrupting, Captain Turner, but there is a gentleman in the brig wanting to speak with you."
"Beckett!" I had forgotten about him.
"He can stay in the brig for now, Master Sparrow." Will said. "Leave us."
"Aye, sir." Jack looked at me.
As Jack closed the door, I stood by a chair. "Will, since I am the sea, the pregnancy doesn't last as long as a normal one would."
"How long does it last?"
"A few weeks." I smiled. "Then we'll have a tiny Turner running around the deck."
"Yes, we will."
The weeks passed and soon I was in a full pregnancy. I was moody, more than usual anyway, and I suffered from morning sickness even though I never showed it. When time came for the baby to be born. I screamed in labor pains as it was born. After hours in labor and Will holding my hand, I delivered a baby girl. We named her Calypso.
I slept for hours after Calypso's birth and I deserved it. I had distirbing dreams, dreams which I found ways to bring my father back. I snuck down into his cabin in the middle of the night to where his body had been preserved. I held the necklace Tia Dalma had given me and remembered what she had told me.
"It has yer father's blood in it." She had said.
I took the locket and opened it, a small pool of blood in it. I cut my father's tentacle hand and poured the blood in it. I saw words enscribed on the back and I read them.
"Wake, my father, from your eternal sleep." I said, closing my eyes. I laid my hands on his chest and felt for the breathing. Suddenly my eyes flew open as I felt the steady breaths.
My father's eyes opened slowly as I smiled. "You're alive."
"Aye. I'm alive." He sat up.
"It's Tia Dalma's doing." I said, helping him.
"Calypso." The word was whispered and my father had pain in his eyes.
"No, not Calypso, Tia Dalma." I put my hand on his heart-or where his heart should have been and was surprised to feel a beat: then another and another. My eyes opened wider.
"Calypso did this to me." Davy said.
"Rest now, my father." I helped him to his organ as he asked me to. Soon the ship was filled with the music. Will came down to see who was playing and was surprised when he saw Davy Jones sitting at his organ playing.
"What is going on here, Cia?" Will asked me.
"He's alive. His heart is back in his chest. Here." I put my hand on Will's scar. "He's free. He can go back to land and stay there. With my mother."
I heard Calypso crying and I think my father did too. "Who is that?" He asked.
"It's Calypso, our daughter." Will said.
"Aye." I said turning to the door. "I'll be back in a moment."
I left and returned carrying Calypso. My father took her from me, and opened his locket with his tentacle beard, the music drifting through the cabin. Tia Dalma entered upon hearing the music. My father stiffened when he saw her.
"Davy Jones." Tia said.
"Calypso." My father said simply. "You're back."
I stood on deck, having taken Calypso Turner from my father when Tia entered. I stood on the rail, feeling the crisp breeze that blew.
"Halloween's coming soon, my love." I told Calypso.
She just giggled and snorted.
"Do you want to see Halloween Town, my darling?" I asked her. "Do you?"
"H-Halloween Town." Calypso giggled again.
"Fine. We'll go. WILL!" I shouted.
"Aye, Cia?" Will asked coming on deck.
"I'm going to take Calypso to Halloween Town. It's almost Halloween, you know."
"Yes, I know." Will smiled. "I shall come with you. It'll be my only time on land in ten years."
"Aye. I know it well."
**
In Halloween Town, Chris was preparing for Halloween. He finalized plans with the Mayor and continued to work without thinking of me. Every once in a while, he would look out to the sea, thinking he was going to go back to the Dutchman and find me. Now, he was the Pumpkin King, having been coronated last week. A bride had been found for him, rather made for him, by Dr. Finklestein.
"Why must I be married?" Chris had asked.
"You will do much better with a sensible girl by your side." Jack had said. "If I had Sally by my side when I was thinking about Christmas, the incident would never have happened."
The conversation had ended there and now his wife was helping him prepare for Halloween. She was 5'6'', black eyes, black hair and very pale skin. Nobody asked where Dr. Finklestein had gotten the parts for her, and nobody really wanted to know.
"What's the matter, Christopher?" She asked, walking in the room.
"Nothing, October." Chris said, sighing. "I'm just finalizing plans for Halloween. It is coming soon, you know."
"Of course."
Just then Barrel came running through the door. "Chris! There are strangers in town! A family! A man, a woman, and a baby! I think it's Cia! Come on!"
Chris followed Barrel to the fountain where I stood with Will. I was showing Will the town and Calypso was giggling as Will splashed her with the water from the fountain. He took Calypso from me and tickled her. Will had dressed in his best Captain suit, me in my green dress, and Calypso in a small shirt, brown pants, and black boots. I heard someone clear their throats and turned to see Chris and Barrel.
"Hello." I said, cheerfully.
"Hi, Cia." Barrel replied, hugging me. "It's been a long time."
"Almost a whole year." I reminded him. "This is my husband, Captain William Turner, and my daughter, Calypso Turner."
"I remember Captain Turner," Chris said. "Cia, what is your purpose here?"
"I'm here to show my family around and because it's almost Halloween. I also came to see you, Pumpkin Prince."
"I am the Pumpkin King now, Cia." Chris stiffened. "Can we talk, please?"
"Of course." I turned to Will and kissed him. "Keep Calypso safe, okay?"
"Very well." Will said, returning my kiss.
"Bye Mommy!" Calypso said, waving.
I walked with Chris to Spiral Hill. "What did you want to speak with me about?"
"I am married now."
"Congratulations. I am too, unhappily or happily."
"Which is it?"
"That depends on William's mood." I smiled. "If he is having a bad day, a bit unhappy."
"Cia, why did you send me back here?" Chris asked. "We could have been married and that could have been my daughter."
"Chris, you need to let it go. I don't love you and I'm not sure I ever did. I've always loved Jack Sparrow, until he stopped loving me. Will cares about me and our daughter."
I turned around and walked back-or at least tried to.
"Cia, you felt something for me, or else you wouldn't have told me you loved me."
"I told you, I was never sure if I was in love with you. I am different now. My heart and loyalty are in two places, so therefore I must follow my loyalties."
"Who holds your heart, Cia? Turner or Sparrow?"
"I don't know! Chris can you stop? You're married now, your wife will keep you happy. Just leave me alone! Stop treating me like I belong to you!"
"You did once! You belonged to me once, and pledged to stay with me."
"My father wishes me to stay with Will! I have to obey his wishes!"
"How can you follow what you know to be wrong?" Chris took my arm as I turned from him. "Or are you scared to think for yourself?"
He grabbed me roughly and kissed me. I pushed him away and walked angrily away, bumping into Will and Calypso. I smiled as I took Calypso. I looked over my shoulder and saw Chris watching me and Will. I turned back to Will and kissed him passionately.
Chris stormed off. I heard muttering in the distance. We walked back to town and checked into the Halloween Hotel. We could only stay for a few hours and Calypso needed to nap. Will and I put her in the bed then locked the door and left the hotel to walk around. I left the Bosun with her to protect her. We watched the crowd head to the Town Hall and followed them, standing in the back.
Chris walked to the platform and spoke.
"Citizens as you are aware, Halloween is next week. We all need to be at our scariest to achieve the best Halloween we can."
"Hear hear!" A citizen cried.
"Thank you." Chris said as everyone laughed. "I'm sure we will all do well this year and I will lead you as the Pumpkin King."
Everyone cheered as Will and I looked at each other. I smiled and whispered, "Shall I give them an early taste of a Halloween at sea?"
Will nodded and smiled back. Chris had a glass of water on the podium beside him and as he lifted it, I made the water fly out of the glass and float around the room, much to Will's amusement. Then I made it go back in the glass and we were about to leave when I heard a familiar baby's cry.
"Does this baby belong to anyone here?" A man's voice said, holding Calypso.
I started to move but Will held me back. The man was very tall, had dark hair and eyes, and had a cutlass in his belt. Calylpso cried more and shouted for me and Will. Chris walked to the man and took Calypso from him.
"I'll take her," Chris said. "State your business."
"I'm here for William and Cia Turner. They owe me something."
"What would that be?" Chris asked, rubbing Calypso's arm.
"Their lives." The man turned to leave.
"You can leave." Chris said to the townspeople.
Everyone murmured as they left and Will and I stayed in the shadows as they left. Chris took Calypso to his home, followed closely by Will and me. As Chris walked up the stairs, Jack met him at the door.
"Who is this darling?" Jack asked as he took Calypso from Chris.
"She is Cia's daughter," Chris answered, deep in thought. "I don't know her name."
"We can't just call her girl," Sally said, coming behind Jack. "We can call her Elizabeth."
I started to go up the stairs as the door was closed behind them. Will stopped me by grabbing my arm.
"We should let them have her," He said. "With that man coming after us, perhaps it would be best."
"Will, she's my baby." I replied with tears in my eyes.
"She was our baby," Will took me in my arms. "I'll miss her too, Cia, but it's probably better."
He kissed me softly as I heard the door open and Jack walked out. Will and I hid in the shadow of the stone wall as Jack walked past.
"Take care of my daughter." I whispered, crying quietly. "Take care of her."
Will and I went back to the Dutchman. When we got there, I shut myself in my cabin and didn't come out when my father knocked on the door. Jack Sparrow picked the lock on my door and asked me what was wrong. I told him the whole story of what happened when Will and I went to Halloween Town.
"I'm going to release William," I said. "I'm going to release him from the Dutchman and let him go to Elizabeth."
"What will you do then, love?" Jack asked me.
"I'm going to do the job my father was assigned. I'm going to ferry the souls of others to the land beyond."
"Will you let me be the one who takes the place of William?" Jack asked me.
"Perhaps, Jack." I looked out the window. "I'm going back to get Calypso."
"You can't." Will said walking in. He was followed by Elizabeth.
"Will, let me see your dagger." He handed it to me and I cut my hand and his. "Will, I set you free from the Dutchman. I'll take your place as Captain. You can be with Elizabeth, now."
I started to drop blood into his wound but he pulled his hand away.
"We have made our goodbyes," Will said, motioning to Elizabeth.
"You love Elizabeth, be with her." I put blood into Will's cut and the scar on his chest healed. "You're free from the Dutchman, William Turner, and free from the bond of marriage with me."
"Thank you, Cia." Will said.
"You're welcome."
*******
16 years passed and I never saw Will, Elizabeth or Calypso again. Jack and I were married by my father, who then was set free of the Dutchman to be with Tia Dalma. Jack Sparrow and I never aged and Lydia grew into one of the greatest Pirates ever.
Jack and I went back to Halloween town to find Calypso had grown into a beautiful young girl with dark hair. She looked more like Will than me. Calypso and I bumped into each other one day and I helped her pick up the packages she was carrying.
"I'm terribly sorry." I said.
"It's all my fault." Calypso replied. "Oh, you're bleeding."
My hand had landed on my dagger and Jack helped me up. "I'm fine, really."
"I'm Elizabeth Skellington." Calypso said.
"Elizabeth, I'm Cia." I poked Jack. "This is Jack Sparrow."
"Come home with me. " Calypso said. "My mother can fix your hand."
"Who's your mother?" I asked following her.
"Sally Skellington." We walked up the stairs to her home.
"Mother! I'm home!" Calypso said as she walked in.
"She's not here." Chris came down the stairs. He looked a lot like Jack Skellington. He noticed Jack and me. "Cia? Cia Jones, is that you?"
"You know her, Chris?" Calypso asked him. To us, she said, "This is my brother, Christopher Skellington."
"I know who he is," My voice was bitter. "How are you, Chris? Find anymore children?"
"What is my business to you, Cia? You walked out of my life a long time ago."
"Yes, right after you took Elizabeth."
"Me?" Calypso asked.
"Aye, you." Jack Sparrow said. "You're the daughter of a Pirate."
