Andromeda's POV

"And you are sure about this? There is no mistake?" I ask the doctor of ship wreck cove.

"Aye mame, no mistake. You are pregnant" he tells me. I place my hands on my stomach trying not to cry. "Are you ok?" he asks me.

"I just have another reason to kill Beckett tomorrow" I tell him.

"No, mame it is to dangerous. If you get hit in the stomach to hard you could lose the baby. Best you stay here where it is safe" he tells me.

"I appreciate your concern, but my baby and I will be fine" I assure him. "Tell no one of this" I tell him. Then leave the room and run into Teague. "Captain Teague, how much did you hear?" I ask him.

"Enough, walk with me dear" he says and sets off down the hall. I follow him as I fall into step with him. "I won't try to stop you tomorrow, but I ask that you stay on the Pearl during the battle" he tells me.

"But what if my sister leaves the ship? I won't leave her unprotected" I tell him.

"She is a captain now, she can take care of herself" he assures me. "I know about your father and can guess about what happened to your child's father. But do not let anger cloud your judgement. Do not act without thinking or you may lose your baby and your life tomorrow. Promise me you will stay close to Hector tomorrow" he says.

"I promise" I tell him honestly.

"Good, so where will you go once Beckett is dead?" he asks me.

"Back to Port Royal with Elizabeth and Will. Live and raise my child on land" I state.

"I am glad, I am sorry about what happened to your crew and ship. I knew some of your men, they were good pirates. I pray Jones is also brought to justice tomorrow" he tells me.

"But then whoever stabs the heart would have to become captain of the Dutchman and sail the sea forever" I tell him.

"I know, I just pray it won't be Jackie" he tells me. "Go now, rest" he adds. "Your sister is in your room waiting" he states. I nod and hug him before going to my room.

(Next day aboard the Black Pearl)

I stayed on the ship while Barbossa, Jack and Elizabeth went to speak to Beckett along with Jones. When Barbossa and Elizabeth come back with Will. Calypso (Tia Dalma) is brought above deck tied up. Barbossa takes Elizabeth's piece of eight and places it in the a bowl with the other pieces of eight.

"Be there some sort of rite or incantation?" Gibbs ask Barbossa.

"Aye. Items to be brought together... done. Items to be burned. And someone must speak the words, 'Calypso, I release you from your human bonds'" Barbossa explains.

"That's it?" I ask him curious.

"It was said it must be spoken as if to a lover" he states. I giggle as the crew laughs. This should be entertaining. "Calypso, I release you from your human bonds" he says loudly attempting to lit the pieces of eight on fire. But nothing happens.

"Is that it?" Pintel asks confused.

"He didn't say it right, you gotta say it right" Ragetti states.

"Calypso, I release you from your human bonds" I whisper in her ear while the crew is distracted. The bowl levitates and the items catch fire. I smile smugly.

Will steps forward calling Calypso's name as the bowl drops to the deck. "When the Brethren Court first imprisoned you, who was it that told them how? Who was it that betrayed you?" Will asks her.

"Name him" she tells him.

"Davy Jones" he says. Tia starts to blow up as if attached to an air hose. She towers off us and we bow to her.

"Calypso, I come before you as a servant, humble and contrite. I have fulfilled me vow, and now ask your favor. Spare meself, me ship, me crew, but unleash your fury upon those who dare pretend themselves your masters, or mine" Barbossa tells her.

"My fishes!" she shouts. Then shouts some unintelligible words. She turns into a bunch of crabs that fall overboard. Elizabeth then gives an inspirational speech and the flags a hoisted.

The pearl sails forward to meet the Dutchman head on. We enter a maelstrom with Barbossa at the wheel. I stay close to him as I promised Teague. While Elizabeth stays close to Will. Which I am thankful for, he'd die before he let anything happen to her. The battle begins as it starts to rain.

We shoot cannon balls at each other. EITC soldiers and pirates from Jones crew swing onto our ship. Which is when the real fighting began. Barbossa and I watch each others back. "Barbossa, marry us!" Elizabeth shouts.

"He's a little busy at the moment!" I shout back as he fights to EITC soldiers.

"Barbossa now!" Will shouts.

"Fine then" he growls as he kills both soldiers. "Watch my back" he tells me and starts the ceremony. I don't pay attention as the eel pirate attacks me. At first I was fine, but I start to feel light headed. I fall dropping my sword and look up at him scared.

Barbossa blocks his final blow. "Just kiss!" he shouts at Elizabeth and Will. Then beheads the eel. "Get up, there is still a fight to have" he tells me as the newly married couple kiss. I retrieve my sword and rejoin the fight. Until it was time to leave the maelstrom.

I take the wheel as Gibbs frees our mast from the Dutchman's with some help from the others. As soon as we're free I turn hard to starboard. I hold the wheel tightly in place as the maelstorm tries to drag us back in. But we escape it as Jack and Elizabeth come back aboard with Jack the monkey. Who climbs onto my shoulder.

It's decided to charge the Endevour. The Dutchman appears with Will as it's captain. We tag team and destroy the Endevour. Killing Beckett and I smile. It's finally over. James and father have been avenged. The pirates are free to continue being pirates. But Elizabeth has lost her husband to the sea. I pray they make the most of today.
