Disclaimer: I don’t own the characters. If I did, the story would have been very different.
Characters: William the 3rd, Bootstrap, crew of the Dutchman, Will, Elizabeth, Davy Jones.
Rating: PG
Summary: Bootstrap Bill Turner did not expect to have to deal with his grandson. Bootstrap also didn’t think he could have a six year old grandson when his son (who he hadn’t seen in nearly five years) was only sixteen!

56. Plans
Will held William tight as he stepped away from the crew. “Is Mum mad at me?” William asked.
Will smiled. “No, your Mum isn’t mad at you. But I suspect that Ishkur is in for a bad time. I understand your mother is collecting nine pieces.”
William’s eyes widened- so did Jones’. Will smiled coldly at Jones. “Yes, we do know how to do it.”
“How do ye know of such things?” Jones demanded.
“My wife is part of the Brethren Court. So am I, when it comes down to it. How do you think we learned it?” Will scowled.
57. Questions
Will shifted his grip on William. “We’re almost out of time,” he said.
“Aye, Da.”
Bootstrap sighed. “Will…” he trailed off.
Will smiled sadly. “Don’t worry, Father. Things do work out in the end.”
“Can you answer a question?”
“I’ll try.”
“Uncle Hector, Will?”
Amazingly, Will laughed. “He performed the wedding ceremony- which was… rather different then planned.”
Will sighed. “It’s time. Don’t worry, father. You’ll understand in time.”
Will stepped back. “Whatever happens, William, don’t let go.”
“Aye, Da. I won’t.”
A wave swamped the Dutchman yet again. This time, when it was gone, so were Will and William.
58. Reunions
It was quieter on the Dutchman now. There was no child rushing about, getting into everything.
Bootstrap was the one most affected by the events, but even he recovered eventually.
In time, most of the crew forgot the events, or at least didn’t think about them any longer.
Bootstrap was forcibly reminded when he saw a face he could never forget.
Younger, and without the aura of command he’d eventually have. But there was only one person the other man could be. He couldn’t let the Boson hurt him. And he had to tell the Captain why.
“He’s my son.”
59. Potential
Finally, Davy figured out where he’d seen the mortal before. It was Turner’s son, the man who’d collected William some time ago.
But right now, the mortal was… not what he had been, not what he would become. His power was still potential. That had been the reason Davy hadn’t recognized him at first.
Will Turner tumbled down the stairs, and Bootstrap hurried to help him.
Davy watched them for a moment, until Will Turner was steadier on his feet and they headed below deck. Will Turner was not yet the threat he could become. Perhaps he never would be.
60. Side Glances
Will wasn’t sure what the crew was whispering about, but he’d heard both his full name and simply “Will”.
He didn’t care to ask why. But he’d caught most of the crewmen staring at him. And even Captain Jones watched him at times.
Will sighed and continued to watch the game a few of the crewmen were playing. He had more important things to worry about, then the fact that the crew of the Flying Dutchman knew him.
It could just be because he was mortal.
“Wondering how it’s played?” his father asked, referring to the game they were watching.
~~~~~~~~~~~
As you can see, I wanted to show how the little trip to the past has affected things. And, in the end, it only made it so that the events of canon could happen. After all, that’s one explanation for how Bill recognized his son after not seeing him for at least eleven years.
Two more parts left!
However, I am going to be out of town this weekend, and I have no idea if I’ll have internet access, so I will not be posting the next part until next Monday. Sorry folks. But I will post again on Monday.
