Thanks to Mystery Gyrl, who gave me this chapter's idea!

Quick summary – It helps if you've read the previous two stories, 'Jack's Captives' and 'Of Relatives and Kidnapping'. But quickly, Jack kidnaps a girl (and her sister, who is no longer relevant) and rescues her from being married to Governor Swann. Then they fall in love, they find one of Jack's relatives with a grudge and they get married. Then, they kidnap Charlie (Will and Elizabeth's 1 year old son) and sail off. Now, it's the third and final story!

No one believed that Jack was paternal at all. Even he doubted his abilities, and he believed he could do anything! When Gibbs would tease Jack at the bar about someday having little ones running around, the other crewmembers (and anyone who overheard, really) would snort into the ale and laugh. So everyone though it really odd when Jack and Jen brought aboard Charlie, who everyone recognized as 'the whelp's kid'. Jack seemed delighted to have the kid on board. Charlie stood at the helm with Jack, ate every meal sitting on his lap or next to him, and even would occasionally get a sip of Jack's rum. Yes, everyone was shocked. Jen thought it was adorable. And it was. Until...the rocky shores of Tortuga slid into view.

Let's go back...shall we?

FLASH BACK

Jack swaggered along triumphantly through the streets of Tortuga like a victorious king from battle.

"Ah, Tortuga. Charlie, you payin' attention, mate?" Suddenly, Jen spoke up from behind.

"Wait...Charlie isn't up with you?" She asked, suddenly panicking. Jack whipped around, disbelief on his face.

"I thought you had him!" Jack yelped. Jen's face suddenly tensed.

"What are we going to do? We just LOST a child in Tortuga!" She shrieked. Jack covered her mouth with his hand as she continued to shriek in horror. Jack thought it over in his head.

"Think Will'll know the difference if we just give him a new kid?" He asked hopefully. Jen glared at him over his hand. Jack sighed and Jen removed his hand.

"All I can say is, we better find him soon on Will is going to quickly embrace the ways of pirate dueling." Jen advised.

"Ah. You're right. We'll split up." They immediately ran in opposite directions, calling out the child's name. Jen ran through the streets and then down the beaches, searching even the Pearl. Jack ran along a different set of streets, and then wandered into a few pubs, too worried to drink. And then he saw Charlie, waddling along merrily, not looking at all lost or scared. In fact, he looked downright...merry! Before Jack could grab him, he was snatched up by a thin, bony, whore who had been watching with moonlit eyes. Jack grimaced and headed over.

"Scuse me! That lovely little parcel you're holding, is mine, actually. I'll be needing it back." Jack said silkily, gesturing to Charlie, who seemed quite content. The woman laughed throatily, trying to be flirtatious, and Jack winced.

"You must be new." He murmured. She leaned in.

"What? Couldn't catch that." She asked, curious. Jack grinned and shook his head.

"Was nothing. Now, if you'll just give me the boy," Jack said, reaching for Charlie. The woman's eyes, which had been heavily outlined, shrank to slits.

"Now, Mr. Sparrow," She began. Jack leaned back and grinned.

"Ah, so you've heard of me!" He said with obvious delight. The woman grinned, revealing two missing teeth.

"Course I have! Everyone's 'eard of the infamous Jack Sparrow!" She purred, moving closer. Jack was still grinning, but came to his senses and reached for Charlie. The woman shielded Charlie with her body.

"Now, Cap'n Sparrow, I coulda' been savin' this boy from near death." She cautioned, even though Charlie was nowhere near any of the dangerous creatures on the island. "You better start lookin' out for you and yours. Still, for savin' the boy, I need a payment. A kiss would do the trick." She said coyly, gently placing Charlie in Jack's arms and leaning closer. Jack grinned his cat-ish grin and leaned forward. Suddenly, Jen was standing between them.

"Sorry," She stated firmly, "He's spoken for." The woman looked disgruntled and backed off as Jen glared fit to kill. As the whore faded into the scenery, Jen turned her wrath on Jack.

"And you! What kind of husband are you? Letting her carry on like that!" Jen raged. Jack gently kissed Jen on the lips.

"Just trying to get Charlie back. Whatever it takes, luv." He assured her. Jen smiled and took Jack's hand.

"Just make sure it doesn't happen again." Jen cautioned. The three made their way back to the Black Pearl and fell asleep in the same bed, Charlie lying in between the two. Charlie lay awake as Jack and Jen slept around him. He pulled Jen's arm over his waist, and Jack's over his upper body, and turned to face Jack.

"Rweally bad eggs!" He muttered tiredly, and then promptly fell asleep.

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED IT! THIS WAS A FLASHBACK, REAL STORY COMING SOON!
