Disclaimer: I (very sadly) do not own any part of Pirates of the Caribbean, but if I did, it would be Jack and Will!

Hey, it's my first Pirates Fanfic, so be at least a little nice! And so, without further ado, I give you:

Daughters and Secrets

by Kiska King

A young woman watched as Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain of his newly reclaimed Black Pearl, slung his arm around the woman he was with. The young woman, whose long, dark hair hid her face from view, nearly spat on the drunkard's face as she watched. But she didn't. She kept her cool as she walked out into the night air and looked around at Tortuga, her home, or as much of one as she'd ever had.

She sighed and thought 'That damned man doesn't even know about me, I'll bet'. As she stepped out into the night, Jocelyn Sparrow, or Josephine Dupree, as she called herself, smirked as she thought about her plan for revenge on her cursed father.

Miles away, in Port Royal, a different young woman, completely and totally different, walked through the streets on the way to her grandfather's manor. 'Really, I don't see why mum and dad don't visit him more often,' the young girl thought, looking up at her grandfather, the governor of Port Royal, who was standing in the door way, smiling at her in her finest dress.

"Margaret," Governor Swann said, warmly hugging his granddaughter, "I must be imagining how beautiful you are. You look so much like your mother."

Margaret smiled back at her grandfather and said "Grandfather, you spoil me. Now what was it that you wanted me here for?"

Her grandfather had a secretive smile on his face as his granddaughter walked into the entrance hall of his manor.

"Margaret, have you ever heard of the adventure you're mother and father took before you were born?"

Margaret almost audibly gulped. She knew her mother and father had been hiding something forever, but never thought she would find out. "No," she replied nervously.

"Let's see," her grandfather said, remembering exactly how the story went. "It all started the day your mother and father met. No one had any idea of it then, but they were one day going to be married. Not long after they both turned 18, a man came into our lives, and changed them forever. His name was Jack…sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow."

Jack Sparrow rolled over. His head was pounding, and the woman beside him was still asleep, and not only that, but she was lying on his arm. He tried to move it, but she wouldn't budge. He lay there trying to pull his arm out for several minutes before the woman finally moved. He nearly danced, but thought the better of it, and put his pants and shirt back on.

It took him under ten seconds to find everything he owned (and some things he didn't) and put it on, before he was out of the house and making his way towards the dock.

He slipped through the alleyways, making slightly more noise than a cat, and was in the clear, when "Captain Sparrow!" "Damn it!" he muttered under his breath, before turning around to see who the hell wanted something now. He found himself face to face with a young man, who was tall, and wiry, and looked strangely familiar. His short black hair was combed out of his face, but didn't look like it was going to stay that way for long. His shrewd, dark eyes looked at Jack with a fire he had seen in only one other person, but she was long gone.

"Captain Sparrow," the man said again, "I am here to join your crew."

Jack looked at the man again, this time from a captain's point of view. He was muscular, so he could work hard, and the man also looked determined, like anything the man set out to do would get done. He was a little slim, and slightly effeminate, but he was shrewd. Jack could tell that this man could see a lot, in a small area.

"You look like you would make a good lookout. I'll put you in the crow's nest." Jack turned and walked away, unaware of the evil smile creeping onto the young man's face.

"GIBBS!" Jack shouted, taking a bottle of rum from one of his crew. "Look what I've brought you."

The fat, oldish man with thinning hair looked at the man. "Let me guess," he said, "Crow's nest, right?"

"Crow's nest," Jack agreed.

"Well, then, boy," Gibbs said turning to the man. "What be your name?"

"Joe," the man replied, "Joe Dupree."

"Well, then, Joe," Gibbs said. "Welcome, to the Black Pearl."
