"Not All Treasure is Silver and Gold"

Chapter 1

Jack was the happiest he'd been in his life. He had his wife, Danielle, and a life of freedom. He and his crew were free to sail where they pleased and to do whatever they wished.

But Jack couldn't decide what to do first. It only took a couple of months for his new ship to be built and its maiden voyage was inching closer and closer.

He left the job of naming the ship up to Danielle, who spent most of the last week trying to come up with something original.

Jack had moved in with Dani into her small flat that had been sacked by Beckett's men so long ago.

She was busy in the kitchen when Jack awoke. He groggily sauntered from the bedroom and slouched in a kitchen chair.

"What would you like to eat for breakfast, captain?" She asked without turning around to look at him.

"Rum."

"No rum for breakfast."

"Do you think the crew misses me?"

"Jack, you let them sail to Tortuga without you. They're too drunk to remember who you are right now."

He pouted. He had only let them sail to Tortuga without him because he was waiting for his new ship. They would go and have a good time, then be ready to sail when Jack and Dani got there. But it was probably a mistake for him to volunteer Dani as his crewmate for an entire trip to Tortuga. The ship could be crewed by the two of them, but it took so long for just the two of them to complete the tasks.

"Eggs, then?" she asked, breaking his train of thought.

"Have you come up with a name for the ship?"

"I've come up with some really girly names that you won't like."

"Fantastic."

She set two cups of tea down on the table in front of him and turned back around. He pulled a flask out of seemingly nowhere and poured some into each cup. Jack hid the flask back away as she turned back.

"What would some of those 'girly' names be, love?"

"Oh, the Purple Pony and Shooting Star," she answered as she sipped her tea. "Jack!" she shouted at him when the rum hit her taste buds.

"Couldn't resist, love," Jack said as he smiled slyly. "Wifey…" Jack asked as she poured herself a new cup of tea.

Dani's eyes searched the small kitchen then returned to Jack. "Are you speaking to me? Because my name is Dani, not wifey."

"You are my only wife here," he answered her, laughing.

She put her angry face on and stared him down.

"I was just kidding, Danielle."

"It was not funny, Jack Sparrow."

"Well, Mrs. Sparrow, what do you intend to do about it?"

"You will be punished, Captain Sparrow."

"Ooh…"

"And you will not enjoy it," she said with an evil smile.

"Oh, bugger," he said as she pulled on his arm. He stood and allowed himself to be pulled into the bedroom. Like it was such a chore to please his wife.

They were still in bed late into the afternoon. Jack and Danielle were supposed to be having an early supper with Elizabeth and William, but were now running late.

"Jack, I need you to lace up my corset."

"You do not need a corset to go to dinner. Where is my compass?"

"You don't need a compass to find the Governor's mansion, do you?"

"I do no go anywhere without my compass, savvy?"

"Jack, I know that. Please just lace up my dress."

Jack relented and helped her out. Every time he pulled on a lace, she winced in pain.

"Are you all right?" he asked, every time she shuddered.

"Fine, fine. Keep going."

Jack did keep going. And despite his reservations about the corset, she looked beautiful in the dress that he had chosen. He couldn't wait until he could come home and take it off of her.

Dani bent down the best she could after sitting on the bed and slipped on her shoes. She found Jack's compass pushed under the bed. Dani handed it to him and straightened his hat before he held the door open for her.

They strolled together through Port Royal's streets. Children gathered in groups to watch in awe the pirates wander streets in their city. Ladies screamed and ran inside or clutched their husbands arms hard. Jack couldn't help but get a bigger smile.

He turned to Dani right before they reached the gate to the Governor's mansion, "It's good to be a pirate."

They were let into the home and greeted warmly. A maid led them to a lavishly decorated dining room and chairs were pulled out for them. Shortly after they arrived, Lord Norrington was led to his seat as well. He had a smile on his face and a beautiful girl on his arm.

"Captain and Mrs. Sparrow, I would like you to meet my fiancée, Arabella Dickenson."

"So very nice to meet you, Miss Dickinson."

"Mrs. Sparrow, I realize that we have just met, and you know nothing about me, but I was wondering if you would be kind enough to make me a wedding dress? James told me how wonderful a seamstress you are."

"Of course, Miss Dickinson. It would be my pleasure. And please, call me Dani."

"In that case, call me Bella."

Shortly after Dani and Bella had started discussing her wedding plans, which the men had decided to tune out, Will and Elizabeth entered the dining room.

And poor Elizabeth, she was as a big as a house. She wasn't supposed to be up on her feet, but insisted that she hold this dinner party.

Elizabeth was seated next to Dani and they began to moon over the idea of a baby Turner, which was getting nearer and nearer.

Will, on the other hand, looked petrified. He didn't have anyone to ask for advice about being a father. His own father had abandoned him and no one else had any children.

"Young William, have some rum," Jack said, producing the silver flask again.

Will took a swig to calm his nerves. "I don't think I can do this. She keeps telling me how it's going to be. I don't think I can be a good dad."

Jack didn't know how to respond. Usually when men were running from responsibilities, he was on board and offered him a ride to a new port, but with Will and Elizabeth, he had to keep Will here.

Jack knew he was a good man and a decent pirate, but he was going to be a great dad. Jack only hoped that in the future, he could be a dad like Will was going to be.

The couples all sat around and feasted. They toasted to Norrington's future wife, Will and Elizabeth's not-so future child and the maiden voyage of Jack and Dani's new ship.

Too much wine and rum was had while at the party and Dani and Jack had to lean on each other during the walk home.

Jack started singing but couldn't remember any words to the song. He was humming the tune to "A Pirate's Life for Me" badly and only said "really bad eggs" over and over.

"Jack," Dani said as she pulled off one of his many belts, "time for bed."

"My favorite time," he said back, losing his drunkenness in time to pin her to the wall and kiss her.

"Mine, too," she smiled and let herself be ravished by Jack.
