Richards Revenge
Chapter 1
As her little brother pounced on her Marie could not help laughing. JJ tickled her endlessly.
"Get off" she cried in a girlish squeal. Ellen smiled as her big brother pulled J off his girlfriend.
They were in Marie's bedroom. She was still in the same room she had returned to two years ago. Her Papa was still as protective of his little sparrow was he had been the day she had been born.
From the years from 11 to 12 Marie changed little. She was still young at heart and a free spirit. But whilst being young at heart she was still scared at heart. For the first six months, when JJ was with their grandma, she had waked up every single night screaming for her father. Jack was scared she'd never return to the happy young girl Willie had told him about.
But after that first six months things were easier. The nightmares didn't come so regularly. She was still clingy to Jack though and that hadn't changed even now as her thirteenth birthday approached. She was just a papa's girl. That was not going to change. Jack couldn't help but be pleased about that.
JJ had returned just four months after leaving. Jack found he missed his son just too much! Sophie, his mother, was still at Port Royal with a successful business.
Life all in all was going well.
"You're so mean J!" said Marie giggling.
"Ay, savvy?" he said using his fathers word though not very well in its context.
"Kids! Dinners up!" they heard Ana-Maria sparrow call to them from the above deck.
Running to the deck the children raced and in the end Willie won with his sister Ellen coming second. JJ came next and Marie lost.
As always the first thing she did was going straight to her Papa and settled her self in his lap and lean in to his chest.
"Yer 'right me little sparrow?" asked Jack as he hugged his first born child.
"Fine," she said.
"Go sit down with yer brother Marie," her mother said as the meal was being brought out to the crew.
The children sat on a table by themselves most night so that the parents could be sure they were not drinking rum.
At about nine o'clock all the kids started to feel tired, so JJ and Willie went to have some boy time while the girls sat on there fathers laps again.
Jack held Marie tighter than Will ever did Ellen. He still couldn't always believe she was back. He regretted the time he had missed with her. She was his daughter, his baby. But now she was home nothing would change her.
"Are you ok my little Sparrow?" said Jack in to her black hair.
She nodded but was too near sleep to speak properly.
So just as every night went he scoop Marie up in his arms and Jack cradled her against his chest. Walking down to the quarters him and his family shared Jack tucked his daughter in to bed while his wife settled down his son.
"Ahh, I love you darling," said Jack as he climbed in to his bed next to his wife.
"I know and I love you," said Ana.
"The kids," Ana smiled randomly hugging her husband putting her hand over his chest feeling his ever strong heart beating.
"What about them?" said Jack.
"I love them too and it is so great to see the two of them getting on so well," she cooed.
"I know. I love of three of yer to death," he agreed.
"I know," she whispered.
"Are you ok, darlin'?" said Jack.
"Yer, fine, night Jack," said Ana.
"Nigh', night Ana," resting in to Jack.
