Chap 1 Family reunion
(jack pov)
Ah, Tortuga. Any decent pirate enjoys the sweet aroma of the rum, but I came for the wenches.
I entered my usual pub, the Faithful Bride.
I spotted a beautiful damsel right off. Approaching her, I put on my best handsome-pirate-captain smile.
The girl's back was turned to me, and I only saw her long, dark hair flowing down her back. I tapped her shoulder, and saw thee face I thought that I wouldn't see for a million years.
Angelica Teach.
"Jack?" she asked stunned.
I got over my shock, and was able to say "Fancy meeting you here, eh?"
To my surprise, Angelica laughed.
"Aren't you going to slap me?" I asked.
"I forgave you, Jack." said Angelica."A million times over."
"When?"
Angelica gave a knowing smile."Since I had Julian, our son."
My eyes nearly popped out of my head.
" S-son?" I stuttered." We have a son?"
" That's him, right over there." Angelica pointed to a very skinny lad of about 13, back against the wall, tricornered hat pulled over his eyes.
"Are you certain?" I asked.
"Yes, Jack. That's him. He's a bit moody, but you know how they can be." Angelica sighed.
My eyes turned back to the boy. He looked up as two 13 years old girls passed him, and he tried to get their eye. The girls sat down at a table, and Julian walked by, looking at the girls,and smacked into a post.
The girls giggled as Julian rubbed his head.
" Can I speak to him?" I pointed to Julian.
" Yes. But don't tell him that you're his father." said Angelica.
Slowly, I walked over to the boy.
" Girl trouble, mate?" I asked.
" Yeah," said Julian. To my surprise, he spoke in a voice much like my own." I can't get any of them to notice me. The only time I do is when I make a fool of myself."
" I hear ye, mate." I said." I get a lot of ladies,then thay have to go and slap me."
Julian laughed.
" Girls have problems. The whole bloody lot if 'em."
I said." Say, I didn't catch your name."
" Julian. Julian Sparrow." Julian looked at me.
" Like the great Captain Jack Sparrow?" I smirked. " He might just be your father. I can see the resemblance."
" Ha. I doubt it. He's a great pirate, while I can't even captain a dingy! I even fell in the water while trying to climb into one."
" Ye might surprise yourself."
Julian gasped. " Oh. Bugger."
" What?" I asked.
" It's him, Hubert Barbossa. Every time he sees me, he tries to beat me up." Whispered Julian.
The boy that Julian was talking about looked oddly like Hector...
Hubert came up to Julian.
" Well, well, if it ain't Stupid Sparrow. When was the last time I beat you up?" Hubert sneered.
" Well, thirty days have November, it's about 12:25, and it's not a leap year, so... yesterday?" Julian gave a sheepish smile.
Hubert raised a fist to punch Julian with, but I grabbed his wrist.
" I'd be much obliged if you stop hounding my boy, Savvy?" I said, glaring at the boy.
I let go.
Hubert sneered again." Well, Sparrow, next time, yer Daddy won't be 'ere."
He stalked off.
Julian looked at me. " God, no."
I shrugged. " Welcome to the Caribbean, mate."
Then a fight broke out between two pirates near us.
Julian and I ducked as a swing came our way.
" Why didn't you tell me?" Julian asked, as we were crawling to safety.
" Yer Mum didn't want me to tell ye," I shook my head. "Clever lass...always loved her..."
Julian smirked.
Somehow, we made our way out of the bar.
" What about Mum?" asked Julian.
" She's tough. She can take care of herself."
" That,I can believe. So, where too? Dad ?"
I grimaced. " To my ship. And don't call me that. Call me 'Captain' or 'sir' or 'Jack'. Doesn't really matter."
" Wait... your taking me to sea?" Julian goggled at me.
" 'Course. Chance to show that your really my son."
" Don't forget me, Jack." Angelica said.
I turned around.
" Alright, you can come." I said.
" But don't embarrass me, ok?" Julian muttered.
" I'll try not to."
So there we were, a complete set of a pirate family, off to set sail.
