Chapter 1: Homecoming
Sixteen months later...
Port Royal went back to its old ways, it was like before when Isabella had arrived first from Versailles. It was not corrupt like it was when Lord Beckett came and took over the entire Island. Indeed, Beckett ruined everything that Admiral Norrington worked so hard to built this Island. When Beckett first set his company in motion, the town became corrupt and in really bad shape...well only for the poor. The elite society did not even notice such dramatic change. Of course, they had money, so it did not affect them. Now, that Lord Beckett had left to England...the island was getting back up. All thanks to Admiral Norrington, who was left in charge of the island.
Today, Dutchess Beckett and Lord Beckett would arrive back to Port Royal after sixteen months. To reclaim their territory...
It was a busy day at Fort Charles, as everyone prepared for the arrival of Lord Cutler Beckett pride and head of the East India Trading Company. James was busy ordering here and there, trying to get everything ready before the Endeavour made port.
"Admiral, Dutchess Norrington and Miss Robin have arrived". announced one of the officers. Both Isabella and Robin had to join James at the fort today to welcome Beckett and Charlotte back. It is almost requiered that Isabella be by James's side, for when his superior arrived.
"Father!" Little Robin beamed and ran towards her father. James caught Robin in his arms and embraced her warmly.
"Good morning sweet pea". James kissed Robin's rosy cheek. Isabella smiled at the sight of her two loves.
"Good morning darling, is everything ready for the their arrival?" Isabella kissed James softly.
"Yes it is, I just wish he didn't comeback, because I fear the news he brings back". James sighed and put Robin down, who ran to the balcony outside to play with her doll.
"What news would he bring back "? Isabella asked curiously
"Just a few months ago, I recieved a letter from Lord Beckett, stating that many people will go to the gallows. In his letter, he also stated he will tell me the King's decision on this matter...and that will determine when we will take action". said James.
"But the people that will face the gallows are all pirates, are they not"?
"Well yes, but also people aiding a person convicted of piracy and associating with a person convicted of piracy. Isabella innocent people will also be sent to the noose". James was very worried.
"How cruel, so even an innocent child can be hanged."? Isabella was stunned.
"Yes..." James bowed his head "What have I done..I betrayed Elizabeth and Will, all for what? And now innocent people might hang".
"James don't blame yourself, you did it for us, for our daughter...and for this new baby". Isabella said quietly.
James head shot back up to look at Isabella. "You're...you are with child"?
Isabella nodded "Yes". James smiled and scooped Isabella up into his arms and kissed her passionately.
After five minutes he stopped, giving her a chance to breathe. "When did you find out"?
"Just two days ago. I have not told anyone, but you. So please, lets wait for a week and then make the announcement".
James nodded in agreement. He would have to wait and see about this voyage to the Flying Dutchman, then disscuss what he will do.
"Admiral, the Endeavour has made port." annouced Leutinant Groves from the doorway, blushing slightly at the sight of Isabella in James's arms.
"Thank you we will be down in a minute". James put Isabella down.
"Let me get Robin". Isabella went out into the balcony to get Robin. After, she joined James and all three headed down to the docks.
Isabella stood by James's side as she waited to face Charlotte, once again. After so long, she will finally see her enemy. Her eyes finally layed on the man and the woman coming down the ship...Lord Beckett of course looking haughty as usual...but there was something different in his smile...a smile of victory, of finally achieveing what he wanted for so long. And this smile meant he finally got it. Isabella's eyes turned to the right and saw Chatlotte, looking glorious as ever. She also had a very triumphet smile on her red lips. James and Isabella were in total shock when they saw a small bundle in Charlotte's arms.. Beckett finally met with Isabella and James.
"Admiral Norrington, good to see that you kept Port Royal and the company in order, while I was away." Beckett nodded towards James, and turned to Isabella. "Very nice to see you again Dutchess Norrington". he kissed her hand.
"Good morning Lord Beckett". Robin curtsied
"Good morning Miss Robin". Beckett smiled at the charming little girl before him. He could tell that she will just be as charming and graceful as Isabella.
"Lord Beckett". Isabella greeted cooly.
"I would like you to meet someone". Beckett said as Charlotte who was greeting other people, came to his side with the bundle still in her arms. "My son...Felix Jude Beckett"...
A/N: And there you have mates! Beckett and Charlotte certainly got busy these past few months! LOl! PLEASE R&R! Thanks- Michelle
