"Yo ho. Yo ho. A pirate's life for me."
Chapter 1
A young boy, no more than fifteen was sitting in his living room with his mother. Their house was a simple two room house in Port Royal. "Mother, will father be along shortly?" he asked. "No. As I have told you before Tucker, he won't be back until you turn twenty, unfortunately," his mother replied. "This isn't fair. Why can't he stay with us longer than one day. I don't even know him," young Tucker retorted.
"Now Tucker, I've told you over and over again, it's his duty. He just can't..."
"... he just can't stop ferrying the souls to the next world. I know mother. It's just been so long. Who was that other man who was with you on your adventures again? I forget his name."
"Smith. Or Smithy if you knew him well," his mother lied. There was a reason why she didn't tell her son the true identity of her husband's savior. They were silent for what seemed to be hours. Then, there was a knock on the door. Tucker's mother went to answer it. When she opened the door, she recognized the woman. "Angelica! What a surprise! Did you bring Matthew? Tucker has been wanting to see him all week!"
"Yes and Matthew has been asking for Tucker as well."
She went to the kitchen to bring out some drinks for her guests. Tucker and Matthew went outside to take a walk while their mothers stayed in the house and chatted for a while. "So what's new with your family?" Tucker's mother asked.
"Oh nothing. Matthew's father still hasn't showed up."
"That's awful."
"But the worst part of it is, he's probably getting drunk and finding wenches to please him."
"Oh Angelica. If you ever do need anything, never be afraid to ask."
"Thank you Elizabeth, but I think that were going along fine. Matthew is so grown up now. It's just hard to believe."
"Yes, I know. In fact, I've got a letter right here from my father-in-law saying that Will misses us very much and still can't believe how grown up Tucker has gotten."
"If only our fathers were here to see them grow up."
"Yes. If only."
They were quiet for a short time until Elizabeth thought of something that she hasn't asked her friend since Matthew was born. "Angelica, who is Matthew's father?" Angelica looked shocked that her friend even asked that question. "Who's Matthew's father?" Angelica repeated. "Yes. Who is he?" Elizabeth stated. "Uh... his name is... uh..."
"You mean to tell me that you don't even know who the father is!"
"No no no! His name is... Captain Ace Brannigan."
"Ace Brannigan. Are you sure that's who it is?"
"Yes. Positive."
"Wait a minute. That's Captain Jack Sparrow's uncle!"
Angelica looked like she was just trampled by a horse and carriage. Captain Jack Sparrow. The name repeated in her head until it hurt. "Are you alright? You look dreadful, Angelica," Elizabeth asked. "Oh yes. I'm fine. Who's Jack Sparrow?"
"Captain. And he's the man who saved Will's life! Surely I've told you before!"
"Oh. Yes, I remember." Angelica hadn't heard that name in ten years. Not since she was at the Fountain of Youth and they killed her father. They killed him. The one legged man and him. She still had his voodoo doll since it washed up on the island that he left her on. Until an English ship picked her up and brought her here, to Port Royal. Then she had his baby, Matthew Edward Teach.
"Shall we go find the boys?" Elizabeth asked. "Sure. Of course," Angelica answered.
Okay, so what do you think? Don't worry, Jack'll be in it soon. Just trying to give you an idea of how Angelica got off the island, and that she was telling the truth about being prego... This chapter is dedicated to my best friend Matt. I love you soo much, and I miss you!
