thank you for the revieuws

Chapter two, Teague's POV

Finally, after all those years, I would see Jonathan again. Of course I was a little mad at him for running of like that, but he stayed my son, goddamnit. I knew the brethren would come together and with Jonathan or Jack as he liked to call himself being one of them, he would finally come home. I kind of understood him, I shouldn't have forced it upon him like that, I knew how much he loved his freedom and I was very proud of him. I had heard the stories and how he was very strict to his crew, to let them honour the code. I had spies looking out for news about him and I had mourned when I heard about the incident with the kraken, but just a week ago, I had heard stories about him being very alive and on his way to Shipwreck Cove.

I quietly observed the gathering of the brethren and waited till Jonathan would show up. Of course, since no one knew about him being my son, I would have to be a little cold towards him, besides, he did ran off.

Jack/Jonathan's POV

As I sailed to the port, I grew more and more nervous. I also tried to stand more upright and be sober. The latter was for two reasons; the first being, me having to be sober to deal with all those other cursed Pirate lords, and make a plan as well as convincing them not to kill each other. The second was the fact that I didn't want to be drunk, meeting my father for the first time in 15 years. As we arrived, I tried lingering aboard but that bloody Barbossa pulled me with him, taking us to the court. After we arrived, only Sao Feng wasn't there yet. We put our swords in the globe and walked to one of the ends of the table, the one looking at the balcony of my father's quarters, where I once had a room as well. I wondered if it was still there and if so, who inhabited it now, I knew I didn't have any siblings, otherwise I would've heard it from one of the men I knew who sailed between shipwreck and Tortuga all the time. They were close family-friends.

The meeting

Captain Teague's POV

I am glad Jackie still respects the code. After he had seen his mother, I just wanted to ask him to take our dialogue to my study, when the lord of the pacific and ex first-mate of Jonathan came up to us and introduced himself, "Captain Hector Barbossa, Keeper, it's an honour to finally meet you. I made him go away with a cold: "I prefer not to have dealings with mutineers and code-breakers, Barbossa. The code is the law." Meanwhile, The rest of the crew had joined us, so I turned to my son, "Come with me, boy, we have much to discuss", I asked him. "Of course, Captain", he responded, using the same tone as all these years ago, when he had to address me where someone could hear us. We went upstairs to the study. I offered him a seat, which he gladly took. I saw that he dropped his drunken but controlled behaviour immediately, using decent language. It was something I had learned him years ago, pretend to be less capable and smart and people won't see you as a threat and thus wont expect you to be a difficult opponent. After a pause, I said," You did a good job out there, son," I knew he would understand what I meant. Both his years alone, till very recently staying alive and preventing the pirate lords of killing each other or disrespecting the code by giving me a warning. He gave me a smile, "thanks father, I am sorry for running away all those years ago",
"I wanted to talk about that with you as wat with you as well, I am growing old Jack and while I understand why you did it, I need you by my side as my heir for at least one month a year." I took a deep breath, I knew my following words would shock him, especially now, but I, not knowing how long I had yet to live, had no choice. "I want to claim you publically as my sole son and heir." I watched his eyes widen In shock, trying to find words. "Will you become Jonathan Edward Teague-Sparrow officially?" Jonathan nodded, "Of course I will, father", he smiled and his eyes met mine. We sat there for a few seconds, just staring, until I broke the silence by asking; "I see you managed to untangle your dreadlocks," (AN: yes I know in the movie he has his dreadlocks and I know you can't just untangle dreadlocks, but it was necessary for the story, so shut up ;p ) "Yeah, I figured you wouldn't be so pleased with them, thinking it wasn't appropriate by tradition", "Quite right you are, Jackie." I stood up and walked to the window, "Well, it's a good thing, since people wouldn't be able to see your tattoo through your dreadlocks, which is, if I am not mistaken, the reason you did it?" He smiled sheepishly, "well, it was the best way to disguise my bead and tattoo. One question though, why do they have to be able to see it?" I pulled up one eyebrow," There are a lot of people who want to kill you, lad. They would not want my rage placed upon them, also, if you were death, they would have to elect one of their own and they all know what a disaster that would be. Also, it's actually a relief for them I think, they won't see you in the ocean in some years anymore?"

He gave me an apprehensive nod, "Well, how are we going to tell them?" I gave him a grin before responding." Well, after I do your hair, questions will be asked, we'll just answer them truthfully."

"Of course"

Jack/Jonathan POV

After my father was done with me, I could barely recognise myself; my hair had been brushed and pulled back in a braid, except for one braid, containing my bead. Heck, my father had even shaved me. Why is it that the Keeper himself can look however he wants, but that the heir must always look neat and tidy?

My father smiled at me, "Now, why don't you go join your men, I've heard there is rum." I chuckled, it was true that rum was my favourite liquid for drinking, though not in such quantities as everybody thought. "Thank you, dad, I am curious to see their reaction though." On hearing that, my father stood up, "Well, by second thought, maybe it's better if I come with you, I wouldn't want to miss Barbossa's face and that way, I'm there if trouble arises."

I walked to my friends and to that filthy mutineer, my once first-mate, Hector Barbossa. My father walked a few meters behind me, as to not immediately spoiling the fun with him being noticed. Arriving to the place where Will and Lizzie stood, I addressed them, ignoring Barbossa, "May I express my congratulations, your Highness?" She frowned, turning her face fully towards me, she asked confused, "And who might you be? Do I know you, you do look a bit familiar, although who you remind me of, I cannot say, Captain Teague perhaps, are you related to him?" Obviously, she didn't recognize me, so neat, nor my sober speech. Perhaps, I overdid those formalities a bit much, because William, not at all impressed with my nice words looked disgusted, "You're not a unique, are you?" I grinned, thinking of that day, years ago. Then, I responded with my typical "Jack Sparrow-voice", using the pirate slang, "Hey, tha me line!" Ha, got him there, with wide eyes and a shocked face as the realisation dawned upon him, he stammered, "J-Jack?"

Looking from her fiancé to me and back again, Elizabeth's mouth fell open, wide enough to let a sea turtle in. "What happened to you, why couldn't we recognize you or your voice?" began a baffled Lizzie. Just as I was about to answer, the high and mighty Keeper himself joined us and rudely interrupted our conversation. "King Elizabeth, I believe you have, although knowing him for a while now, never received a proper introduction of my son?" Great, now the width of both their mouths could have let a whole ship in.
"Y-your son?" This time, it was Lizzie's time to stutter. Dad pulled up one eyebrow, "Why yes, may I present to you my only son and heir, Jonathan "Jack" Edward Teague-Sparrow. And" he added, after raising his voice to make sure everyone could hear, " only captain of 'The Black Pearl'." Barbossa, only hearing the last part, yelled, infuriated through the silence that followed this statement, "Who lays claim on MY ship?!"

Sorry, kinda ended in a cliffy there, but I have a LOT of homework and have only one more hour to finish it, I think I will manage though :)
