Here We Go Again

The group trudged through the caves, water sloshing at their feet in most places, and finally they beheld the treasure, and a long gasp ensued from many to see the trunk of Cortez's treasure was wide open. Jack hurried forward, climbing up the steep hill of coins and jewels and fell to his knee's before it. "No!"

Will's face went from passive to insinuating. "Ah-ha! I knew it!"

"Knew what?" Jack asked, forgetting his grief.

"That you were after Cortez's treasure again!"

Jack glared. "Turner, hardly the time to make accusations." He turned back to the gold. "Now where was I?" he rubbed his chin and grinned. "Ah yes, ahem. Men, lady, our work, is cut short, for another has dared to take a piece of this gold!"

"Who could it be?"

"How shall we kill them?"

"Ook-a-ri-ri-ri?"

All the men and Anna Maria blinked and turned slowly around to see Jack, Barbossa's monkey with a piece of the gold in his hand, erm... paw. Jack (the person) smiled at it and stepped slowly forward, the monkey watched him warily. "Hey little Jack, how about you give me that and I'll give you a nice banana, eh?"

The monkey seemed to consider it, then moved back a bit. Jack tried to keep his patience. "All right, better, I'll give you a plantain instead, eh?"

The monkey considered again, and then moved to Jack, trustingly placed the gold in his hand and pushed his fingers about it. Jack smiled and the creature reached forward, he frowned. "You didn't think I was serious?"

The monkey looked sadly at him, seemed to pout and continued to reach forward. Anna Maria glared. "Well?"

Jack turned to her. "I ain't got no stinkin' plantain!" He muttered, turning to leave when she grabbed his vest bravely. "No plantain, then you just got yourself a new crew member!"

The monkey chirped with excitement and Jack was about to object when Anna Maria yanked him away and the men began to fill their bags with gold and jewels. Jack threw the gold into the chest and had some crew members carry it to the boat, after getting what he wanted, they left the Isla de Meurta. Jack was in his cabin that night, admiring a jewel encrusted crown when Will hurried in, smiling.

Jack raised a thick eyebrow at him, not trusting him for one second. "What?" Will continued to stare at him with the grin, one Jack hadn't sever seen on him. Jack stood and cowered into the corner. "I swear to God if you don't stop looking at me like that! . . ."

"You would swear to God?" Will asked with surprise moving closer. "None of the matter, I've completed my half of the deal, now it's your turn Captain."

"Well," Jack began. "You see there's this lass back in Tortuga and if I don't bring her money before we stop over there I'm afraid you won't like the consequences."

Will shrugged passively. "What should I care? How will she know you're not lost at sea?"

Jack laughed rather annoyingly, and continually until he didn't feel like it. "Please! If Captain Jack . . ."

"Sparrow were lost at sea everyone would know, I know, I know and do you know what? I don't care! You are coming with me to see Elizabeth and my son wether you like it or not, I had to come with you!" He spun a ring around and slipped it into his pocket, when seeing Jack's disapproving glare he grinned and said. "For safe keeping."

"Yes, I'm sure the missus will keep it very safe. But you have just one problem." He grinned, leaning closer to Will. "I am the captain of this ship, what say, goes. And I haven't said Port Royal."

"Too bad isn't it?" Will held back a smile as he looked wickedly at him. "Anna Maria's had the ship bound for Port Royal since we left the Isla de Muerta."

"WHAAAAAATTTT!!!!???"

"No, you don't understan', pleeeaaaassseeeee turn the ship 'round!" Jack was a sight for sore eyes begging Anna Maria on his hand and knees, both Anna Maria and Will were laughing rather fiercely and at the sound of people slowly coming into hearing range Jack froze and looked over the side of the ship. "Oh Jesus . . ."

Anna Maria kicked him in the side. "Hey! Careful how you use that, buddy!"

"Oh Lord . . ." Jack moaned in pain and deciding not to break his ribs Anna Maria bit her tongue. "Why are you flippin' out? We took the other sail off, no one knows this is the Black Pearl!"

"Except for one, teensie weensie detail." Jack said, throwing his hand over the side of his beloved ship and reporting. "Her name is written on her side."

"Uff!" Both Will and Jack groaned as they hit the dock.

"G'luck boys!" Anna maria called as the ship began to turn away. "We'll see you soon! We hope!"

Jack and Will dragged themselves off their bellies and quickly made way off the docks and out of sight until they found Will and Elizabeth's home. A baby's cry sounded the minute they strode up to the door and Jack turned to walk away, was grabbed by Will as he dragged him inside.

"Elizabeth! We're home!" Will called, smiling as his wife came into view.

"What's taken you so long!" She cried, rushing into his arms. After a quick embrace and kiss she noticed Jack, standing rather limply in the doorway. "Oh, hello Jack. You came."

"A deal's a deal." He muttered, glaring over at Will. She looked suspiciously at her husband.

"What deal?"

"The deal to come back!" He said ushering her out. "Come, come Jack! Come see my son!"

"Well," Elizabeth began to protest. " I don't think that's such a good idea because I just put him down for his nap!" But against her will her well, Will shoved Jack into the nursery and followed. "Isn't he beautiful?"

Jack looked down at the baby sleeping in it's cradle and then back at Will. "Bit bald if you ask me . .."

Elizabeth began to chuckle and Will frowned, turning slightly red. "He has hair!"

"Yes," Elizabeth said, still laughing. "Yes maybe in la la land he does!" She continued laughing. "I told you, Will!"

"He is NOT bald!"

"Is so." Both Elizabeth and Jack said in unison.

Will smiled fondly at the boy. "He's perfect." (AN, yes I Know, Fangirls: Gush)

Elizabeth quieted at this and smiled softly as she watched Will gaze at the baby, felt her heart flutter. The bell buzzed and Jack peeked out the window, immediately jumped away and muttered. "We've got company lads, and he looks a lot like me old pal the commodore!"

Meh, this should get interesting, eh? Sorry it took so long, I had absolutely NO ideas. Reviews with ideas always help. Next chapter should be longer and funnier.
