4 year old Ashley Sparrow ran down the streets of Port Royal "Ashley do be careful, your mother will kill me if anything happens to you" Will Turner warned her "Aye Will" Will shook his head as the young girl ran around the streets, wooden sword in hand, dressed in her 'playing clothes' as Will calls them which consists of a baggy white top, black pants, knee high boots and a red bandana which keeps her long black hair out of her eyes. "Ashley how many times have me and your mother told you? No pirate talk, you must listen to us Ashley" Ashley stopped playing and turned to face Will, he hands on her hips she stood as her mother would if she was angry, Will knew that stance all too well. " No ye aint meh daddy, I don't have to listen to ye" Will looked both shocked and mortified, he had always known that Ashley was Jack's child but ever since Jack left he had taken the role as father, he loved Ashley as if she was his own child.
"He may not be ye father luv, but I am and no Pirate talk in port royal…ye don't want to be getting' 'rested now do ye?" Ashley turned to face the man she had heard and talked so much about "Daddy!" she squealed with delight as she ran into his open arms, Jack lifted her up and looked at her, he stroked her cheek with his thumb and smiled "How ye know who I am luv?" Ashley rolled her eyes "Pictures and Ma talks 'bout ye to meh" Jack nodded knowingly, then looked at Will "Will! How are ye?" All Will could do was nod his head "Why are you here?" he asked once he could finally speak, "Nice welcome" Jack grumbled "look lad, like it or not im not here to cause trouble, im just 'ere to see meh girl and talk wiv' 'Lizzybeth" Jack looked at Ashley "So how is ye Ma?" he asked her putting her down, one can only hold a child for so long, Ashley grabbed hold of his hand, never wanting to let him go, she pulled him in the direction of he house, with Will following quickly.
As they reached the house Ashley let go of Jack's hand "Ma! Ma! Looks who's here?" Elizabeth came outside, she looked at Ashley "What is it darling?" she looked behind Ashley and noticed the man she had once loved standing behind, her, his, their daughter "Jack!" she ran towards Jack who was standing with open arms and hugged him, Will stood behind Jack, the anger blazing inside of him, how dare Jack steal Elizabeth from his twice! He coughed to get Elizabeth's attention, he looked at him annoyingly then went over to him, he placed his arm around her waist "William" she warned him under her breath using his full name for emphasis, Elizabeth turned to Jack "Jack what brings you here?" he shrugged and looked at Ashley "Her"
Everyone except Ashley was seated in the kitchen, Jack was happily watching his daughter play in the living room "Jack? Why are you here? I didn't think you cared about her" Jack sniggered "Care 'bout her? Nah, I bloody Luv 'er mate" he replied glancing away from Ahley to look at Will "So Jack, What have you been doing for the past four years?" Elizabeth asked after taking a long sip of tea.
