Chapter Two

When Jack first saw the floating body of Will he was shocked and lost all train of thought. The image of Will only lasted a few seconds then slowly faded away to a different image, one that Jack thought he had forgotten. A memory he thought he left back in a tiny island a far from here. He was horrified for the first time in his life; his worse fear was there in the water staring back at him. Jack shut his eyes so tight, as if to stop the image from flooding into his mind. Suddenly Jack felt Elizabeth sneak her way into is arms, she was still sobbing, eyes filled with salty tears. It was her worst fear to see Will dead.

Jack knew Elizabeth and him were sailing closer to the Fountain of Youth, but he didn't think they were that close. Jack whispered to Elizabeth, "Lizzie its okay, it isn't real."

Elizabeth looked up at him her eyes red rimed and puffy, "What?" She paused to brush away a tear falling down her cheek, "What is it then?"

"It is a trick to get us away from the Fountain of Youth, but I didn't know we were that close." Jack glanced at the water again and so did Elizabeth, as she did she whimpered and hugged Jack even tighter.

"Jack do you see what I see?" Elizabeth mumbled into his shoulder.

"I did love, but I see something else now." Jack didn't dare tell her what, it was something that he kept deep in his mind and didn't dare let out.

Elizabeth backed away from him, and looked at him awkwardly. Jack saw her suddenly touch her stomach and he saw for the first time a slight bump emerge fro under her clothing. He didn't think anything of it before because she had been wearing a slightly bigger shirt. Jack's eyes grew wide as he stared at her mid section.

Elizabeth saw his reaction, "Yes Jack, it is what you think… I am pregnant." Elizabeth told him confidently.

Jack got over his shock and smiled, "Is that what you want, to carry around a piece of Will with you?"

"Yes very much, it is the only thing I have left of him…besides his heart." Elizabeth cooed as she stroked her stomach.

Jack nodded he was happy to see Elizabeth happy, but on the other hand a stream of cold jealously went running through his veins. He knew he shouldn't be feeling that way, and he ignored it. "Let's get out of here; we need a larger crew, especially when my only crew member is caring a wee one." Jack forced a friendly smile on his face but it slipped into a small grin.

Barbossa was forced to port in Tortuga to search for Jack and of course to get more rum for the crew. It was a difficult task since everyone looking for Jack got sidetracked by wenches and icy bottles of rum. It took them all night before they gave up, it was no use. Everyone they asked said that they haven't Jack in years, except one bar maid claimed she saw him three months ago. Which would mean he left in the dinghy. Barbossa now felt that searching for Jack was going to be harder then he thought. Now that Jack was loose in the Caribbean, he could be anywhere. Barbossa gathered his crew and headed back to the Pearl.

Eight hours later…

"Captain there's a stowaway on board." Pintel shouted from the mast. Barbossa was at the helm and concentrating so hard on finding Jack he could almost feel the map in his hands, he didn't want to be interrupted for a stowaway. Barbossa grunted and signaled for Cotton to take his place at the helm.

When he reached the mast, there was a boy no older then fifteen years of age. He had ragged brown hair that matched his perfectly russet colored eyes. His face was mature but you could see the child staring at you through his eyes. "What is your name boy?" Barbossa asked as he took out his sword to make himself look threatening.

The boy just laughed, "My name is Finn…Walters."

Barbossa eyed him carefully and looked him up and down. He wasn't scrawny nor was he burly. "I will only let you stay because I am in a generous mood today, but we dump you off at the next port. Understood?" Finn just glared at Barbossa without giving him an answer, but Barbossa took it as a yes and sent him to mop the deck.

For the next few days Barbossa watched Finn very carefully, he was a surprising good sailor/pirate. He did as told, even if he gave dirty looks, but he still did his job well. It was odd but Barbossa saw something strangely familiar about Finn; he couldn't put his finger on it.

Elizabeth was still flustered about what had just happened earlier. Seeing Will, or the fake Will, just showed her the reality of the whole thing. That Will could die, sometime or another if someone stabbed his heart. That's why she kept it safe, away from harm. But she couldn't help but worry about someone finding it.

"I see the Pearl!" Jack shouted with glee, just seeing his beloved ship again made him pleased beyond words.

Elizabeth searched the horizon until she spotted the black ship. She looked up at Jack who was standing heroically at the helm, "Jack." Elizabeth said to get his attention.

"Yes love?" Jack replied.

"I want you to know, that you're the only person who knows about…the baby." Elizabeth informed Jack who grinned.

"So is what you're trying to tell me, is that you don't want anyone to know. Is that right?"

Elizabeth bit her lower lip then she answered, "Yes…only until Will finds out…by someone." Elizabeth tried to give Jack her best puppy eyes.

Jack lowered his eyebrows, "You want me to tell Will?"

Elizabeth kept her puppy eyes plastered on her face, "Please Jack, I can't see him and it would mean a lot for someone to tell Will he had a child."

Jack just glowered, "Fine, I'll tell the whelp."

Elizabeth smiled from ear to ear and ran to Jack and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Jack you're a good man."

Ragetti stared into the abyss of the ocean, when he realized there was something heading toward them. A ship that he recognized to be one they used to get to Davy Jones's locker. "Captain! There's a ship!" Ragetti screamed as he ran to Barbossa, who was yelling orders at Pintel.

Barbossa heard this and forgot about Pintel and turned his attention to Ragetti, who was pointing to a spot on the starboard side of the ship. Sure enough there sailed a ship, flying no colors. Barbossa took out his spyglass and peeked through it to find Jack on the other side.

When Jack and Elizabeth boarded the Pearl, Barbossa greeted them eagerly. "Jack, sorry about the ship, no hard feelings, savvy?"

"There will be no hard feelings when I'm captain again." Jack replied, when he did so he saw Finn standing just off his right side. "What is this? A new edition to my crew."

Barbossa opened his mouth to speak, but Pintel butt in. "He's a stowaway that we found, we're going to dump him off at the next port." Pintel smiled at himself, pleased at his response.

Barbossa glared at Pintel, "Yes, he's a stowaway." Barbossa agreed.

Jack continued to observe Finn, "Kind scrawny isn't he?" As he said this he picked up Finn's arm and examined that too.

Finn clenched his jaw and yanked his arm away from Jack, "I am a perfectly able sailor." He spat at Jack.

Jack clicked his tongue on the top of his mouth, "Temper, temper, temper. We'll work on that."

As Jack walked away from Finn, it was Elizabeth's turn to observe the boy. She too found something oddly familiar about him. She looked at Barbossa who met her eyes. He just shrugged and followed Jack.

SOOOO… what did you think?? I'd love to know! Thanks for reading!
