Chapter 3: Salazar's escape and Calypso's plan

While Bethany and Jack rejoiced about their new baby girl, deep in devil's triangle someone else was celebrating. Captain Salazar and his ghostly crew had finally tracked down the Black Pearls course. They sailed out of the devils triangle, sharpened their swords and were ready for revenge. They had heard that Captain Sparrow now had a child and decided to use it to their full extent.

Captain Salazar, himself, stood the helm feeling more alive than ever- which was saying something considering he was a ghost. "You will pay for your sins, Sparrow" he said "count on it."

Meanwhile on the main decks of the black pearl, baby Morgan was now six months old and already crawling away from her father. But with good reason, her father was trying to put her in a dress! Morgan hated dresses! Most likely a trait from her mother…

"Guppy!" Jack called sternly "You get back here!"

That just made little Morgan crawl faster across the deck. She giggled and cooed it was all fun and games until her mother scooped her up and brought her to her father. Morgan squirmed, trying to get out of her mother's grasp.

When they got to their cabin Bethany asked Jack "do we really have to put her in that thing?"

Jack stared at the frilly white flowered dress he was holding. "Elizabeth sent it and if Morgan doesn't wear it to the party she'll be insulted" he explained.

Morgan looked up at him brown eyes wide as if to say 'no daddy, please don't make me wear it!'

"Hold her down" he told Bethany. Bethany did.

"Alright, guppy this can be easy or hard" he told the infant.

Apparently Morgan wanted it the hard way because the next few minutes was filled with wrestling and whining and "get your arm in the hole!" Once that was over and done with, the two parents stepped back and admired their handy work. Morgan looked miserable and sweet at the same time.

"Your Aunt Elizabeth is going to love you in this" said Jack.

Morgan reached up and pulled the matching frilly flower headband off her head and threw it on the floor in protest.

"Guppy, don't be like that" Jack warned.

Then Morgan-as if threateningly- began to gag.

"NO!" Jack and Bethany shouted in unison.

However before they even got the word out, Morgan spit up all down the front of her dress. Her parents sighed, exasperated, Morgan giggled, almost evilly.

Bethany looked at Jack "let's have a kid you said, it'll be fun you said!"

"Well, why did you listen to me?" Jack yelled playfully.

Although baby Morgan knew well enough how to make trouble, she also knew how to charm. Even the toughest of pirates seemed to sub come to her cuteness. Jack and Bethany had a party right on the black pearl to show off their little girl, family and friends alike came to see her. She sat on her father's knee, happy to be back in her red and white striped jumper.

"She has your eyes, Jack" Will turner commented.

"Where's the dress I sent?" asked Elizabeth.

"It is currently sitting in a hamper covered in vomit" answered Jack.

Elizabeth scowled.

Then ten year old Henry Turner, Will and Elizabeth's son, came over, staring at Morgan, surprised at how small she was.

"Ello, Henry, what do you think of baby Morgan?" Jack asked him.

Henry tilted his head slightly. "You're sure that's a girl?" he asked.

Jack stared "do you want to change her and find out?"

"No, no I'm good!" said Henry as he ran off.

Just then two pirates pushed their way through the crowd. "Excuse us! Proud grandfathers coming through!" announced Captain Musket, Teague followed close behind.

"Dad, Captain Musket, glad you could make it" said Jack.

The two older pirates looked at their new grandchild. "So… is it a boy or a girl?" asked Teague awkwardly.

"Dad! Have ye gone blind already?" Jack said "it's clearly a girl!"

"Well, it is hard to tell with that jumper she has on" said Musket "it makes her look like a boy."

"It does not!" protested Jack "it makes her look perfect!"

"Jack's right" said Teague "besides it's his daughter let him dress her the way he wants."

"Thank you, dad"

"But just so we're clear it is a girl?" he asked.

Jack sighed heavily "yes dad."

Teague turned to Musket. "Cough up the five shilling" he said holding out his hand. Musket rolled his eyes but dropped five shillings in Teague's hand.

Jack watched slack jawed. "You bet on what gender the baby was?" he looked at them.

"Aye." They said.

Jack just rolled his eyes and took Morgan over to the railing of the ship. Morgan giggled as the sea air danced through her brownish black hair.

"You love the sea, don't you?" Jack said, proudly.

She gurgled in response.

"It's in your blood after all" he told her "one day you're going to be a little high seas hell raiser- don't tell mommy I said that."

"Don't tell mommy what?" came a voice from behind.

Jack turned and saw Bethany with her arms crossed. "How much I love her!" said Jack trying to cover up the situation of teaching Morgan swears.

She smirked and took Morgan to play with Henry.

Suddenly a whirlpool formed near the pearl and out of it came the sea goddess calypso. She looked much like Tia Dalma still, but with a blue dress that seemed to shimmer like the Caribbean blue waters and seashells in her hair.

"Bloody hell!" said Jack as everyone stared at the uninvited guest. "Can we not have a bloody party without some supernatural thing happening!"

"Jack and Bethany Sparrow" said Calypso "I have come with a warning!"

"What warning?" asked Jack.

"He has escaped" she warned.

Everyone gave her blank stares.

"Captain Salazar has escaped the devils triangle and he's coming for the child" Calypso pointed at Morgan.

"What!" shrieked Bethany.

"Salazar! I should have killed him when I had the chance!" Jack said through gritted teeth.

"We have to kill him first!" suggested Pintel.

"You can't kill a ghost pirate!" said Gibbs.

"Well, what do we do?" shouted regetti.

The whole party started arguing over what to do. How do you really kill a ghost pirate? Jack and Bethany watched the whole ordeal, Jack noticed young Morgan starting to cry at the sight.

Jack jumped up on the railing and fired his pistol into the air. Everyone froze.

"Stop it all of ya!" yelled Jack "your scaring the wee lass!"

The crowd murmured their apologies.

"Jack, what are we going to do?" Bethany asked him, soothing Morgan. There was fear in Bethany's eyes for her baby girl, Jack could see it. He, himself, feared for what would happen to Morgan if Salazar got his hands on her.

"I have a gift for the child too" said Calypso "the gift of protection."

"What do you mean?" asked Jack.

Calypso handed him a small vile labeled sirens tears Jack looked at the blue glowing liquid inside.

"How will this protect Morgan?" asked Jack.

"Dump the contents into the sea when the time comes and I will come and take the little babe somewhere far away. Somewhere the evil ghost cannot get to her" Calypso instructed.

"No" Jack said firmly, giving her back the vile "you're not taking my baby away from me!"

"Jack" said Bethany, tears welling in her eyes "I don't like it any more than you do, but this could be her only chance."

Jack stared down at the baby in Bethany's arms; Morgan stared up at him as well. He could tell by her eyes that she was just as scared and confused as he was.

Jack sighed. "Fine" he said finally "but you must watch over her personally, Calypso."

"Of course" she said with a nod and then she was gone leaving behind the vile of sirens tears.
