Jack shook his head to the water off his face. Then ran back into the cabin to see if his family made it as well, he burst through the doors and he only saw the two of them sitting on the bed, dry as a bone.
"How is she?" Jack asked coming closer to them.
"We're fine, we just sat here waiting for you to tell us it was okay to come out"
"You didn't flip over? Or get wet?"
"No, but that would explain why your all wet" She laughed.
"Blessed sweet westerlies, we're back!" Gibbs said excited.
"Come and join the others"
"Let me put Jade to bed I'll be out in a minute" She kissed him and Jack walked out only to be faced with guns in his face.
Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and Barbossa all pull guns on each other, Chris walks out to see this madness, so she points her gun at Elizabeth.
They all laugh and lower their guns, then point them up again.
Barbossa looks to his crew. "All right, then. The Brethren Court's a-gatherin' at Shipwreck Cove. Joanna and Jack, are a-goin', and there'll be no arguin' that point"
"I is arguin' the point. If there's pirates a-gatherin', I'm pointing my ship the other way"
Elizabeth no longer cared for Jack, she just wanted this to be over. "The pirates are gathering to fight Beckett, and you're a pirate"
Will takes aim at Jack now. "Fight or not, you're not running, Jack"
Joanna didn't care if Will was family you don't point things at her family. "If we don't stand together, they'll hunt us down one by one, till there be none left, but you and me"
Jack was quite proud. "I quite like the sound of that. The Sparrow Captains, the last known pirates in the world"
"Jack if we don't fight what will happen to Jade? Our daughter could die"
"Aye, and if you let me daughter and granddaughter die, Jones won't be your only enemy"
"I won't abandon my family, not again" Jack said firing his gun at Barbossa but it doesn't go off. They all fire, but the guns don't work.
Gibbs examines his gun. "Wet powder"
"Darling, we need to find water soon" Chris said moving up to the helm.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Will looks at the charts again. "There's a freshwater spring on this island. We can resupply there, and get back to shooting each other later"
"You can lead the shore party, and I'll stay with my ship" Jack said to Barbossa.
Barbossa wasn't having it. "I'll not be leaving my ship in your command"
Will rolled his eyes. "Why don't you both go ashore and leave the ship in Joanna and my command"
"Aye, I can agree to that, besides I can't wake Jade so soon"
"Joanna I don't want to be so far from you"
"I'll be okay, Will is here, besides you forget again I am the daughter of Barbossa"
"Be safe" Jack kissed her goodbye and they were off.
"Chris..."
"What?"
"I'm sorry for what I'm about to do" Will looked sad, he turned to walk away.
"What?"
Sao Feng's crew came aboard the ship, Joanna ran for the cabin but his crew blocked the door.
Will walked away from them not wishing to see what was a head. "NOOO! William you tell Sao Feng to let me through to my daughter now!" Joanna was furious.
"Get the child" Sao Feng ordered his crew, as well as hearing the baby cry.
"NO!" Chris yelled. "Don't you touch my baby!" Joanna pulled her sword out, stabbing the man that was opening the door.
The next man comes towards her but he didn't make it to far, Sao put his hand up in the air for the fighting to stop.
He moves closer to her and grabs her face. "Do not test me girl, now get the child"
Joanna tries to escape her captors but fails and then gagged. But then something happened that no one expected, her mother, Catherine Harvey Barbossa. Joanna screamed through her gag.
"Where is Chris?" She asked.
Joanna pitched a fit to get away from her mother who was now inches from reaching her.
"Remove her gag" The woman ordered.
"Go to hell!" She spat. "How could you take me away from him?"
"Your fucking father was a pirate, I did not want my daughter to end up one as well, that or dead, I did what I had to, to keep you safe"
"He loved me, more than you ever did"
"Where is your child?"
"NO!" She yelled again.
Her child was brought before Catherine. "And what is the dear girls name?"
"None of your fucking business"
"Oh dear William, what is her name?"
"Jade... Jade Rose" He said not bothering to turn around.
"Oh, what a precious name for a sweet little girl, well since your father has you and I am left with out a child, she is mine now" Catherine declared.
Jack and his crew make their way back on to the ship to see that it is over run with Chinese pirates and one woman. Jack and Barbossa both saw that she had Jade in her arms, they both rush on deck along with the crew.
"Oi! What are ye doing with me daughter?" Jack asked pulling his sword on her.
"Oh Jack so nice to see you again, tell me are you the father?"
"Bugger off woman, and hand me my child"
"Catherine, let her go, when did you become so violent?"
"When I returned home and my daughter was missing! How could you take her from me?"
Jack couldn't stand seeing Jade in the crazy ladies arms so he pulls his gun out in hopes that the powered has dried, he aims the gun at her head and shot with out a second thought. Joanna ran forward to catch her daughter and just in time too. Jack ran to her side protecting there daughter. Jack looked up to see guns on him.
Jack points to Barbossa. "He's the captain"
Barbossa toke charge since he was the only one man enough to do so. "Sao Feng, you showing up here, 'tis truly a remarkable coincidence, even if you thought bringing Catherine along to stop me"
I did not bring her to scare you, she was mine, Jack Sparrow, you paid me great insult once and now you have murdered the one woman I cared for, all we wanted was the child"
Jack hands the baby to her mother. "That doesn't sound like me" Sao Feng punches Jack in the nose.
Joanna flinched at the sight but remained calm.
"Shall we just call it square, then?"
Will looked to Tai Huang's men. "Release her. Elizabeth's not part of the bargain"
Barbossa was shocked. "And what bargain be that?"
"You heard Captain Turner. Release her"
"Captain Turner?" Joanna questioned him.
"Aye, the profidious rotter led a mutiny against us" Gibbs replied.
Will came closer to the crew. "I need the Pearl to free my father. That's the only reason I came on this voyage"
"Why didn't you tell me you were planning this? We could of helped your father together"
"Elizabeth, It was my burden to bear"
Jack was pissed, it was Joanna's ship no one else's. "He needs the Pearl! Captain Turner needs the Pearl! And you felt guilty" He pointed to Elizabeth. "And you and your Brethren Court!" He looked to Barbossa. "Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?" Joanna rolled her eyes, then Gibbs, Pintel, Ragetti, Cotton, and Jack the monkey slowly raise their hands. "This is my family, I'm standing over there with them" Jack moved to his wife.
Sao Feng grabs Jack's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Jack, but there's an old friend who wants to see you first"
Jack was unhappy, but at the same time he wondered what old friend he would be meeting now. "I'm not certain I can survive any more visits from old friends" He said realizing who it was. Sao shoves Jack forward, to show him that the East India Trading Company was here. "Here's your chance to find out"
"No!" Joanna shouted. "If you give him to Beckett, he'll kill him" She hands Jade to Gibbs. "You will not take him from me again" She said readying her sword.
Barbossa places a hand on her shoulder. "Jack knows what he's doing, stow it" He whispered.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Sao Feng was getting to impatient, he turned to Mercer. "Beckett agreed the Black Pearl was to be mine"
"Lord Beckett's not going to give up the only ship that can outrun the Dutchman, now is he?" Mercer exits with that being his only words to anyone.
Barbossa walks up to Sao Feng, who was now covering Catherine up. "It's a shame that was, shouldn't have bedded the woman, she was a wench"
"She was mine Barbossa, you only toke her from me to satisfy your self"
"Aye, but that did result in me daughter, now to bad they're not bound to honor the Code of the Brethren, ain't it? Because honor's a hard thing to come by nowadays"
Sao Feng shook his head. "There's no honor in remaining with the losing side. Leaving it for the winning side, that's just good business"
Joanna was getting angry with Sao. "The losing side, we're the most feared pirates of the Caribbean, they will not beat us"
"They have the Dutchman, now the Pearl. And what do the Brethren have?" Sao yells.
Barbossa looks around to see if Tia Dalma was around but only stared at Elizabeth instead. "We have Calypso"
"Calypso! An old legend"
"No, the goddess herself, bound in human form" Joanna explained.
"I intend to release her, but for that I need the Court, all the Court" Barbossa grabs Sao Feng's necklace.
"What are you proposing, Captain?"
"What be accepted, Captain?"
Sao Feng looks to Elizabeth. "The girl"
Elizabeth looked concerned. "What?"
"Elizabeth is not part of any bargain!"
"Out of the question" Barbossa said shaking his head.
"It was not a question, I want the girl, how many people more must die for me to get what I want?"
Elizabeth was done arguing. "Done"
"What? Not done!" Will commanded.
"I agree with her, done"
"You got us into this mess! If this is what frees us, then done!"
"Elizabeth! They're pirates!"
"What's wrong with pirates? You happen to be one of them!" Joanna shouted.
"I've had more than enough experience dealing with pirates!" She smacked his chest.
Barbossa looked to Elizabeth, then to Sao. "So we have an accord?"
"Aye"
Just then you could hear from the other ship Beckett shouting, "You're mad!" And then Jack replied "Thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't, this would probably never work" He fires a cannon, which hits mast and vaults Jack up and onto the mast of the Black Pearl.
"And that was without a single drop of rum" Jack jumps down and walks straight up to Will. "Send this pestilent traitorous cowhearted yeasty codpiece to the brig" Jack picked up Jade and cuddled closely to her. "Are you okay love?"
"At least she's dead now, one less thing to worry about, don't leave me again Jack, I can't lose you to Beckett again"
"I'm not going to leave you, ever"
