"Roxxi was the mother?" Jack asked, stunned. He never thought that she could've been the mother, but now that he thought about it, it made sense. Afterall, once he did the math, Roxxi would've already be pregnant when she was marooned...
"Aye, but I wasn't suppose to tell you." Teague said.
"You weren't?" Jack asked. "Since when did you care wether you were supposed to say something or not?"
"Since I found out I had a grandson I was never told about."
"Whatever."
"What's wrong with you?" Teague asked. "You just found out that I had been talking to Roxxi earlier, and that's all you can say?"
"What should I say?" Jack asked. "It's already too-"
"Just go." Teague said, rubbing his forehead.
"Ok, bye then."
Teague watched as Jack left. He wish he could tell what his son was thinking, but right now, he was as unreadable as one of the many worn out rum soaked books in the room with him. Teague never really could tell what was going on in Jack's head, which scared him more then anything.
Only because it made Jack more unpredictable.
Teague's wife, Danielle, was the one who could read their son. She was always able to tell what Jack was up to, even when he was away. 'God how I miss her.' Teague thought. 'She always knew exactly what to say to Jackie.' Then he sighed. 'How will I tell him that his Mum died in child birth?'
Jack, however, was long gone by the time Teague had thought of how to say it to him.
A few weeks later, Jack was laying in a dinghy, just staring at the stars. 'It's been a while since I did this. They're beautiful.' He thought. 'Last time I did this, I was laying on the deck of the Pearl.' He brought his right hand up to his face. 'With my arm around Roxxi.'
"Roxxi, are you awake?" Eighteen year old Jack asked, turning to the sixteen year old girl next to him.
"Yes, I'm awake, why?" Roxxi asked, pushing her hair out of her face as she turned to face him.
"Are you cold?"
"A little, but nothing I can't handle." She said, obviously lying. She was dressed in a black mini skirt, white shirt with black sleeves, a light blue sash, and knee high black boots.
"Let's go inside." Jack said, already standing. He pulled her up by her arm, then lead her to his cabin.
"You know, Captain, I could shout for help." Roxxi teased.
"But Luv, why would my first mate need to shout for help?" Jack teased back, picking her up.
As soon as they were in Jack's cabin, Roxxi was on Jack's bed, with Jack kissing her. Pretty soon, she was kissing him back. After a few runs to the rum locker, they were smashed.
The next morning, Jack woke up with Roxxi still in his bed. Their clothes were tossed carelessly around the room. Besides the jewelry Roxxi was wearing and Jack's bandanna, neither one was wearing anything. Jack quickly pulled his clothes on, while fighting the effects of his hangover...
As soon as he was on deck, he saw his second mate, Barbossa, at the helm and tried to get blow deck before-
"MORNIN' CAPTAIN!" Barbossa shouted, knowing how much Jack hates that.
"Hector, why are you shouting first thing in the morning?" Jack asked, rubbing his forehead.
"Where's Roxxi?"
"Sleeping." Jack said. "Why?"
"I heard that she's plannin' a mutiny."
Jack sighed, knowing now that Barbossa was lying. He wish he had known before he marooned Roxxi. Before Barbossa had mutinied against him and marooned him.
Before Roxxi had found out that she was pregnant...
He took his rum bottle, needing something to take the edge off of the guilty feeling he's had each and every day since Barbossa had told him the truth. In fact, Jack never really drank rum like this until he was marooned. Before then, he drank about a bottle a day, not a dozen, like now. Not enough to knock him out, just enough mess up his judgement.
Just enough to think that, at age eighteen, he was ready to be a father, just to prove that he could be a better father then Teague ever was...
While Jack was sleeping, Roxxi swam up to the boat. She looked at him, with a sad look in her face. "Jack, I'm sorry I never told you about Peter."
"I knew about him." Jack said, waking up. "I found him in Tortuga."
"I left him in Tortuga with my friend, while I earned some money for a bigger house." Roxxi said. "I never expected Will to bring Peter to my doorstep."
"Then how did-"
"I don't know how, but somehow Cutty found out that he was the son of a pirate, making him a pirate." Roxxi said. "I tried to save him, but I had no choice but to leave him. I gave him permission to sing the song."
"I taught him that on our way to Port Royal."
"After I got back to my house, I tried every spell I knew to reverse it, but none worked."
"Roxxi, please don't cry." Jack said, using his free hand to wipe the tears off of her face. "If you want, we can have another child together, and-"
"That's all you men ever think about!" Roxxi shouted. "How fast you can get a woman to undress!" She splashed him, then dove back into the water...
"Dad! I think your compass is broken!" Peter shouted. "It's not pointing North!"
"It's working just fine Pete." Jack said. "Unless you want to find North, but there's nothing there but ice and polar bears."
"I've never seen ice or polar bears." Jack's son said. "What do they look like?"
"How about we go there after I pick you up?" Jack asked.
"But do you have to leave me?" Peter asked. "We just met!"
"I can't bring you with me." Jack said. "It's too dangerous."
"What can be more dangerous then Tortuga on a bad night?"
"Many things." Jack said. "Besides, my friend, William Turner, can show you some basics in sword fighting. So that I can teach you the more-"
"Didn't you say that he almost defeated you in a fight?"
"But he didn't, and that's what's important." Jack said. "The most important thing to pirating is that you know how to cheat in a sword fight, and can see the opportune moment to cheat, savvy?"
"What does 'savvy' mean?"
"It means 'do you understand'."
"Then yes, I understand." Peter said. "What's that song you were humming last night, while you were looking at your charts?"
"It's called 'Hoist the Colors'." Jack said. "I learned it when I was a child. Back then, every child in Shipwreck Cove was taught it, in case the Bretheren Court ever needed to be called." Then Jack thought of something. "Would you like to learn it?"
Jack woke up to the sunrise. He could still hear his son, trying to memorize the words to 'Hoist the Colors' or him talking about how he doesn't want to leave. Then Jack remembered the last thing Peter said to him.
"Don't forget about me!"
Jack smiled at the memory, then pulled up the sleeve on his left arm, showing the new tattoo he had. It was a piece of eight with Peter's name under it. "Down worry, Pete. I'll never forget about you."
Back at Shipwreck Cove, Teague was in his study, looking at Peter's death certificate, while a music box he found played a very depressing melody. Then he heard knocking on the door. "Go away, ye good for nothing son of a-"
"Actually, considering the fact that I'm a woman, that insult doesn't really apply." Roxxi said, walking in. "And what's with the song? No Guitar?" She started to make guitar sounds while playing an air guitar...
"I'm thinking, you and Jack were made for each other." Teague said. "You both are just as immature as the other."
"Maturity is overrated, if you ask me." Roxxi said, taking a sip out of his rum bottle. "So, what cha readin?"
"See for yourself." Teague said, handing the paper over.
Teague watched as Roxxi's eyes got glossy. She then smiled and looked out the window, just in time to see a snow flake...
The music box thing at the end came up when I was listening to this really pretty music box type song
I'm not really sure if it is the title, but it's usually called the Sailor Galaxia Locket
If you want to hear it, there's plenty of videos on Youtube
More info about Roxxi and Jack can be found in my other stories
Hopefully this is the end to this story...
