Chapter Ten: I've Got Proof
No one would have thought that Jack Sparrow would have a moment in his life where he would have nothing to say. But here he stands completely frozen from shock with his mouth slightly parted and his sword dropped to the ground without realization. Jack was completely silent; as was everyone else. Including Evangeline.
Evangeline buried her head into her hands and groaned, she couldn't believe that she had just shouted something that embarrassing and important out for the world to know. Out for her brother to know.
She raised her head from her hands and found Jack still in the same position starring at her with his deep chocolate brown eyes.
"Jack?" asked Evangeline.
The tension rose in her body as she realized that about 30 people were starring at her and Jack. It made her even more uncomfortable that the boat across from them had heard as well, and were also starring.
"Jack, you have to do something." Pleaded Evangeline, and soon regretted it.
Because at that very moment, was when Jack's eyes rolled back, and his body gave up sending him to hit smack down onto the wood of the deck. Jack Sparrow had fainted.
Random members of the crew rushed towards Jack. Will cut loose a rope and swung his way over, as well as Elizabeth and Gibbs. Will quickly cut through the small crowd and lifted up his arm to check his pulse.
"He's got no pulse. I need a bucket of water, and two wet cloths…NOW!" shouted Will to the crew.
Shortly after two men came with the needed supplies. Will took one of the soaked cloths and put it behind Jack's neck and another one on his forehead.
He then grabbed the bucket full of water and dumped it onto Jack's head. Jack's eyes bolted open as his body coughed up the salty seawater that the men had giving him.
"W-what happened?" stuttered Jack as he slowly rose to his feet with the clothes falling off of his body.
"Well…" started Will. "Evangeline told you that she was pregnant and you sort of…passed out."
Then it hit Jack. I'm going to be a father. He repeated in his mind.
"Evi…" called out Jack as Evangeline made her way slowly, nervously and awkwardly through the now very large crowd.
"Yes?" she asked trying to sound casual.
"We need to talk love." Said Jack.
"Yea…we do." She said only above a whisper.
At the same moment Jack and Evangeline looked up at the crew with a look that said: Do you mind? The crew and everyone else parted except for one man. Hector Barbossa.
"We need to talk Jack." He said.
"I'm sorry, I busy talking with your sister right now." Said Jack with a smirk on his face. You could tell that he would do anything to not have that talk with him.
"You can talk with 'er later." He said sternly and then he pulled Jack way and into his cabin.
"WHAT WERE 'YE THINKING?" he yelled immediately as the door shut behind them.
"I don't know what I was thinking!" shouted back Jack. Which was true he didn't know what he was thinking. He's done this a lot with girls, and not one of them ever got pregnant.
Barbossa's face softened a little but not a lot. He did feel a touch of guilt for the couple though; I mean these things don't happen on purpose. At least not with Jack they don't.
"Jack…she's me sister." He said softly. This was a side of Barbossa that Jack's never seen. But who could blame him? Jack would be pretty upset if Barbossa got his sister pregnant. And yes Jack does have a sister. Her name is Holly Sparrow. Holly Sophia Sparrow. They don't ever talk though, that's why he had never mentioned her.
"I know…but, I love 'er. And I'll take care of her. You've got nothing to worry about Hector." These words surprised Jack as much as they did to Barbossa. But it was the truth and every once and a while, the truth must be said.
"I know you do Jack but, it's a known fact, Imagine this, 'ye wouldn't feel so good if you had a sister and I got her pregnant, would 'ye Jack?"
Jack didn't expect him to mention him having a sister. He knew that he meant only hypothetically but he's already lied to Hector so much, that he feels the need to pay him back. Pay him back with the truth.
"No need to imagine." Said Jack.
"…What do you mean?"
Jack took in a deep sign.
"I do have a sister…her name is Holly. We never talk though, you would be the first person to know that."
"Why haven't 'ye told anyone Jack?"
"As I said before…we never talk, we hate each other. Why would I tell anybody that I hate my family? Now that wouldn't make a good first impression now would it Hector?"
"You do make bad first impressions Jack."
"Better then that though."
"…How?"
"My bad impressions that you say I do usually involve, me being drunk or barging in a very unusual matter and if I throw in that I was a homeless boy living on the streets, with no mother, an abusive father, and a hated sister what do you think that they would think of me? Huh? And now to tope it all of when I thought that it couldn't get any worse I'm going to be a father and I don't know how to damn well be one because mine never paid any god damn attention to me!" yelled Jack with all of his might.
Jack was painting for breath with tears flooding in his eyes that he refused to let out. He couldn't believe that he had just told him this, and Barbossa couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Jack I…I never knew." He finally said.
"Well now you do…I've got to go." Said Jack sternly and quickly as he barged out of the room leaving Barbossa to pool in sadness behind the closed door.
Jack walked up the deck to notice that all eyes were on him and all eyes looked as if they were in tears.
"What happened?" whispered jack to the sobbing Evangeline.
"Jack…we all heard. I'm sorry…I-I never knew. I know that you're going to be a good father…don't go after your father's mistakes…please don't, I know you won't." she whispered back as more tears streamed down his face.
Jack couldn't believe it. They all heard…he thought.
Just then Jack started to walk away and towards the edge of the boat. If Evangeline hadn't spoke soon like she did you would have thought that he was going to commit suicide.
"Jack where are you going?" she asked as Jack cut the rope and place himself in position to swing.
"I'll be back love, I have somebody to prove wrong." And with that said Jack swung over to the boat next to them.
He loosened up the rope and the miniature boat that was on the side of the large boat flew onto the water. Jack lifted himself over the edge and started to climb down, and he soon placed himself into the boat and started to paddle towards shipwreck cove. His dad wanted proof, he's got proof.
Okay, so there's chapter ten I hope everyone liked it and I know that some of the character's may seem a bit OOC, but when you have a lot of drama all of there anger that was bottled up inside sort of just let's loose and they will seem a bit not in character. But I hope everyone liked this chapter and please review! Also, I'm sorry for the slight cussing that Jack used, I hope no one minded.
