A/N: Something has come to my attention about confuse around points of view. The "&" marks are a seperation of sorts between points of view, however I will try to make it better as we go on. Thank you for reviews and let me know what you think. This chapter is short but needed. If there is anything to clear up let me know.
Chapter Eleven: Defend
Addy was blocking Will's bedroom door. Alex was not in her room or anywhere else. Jack knew she was behind that door. "Move Addy" he said quietly.
"Nope." Addy said.
"I will move you Addy." Jack said stepping closer and trying to reach for the doorknob.
"No Jack! She is a big girl, we don't need to be spying on her." Addy said. Jack went to pick her up. Addy quickly opened the door to see the situation before Jack could, so she would know how he would react.She stepped out of his way for a split second so he could see. She whispered, "See they are just sleeping. Alex probably got scared and he was the only one here." She spotted some of Alex clothing on the floor and turned to push Jack out of the room before he would see, "Now lets go and let them sleep." Addy slyly turned the lock as she shut the door so Jack couldn't go back in the room.
Jack narrowed his eyes at her, "What did you see Addy?"
"Nothing." she said and silently prayed he would not see straight through her.
Jack smiled at her, "Good" He knew better.
Addy released the breath she didn't know she was holding and followed Jack to their bedroom.

Will woke up to the sun streaming in through the windows. Alex still lay in his arms and he had to admit he loved the way she felt there. He knew though, that he had to get up and get ready to go to the docks as much as he didn't want to. He carefully moved away from her and got dressed. Once dressed he kissed her softly and left his room.Will frowned at seeing the door was locked as he left. He pondered that for a moment, shrugged it off and headed to the kitchen.
Grabbing a coke out of the refrigerator like he did every morning Will was smiling to himself and didn't notice Jack walk into the kitchen.
"What be ye smiling about William?" Jack said swaggering over to him. Will smiled a little more at seeing Jack with a gun casually in his hand.
"You and I both know all that thing will do is wake the house." Will said casually drinking his soda.
"May be so. It will also make me feel better." Jack said aiming it at him.
"Isn't the monkey around anymore?" Will said, grabbing an apple out of the fruit bowl on the counter. "Tell me Jack what has got you in such a fine temper?"
"I wonder dear William. Let me give you a hint." Jack aimed the pistol at his groin. "What say you become a eunuch?."
"I wonder Jack, what makes you more angry? Your daughter and I together or the fact that you aren't the only man she adores?" Will said turning his back on Jack.
Jack took aim again.
"Jack Sparrow what are you doing?" Addy yelled from the doorway.
Jack held up both hands and was about to speak when gunfire could be heard, "It wasn't me!" He yelled.
Addy, Will, and Jack all hit the floor out of reflex. "Who's shooting my house!" Addy yelled, "Not the China!" she cried soon after that when all of her china dishes shattered.
"See what did I tell you. Will shows up and everything goes to pot!" Jack said crawling his way to the back door.
Will and Jack were both to the back door when they realized that Alex was unprotected.
"I got her, you two get this to stop before my house is destroyed!" Addy said running for Will's room.
"Will when this is done, you and I , I and you need to finish our discussion." Jack said following Will out of the house.

Alex fell on the floor when she heard gun shots. What a hell of a way to wake up. Her heart did a little jump thinking maybe her parents and Will got into it. She scrambled into her clothes. As she reached for the door knob her mom came barreling in, landing on top of her.
"What is happening?" Alex yelled.
"Shh it is okay, someone is shooting at the house. Your father and Will are taking care of it." Addy said trying to sooth her daughter. She saw that she only made it worse and quickly spoke, "Think Alex darling, they are immortal. It won't hurt. Well it will hurt but they'll live." Addy said hopefully.
"Oh well that makes it all okay doesn't it." Alex 's voice was laced with sarcasm.
"Tell me dear did you have fun last night?" Addy said changing the subject. They were both moving slowly away from where the shots were coming from.
Alex stopped and blushed, "Mom .."
"It's okay deary, you can tell me." Addy said loading her own gun just in case. All Alex could do was nod. "Good" How could her mother be so calm. Oh that was right she was immortal too.

"What was that about I wonder?" Jack asked Will as they watched the culprits sail away. They just came in, shot everything up and left. It was passing odd.
"Jack I saw that same ship the other day at sea, it always kept it's distance so I thought nothing of it." Will said surveying the area. No one was left behind.
"Interesting." Jack mumbled as they headed back to the house. He found a piece of paper and on it was a very familiar symbol.
"East India Trading Company" Will said quizzically. "I thought that was over centuries ago."
Jack folded the scrape of paper and put it in his pocket. Jack didn't say anything. Over the years he found little clues to suggest that Becketts company still existed. Once he even meet one of Becketts great grandchildren. "It appears dear William, that even Cutler Beckett had the ability to spawn children."
"We should go after them." Will said looking back out to sea.
"Not without me effects." Jack said making a beeline for the house. Will followed
As Jack stormed into the house he was relieved to see Addy and Alex none the worse for the ware.Alex looked a little pale but that was understandable. "Addy dear call Gibbs and tell him to ready the twins."
Addy's eyes grew large, "Jack⦠The twins, what is going on.". The twins, known as the sea witches, Beth and Adria, were yachts that Jack purchased and outfitted with everything needed for a sea battle. Should the occasion arise, they were fast enough to out maneuver large ships, but deadly enough to defend themselves against some naval vessels.
"It appears some old friends wish to cause a stir, William and I are going after them." Jack said handing Will some guns. Addy was already on the phone with Gibbs.
Once Addy hung up the phone, she looked at Jack, "Gibbs said that someone hit two cruise ships last night. No one was hurt, thank god, but it seemed as if they knew where they were going to be and when."
Jack nodded, "Then someone has been speaking out of turn it would seem."
"I am going with you." Alex said, looking at Will
"Lexie you are staying here with your mum." He ignored the look he got from Addy. "I want you two to figure out who is leading these bloody curs to our door."
Addy nodded. "Alright Jack, but be careful, and for the love of all that is holy use the phone."
Alex ran for her room then. Jack made to go after her but Addy stopped him as Will went. "Jack let them say goodbye."
&&&&&
"Alex" Will said walking into her room. She flew into his arms.
"I don't want you to go." She whispered controlling her tears.
"Alex, all will be well, they can't hurt me I am.." Will started putting her at arms length to look in her eyes.
"Yes I know I know, immortal like them." Alex said frustrated, "That doesn't mean that I still won't miss you."
Will smiled, "So you know."
"Only about my parents, they wouldn't tell me your story." Alex said pulling him close again.
"Well then, when I get back I will tell you." Will said.
"Promise Will" Alex looked at him.
"I promise" He kissed her then, sealing his promise.
"I love you Will." Alex whispered as he left he room.
