"Jack where is my son?" Will marched up to him while he was steering the ship
"Don't know," He shrugged,
"Listen if I..."
"If ya what Mr. Turner?" Jack turned to Will, "If ya don't see you're son out there you'll do what?" There was no reply, "Let me remind you that you are not the only one who has lost somethin' here,"
"Do you have any idea where they could be?" He asked,
"There is one possible answer," Jack smiled, "Its not too far, I say we get there at nightfall tomorrow,"
"Nightfall tomorrow?" Will repeated,
"Alright, alright," He sighed, "Noon tomorrow,"
"When you're done, can you come down to the cabins I need to show you something,"
Bill lay there staring up at the stars. Cleo was already asleep nestled into his chest. Her breathing was slow and steady. He felt comfortable, with her resting there. For once she wasn't yelling or talking, which made her a little more tame looking. Sweat was still across her forehead she did looking beautiful. Bill looked at her smiling,
"I liked it better when you we're lookin' at the stars," her groggy voice said,
"I like looking at you better," he kissed her forehead,
"Don't think jus' because we're together doesn't mean I'm goin' to be any softer on you," Her eyes were still closed,
"Wouldn't expect that," he smiled and they nestled closer together and Bill closed his eyes, and both fell into a deep sleep,
Natalie and Naomi crept to Pearl's room, and peaked inside.
"Do you think she's sleeping?" Naomi whispered,
"Of course," Natalie whispered back, "Let's go take a look at her,"
"What if she wakes up?" She caught her sister,
"Then she wakes up," Natalie shrugged and both girls moved silently towards the sleeping girl. They looked at her for a while,
"She looks like someone," Naomi's eyes narrowed in concentration, they both looked at each other,
"Cleo!"
"Where ya goin'?" Cleo turned to see Bill getting up,
"To go look around the island," He shrugged, and held out a hand to her, "Want to come?"
"Alright," She got up herself and didn't even bother looking at the hand, "but I promise you there's nothin' to look at," They both started around the island. Cleo's hands were at her sides, and Bill kept looking at them, they were both just walking in silence, and he finally grabbed her hand. Cleo didn't even noticed and looked up at the water something caught her eye,
"Well Mr. Turner it looks like we're goin' to be rescued jus' like ya wanted," She smiled as an on coming rowboat came towards them,
"Cleo!" The two-twin girl raced towards Cleo, and Bill just shrugged and shook his head.
"Ah trouble!" Cleo returned their hugs,
"Cleo I think you have a sister," Natalie whispered,
"How come you always have to tell?" Naomi crossed her arms in front of her chest,
"I do not!" She returned,
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Wait," Cleo held up her hands, "What's this 'bout a sister?" She looked to Jack, "Since when did I have a sister?"
"Don't look at me," He shrugged, "all I know is Will brought a lil' girl abroad me ship,"
"Jack I think we need to talk," Will made a follow sign to follow him, and the two men went off to the corner to talk,
"I swear me da must have more than twenty kids," Cleo whispered to Bill, and he just looked at her and nodded, not knowing what else to do,
"Do you want to see her?" Natalie offered,
"Actually I was thinkin'...."
"Come on!" The two twin girls dragged her down to the cabins, and Cleo looked back at Bill for help, but he just followed them and Cleo glared. The four of them came to the room with the little girl. She sat on the bed hugging her knees and staring into space,
"Pearl?" Natalie called softly, and the girl looked up and her eyes widened at the many people that came into her room, "its alright its you're sister," her ears seemed to perk up and looked at Cleo with interest,
"She doesn't look anythin' like me," Cleo whispered to Bill, "Except the face, the nose, and oh hell she does,"
"I can't have another daughter!" Jack looked at Will furiously,
"Jack I think she's you're daughter," He reassured his friend,
"You think!" He pointed out, "Have any proof?"
"The eyes," Will offered, "and she looks like Cleo but with lighter hair and you're eyes,"
"Let me see," Jack rushed off to the cabin with the little girl, and with Will close behind. They walked into the already crowded room, Cleo sat on the edge of the bed while Bill stood behind her with a hand on her shoulder and the twins on the bed smiling, the four turned when they heard footsteps,
"'Ello da!" Cleo smiled, Jack gave his daughter a look and the four moved out of his way to look at the girl,
"Jack maybe you should go easy on her she's just a little girl," Will whispered,
"Girl," Jack turned on the girl, "What's you're name?"
"'Earl," She looked him strait in the eye, she seemed more confident to everyone in the room,
"Who's you're mum?" He asked,
"I don't know," Her eyes went down,
"How can you not know?" Jack lifted a brow, and glanced towards Will who was just looking at the girl,
"Cap'ain Brop'y 'ever tol' me," She sigh,
"Oh," He stroked his bread, "Well what 'bout a father?"
"I don't know 'at eit'er," Pearl shrugged, but looked back up at him, "but I do 'ave sometin' 'at mig't be a sometin',"
"Really?" He looked interested, "Let's have a look see then," The girl rolled up her long sleeve to reveal a bruised arm Jack went closer and looked at it carefully, on her wrist was a sparrow flying over the water into the sunset,
