Joanna was up all night making sure Joseph was okay. She tried to feed him but he wouldn't eat.
"Joseph, please don't do this", she said. "You have to eat something."
When she did get him to eat, he wasn't able to keep the food down very long. Almost five minutes later, Joseph would throw up everything he just ate. Joanna put Joseph in one of the bassinets they had. She started dabbing his face with a cool rag. When he fell asleep, she decided to sleep too.
"Get well soon, Joseph", she said.
When Joanna went to sleep, Barbossa stayed up with the girls. They were hard to get to sleep. Once Heather fell asleep, little Joanna would wake up and vice versa. Finally he got them both to sleep and he laid down next to Joanna. Just when he started to fall asleep, Joseph woke up. Barbossa let Joanna sleep and he got up with him. He figured Joanna needed some sleep. Joanna heard Joseph wake up. She was going to get up and take care of him, but Barbossa beat her to it. She noticed he seemed tired. She got up and took Joseph out of his arms.
"Go to bed, Hector", she said. "You need rest more than I do."
When Barbossa left, Joanna checked Joseph's temperature. It went down a little. Once she got him to go to sleep, she went to tell Barbossa about it.
"Hector, Joseph's starting to get better."
She noticed Barbossa was already asleep. She could tell him in the morning. Joanna gave him a kiss on his cheek and went to bed.
Barbossa slept silently.
Barbossa walked on deck late that afternoon. He saw a familiar ship next to theirs with Will Turner at the helm. It was the Flying Dutchmen. He tried yelling to Will, but it seemed at if he couldn't hear, and when he ran twards the ship, it just got farther and farther away. He looked around and noticed the whole crew was still there and he saw Joanna watching the ship crying.
Who did the Dutchmen take? he wondered.
"Bring them back!" Joanna cried. "Bring my babies back!"
Soon Barbossa realized the only people missing were all three kids.
Just then Barbossa jumped up in a cold sweat to see that the kids were still in the room and Joanna was still next to him.
"A dream.." he mumbled to himself. "Just a dream."
Joanna heard Barbossa wake up. She got up a little bit. She noticed he had a scared look on his face.
"What's wrong, Hector?" she asked.
She kissed him softly.
"It's okay. You can tell me."
Barbossa sat silent for a moment, gathering his thoughts. He then got out of bed, got dressed and walked on deck. Joanna looked at him confused. What happened? What was wrong? She got up out of bed and followed Barbossa out onto the deck. When Joanna followed, Barbossa turned to look at her.
"We can't keep this up anymore", he said. "I can't let that happen. I won't let it happen!"
"What?" Joanna asked. "Let what happen? What's wrong?"
Barbossa didn't answer her. Joanna put her hands firmly on his shoulders.
"Hector, tell me what's wrong. You're scaring me."
"A bad dream", Barbossa answered. "The children died at sea and were taken away on the Flying Dutchman."
She gasped worried about the kids. She looked at the cabin and back at Barbossa.
"I made ya a promise. Do ya remember what that was?" he said to her then went on before she could answer. "I promised I wouldn't ever let 'nything happen to ye, and now I'm making that promise to our children. We have ta get them off of this ship, Joanna."
Joanna looked at Barbossa.
"What are we going to do if we get them off the ship?" she asked him. "I already told you I won't stay on land while you sail without me."
She wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest.
"Oh, what are we going to do, Hector? We can't keep the children safe on the ship. We won't stay on land. What can we do to protect them?"
"Only one thing ta do...give them up."
Joanna gasped.
"You mean...abandon them?" she asked. "Hector, they're our children. They're just babies!"
"We're not gonna abandon them", Barbossa said. "We're just gonna put them up fer adoption. They'll have a better life on land with another family than with us. They'll be safe."
