The oceans calling
Chapter 38: Rebecca Morgan-Sparrow
A/N: So this is the last chapter for this fic. It's not as long as I'd like it to be and doesn't follow the true ending to the film but I quite liked leaving it here, especially because I don't know if I will be returning to these characters. I have so enjoyed writing this and I may return to Jack and Rebecca's adventures together some time in the future but for now this is it. Big thank you to all my readers and all the lovely people that reviewed.
Rebecca felt a little better now that they were off the Flying Dutchman but there was still the lingering sorrow from Wills death. Her whole body was heavier from the amount of water soaked into her clothes. She felt Jack stroke his thumb over the top of her hand that was resting on the railing of the Pearl. The both of them stood at the helm of the ship overlooking the crew as they commanded that the Pearl catch the wind.
There off to the starboard of the Black Pearl was the Endeavour. The ship lined with rows and rows of cannons and undoubtedly at the helm was Lord Beckett and Lord Mayfair. The company ship was fast approaching with intent to kill and now so were they. "We're going to end this" Jack comforted her and she smiled to him. It was time to free the sea.
Or try to at least. The Endeavour was a powerful ship; she could understand that the crew were nervous of the next upcoming battle. Rebby looked through her spyglass to see the Endeavours cannons armed and ready as the ship was sailing towards them on the starboard side. She folded it away to her side as the wind caught their sails and the Pearl soared through the water. As moods stayed low on the ship at the thought of them all being blown away by the East India Trading Company there was the loud splash of water in front of the Pearl.
All eyes turned to where a ship almost jumped out of the water where the maelstrom once was. Everyone instantly recognised the form of the ship as the Flying Dutchman but its rotting and greenish tint faded and looked practically normal. Rebby returned her spyglass to her eye and peered through it to see a welcomed familiar face. "It's Will" she looked to Jack, who winked to her, and then to Elizabeth. The sadness evaporating from her body and turning into happiness. "Ready the guns!" the brunette shouted to the crew on the deck. Her commands were immediately met with cheers as they went about with carrying out those orders. The tide seemed to have turned to their favour now; the pirates have two powerful ships at their command. That already trumped the Endeavour.
Every face on the ship had a small smile on it now "full canvas" Jack yelled.
"Aye. Full canvas" for once Barbossa agreed with Jack and there was no argument between the two.
Both the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman were getting closer and closer to each other as soon as there was a good distance between them Rebby turned to look at Cotton at the wheel. "Hard to starboard" she spoke softly to him and he complied immediately. Both ships turning now to face the Endeavour.
Rebecca couldn't help the smirk that worked its way onto her lips at the thought of Beckett and Mayfair realising what was going on. Before the Dutchman was on their side but no longer. Barbossa had now taken over the wheel to help Cotton.
She tightly held the wooden railing at the helm of the Pearl as with in no time they were upon the Endeavour. Jack remained at the side also watched with a smirk on his face. His beautiful golden teeth reflecting the sun's rays. "Cap'n" Gibbs was waiting for the command.
The brunette saw Jack turn to her in the corner of her eye "Rebby" he was waiting for her signal.
After all she was still Pirate King. She narrowed her blue eyes and waited until all the cannons on the Pearl had a good shot at the Endeavour "fire" she spoke so only those at the helm could hear her. The day had already taken the majority of her voice with the amount of shouting she had done and she was enjoying this moment.
"Fire" Jack repeated in a low tone.
Gibbs turned to the whole crew and yelled for them "Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire all!"
Barbossa and Elizabeth followed their lead. In almost an instant all the guns on both the Pearl and Dutchman were firing simultaneously. They weren't receiving any cannon fire in return as the Endeavour was taking a lot of hits. Wood splinted and exploded all over the enemy ship.
Rebby watched with enjoyment; she moved to the port side of the ship and saw Beckett and Mayfair at the helm of their ship. Her former father had his gaze on her and she couldn't help but wave to him seeing everything falling apart around him. Jack soon came up behind her and snaked his arms around her waist. Their obvious silent gloat as the cannons didn't stop hammering the enemy with cannon balls. "This is for you mother" Rebby only whispered this seeing a powerful enemy fall to pieces. Jack was the only one that could hear her and sense the small amount of tears building in her eyes. He leant his chin on her shoulder as their ship quickly passed and the remains of the Endeavour exploded and was engulfed in fire.
The only man she had ever called father was now gone and control of the sea had now been given back. "They're turning away!" Marty shouted from the rigging which caused a big ruckus of cheers. Victory was theirs entirely and they didn't even have to fight the rest of the armada.
Rebby moved over to Cotton and hugged him tightly in glee. Her cheeks then beginning to hurt from the large smile that she showed. "Wind in your sails" Cottons parrot appeared after having flown off before the fight and landed safely on Cottons shoulder.
The brunette then took Jacks had as they saw the crew throw their hats into the air.
"Mr Gibbs" Jack stroked his thumb over her hand.
"Cap'n"
"You may throw my hat if you like"" Jack handed his hat to Gibbs as he couldn't help but take his eyes off of Rebby.
Both of them having a strong sense of relief that it was over that they were both still alive. For a long moment they were approached with the situation that they were going to lose one another but they persevered. "Aye, aye, cap'n" Gibbs took the hat and threw it forward into the crowd of the crew "Hooray!"
Rebby smirked and moaned a little "I loved that hat"
"Now go get it" Jack ordered Gibbs. His smiled faded as he immediately ran down the steps to look for Jack hats. Rebecca couldn't help the laugh that escaped her mouth as Barbossa commanded the ship be directed towards Tortuga. It honestly wasn't far from their current location but the small argument that came between Elizabeth and the older pirate meant that she wasn't pleased to be going there.
Rebby wasn't too pleased either but she admitted that everyone deserved to enjoy themselves now. Maybe even get drunk before going out on another adventure again. No more did she have to feel imprisoned on land; she was a child of the sea now.
Before long the crew worked to lower one of the long boats – Elizabeth taking it upon herself to leave the ship for the nearest land that wasn't Tortuga. The young woman moved down the stair to where everyone was going to bid her farewell. She worked her way along everyone giving them all small smiles, Barbossa even calling her Mrs Turner, until she stopped by Jack and Rebby. "Jack. It never would have worked out between us" Rebby remembered hearing those words coming from Jack one time.
"Keep telling yourself that, darling" the young pirate leaned into Rebby while flashing his ring "I'm a married man now"
Elizabeth then turned to Rebby "And I'm a married woman" Rebecca showed her own ring next to Jacks before planting a kiss on his cheek. "It's time to move on, I think" her blue eyes met Elizabeth's who nodded. Both of them coming to the agreement to put the past behind them. "Goodbye, Lizzie"
She couldn't remember the last time she had called her friend by her nickname. It had been so long and too much had happened that had split them apart. Once Elizabeth had climbed down into the long boat and began rowing herself to the land not far from them, the sails caught the wind again and moved off.
Rebecca felt completely exhausted and immediately retired herself to the captain's quarters. Her weapons removed from her person and laid out nicely on the desk. She laid her body down onto the small bed and sighed. Her arms and legs ached, her muscles sore and her eyes felt heavy from the amount of energy she had put into fighting for her life. There was a clear cut on her leg where a marine had managed to land an attack on her but it would heal in no time. Perhaps it would scar; one that would have one of the most fantastic stories behind it.
"Mrs Morgan-Sparrow" she heard his voice close by and didn't even bother to look up. Her lips formed a smile instead as she heard him shuffle about.
"Mr Sparrow" It wasn't long before he was above her. His weapons also removed as he pushed his lips against hers and held onto her cheek.
He manoeuvred his body on top of hers and shifted so that he had full roam of her body. It had been a while since they had been this intimate and even though they were tired; they were still willing.
They were both finally together aboard the Black Pearl. Things couldn't be more perfect. Jack traced her bottom lip with his tongue before pushing it inside her mouth. His hand moving up to cup her breast as they remained lustful towards each other. Both of them had to stop kissing to taking in a fresh breath; Rebby moaning in the process from the immense pleasure she was now feeling. She smirked at Jack playfully "drink up me 'earties, yo ho" she sung the last words of the song she used to sing before pulling Jacks lips to hers again, letting herself be engulfed by his and her desire for each other.
A/N: Thank you everyone. Hope you all enjoyed.
