~*~*~*~*~*~

"Jack, why are we in Tortuga?" Annamaria asked the next day.
"I need ter get someone," Jack said before walking off the ship. "Now where's the bloody whore?"
He walked around the town until he found the tavern.
"Maybe she's in 'ere," he muttered.
He walked in and at one saw a brown haired, green eyed, big breasted, woman.
"Found 'er," he said. "Oy, Hazel!"
The woman looked up.
"I thought I told you never to come near me again, Jack!" she growled. "After you stole my daughter-"
"Our daughter. And she's the reason I came," Jack said while fighting back tears, but a few leaked.
"Wot happened ter her?" Hazel demanded.
"Well...she...she was about ter marry a British officer, but she 'ates 'im, so me an' Ragetti an' Pintel were trying ter get away from 'im. She was swinging on a rope ova ter Ragetti-'cause she's gunna marry 'im, not Norrington-then Norrington shot 'er right as she let go o' the rope."
"Is she alright? Jack, tell me the truth!"
"She's unconscious on meh ship. We 'ad a doctor come an fix 'er up."
"Let me get Jewel."
"Who?"
"Her sister."
"I have another daughter?"
"Not you. Barbossa."
"Wot?"
"You may be my husband, but I can have a little fun while you're away. Jewel!"
A girl in her late teens walked up to them. Her hair was red and her eyes were blue.
"Jewel, this is Jack,' Hazel said. "Jack, Jewel."
"You're Emily's dad aren't you?" she asked.
"Yes and-"
Jewel slapped him.
"Wot was tha' fer?!"
"Never bringing her here so I can meet my sister!"
"How was I supposed ter know yer 'er sister?"
"Jack, just take us to her."
Jack led them to the Pearl and to Emily's cabin.
"Oh, an' Hazel-she lost 'er left eye a few years ago an' the man in there-if 'e 'as a wooden eye, tha's Ragetti. If 'e doesn't 'ave a wooden eye, but light gray hair and is bald on top, then tha's Pintel. If there's a girl with blonde hair, Elizabeth, brown haired man, Bootstrap Will Turner."
Hazel opened the door and saw a tall, lanky, man with messy brown- blonde hair. In his right eye socket was a wooden eye.
"Who are ye?" he asked.
"I'm Hazel-Emily's mom. This is Jewel, her half sister," Hazel said.
"Wot happened to her, mum?" Jewel asked.
"She was shot," Ragetti said.
"Ragetti, Will wants ter talk ter ye," Pintel said while poking his head in.
Jewel turned around and looked at Pintel as Ragetti walked by her.
'Now I know why Emily became a pirate!' she thought with a grin. She looked back at Hazel and saw her clasping Emily's hand.
"My poor daughter," Hazel whispered.
"She apparently knows how to read," Jewel said, seeing some books above her cot. "For a pirate, she's pretty."
"That she is-except what has Jack done to her hair? There are dreadlocks and beads and even a bone plate stuck in her hair!" Hazel stood up and saw Emily's shelves. "A three point hat, two pistols, a sword, a compass, a bandana, three different belts, a coat, and a wooden eye. What has Jack done to her?"
"It was 'er choice," Jack said as he walked in. "I gave 'er the choice of being a land lover or a pirate. She loves the sea too much. Come on deck, there's food."
As they went on deck, Ragetti came back down.
He sat down on his cot and reached for a book to try and read when Emily groaned. He looked back at her and saw her head moving. He kneeled down beside her and clasped her hand.
Emily's eyes opened and she weakly smiled.
"'Ello, love," she whispered. "Ye don' 'appen ter 'ave any rum, do ye?"
Ragetti laughed as he hugged her.
"Oh, watch the stomach, love-it 'urts like 'ell," Emily groaned.
"Sorry," Ragetti said.
"Wot 'appened ter meh? I only remember seeing Norrington sneaking up behind dad-Is dad okay? He ain't dead, is 'e?"
"No, no. 'E's fine. Ye got shot by Norrington."
"I'll kill 'im!"
"No, no ye won'. Jack already took care o' 'im. Speaking o' Jack, I need ter get 'im real quick."
"Why? How long 'ave I been in la-la land?"
"A few days. I'll be right back-don' go back ter sleep-not yet, at least."
"Aye, I won't."
Ragetti left the room.

"Oy, Jack! She's awake! Emily finally woke up!" Ragetti laughed as he stepped onto the deck.
"She's awake? Really?" Jack cried.
"Aye!"
Jack danced around the dock with two bottles of rum in his hands and while crying, "She's awake!"
Then he finally regained composure and ran down to her cabin.
"'Ow ye doin', love?" he asked with a smile.
"Me stomach 'urts like 'ell, but otherwise, I'm fine," Emily answered. "I'll be even better if I could 'ave some o' tha' rum." She made to grab a bottle, but Jack pulled it away. "Dad!"
"Can't 'ave alcohol fer a few weeks, love. Doctor's orders."
"Wot? Not even ale?"
"Sorry, lass."
"She's just like you, Jack," Hazel said while entering the room.
"'Ho is she?" Emily asked.
"Tha', m'dear, is yer mother."
"If she 'as green eyes an' ye 'ave brown-then 'ow come I 'ave blue?" Emily asked.
"Yer granddad," Jack said. "Anyway, Emily, Hazel, Hazel, Emily."
Jewel walked in.
"Let meh guess-sister?"
"Half sister," Jewel said. "I'm Jewel."
"Who is yer dad?"
"Barbossa. And I can see why you became a pirate-that Pintel is kind of cute."
"Uh.ye can 'ave 'im. Ragetti's mine. Can't I 'ave jus' a sip?"
"No," Jack said.
"But I'm thirsty!"
"You'll have to learn how to do with water," Elizabeth said as she and Will entered the cabin.
"Oy, are we 'aving a party now tha' I'm awake or somethin'?" Emily asked while still trying to grab the rum bottle.
"I already told ye, no rum!" Jack said. "An' no, we're not 'aving a party. We were jus' worried ter death tha' ye might not wake up...Especially Ragetti 'ere. He would rarely leave yer side."
Ragetti blushed.
"Aye, ye can leave now, I'm drifting off ter sleep kind of," Emily yawned.
Most everybody left. Ragetti stayed.
"Ye really stayed by me side most o' the time?" she asked.
"Tha's what I'm supposed ter do, remember? We're gunna get married as soon as yer all healed."
Emily smiled.
"How many kids are we gunna 'ave?" she asked as she reached for his hand.
"A set o' twins-a little boy an' a little girl. Then a little red head girl followed by a little black haired boy," Ragetti said as he watched Emily's eyes shut.
"I'd like tha'," Emily whispered before falling asleep.
"Meh too...meh too," Ragetti whispered before kissing her forehead.
