A/N- To Elf-Vulcan, Christa is actually the name of my cousin. If any of you have any more questions I'll be happy to answer them.

CHAPTER 2- Mad Henry Baldwin

"Dad, ah," Christa asked, "That was the son of Will Turner? The Will Turner?"

"Yep." Jack Sparrow looked down at his daughter. "I figured it'd be a son for them. How I got stuck with a daughter..."

Christa pushed him playfully, "What a joke."

"Really," he scratched his chin. "You think so?"

"Uh-oh." Christa muttered. She slowly moved behind her father.

"Uh, yeah. It's your mother." Jack scrunched his face up ready for the blow up.

The dark skinned woman who previously steered the Interceptor during the Aztec Curse Crisis strode down the landing ramp and faced her family. "So, followed were we?" she asked pointedly.

"Ah, let's just say it was more a matter of, well, of..." Jack strayed off.

"Just what I thought, the famous Jack Sparrow has no excuse." she glared at them.

Jack pointed to Christa, "She did it."

"Dad!" Christa stepped out from behind her father. "Mom, it was the son of Will and Elizabeth Turner. It couldn't be that bad."

"Will and Elizabeth?" her eyebrows raised. "Well, under the circumstances, and the fact that they are somewhat friends of the family, I guess you're off the hook." she smiled. "Come on. I see the food has arrived."

"Dad! Dad!" James cried as he ran into the blacksmith's shop.

Will peeked around the corner. "Yes?"

Trying to catch his breath, James sat down. "You'll never guess who I just met!"

"Who? Couldn't be Jack Sparrow could it?" Will asked with a frown.

James stared at his father. "How did you know?"

Will looked impressed, "I didn't really think it was him. Just a lucky guess." He shrugged. "So, what happened?"

"Well, remember that pirate on the loose who was supposedly in the shop?" From Will's encouraging nod, he continued. "There actually was one. And you'll never guess who it was!"

"Jack?"

"No! His daughter!" James shouted.

"Wow, some important topic of conversation I'm not aware of?" Elizabeth asked walking into the room with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Mom, I met Captain Jack Sparrow! And his daughter!" James said excitedly. "I also saw The Black Pearl, and whoa, it was beautiful! I can't believe that you two actually got to sail on it."

"He has a daughter?" She cocked her head to one side. "Tell me all about it."

(Somewhere in a port on the edge of Spain)

Many people crowded the streets, pirate and civilian alike. Some soldiers littered the crowd. One pirate, by the name of Mad Henry Baldwin, was not paying any attention to his mates who were speaking to him. Instead, he was staring at a lone monkey, wandering the streets with what seemed to be a real gold necklace and pendant. Holding up his hand to silence them, he slowly pointed at the creature, "There be treasure with this little 'un." he said.

Smiling and laughing alike, his mates crept up to the monkey and snatched it. Screaming madly, it tried to squirm out of it's captor's grasp but to no avail. Henry walked up to the thing, snatching up the gold he grinned. "Real gold. Solid." What he hadn't noticed was that the gold was in fact engraved with special markings and the picture of a head. Then realization struck him, 'This is a piece of the Aztec gold my friend Barbosa was cursed with!'

*

(Days later on the Buckler)

"This curse is not a curse at all!" Henry shouted to his crew. "This is a gift! With this, we can destroy towns and ships alike and gather all the treasure we could ever want!"

His crew yelled and shouted their agreement. Turning to the captain, they waited expectantly. With a sly smile, he said, "There are two people who must pay dearly for the death of my friend Captain Barbosa. We must capture The Black Pearl!"

*

Still docked at the British port, The Black Pearl waited while it's captain and his daughter made their way to the smith's shop. When they got there, they were waved inside quickly so as not to attract attention. "How are you?" Will asked Jack as the two old friends met for the first time in fifteen years.

"Not bad, not bad." Elizabeth gave him a hug. "I see you're the same as ever." Jack said.

"I assume you've met our son, James." Elizabeth said. "He's told us all about his meeting with you." James's cheeks began to redden.

"Did he now?" Jack began to laugh. "Reminds me of someone I know. Getting excited about meeting a pirate."

"If you're talking about me, you're clearly mistaken." Will smiled. "I know I would have killed you given the chance."

"Ah, but no chance was awarded to ya." Jack pointed out. Looking down and seeming to notice his daughter for the first time he jumped slightly and said, "I don't think you've met my daughter, Christa."

Elizabeth shook her hand and Will looked at her thoughtfully. "Well, she certainly looks like you." he told the pirate. "Especially that expression she's wearing."

They all laughed at that which made her scowl. Her father's friends always made fun of her, no matter what she did. Suddenly, the door burst open and one of Jack's mates collapsed in. Jack and Christa quickly ran to him. "Billy, what's wrong?" Christa asked.

"The- the Pearl's under attack."
