Greetings fellow Pirates lovers!!!! This is my first attempt at a Pirates
fic so let me know how I'm doing so far, k? And if any of you have read my
other fic "When You Say Nothing At All" forgive me for not updating since
like Christmas...I've lost my muse on that fic but never fear! I should be
getting it back shortly. Now enough blabbing, on to the story!
Disclaimer: **Sigh** I hate these stupid things! I DON'T OWN PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, DISNEY DOES!!!!!!! Jack and Will, sadly, also don't belong to me (oh the fun I would have..). However, Katherine and Joshua DO belong to me, as does the plot so back off scavengers!
Chapter 1: What You Need To Know
Captain Jack Sparrow looked out to the horizon. He was for once in his life utterly content. He had the Pearl, a loyal crew, lots of rum, and the love of his life by his side. Elizabeth and him had found their love for one another on the beach, denied it for Will's sake, but when Jack escaped his hanging, things changed. For starters, they gave into their passion (A.N. corny yes I know) and had explained to Will why and how this had happened. Luckily, Will slowly accepted their relationship, wanting only for Elizabeth to be happy.
But there was one tiny thing nagging Jack in the back of his mind. Actually, two somethings, both of which were situated in Tortuga. Something that nobody knew, except for Gibbs and Anamaria. A responsibility he took care of quietly, so as not to draw the attention of his crew to it. But he couldn't hide it from Elizabeth. Sighing, he drank his last bit of rum and headed towards his cabins.
He found Elizabeth rather easily, considering how small their living space was. She was sitting by the bed, mending something. He smiled slightly at a sight he thought he'd never see. Elizabeth looked up and smiled brightly. Putting aside her work, she walked over to her lover and kissed him, then wrapped her arms around his waist.
Inhaling her scent, Jack asked, "Luv, would ya mind if we stopped in Tortuga for a bit? There's somethin' I've been meanin' to show ya, savvy?"
"Of course Jack. What exactly do you want to show me?" Elizabeth questioned casually.
"Jus' a little something that you should see luv." Jack replied.
~*~*~*~
Jack pulled Elizabeth alongside him as he dodged quickly through the dirty streets of Tortuga, heading back towards the living area of the island. He was tense, not sure what Elizabeth would make of his 'surprise'. Meanwhile, Elizabeth was looking up curiously at the captain. It was rare for him to be this tense. Whatever he had to show her, Jack was obviously worried about her reaction.
They came upon a tiny street with clothes hanging everywhere, boxes stacked in front of windows, and children running between them. Elizabeth glanced questioningly at Jack, but he ignored the look and headed towards the end of the street. There they came upon a small building that Elizabeth assumed to be a home. Jack pulled her closer to it and knocked on the door.
There was the faint sound of footsteps coming toward them when the door swung open, revealing a petite woman. She had long, fiery red hair and large green eyes. She had no shoes and a worn out blue dress on but she seemed to brighten up when she caught a glimpse of Jack. However, Elizabeth quickly noted, there were shadows under her eyes and a dark bruise on the side of her face.
Jack also noticed this. But before he could open his mouth to comment, the woman flung herself at him. "Oh Jack, I didn't know you were coming! It's so good to see you!"
"Hello Katherine. What happened ter ya?" Jack asked, his voice dangerously low.
"Oh, never mind that. Come in! I have to go find Joshua, he's been dying to see you for the longest time..and would you look at this, Jack, you brought a friend with you and I almost didn't notice!" Katherine directed at Elizabeth. "Do forgive my manners, would you like some tea.?"
"This is Elizabeth Swann, Kat." Jack supplied as he entered the house, eyes narrowed. Katherine had dodged his question, but finally he decided to pry it out of her later.
"Elizabeth! Lovely name, always been fond of it myself. Why don't you sit down while I get tea?" Katherine said, ushering the couple into a small room and pointing to the sofa. Just as she was leaving the room, a small boy came streaking into the room and launched himself onto Jack's lap. "Uncle Jack! Are you staying with me and Mama?" the boy asked eagerly.
"No, I'm just here ter visit lad. But I did bring you this!" Jack said as he pulled out a fake sword. The boy let out a whoop and ran around the room with the sword. Elizabeth sat back in shock. Who were these people to Jack?
Jack noted the look on Elizabeth's face. "Elizabeth, this is Joshua."
He paused slightly, then added. "Lizzie, I've claimed him as me son."
AN: Hehe, I'm evil, I know, for leaving a cliffhanger. However, all you have to do is push the review button and I'll bring another chapter soon! Now I need to know, how have I captured Jack's character? I'm afraid I may have screwed it up, so please help me here! I promise more Will in later chapters!
