AN: I'm sorry for not updating sooner! I just started school again this
past Wednesday and life has been hectic! However, I will make it up with
this chapter.
ElfandTonic: Lol, good point, but Will is going to show up in the next couple of chapters and he's going to be making a large impact on Katherine's life. But never fear: Jack and Elizabeth's newfound relationship plays a major role in this story.
Olemma: Updating!
Len: **Blushes** Awww thanks, and I'm trying to roughen Jack up a bit. And I am planning on explaining Jack and Elizabeth's romance in depth in the next few chapters. Thanks so much for your comments, they've helped my writing immensely!
Pineapple1: Referring to your comment about Katherine's bruise, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of Jack's anger...It will all be explained soon, I promise!
Thanks go out to SpAnIsH-EyEs2, cyan novella and shiomei for their supportive and encouraging reviews!!!
Disclaimer: I wish I did, but I don't own Johnny Depp OR Orlando Bloom OR anything having to do with Pirates of the Caribbean, although I DO have a beautiful poster...but enough of that. Don't sue me, there's nothing to sue for, k?
Chapter 2: When Your Back Is Turned
Elizabeth's eyes widened. Jack had a son???? As she stared at him in shock, a voice called from the doorway, "Now Jack Sparrow, don't be scarin' your lady friend with such talk."
Katherine shook her head. "Don't be fretting Elizabeth. It's not the way that the dunderhead over there made it out to be." Kat carried over a tray of tea and biscuits, sitting down on the chair facing Jack and Elizabeth. "You may as well know the entire story."
"Let me be the one tellin it luv. She is my lady bird, savvy?" Jack butted it in. When Katherine nodded slightly, he cleared his throat.
"I've known Kat here for many years. 'Bout four years ago, she met a fellow where she was workin at the time, The Faithful Bride. Big bloke, not too bright in the head but handsome enough for any lass to be wantin a second glance. My Kat being the smart lass she is didn't pay this Richard fellow no mind, but he paid her plenty in return. He wore her down and they became lovers. Savvy so far luv?" Jack questioned. Elizabeth nodded tightly.
"Al'right then. Well Kat finds out she's carryin and naturally is a little panicky, seeing she was about 15 at the time. I of course didn't find out until a few months later, but apparently our dear friend Richie makes himself comfortable in her room. When I show up after plunderin me share, I go to Kat's room to check up on the lass. I open the door and find the bastard knockin her over like she were nothin, five months along and all. I get a little carried away."
Katherine's eyebrows shot up. "All right, I beat the bloody crap out of the bastard. He deserved it, the bloody coward. Now I wanted ter bring her aboard the Pearl but she refused me. So I set her up in this here house, send her some of me plunder and she raises the whelp over there. Savvy Lizzie darlin?" Jack ended.
"Aye, Elizabeth, tis all he does for me." Katherine told her.
"Aye Jack I believe you." Elizabeth smiled. Jack sighed dramatically with relief. "So you won't be mindin if I do this, would you luv?" he teased as he leaned down for a kiss. It lasted for several minutes and when they broke apart Elizabeth was giggling and smiling happily at Jack, who was looking down at her in an adoring manner.
"You never mentioned how you two met." Katherine carefully supplied, concealing the wide smile that was threatening to cross her face. The couple looked at each other, grinned, and promptly began to tell their story.
Hehe, I'm evil, for you will have to hit the review button and read the next chapter. Shameless, yes I know, but I can't help it.
