Chapter Sixteen

"Jack?!?!?!?!" Elizabeth shouted in panic. Jack just starred back at her with big eyes. He then slowly started to walk over to her.

He gave her a nervous half smile. "Ello Elizabeth." He said nervously.

"What brings you back her, she said very coldly."

"..I read ye note." He said in an ashamed way.

Elizabeth looked him dead in the eye, "You don't know how much trouble you got me into, and you don't know how much pain you've put me through! Everyday after you left I wished that you would come after me! Everyday Jack! Do you know how much that hurt??? I had to give up something so precious to me, and its your fault!!!" Elizabeth screamed.

"...I never want to see you again Jack, and I swear that Pearl will never meet you either." She said still looking dead in the eye.

Jack was stunned, he didn't know what to say to that. "Wait, who is Pearl?"

Elizabeth didn't answer, she simply walked away like she didn't hear his words.

Jack stood there for a moment thinking about this. Then he realized he was close by the blacksmiths shop. He decided to go see Will. He had nothing better to do now that Elizabeth wasn't going to talk to him.

When he finally reached the shop, he pounded on the door. Moments later the door opened with Will behind it. "Jack? That you?" Will said in disbelief. "Aye, mate." Jack said with a smile.

"Come in!" Will said happily. Jack walked in and looked around. "Hasn't changed much since last time I's was here."

Will ignored the comment, "So have you seen Elizabeth yet?" Will asked.

"Uh...yes actually I have." Jack said with an idiotic smile on his face.

"That's good, she said she missed you, did she have anything to say?"

"No, not really....she was pretty quiet." Jack said a bit nervous.

"Oh well she's probably just tired." Will said a wink. Jack knew what Will meant and laughed uneasily.

"Oh yes, before I forget to ask you, how long are you staying this time?" Will asked.

'I don't know yet how long do ye want me to stay, mate?"

"At least until summer."

"Why might that be?"

"I want you to come to me and Elizabeth's wedding. Its in the summer." Jack's eyes widened.

"So ye are getting married eh?" Jack said trying to sound happy for his friend. "By the way, do you know anyone named Pearl? Elizabeth mentioned the name to me."

Will thought for a moment, "Probably just one of her friends she met while I was gone. Ya know she said she saw you a while ago."

"Oh did she now?"

"Aye she said you didn't stay long, you were only there for about a day."

"Is that so, well yes it be true I wasn't here very long. Just came to get some supplies since we's was close by."

"All right, well do you plan to stay for the wedding?"

Jack stood up as if he was going to leave. "Well I'll tell ye what, if I have nothing better to do with me self I'll come back here and watch ye get married to ye lass savvy?"

Will smiled, "So I'll take that has a yes then?"

"Maybe, we'll just have to wait and see." With that Jack tipped his hat, and walked out the door.

"I need a drink." Jack mumbled to himself. He decided to go find a tavern. He found the closes one, and walked right in. He sat on the nearest stool and yelled for some rum. Moments later a big glass of rum was placed in front of him.

Jack smiled and picked up the glass. He gulped it all down, and then ordered another one. He took the second one and drank all down even faster.

~**~**~**~

It was now completely dark out, and Jack was drunk. He stumbled through town, and what people were out looked at him very strangely. He stumbled over to the docks and onto the pearl. There he found Gibbs and the rest of the crew.

Some were sleeping on deck, others were walking around cleaning the ship. Gibbs was standing off to the side looking up at the moon. Jack stumbled over to talk, but before any words could come out he hung his head over the side of the ship, and vomited.

Gibbs looked over and laughed. "Ye are not one to lose ye drink, something wrong?" Gibbs said still laughing. Jack just turned and gave Gibbs an angry glare. Jack stood up straight, and wiped his mouth.

"I be back later, mate." Jack said. With that Jack stumbled back off the Pearl, and back into town. He was half way back to Will's shop when he blacked out, and fell to the ground. That would be Jack's bed for the night.


~**~**~**~

The next morning Jack awoke with the feeling of something poking him. He opened one eye, and saw what looked like a young little boy starring at him, and poking him with a stick. Jack opened his other eye, and noticed other children around him, playing and laughing.

"He ain't dead mama!!" the little boy with the stick shouted. A woman rushed over and shooed the children away. The children screamed and laughed and ran away. The woman sighed and starred at Jack.

"Ye be alright sir?" the woman asked. Jack sat up and put his hand on his head.

"Just a headache but I'll be fine." Jack replied. With the woman's free hand she helped Jack up.

"Thanks very much." Jack said with a little smile. He noticed there were a lot of children around here, and in the woman's other arm was a little baby.

"Uh miss where might I's be?"

The woman smiled, "Ye be in Port Royal, this is the orphanage. I'm Suzette I own this place. See the child over there? The one with the stick that be James he's me real son. The others are the orphans." She said sadly.

"Ah, and who might this little one be here in ye arms?" Jack asked while pointing at the baby.

"This be the newest to our family. She was brought here about two months ago. Her name be Pearl or at least that's what the mum said before she came here."

The little baby starred curiously at Jack. She had beautiful big dark brown eyes. Just like his. The woman looked at Jack, and then back at Pearl.

"Ya know, you two look a lot alike." She laughed a little, "Maybe ye might be the father." She said in a joking way.

"She does have me good looks." Jack said sarcastically. Suzette paused for a moment and then looked at Jack.

"Would ye like to come in for some tea?" she asked. Jack thought for a moment.

"I'd love to. Some tea might do me some good for me head." The three then walked into the house. Inside was a small area with a beat up sofa, and a table with some candles on it. There were toys scattered around the room.

To the left of the room was a door that led to the kitchen. It was small it had large table with chairs all around it.

"Have a seat." Suzette said very friendly. Jack took a seat and looked around the room. Suzette walked over, and handed him some tea. She then laid Pearl down in a dour with blankets in it. Pearl just looked around at everything with her curious eyes.

"This should help with ye head sir."

"Jack, Captain Jack, but ye can call me Jack." He said with a smile. Suzette smiled and took a sip of tea. Jack cleared his throat and then asked, "So about do ye know who the mother was?" he asked very causally.

"I'm afraid I don't know. All I know is that the woman came from a rich family so I don't know why she had to give Pearl up. Pearl be a very sweet thing. She barely ever cries and she is very curious." Suzette said while starring at Pearl laying the dour.

Jack turned and looked her as well. He had to admit that she did look a lot like him. She had his eyes, and from what hair she had it looked like his color. Jack then walked over to where Pearl was laying.


The two starred at each other, and then Pearl gave him a toothless smile. Jack chuckled and then walked back over to Suzette. He placed the glass on the table.

"Well Suzette, I want to thank ye for the tea, but I best be going. Me crew should be wondering where I be." With that he tipped his hat and walked out the door.
