Chapter Seventeen
Jack shut the door, and looked outside. He could see that he was close to Will's shop, but he forgot why he was going there. Jack shrugged and decided to go there anyway. He had nothing better to do so what the heck.
He walked for a few minutes, and then reached the shop. He knocked and yelled for Will. He could hear a thud and then a Will speaking in a low voice to someone. Will then opened the door, still straightening his shirt.
Jack chuckled and realized he had walked in on something. "Ello there mate" he said with a big smile on his face. Will gave him an embarrassed smirk and walked outside and shut the door behind him.
"Who ye got in there Turner?" Jack said with a smirk.
Jack rolled his eyes, "Elizabeth, of course!" Will said in an annoyed tone. Jack stopped smiling after he heard Elizabeth's name. There was silence for a moment and then Will looked up.
"Why don't you come inside for a moment, I bet Elizabeth would love to see ye." Will said happily. Jack's smile returned, "I'd love to." Jack said.
"All right, just wait here for a moment." Will walked back inside, and told Elizabeth that Jack was coming in. Elizabeth sighed, and then grabbed her dress. "Give me a moment" she told Will.
A few minutes passed, and Jack was still waiting outside. Then Will came out again, and invited Jack in. He saw Elizabeth sitting in a corner adjusting her dress. Jack smiled and walked over to her. "Ello love." He said with a smile.
"Hello Jack." Elizabeth said not even looking at him. Will looked at them both, and figured there was something wrong. He thought they needed some time alone to talk. Will walked over and announced, "I'll be back, I need to go out, and get some stuff." Before they could answer he walked out the door.
They both just stood there for what seemed like forever saying nothing. Finally Jack spoke up and asked, "Who is Pearl?" Elizabeth looked up at him with fear in her eyes. She cleared her throat and responded, "Just a friend of mine, she is new in town."
"How new." Jack asked.
"About two months, her and her family sailed her about two months ago."
"Really, because I met someone named Pearl this morning. How old is your friend Pearl."
"She's eighteen." Elizabeth said.
"Well this Pearl was only two months old, I met her at the orphanage. Her mum gave her away about months ago." Jack said very casually.
Elizabeth looked up at him in shock. "Jack where is this going?" she said trying to hold back tears.
"I'm just saying I find it a little strange that I find a child that looks just like me at an orphanage. I know ye hiding something from me love, what is it?" Jack said a little angry.
A tear rolled down Elizabeth's cheek. She sighed and looked up at him. "Do you really want to know?" Jack nodded his head. Elizabeth took a deep breath, and then wiped away her tears.
"Remember the night we spent together?" Elizabeth asked. Jack smiled and laughed a little, "Yeah I do." Elizabeth rolled her eyes.
"Well after I left, about three weeks after I found out I was....pregnant with your child." Jack's eyes widened. He had considered the fact, but didn't think it was going to be true.
"Jack, Pearl is your daughter, alright? I gave her up because I didn't think I'd see you again, and I didn't want Will to find out. But after I saw her and held her I didn't want to let her go. You do not know how much I want her back. I think about her everyday.....just like I think about you."
Jack was about to say something, but then Will walked back in. "Hope I didn't take too long." Will said with a smile. He saw that Elizabeth looked like she had been crying.
"Elizabeth, are you alright??" Will asked a little bit worried.
"Yes, yes I'm fine. I just have something in my eye, its driving me crazy."
Will relaxed a little bit and then looked at Jack. Jack just kept starring at Elizabeth with pain in his eyes. He then noticed that Will was starring at him. "Well I think it be time for me to leave. Ye should come and see me on me ship tomorrow. Until then I be out." He leaned down and made it look like he was hugging Elizabeth, but instead he whispered in her ear, "I'm going to go get me..our Pearl back."
He then stood up straight and walked over to Will. He shook Will's hand and then walked out the door. He began to walk quickly back to the orphanage. When he finally arrived he pounded on the door, and Suzette answered it.
"Ah ello again Jack." She said cheerfully.
"Where be Pearl?" Jack said with panic in his voice. Suzette's smile changed to a sad look.
"I'm sorry Jack, but Pearl was adopted. Moment's after ye left a couple came in looking for a child and saw Pearl. Theys decided they wanted her. I am truly sorry Jack." Suzette said sympathetically.
"But ye don't understand...she be mine. Pearl be me daughter!" Jack said in a worried tone. "Ye need to tell me where they be."
Suzette paused and then said, "They said they be heading out this afternoon, if ye hurry ye might be about to catch them. They didn't look like a very wealthy family, so they probably will have a little ship."
Without answering Jack left. He ran to the docks, and searched for what Suzette had described. He checked every ship in the docks but none of them seemed to have what he was looking for. That was it. Pearl was gone.
Jack didn't know what to do, he had never felt like this before. He felt like someone had taken his life away. He barely even knew Pearl until this morning, but he wanted her back. The only problem was he didn't know where to find her.
He sighed and stood there for a moment looking at the sea. One day he would find her, and then himself, Pearl, and Elizabeth could all live together. He had lost both of the girls he cared most for in his life.
A/N: Okie dokie now he knows the truth, but will he ever find Pearl? Do I smell a sequel?? Lol maybe, maybe not. Well anyway please review and tell me what you thought about this chapter, and what you think should happen next!! Oh yeah! Before I forget I bought more candy today *hands out king sized Hershey bars to everyone* Enjoy!! Peace out!!
