you read this. That disclaimer is the same as this one. I only own the

Chapter 3: Special Arrivals
Captain Jack Sparrow was looking at the horizon line as the sun rose. He had aged quite a bit over the past five years. His dark hair had turned gray, but it was still dark and ratty. His clothes were still the same, and he was still the best pirate around. "Father," he heard his son say as he walked up beside him, "Thank you."
"For what?"
"Letting me return here.to see her. Do you think she still loves me?"
"Son, she cared about you when you left.I know she still loves you, savvy."
"She won't recognize me."
"Yes she will.you just have to speak to her and look into her eyes deeply. Then she'll know for sure." Young Jack took a deep breath and watched as Port Royal came into view.hoping that Kaitlin would remember him.
Meanwhile, Kaitlin was stressed, so she darted to the blacksmith shop. Will was already there and was improving one of his swords. He looked at his daughter and continued working, pretending not to notice her. "Father." Will didn't answer her, so she walked closer to him. "Father.please listen to me." He threw down his sword and looked at Kaitlin. "Speak then.so I can get back to work."
"Father, I just.wanted to say that.that.I'm sorry for how I acted last night." Will took a step closer to her and gave her a stern look. "You embarrassed me."
"I said that I was sorry.don't you forgive me?"
"Of course I do.but you have to learn that you need to move on.and leave Jack behind you. He's not going to return." A tear ran down Kaitlin's face as she wrapped her arms around her father and rested her head on his shoulder. "He said he would return when it was safe."
"Kate.it will never be safe here for a pirate to live."
"But you're a pirate and you live here without problems.so.why is that?"
"I was granted clemency.pirates like Jack and his father are in grave danger here."
"I just miss him so much.I love him." Will let go of his daughter and looked her directly in the eyes. "You'll do fine in life.I promise."
At that moment, the Black Pearl was being tied up at the docks. The navy officers were nowhere in sight, so the Captain and his son darted up to Kaitlin's home and knocked on the door. Elizabeth opened it and her mouth dropped open. "Jack.you're not supposed to be here. If Commodore Norrington finds out." She couldn't speak when she realized that she was talking to the wrong Jack. She had been speaking to his son. When she looked to his left, Elizabeth saw Captain Jack Sparrow, who had only gotten older, but looked the same. "Both of you, inside quickly!" she yelled as she motioned them into the house and shut and locked the door behind them.
Will and Kaitlin strolled up the path at nightfall and opened the front door. The house was dead silent and dark. "Dad.what's going on?"
"Shh.it's never this dark here. Something's wrong." All of a sudden, Elizabeth came running out of a room and grabbed Will. Kaitlin was left alone in the dark. She glanced around and felt a chill run up her spine as someone dragged her up the stairs. When she was tossed into her bedroom, the lights came on and she saw Kelly standing there, holding the red dress that she had worn the day that the Captain had kidnapped her. "Kelly, what is this?"
"You must put this on and go down for dinner."
"Do not tell me that my parents set me up with another man.I don't want it." Kelly walked toward Kaitlin and rested her hand on her shoulder. "You must go down and see this man by the order of your parents.I'm sorry." Kaitlin respectfully nodded and put on her dress, makeup, and let her hair hang freely, the natural waves and curls flowing in the breeze that was entering through the window. "You look beautiful, Miss."
"Thank you.I guess I better get down there, right?"
"Off you go," she said as Kaitlin left the room, "And good luck." Kate made her way down the stairs and walked toward the light coming from the dining room. When she entered, her mouth dropped open and her eyes widened at what she saw.
