Chapter 6: A Proposal
Night had finally come and Kaitlin was out on her balcony. She gripped the railing firmly and looked out over the bay. "I have everything I want now. My love came back, his father is around, and my own family is accepting the fact that I'm in love.so.why am I not happy?" She looked up at the moon and stars which seemed to shine from heaven. Quietly she mumbled a song she had heard somewhere before:
"I've got it all, but I feel so deprived.
I go up, I come down, and I'm emptier inside.
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing,
And why can't I let it go?"
Her voice began to get louder as she continued and the wind started to blow faster and harder. It was like someone was listening to her.
"There's gotta be more to life.
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.
Cause the more that I'm.
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure.there's gotta be more,
Than wanting more."
Captain Sparrow had quietly entered Kaitlin's room and heard someone singing. "Beautiful voice," he said quietly as he crept to the open door leading out onto the balcony. He saw a woman standing there, facing away from him singing.
"I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly.
Here in this moment, I'm halfway out the door.
Onto the next thing, I'm searching,
For something that's missing.
There's gotta be more to life.
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.
Cause the more that I'm.
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure.there's gotta be more,
Than wanting more."
The Captain took a few steps toward her and stopped, knowing that if he took another step, she would turn around a slap him hard as payback for startling her.
"Than waiting on something other than this.
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.
Always.Always.
There's gotta be more to life.
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me.
Cause the more that I'm.
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life.
Well it's life, but I'm sure.there's gotta be more,
Than wanting more."

Kaitlin took a deep breath and sighed after she stopped singing. She looked back up at the stars and a smile appeared on her face. "Great song." Kate turned around and met the eyes of Captain Jack Sparrow. "How long have you been standing there.on MY balcony?"
"Long enough to hear that you want more out of life than what you have." Kaitlin walked toward him with her finger pointed in his face. "That's my business.not yours and you have no right to be in my bedroom." Jack grabbed the finger that was in his face and smirked. "First of all, I'm not in your bedroom.I'm on your balcony, and second of all."
"What's wrong.can't come up with a second reason?" The Captain stepped closer to Kate and locked his eyes with hers, forcing her to panic. His body was almost pressed against her and they just kept on gazing at each other. After what seemed like forever, Kaitlin took a step back and ended up with her body against the railing. "You have no right to be that close to me, Sparrow!"
"Well, you didn't seem to mind for the few moments that we were close.and it's the only way to shut you up," he said sarcastically.
"Mr. Sparrow.if you think you can manipulate me and play with my head, don't. The only reason I may.just may have enjoyed you being that close is the fact that I confused your appearance with your son's. After all, you look almost the same."
"Besides my son, is there anything else you want?"
"I know there has to be more to life than what I have, but I don't know where to find it. I mean.I have my family, you, and your son who I truly love."
"Did you ever tell him that?"
"Yes.right before you left. They were pretty much my last words to him."
"Does he love you?"
"Yes, he told me, and I care about him more than anything. Is that a problem?"
"No.not at all-"
"Then why are you out here on my balcony this late at night?" The Captain was about to say something, but he went deathly quiet. He could only stare at Kaitlin and smirk. "Do you find something funny?"
"No.nothing at all, Miss Turner. I just had a crazy idea," Jack said as he turned around and started to walk inside. Kate grabbed his arm and pulled him back, forcing him to turn around. "What's your idea?"
"Nothing that would interest you," he said smiling.
"Just tell me, damn it!"
"Okay.you see.I know you want more out of life than what you have."
"Of course you do.I just said it."
"That's not the point. It's the fact that when I spent time with you a while ago, I grew to love you as a daughter.although if you were my daughter, you'd be dating your brother." Kaitlin couldn't help but smile, even though she wasn't in the best mood. "See.there's that smile," Sparrow said as he touched the corner of her mouth.
"Don't bother trying to cheer me up.just continue with what you were saying."
"Now, since I always seem to think of you as my daughter.and you love my son.and you want a better life.maybe you would like to travel as a member of my crew."
