Chapter 7: Suggestions and Orders
Kaitlin's eyes widened and she seemed stunned. "Miss Turner.Miss Turner." She wouldn't answer. Her mouth just dropped open. The Captain raised his hand to her chin and shut her mouth. "What are you trying to do, catch flies?"
"Jack, what did you say?"
"Are you trying to catch flies with that mouth.why?"
"No.before that."
"Oh.I asked if you wanted to travel aboard my ship."
"Why would you want ME there? After all, I'm a pain to deal with. You'll throw me overboard after a day!"
"Did I do that last time?"
"Well.no.but-"
"See what I mean? I can put up with you and my son wants to be with you more than he actually can. It would be impossible for us to stay here."
"That's what my father said the other day."
"Just think about it and let me or Jack know before tomorrow night," the Captain said as he touched Kate's shoulder, "Goodnight Kaitlin." She watched him leave and then looked back at the bay once again. A life aboard the Black Pearl or a life here at Port Royal.my home? This was a tough decision. She realized that she had a choice of whether to live where she had grown up, with men hanging over her.or she could travel the world with Captain Jack and his son, who she wanted to be with more than anything. "I'll sleep on this one," she said quietly as she ran back into her bedroom and went to sleep.
The next morning, Will awoke with his daughter sitting on the bed next to him. "Kaitlin.you startled me.what are you doing in here?"
"Father.can I talk to you?" He nodded and got out of bed, throwing his bathrobe on over his nightshirt. "Let's go downstairs." Kaitlin followed him and they sat down in the sitting room. Will looked at his daughter and noticed sadness in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Dad.Jack and his father are leaving tomorrow."
"Yes, and then you will get back together with David Norrington."
"What are you talking about?"
"I heard that Jack hit Mr. Norrington for no reason." Kaitlin stood up and rage filled her eyes and heart. "You heard this from.?"
"Commodore Norrington, why?"
"And you believe him? I thought you and the Commodore despised each other."
"We do, but he informed me about the fight and I'm forced to consider that the information is true."
"REALLY? Well, did he also tell you that his cousin hit me in the jaw? Just look at the corner of my mouth," she replied forcefully as she pointed to the small cut on her face.
"I know you don't like Dave that much, but he is of your status and Jack.well.he isn't-"
"And are you of my mother's status?" Will stood up and stomped his foot on the ground. "I had hoped it wouldn't come to an argument, but the Commodore and I have agreed that you and his cousin shall be married at the end of the month!"
"NO, I WON'T MARRY HIM! ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS HIMSELF!"
"I'm sorry about this, but you have to marry him." Kate ran out of the room and down to the docks in her nightgown. She saw Young Jack Sparrow standing there, facing the ocean, so she ran to him. He heard loud footsteps coming toward him, so he turned around and found Kaitlin in his arms. "What's wrong?"
"My father doesn't want us to be together. He wants me to marry David Norrington," she said as she looked up at Jack, tears running down her face. Jack stroked Kate's face with his palms, pushing her long hair out of her face and locking eyes with her. She gulped and waited patiently for him to kiss her. He then kissed her forehead and smiled. "Did you talk to my father?"
"Yes," she replied softly, "And he wants me to travel with you."
"If you don't want to marry this David Norrington fellow, then come with us. We travel everywhere and nothing keeps us from where we want to go."
"My mother wants me to be happy, but she doesn't stand up for me as often as she used to."
"You ARE an adult and should live your own life. Nothing should keep you from your freedom." She looked toward the ground and another tear fell down the side of her cheek. "Kaitlin, what's holding you down?"
"My father. He thinks he knows what's best for me just because he's older than me. I know he loves me, but it's so hard to deal with the fact that if I disobey him enough, I could be kicked out of my home.because it's his." Jack lifted Kaitlin's chin so her face was tilted up toward him. "You know, I wouldn't hold you down.and neither would my father."
"That's why I love you," she replied as Jack gave her a gentle kiss. Kate's arms wrapped around his neck and his hands did not leave her face. When he let go of her, he whispered, "I love you too. Do you know how long I've waited to say that?"
"Five years," Kaitlin said with a smile as she rested her head on Jack's chest. Maybe he's right about traveling.maybe I should do it she thought to herself as she relaxed in his gentle embrace.
