"Home!" Katherine squealed excitedly.
"Not yet, love." Jane smiled at her daughter. "We have to wait till nightfall, we don't old Jack getting caught with the navy here." Jane nudged her husband. He just smiled.
"MOM!" Jessy wined, "do I have to wear this dress, I can hardly breath!" Jessy gasped for air.
"I suppose you could loosen the corset." Jane sighed, "why are you wearing one of the those awful things?"
"She made me wear one." Jessy pointed at Katherine who had walked over to Jack. Jane sighed again, and then smiled.
"Come on love, let's get it off." Jane went towards the cabins.
"Thank god!" Jessy breathed hurrying after her mother.
"Will," Elizabeth sighed putting her head on her husband's shoulder, "I don't think Emma wants to leave."
"That's not surprising, she always loved pirates." Will smiled down at his wife and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Will." Elizabeth looked up, "I think there is more than the reason that she just wants to become one." Will's smile faded, and Elizabeth sighed. "You said she started to act a little strange when Jack and Davy came into town."
"Davy?" Will asked. Elizabeth shushed him, and nodded. Will smiled at his success to answer the question correctly, and then frowned. "Where is she?" He looked around the deck.
"She's right there, Will." Elizabeth smiled pointed towards the railing. Emma looked out towards Port Royal. Elizabeth looked closely at her daughter. She had a look of disgust on her face, almost. She looked sick and unwell. "Will, perhaps Emma doesn't want to go back to Port Royal."
"Perhaps she doesn't." Will noticed the look too. They looked at each other. "She's too young."
"She's fifteen." Elizabeth's eyes widened. "Today! We don't have anything planned what are we going to do?"
"Wish her a happy birthday." Will shrugged. Elizabeth put her hands on her hips. "Alright, we'll find her something when we get back in Port Royal." She smiled, and let her husband kiss her head.
Pearl looked down from the crow's nest at all the couples and the families. She smiled. None were like hers. Elizabeth and Will seemed made for each other, Norrington and Jane were odd since Jane was more outspoken than Norrington, Katherine and Jack who were just in love, (Pearl didn't mind seeing couples, but knew that she would never get married nor have any kids, in marriage), and she looked at her brother and Emma. Davy and Emma, she sighed, they world tried to get them together, Emma's note in society and Davy's lack. Emma was just trying to please everyone and get along in her society's limit of men she had. Her poor brother was trying so hard but not achieving. Pearl smiled as her father talked to his old friend. She laughed quietly to herself as he took a drink of rum. Pearl then looked out at Port Royal. She would, and could never have a life like that. She felt pity for the families below, enslaved they were to that life. Pearl became a little cold and decided to climb down from the crow's nest. She looked towards her father. Bootstrap rolled his eyes and walked away. Sparrow came towards her.
"Captain Sparrow!" Pearl smiled. "You save a bit of rum for your daughter?"
Emma sat on the stairs that lead up to the wheel of the ship. It was nightfall and she would be leaving any moment. Pearl came towards her, and sat down next to her.
"I feel bad for you girly." Pearl sighed. She took a swig of the bottle of rum she had.
"Why?" Emma asked, smelling the rum that was on Pearl's breath.
"You noble girls always think that you have to please others." Pearl shook her head, and took another drink, "but you don't!"
"Emma!" Elizabeth called. "We're leaving!"
"You don't have to please anyone but yourself." Pearl sighed. Emma stared at the girl and looked to her mother. Would she stay or go? To a life she was bored of, to a life that held nothing for her? Then Pearl looked at the bottle she was holding. "You haven't become a pirate till you gotten drunk." Pearl smiled, and Emma smiled
"Emma!" Will called.
"I'm staying!" Emma shouted, and ran over to her parents.
"What?" They both said.
"I'm staying." Emma smiled.
"But Emma you don't know how to..." Elizabeth started. She knew this was going to happen, but wasn't prepared for it.
"Mother," Emma sighed, "I'll be fine. They teach me how to take care of myself." Her parents looked at one another.
"Emma," Will sighed, "you know that a pirate's life isn't all glory, there's hardships and rough parts."
"I know," Emma smiled, "but the adventure, the life. I want to be a part of it, I can't go back to Port Royal it wouldn't be the same. Not after this."
"If its what you want." Elizabeth sighed, tears in her eyes and she looked at Will. Emma threw her arms over her parents.
"Thank you." She whispered and released them.
"Don't worry." Pearl walked over lazily over to them. "Davy will take care of her."
"That's what I'm afraid of." Will said under his breath. Emma blushed as Pearl said this but gave her father a harsh look.
"Governor," Norrington sighed, "We must be leaving."
"Mother," Emma held her mother's arm, "Give my apologies James."
"I will and this is our birthday present to you." Elizabeth nodded and hugged her daughter one last time before getting into the little boat. Katherine and Jack came closer, and they both looked at her.
"Aren't you coming?" Katherine asked. Emma shook her head and Katherine gave a sad smile.
"Don't worry I'll make it in time for the wedding." Emma smiled, and she hugged them both, Jessy came up behind them, pouting.
"She gets to stay?" Jessy stared at Emma.
"She's a little older than you!" Jane yelled from the tiny boat. "Get in here, Jessy!" She turned her attention towards Emma. "Good luck." With that they descended into the water's deep.
"So Ms. Turner you're staying with us?" Captain Sparrow slurred. Emma nodded. "Good. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl Ms. Turner." Emma smiled, and turned. Davy stood there smiling.
"You stayed?" Davy gave a soft laughed and moved towards her. Emma nodded. "For the adventure?"
"Not only the adventure." Emma smiled, and moved closer to him. The crew had gone off to do their work. Bootstrap watched from a distance smiling. "Davy, I love you." Emma's heart leaped when she said this and so did Davy's.
"Emma, I love you too." Davy tilted her head and kissed her. Emma gave in and finally kissed him too.
"Will what do you think would happen if we made Emma come with us?" Elizabeth asked as they finally arrived home.
"She wouldn't be happy." Will shrugged.
"Suppose we would do something different." Elizabeth sighed. "Suppose we would have another child..." Will looked at his wife. Elizabeth smiled with delight and so did Will. Elizabeth kissed her husband, and bade him good night.
Emma stood out front of the Black Pearl and looked outward. Davy was behind her snuggling her. She closed her eyes smelling the night air, and remembered a song her mother used to sing to her. Emma softly sang. "Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me."
"Not yet, love." Jane smiled at her daughter. "We have to wait till nightfall, we don't old Jack getting caught with the navy here." Jane nudged her husband. He just smiled.
"MOM!" Jessy wined, "do I have to wear this dress, I can hardly breath!" Jessy gasped for air.
