Disclaimer: I really hate doing this… I own Caden, the plot, and Jacob.

A/N: Thanks to my reviewers. If any of you are having trouble picturing what Caden or Jacob look like this should help. Jacob looks like the young Will Turner in the movie, maybe only a little younger. I know he doesn't look all that great, but just think of how he'll look when he's older. *wink* Caden acts like Jack more than she looks like him. She's got light brown/dark blonde hair that is usually in a pony tail like thing. She has dark blue eyes and a few freckles. Since she's still young, she still has that kinda baby face. I know this note is really long, but maybe it will you help you in reading this.



After Caden had left her new caretakers, she began wondering the ship. It was large and was obviously made by British sailors. The woodworking was wonderful and every board was placed perfectly. The soft grain of the painted wood shown elegantly in the moonlight. She felt safe on such a strong vessel. A slight rustling noise behind her caught Caden's attention. Ever so slowly, she bent down and pulled a small knife from the inside of her shoe. She had learned long ago that it was best to carry a weapon at all times in a town like Tortogua. With a soft turn of her head, she could see the shadow of a figure getting nearer. The rustling grew louder and closer to her. In one fast motion, she turned with the knife thrust out toward the person that had been making the movements.

"Bloody hell!" Jacob cried as Caden turned and placed her knife inches away from his throat. The second she realized who it was, Caden lowed her knife and placed it back within her shoe, mumbling an apology. "What were you tying to do?" Asked the still frozen boy.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. To many years in Tortogua I suppose," she responded.

"But that was amazing! How did you hear me? You must be like part animal or something!"

"Of coarse she's not part animal," came silky voice from the other side of the ship, "she's part Sparrow." Jack jumped off the railing he was standing on and made his way over to the two children, tossing his arm over Caden's shoulder. "I would like you to meet me crew." As he said this, more pirates began coming over the side of the ship. They all looked rugged and worn. All of which were men, except for one woman with dark skin. She was very pretty, but looked as dangerous as the others. As they climbed aboard, each gave a nod toward the children and made their way to their normal post. The last man aboard was a fellow by the name of Mr. Gibbs, who was sporting a large bruise on his right cheek. No doubt left there by Caden's mother, who was very upset that he hadn't relayed her message to Jack.

"Raise the anchors!" the woman shouted. Three men on each side of the boat grabbed hold of the anchors ropes and hauled them up. The same woman who had given the order, then made her way through the men and took her place at the helm. In a matter of moments, the ship was out of the bay that surrounded Tortogua, and was headed east. They sailed silently all night, while the Turners and their new guest slept in the lower chamber.



The next morning, Will was awoken by Elizabeth slightly giggling beside him.

"Will, Will wake up and take a look," she whispered in his ear. Slowly opening his eyes, he looked to his wife. With a smile in her face, she nodded toward where their son was sleeping. Since Caden's arrival was unexpected, her and Jacob were forced to share a bed. No one worried about anything happening between the two because they were still young and held a strong dislike for the opposite sex. But what they saw told them otherwise. The two, who the night before almost fallen out of the bed rather than lay close to each other, were now wrapped in each others arms. Jacob lay on his stomach with his arm thrown over Caden's waist. Caden lay on her side facing Jacob, with her arm laying lightly on his face. A smile escaped Will's lips as he gazed at the sight before him.

"Do you suppose we should wake them?" Elizabeth asked quietly.

"No. Let's let them discover their position on their own," he replied. Then slid out of bed with Elizabeth close behind. The two made their way to the main deck to greet Jack and the others. Elizabeth had passed out some breakfast for the crew while Will helped Jack navigate. A sudden shrill scream cut through the morning air.

"I suppose she's woken up," Will said to Elizabeth. She merely nodded her head in return.

Something tickled Caden's nose. It was like a light breeze, but she was inside, on a boat. All of that night happenings came back to her in a rush. As she began to regain conciseness, she felt the weight of something draped across her waist. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw the face of someone. His breath breezed across her face once again. Shaken by the boy's attendance, she let out a scream. This caused the boy to suddenly wake up and, upon seeing the girl next to him, he to screamed. Both shot up at the same time, backing away from each other. But Caden couldn't go to far, for she was sleeping on the side by the wall. Jacob had backed up until he was sitting on his parents bed.

"What is going on down here?" Jack asked as he made his way down the stairs to see what the screaming was about. When he was at the bottom of the stairs, he took one look at the to terrified faces and knew what was going on. "So I see waking up in the same bed didn't go as planned. Well I suppose I should be all fatherly and protect my daughter," So he cleared his throat and positioned himself in front of Jacob. "I never want to see you around my daughter again! Savvy?" he yelled in a strong voice. Jacob's eyes grew wide as he sunk back against the wall.

"Jack stop! You're being utterly ridiculous!" Caden matched her fathers voice level, "I don't even think you should call me your daughter! You had never even seen me until last night!" A sudden wave of guilt consumed Jack. He had been care free his entire life, following what ever mad adventure he was on at the time. But now he had a reason to end his life of a pirate. A reason to settle down and become a normal man with responsibilities. For the first time in his life, Jack Sparrow felt ashamed. He had spent one night with Rosa Lee, thinking that he would think up a lie the next morning to sneak out to his ship. He never dreamed that one of his one-night-stands would catch up with him. So then and there, he made a silent promise to Caden that he would become her father. Sure he was her father by blood, but then he would act like her father also. After all, the wind can not go one direction for ever. It must change its coarse every now and then. And for Jack, he would change for the better. Although, nothing could ever change Jack Sparrow's humorous attitude.

"You're right love," Jack replied after the long moment of silence, "But seeing as how we will be spending time together on this little boat, we should accept the fact that we are related. Like it or not, were stuck together, savvy?"

"Savvy," answered Caden as she held out her hand for Jack to shake. But instead, he swept her up in an un-Jack-like hug. After a few more moments, they separated and Jack went back up to the dock.

"This is going to be a long trip," Jacob muttered under his breath.

"You know, I think you're right," Caden replied as she sat on the bed she had slept in the night before.

"How long do you think we'll be out here?" Asked Jacob as he made his way over to his trunk to put on a clean shirt.

"I don't know. Will said we were going after a treasure in the east, but I can't shake the feeling that Jack's after something else," she answered while staring at nothing.

"What do you know, you're just a girl."

"If I'm just a girl then why did you ask me?" Jacob seemed to be pondering the question as he tied his hair tighter in it's string.

"I thought you might have a good answer, but I was wrong."

"You seem to be wrong a lot."

"Shut up," he scolded while climbing the ladder out of the chambers.

"This is definitely going to be a long trip," she said to herself as she laid back on the bed.
