Bill´s pov
Someone was calling my name from downstairs. I yawned and rolled out of my bed. Can't a boy get a decent night's sleep around here. Jackie in her room next to mine was playing the piano half the night anyway.
"Bill, Jackie, hurry up a bit."
"Yeah, Dad!"
I walked down the stairs. Of course I was only wearing my night shirt, but I couldn't have cared less. No one proper would come here at this time of the night.
"Aye, if that isn't the young Bill!"
I did not recognise the voice so I decided it might do some good to open the eyes enough to see more that the vague image of the stairs to keep me from falling. Before me stood a man that was in quite a shape. His clothes were dirty and grandpa would have considered them rags. He wore a weird hat and when he grinned I could she a flash of gold. He wore his hair long and some colourful pearls and cloth had been put into it. Who the hell was that man? I must have starred at him rather sheepishly, because he began to laugh and ran a hand over my head, messing my hair.
"Hey, sleepy head, ya not recognising good ol´ cap´n Jack Sparrow, the man your Mommy and daddy told you so much about?"
Captain Jack Sparrow? In no time I was wide awake.
"Man, you are Captain Jack Sparrow. Wow. I mean. I didn't think you were so dirty..."
The captain looked at me. I didn't quite know what to make of the expression on his face, but then he laughed out loud.
"Boy, you really take after your dear parents!"
Suddenly I heard footsteps on the stairs. Jackie was coming down.
"Ah, I believe this is the child you wouldn't let me hold, because you were afraid Id drop her, right, whelp? The girl with the gorgeous name?"
Dad rolled his eyes. My sister is after all named after Jack. The pirate now noticed Jackie´s haircut.
"What the... interesting how you got your hair, kid."
"She insisted to get it cut this short. We did forbid it, but Jackie stopped listening to us, when she turned 6." Mum explained, a little tense.
I could see some pride lighting up in my sister´s eyes, like angering Mum and Dad was the greatest achievement ever made. In fact, Captain Jack seemed to think something similar.
"Don´t worry, kids. That´s a good sign. She´s gonna make a good pirate."
"Nah, not in this life." Dad was suddenly really annoyed.
"Whelp, whatever happened to the memory of your own days of piracy."
"I know, but I wish at least for my children to live proper."
"Boy, I tell you, were they mine, I would have taught them how to steer a ship as soon as they could stand."
When he said that something hit Mum and Dad like a lightening.
"Jack there is something..."
"Yeah, darling, what´s up?"
"Ahm.. we need to talk to you I believe." She looked at Dad and he nodded in agreement.
"Jackie, Bill, will you please go upstairs. You should be asleep anyhow. I´m not gonna make any comment on that one.
"But..." Jackie wanted to protest.
"That´s all right, kid. Ya Mum ´n Dad sure got some important business with the captain."
I´m not sure why, but Jackie shut her mouth and went upstairs without further complains. I wished he was around more often to shut her up. I went upstairs ,too, but unlike Jackie, who began an sword fight with her shadow in her room, I went down again, carefully avoiding the stairs that made noises. I climbed on top of the large cupboard and crawled through the hole in the wall, only I knew of. It was pretty small anyhow and it get´s harder to get through it each year, but I still manage to. The hole leads directly into the kitchen. One is well hidden by the side of the kitchen oak board that nearly reaches the top of the kitchen at this point. Also the kitchen is very dark at this time of the day, so I can easily listen to them. I do not seem to have missed anything important.
"..you trying to tell me?"
"Jack, don´t be stupid. This isn´t easy for any of us."
"But I don´t understand..."
"Jackie is your daughter." Mum said in a shaking voice. I risked a look down and could see the captain sitting in one of the kitchen chairs, looking like someone had just hit him.
"Aye... that sure is something."
He looked at Dad and I couldn´t quite read the expression on his face.
"Man, whelp, I´m... I... well, most certainly didn´t mean to. But I tell you, as much as I remember- I was pretty drunk, even for me- Elisabeth was pretty into it as well. Man. Captain Jack is really speechless for the first time in his life."
"For being speechless you talk quite a lot," dad replied coolly.
"Arg, I´m gonna stay with boys, I can tell you. At least you didn´t end up pregnant. Furious: yes. With child: No. I tell you."
"Jack, what are you talking about?" Mum asked slowly, and I was sure she was just narrowing her eyes dangerously.
"Didn´t you tell her, whelp?"
"Tell her what? That you got me drunk in order to bed me?" Dad nearly shouted.
"For god´s sake I didn´t get you drunk, you got drunk and then came to me! Hell!"
"Will... why didn´t you tell me?"
I crawled out of the room. I didn´t know what to make of it. This clearly was one of the conversations I wouldn´t have minded missing. What did they say? Jackie... Jackie wasn´t my sister... but... I sure couldn´t believe that. I.. no. I just didn´t know what to think. I didn´t even start to dwell on what Dad said about the Captain bedding him. I came out of my hiding place and saw someone standing by the door, listening carefully at the door.
"Hey, Jackie." I whispered.
She turned to me and the confusion and terror in my eyes mirrored the one in hers.
"Bill, what are they trying to say? I..:"
"Jackie... do you think Captain Jack is your...Dad?"
Last A/N: Now, I want to tell you something, I meant to all the way long... I know, my Will & Elisabeth are having a great marriage and are very much in love and everything... BUT I REALLY think, that in the movie, everyone had some chemistry: Elisabeth and Jack, Jack and Will.... every couple would have been gorgeous ... exept for... you guess... Elisabeth and Will !!!!!!!!!!
