Chapter 11

Will woke up early the next morning to see how Nicole was doing. He was glad that she hadn't left. Thank you so much for not leaving me,he thought. I don't know what I'd do if you left me and my son again. I love you too much Nicole. Please don't ever do that to me again.

He looked over to the cradle. His son was still sleeping. He then left the room without waking either one of them. Oh I hope Jack's still here,he thought. He was glad to see that Jack hadn't left yet. Actually,Jack was downstairs waiting for him.

"How is she?"asked Jack

"She's fine. Still sleeping and so is my son,"said Will.

"That's good. To tell you the truth Will,I'm scared."

"About what?"

"About my daughter. I don't want her to do this again."

"Neither do I."

"I think I'm going to stay this time Will. Just to be safe."

"I think she's going to be fine Jack."

He sighed. "I know. But I care about her too."

"You do what you want Jack. I need to go to work." He sighed and smiled. "I guess it would be good if you stayed here. I'm worried about her just as much as you are Jack. But what happens to the Pearl?"

"Don't worry about that ship. She'll be fine with Anamaria. I trust her."

"I would. Well,I'm off then,"and he left the house."

That day at work was jus the same. Will was happy to be back. But he was worried about Nicole. He didn't want her to leave again. But he knew that he could trust Jack. He was his best friend after all,and Nicole was his daughter.

I've got to stop worrying so much,he thought. Nicole's going to be fine.

But soon the door swung up. And there at the door,stood Nicole. Will couldn't believe that she was here once again. He put his stuff down and ran over to her.

"Nicole! What's wrong?"he asked as he hugged her and kissed her.

"It's my father."

"Oh god. What happened?"

"They're after him again."

"Who's after him again?"

"The pirates. The ones that kidnapped our son. They've come to kill my father."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I saw them this morning."

He opened the door and saw some people running by the blacksmith shop. Then Will recognized them. They were the pirates! "Oh Christ."

"What are we going to do? Our son is there."

"Shit. I don't want you to stay here."

"Then let me go with you."

"No. Look,if Norrington doesn't already know,tell him to raise the alarm. I don't want your father getting killed either."

"But what if Commodore Norrington doesn't listen to me?"

"Trust me. He will. Just go ok?"

She nodded.

"One more thing."

Yes?"

He drew her closer and they embraced. "I love you."

"I love you too Will."

"Thank you for not leaving me this time."

"I couldn't. I love you...and my son."

He kissed her again.

"Well,I guess I had better go then." She then dashed out of the blacksmith job and down the street. But she didn't get too far because soon she was captured by the pirates. "Let me go!"

"'Ello poppit."

"Dammit! Let go of me!"

"Nicole!"yelled a voice. It was Jack. "Let go of my daughter!"

"You know this woman?"

"Unhand her now!"

"Answer the damn question!"

"Yes. She's my daughter. Unhand her now."

By this time the pirate had a knife to Nicole's throat and Jack was pointing a pistol to his head. "Really? I didn't know the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow had a daughter."

"No one did...until now. Now do as I say!" By this time Jack was getting irritated. The pistol was now starting to shake in his hands,and his daughter was about to be killed. "I didn't want to have to do this."

Nicole ducked right in the nick of time right before the pirate was killed. She stood there on the ground still in shock.

"Oh thank god you're all right!"Jack said as he hugged her.

"Thank you Jack."

"Will would kill me if something had happened to you."

"Yes he would,"said a voice behind then. It was Will. He smiled as Nicole ran into his arms. "Oh thank god you're all right,"he said as he kissed her. "Thank you again Jack."

"You're welcome."

"You have a very smart daughter."

"Did you watch the whole thing?"

"No. I just ran up by the time she ducked,"he looked down at Nicole. "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine now,"she said,"because my father saved me."

"Good thing he did too. I don't want to lose you. I love you."

"I love you too Will."

"I guess we had better go home now."

"There are still more pirates out there mate,"said Jack. "Don't worry. I sent Anamaria to take care of your son."

"Nicole,can you do me a favor?"

"Yes Will?"she asked.

"I want you to go home and stay with Anamaria ok?"

"What about you?"

"I'm going with your father. You'll be safe with Anamaria. You can trust her. But I need to help your father."

"Ok."

He kissed her. "I love you."

"Please come back to me."

"I promise I will. I love you. Go now ok?"

She nodded and dashed home.
