Wow...this is cool. People are starting to yell at me, WHICH IS AWESOME! I have a few people to address at the end of the chapter, so we shall commence!

Wait. I lied. I wanna remind you all that I'm holding the challenge for a Calico pre-quel. If you are interested in writing it, email me or lemme know through review and I'll email you more details from there. So far LIM is the only one who's up for it, which really makes me feel loved....cries

You find Will in the galley, moving the same crates he always moves around. He stops to wipe the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand and smiles when he sees you.

"Good morning," he says.

"Morning."

"How'd you sleep?"

".................."

"Something wrong?"

You sigh. "Yes."

He moves toward you. "What is it?"

"Jack's an idiot. Jack's an idiot and a stupidhead. And he picks his nose...."

Will chuckles. He helps you onto a crate and pulls one up in front of you to sit on. "What did he do now?"

"He had the nerve...the nerve...to call me...un-pretty-fied...."

"...what?"

"He said I wasn't pretty-fied!"

"Um...ok...that lowly dog...yeah...um, if it helps, I think you're pretty-fied."

You smile at Will. "Thank you. I know you have no idea what I'm going on about, but you tried. That's more than Jack would do. You're always there to make me feel better, Will. You have no idea how much that means to me."

You stand from your crate and kiss him on the cheek. He smiles and you leave the galley, feeling a whole lot better than before.

Jack made his way back to Mary's house. When they arrived, Antonio ran inside and hugged his mother. Jack followed him in, this time watching out for the toddlers who never seem to stop running in circles around the small house. Mary greets him with a smile.

"Hello, Jack. Antonio was a good boy for you today?"

He nods. "Yep."

Antonio tugged on Mary's skirt, and somehow began speaking English. "Mama! I met Papa's esposa! She's nice, except she kind of scares me!"

Mary frowns and looks at Jack. "Did you?"

Antonio nods. "I did! I like her a lot, I want to meet her again!"

Mary forces a smile. "Eso es maravilloso, hijo, but now you must do your chores."

Antonio nods. "Bye, Papa!" he waves before running off. Jack waves as well.

"So that's who that lady was? Your wife?"

"Who?"

"The lady who was here with you last night. Is she your wife?"

Jack blinks a few times to process what she said before chuckling. "Oh, her? No, no I'm not married."

"Are not involved with her at all?"

"Well, no...yes...yes I am, in fact...."

Mary forces another smile. "She's a lucky woman."

She follows her son to do chores. Jack lets himself out and heads back to the ship. He had some serious business to take care of.

WOOOOO!! I've determined that there will only be about 5 or 6, maybe 7 (but I doubt it) more chapters left of From Spain. So prepare yourselves. Anyhoo....

Depprulz: yes, you do love Jack...just keep tellin' yourself that....

MrS.SpArRoW: I'm glad you like the 'Will' thing. I thought the only other person that liked that was LIM...--'

Lady Skywalker: sorry that it's not moving fast enough. To be perfectly honest, I don't think there is a plot. Most of my fics have no plot, just a bunch of plotlets.

divinething: Oh My Bob! Your reviews always crack me up. I went and sat in a dark room just for you. I'm glad you like the Spanish thing, 'cause I'd rather do French. Oh, and the whole thing about Jack proposing to you? I can tell ya right now, it's prolly not gonna happen, I just don't see a pirate like Jack getting married. However, I do have the rest of the story planned out and I think the last chapter is gonna make up for it.

capnjacks-luckylady: Hee hee hee hee! You said you liked it! Whoopie! Chicken for everyone! gives lots of chicken away

XxXIceFairyXxX: NO! NOT THE CRAZY NUNS! I'M NOT EVEN CATHOLIC! (No offense to those who are!) But at least I got huggled! Yay!

Captain Cherry Tango: eh, it's ok. You've been reading since, like, I started so you're allowed to not review properly every now and then.....

jack's savvy lass: YAY!! DRAMA! AAAAHHH!!!

Commodores R Ppl 2: blinks Oh, he just did NOT call me a ho! Oooh, gurl....sniffles

Beauty818: such purty words how could I NOT update quickly? Tee.

goblingurl: I know, I can't stay still long enough to write longer chapters. How I manage to stay still long enough to write one fic and now the sequel is beyond me.

Well, that's it! R&R and PLEASE! Lemme know if you wanna do the Calico Challenge!
