Chapter Three
"Peter! Peter!" Jade called out in the busy streets of Port Royal. It was a busy Sunday afternoon. There were people and carriages everywhere. It was a lot more crowded than Jade was used to, but she had grown to love it. As long as she had her son and the man of her dreams she was happy.
"Peter!" she called again this time her voice a little annoyed. Just then she felt two arms wrap around her waist from behind. Jade closed her eyes and smiled. "Hello Will." She said. Though she couldn't see his face she knew he was smiling. "Hi..." he said before he gave her a kiss on her neck. She closed her eyes once more still smiling.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you too." He whispered back.
Just then Peter came running up to them. His face was dirty with a small cut on the side of his lip with dried blood below it all the way down to his chin. "Peter?!" Jade exclaimed. "What happened?" Peter sighed and looked down. "Fight..." he said. Just as Jade was about to give him a lecture Will stopped her.
"Peter." Will said. "Please don't do things like that anymore...please." Peter nodded and walked inside the shop. Jade looked at Will. "How do you do that? He listens to you." She said a bit puzzled. Will smiled and gave her a kiss. "It's just how you say it. Instead of yelling you simply ask him not to do anything like that again." Jade shrugged. "Alright...I'll try." She then laughed.
"What's so funny?" Will asked.
"I can see so much of you in him. Same hair, same goofy smile, same passion for swordplay...everything." Will smiled. "Yes, but he has your beautiful eyes." Jade smiled as they both walked inside. There they found Peter inside playing with his wooden sword that Will had made him two years ago.
Will told him that when he got better at it he'd make him a real one, so Peter practiced everyday. Only sometimes Jade felt somewhat sad for Peter because it seemed like that; that wooden sword was Peter's only friend. Peter didn't really have many friends nor brothers or sisters. At least she believed that he wasn't still out there and if he was he obviously didn't know about her.
Jade shook her head and walked into the back room where Will was stilling on the bed looking at something in his hand. It was the engagement ring he had given Elizabeth. Jade had caught him looking at it many times, but she never said anything. She knew that what he told her was not true. That he never went back for the ring.
"You still think of her?" Jade asked.
Will jumped and quickly put the ring back in the dour. Will shrugged. "Sometimes, but not really."
"You miss her?" Jade asked as she walked over and sat next to him.
Will gave Jade a somewhat disappointed look. "Yes..."
Jade shook her head. "It's alright. I miss many people too." She said.
They both smiled and as Will was about to kiss Jade they heard Peter. "Dad! Come here!"
Will got up and walked out there with Jade close behind him. "Dad, there is someone at the door..." Peter said while pointing at it. Will walked over and opened the door. There stood a young man no older than sixteen with the same deep blue eyes as Jade looked at Will through his shaggy brown hair. "Can I help you?" Will asked. The young man brushed his hair out of his face.
"I'm looking for a woman by the name of Jade O'Connell." He said in a deep voice.
Will had a puzzled look on his face. "Jade is my wife...why are you looking for her?" Will asked.
"Because she's my mother." He said.
At that moment Jade gasped and ran over to him. She looked at him to make sure that this wasn't some kind of joke. A few seconds passed and then Jade wrapped her arms around the young man and began to cry softly to herself. "I thought you were dead." She whispered. Jade then pulled away and wiped away her tears.
"How did you fond me? How'd you know I was here?" she asked.
"I didn't, and father told me who you were. Right when I was giving up I came to the closes island I could fine and it was here. Port Royal. Then yesterday I saw you walking out in town and I followed you back here. I knew it had to be you because I had your eyes and hair."
Jade smiled again and more tears started to form. "Mother, please don't cry." He said.
Will looked at little confused. He walked over to Jade and grabbed her arm. "Um...sir could I have a word with my wife for a moment." He said while walking to the back room. "Peter." Will said. Peter got up and followed them. Jade leaned down to Peter. "Honey, go play in your room." Peter smiled and walked into his room.
Jade sat on the bed slightly shaking from the shock. Will sat next to her, and held her hand. "Jade what is this about?" Will asked. "Why didn't you tell me you had a son?" Jade looked at him. "It never came up."
"Never came up?! These are the kinds of things you tell either way!" Will shouted.
"Will calm down! God! I hate it when you are like this! You always get like this when someone doesn't tell you something! Honestly Will! You need to grow up!" Jade shouted. Will was stunned. Jade had never said anything to him like that before.
"Jade...I...I'm sorry." Will said. Jade smiled. "It is alright, but please just let me finish before you jump to conclusions." She said. Jade took a deep breath.
"All right. First off his name is John well Jonathan, and he should be sixteen." Will looked out her for a moment. "But that means you were thirteen when you had him."
Jade nodded. "Yes, I was young and stupid. When someone would tell me they loved me I'd believe them and do pretty much anything for or with them. His father was my first love. His name was Thomas. He was fifteen. When I found out I was pregnant my parent's could not be anymore angry with me. I told Thomas and that is when he stopped caring for me. After I gave birth I took John to Thomas...well actually I left him on his doorstep because no one answered the door, but then my parents and I left. I was sure that Thomas wouldn't take care of him so I assumed he was dead, but I guess he is not. Now Will please don't be angry because this was before I met you and I didn't know I was going to meet you...so please don't be angry." Jade said.
Will looked stunned. He didn't know what to say to that. He just looked at Jade for a moment.
"Will?" she asked.
Will looked at her. "What?"
"Can he stay with us?" she asked.
Will thought for a moment, and then smiled. "Of course. He is my step son." Jade smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you Will." She said. Will just wanted to make her happy. "You're welcome." He whispered in her ear.
After that Jade walked out to where John was standing and hugged him. "You can stay." She said. John smiled. "Thank you, but I don't think I'll be staying..." he said.
Jade looked puzzled. "Why not?"
John looked at her. "I was planning on heading to Tortuga...I have a friend there and she is waiting for me. I haven't seen her for at least two years now, but I promise I'll come back." He said.
Jade nodded her head. She understood. "All right...but make sure you come back. I don't want to lose you again." She said. Before giving him another hug. She head him tight in her arms.
"I love you." she told him.
'I love you too..." he whispered.
Jade then let go and watched John walk outside. The whole time they kept their eyes on each other. Jade would miss him, but he promised to come back, and she believed him, and if not she would always remember that day. Forever.
~*~
John walked back to the docks over to his ship. It was a fairly decent sized ship. It was big enough for him. He was in a much better mood now. He had finally found her, and part of him didn't want to leave her, but he had to go see her. He had to see his one and only friend in the world.
They met when they were twelve and then she went away, but he hoped she was in Tortuga...she had to be. Where else could she be? John shrugged and set sail. "I shall see you soon Pearl." He said to himself as he made his way out of the bay and into the sea.
~*~
"I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it..." Pearl said to herself. "I am going to talk her." Pearl didn't know why she should be so nervous. They were only her parents. She was shaking...she couldn't do it.
'Pearl! Get back to work!" the man shouted.
Pearl sighed and walked over to a table to give them their rum. "Here ya go." She said. Pearl then sat back down on a stool hoping that she would come in here. Soon enough she did. Pearl smiled. "I'll get that table!" she shouted. No one heard her of course. Everyone was talking and laughing no one paid any attention.
Pearl hated for her mother to see her in this outfit for a first impression, but oh well. Pearl was still shaking as she walked over to where Elizabeth was sitting. Pearl stood in front of her half hoping that she wouldn't know who it was. Elizabeth didn't bother to look up.
"Rum please, but could you bring another one too, and some water. I am waiting for two other people she said. "Sure." Pearl said as she walked away. Dear god. This meant that she would have to face Jack too, but who was the other person?
Oh well. Pearl walked over with the rum and water. "Here ya go." She said to Elizabeth. "Thank you." She said again without looking up. Pearl was beginning to get annoyed with her. Pearl stood there for a moment hoping she'd look up, but she didn't.
Finally Pearl simply sat down in the chair next to her, and looked at her. Elizabeth looked over to see why the girl was sitting with her. "Excuse me..." Elizabeth said, but then she cut off. She knew who it was.
Pearl smiled and Elizabeth felt a lump in her throat. She gasped for air and began to cry. Pearl got up and walked over to Elizabeth's side. She leaned down. "Mum please don't cry." She said. Elizabeth looked up and looked at Pearl. "It really is you...isn't it."
Pearl smiled and nodded her head trying not to cry as well. Elizabeth stood up and wrapped her arms around Pearl. "Jack was right. You're not dead." Pearl laughed a little. "No I'm not."
"But you jumped..." Elizabeth said.
"And I didn't die." Pearl added.
Elizabeth smiled and wiped her face. She then took a good look at Pearl and realized what a revealing dress she was wearing. "What are you wearing?" Elizabeth asked.
Pearl shrugged. "Side job."
Elizabeth looked at her yet again. "Well, go change...if your father ever saw you in that he'd kill you."
Pearl laughed. "Alright..." she said while walking over to the man behind the counter. "I'm out." She said as he handed her another two shillings.
Moment's later Pearl came out from the back in her normal clothes. Elizabeth was waiting for her. "Where are we going?" Pearl asked. Elizabeth smiled. "To your father."
