Chapter seven
A day passed. They would be in Tortuga soon enough by morning. I was dark now. The sun had just set. Not much was said on the little ship of theirs, but what was there to say? Pearl wanted to talk to Will about her parents, but didn't know how to confront him. She didn't want him getting all red faced mad again. This was very complicating.
Pearl spent most of her time above deck. Will rarely ever went up there. It was usually just her and John, but that is how she wanted it. She didn't really care if she ever saw Elizabeth or Jack. They had obviously moved on since they had a new child. Why did they need her? She much preferred staying at sea with the love of her life.
It was getting late and Pearl sat on a barrel on the top deck starring up at the stars. They were always so beautiful. No one else was up there except her, but she enjoyed the silence. Much like her father liked being alone.
"Hold on to me love You know I can't stay long All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid..."
Pearl loved the song. When her and John were younger he'd sing it to her. He was all she had. All she had that she cared about.
"Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms Holding my last breath? Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you..."
Pearl kept singing as she continued to gaze at the stars. She sighed and closed her eyes. Humming the tune to her self.
"Where did you hear that song?" a voice said from behind her. Pearl opened her eyes and turned around. There was Will standing behind her with a kind smile. Pearl gave him a half fake smile.
"John sang it to me when we were younger."
Will came closer and sat down on a barrel beside her. "How old where you when you met?"
"Nine...but we didn't realize that we had feelings for each other until we were older...why do you ask?"
Will shrugged. "I was only wondering..."
Pearl drowned Will's voice out with thoughts of what there would be to come between her and John. Would they stay together this time? Or would he leave again? She couldn't lose him again. Not John. Never again. She loved him too much for that to happen.
"Sweet rapture and life It ends here tonight."
Pearl sang softly under her breath. She ignored Will like he wasn't there.
"You know, you have a very nice voice." Will commented.
Pearl looked a bit surprised. No one had ever complimented her on anything. "It's much like your mothers." He added. Now Pearl looked very surprised. Her mother sang? "My mother sang?" she asked.
Will smiled and nodded. "Yes, she was very good too."
This was the perfect moment to ask about Elizabeth. "Will.what was my mother like?" Pearl blurted out. Finally. She had done it. It wasn't that hard. Will looked down for a moment thinking about what to say. After a few minutes he looked up. "Beautiful." He said.
"What?" Pearl asked a bit puzzled.
Will repeated himself. "Your mother. She was beautiful. I can see her in you. Same small figure, same fair skin, and you both have the same temper, only you are a little more mellow." Pearl couldn't help but smile.
Will smiled as well. "And same smile."
Pearl sighed. "I know we look alike, but what was she like? How did you two meet? What happened? Why didn't she marry you instead of Sparrow?" Pearl asked beginning to get a little impatient.
"We met when we were ten. She was coming to Port Royal from England, and my ship was destroyed. My mother died, but Elizabeth found me. She took care of me. I have loved her since the day I met her."
Pearl looked confused. "Then why'd she leave?"
Will looked a bit depressed. "Jack." He mumbled.
"My father?" Pearl asked. Will nodded. Pearl felt a little acquired after that. She didn't know whether to say sorry, or just leave. "Bu.but why'd she go with him?"
Will shrugged. "Back then my guess was that she just didn't want to get married, but now that I see you I'm guessing something happened while I was away." Pearl knew what he meant by that.
"So you haven't seen her since your wedding?" Pearl asked.
Sorrow filled Will's eyes. He wanted to see her so much. ".No." Will mumbled. He then looked at Pearl. "You know you look a lot like your father.Jack. Hell, your name makes sense too."
"What do you mean?"
"Elizabeth named you after his ship. The Black Pearl.Pearl." Pearl nodded. Now she knew why she had the name Pearl, but now she hated seeing Will like this. Even if they weren't friends. No one should have to feel this bad. Ever.
"Will.I'm sorry. It's because of me that you and Elizabeth aren't here today together." Pearl was genuinely sorry too. Will showed a slight smile. "No don't be sorry. It was fate." that made Pearl feel a little better. Not much though. Will didn't know what to say. Neither did Pearl.
Pearl then stood up. "I guess I'm going to go." Pearl said softly. Will nodded, and then turned away. Pearl walked quickly over, and down the stairs to John. John was already in bed. Pearl took off her clothes and changed into one of Johns extra white shirts that went down to her knees. She then took her hair out from her ponytail and let it rest on her back.
Pearl then crawled into bed next to him. Obviously John was still awake for he wrapped one arm around Pearl's waist and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. "Ya know.you have a really nice butt." John mumbled to her. Pearl looked over and hit his head, and then laughed.
John laughed as well. He then loosened his grip on Pearl and closed his eyes. "I love you." He said.
"I love you too." Pearl mumbled before drifting off to sleep.

It was morning in Tortuga, and Jack decided to take a walk along with little Suzette by his side. He loved taking walks with her. She was his little girl. Having her had changed him so much. He wasn't just Captain Jack Sparrow anymore. He had more to life now. He was a father.
They'd always walk to the docks and look at all the ships. Today they stayed longer than usual though for Suzette just had to see all the ships. Jack and Suzette walked for what seemed like forever looking at them all.
"Jack?" someone said from behind him.
A/N: hehe! I love cliffies! Lol is that even a word? Anyway.what did ya'll think? Who do you think should be behind him? Well please r/r and tell me what ya'll think! TA!
