The storm had stopped a few days after the Pearl had left Port Royal and the sun was now shining on the deck of the Black Pearl. The crew was cheery, a harmonica and accordion were playing happily from the deck, but from where Angeline stood on the wheel deck, the mood was anything but happy. She stared blankly at the sea thinking about everything that had happened, meeting Alex, loosing Alex when pirates kidnapped her, and leaving Alex behind. Her heart felt torn in two. Part of it was in Port Royal with Alex while another part was here on the ship.
She mentally slapped herself on the head from being so stupid. She realized now that she had made the wrong decision. Furious tears stung her eyes as put all her anger and strength into punching the railing. "BLOODY HELL! OW!" She said shaking her bruised hand. Jack turned around from his place at the wheel.
"You alright, princess?" Jack said cocking an eyebrow as his daughter shook her wrist in pain.
"Does it look like I'm alrigh' dad?" She said glaring at him.
"No."
"WELL THEN?" Angeline said taking a deep breath.
"What'd ye do, me luv?" Jack said putting a fatherly arm around her shoulders.
"I made a dumb decision." Angeline said sighing.
"Which was?"
"I hit the railing." Angeline said as a tear dropped slowly down her cheek.
Jack drew her into a hug and kissed her forehead. "That ain't all, is it?"
"No." Angeline said burying her head in his chest as tears started falling.
Jack, who wasn't used to having a daughter crying, awkwardly smoothed her hair with his fingers in a calming motion. "Ye'll see 'im again, I promise." He whispered into her ear.
"He'll find someone else."
Jack pulled her away from him and held her at arms length. He wiped away her tears with his thumb, "Better than ye, princess? Never."
"How do ye know?"
"Cause yer a Sparrow, which makes ye irresistible."
"Thanks dad." Angeline said hugging him.
"No worries then, I got a surprise fer ye!" Jack said trying to lighten her mood.
"Wha' is it?" Angeline said semi-excitedly.
"If I told ye it wouldn't be a surprise!" He turned back to the wheel leaving Angeline's mind to wander as she climbed up to the crow's nest.
A few hours later she felt the ship stop and heard everyone on the ship yelling, "LAND HO!" and singing happily. Angeline peeked over the side of the crow's nest and her heart leapt. They were in Spain! "This is his surprise?" She said to herself smiling. Jack may not seem like the type to know how to make his daughter happy, but he knew and he always did. She slid down the Pearl and walked off the ship only to run into someone else. She looked up to see boy about two years older than her, short sandy blonde-almost brown hair, tanned tone skin, and dancing green eyes in front of her.
"Angeline?" The boy said in a Spanish mixed with French accent. (a/n: How weird would that sound? Lets pretend it sounds sexy! Lol)
"Pierre!" She smiled.
"Are you gonna give me a hug or what?" Pierre said holding his arms out. She embraced him and kissed his cheek, as is customary in Spain.
"I see ye've found yer surprise." Jack said smiling.
"Thanks Da."
"No problem. Now yer mum's are at yer house, Pierre, they'll meet ye there. Now go n talk or wutever it is ye do."
Pierre and Angeline walked quietly down the streets of the small city of San Sebastian. Pierre watched Angeline as she walked and noticed that she seemed different. She seemed sad.
"Pajadita, tell me what's wrong." Pierre said in a comforting tone.
"Nothing!" Angeline said annoyed.
"Don't give me that, there has to be something wrong for you to be so quiet."
"I'm just tired." Angeline said feigning a yawn.
"Tell me the truth, Pajadita. I'm your best friend, you can trust me."
"Let's go to our secret spot." Angeline said quietly.
"Your wish is my command." Pierre said waving his arms.
They walked behind Pierre's house and to a small creek in his backyard. Across the creek, there was a large willow tree, its long branches cascading all around it. Angeline and Pierre walked quietly through the creek, whose waters reached to Angeline's booted ankle. Then Angeline pushed aside the branches and climbed onto a low hanging branch that seemed like it was made to hold her. She laid back and closed her eyes; this was her favorite spot in the world besides the Pearl, that is. Pierre sat below her on the grass and leaned his head against the tree.
"So tell Pierre your troubles." Pierre said looking up at Angeline who was stretched out on the branch, her hat covering her eyes, chewing on a branch.
"Trouble, singular." Angeline said smiling.
"Which would be?"
"Love, love is my trouble."
"Love? Tell me about him. The whole story." Pierre said knowing if he didn't ask Angeline wouldn't have told him.
"You know me too well Pierre." Angeline said smiling.
Angeline told him everything from the beginning to the end. She paused in between to answer questions from Pierre, who besides asking ridiculous questions such as, where did Barbossa's hat go when we threw him overboard, paid really close attention to what Angeline was saying. When she finished he asked to see the sword. She pulled it out of its sheath carefully and handed it to Pierre who carefully grabbed it. He studied it for a few minutes and handed it back to her.
"He's a good blacksmith and you loved him very much as did he. You were stupid for leaving him." Pierre said as thought he was the smartest person on earth.
"Thank you Captain Obvious." Angeline said giving him a mock salute.
"You're welcome. You haven't looked at the sword have you?"
"Nope, these past days have just been a blur." Angeline said tiredly.
"Look at the blade before it gets to the handle. He carved you initials and his on it."
Angeline quickly took out the sword and studied it. She smiled, her eyes gleaming, "I hadn't noticed."
"Well, now that you have that off your chest, I have somethin' to tell ye."
"What?"
"I'm gonna propose to someone." Pierre said holding out the ring.
Angeline jumped down from her tree branch. "Who would want ta marry you?" She teased. She looked at the ring. It was a beautiful ruby cut like a rose, tiny diamonds were placed on each end and the gold of the band shone in the sunlight. 'Wow" Angeline said giving the ring back to him.
"My girlfriend, Daniela." He said smiling.
"When do I get to meet her?" Angeline questioned him.
"Tomorrow night, and then I'm gonna bring 'er here and propose with you here of course." Pierre said his smile getting bigger.
"With me there? Pierre dontcha think it'll be more romatic if I'm not 'ere?" Angeline said furrowing her eyebrows.
"If you're not here then I won't have the courage to do it." He said shrugging.
"Congrats!' She said hugging him tightly. 'My little boy is growing up so fast!" She said playfully pinching his cheek.
"AY! Pajarita that hurts!" He said rubbing his cheek. She smiled at her Spanish nickname, she forgot how much she liked it.
"Vamonos Gordito!" She said calling him by his Spanish nickname.
"Angie, I'm eighteen, can't we think of a better nickname besides fatty?"
Angeline cringed when he said Angie she hated being called that. Thankfully, Pierre was the only one who did that. "Nope, you grow but Gordito stays!"
She said running to his house. He chased after her, grabbed her and took her hat, putting it on his head. She snatched it away and ran into her house where her aunt was sitting talking to her mom.
"Hola Tia Flora!" Angeline said running into the house with Pierre close at her heels.
"Ey mami!" He called from behind her.
"ANGELINA Y PEDRO VEN AQUI!" Tia Flora yelled at Angeline and Pierre who were chasing each other up the stairs.
Angeline walked back down the stairs, "Que?"
"Let me look at you." Flora said holding Angeline at arms length. 'Ay! Que linda que estas! You look just like your father." She pinched Angeline's cheek. Pierre stifled a laugh.
"Thanks Tia." Angeline said shooing her hands away.
"Let's see Pierre, come 'ere.' Anamaria said. He walked to stand in front of her and she noticed that he had grown several inches taller than her. 'You got tall." He stepped back to avoid her cheek pinching. Angeline glared at him rubbing her cheek.
"The boy doesn't stop growing! He eats like a pig yet he stays so skinny." This time Flora managed to pinch his cheek. Angeline giggled. Jack burst through the door smiling.
"Hola, FloraMaria!" He said using her whole name and bowing gracefully.
"Hola, Jack. Everytime I see this girl she looks more and more like you!" Flora said pointing to Angeline.
Angeline raised her eyebrows, "Is that a good thing?"
Jack smiled, "Course it is! I'm the most handsome man in the Caribbean!" He said conceitedly.
"Ay, but we are not in the Caribbean anymore Jack!" Anamaria said laughing.
Jack made a face at her and she gave him one back. "If I wasn't so handsome, how'd I get ye to marry me?"
Anamaria sauntered over to him and smiled, "Pure luck."
Jack grabbed her into his arms and dipped her kissing her romantically. "Really?"
"Course not." The kissed again.
"Get a room!" Angeline said rolling her eyes as her parents laughed.xo
