I haven't put up a disclaimer in a LONG time, so here goes...

Jack Sparrow is not my creation, nor is the Black Pearl, Ana Maria, Gibbs, Norrington, Elizabeth, Governor Swann, Will Turner... I think that's it... Well Everything else is mine, unless I forgot a person that was in the movie. The plot is all mine, as are Rena, Gabby, Kasha, Jake, Jon, Bandit... well you know the rest. So Disney can't sue me cuz I'm not selling this or making any money off of it. Anyway... ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 33

Alive?

They made their way back to the Pearl quickly, Jack in tow as Jake carried the girl he claimed to be his daughter.

"Is everyone here?" She yelled as she pulled herself over the side.

"Yes Cap'n," Ana Maria said.

"Good raise anchor and pull out the sweeps, I wanna be outa here as quick as possible, savvy?" She yelled.

"Aye Cap'n," her crew replied.

"Jake bring the girl to Ana Maria's cabin and have Ana watch over her, Bandit take the helm, and Jack come with me," she ordered in quick succession. Jake scowled at her last order but did as she commanded. Instead of going to do his chores however, he strolled into her cabin, took a seat behind her desk, and put his feet on her desk. She walked in and pushed his feet off her desk then lifted the chair and smirked as he plopped on the ground.

"What was that for?" He growled.

"I am Captain Jake, not you. Go help the men with the sweeps," she growled back. He stood and left quickly.

"I'm not Jack-"

"Of course you are, don't play games with me Jack. If you didn't want to be with me anymore you could have told me, you didn't have to fake your death," Rena growled stepping so close to him their faces almost touched. She reached behind him and slammed the door of her cabin closed.

"I tell you my name is Thomas and that girl is my daughter Jessie and I am-"

"Married, yes I know," she cut him off again. "Listen Jack because I'm gonna say this once, and only once. You rescued me from hell not only once but twice. We spent over a year together before you told me you loved me, but you finally did. I was kidnapped and you moved the ocean to find me and save me. How can you stand there and lie to me?"

Jack stood silently for a few minutes. "I'm sorry that you lost this Jack fellow, but I'm not him.

"You see the tattoo on your arm Jack?" He looked down, studying it. He had always wondered what it meant.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"That tattoo means you're Jack Sparrow. If you don't believe me then look at this one." Rena pulled the sleeve of her shirt up to reveal a tattoo of two sparrows in flight flying towards a black ship on the horizon. She walked to him, "I got this a few months after your death." The sparrows on her arm looked exactly like the one on his, as did the horizon. She had spent the months after his death tracking down the man that had given Jack his tattoo.

"What of this?" He asked, pointing to the P.

"Pirate brand, given to you by the East India Trading Company after you were caught, you escaped soon after. And the two bullet holes on your chest, you were shot there once when you slept with the daughter of a Captain in the Royal Navy, he found you in bed together. The other you never spoke about and when I brought it up you would get real silent. I know more about you than any other man or woman living Jack Sparrow, and I also know that no other man in this world kisses like you."

She kissed him then, slow and passionate. She brought her hands up and traced her fingers through his straight, silken hair. It was odd to kiss him clean shaven, but nice. She was surprised when she felt his tongue glide along her lips but gave him entry anyway. She pulled away for breath and smiled at him.

"Why are you pretending you don't remember me Jack?"

"Because I don't," he whispered, sadness in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Jessie found me on a beach about three years ago with amnesia."

"So you really don't remember me then?" She asked, her fingers tracing his jaw line, Jack shook his head no. She nodded and pulled away. "Gabby."

"Yes Captain?" Gabby asked bursting in, she had obviously been listening at the door.

"Take Mr. Thomas here to Ana's room, tell Ana to move her stuff, she can either bunk in here with me or in the crew quarters." Gabby nodded and took Jack by the arm, closing the door on her way out. Rena went to her liquor cabinet and took out a large bottle of rum. After pulling the cork out with her teeth she sat on her bed and took three large swigs, emptying the bottle. What was she going to do now?

"Daddy," Jessie shrieked as Thomas walked into the cabin.

"By all that be 'oly, it can't be," a dark skinned woman whispered.

"This is Ana Maria, she's nice," Jessie said. Thomas smiled and held out his hand towards the woman.

"I'm Thomas," he said. Ana Maria didn't move she just stared at him.

"Yer name be Jack Sparrow, don't try te fool me," Ana said. He noticed her eyes were transfixed on his tattoo.

"The other woman, your Captain, seems to think that too," he said.

"That's because you are Jack Sparrow," the woman that had brought him here said, Gabby he thought she was called.

"Who is this Jack Sparrow?" Thomas asked.

"He was our Cap'n," Ana said.

"He saved my life and introduced me to my husband," Gabby said.

"I can't be a pirate, I'm not evil," Thomas denied.

"Neither was Jack. He was, is, a good man. He saved Governor Swann's daughter Elizabeth from pirates, he saved Commodore Norrington's life. Norrington gave us privateer status for that, of course we're no longer under his protection as we raided an English Port, but we were before that," Gabby said thoughtfully.

"This pirate did all that?" Thomas asked incredulously.

"Are you really Jack Sparrow?" Jessie asked in awe.

"No, I'm not. I would like to be dropped off safely at home with my daughter now. Enough of this foolishness I am not a pirate," Thomas argued. Ana and Gabby looked at each other, and then left locking the door behind them.

"What if you really are a pirate, daddy?" Jessie asked. He smiled and walked over to her.

"I'm not anymore darling. Don't worry about anything, we'll be home soon," Thomas said.

"Jack? How could it possibly be Jack? He's dead," Jake said.

"You never met Jack Sparrow did you? I tell you this now, even if I hadn't seen his tattoo I would still tell you that the man in that room is Jack Sparrow," Gabby said.

"He obviously doesn't remember, and if he does he wants to forget. Why would Rena take him?" Jake asked in a depressed, whiny tone.

"I'm sorry Jake, I'm not sure why she took him," Gabby said, clapping a hand on his shoulder. Rena suddenly walked out of her cabin and into the middle of the group of pirates on deck.

"Listen up everyone," she yelled, quieting the entire deck.

"The man and little girl are not to be touched, do you understand? If so much as a hair on either of their heads is misplaced it'll be the cat for the pirate that did it, savvy?"

"Aye Cap'n," the crew yelled.

"Is he really Jack Sparrow?" A man yelled.

"Aye, he's really Jack Sparrow," Rena yelled back. With a smirk she headed into Ana's cabin, she had finally decided what to do.
