CHAPTER 2: Trouble in Tortuga
Jack and Connor sat in the Faithful Bride, Jack drinking his third rum. Connor sat next to him, not touching her drink. A uneasy feeling had been growing in her stomach ever since they had docked in Tortuga. She chose to ignore it, thinking it was only because of how long she had been off land.
"Ye okay love? You haven't touched yer drink." Jack asked looking at her worriedly.
'I'm fine Jack." She answered him, taking a drink of her rum to prove her point. "I'm glad we came to Tortuga, I needed this."
"Yer welcome darlin'. But I have a feeling that this is not the only reason you wanted to come here. Am I right?" Jack said.
"Ye know me to well Jack. It's going to get you killed one day."
"Ah, but today is not that day. So what is it?" He said, eyeing her suspiciously.
"Come on." She grabbed his hand and dragged him to his feet. He threw some coins down on the table as he was pulled away by Connor.
She dragged him across town to a little house that sat on the outskirts of the town. "I think that it only appropriate that you see your stepson Jack. Plus I haven't seen him in a year."
"I completely forgot about dear Tyler. Let's go see me boy." Jack said.
Connor giggled quietly as she watched Jack make his way toward the house. She composed herself and followed. She made her way to a window and peered in.
Inside sat a man and a woman. But something was wrong, the woman was crying in her husband's arms. The feeling in the pit of Connor's stomach increased and she quickly looked around for Tyler. She didn't see him and looked closer at the pair in the house.
"Jack," she whispered, "where is my son?" She jumped up and ran to the door. She stood before it, not sure whether she should knock or just barge in. She chose the latter and threw the door open.
The pair in the house jumped and looked up. The fear on their face disappeared as they recognized her. The woman ran over to her and enveloped Connor in her arms.
"Connor, we are so sorry. We don't know what happened." The woman sobbed onto Connor's shoulder.
Connor looked at the man who now stood in the middle of the room. "George, what is Mary talking about? Where is Tyler?"
Mary began to sob harder at the sound of Tyler's name. Connor glanced down at her, tears beginning to form in her own eyes.
"Please tell me that he is fine." She said in barely a whisper.
George looked at Jack, who stood in the doorway out of the way of the three of them. He was staring at Connor with worry written on his face. He looked up and met George's stare.
Connor saw George's stare and let go of Mary and walked over to Jack. "I'm sorry. It's okay, this one is with me. George, Mary this my husband Captain Jack Sparrow. Jack this is the couple that has raised Tyler."
Mary and George's eyes widened at the news. "Captain Jack Sparrow, the Captain of the Black Pearl? One of the most notorious, feared pirates in the Caribbean?"
"You're makin' me blush mate." Jack said, placing an arm around Connor.
"Connor, you married and you married him. How long have you two been together?" Mary asked, going over to her husband.
"We've known each other for about three years, we've been married for the past six months." Connor replied grabbing Jack's hand in her own.
"I can't believe it, two pirates actually married. You'll have to tell us all about it." Mary said, smiling happily as she looked at the two.
"We will, but first, where is Tyler? What is going on?" Connor asked.
Mary and George turned away from her. "Connor, he's gone."
"Gone? What do you mean gone?" Connor asked stepping away from Jack.
"This morning, some men came in here, swords drawn and took him. One of them said that you might have gotten out of the sticky situation last time, Connor, but you won't this time."
Connor stood in her spot, her world crashing around her. "What did that man look like?" She asked cautiously.
"He was about six feet, black hair, and gray eyes." George said.
Connor spun around to face Jack. He stood staring at her, looking shocked. "Thomas." Was all Connor could say.
"Did they say where they were goin'?" Jack asked.
"They said something about Atlantis." George replied.
Connor ran out of the house. Jack stared after her before turning back to the confused couple. "We'll get him back. Thanks." Jack said before running after Connor.
He found her standing on a cliff near the house. Her shoulders shook from her tears and she fell to her knees. Jack rushed over to her and took her in his arms rocking her back and forth.
"Jack, Thomas has my son. He's gonna kill him." She sobbed into his shoulder.
"No he's not love. We're gonna get Tyler and kill that son of a bitch. I promise, Tyler will be safe, we will find him." He whispered to her, kissing her head.
He held her until she calmed, then led her back to the Pearl. He waved off Will and Elizabeth who approached them when they saw Connor's red puffy eyes. He took her to their cabin and placed her in their bed. When she had finally fallen asleep he walked back out onto deck.
"Will, Liz I need you to go gather the crew now. We have to cut this little visit short. Don't ask why, ye will find out when everybody else does." Jack said gravely.
They did as he asked and quickly left the Pearl. A few minutes later he heard the small wail of Nicole from down in the Turner's cabin. He walked into their room and took little Nicole in his arms.
"Hey now, what's this? Uncle Jack's here, and when he is here there should be lots of drinking and laughing. But I guess now the situation does call for some somber moods. I bet ye can feel the tension can't ye Nicole. Of course ye can, yer so close to Aunt Connor that you can probably tell that she's hurtin'. Well don't you worry, Uncle Jack is going to make things all better." He told Nicole while rocking her in his arms.
"Why can't ye have been around earlier in my life? Why can't ye have been Tyler's father? Your so good with children, and if you were his father none of this would have ever happened. Tyler would be in my arms, safe, right now." Connor whispered.
Jack looked up at her and set the now sleeping Nicole back in her crib and went over to his wife. He placed his arms around her waist and kissed her on the forehead. "But when ye think about it love, if you hadn't been with Nate," he spat out the name, "then there is a good chance that we might never have even met."
"Tyler would still be safe, especially if we had never met. I think that that is my biggest mistake. Meeting you, put Tyler in so much more danger."
"Don't ever say that love. I don't ever want to hear you say that again. It was not a mistake. It is all for the best, everything will work out. You'll see." He kissed her powerfully and the sound of the crew grumpily climbing back onto the Pearl could be heard from above.
They broke apart and he took her hand and led her onto the deck. "Listen up mates! I know that ye were all looking forward to this little break, but it has been called off." Jack yelled to the crew.
Curses, and whines could be heard coming from the crew. "Why Captain?" Gibbs asked.
Jack glanced at Connor for permission. She nodded and buried her head in Jack's chest. She felt his arms circle around her protectively and lovingly, giving her all the support he could.
"Because, Connor's son has been kidnapped."
The deck of the Pearl became as silent as the grave. "Connor's son? Captain what are ye talking about?" A crew member asked.
"Connor has a son who is fourteen now. His name is Tyler, and he was raised here in Tortuga with a couple. This morning he was kidnapped by Thomas, a man from Connor's past. We have to save the boy for her and for me. He is my stepson. Anyone have a problem with that?"
The crew shook their heads. "Good. Now get ready to ship out. We're headed for Port Royal."
The crew ran to their posts and began to work to get the Pearl ready to depart. Jack began to lead Connor back to their cabin but was stopped by Will and Elizabeth.
"You never told us that she had a child Jack." Elizabeth accused.
"That would be because she didn't want anyone to know. For Tyler's protection, she didn't want anybody to know that he was her son. Now if ye will excuse us." Jack replied dryly, trying to push past them.
"Why are we going to Port Royal Jack?" Will asked.
Jack sighed deeply, "Because you two cannot come with us. It could get bad and there is no way that you could go back to Atlantis with us. Ye have Nicole, you need to think of her first.."
"Jack that isn't fair."
"It's very fair eunuch. Ye are not going, that's an order." He pushed past them and went into the cabin. He laid Connor down on the bed. She was out the moment her head hit her pillow.
"We will get him back love. I will not allow ye to lose another child. I promise ye." He whispered, kissing her before going to man the helm.
I feel so bad for Connor. I think of her as myself, and yeah I am quite aware how freaky that sounds. Anyway PLEASE R&R!
