Reviewer Responses

Rachel Sparrow: I'm glad you approve. chuckles I will try and make the first meeting between Jack and Jocelyn very memorable. I'll hopefully be bringing him and the rest of the crew of the Black Pearl into the story either in chapter 9 or chapter 10. I just have to see which way this is going to go first and decide whether to have Will and Jocelyn get married in 2004 in Vegas or in 1710 in Tortuga or Port Royal.

Maren L P: Thank you for reviewing loyal reader. LOL. I'm glad my writing is keeping you from being too bored. Hopefully I'll be able to due the character of Captain Jack Sparrow as much justice as I hope I've done with the characters of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann (Turner).

CHAPTER 8

Lexie was in a right state wondering what her best friend and client needed to talk to her about. Jocelyn sounded urgent on the phone as she talked.

-Flashback-

Lexie was sitting at her desk writing up a new version of the contracts her clients singed when they worked with her when the phone rang, "Hello?"

"Lexie? It's Jocelyn."

"Hey Lyn, what do you need? 'Cause I'm right in the middle of some paper work…"

"Lexie, just shut up for a minute. I need to meet with you, say in about an hour and a half?"

"All right, hour and a half it is. I'll see you then and this better be good Lyn."

Jocelyn chuckled from the other end of the connection, "Oh it is Lyn. Bye."

Lexie hung up the phone when she heard the dial tone and wondered what her client was up to now. She hoped it wasn't as big a stunt as hang gliding, bungee jumping or and other sort of extreme sports.

Lexie was leaning her back against the counter to her mini bar that she had built into her office and sipped at a glass of scotch. 'God, where is that girl? She'll be late to her own funeral if she keeps it up.' She thought. Suddenly there was a knock on her office door. She looked up and called out, "Come in!"

In stepped Jocelyn walking with a man; that could only be described as sublime, superb, and definitely the favored of the gods with the body and face that he had; carrying a beautiful baby girl. After her initial shock however Lexie spoke up, "So, are you going to introduce me to this man and the little angel?"

Jocelyn had to keep her laughter in check when she saw her friends' reaction, "Of course! Alexandra 'Lexie' Force, my agent and personal slave driver this is my fiancée, Will Turner and his daughter Annabelle Turner. Will and Annabelle Turner, this is my agent Lexie Force."

"Pleased to meet you." Lexie said as she held her hand out, expecting a hand shake.

Will took her hand and gently brushed his lips against the back of her hand. "The pleasure is mine Ms. Force. I only hope it could have been under better circumstances." He said.

Lexie was shocked at the old fashioned, gentlemanly display of manners. She recognized the names of the man and his as the one Jocelyn had told her that belonged to the man and baby who had appeared in her house out of the middle of nowhere. Lexie looked at Jocelyn, "Lyn, he's the…" she tried asking delicately.

Jocelyn chuckled mentally before nodding, "He is. Why don't we all sit down and Will and I will explain what's going on."

After they all took their seats, Lexie gave Jocelyn a look that said 'explain and explain now'. Jocelyn swallowed the lump that was in her throat and looked from Will to Lexie, "Lex, Will and I are engaged to be married and we are going to go back to where and when Will and Annabelle are from."

Lexie's jaw dropped. After the shock wore off Lexie spoke, "So you two are getting married and going back to what ever year and what ever city that he and his daughter came from?" she asked, working out what Jocelyn had just said. Lexie then looked scathingly at Will before turning her gaze to Jocelyn, "ARE YOU NUTS?! You have commitments and a life here. You can't just pack up and leave." She said angrily.

Jocelyn watched her friend rant in amusement, "Lexie, I am an adult and you have no right to tell me how I live my life. And I know I can't just pack up and leave. That's why Will and I are here. I came to tell you good bye and to ask you to make sure that my things are either sold or given to my family. I also need you to cancel all my credit cards, and rental agreement on my apartment. All that good stuff. Could please do this for me?" she asked, her eyes pleading with Lexie's.

Lexie sighed and sank back into her chair. Her best friend and client was leaving, forever to go and live with a man who she has only known for a few weeks. But she had to admit, Jocelyn was the happiest she'd ever seen her, "All right, all right. I'll do it. I'm sorry I flew off the handle like that. It was just…unexpected." Lexie looked at both Will and Jocelyn and saw how happy they were. "I wish you all the happiness in the world. And I hope you both make it."

Jocelyn smiled warmly at her friend and got up and hugged her tightly, "Thank you. I won't forget you." She whispered into her friend's ear as they hugged. Jocelyn walked back to her seat tears in her eyes. Will ran his thumb across her cheek gently removing the tears. Jocelyn placed her handover Will's and regained her composure, "Well we better get going. I'll call you right before we leave, okay Lex?" she said as she and Will stood up to leave.

Lexie nodded smiling, "You'd better. I'll talk to you soon girl."

And with that Will, Jocelyn and Annabelle left the office and headed to Jocelyn's mom's home. The drive was quick as Melinda didn't live to far from the office. Jocelyn and Will decided that they needed to tell at least her mother the truth so at least one member of Jocelyn's family knew what was gong on. When they got there Jocelyn expected her mother to want to throw both her and Will into a mental facility. But they were surprised that that was not what happened. Melinda believed them and wished them luck in their lives. After saying good bye and a lot of tears Will, Jocelyn and Annabelle finally left Melinda's house and headed back to the apartment.

Once back at the apartment Jocelyn began to lock up everything and making sure that everything they needed to take was packed. It was then she realized that she needed to make sure Lexie had a key to the apartment. "Shit!"

Will had been in the bedroom changing himself and Annabelle into the clothes they were wearing when they disappeared from Tortuga. Will walked to the doorway and looked at Jocelyn disconcertedly, "Something wrong my love?" he asked walking over to where she was standing.

Jocelyn looked up from what she was doing to look at Will, "Well, yes and no. I can't remember if Lexie has a key to the apartment or not. I have to call her anyway so I might as well ask her when I call. Are you ready?"

Will nodded and Jocelyn grabbed the phone and dialed Lexie's cell number. "Lexie?"

"Lyn?! You're all leaving right now?" Lexie asked.

"Yeah, you have a key to the apartment right?" Jocelyn asked nervously.

There was a long pause from the other end of the phone before Lexie spoke, "Yeah I have one, Why?"

Jocelyn let out the breath she didn't know she was holding, "Good, then I don't have to leave the key with the sup. Please remember to come by tomorrow, if only to clean out the kitchen. Okay?"

Lexie laughed, "Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too. Look me up in the history books." Jocelyn laughed, she then hung up.

Will took one of her hands into his as she pulled the bag with the baby bottles and cookbooks onto her shoulder. Will hugged his daughter too him and held tightly onto Jocelyn's hand as they turned towards each other.

"Will we need to make this wish as specific as possible, what was the date when you 'disappeared' from Tortuga?" Jocelyn asked.

"It was March 16th 1710 and it was at dawn, why?"

Jocelyn smiled, "Because we can wish to be back in the beach in Tortuga on March 16th, 1710 at 8 in the morning only 2-4 hours after dawn."

"All right, let us go home." Will said smiling.

"On three." Jocelyn said, "one…two…three!"

At the same time they both said, "We wish to be on the beach in Tortuga on March 16th 1710 at 8 am!"

Suddenly there was a bright flash of light. The light engulfed Will, Annabelle, Jocelyn and anything that they were carrying. A minute later where once three people were standing there nothing but thin air.

CHAPTER 9

On the beach in Tortuga a lone figure was looking out to sea. His hair was long, dark and a mix of dread locks and braids with shells, feathers, jewels, and gold woven into his hair. His dark eyes, lined with kohl were searching the horizon for the 'Blacksmith'. The man, Jack Sparrow, Captain of the Black Pearl, had been looking for his best friend and first mate, Will Turner, and his daughter but couldn't find hide nor hair of them. He had thought Will had taken Annabelle out for a morning cruise but the ship was docked at the house.

He rose from his seat on the beach, a bottle of rum in one hand and cutlass in the other. As he was about to leave the beach when a bright light caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. He turned and saw Will, little Annabelle in his arms and a beautiful woman holding Will's hand. Jack called out, "Whelp!"

Will and Jocelyn did not here him and headed off in the direction of Will's house. As they walked up the walk way Jocelyn let out a breath. The house was beautiful. It was a two story home with a wrap around porch and a swing on the front porch. It was painted a light beige color and had a picket fence around the yard. Will turned around to look at Jocelyn when he heard her gasp. He smiled when he saw the look on her face, "What do you think of your new home sweetheart?" he asked.

Jocelyn smiled, "This place is beautiful. Did you and your friends build it?" she asked.

Will nodded that she was correct as he led her into the house. "We did. Though it did help that Jack and I split the treasure on the Isle de Muerta…" Will was interrupted when Annabelle yawned. "I'll be right back love." He said then left Jocelyn in the living room while he went to put Annabelle down to sleep.

Jocelyn was standing in the living room when she heard the front door open. She noticed a sword in the corner of the room and grabbed it before hiding herself by the doorway. If anything that living in the 20th and 21st century taught her it was to always be prepared and to defend yourself and your home. She waited and watched as the person who came into the house walked into the living room and Jocelyn held the sword against the small of his back, "Don't move unless you want me to run you through." She ground out between her teeth before calling out, "WILL!"

Will came rushing down the stairs in a panic. He knew something was wrong and got to the living room fast. He immediately recognized the man standing with the sword at his back and began laughing. Jocelyn looked at Will incredulously before asking, "Will, what the hell is so funny?"

Will choked back his laughter, "I'm sorry sweetheart. It is just no one, except me, has ever gotten the drop on Captain Jack Sparrow."

Jocelyn pulled the sword away from Jack and set it on the couch. Her face went bright red as Jack turned around to face her and Will, "I'm sorry Captain Sparrow, but I thought you were a thief."

Jack shrugged, "'s all right luv. I'd 'ave done the same thin' in your place." He threw Will an 'I'll-get-to-you-later-look', "Now Will, you mind introducin' me to yer fine lass here?" Jack asked, that trademark smirk of his on his lips.

Will shook his head in bemusement he knew Jack was a little crazy. "Jack this is my fiancée, Jocelyn Thompson. Jocelyn this is Jack Sparrow, Captain of the Black Pearl, the finest pirate ship in the seven seas."

Jocelyn smiled and held out her hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you Captain Sparrow, Will here has told me all about you." She said her eyes twinkling with mirth.

Jack took her hand and kissed the back of it. "The pleasure's all mine, luv. You'll have to tell me how you met the whelp here. Knowing him it'll be quite the story." Jack laughed.

Jocelyn and Will shared a look before breaking into laughter. Jack stood there confusion written across his face. He suddenly wondered what his friend had been up to for the last few hours. Will clapped a hand onto Jack's shoulder, "Come on, let's sit down and we'll explain everything there, savvy?"

Jack looked at Will and then at Jocelyn, "Aye, I savvy. But I have a feeling I am going to need a few strong drinks after you're through telling your tale."

Will smirked, "And I'm sure you provided your own rum right?"

Jack looked at Will throwing him a 'what-do-you-think' look, "'O course I did. Or my name isn't Jack Sparrow." He said incredulously.

Will led them into the parlor and they all sat down, jack on a chair and Will and Jocelyn on the sofa. Jack had a feeling something had changed for Will in the last few hours since Will went home from the bar the night before. And was waiting to hear and explanation from either of them. But he wasn't expecting the tale they told him.
