Chapter 20
Jocelyn flipped the bacon so it wouldn't burn and turned to Will. She was wondering what they needed to do. She knew Will should see Governor Swann and at least patch things up before the man died and he should at least meet his granddaughter and learn that there is at least something left of him and his daughter in this world. Jocelyn turned and looked at Will who was sitting silently tickling Annabelle's stomach. "Will?"
Will looked up and looked at Jocelyn. "Yes sweet?"
Jocelyn swallowed the lump in her throat. "I think it would be a good idea if you were to visit Elizabeth's father and at least let him meet Annabelle. It's the least we can do for before he passes on."
Will thought about what Jocelyn said and knew she was right. "We should, Governor Swann deserves to at least meet his granddaughter at least. Besides the map Gwen had said the treasure was buried somewhere along the coast of Florida. So we would be able to stop in Port Royal on the way." He said this last thought out loud.
Jocelyn was about to ask when they'd leave but was interrupted by someone walking down the steps. Will and Jocelyn looked to the doorway to find Bill standing there. "Morning Da. How'd you sleep?" Will asked with a slight smile.
Bill grinned as he walked over and picked Annabelle up. "'ad the best sleep last night than I've 'ad over the last twelve years." Bill said as he sat down holding Annabelle in his lap, then looked at both Will and Jocelyn and realized they were worrying about something. "Wha's goin' on? You both look like someone up an' died."
Jocelyn couldn't help it and giggled a little at the faux paux but quickly sobered up. "Bill, about twenty minutes ago a Commodore Norrington dropped by to speak with Will and Elizabeth. But he did not know that Elizabeth had died. He had come to tell them that Elizabeth's father, Governor Swann of Port Royal, Jamaica, was dying and wanted to try and mend things between Elizabeth, Will and himself before he passes on," She told him as she placed the plates of bacon and eggs on the table before turning and looking at Bill. "Here's your breakfast."
"Breakfast looks and smells great sweetheart." Will said as he placed the food on his plate. Then he looked up after realizing something. "Someone's going to have to wake Jack up."
Jocelyn grinned evilly, "I'll do it. I've been itching for some payback since Jack woke us up early the day after the wedding sweetheart." Jocelyn said hugging Will from behind, placing her chin on his shoulder. "Either of you have an idea as to how I should wake him up?"
Bill and Will looked at each other and then to Jocelyn grinning like kids in a candy store. 'Uh oh. Well as the saying goes, payback's a bitch.' Jocelyn thought laughing. Both Turner men answered in unison, "Threaten his rum."
"I should have known." Jocelyn laughed as she stood up and headed for the doorway. "Well, wish me luck."
Will and Bill just grinned as Jocelyn left the kitchen. She headed upstairs and ran into Anamaria, who was just heading down. Jocelyn raised an eyebrow and pointed to the door. Anamaria threw her a questioning glance before realizing what Jocelyn was up too. She grinned wickedly and nodded before heading down to grab some breakfast. Jocelyn quietly opened the door and stuck her head in the door and yelled, "Jack! There's no rum!"
