DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"I'll get him…" Elizabeth said to Will as she was getting out of bed, as she heard Jack's crying from the other room. It had been nine months since they had left Port Royal, and the usual treasure hunts ensued. Will and Elizabeth's ship the Chariot was headed to a small island off the coast of Nassau, that is where Will, Elizabeth, Jack, Bill, and Anamaria called home…for the most part. Will and Elizabeth decided not to buy a large ship, after their last crew all died in the icy Atlantic waters, so their ship was smaller and could be manned by three, Will, Elizabeth and Bill. The island was put up for sale by the British government because it was to small to govern or farm. So with the money from the Azores the five of them equally bought it. It took a few months for the island to get it the way they wanted it. They first built a dock, then everyone's homes went up, first Will and Elizabeth's, Jack and Anamaria's, then Bill's.
"What's the matter?" Elizabeth said to Jack as she picked him up from his crib. "We'll be home soon, by morning I promise." Elizabeth said as she rubbed his back, but Jack continued to cry. "Ok, I know what you want…" Elizabeth then grabbed a blanket, wrapped it around Jack and walked up on deck, there was a bench behind the wheel of the ship, she sat there and hummed a song. "Much better." Jack had calmed down considerably. Elizabeth watched as her son grew, he was now almost fourteen months old, and he was already trying to walk, that worried Elizabeth. There has been several times where she had caught him crawl away from her and almost went over the side of the ship, the crawling and walking terrified her. Jack was also starting to talk, not coherent words, but he was starting to mumble.
Will rolled over in bed to find that Elizabeth was not there. Will got up and walked to his son's room, they weren't in there either, now Will was worried. Will quickly ran up on deck.
"Elizabeth!" Will called.
"Will…" Elizabeth said as she walked up behind him, holding Jack.
"Elizabeth you scared me…"
"Why? I was just trying to get Jack to sleep." Elizabeth said confused. "Nothing is going to happen…" Elizabeth said reassuringly.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't see you or Jack and I got worried…" Elizabeth then placed her fingers on his lips to silence him.
"Nothing is going to happen…"
"Will! We are ready to drop anchor." Bill said to Will.
"Alright…" Will said to him
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
"Jack?" Anamaria said as she leaned into Jack's chest.
"Yes luv…"
"What is the plan? I mean after we get home…what other treasures are out there?"
"Plenty, don't worry about that luv, I got it handled." Jack then reassuringly wrapped his arms around her, they fell back asleep. However it wasn't long before they were interrupted.
"Excuse me Captain." Joshua said, he had replaced Anamaria as first mate, since Anamaria was now a co-captain.
"What is it?" Jack asked as he was getting up from bed, not pleased that he was being bothered.
"The Chariot has already dropped anchor, and we will follow suit in a few moments." Joshua said quite timidly.
"See to it then." Jack bellowed. Jack then turned his attention back to Anamaria who was still sleeping.
"Anamaria luv…" Jack whispered, "Ready to go?"
Anamaria rolled over half asleep, "I'm up give me a second…" Anamaria then tossed the blankets over her and got out of bed, slapped on a pair of pants and tucked her shirt in. She was about to walk out the door, she stopped when she noticed Jack was watching her.
"What?" Anamaria asked.
"That's what I love about you."
"What is that?"
"Your remarkable ability amaze me."
"What because I got out of bed and put my pants on?…You haven't seen anything yet." Anamaria said seductively, she then walked out of the room, without doubt Jack followed quickly.
"Will!" Jack called to him as Will was helping Elizabeth off the rowboat.
"What?"
"How ye doing mate?"
"What do you want?"
"Now what kind of question is that to ask a friend?"
"For you, a good one."
"Got a bit of information for ye. We can talk after dinner." Jack then glanced at Elizabeth who was holding Jack.
"Jack Sparrow if you think I am going to cook dinner for you then you, my dear Captain, are dead wrong!" Elizabeth said annoyed, she already had a child to take care of…that was enough.
"Elizabeth, you know you are the only one here who knows the way around the kitchen. I would have no one else but you cook for me…"
He always did that to her, "Fine, dinner will be ready at six, I expect you to clean up Jack."
"It's a deal." Elizabeth then walked up to their house, it was not as big as their home in Port Royal but it was plenty. She walked in the kitchen and found that the delivery she asked for was waiting for her on the table. Before they would leave she would send in an order for food from Nassau, and she even struck up a deal with the Postmaster, who would deliver their mail once a month on the eighteenth, which was close. After she set down Jack in his highchair, she started to put everything away. The trouble with living on an island was the fact that food spoiled easily and it wasn't easy to replace rotten meat. Elizabeth kept chickens in the back of their home, and would go out by the cove with Jack and dig for clams, occasionally she would venture further out to the ocean and look for scallops. Tonight there would be clams and steamed vegetables, Elizabeth knew Jack wasn't a fan of clams, but that was his punishment for making her cook a large meal. As Elizabeth was lifting a bag of potatoes on the counter a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, she jumped and dropped the bag on the floor and whirled around to see it was Will.
"Will! You have to stop that!" Elizabeth said angrily.
"I'm sorry I did not mean to startle you."
"You did…" Elizabeth then continued to put groceries away.
"What's wrong?" Will asked concerned.
