A few minutes later, Jack and Anamaria were next to each other in a
loveseat, Elizabeth was crying into Wills shoulder and Jacklyn couldn't be
more confused. After all, a strange pirate had just saved her, walked her
home, and seemed to know something she didn't.
"What exactly is going on here?" She inquired.
"Well luv, I am here to clear up a certain misunderstanding." Jack said smoothly.
"What did you call me?" Jacklyn snipped "Did you dare to refer to me as luv? Did you?" Jacklyn may have been thought to be prissy and prim but if you were to meet her you'd see she has quite the temper. Especially today, after her only hopes for freedom had been stolen by a pirate with a big mouth.
"Sorry, luv." Jack said smugly.
"I'll show you luv." Jacklyn said before slapping him with all the force she could muster. Anamaria smiled, Will laughed, and Elizabeth continued to cry.
"Bloody woman!" Jack yelled. "That hurt!"
"Watch your mouth!" Jacklyn snipped.
"Hey, I'm the father! That's my job!" Jack said instantly regretting it. Jacklyn then looked at him up and down; it was true that he looked like her. But it wasn't possible. Was it?
"What?"
"Well lu- darling, I'm your father." Jack said slowly.
"Mother!" Jacklyn said looking to Elizabeth.
"What? You think that, me and her. No!" Jack corrected her. "That's your mother." He pointed to Anamaria.
"Oh, well then" She grabbed Jack by the throat and started shaking him wildly. "How dare you try to trick me!" Will finally steps in and grabs her hands.
"He's not." Will said with true sincerity. "You theirs, not mine."
"What?" Jacklyn began to feel angry, then betrayed. "How could you? I trusted you for thirteen years, and all the while you were lying to me. I can't believe it. I can't believe you! I hate you all!" She ran upstairs to trey and sort all this out. So her mother was a pirate, her father was a pirate and she was a pirate. No, she would never let herself be a pirate. Pirates are vile and dissolute, or at least that was what James had always told her. She would just have to remain without a family for the rest of her life. But how? Truth be told, she loved her family. Maybe she could stay with them. No, the pirate down there probably wouldn't let her. Or would he?
Downstairs, Will and Jack left Elizabeth and Anamaria to check on Jacklyn. On their way upstairs Jack stopped.
"Something the matter?" Will asked looking at Jack's saddened expression.
"I don't want to ruin your pretty picture, even if ye are a whelp." Jack said. "It's just that I need me daughter back."
"I know, Jack that's why we are going to get her, now come on."
They arrive at her door to hear clangs tears and screams coming from within. They opened the door expecting to see mass mayhem but discovered Jacklyn practicing her blade work on whatever she could get her hands on.
"What are you doing, Jacklyn!" Will said looking at the remains of her bedroom.
"Stay back!! If ye come near me I'll kill ye!" Jacklyn yelled, cutlass drawn.
"You know, I think she's telling the truth." Jack said fearfully.
"No, she loves us, um me." Will said.
"I love neither of you, neither of you are my father."
"I am!" Jack protested, unafraid of the cutlass pointed at him.
"No you are not! A true father doesn't abandon his child with utter strangers!" Jacklyn snipped back. Jack just stared at her, she had a point, a true father doesn't do that, a true father... What does a true father do?
"I'm sorry." Jack said sincerely "But if you would just let me explain."
"Fine, you want to explain? We will go downstairs and you can explain." Jacklyn motioned to the door with her cutlass. "You first."
Will and Jack walked downstairs as Jacklyn kept them both at bay pointing her cutlass at their backs indefinitely. When they walked in to the living room unsuspecting Elizabeth and Anamaria were surprised.
"So, Jack, a little girl can capture you?" Anamaria said smirking. Jack replied with a cheeky smile.
"She knows her blade work, what can I say?" Jack said, arms waving.
"Enough chitter-chatter! I believe you have something to explain." Jacklyn said, getting annoyed with his constant disrespect for everyone and everything.
"Oh, right." Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and Anamaria then explained all their views on her birth, care, and upbringing. At the end she looked at them understandingly.
"I see," Jacklyn began, "So, all you wanted was for me to be safe? That's interesting."
"You're definitely his." Anamaria said recognizing the certain way she said the phrase.
"What?" Jacklyn did not understand what they were talking about.
"Jacklyn lets face it, you look, act and talk just like him." Anamaria told her motioning towards Jack, who was smiling.
"I do?" Jacklyn had never met him before yesterday, therefore knew nothing of his quirks. She looked to Will and Elizabeth wondering if it were true.
"Yes, you do." Elizabeth admitted "As much as I tried to prevent it, you really do."
"Well, now that we have that all straightened out, Anamaria would like to help get Jacklyn dressed properly."
"Jack," Will began, "I know that look, what are you going to do to her?"
"You'll see."

I know, dumb place to end the chapter. But I'm still debating over what happens next. Anyway, I'll update ASAP (if you want me to). Ciao!
