Little Flyer
Hello again. I want to say thank you for all the great feedback I got on this and my secret window fiction. I was planning on keeping this a one shot. I got some feedback on adding more. I decide to make two more chapters written in Jack's POV. Come on you know you want to know what Jack thinks about having a baby girl. Thank you and RR.TinyDancer8.
So many nights of this. After the day, no matter how bad it was we always returned to the darkness of our cabin. Our lives, really. I used to think the wheel of the ship was my favorite spot in the world. I just felt a great wave of power there. It is just not knowing what was awaiting me, behind that next stretch of ocean.
Now everything has changed my favorite part of the Black Pearl is here, right here. You, my Anna and our baby. Here is where I feel the most love the happiest feeling in the world. After you and Robin are wrapped up in dreams I am wrapped up in smiles. I can't describe it.
We would lye and talk to Robin. Trying to see what she was going to do next. Holding her toe or throwing up on me. She was gem the best of both of us. It was Anna and I in one little package. Robin is five months old now and is so tiny. I wonder is this the best life for her. Living life at sea? Anna and I thought it was the best but is that because out here we feel like we have control over her life. I worry so much about her, Anna, and fuck even me. I don't know what are lives will be but as long as we are together I believe it will be fine. As long as my Robin, my little flyer doesn't want anything other then this life it will be fine. I truly think it will. I am surer of this family then I have been of anything else in the world.
I worry however about what would happen to a child if we were caught. Sometimes I wake up from a dream of horror. It is never clear what happened to Robin but something horrible did. I would share this Anna. She would smile as she took my head in her hands." It called being a father, Jack. A good father at that too. "She would kiss me genteelly and go back to welcomed sleep.
Anna. Sometimes I am mad at you. How could you not tell me about Robin? Did you have that little faith in me when you found out you were pregnant? Did it ever occur to you that I will never get the moment she was born back? I told you this musing and you said well we could always have another one. Another one perhaps but it will always hurt me that I was there to help you though the pain and to see my child enter the world. Well, it is in the past now we must look to the future.
Robin is in the cradle now, thumb in mouth being rocked to sleep by the ocean outside. She never cries. Even in a storm she looks around with quizzical eyes pondering everything. I wish I knew what she was thinking. In time I wonder if she will boss me around as her mom does.
Anna is asleep next to me. I stroked at her dark hair. It was as dark as our lives were. Who knew what was going to become of us. I stopped watching my baby. As I decided I should get some sleep. Tortuga tomorrow. I kept my promise no more girls, just Anna. As I pulled her close to me and kissed her neck she turned. As I looked in her eyes she was my only. My only one.
"What? ". She asked. She hated when I would wake her up in the mornings or ever. "I just wanted to say I love you." That said it all for me and I knew she understood as she kissed me. I went to sleep and had dreams full of my Robin. My little flyer.
So that might have been out of character for Jack, but you know what they say having a baby changes everything. Sorry I couldn't think of a better nickname for Robin. Please RR Thanks for reading. –TinyDancer8
