AN: sorry I forgot to say at the beginning of no. five this is 9 years on

It was the first time ever JJ had been on real land. He found it very weird. There was no gentle rocking and it had to be said he found it unnerving. He stayed close to his mammas side.

Ana Maria found it weird every time she got off the pearl but she got used to it in about 20 or 30 minutes but she knew it would take her son longer. She found it honestly sweet. He acted so big on the ship but now on land he was a little mummy's boy. She liked him clinging to her and holding her hand.

Ellen however who had been on land loved it. She and will were racing along the sand with Will. Sometimes will annoyed Ana playing with Ellen so openly where jack could see but it worked both ways with her J she guessed. Will must miss his son desprately.

Ana couldnt help laughing as Will tackled Ellen and started tickling her.

Soon enough the pirates had found a cave and had settled and were assigned jobs such as finding food, starting a fire or collecting water. Ellen had gone off with her father so JJ found himself on a rock in the cave, completely and utterly bored.

"What you doing, papa?" he as asked Jack.

"Writing a letter"

"To who?"

"Your grandmother" Jack sighed this would be the first time his mum heard from him in 20 long years. If his dad found it he'd be shot but it was worth it but his sparrow was worth it.

Guilt was in his heart for leaving his mum. He should have stuck around for her. Or at least made her come with him. After all Marie wasn't the sparrow to be there parents "little sparrow". In fact that's were Jack got it from his mum.

Lady sparrow smiled. She had had the same maid for so long it was nice to have a new face in her chambers. Especially one so full of life. The little girl they'd sent to be her new lady in waiting was humming to herself. A few of her hairs were flying away despite it being so early in the day.

She was in a dilemma was Lady Sophie. She and her husband were going to a ball tonight and she didn't know what to wear. A blue dress or a pink.

"What do think Marie" she said to the little girl making her jump. "Blue or pink." She said holding them both up.

"Blue" said Marie.

"You like?" she said holding it to her body.

"Yeah it's gorgeous, my lady" said Marie. "It reminds me of something my mother or auntie Lizzy would wear but…….. I don't know. Maybe not, I never really knew them. Oh sorry, my lady, ignore me. I'm too much of a dreamer my nana says."

"Really" said the aging women smiling." Well I think maybe your nana might be wrong"

"Do you have any dreams my lady? Sorry if I'm being to bold" said Marie.

"Not at all my dear" said Sophie "I dream my son comes home to me safe and well one day. Is seeing your mother again your dearest wish?"

"No, I just want my papa to hold me close again….. He was so warm and kind. I loved him so. But he's gone… and I don't know where." She said quietly. But she didn't cry. "Pirates never cry." That's what Willie had told her while comforting her when they were smaller. She didn't want her father to find her and then reject her for being weak.

"It sounds like we're in the same boat my dear. What was his name?" she inquired.

"Captain Jack Sparrow" she sighed. She turned to see her mistress had paled with those words.

A/N: evil grin. Nuff' said.

Jinxeh: yup its one of those little really annoying little things that always happens or the entire plot falls apart. Yeah I love Elizabeth bashing! (Wills emotions)

Captain Ammie: yup but not for too much longer!

Trinity144: it came as quick as it could!
