DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

Four years had passed since the last time Eve saw her father, and she hated him for it. Eve used to admire her father, then after years of not speaking she came to regard him as a coward, all he had to do was forgive her, that's all she wanted, she didn't want an apology for the hurtful things he said, she wanted to be forgiven, she wanted her father, the one she loved and admired back. However, and most unfortunately that wasn't going to happen. Jack had stepped in as the father figure she needed, and she loved him for it, any advice, and help, she asked him for it and without question he would provide.

Jon was the one constant in her life, the one thing that kept her grounded and stable. Together they were unstoppable, and feared throughout the Mediterranean Seas, their ship the Sandburg, was feared amongst all ports and cities. Together, Jon and Eve suffered, two miscarriages, the most recent being the most painful. Eve had woken in the middle of the night in pain, when she lifted the sheets blood covered her chemise, and she cried in agony as Jon tried to console her. Through everything, both had remained strong, and incredibly in love with one another.

"Eve?" Jon called her name. Jon knew she was still grieving for their lost child, she was three months into her pregnancy, the furthest any had ever gone.

"In here." Eve called from the study. She was sitting at the desk looking over a pile of maps.

"What are you doing?" Jon asked her.

"Reading…maybe we can go back to the Caribbean."

"Why would you do that? You know what's there…" Jon said as he sat down next to her.

"I know…your right, I'm just setting myself up for heartache…" Eve then tried to hold back the tears. "Just…I don't know why I am always hurting…" Eve then sobbed into his shirt.

"I know…" Jon hugged her tight. His wife had been on an turbulent emotional wreck for years, and he suffered along with her, and helped her keep her wits together. "We'll be fine, I promise you…" Eve then remembered something.

"We are supposed to meet your father for drinks right?" Eve said as she looked up at him.

"If you don't want to go he'll understand."

"No, I need to get out, take my mind off everything." Eve said. "You can go ahead, I'll meet you, I have a few things I need to finish."

"Are you sure?" Jon asked with a concerned tone.

"Yes, don't keep him waiting." Jon then kissed her and walked out of the study and into the city.

Eve got up and put the maps and books she had pulled out, and put them away. Eve then went upstairs into their cabin, which was directly off the deck. Eve went to her dresser and pulled out a small bundle. Unraveling it she took out the diamond pendant her parents got her for her twentieth birthday, she rubbed it between her thumb and index finger, it hurt her so much that she didn't have her mother to comfort her, it hurt that she hadn't seen her brother or sister, it hurt not having a family, having roots. Eve then put the pendant away and grasped the sapphire pendant she wore, the one Jack had given her. Jack was a man she always admired, he was clever and strong, and never had said the terrible things her own father said. Eve took a deep breath and locked the door to the cabin and went into the city.

"How's she doing?" Jack asked his son as he took a sip of his rum.

"She's taking it pretty hard…she wanted to go to the Caribbean, she wanted to go back." Jon admitted.

"What did you say?" Jack asked, putting his glass down.

"I told her if she knew what she was getting herself into…and she said more heartache, and she broke down."

"The lass has had it rough."

"Have you spoken to Will?"

"Not recently, but I caught up with them a few months ago, right after you told me Eve was expecting."

"And?"

"I told him, and he didn't care. I have never known Will to be this way…"

"What about Elizabeth and Laura?"

"Laura couldn't forgive Will for the way he treated Eve, she then took up a space on Adam's ship. Elizabeth is devastated, all her children are gone, and her daughters, hate their father. Elizabeth forgave Will, but there is that sense of resentment."

"Do you think it be best if Eve went to see Will?"

"No, Will needs to come to her. Will is her father."

"Thank you." Jon said suddenly.

"For what?" Jack asked bewildered.

"For being there for Eve, you stepped in where Will couldn't, and I thank you for it."

"I've known that girl her entire life, she is like a daughter." Jack said. Jack and Jon had a good strong relationship, they had worked together, and had grown close.

"Talking about me were you?" Eve said as she came up behind Jon smiling.

"Never…" Jon winked as he kissed Eve.

"How are you doing?" Jack asked Eve.

"Better, its been a few months, but it feels like an eternity." Eve said forcing a smile.

"So what did you want to discuss?" Jon asked Jack.

"Our next move."

"And what is that?" Eve asked as she brought her glass to her lips.

"The good old King of France is sending some jewels over to London, for our lovely King, God knows why, but I can tell you the ship and the exact day it's leaving."

Both Jon and Eve sat forward intrigued. "Go on."

"Exactly two weeks from now."

"That is plenty of time…" Jon said calculating the amount of time.

"We'd have to leave right away." Eve added.

"Yes." Jack said. "So are you in?"

"Yes."
