Chapter 6

Staying close to her dad Marie walked on through Port Royal to her grandmother's inn. Clinging to his hand for dear life she felt uncomfortable off the black pearl.

JJ walked further behind his mother with Ellen and Willie.

"Do you think that she'll be ok?" said Willie.

"I hope so," said Ellen unsurely. "What about you JJ?"

"I'll manage it," he shrugged. Feeling low but he was looking forward to seeing his Nana, he brightened up a bit. David was staying in another inn just down the road.

Maria and Jack had been putting on a bit of for show for his sister but now it was over. Marie knew now that her parents may be splitting up. JJ and her had spoken about it, neither wanted Jack and Ana to split up. Despite the fact Jack was not his true father Junior wanted his mother to stay with Jack, after all the man who raised him.

"Marie's strong you lot, don't worry," said Will.

As they got nearer the inn, Sophie came running out her house. Embracing her grandchild she felt so truly upset.

"Oh sweetheart!" said Sophie feeling awful as Marie winced a little. "I'm sorry!"

"It's ok, I'm not feeling so bad!" but still she retreated to the safety of her fathers love.

"Come on me little Sparrow, it's just yer grandma," said Jack encouraging his daughter.

"Papa," she said uncertain.

Knowing how it felt to be the victim of rape Sophie decided to give her grandchild room.

"How are you love?" she asked her Jack.

"I'm alright mam, but I need to camp down for a week or two," said Jack sadly.

"You know your welcome too my love, and here's my special helper, JJ my dear how are you?" said Sophie.

"Do you know everything about me and my mother?" asked the little boy quietly.

"Yes but it doesn't change a thing my sweetheart. You're still my grandson," she smiled.

"Good!"

"Now, are you going to help me get the rooms ready, how many darling?" she asked her son.

"Let me thin' JJ, Willie are you going to share?" the boys nodded. "Marie and me will have one. Ana needs one, Will and Elizabeth, Ellen needs one and Gibbs, the rest are staying on the pearl, so that six I thin'" said Jack.

"Right lets get cracking, oh and Marie, Willie I have a surprise for you."

The ruination with Rosie was a happy one. She had missed the children.

That night at dinner, Jacks worry again grew as Marie refused her meal. she hadn't eat in days. But she did have a little dessert which was better than nothing!

She fell asleep in Jack's arms. Soon it was just him, his daughter and his mother downstairs.

"She didn't deserve it mam!" said Jack.

"No darlinig no one ever deserves what she endured," the grandmother sympathized.

"I should have been there for my lass mam," he said looking down her face. The way Jack cradled her was as if she was the most precious jewel in the world, a fallen angel. He ran his hand through her hair.

"You couldn't of been."

"I should have been I'm her father mam." Jack said. "The day she were born I swore to protect her. I didn't do it very well did I?"

"Yes you have Jack, sweetheart. You know she worships the ground you walk on. You're her hero," said Sophie.

"No mam, you don't get it do you? The fact she loves me makes it so much worse. I wish she hated me after everything I should have saved her from," Jack shook his head.

"No-"

"Yeah mam," said Jack. "I'm her papa and I let her down."

"Jack," said Sophie and tried to embrace her son.

"No, come on me little sparrow," said jack his voice turning more tender, pulling away from Sophie and picking up his daughter. "Let's go to bed."

He walked upstairs and laid her on her bed. He had no idea how to deal with this. His mam and his daughter had both now been raped and he didn't protect either of them.
