Chapter 9

Crying Marie embraced her mother.

"Don't go!" she begged her mother. "Stay with papa."

"I'm sorry luv but me and JJ have go to go We'll see you soon luv," said Ana feeling guilty. "I love you my darling," she said kissing her daughters forehead. Turning to her Jack she gave in to her tears.

"I love you!" she admitted.

"I love you too," said Jack pulling her in to the ever passionate embrace that exists only between them.

Deepening in to a kiss both lovers began to cry. Jack had never let his daughter see him cry but for Ana he would break every rule.

"Stay with me!" said Jack.

"I can't," choked out Ana. "JJ needs his dad, and I know Marie is safe with you. I don't know what kind of dad David is. JJ needs me! We'll come back soon."

She walked off on to the dock.

"Ana," called jack. "My arms are always open, if you need to run in to them."

"I might just do that" she wept and followed JJ and David to a leaving ship which was heading to Port Dray.

Three weeks since they first arrived at Port Royal together grandmother and grandchild stared out of the window.

"There coming!" Marie said

It was late at night as they watched her father and Rosie walk up the path.

Rosie knew tonight she would have to bid farewell to Jack. He was leaving in the morning.

"I'll miss you and Marie," said Rosie.

"I know and me n' her, well we'll miss you and me mam."

"But you'll come visits soon?" said Rosie hope fully.

"Of course. Me mam's already made me promise," said Jack.

Jack said Rosie turning more tender suddenly.

"Don't." he said silencing her with his finger at her lips. "It's' our home. Me and Marie need the sea."

"I know you do Jack. But I feel so strongly for you and that kiss."

"Don't we can't be together Rosie you're home is here, with me mam."

"What of I came with you though Jack?" she suggested. It was clear the thought hadn't crossed his mind." I know I barely know you but I love you and your daughter. I want to be with you and Marie now Jack."

"You want come with us?" he said. He didn't know about this.

"We have to come out and say we love each other, and we wouldn't have to even act like a couple to beginning but Jack, don't leave me behind."

"Ok, come with me."

"Come on grandpa!" said Marie using her affectionate name for Gibbs who was a grandfather figure to her.

But Jack knew by the look on his, Gibbs would not come back to sea.

"What?" he laughed and it all became clear to Jack as Gibbs wrapped his hand round Sophie's one.

"Yer mam will be needing a hand now that Rosie going with yer, I'll catch yer up," he said with a wink.

"Yer just treat her right or you'll have to answer to!" said Jack as he ushered his daughter on to there ship. "Yer kept that one in the dark!"

She ran on deck with Ellen and Willie. All three off them would miss JJ but it was time for J to grow in to his father's son.

"Bye grandma and grandpa!" said Marie down to her grandparents.

"Have fun sweetheart!" said Sophie watching her play with the Turner kids.

"Stop running," called Liz scared that one of them would slip andhurt themselves. But they had lived on the ship so long "Stop running" had no affect what so ever.

"Come back soon lad," said Gibbs to Jack.

"Ii will be bye mam" he said swiftly kissing Sophie on the check.

"Bye love be careful. Look after Marie," she said.

"I always do!" he called back. "Ready Rosie?"

"I think so, bye Mrs Sparrow!" she said tearfully.

"Be careful look after my boy!"

"I will."

Later that day Rosie found her self looking down on the sea watching the dolphins swim up beside the ship. It was such a great feeling being on board the pearl.

She looked up at Jack who stood proudly steering at the wheel. He looked so kingly. She thought back to all the stories Sophie had told about all the wonderful and interesting things he had done.

This was going to be such a adventure.

"Rosie?" he said to her beckoning her to the front of the ship.

"Yes Jack what's up?"

"Your chores," he said.

"Have not been assigned yet," she finished his sentence.

"Right go to Lizzy she'll tell you what needs doing," he replied.
