Chapter 39

Anne burst out laughing at sight of the fear in Jack Sparrow's eyes. It was just too funny to resist, she couldn't keep a straight face.

"Welcome to the family, Jack Sparrow!" Anne put her sword back into its scabbard and offered Jack a hand. He took it and she pulled him from the floor. She punched him in the arm, playfully and hugged him.

"Ye have t' deal with me now, Sparrow. We're related!"

"Still never paid me back for tha' rum you stole, luv." Jack mumbled

Anne made a face. "Oh, too bad."

Suddenly, Alison came running in, soon to be followed by Angela. "Cousin Annie! Cousin Annie!" The child yelled again and again, running over to the black haired woman, and into her arms. Anne picked her up and hugged her. Shortly after putting her back to the floor, she and Angela exchanged hugs and kisses.

"So, 'ow did ye's know I was here?" Anne asked, glancing at the little girl holding onto Emma's leg.

"Well, we heard a very loud scream from someone in the house, and only one can conclude that, you, have arrived."

Anna laughed heartily. "Well, I guess it's true."

"So, are we leavin' or what? I want to get married to this woman already." Jack had his arm around Emma's shoulders, and pulled close to him.

"Sure, Jack, sure. I still have a few bones t' pick with ye and we have t' get a few things straight. Number one, you will never do what ye did t' her four years ago, if ye do, I'll gut ye and use yer skin fer garters if ye do it again. Number two, ye can't be drunk all the time, yer going to be a husband and maybe a father, so ye can't be a rummy. And Number three, you will care, love and watch out for this woman until the day ye die or else ye will have me to answer to. Am I clear?"

Jack nodded at Anne, making sure she saw, than added a short "I swear it will be done." Satisfied with Jack's answer, without any hesitation, everyone left to the ships. Allison and Angela, to Anne's ship. Emma to her own, along with a few of Jack and Anne's crewmembers, including AnnaMaria who greeted her warmly.

"I see he finally got it through 'is head. Welcome back, lass." AnnaMaria embraced her.

"Thanks AnnaMaria, it's great to be back."

Later that Night…

Emma lay in her bed in her cabin, not sleeping, but thinking. She was going to be happy for the rest of her life now. She would have a wonderful husband, children as soon as they got around to it, and possibly anything else that might make them happy. This was most indefinitely going to be Eternal Happiness.

She heard the door open, but did not turn to see who came in. She felt someone climb on to the bed.

"Jack, don't you have your own cabin to be taking company in?"

Jack looked surprised. "How did ye kno' it was me, luv?"

"Well, you are the only man right enough in mind to bother me when I'm trying to sleep. Also, knowing you, this is a normal thing for you to be doing."

Jack took Emma's hand, making her turn around to him. "That ain't the reason, luv. I wanted t' be with ye for a little while longer, today. After all, I haven't seen ye in 'bout 4 years." He put his arm around her shoulders. "I want to stay 'ere tonight and besides, a ship can be very lonesome when the woman you love it not there." Jack kissed emma gently on the lips.

Both soon fell asleep, soon after, still holding on tightly to each other, as if their lives depended on it.

The Wedding Day…In the Bridal Room…

Surprisingly enough, they had made it to Port Royal in less than a week, because of good winds. Jack and Emma were both totally ready for this, even though there were a few pre-wedding jitters. Too be surprised more, Elizabeth was pregnant, again.

"How does it look, Emma? Do I really look that fat?" Elizabeth was trying on her dress for the wedding for the 42nd time.

"Liz, it looks gorgeous. You are not fat, just pregnant, ok? Now will you please help me with these straps? I cannot tie then with only one hand."

"Fine, fine." Liz turned away from the mirror and went to the back of Emma's dress, and started pulling straps as they were supposed to be. Elizabeth's wedding was white and strapless/ sleeveless. There were a few straps to tie in the back. It was light and flowing, made of white velvet.

"You look stunning, Em. Nervous?"

"I am. I'm just having jitters. IamsoworriedthatJackwillleavemeatthealterorworse-"

"Em, em, slow down! Would you like me to leave so you can feel a little less jittery?"

Emma nodded. "Could you let Alison in, but watch the door? I have a feeling that Jack wants to steal a glance at the dress before I come out."

"All right." Elizabeth carefully slide out the door, keeping any prying eyes from seeing the dress. "Alison, your mommy wants you!"

The giggling five year old came prancing into the room wearing a blue dress that had been delivered to the house a few days ago. She seemed so happy. She was going to have a mother, and a father after all. Emma embraced the child close, she was going to be happy with her life after Emma and Jack get married.

Alison's face just suddenly fell, as if she was about to cry. Emma looked worried, seeing this child's expression.

"Alison? What is wrong?"

Alison started crying. "I'm leaving you. I have to go back."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"I'm…your real daughter. I have to go back to the future."

"What?" Emma was shocked. This was the most surprising thing that ad happened since this adventure had started.
