Chapter 3
***DREAM***
Sixteen years ago a handsome young man with short black hair, tanned skin and perfectly white teeth pace back and forth. His name was Captain Jack Sparrow.
"Jack, I have some good and bad news for you." The doctor came out and told him.
"What is it doctor?" Jack asked, concerned.
"I'm afraid your wife isn't going to make it..." said the doctor. "If you'd like your welcome to say goodbye to her. But there is nothing we can do" the doctor continued. Jack stood still, shocked by the news. He walked into the room where his wife lay, limp and weak. In her arms was a little bundle.
"Jack." her voice was soft and dying.
"Victoria." Jack sat beside her.
"It's a little girl Jack." Her voice was a whisper.
"She's beautiful" he smiled and caressed the baby's face. Jack looked up at Victoria, he watched the joy on her face. "Victoria, I love you," he told her.
"I love you too Jack. You made my life wonderful! I loved sharing your adventures with you" she smiled.
"Victoria, you cant just leave me and the baby here, the baby needs a mother." Jack told her, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I don't have much longer to live! But at least I get to see my baby daughter and you one last time. I trust you'll take good care of her Jack, that you will raise her into a beautiful young woman." She looked at the baby, "What will we name her?" she asked. "We shall name her after you. So that when you are gone she will have some of you in her." Jack suggested, tears streaming down his face.
"I'd like that, Jack I can't hold on any longer" her voice weakened some more.
"Please not now!" Jack cried.
"I love you little Victoria, and Jack I love you." her voice trailed off and she was gone. He held the new little life in his arms and cried, with sadness and joy. He knew Victoria would be off in a new place. When one life was gone a new one was born.

"Cap'n! Cap'n! JACK!" a voice yelled, and someone was shaking him.
"What?" Jack shot straight up in his bed, facing Gibbs who had woke him up.
"You were yelling in your sleep. You kept saying come back, and you're all I have left." Gibbs told Jack. "Were you dreaming about Victoria again? Gibbs asked.
"Yea mate." Jack replied. Gibbs and Ana Maria were the only two who knew about Jack's wife and his missing daughter. The rest of the crew hadn't known Jack since then, and he never told anyone about them. Not even his good friend Will.
"Well Jack, you should get more sleep. I'll see ye in the mornin'" Gibbs got up and left.
"Thanks Gibbs." Jack replied, and waited till Gibbs was gone. Jack got out of bed and got dressed and grabbed his weapons and headed off the Black Pearl. It wasn't quite dawn yet, therefore no stores or pubs were open yet, but he just felt like taking a walk around. He sat on a big rock on the harbour for a while. He watched the sun rise over the beautiful sea. It was something he and both Victoria's would do every morning. Little did he know, he wasn't the only one stirring at that time watching the same sunrise from not so far away.
