"In ya go," Taryn said as the kids protested upon entering the Captain's quarters. Taryn dragged the kids to the center of the Cabin where Jack, Anamaria, and Gibbs were waiting by the desk and chairs.
"Thank ye very much, Taryn," Jack said pleasantly dismissing Taryn. Nathan looked at Jack scared and nervous the way Jack smiled mischievously. Gabby whimpered as Gibbs eyed her warily.
"Gibbs look at w'at ye've done," Anamaria hissed as Gabby wailed. Jack rolled his eyes annoyed at the delay. Anamaria took Gabby in her arms and comforted her.
"Shhhooosh, It's al'right. Jack an' Gibbs are jus' stupid, their not scary," Anamaria soothed and Gabby stopped her wailing. Jack looked at Anamaria like she had just blown up his ship.
"Great, enough of this. Lets get down to business," Jack huffed as Gibbs an Ana made the kids sit down in the chairs. Jack took his seat once again behind the desk looking quite calm and composed. The children just stared back waiting to hear what Jack was planning.
"Children," Jack said slyly, yet inviting. "We're not goin' ta harm ya, unless ya give us reason to. In fact, we want ta let ya go, but we can't find yer da. It seems he has even been searching for ya." Nathan's eyes widened at Jack's words, and tears welled up in Sadie and Gabby's eyes.
"So, I decided ta let ya stay fer now. And as of now, since you seem very uneducated---" Jack invited grinning evilly as Nathan stared suspiciously.
"Me and my sisters have been educated by only the best scholars in England. I think it would be you who is very uneducated," Nathan interrupted as Jack glared at him. Nathan clapped his mouth realizing his outburst.
"--uneducated in the important stuff in life, so I decided to teach ya," Jack finished annoyed, but still cool.
Nathan took in what Jack said, but his mind was still focused on previous information of his father. 'He doesn't care any more' Nathan thought his heart sinking as his mind fought it's self.
"Captain Sparrow, are you sure our father isn't looking for us. He loves us, at least Gabby and Sadie," Nathan said softly trying hard not to think Jack was right. Jack raised his eyebrows at Nathan's last comment, intrigued at what the boy could mean.
"I'm sorry lad tha' ya 'ad ta hear it from me, but from w'at I've heard 'e headed back ta Port Royale after seeing DesDemona destroyed," Jack said cloaking his tone in sorrow. Nathan stared out of a window at the sea, and Gabby and Sadie started to cry.
"Anamaria, Gibbs, Please take the young ladies ta the Galley, and give 'em some food," Jack ordered as Nathan stared out the window entrapped in his thoughts. Anamaria and Gibbs took Sadie and Gabby from the cabin down to the Galley, leaving Jack and Nathan alone.
Jack looked at Nathan still staring out the window with watery eyes. Jack moved around the desk and kneeled down in front of Nathan's chair.
"I'm sorry lad, really I am. I know w'at it's like ta be unwanted," Jack comforted with actual sympathy as Nathan looked at him.
"If yer willin' I'll take ya under me wing an' show ya the world," Jack proposed smiling, and Nathan smiled a little.
"I would like that Captain Sparrow," Nathan said smiling at Jack who wore a toothy grin.
"Call me Jack, now lets go meet the rest o' the crew," Jack said please that his plan was working. Nathan and Jack walked out of his quarters, Jack's hands on Nathan's shoulders.
Commodore Norrington trudged off the Intrepid, in his own world thinking about his wife and the heart breaking news he carried. The Commodore climbed into a coach, and rode home to his worried wife. 'How can I break this to Valentina' the Commodore thought. 'How can I watch her fall apart, I don't think I can bear it'. Norrington exited the coach and sorrowfully walked to the front door of his mansion, his heart beat racing faster with every step. A butler opened the door, greeting a solemn Commodore.
"Darling, your home. Ohh, I missed you all so much and was terribly worried that something dreadful happened," Valentina gushed running down the stairs to her husband and smothering him in hugs and kisses. Norrington absorbed his wife, knowing that soon she would be in his arms for a different reason.
"I have wonderful news, I'm expecting," Valentina said overjoyed. James' eyes widened with her news, happy yet sad.
"Darling, where are our other children," Valentina asked puzzled, looking around waiting for a noise or sight that would conclude that there wher children present. James sighed and walked her into the living room and sat her down in a chair.
"Darling, I tried, but…." James started as Valentina started to sob.
"No, James, no! It's not true! It's not true," Valentina cried in disbelief, then turned into sobs a James held her crying form. Yet, he was unsure what to do next. The couple just stood there crying for their lost children.
"My babies…" Valentina cried against James chest.
There's the end to a sad chapter. Don't be worried, it won't be sad much longer. Please review as always. I love my reviewers! They're the best ever. Talk to ya soon! Thanks so much!
