Anamaria took the bundle from Gibbs and unwrapped it partially. I saw a little glimpse of what was in the bundle and tears began to fall. The baby was alive. I hugged Jack to me and he kissed my forehead. Anamaria brought the baby over to us and laid her in my arms. Jack moved the small blanket and smiled. It was a smiled I hadn't seen him wear on his face since the day I told him I was pregnant. It was a smile full of pride and Happiness. I looked at the baby and saw that she looked pale and weak. She hadn't opened her eyes yet and was breathing shallow. I looked at Jack and he must have seen what I seen cause he looked at me and then looked at Gibbs and Anamaria.
"What be wrong with 'im. He be as pale as a ghost 'nd he ain't breathin' right." Jack looked worried as Gibbs walked toward us and looked at the baby again.
"I'm sorry Jack, Jasmine." He looked at the both of us with sorrowful eyes. "The baby wont last out the night. She has been shaken to much and it has damage the brain." My eyes filled with tears once again and I leaned into Jack crying. He wrapped his arms about me and the baby and tried to comfort me softly. I pulled away and looked into his eyes. Mine still filled with tears.
"We should name her Jack." I said looking down on our small and defenseless child. He tried to smile the best he could and looked down at our child. He took in the small form.
"We 'ould name 'er Rose Jestine Sparrow?" Jack suggested. I let the name sink in along with the baby's beautiful features. I smiled the best I could manage, looking thoughtfully from Rose to Jack.
"Rose Jestine Sparrow." I repeated. I brought the Rose's tiny forehead to my lips and kissed her softly. "You would have made a great father Jack." He smiled at me and took the baby holding it close to him.
"ye would have been an even better mother Jasmine." He sighed and kissed the child as the her skin started to chill and her breathing came to a complete stop. He looked up at Gibbs who stepped forward knowing exactly what the Captain wanted. He took Rose from us and I laid in Jack's lap and cried myself to sleep.
/ I dreamt that I was back home again and I was searching the house once more for my father. This time I couldn't find him. I went to the room where they had been in the previous dream but there was nothing there except a note. I picked it up out of curiosity and unfolded the paper. It read:
"Dear Daughter
by now I am guessing you have returned home to me. Only this time to find that I am no longer there. Jasmine, I must place this upon your shoulder's my darling daughter. I am sorry for everything I had ever said to you that was mean and down hearting. I loved you so. Will and Elizabeth have told me all about your travels and the journeys you have taken searching for her. My daughter she has taken me. She is saying she will kill me as well if I am not retrieved within a month. I am sure it is a trap and I do not wish for you to get hurt. Take care of my Grandson and remember The leaders of old shine upon us." I closed the letter and shut my eyes. What did he mean the death. Had they're been another that I was unsure of? I walked into our powder room or what was left of it. I looked into the mirror and was shocked at what I saw. A women stood in my place. She was Clad in all black and had a blood red shirt on. Her wide brimmed hat had a long stemmed red rose on it. I stepped back unsure of what to do. I fell then, and I kept falling.\
I awoke with a start as I hit the bottom in my dream. It had felt so real almost as if it were to happen. I looked around and found Jack laying on the bed next to me. His eyes were open and he was watching me. I sat up but was only greeted by a pain. Jack sat up quickly and caught me from falling back on the bed too fast. I smiled my thanks to him.
"Ye shouldn't be movin' that fast darlin'. Ye'll hurt yer self again." He smiled and brought his lips to mine kissing me oh so gently. I smiled and kissed him back.
"I would like to go out on deck today. Besides you have your Captain's duties to attend to, and I need fresh air." He smiled at me and kissed me once again.
"That's one of 'he many reasons why me heart is yers. Ye done let nothin' stop ye." He smiled and stood walking over to the trunk and pulling out some clothes for the both of us, I watched him move from the trunk back to the bed. I questioned myself if I was really ready to do this?
