Samuel looked at the face that was his father's. He stepped forward timidly. Jack noticed the cane and the boy's stiff leg. Samuel raised his hand and gently touched Jack's hand.
"So…You are my father…The great Captain Jack Sparrow," Samuel murmured. Jack grasped the boy's hand.
"Yes…I guess I am," Jack replied wearily. Isabelle smiled.
"Come, Samuel, it's time for you to rest. You've had an exciting day," she said, starting to lead Samuel to the door.
"No! Let him stay a little longer," Jack said. Isabelle looked surprised and let Samuel return to his father's side. She sighed and started to hum a song while tending to supper.
"You are the only son I have," Jack said, looking at Samuel.
"You're the only father I have," Samuel said, suppressing a smirk. Jack couldn't help but laugh.
"No one wanted to marry Isabelle? She's beautiful," he smiled.
"Eh. She's rebellious, and she was a pirate. She showed me her mark. No man would want to marry an ex-pirate," Samuel said casually.
"How'd you like to come aboard my ship one day?" Jack asked. Samuel's eyes grew wide with excitement.
"Really?" Samuel said voice full of excitement. "I'd love to!" Isabelle looked up and shot Jack a look of hatred that made him wince. Will stood.
"I think I should go back to the Pearl. Don't want the crew to leave with out us," he said, heading toward the door. Elizabeth followed.
"Tell them I'm fine, for know," Jack called after them. Samuel eyes grew wider.
"You're the captain of the Black Pearl?" he asked. Jack nodded.
"The fastest ship in the world. Unmatchable, it is truly is the best," Jack said. He went into the retelling of his adventure of getting back his ship. Isabelle rolled her eyes. She stood and poured out stew into four bowls. She gave a bowl to everyone. Isabelle sat herself down by the fire.
"So, when do you think I can come aboard your ship?" Isabelle asked suddenly. Jack choked on his stew.
"What?" he asked, his throat burning.
"When can I join your ship?" Isabelle asked again. Samuel looked at his mother as though she was crazy.
"I…I don't know. When I'm better, perhaps," Jack said. He really didn't know what to say. Suddenly there was a loud knocking at the door.
