Well, here it is: The Sequel to The Steal Snitch. I must thank all my faithful reviewers, you were great! #Virtual hugs# This one may take a while to write, as i'm beggining to get coursework and i have less time available to write fanfic (sobs).

Basically the stuff in the italics are flashbacks from Ruby's past. Or before Ruby's past.

Please read and review! I really love reviews! Thank you!

Maggie frowned, running her hands over her lower stomach. Could she be-? She bit her tongue. It would be absolutely wonderful to have a child, but she wasn't sure how Jimbo would take it. He hadn't said he didn't want children, but he always seemed so busy and wouldn't have enough time for a baby.

Maggie sighed, and pulled on her trousers. She briefly wondered what her father would say if he saw her now, and smiled. She opened the cabin door and made her way on deck, looking for Jimbo. She found him standing by the wheel, talking to the first mate.

"Jim?" She touched him lightly on the shoulder as she advanced. Jimbo looked around and caught her hand, squeezing it gently.

"Just put the Spanish flag up for a bit, don't pose a threat." Jimbo finished to his first mate. He nodded and walked away, shouting orders to the rest of the crew.

"What's that?" Maggie asked, nodding towards the first mate, who was now supervising the raising of the Spanish flag.

"Well, there's sail on the horizon, just off the port side, hopefully isn't anything too bad, but we don't want to be recognised just at the moment" Jimbo frowned at her. "Anyway, what's up with you? You looked worried."

"Um… well, actually I wanted to talk to you." Maggie said, awkwardly, wondering how she was going to put this.

"Uh huh." Jimbo said, swinging the wheel a little way towards the right.

"I think we're going to have a child." Maggie said.

"What?" Jimbo swung round, looking horrified. Maggie gulped.

"Well, it's not that bad, is it?" She asked, nervously.

"You're not married, Maggie. You'll be disgraced!" Jimbo said, looking back towards the horizon at the sails, which were now slowly becoming visible.

"Not if I stay here, with you." Maggie replied, feeling slightly annoyed. Jimbo sighed.

"We've been through this, Maggie. You can't stay here. It's too dangerous! I don't want to risk it." He said, as patiently as he could.

"You might not want to but I do." Maggie snapped at him.

"No, Maggie." Jimbo said firmly.

"Why not? I'm just as much of a pirate as you are." Maggie said.

"Your not a pirate. You never will be. And you can't stay here if you're pregnant. What if something happens and you lose the child?" Jimbo said, looking her in the eye.

Maggie looked away, defeated.

"Will you promise me something?" She asked. "Promise you will be a part of our child's life." Maggie looked at him.

He smiled.

"Of course I will!" He said.

"Why do you always have to cheat!"

"I didn't cheat!"

"Yes you did! I count using a cursed sword as cheatin'"

"It's my sword!"

Jack opened his eyes and rolled out of bed.

"Bloody kids." He muttered. He pulled open the door to his cabin. "Ruby!"

Ruby was Jack's niece; 15 years of age with long brown hair and a red tattoo of 'Ruby' underneath the pirate brand on her right arm. She had grown quite a lot over the past few years, however, she was still quite small for her age, but an excellent fighter and an orphan. The most fearsome pirate, using the sword she now held in her hand, had killed her father. She had then killed him, and became the new owner of the sword.

"What?" She demanded, swinging around and almost catching Jack's face with the edge of the blade.

Jack jumped backwards violently.

"Put that bloody thing away!" He hissed. Ruby re-sheathed the sword and gave Jack a sulky look.

Jack turned to the boy standing next to her.

His name was Johnny Turner, son of Will Turner, and grandson of Bootstrap Bill Turner. He looked exactly like his father; the same brown eyes and hair and facial features. His mother, Elizabeth Turner, had died in childbirth nearly 16 years ago.

"Will yeh please be quiet?" Jack snapped at him. Johnny frowned at him.

"It's not my fault! She was the one cheatin'." Johnny replied sourly.

"Right, we are going to destroy that thing." Jack said grumpily, nodding towards the sword at Ruby's side.

"What!" Ruby screamed. "Yeh can't destroy it! It's mine! Anyway, yeh don't know how to!"

"I'm sure I'll find a way." Jack snapped, and went back into his cabin, slamming the door behind him.

Ruby rolled her eyes at Johnny, and opened her cabin door, which was to her left. She threw her sword in and slammed the door.

"Ruby!" Jack shouted from his cabin. Ruby thumped his door as she went past, and climbed up on deck.

Johnny followed her.

"Johnny! When your father let you come on this ship, he meant for you to learn how to sail. We have been here six days and have you learned anything?" Anamaria pounced on him as soon as he stuck his head on deck. "No!" She answered her own question.

Johnny frowned.

"We have plenty of time!" He argued, as Anamaria steered him towards the wheel. "And I already know how to steer a ship!" Anamaria put his hands on the wheel.

"Steer then." She said and stalked off. Johnny frowned and ran his hands along the smooth wood of the wheel. He actually had no idea how to steer a ship, but it didn't look particularly hard. The trouble was, they were heading for Spain, and he honestly didn't know if he could keep it in a straight line or not.

"Ruby!" He called to his friend, who was standing by the side of the ship, staring quietly at the still waters.

She looked up.

"What?" She asked.

"How'd yeh know if yeh goin' in a straight line or not?"

Ruby smiled and walked over. She ran her hands over the wheel and pushed Johnny out of the way.

"Yeh keep it still." She answered.

Johnny raised an eyebrow. She grinned at him.

Ok bare with me! The first chapters always crappy, but it will get better...
