A/N thanks for all the reviews! You people rock! Ok, this chapters mainly (basically all) just a conversation between Jack and Ana Maria so there isn't much description. I wasn't that keen on it but see what you think... remember to review after... enjoy...

"He let my baby die." Ana was looking down at the bed, so she wouldn't catch Jack's eye.

"I thought you had 2? Did he let them both..." Jack trailed off, suddenly realizing this may be one of the most sensitive topics Ana had ever had about her life, and she might not want to talk about it much.

"One was a girl the other a boy. They were both born not breathing but they had a pulse. He told the mid wife to resuscitate the boy but leave the girl. He said she wasn't meant for the world. I held her while her life slipped away. I wasn't even aloud to kiss her until her heart had stopped beating!" tears were sliding down Ana's cheeks by now, but she still didn't stop telling her story. All Jack could do was sit and listen, which made him, feel helpless and that wasn't a feeling he liked. "He let me take her away with me. She never left my arms; I wouldn't let them take her away. They'd probably chucked her little body away like it was rubbish, and she wasn't. When I could manage to go back to the hut I lived in with some other 'slaves' they looked after me. Benny who was only 10 made a tiny wooden coffin for her, and they buried her outside our hut. A tiny cross was made and they scratched her name onto it."

"What was her name?"

"Louisa Annabelle. I don't remember my last name, and by then I'd lost all my identity anyway, but she deserved to have an identity. The thought of her made me get through the day. She couldn't live so I had to."

"What about the lad?" Ana laughed at the thought of him.

"I don't even know what my son's name is! The only time I have ever seen him is when I have to feed him. That man took away both my babies from me. They'd be nearly 9 months now. As soon as Louisa had died I'd decided I couldn't carry on in that place, but I couldn't leave my little boy to die of hunger either. That man wouldn't think of getting milk from elsewhere. Too much work. He'd just let him die. So when I wasn't being used as food anymore I decided that the next ship out have there was going to have me on it. The only ships I could ever get on were slave trade ships but I thought anywhere would be better then that place." Both Jack and Ana where silent for a few minuets.

"When you... when you think about your son do you give him a name?" a tiny smile appeared on Ana's face as she thought about the little boy she'd left behind.

"To me his name is James. To the rest of the hut I lived in his name was James. He was talked about a lot. The short time I had with him twice or 3 times a day was enough. We'd discuss every little detail of him from his hair to his toes, how big he was what he looked like. It kept me going. The people I lived with became my family. I was there for so long, and only once or twice did people have to leave and new people came. But we were still like a family."

"Didn't they mind you leaving?" Ana's eyes met Jack's briefly.

"They knew it was something I had to do. Actually they helped me, and god knows what happened to them when he found out I'd gone. None of them could stand what he did to me. I think they hated it more then me. I was numb to it." Ana paused and a smile flickered onto her face again. "They made me promise if I ever got free I had to go and get them to." Jack's lips turned upwards as though he was going to smile, but they didn't quite get there. "Jack. He'll be coming after me. Please don't let him get me." Jack looked up at her. She was pleading with him again, and after what he had just heard, it made him determined not to let him get a hold on her again.

"I wont. Do you want to go back for your friends?" a genuine smile appeared on Ana's face at his offer.

"And captain where exactly would you keep the extra 10 people? In the brig? And after we'd got them away where would we go? An island? Build our own houses, grow our own food? Make things, then sell them?" Jack looked at her and grinned.

"Exactly that. Although when I'd offered I hadn't thought of that possibility, but..." Ana laughed.

"Your crazy. We couldn't build our own village."

"Why not? Some of my crew knows how to build quality houses, and buildings. Surly some of your friends know how to build things too." Ana was shaking her head, hardly believing what she was being told.

"Ok, ok. So say this plan would work, we'd have to start building before we even got them, and what island would we use. All the ones people could live on are being used."

"That's where you're wrong. I know an island, which not many other people know about. That's where I store extra loot. People can live on it; it has grass, sand and sea. What else do you need? Other then buildings?"

"It would never work." Jack sighed and stood up.

"Ok, you come up with something different then. You want your friends saved but I'm sorry this is going to sound horrible and everything but if you go anywhere, because your black you'd be put straight back on a ship to be sold again. Especially if that guy really does go looking for you all, which I suspected he will. So where are you going to go that you can live your life without always looking behind you for someone to come and take you anyway again. Tell me that." Jack walked out of the cabin just as someone from the crow's nest shouted out 'sail ho'.
