Disclaimer: I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean.

Previously:

Jack thinkes back to his childhood and how hard it was on his mother. He's worried he'll be a bad father to his own child.

When he finds Lynn up in the Sparrow's nest he's very overly protective of her. They talk and he tells her he will accept the baby as his.

Will and Annamaria share a funny moment.

Chapter 25: Family relations

"Their getting ready to go ashore. We can't go any closer. Tis a dangerous place for pirate vessels. Specially when Jack Sparrow's around." Captain Morgan said as he watched the land appear on the horizon.

"They seem to be going ashore, why can't we?" Nathan asked as he paced back and forth hoping to catch a glympse of Lynn.

"Because we don't want to draw attention to ourselves. If I know Sparrow and I think I do. He'll have some secret place to go ashore. He'll probably send the ship away while he's there and has the crew pick him up later." Nathan nodded.

"He's never that casious when he goes to Port in Port Royal." He stated. Captain Morgan grinned.

"That's cause his dad ain't in Port Royal." Nathan looked up interested in the storie to come.

"Jack's dad blamed Jack for having to marry the late mrs. Sparrow. He thought Jack ruined his life so he kicked him out as a young lad with a warning never to return to England cause if he did his father would make sure he'd regret it."

"How would he do that? I hardly believe Jack Sparrow would be affraid of one old man. What's he going to do? Turn him over his lap?" Nathan laughed at his own joke.

"Didn't I mention that Jack's dad is a commodore in the Royal navy. And a corrupt one at that. He can do whatever he want to Jack." Nathan nodded in understanding.

"You certainly know a lot about mr Sparrow's past." Nathan stated as he turned to look at the Black Pearl."

"What did ye expect. You mean I forgot to tell ye..?"

Jack smiled as he watched Lynn standing at the railing looking at the land that had first appeared on the horizon a few hours ago. It wouldn't be much longer untill they arrived in England. She turned to him. He reveled at the side of her big smile. She went to stand between him and the wheel as she leaned her back against his chest.

"How much longer?" she asked nodding in the direction of the land.

"We'll get there by nightfall. I'm only taking a few men with us. The others are taking the Pearl. They'll return for us a week later."

"Good, then the Pearl won't draw any unwanted attention." Jack smiled as he leaned his chin on her shoulder and placed a protective arm around her waist. He could allready feel the small bump on her stomach, but it wasn't yet visible when she was wearing her clothes. At night he had once rolled up her nightshift and stared at her belly with disbelieve.

"I can't wait to see aunt Rachel again. I haven't seen her since I was a child." Jack laughed softly.

"Would it be very rude if I were to say that's only logical? After all ye were blinded as a child."

"Yes, it would be very rude." Lynn smiled.

"Fine, I won't say it then." Lynn turned to face him and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

"Since when do you care about beind rude or not?"

"Since Annamaria returned."

"You seem cheerfull." Will stated after observing Annamaria for a while while she was cleaning her cabin.

"I'm gonna be the captain of the Pearl for a week." Anna sang. Gibbs was one of the men to go ashore with Jack and Lynn.

"Don't think Jack would appreciate it very much if you called yourself the captain." Will stated as he walked inside to help Anna.

"I don't care. Jack will be gone for a week so I can do whatever I want. Maybe I'll paint the Pearl pink." Will chuckled.

"Didn't think you were a pink person."

"Just to piss of Jack."

"Do you have a deathwish or something." Anna grinned as she handed Will a rag.

"If you're going to keep me compagny you might as well lend a hand." She stated. "Start scrobbing."

"What am I your maid?"

"No, your a very good friend who doesn't want to make me do all this alone." Will muttered something she couldn't really make out but started working on the floor of the cabin.

"What if I told you Jack asked me to keep an eye on you and the Pearl?" Will suggested with an amused grinn as he saw Annamaria drop her rag and turn to him.

"He asked you that? Why?"

"In case you try to paint the Pearl pink."

"hahaha" Anna said sarcasticly as she picked up her rag and soaked it in the bucket of water. When Will returned to scrobbing the floor with her she got up and walked over to him gently so he wouldn't notice. With an evil smirk on her face she wrung out the rag over Will's head so the water leaked onto him. Cursing but laughing at the same time he got up.

"You'll pay for that one!" he warned Annamaria who just laughed.

"I don't need a babysitter." She just stated. With a grinn Will lunged at her and tackled her to the floor where he started tickling her without merci. Anna writhed and laughed as she tried to slap away Will's hands.

"Will! Stop it! It's not funny!" she squeeled.

"Appologize!" Will demanded.

"For what?" he dug his fingers in deeper drawing a deep sound from her troath.

"Fine! I'm sorry! Now stop it!" Will grinned victoriously as he stopped his torture and looked down at Annamaria.

"Thank you. I accept your appology." He stated. Annamaria glared daggers at him wich he returned with a broad smile.

"Do you mind getting off of me?" Annamaria asked softly when she realised the possition they were in.

"Oh...right." Will looked away trying to hide the blush creeping onto his features. He was about to get up when the door opened.

"We'll be...What the hell?" Anna and Will looked up at Lynn standing in the doorway with a big knowing grinn on her face. "I'm sorry. I should've knocked. I'll leave you two alone." She quickly turned and closed the door behind her. Will jumped up and ran after Lynn.

"Lynn!" Lynn turned to him with a big smile on her face. "It wasn't...we weren't."

"Will you don't have to explain to me. I'm glad you and Anna"

"We were just cleaning her room." Will tried. Lynn arched an eyebrow as she looked at him.

"That's the worst excuse I ever heard. People don't need to be on top of each other to clean their room you know." Will had a desperate look on his face.

"It's true! She soaked me and I tickled her." Lynn smiled.

"How cute."

Lynn laughed as she saw Jack walk on steady ground. He seemed drunk, even though he hadn't as much as touched a drop since the news of the baby.

"We'll see how you walk little missy!" Jack yelled as he watched Gibbs help Lynn out of the small boat.

"I'm a great walked. I've walked in the dark for years I think I can manage steady grounds." Lynn replied.

"Just hurry up! I'd like to find us a place to spend the night before it's time to wake up again." Lynn walked over to Jack, but soon found she might have been wrong about her previous statement. She was as bad as Jack and she was certain she couldn't walk in a straight line if her life depended on it. Jack laughed as she wobbled towards him and quickly pulled her arm trough his.

"Thought you could walk just fine."

"Shut up and find us a place to sleep." Lynn said, her pride slightly injured as Jack, Gibbs and three other crewmembers laughed at her.

"Didn't I mention that Jack's dad is a commodore in the Royal navy. And a corrupt one at that. He can do whatever he want to Jack." Nathan nodded in understanding.

"You certainly know a lot about mr Sparrow's past." Nathan stated as he turned to look at the Black Pearl."

"What did ye expect. You mean I forgot to tell ye..?" captain Morgan grinned, you could hear a pin drop in the room. "Jack's mother..."

"What about her?"

"Her maidenname was...Morgan."
