Chapter thirty-one
Aunt Rachel walked behind Lynn and Jack with little Frankie on her arm. Lynn looked back from time to time making sure her daughter was okay. Things had been went so well the last couple of days. She didn't trust it to last. She sighed when Jack pulled her arm trough his.
"What are ye thinking about?" he asked. Lynn looked up at him and smiled.
"I'm worried." Jack looked concerned.
"About what?"
"I feel as if something is going to happen soon." Jack smiled.
"The one time things are actually going the way they should and you're worried. Why can't ye just enjoy our luck?" Lynn nodded.
"I suppose I'm just being paranoid."
"Maybe a tad. Let's just keep our eyes and ears open...just in case."
"They're on their way captain." Morgan grinned contend.
"Are we ready for them?"
"Aye captain."
"Good." Morgan waved the man of and turned to Nathan.
"You see mr. McPherson. I'm a man of my word. Soon I will have my cousin and you will have your wife. Like a promised. As long as you don't try anything funny that means." Morgan said with a sly grin. Nathan wiggled in the chair trying to break the rope that tied him to his seat. His words were muffled by the gag in his mouth.
"What was that McPherson?" Morgan asked as he took the gag out of Nathan's mouth.
"You bastard!" The words were followed by a sharp blow to his face.
"You are in no possition to insult me mr McPherson."
Lynn's face light up when she saw the Pearls sail's near the harbor.
"Jack!" She squealed as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Finally!"
"She looks good enough. I was sure Annamaria would mess it up in some way or another."
"It's beautifull. I've missed it."
"Her love, her." Lynn smiled. Jack was obviously beaming at his ship and couldn't wait to get there and neither could she.
"Look aunt Rachel. It's the Pearl. We're allmost there." Aunt Rachel looked at the ship and smiled.
"A real pirate ship...this is so exciting! Maybe I should start wearing breeches to." Lynn chuckled as she took Frankie of her aunts arms and hugged the little girl to her chest.
"Look baby...that's daddy's ship. Isn't it...she pretty? We're going to live there." The baby just giggled and drooled on Lynn's shirt.
"Cute kid you've got there." A hand was placed on Lynn's shoulder and she whirled around quickly.
"Will!" she smiled recognizing the blacksmith.
"Good to see ye mate." Jack smiled as he shook the man's hand.
"Thought we'd meet you halfway. Will was getting anxious. He was getting on my nerves."
"The pearl looks great." Jack said. It was probably the closest he ever came to complimenting Annamaria. The woman smiled at Jack.
"Good to see you to captain. So...let me hold the squirt." Lynn smiled as she handed Frankie over to Annamaria.
"Thank god." Anna said.
"For what?" Jack asked as he looked at his little girl.
"That she looks like her mother." Anna joked as she gave Frankie back to Lynn.
"Hey!"
"Isn't this a cute family reunion?" The group turned as captain Morgan advanced on them.
"have to say I was only expecting three people, but I guess there's nothing my men can't handle." All around them men appeared from behind trees, armed to their teeth and ready to kill.
"I hope you can appreciate the little welcome home party I put together for you son." Jack glared into the man's eyes.
"I trust you've been taking good care of my granddaughter? She'll make a fine pirate one day...and hopefully a fine woman to."
"Get out of our way." Jack warned as he stepped in front of his daughter.
"Aww...Don't be like that son. As your father I deserve a little respect."
"You're not his father!" Lynn hissed.
"Ah...the lovely mrs McPherson. How good to see you in good health. Your husband is waiting for you back at the ship."
"I don't have a husband."
"Oh but you do. In fact I happen to have the proof of that right here. Now hand over the little one and I won't kill your friends and family." Morgan threathened.
"Leave them alone!" Lynn yelled.
"Jack my son. Seeing as you are my son, and a pirate I trust you know the value of a good ship...or two good ships. Think about it me boy. If you and your daughter come with me voluntarily you could rule both our ships after my demise."
"Wich would be very shortly if you keep talking like that."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you shouldn't forget your manners lad. Maybe your father should've turned you over his knee more often. Oh wait, that would be me. Don't worry...we have lot's of time to make up for the past."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Like I said...I'm your father. Or your uncle, take your pick."
"My father and my uncle? How could that..?"
"I hope your daughter will be as good in the sack as your mother was." Frankie sensed the danger and began to cry.
"Oooh, a screamer. I love it when they scream."
"You son of a bitch!" Jack yelled as he lunged at Morgan. A gun was fired and Jack fell to the floor with his face in a puddle of mud. Lynn screamed as she looked at Jack...he wasn't moving. Any living man would at least raise his head from the mud but he didn't...he was
"Seems like you're lover is dead. Hand me the baby or I'll kill you all."
"No!" Lynn yelled as she held Frankie close to her chest.
"I'll have them aim for your aunt next time luv. Do as I say." Lynn gasped.
"Please don't do this to us! He's your son! This is your grandchild."
"That's why I want to raise her my way! Hand her over."
"You're a monster!"
"I'll take that as a compliment missy." Morgan began advancing on her and Frankie and Lynn backed away.
"You're only making this harder on yourself."
"I'm not giving her to you." The man walked past Jack. Will stepped before Lynn and Frankie feeling the need to protect them.
"Will." Annamaria protested. But her husband wouldn't listen.
"Step out of the way lad. You don't know what you're getting yourself into."
"Like you would't kill me if I just handed her to you? I'd rather die knowing I tried to stop you then die because I was to much of a coward to try and help her."
"Spoken like a true pirate whelp." Morgan turned to be met with Jack's fist. He crumbled to the floor and Lynn sighed in relieve.
"You son of a bi" Morgan didn't get a chance to finish he was met by another blow to the face. His men immediately joined the fight. Lynn and Frankie stood at the side line as she watched Will fencing of three of Morgan's men. Annamaria took five men out one by one and kicked a sixth one where it hurts. Even aunt Rachel was beating the living daylights out of two pirates. It didn't take long before they had the upperhand. Lynn was relieved but as Jack was about to hit Morgan again he quickly pulled his pistol from his belt and aimed it at her head.
"One move and I swear I'll shoot." He threathened.
"Don't you dare!" Jack warned as he looked at Lynn and his daughter.
"You're careless son. A true pirate knows when to choose victory over his family." To bad I wasn't there to raise you.
"Thank God you weren't."
"Still...I'm guessing the woman would only be a burden." Morgan's finger tightened around the trigger...
PANG!
Jack closed his eyes at the sound of the gunshot.
"Son of a bitch! We made a deal. She wouldn't get hurt." Lynn's eyes were sperred wide open as she watched Nathan advancing on her.
"He wasn't that good with ropes either. Morgan was lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. He was dead for sure. Nathan rolled him onto his back with his feet and wrinkled his nose in disgust then he looked up at Lynn.
"I hope you appreciate the things I did to get you back my darling."
"Stay away from me Nathan!"
"Leave them alone!" Nathan turned to Jack.
"You know I realised something... She will never be mine completely...as long as you're still breathing. Good thing I know how to fix that." He aimed the pistol at Jack's head. Lynn gasped...it was her dream (see chapter 6) it was happening for real.
"Nathan no!"
