Lucas Sparrow smiled as he felt the cool and soft breeze run through his hair. He began to fall in love with the ocean's mist splashing him when the ship hit the wave. It was near midnight and neither Lucas nor Jack could sleep. Lucas was living a dream. He's wanted to sail since he was a small child. He wanted freedom and excitement and now he was beginning to feel he was going to get that and much more. As for Jack, He was feeling sick due to all of the rum he drank. He was also had a weird feeling about being with his son for almost the first time. He couldn't tell whether he was happy to teach his son the ways of a pirate or he wanted to turn around and put him back at Port Royal. He knew deep down that Elizabeth wouldn't want Jack to tell their son that he's Lucas father, but he didn't care. It was only fair that he told Lucas. Jack slowly walked up the stairs to the deck so he could talk to his son.

"This has to be the most useless ship I've ever commandeered" Jack said.

"You mean stole?" Lucas asked

"Like I said. Commandeered."

There was a small silence.

"So you're a pirate?"

"Aye"

"So how am I supposed to know if you're kidnapping me right now?"

"Because your parents trusted me, and a pirate I may be, but I try to keep my word. Sometimes. And your parents are great friends and I wouldn't want to lose their trust with you, savvy?"

"How do you even know my parents?"

Jack sighed because he knew this was going to be a long story that he would be too drunk to tell.

"Well, I guess it could all start with the Black Pearl. The true definition of Freedom…" and Jack proceeded to tell him how him and Elizabeth and Will met.

"But your mother and I," Jack said with a grin on his face, "we have history"

"How so?" Lucas asked.

"Well for starters she fed me to an overgrown, mutated, sad excuse of a bloody octopus. But I'm started to get over that."

"Then how are you still here?"

"Should have seen that one coming..." Jack said as he began to tell of Davy Jones and Jack's deal, and how Barbosa, Will, and Elizabeth went to the ends of the earth to save him.

"But over all the reason why I'm still here is because I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, mate"

After taking all of that information in, Lucas began to think.

"But one thing that doesn't add up is that after my mother kissed you, it changed nothing. My mom and dad still had me and they act like it never happened. Did you guys completely ignore it?"

This was it. Jack had to tell him now.

"You might want to take a drink or two for this one, mate," Jack said passing Lucas a bottle of rum

"I can't drink that," Lucas said

"Why?"

"I'm seventeen."

"Why the bloody hell are you going to let that stop you? Believe me, you'll regret it later if you don't drink it now"

"No! Just tell me." Lucas said starting to get annoyed as he pushed the bottle of rum away.

"Fine. The kiss. Oh, it became something all right. And that something is you, Mr. Luke Sparrow" Jack said

Luke became angry and ran his hand through his hair in frustration. Luke grabbed the bottle out of his hands and chugged it. His eyes began to get bloodshot. He wasn't sure to believe him or not. Impossible Luke thought, if he is my father, he's the worst father there ever was, is, and is to come. I haven't even seen him.

"No. You're not my father. William Turner is my father" Luke said

"You're father was a bloody eunuch. Sexual reproduction is impossible for him"

"My father wasn't a eunuch," Luke yelled

"I don't even want to know how you know that. Even if he wasn't, he sure acts like one" Jack yelled back.

There was a small pause,

"You have my eyes, son. If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother in Tortuga, but not Will because he doesn't know. Please don't tell him, because even if he's a eunuch, he's my friend and I wouldn't want to hurt him because I'm afraid that he might become like Davy Jones and will cut his heart out and seek revenge on me till the day I die."

It was then when Luke started to believe him because he said he could ask his mother.

"I'm sorry I was never there for you. Elizabeth wasn't sure I would be a good father and she wouldn't let me see you. She was afraid you'd be a pirate like me. And she knows first hand how much trouble I've gotten into over the years."

Luke sniffed and wiped away a tear. Jack rubbed his head like he used to when Lucas was a couple days old. Luke got up and hugged Jack. Jack made a weird face and struggled a little bit.

"Uh, Luke. I'm not a hugger," Jack said, sighing in relief when Luke let go. "You clearly got that from your mother."

"One more thing. Why Tortuga?" Luke asked

"Because it's my home away from sea." Jack replied with a grin on his face

"I know but what purpose?"

"I want to find a crew at Tortuga so we can find the Treasure of Atlantis: the most valuable treasure in the Caribbean. Once doing so, I will bargain with Larten Temples to get the Black Pearl back." Jack said. Jack had lost the Pearl to a fearsome pirate named Larten Temples in an epic battle. Jack was left for dead in the arms of the King's Navy while Larten took the Pearl and Jack's reputation of the greatest pirate that ever lived.

"But of course if you kill Lartin first then we can take the Pearl and still get the Treasure of Atlantis."

"Why me?" Lucas asked

"Because if you have half of my skills and half of your mothers intelligence and cunning, you'll be unbeatable!"

Lucas smiled to the sound of that. "So we're looking for Atlantis?"

"No, I couldn't care less about a missing city filled with historic value and much more possibility of over all greatness. I care about the Treasure of Atlantis that's in the missing city filled with historic value and much more poissiblitly of over all greatness."

"How are we going to find the treasure if it's miles underwater?"

"Believe it or not, I've thought of that and am going to make arrangements so we can get miles underwater, savvy?"

They both smiled at each other. Jack went back up to take control of the wheel. Soon they could hear the loud chattering and see the bright lights of Tortuga and soon they'd anchor.
