"Abigail! Please stay still. As soon as your father gets home, we are going to your grandmothers house for supper and you need to be ready." shouted Rose as Abi was in patient sitting the chair, while Rose was pulling her hair up. Abi sighed "Mother, father just got home today, why do we have to go to grandmother's? I want to spend time with father." Rose bent down to Abi's height. "Your father and my mother are not really close and he wants to prove to her that he is not so bad."
Abi looked at her mother with confusion "Why wouldn't grandmother like father?" Rose kissed her daughter forehead "It's complicated. Now come on. Lets get your flock on."
Jack walked through the door and Abi ran into his arms. Rose followed behind her daughter and smiled at Jack. "Oh Jack, you look wonderful. Now are you glad I made you go buy a suit." Jack smiled weakly and scrached his his forehead. His straight black hair was pulled into a loose ponytail and his face was nicely trimed. "Yes, Darling. But it still won't change what you mother thinks of me. " He said as he leaned in a gave Rose a kiss.
The three walked up to the big house. Abi was in the middle holding her parent's hands. They knocked on the door and a stiff man answered the door and let them in. They waited as a elderly woman came walking down the stairs, following her was a young man.
"Mother." Rose said with a smiled as she gave her mother a hug. The woman smiled at her daughter. Then she looked down at Abi and smiled weakly. "Abigail, you taking after you father everytime I see you." She looked up at Jack, who had a fake smiled on his face. She looked at him as if he was a worthless animal "Jack." She said then walked into the Dinning room.
Jack looked at Rose with a 'I don't want to be here look'. Rose just sighed as they followed the woman into the room.
They sat Around the table. Rose's mother was at the head of the table. While Jack and Abi sat on one side of the table and Rose and her brother sat on the other side.
"Rose, their going to promote me to captain soon. I will be incharge of my own ship." the young man said. Rose smiled at him "Thats wonderful news James. I'm glad to her." James looked at Jack "So Jack, hows the merchant business going for you?" Jack sat up straight and smiled weakly "It's going good. We are going to the Caribbean next to..ah..ship some..." Jack didn't know what to say. Rose looked at him "Medical supplies. They are a running low over there and Jack's ship was the fast and they need as soon a possible." She said to help him. Jack smiled at his wife "Yes."
The elderly woman looked at Jack with anoyance "How can one live on merchant sailor? It is such a crude job." Rose glared at her "Mother?" But she didn't stop talking "Is this how you are going to support my daughter? You know she was engaged to a duke before you came along and got her pergant with that child." Jack and Rose stood up at the same time. Jack picked Abi up and walked out of the room. Rose glared at her mother "That was uncalled for." She said and ran after Jack.
"Abi. Abi." someone called out to her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Will leaning over the bed "We are in Tortuga."
The three walked through the crowed streets of Tortuga. Jack smiled at her walked along . It is indeed a sad life that has never breathed deep this sweet, proliferous bouquet that is Tortuga , savvy? What do you think?" He said turned to Will. "It'll linger." Said the younger man as he looked around.
"I'll tell you mate, if every town in the world were like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted." He said as a woman came up to him "Scarlett!" -Slap- The woman slapped him across the face. He looks at Will and Abi "Not sure I deserved that." Then he looks foward again. "Giselle!" A another woman walks up to him "Who was she!" Then another hand met his face. He looks at Will "I may have deserved that one." Abi looks at him and rolls her eyes "Who do you think you are, Jack? Don Juan?" Jack raised his eyebrow at her.
"Well, we staying at the Silver Bell right. So I will met you there." She said and quickly turned a disappeared into the crowd. Jack opened his mouth to say something but she was already gone "Lets go." he said to Will.
Abi walked into a traven. It seemed more quite then the rest. She sat at the bar. She looked the bartender whos back was facing her. "I'll have a pint of rum." The man turned around and smiled "Alright." He placed a cup on the bar and poured her a drink. He had light brown hair that was pulled into a loose pony. His eyes were a dark green. Abi smiled and took a sip of her drink. "Is it always this quite here?" Then young man smiled, Abi figured he was about Will's age maybe a little younger. "No, there was this big fight and the boss kicked everyone out. In the next half hour it will be full again."
Abi took another sip of her drink. He started wiping down the bar top. "So are you alone?" he asked. She shook her head "No, I just need alone time from them. I was on a ship with them for fives days." The man laughed slightly, then gave her his hand "Donnie." Abi smiled and took his hand "Abigail."
