The 4 of them stood in shocked silence, Jack was still bent over Ana, not believe what he had found out, Milly was looking around not understanding what was going on, and Heather was grasping onto her son's hand for dear life, not taking in that she had just seen her best friend being killed.

As she looked up, she jolted back into reality. Watching the man bring his gun up again, pointing it towards Jack, it clicked in her mind that those shots hadn't been meant for Ana Maria, but for Jack, she had just gotten in the way. Looking down at Milly who was wandering in a circle, not knowing what was going on, her next actions surprised herself.

"Go now." Jack looked back up at her in surprise, wondering why she could even say something like that, when his lover was lying dead at his feet. In desperation Heather explained. "They weren't meant for her, they were for you! Jack don't let Amelia lose both her parents. Go now, I'll do whatever needs doing for Ana, and come back when it's safe to say a real good bye." Heather now had tears in her eyes, at the thought of having to bury her friend without even having her husband and daughter there. (They still thought Jack and Ana are married!) At first she didn't think Jack had understood her, but as he bent down and planted a kiss on Ana's forehead, and made to get up he move, the man that had been shooting suddenly jumped back into action. Jack grabbed Amelia up as the shot were fired, and even though a bullet went through his arm he didn't stop running until he was back on his ship. As Jack shouted for the anchor to be lifted and them to sail out of port, a tiny voice came from his arms.

"Daddy, you left mummy behind." Jack closed his eyes, how was he supposed to explain to a 2 year old why her mummy wouldn't be coming back?

"Captain, where's Ana?" Jack opened his mouth to speak but his daughter got there before him.

"There was a man with a gun and he shooted mummy, and she falleddd to the floowa and wouldn't get up again. And daddy lefted her behind with that lady with the boy." Gibbs took a second to understand what the little girl had just said, but as he realized what she meant, his mouth turned in to an 'O' shape. "Daddy why did you leave her behind?" Jack looked back down at her and sighed.

"I'll explain in minuet. First I have to go get a bullet out of my arm." Jack turned around to Gibbs. "Can you tell..."? Gibbs nodded his head understanding what he meant. "Amy go sit in my cabin, I'll be there in a minuet."

"Captain... is you alright... other then the obvious that is." Jack turned around to his friend once again.

"What do you think?"

As Heather watched the pearl heading out, she saw the man with the gun was standing still, with the pistol by his side. Shaking her head and blinking back the tears she bent over Ana. Placing her hand over Ana's heart, as if to make sure she really wasn't alive, she got the shock of her life! Underneath her hand was a very strong heartbeat and when she moved Ana's head so she could have a clearer airway, she could feel the faintest movement of air, that was Ana breathing.

"Oh no... he's left..." Heather didn't get time to finish the sentence she was saying to her-self as the man with the gun, had now hit her over the head with it, along with the little boy in her hand.

"Sorry, but don't worry you wont remember anything, you'll only have a headache." The man looked down at Ana and hit her on the head too... to make sure she wouldn't remember a thing about her life. "Sorry darling, but its for your own good." He then picked her up and shouted back for his crew to get back onto his ship as he walked towards it with Ana in his arms...

Jack sat Milly on his lap as she looked up at him with her eyes that resembled so much of Ana, Jack wondered if he would manage to tell her. Sensing something bad, was about to be told to her she curled up on his lap, wrapping his arms around her like a blanket.

"Where's my mummy?" her voice sounded tearful and upset that it hurt Jack more.

"She's in heaven with Jimmy. (A crewmate that died.)"

"But I don't want her to be. Why cant she come back down and be with us?"

"Because she's not alive anymore darling." Tears splashed onto her cheeks, as she didn't understand why her mummy wouldn't be around anymore.

"But I want my mummy! Why isn't my mummy here?" Jack began slowly rocking the tiny child in his arms, like he did when she was a baby. As he pressed his face into her hair, tears of his own left his eyes.

From down in the galley they could hear Millie's cries for her mother and every single pirate down there was sat in silence, none of them quite believing they would never see their first mate ever again.
