A/N There isn't any Jack in this one today, but there will be a lot of him in the next chapter which will be up soon, if I get any reviews… enjoy…


Amber walked up to James who was sitting at his desk studying pieces of paper in front of him. She was so silent and still, that when she touched his shoulder he jumped out of his skin.

"Amber what the hell do you think you are doing?" James looked more than annoyed at his sister for disturbing him.

"Is it yours?" James looked at her blankly. "The baby. Is it yours?"

"Of course it is… what do you think… oh wait you knew that… no the kid isn't mine, but it will be bought up as if it is. Understand?" Amber's expression was unreadable as she looked towards the ground.

"Does… Does she…" James tapped his foot on the ground becoming inpatient at his sisters dithering.

"Well? Spit it out."

"Does she have another child?" James gave a laugh.

"Yes she does. Girl by the looks of things. Unless the other woman was holding her son and she was holding that women's daughter… but unlikely. Anyway so what if she does?"

"You took away a child's mother? I knew you were taking her away from that man, but you said… you said that he was keeping her prisoner. Making her stay there. And that it would be kinder of us to take her away from her hell… as long as she didn't know about it."

"Yes and we did take her away from hell."

"But if it was such a bad place, why not take the little girl as well? If he was such a bad man-"

"Amber will you shut up. I didn't take the kid because I didn't want her. I didn't know Maria was going to be pregnant. Otherwise I would have waited until it was born. I'm surprised it didn't die actually. I did empty a gun into her stomach." Amber shook her head, her face showing she was clearly disgusted at her brother.

As Amber turned to go out, for the first time they noticed Anamaria was in the room. And her face clearly showed she had heard a great deal of their conversation. As it turned out, she had followed Amber worried about why she was so unhappy and quiet since the doctor had been. The fact that she had stumbled into the office mid conversation was coincidence. She had heard the whole conversation from when James admitted the child she was carrying wasn't his.

James opened his mouth to say something but Anamaria got there before him.

"Tell me everything. And I mean everything. I want the truth and answers now."

"Maria darling…"

"Now!" James closed his eyes, trying desperately of a way to get out of the mess. The only problem for him was that his sister was beginning to feel terribly guilty after hearing the news that there was a little girl out there that believed her mother was dead. Having lost her mother at such a young age she couldn't bare to think she helped inflict that pain on another person. Or persons, if the man she had been with actually loved her and wasn't the monster that her brother had made him out to be.

"He kidnapped you, while you were visiting some people on a tiny island. You were with a man, he told me was keeping you prisoner. Only I'm not too sure if that's the truth now." Amber shot her brother a dirty look. "Anyway, you were with him and a little girl it would seem. I think that would be your daughter."

Slowly memories started to come back to Anamaria, such as holding a little girl in her arms for the first time, being on a ship and smiling up at a man with messy hair, laughing hysterically at that same man while he danced and sung, completely and utterly drunk yet still sober.

"Tell me more. How… how did you do it?"

"I shot you." James spoke up for the first time. Looking directly at Anamaria he continued. "And made it look like I was trying to get that man, so they would run away."

"They ran away?"

"He thought you were dead Maria." Amber spoke to inform her 'sister in law'.

"Yes indeed they did. But you weren't, and your friend realized this, so I whacked her and her little boy out too. The I knocked you over the head to get rid of any memories you would have of your former life." It was all starting to come out now. "Then I bought you back here, I'd been planning it for months, I had recently moved here so they thought you were still back in England waiting for me. When I took you off the ship and placed you in our room I rang the doctor and told him my wife had had a nasty fall down the stairs. That's when we found out you were pregnant."

Anamaria sat down, unable to grasp all the information that she was being told. It was beginning to make sense to her, and she still couldn't quite believe it.

"What about the man I was with, and the girl, my daughter. What about them, what are their names what?"

"You were with and could be married to, Captain Jack Sparrow." It was Amber speaking again. "I don't know your daughters name. Maria we thought he was a nasty man keeping you without your consent. He said he was using you as his whore."

Everything came back to her, her life before the Pearl, life before Jack sparrow, then the life with Jack Sparrow and everything that had gone with it. Him, her daughter, and their life she could remember it all. And she remembered how she had met up with James Chile again, and how he had almost ruined her life with Jack before her daughter had been born.

She remembered her daughters first steps, the first nights with Jack, Cathy, Will, her daughters first words, watching the sun come up and set again, the feeling of total peace and calm, only to have that broken by a man who thought he knew everything! Anger started to boil inside her, and her eyes showed fire that made both Amber and James take a step back.

"He is not a vile and horrible man, I was not his whore and I was most defiantly there with my consent. What right do you have to make my family believe that I am dead, and for you to make me think you are the one I love, when James Chile you most certainty are not. The man you described to Amber was yourself."

"Maria-"

"No! I want to go home."

"You are home. I'm not letting you go without a fight."

"Than you shall have your fight. I am leaving to find my lover and my daughter whether or not you like it. And I am leaving tonight."

As Anamaria got up, James walked towards her only to be stopped by Amber who had put her foot out to trip him up. While he was on the floor, she knocked him out with the book he had been studying, and when she next looked up Anamaria was gone…
