A/N: Sorry for the delay in updates. I just recently got my inspiration back for this story. I know this chapter is really short but its the best I could do.

Chapter 4

"What!" Both Ana and Gibbs yelled. "Why didn' you tell us?" she asked her lover.

Jack glared at Gwen. "'ve told ye, luv. 'm no' the prince. Yer 'usband is. I gave tha' up a long time ago."

"Jack." Anamaria said breaking up what could have been another argument between the two siblings. "Why didn' ye tell us? All this time we coul' 'ave been safe from bein' 'ung and ye didn' bother to mention it? Tha' Commodore coul' 'ave been fired."

Jack turned his eyes from Gwen to Ana. "It ain' somethin' I like ta remember."

"That's really sad, Johnny. You don't like remembering you have a family who does care about you." Gwen said angrily.

"Last I seen o' dear ol' Da' 'e told me ta leave!" Jack said sitting down and propping his feet up on the table. "an' don' call me Johnny." he growled as Will came down the stairs with Aaron who stared wide eyed at Jack.

"Papa why's there a pirate in the house?" Aaron asked Will.

Will put him on the floor and he ran right over to the pirate captain. "He's your uncle." he told the boy.

"Really!" Aaron shrieked climbing into Jack's lap making the pirate cringe. Jack looked over at his sister for her to tell him what to do. Little Aaron looked at him hopefully. Jack stared into his nephew's eyes. They were the same color as his sister's and mother's.

Jack mentally sighed and grinned. "Aye lil mate 'm yer uncle." Aaron shrieked again and wrapped his arms tight around his uncle's neck. After letting Jack play with Aaron for a bit and after hearing the boy sing 'My uncle's a pirate' for half an hour Gwen took him into the kitchen to get his lunch. That gave Jack the perfect opportunity to interrogate his brother-in-law.

"So mate," Jack began taking a drink out of the bottle of rum Gwen had given him. "how long 'ave ye and me sister been married?" he asked Will who had been trying to read a book.

"We've been married since the day she turned 18." Will replied smiling a bit.

"It didn' take ye too long then." At that Will blushed. Jack didn't have to know anything had been going on between Gwen and him before they were married.

Jack suddenly turned serious. "'ow long has 'er da' been sick?" he asked.

"About six months. The doctor said he probably won't last much longer." Will told him putting his book down.

"Why di' Gwen come lookin' for me?"

Will picked up the bottle that Jack had been drinking from and took a sip. "Adam has been wanting to see you Jack. He told her to go find you and bring you back so he could see his son once last time."

Gwen and Anamaria were just coming back into the room when Jack stood up. "Gwen, luv. I'll be back. I 'ave ta go do something." Gwen smiled at her brother and nodded.

Jack grabbed his hat and walked out the door towards the palace where he had spent the first fourteen years of his life.
