Chapter 1 - December, 1750

"That's interesting."

Brett Ardener looked up at his best friend and raised his eye brows. "What is?"

Timothy Sparrow took an old book out of a chest he had found. His grandfather, Joshua Sparrow III, had recently died and left his house to his only grandson. Tim's father had died in an airplane accident three years before and now he was the last male Sparrow to carry on the name.

"This book." He said and opened it up; loose-leaf papers yellowed from age, fell out onto the ground. Picking one up he skimmed it quickly before reading it outloud.

"Today Molly and David were born and Chistopher's great-grandfather, Jack died. His wife; Elizabeth, died some years before I even met the old man..."

Brett stood up and picked up some more papers. "Hey listen to this."

"I told Thomas I wasn't ready to be a grandmother yet but he and his lovely wife Michelle had their first son and child Chistopher. Jack is really happy he has a grandson to keep the name going a few more years, I think that man honestly believes the name 'Sparrow' will never be fogotton."

Tim looked the papers over, some of the words hard to read with the handwriting and age of the paper. He would have to take it to a specialist.

"Well, they're obviously journal entries. But from when is what I would like to know."

Brett nodded in agreement and picked up the last piece. Reading it over to himself his eyes grew wide. "Tim listen to this!"

"My days on the sea are over, I lost the Pearl and now that Thomas is growing up he will need a father. There was a purge on the pirates and not only is my ship now at the bottom of the sea but so is Gibbs, Anamaria, Cotton, and the others.Why the gods decided I should live baffles me and the only conclusion is my wife. Elizabeth."

Brett finished the paragraph and looked up at his friend. "Your great-great-great-great and I'm sure more greats grandfather is Captain Jack Sparrow! Remember reading about him? He was captain of the Black Pearl and met his wife Elizabeth Swann in Port Royal. Dude, you're like, royalty."

Tim shook his head and took the paper. "No that was all a myth remember. The Black Pearl was cursed and only the spirit of Davy Jones could destroy it. Come on man that can't be real."

"It's right here in, well, almost plain english."

Tim shook his head again and opened the book and stared at the heading. "THE SPARROW FAMILY LINE"

The names started with Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann, it branched down to four children one of which must have died at a young age. Turning the page he saw the end, Timothy Marcus Sparrow. Shutting it roughly he put it away.

"Do you know how much this stuff is probably worth! I bet you could get some sweet moola."

"Brett this is my family."

His friend nodded. "Yeah, and do you know how many historians would love all this? They could write books and really understand piracy."

"Let's look through it before we make any decisions."

"I found it man. Listen to this."

"december 1740.

Will is gone and my life is over, Jack hasn't even been to Port Royal since his death, I think he just came to see him. Everything is happening at once and I think my life is ending. I lost Will and now the one person, the only person I trust won't come back into my life and I don't know where to look for him. Maybe he is dead too..."

"Do you think it's from her? Elizabeth?"

Tim took the paper and compared it with the other one she knew to be Elizabeth's handwriting.

"It has to be."

Brett laughed and ran a hand through his hair. "Man this is like those soap operas your wife watches. I wonder who this Will was. It seemed like Grandma Elizabeth had another man."

Tim didn't say anything for a while. "Did you find any more entries from Jack?"

"No. He didn't even finish the one we found. Something tells me he wasn't big on emotions." Brett said flipping through the book. One of the pages opened out and a handful of papers were inside. He started to read out loud.

"I met him today. He was just like I remember him from my imagination. Captain Jack Sparrow, the dirty stealing pirate saved my life. Never mind that his gun was placed roughly at my temple after wards but I didn't mind. I trusted him. His body was hard but gentle, as if telling me not to be afraid. The chains around my neck were cold but when he turned me around to face him his eyes were dark but they had a look of laughter in them. When his hands brushed my neck I shivered, it was an odd feeling but not at all unpleasent."

Brett put the paper down. "Seems like she had the hots for him the minute she saw him."

"Great, my past is a cross over between Passions and Days of Our Lives."

Brett had to laugh at this as Heather came in with Tim's daughters Lily and Victoria. "You know Tim, you're going to have to plant a boy here soon if you want this lovely tradition to continue."

"I know." He said and kissed his wife. "Hi honey."

"Hi boys, what have you been up to?"

The two guys told Heather about the book and what they had found inside.

"Oh how romantic! Can I see?"

Tim passed her some of the entries but she shook her head. "Oh no, I want to read one you haven't."

Brett opened the one page and handed her some papers.

She started reading out loud.

"December 1740

He came today. I wasn't expecting it but he came. I was looking out my window when the moon came out from behind the clouds and the soft light hit the ocean. The sails were dark and the ship had an eerie mist around it. I could almost see him at the helm. I ran out of the house and out onto the docks when I saw they had set foot on land. I didn't even think as I fell into his arms. His soft, kind voice told me it would be okay. Now I'm watching as he sleeps in my bed. I fear I feel what I knew since the day he saved my life. I'm in love with Captain Jack Sparrow."

Heather sighed and held the paper to her heart. "How romantic. Tim, hows come you never do anything romantic for me?"

"Because piracy is illeagal?"

She just glared at him and read some more pages to herself.

Tim was learning about his odd but interesting past but what went unnoticed was that some of the pages were turning blank.
