1Amalthea727: haha yea the cave scene was a little disturbing, but it was really fun to write. I don't know, yea Diana's guards should know whose staying there, but I thought it would be more fun and interesting for an aroused, and tired Jack to get up and someone's face. Thanks for the review! I heart coffee: Thanks for the review, haha yea please review, even if it's like.. Great, wonderful, or you suck. Lol but hopefully not the latter one. Ahh I wouldn't kill Jack, that's just mean. Lol keep up the reviews! Emilio's Loofah: haha we're both married, rich women now! Aren't you ecstatic? Dublin was beautiful, same with all the wonderful places we visit, and Hong Kong should be rather interesting as I've never been there before! But if there's shopping, bring it on! Right Johnny? "Oh, yes, right darling whatever you say, sweetheart." he's got a cold and took some Sudefed. He should be fine though, he's just a little out of it. Aren't you honey? "It's not my turn to walk the dog, Katherine, you take her out." see? He's insane. We've already dropped the dog off at the sitters. Oh well, see you soon, love. Kisses for Emilio also! Xox.

Here's this darlings- -

"This, my friends, is not to be taken lightly. This is a survival match, a game of the strongest. If you are weak, you will die, and we will lose. I don't like losing," Jack said sternly as he looked upon the faces of ten very confused young boys. They all had their faces painted to look like wild Indians and they carried sticks in their hands, carved crookedly and painted in odd colors and ways. Jack sighed as he looked over at Will and his team, then he looked back to his own band of wild children. Diana had said to babysit for the day, so that's what he was doing. He was babysitting. "Alright, alright, come closer," Jack said and they all huddled together secretively, like Jack had the greatest secret in the world. And of course, to them, it was the greatest secret in the world, coming from the greatest pirate that ever lived. "Here's the plan. You go out there, and you have fun. Get those thieves off yer land do ye understand me!" Jack shouted and the boys yelled excitedly in response, stabbing the air with their hand made sticks and thumping their feet on the grass with, crushing the perfectly cut blades.

Will looked up at Jack's team of boys and smiled widely. This he could do. He could easily spend a whole entire day teaching boys the games he and Jack knew when they were children. He could spend a whole day coaching a band of wild and fool-hardy boys how to celebrate an entire day. This was much easier than working on a ship in the hot sun all day. His group of no good, dirty rotten thieves were ready.

"William!"Jack shouted from the other side of the great open space that was part of Diana's courtyard. Will smiled and nodded his head in Jack's direction. "Are you ready to lose you bloody..." Jack's group looked up at him at the mention of the word bloody because it was so foreign to them. Jack instantly cursed himself and bent down to the kids quickly. "That's a bad word don't ever say that," Jack said quietly and rose from his knee to his feet. "You wonderful lad, you?" Jack shouted and winked at Will who tried very hard to stem his laughter.

"Yes, Jack! Yes, we're ready," he shouted back and Jack nodded.

"Alright boys, remember what we talked about. "On the count of three, Will!" Jack shouted and Will nodded. "One, two...you bloody cheaters! Go boys, run!" Jack shouted as Will's boys started across the open field.

Their boys clashed in a blur of sticks and wooden guns, no harm. The sticks were not sharp and the guns didn't go bang, like they begged and pleaded Jack for. So they didn't do any real damage, but when they went back to their homes that night, their parents would wonder where the extra bruises and scrapes came from. They fought each other until they were either lying on the grass from exhaustion, or restrained by Jack or Will. And when they were done, their parents didn't have to wonder where the bruises and scrapes had come from because they were all behind them, watching them from the patio. Little did Jack and Will know. So as the two pirates charged and threw kids around, swung kids up on their shoulders, dog piled on each other, tackled Will to the ground, and chased a screaming Jack around the field, their parents and more were watching with admiration and satisfaction.

Isabelle sat off to the side with Elizabeth as she watched her beloved husband run and jump and play and skip. They leaned against the stone railing together and smiled merrily. Little did the pirates know they were entertaining such a large crowd of silent noblemen and women. Isabelle was happier today than she had ever been in her entire life. She knew a secret, a wonderful, beautiful secret that would bring a smile to everyone's face. Elizabeth smiled when she heard, then she danced Isabelle around happily and laughed and laughed. So as Isabelle sat near her husband, but not too close, she wondered. 'How will he be with our child?'

Jack and Will laid on the grass next to each other, both breathing heavily, for they couldn't remember the last time they had run so long and so fast. Those kids were extremely spry. Will finally broke the silence and coughed lightly, sighing afterwards and letting his hand thump back to the cool green grass. "When do you think their parents will be home. I can't play another round of thieves and Indians." Jack laughed and turned himself over, pulling himself to his feet and helping Will up with him. Then he saw what he wasn't able to see when he was running around in a blind rush to keep up with the kids.

"William, we have company," Jack said quietly as he watched all the faces of the people standing and sitting and waiting and watching.

"Dear God, their parents are here," he said and the audience broke out with laughter, because they had been there far longer than Will or Jack knew.

"Bravo Mr. Sparrow, Mr. Turner. We have all seen that you are fully capable of taking care of the children. Even if your games were a little dangerous," Jack and Will smiled and let their breath go. Jack scanned the crowd for the face he wanted and smiled when he found her smiling back at him, simply glowing.

"Well," Jack began, eager to get back to his wife, whom he hadn't seen all day. "Even though we've had fun the past three hours frolicking and wrestling with your wonderful lads and lasses, I think it's time for them to file out." Jack heard an unhappy moan from behind him and he turned around. "Yer all welcome back here anytime your mom and pop go out," he said gently and the kids' faces lit up with joy as they ran back to their finely dressed parents with paint and dirt all over their bodies. Jack laughed and smiled as Isabelle ran toward him and threw her arms around him lovingly. "Well hello, love," he said, kissing her softly. She smiled up at him and kissed him back.

"Hello, Jack," she said and looked right past his eyes and into his soul. She took a deep breath and kissed him one more time. "Jack, I have some good news," she said lovingly as she held him tighter. He smiled back at her and nodded his head.

"What's that, darling," he said and watched as she struggled with her words for a moment.

"I'm pregnant," she said softly. There was a silence and for a sickening moment she thought that it wasn't what he wanted and the sounds of the people behind her were deafening her and she thought she would die then. But as soon as the moment ended Jack let her go and shouted with absolute happiness, running around from person to person, grabbing Will by the back of his shirt and pulling the young blacksmith into a hug. He grabbed Elizabeth and picked her up easily, twirling her around like mad and putting her down again. He ran over to Diana and picked her up and threw her in the air joyfully, all the while yelling.

"I'm going to have a baby! A baby!"

Jack and Isabelle walked through the town with Elizabeth and Will, who had long since broke off from them and gone to a dress shop on Elizabeth's command. Will had moaned and protested that he couldn't leave Jack, that he had to babysit him and stay with Isabelle incase she had the baby then and there. But Elizabeth merely whacked his arm playfully and assured him that Jack would be able to control himself for ten minutes and Isabelle wasn't even a month in yet. Will's face fell to the ground, knowing he was going to miss something funny the couple would do or say and he wouldn't be there because he and Elizabeth were spending their hard plundered money on a silk dress.

Just as Will expected, Jack and Isabelle cracked silly jokes about random people and made fun of the things that didn't immediately appeal to their experienced eyes. Which obviously meant the dress or shoe or necklace was not up to par. The two pirates, one taller than the other by a head, the other small and petite, walked hand in hand down the long winding roads of the city. They walked straight through the town square, where they stopped and payed their respects on Jack's wishes. Isabelle walked up to the bronze plaque that was bolted four times to the white marble.

The bronze plaque was so large, that Isabelle had to walk from side to side to read it all. There was a beautiful carving of "Her majesty Ana Lucia" in the bronze. She was a very beautiful young woman, who threw her life away simply because she wanted more. She had long, shimmering hair that touched her waist and full, lush lips, set in a harsh line. Her eyes didn't twinkle with the love of her country like Diana's did, and her cheekbones were hard and sharp, defining. Isabelle ran her hand gently over Ana's face and felt every curve and contour under her soft hands. She then stepped back and looked over her face, trying to find something happy about the young queen. She thought for such a beautiful young woman, she was so filled with tension. Her hands were balled into loose fists, and her neck was straight, not leaning forward or backward, but looking straight ahead. Her dark, circular eyes pierced right through Isabelle and made her shiver in the unnaturally hot midday air. She couldn't imagine meeting someone so stoic in person. This picture was all she could take of the brief queen.

Isabelle turned around sharply and ran straight into her husband's chest. She instinctively threw her hands up to push away from the person, but a familiar pair of hands came up around her and she relaxed, letting her hands rest on his chest. She heard the soft hum of his voice through his chest as he spoke, as he read the words on the plaque.

"In memory of the young, enchanting Queen Ana Lucia DeLuis. She wore her country around her neck like a proud medallion. Like everything else in the world, happiness had a price for the young beauty. And although she had riches far beyond anyone's wildest dreams, she was poor. Two years later, her sister, the rightful queen of the Amazon, Queen Diana Elaine DeLuis took the throne. Her majesty, Ana Lucia was killed publicly as Queen Diana ascended to the throne. The majestic city gathered along with the proud and ever loyal Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew. Ana Lucia, a woman of only twenty-two, was killed, wearing the crowned jewels and her pride," Jack finished, rubbing Isabelle's back gently when she sighed deeply, listening to the words as they flowed so easily from her captain's mouth. Her ear tickled from the constant vibrations coming from his comfortable chest and she smiled. "It's really a sad story, love. I'll tell you sometime when I have the patience," Jack said and laughed when Isabelle groaned in frustration. When Jack kept a good story or tale or legend from her, she always twisted and turned until he broke down and told her.

"I'm sure the baby will love it," she said gently and Jack pulled away from her with a cocky grin on his face.

"Oh, so you're goin' to use that again me now are ye?" he said smugly, knowing he finally figured her out before she got him.

"Perhaps." Jack let out a loud moan of half laughter and half weariness. She had got him and they both knew it. She smiled smugly and he laughed, pulling her into his body as they walked away from Ana Lucia's final resting place. Isabelle threw one last glance over her shoulder at the bronze plaque in all its glory and smiled. She could have sworn she saw the corners of the young queen's mouth twitch and shudder, but she closer her eyes and shook her head, following Jack by his lead. Pictures don't smile back.

They found Elizabeth and Will some time later, with no boxes of any sort. In fact, they hadn't even spent any money. "Where have you two been?" Isabelle asked Elizabeth, eyeing her mussed hair and her crooked shirt. "Never mind, sweetheart. It's alright," Isabelle said and patted her friend on the shoulder. Jack just laughed and clapped Will on the back, still holding onto Isabelle, who he hadn't let out of his sight all day long. She knew, and she surely didn't mind because when they went out in public, it's not her who wanders off and gets lost, it's him who should seriously be on a leash. She was always losing that pirate, always calling his name in a crowd and finding no one until someone comes up behind her and picks her up, scaring her half way to hell. But this was nice, she didn't have to shout or go out of her way to find a silly old husband.

They all made it back to the palace in one piece. It was far after dark and there were already guards posted at the doors. Jack walked up to them and Elizabeth and Isabelle were quick to intervene, knowing his temper was about as patient as a storm over a sea. "Hello, we're back from town," Isabelle said graciously and smiled a little. The guards nodded and held the doors open for the four to walk in. "Thank you," she said gently and held her hand out for Jack to catch up, something he always did for her. But he reached her and grasped it firmly, allowing her to pull him up to speed with her.

They passed the glass meeting room where Diana was seated with five finely dressed men around a table. Jack and Isabelle walked up to the glass, knowing full well that they shouldn't interrupt the queen when she was taking care of business, but they were kids at heart and rarely paid attention to the rules at all. Jack knocked on the glass with one knuckle and Diana's golden hair fell around her shoulders as she turned her head gracefully. Her hard, stern face brightened at once and her eyes sparkled with excitement again a she looked at the beautiful couple behind the glass. She waved wordlessly and blew Isabelle a kiss, winking at Jack. She mouthed the words 'behave' toward the two and they laughed out loud, nodding their heads and winking. Her lips parted in a silent laugh, because she too knew that there was no way for the Sparrow's to contain themselves.

After racing each other down the hallways and playing catch with some of the most valuable things Isabelle had ever seen in her life, they retired. Well, Isabelle hadn't really said she'd play catch, that's just what it turned into when Jack threw a diamond studded ball at her chest. Luckily, she had spent the last seven years on a pirate ship, and had impeccable reflexes. "Jack Sparrow," she hissed as she threw the little ball back in his direction. He caught it with ease, looked it over, and then promptly threw it back at her. "Jack!" she hissed again, smiling slightly as she tossed the expensive ball back at him. Jack caught it again and smirked, tossing it back to her. She caught it and this time she walked it over to the stand and just as she was about to put it back where it was supposed to be, Jack grabbed her around the waist and hoisted her high in the hair, causing her to squeal with delight and happiness. She squeezed her pretty brown eyes shut and laughed, bearing her teeth. "Jack!" she breathed between mindless laughter.

"Alright, alright, love," he said as he set her back on the ground and allowed her to put the diamond ball back where he stole it from, but not after taunting her a little before she replaced it.

"Jesus, Jack you could have given me a heart attack the way you were throwing that diamond...thing at me... well what if I didn't catch it!" she said and Jack merely laughed with amusement.

"Ye did, darling," he said and she smiled widely, unable to withstand his magical charm.

A memory is not just something you throw away and forget about. It's something that will live in the bottom of your heart until your spirit dies.
