Sorry about the rant again, I was not in the greatest of moods when I wrote that, hardly your guys fault. But thank you all for your lovely reviews, I got 8 for chapter 15 and am now up to 80 reviews. Well anyway on with the show, er book, er story. Oh Rachel he was on the Diamond not his ship so it wasn't his cabin and the two speechless women were Gabby and Kasha.
Oh and CJ, I totally understand only it's my cable internet that keeps craping out on me.
Hey… think we can make it to 90 reviews for this chapter? Let's try! And if we do I'll have a present for all of you:)
Chapter 16
Missed Love
Jack stood at the helm of the Diamond, steering towards the Pearl. It had been three weeks since they had departed spain and he knew they were close to his ship. He was a little disappointed that he hadn't gotten to put his plan into action, it was such a good plan. He steered for a while, trying to forget the son he had left behind, the son that had wanted to be left behind.
A pair of arms circling around his chest shocked him from his reverie.
"Was it really that bad on the Pearl?" Jack asked Rena, pulling her closer. "Maybe we shoulda retired after the children were born, it's not as if we don't have enough plunder."
"He, they, love it aboard that ship Jack, he was just swayed by the thought of ruling a Country, it's not our fault love," Rena said, kissing his cheek.
"Ye seem te be walkin better," Jack observed with a smile.
"It's been over a month since the cast was off, and three weeks aboard the Diamond has done me good." Jack smiled and pulled her in front of him, holding her as he steered the ship.
"Alan sleeping?" Rena nodded against hi shoulder. "Is she doin any better?" Rena shook her head, not wanting to speak about her daughter. After they had gone aboard the Diamond Alan had broken down into sobs, she wanted her brother. She had begged and pleaded for them to turn the ship around and get him, but it was too late and they all knew it. Dem would never step foot aboard the Pearl again. She hadn't left their room since.
"Will she?" Jack asked.
"I don't know," Rena said.
"Why don't I take over Jack, let ye get some rest before we reach yer ship?" Bandit asked as he headed up the stairs to the helm.
"Sounds like an idea mate," Jack said, stepping down and giving Bandit control. Jack led Rena into their cabin and pulled her down onto the bed next to him, holding her tight. He looked over at his daughter's sleeping form and smiled contentedly until thoughts of his son intruded into his happiness. He would give almost anything to have him back.
"How are you doing Demetrius?"Raul asked, coming and sitting next to the boy on his large bed.
"I'm tired and bored a lot, I miss Alan, and mother and fa," Dem admitted.
"And you will, but don't worry we have a system set up to get your mail to them quickly, and theirs to you. It will get easier," Raul smiled and tousled the boys hair. Morgead had left for Portugal a week after Saihrena had left telling Raul he wouldn't be back. Raul was glad to hear it, it meant he need not look after the boys safety too closely.
"I'll let you get your sleep," Raul said, leaving Demetrius alone. Demetrius laid down on his bed and cried. At the time he had only thought of being King, but now he missed his family, he wanted to go home to the Pearl.
"Sail ho," Jack woke to the call and sat up in bed, wiping his eyes.
The door burst open and in ran Jessie. "Dad it's her, it's the Pearl," Jessie squealed.
He still couldn't get over how old she had gotten, and suddenly as he smiled at his daughter the thought that he was getting old hit him. He would be thirty nine in a month, he looked to his wife lying on the bed rubbing her eyes next to him, she was thirty now, he wondered where the time had gone.
"We'll be out in a minute love," Jack said, shooing her from the room. On further inspection he noticed his other daughter was missing.
"Where's Alan?" Rena asked as she became aware of their missing offspring.
"Prolly wanted te see the Pearl," Jack murmured, pulling Rena onto his lap he kissed her softly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, their tongues fencing a he pulled her closer. He had missed this. Rena let her fingers run through his long, straight, clean locks.
"We should get out there," she mumbled against his lips.
"They can wait," Jack said as he began to unbutton her shirt. It had been months since they had been together, he didn't want to wait any longer. A knock sounded on the door making Jack stop mid-unbuttoning and look annoyedly at the door.
"What?" Rena growled.
"We're about to drop anchor," a muffled voice came through the door. Rena sighed and kissed her husband shortly before standing up and rebuttoning her shirt.
"Later," she said to his disgruntled look. Jack nodded glumly and left their cabin to see his beauty, Rena right behind him.
"Where's the chit?" Jack asked Jessie as he came up behind her.
"Not sure, saw her bout an hour ago, then she just ran off. Maybe she's in the galley." Jack nodded and went to look for his daughter.
"Keep a sharp eye," he said to Rena as he left, she winked and nodded at him.
Jack walked down the stairs, trying to be quiet so Alan didn't scamper off when she heard him. He slipped quietly down to the galley, and there she was munching on an apple. He smiled as he watched.
"Hi fa," she said through a mouthful of apple.
"How'd ye know I was there?" He asked.
"I heard ya breathing."
"Well we're at the Pearl, can I escort you to her deck my fine lady?" He asked, making her giggle.
"Thank you good sir, that would be lovely," she stood and curtsied as she had been taught by her Uncle and walked to her father. Jack smiled and knelt in front of her.
"Listen love, ye don't have te curtsy te me er anyone else, yer above them all, except yer mother a course," Jack said, and at her nod took her hand and led her above deck.
The crew had been sorted out and all but Jessie, Rena, Jack and Alan were on the right ship. Rena was in a discussion with Kasha and Bandit was standing by watching, a smile quirking his lips. Rena turned as Jack came up behind her and smiled.
"It's all been decided," she said.
"What has?" He asked uncertainly.
"We're going to stay in Indian waters for a few months with Kasha and Bandit then we're all going back to the Caribbean around winter time," she said.
"Sounds fine te me, so shall we head back then?" They all nodded and the Captain, first mate, and their two daughters walked on the deck of the Black Pearl in relief, they were home.
Alright so part 1 of the sequel is over, I hope you enjoyed it because… well depending on whether or not I get to 90 I'm doing 1 of 2 things in chapter 17. 1 I am having a sex scene with Rena and Jack, this will happen if I get to 90, or 2 I am skipping ahead 10-12 years, dunno which yet, and we'll take it from there. There will be a sex scene, I know it's sorely lacking, but if I don't get to 90 then it will be later in the story instead of now. Actually I've been thinking about going back and adding a sex scene earlier in the story, lemme know if you think I should. You guys have until tomorrow late afternoon or evening depending on my mood. Well what are you still doing sitting around here for go REVIEW! Hehe, well, shoo.
