"She's sleeping, captain," Gibbs said, looking at Emily for a moment and then back at Jack.

"Thank-you, Mr. Gibbs. You go…do…whatever," Jack said, waving his hand with a slight flourish.

"But…captain…what are you-?"

"Ye don't want to know." Jack said, staring at Gibbs. After a few moments, Gibbs finally left. Jack made sure to lock the door behind him.

"Just how long did yeh think yer ruse would last?" Jack asked, grabbing a wooden chair from the table in the room and putting it beside the bed.

"What ruse?" Emily asked, propping herself up on the bed. She ran a hand through her hair, still amused that it wasn't as long as it used to be.

"Ye know very well what I mean. Yer name's not Reid."

Emily sat up all of the way, through her hands up in the air and sighed. "I'm afraid you've caught me, Captain. M'name's Charles." Emily swung her legs over the opposite side of Jack, stood up and stretched.

"Yer a Sparrow," Jack said.

Emily stopped mid-stretch and stared at Jack. "Wha-?"

"I remember yeh now," Jack said, nodding to himself. "Yer hair was fairly long when yeh was younger. Yeh don' remember the Pearl?"

"What do you mean you remember me," Emily asked, "how do you know who I am? I lived in Virginia most of my life, and for the past 7 years I've been living on the streets in Port Royal. You can't have known me when I was younger."

"Aye," Jack said, "but I do. Do yeh remember how yeh got ta Virginia? Why, it was my bloody first mate Barbossa who got yeh there. Yer a Sparrow. We're related."

"How do you know I'm a Sparrow?" Emily asked, lowering her arms to her sides and staring at Jack, curious at this point.

"If yeh come over 'ere…I'll show yeh."

Emily stared at Jack for a moment and slowly approached him. He grabbed her wrist roughly and pulled her over, closer to him. He grabbed the hem of her left sleeve and pulled it up.

"That tattoo," he said, "is a trademark of us Sparrows. Yer mother had it, I have it...and so do you."

This left Emily rather nervous, but she didn't pull away. The thought of being a Sparrow was strange to her, almost...enchanting. She was born into piracy if that were trully the case.

"If that is to be found true," Emily said, staring at Jack, stunned, "What is my true name?"

Jack released Emily's tiny wrist, surveyed her face for a moment. "Are yeh ready fer this one?"

Emily nodded, half-expecting something horrific.

"Amelia Taylor Sparrow."

"That's it? Amelia?" Emily asked, her eyes narrowing slightly. "My...parents named me...Amelia?" Emily asked, already forgetting her name at that moment was supposed to be Reid.

Jack nodded. "Yer name's Amelia, hence...Emily?"

"So not bloody fair," Emily muttered under her breath. She sat back down on the bed. "Y'know, I threw up on purpose. I wanted to ask you something."

Jack looked at Emily suspiciously. "About what?"

"About...that weird guy," Emily said, "the one in the Navy uniform. Who is he?"

"Him? He's no one."

"Don't try dancing about the subject," Emily said, "I know you obviously know who he is. I saw you talking to him back in Tortuga."

"Some things are best left unanswered."

Emily looked through the port hole, watching as the sun was slowly sinking into darkness. "Alright then, how are you related to me?"

Jack sighed, "Yeh certainly ask a lot of questions, don't yeh?"

"I was born to. Care to answer?"

"I'm your uncle."

"My uncle, eh? Explain to me why you couldn't take me with you on this ship, eh?"

Jack frowned. "Again, another question that shouldn't be answered."

"And why not?" Emily asked, a bit heated up at not getting the answers she desired.

"They shouldn't," Jack repeated.

"Fine then, who's the nob with the Navy uniform on?"

"James Norrington. That's enough questions fer now," Jack said, standing up from the chair and pressing the back of his hand to Emily's forehead.

"I thought you said you did it on purpose," he said, somewhat alarmed at the heat that was being emitted.

"I lied," Emily said.

A/N: I hope this has actually spurred the interest in some of you! Writing this fanfic is a bit strange. I always had another story line, but now I find this taking a totally different direction. YAY! And trust me, just because this little bit of information is out on Emily, doesn't mean this is going to suck. At least, I hope. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE review! I don't like getting all of these hits and absolutely no reviews. How does that help me make this better? The only time I don't review is when the person hasn't updated in like, 6 months or more...so REVIEW!

Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me, especially Freak (my fellow "MATE"-y) and NazgulQueen. :D Happy pirating!
