"Martina will never be me girlfriend Roz, because she's me bloody sister!"

Rosaline did a double take, and if she hadn't been sat down, she would have fallen down. Then, completely out of character, she laughed. She laughed with relief, and with immense amusement at herself for being so immature. She had been so blind, she had been so jealous. She couldn't help herself, even though she could tell from Jack's expression that he hadn't wanted her to know this piece of information.

"I'm sorry," She said, desperately trying to be serious. "I am, really, I just can't believe I didn't guess!"

"Of course y' didn't guess," Jack said, in a hushed voice, indicating that she should lower her voice as well, "Because no one knows."

"What?" Rosaline didn't understand, "Why?"

"Because if I kill some merchant, or another pirate, or any one, and there's some one else out for revenge they can be out for my blood. But, if that some one knows that I have a sister, if they can't get to me…"

"They'll get to her." Rosaline realised. "So the pair of you have an agreement to completely deny that you're related to stay safe?"

"Aye, that's right." Jack admitted.

"But she's Spanish," She pointed out,

"Different fathers." Jack told her. "Same mother. I had a Spanish mother, and an English father. Her father was Spanish."

"Doesn't any one know?"

"Bill, and Ana Maria." Jack said, "Bill was the one who found me for her. I didn't even know I had a sister. Teeny told Ana." Rosaline nodded.

"You wish you could tell people, don't you?" Jack didn't say anything, "If circumstances were different, but you know they never will be, and you can't escape the nagging thought at the back of your mind that makes you wonder, if she'd want people to know."

"Luv, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. I don't have thoughts like that." Jack said, confidently, but Rosaline was having none of it.

"You do." She informed him. "It's all falling into place. The looks, the quiet words, the gestures. I mistook it all for… but you regret not being there for her when she grew up. Even though you know there was no way you could have been, you're her brother, and you should have been." Jack was silent. Rosaline had hit the nail on the head, and the thoughts she had just voiced had been pushing to get out of his own mind for years.

"I thought Savannah was supposed to be the mind reader," He joked. Rosaline cocked her head to one side, and rested her arm on her knee.

"Why do you always have to turn everything into a joke?"

"Because then I don't have to talk about anything." Jack said, raising his voice unintentionally, and glancing behind him. Rosaline was shocked by this outburst, and some how she knew that it wasn't something he did regularly. His eyes avoided hers, and his body was turned away from her.

"Maybe you should," She said, quietly, resting her hand lightly on his arm. He flinched, and looked set to pull it away, but he didn't. His eyes kept flicking toward his crew, and Rosaline got the impression that he was not going to open up in full view of them. She stood up, and Jack's gaze travelled up to her eyes,

"What are y' doin' luv?" He asked her, confused. Rosaline held out her hand to him. Jack eyes rested on it,

"Let's go outside." She said, "Away from everything, and every one."

Jack knew that this was his chance. He could ignore Rosaline's gesture and go back to the rest of the group. He would have. And maybe he should have. But he also knew that if he didn't take her hand this time, it might never be there for him again.

Jack tapped his fingers on his knee, and made a decision. He took Rosaline's hand, and she held his firmly. Jack pushed himself up, knowing that she wasn't exactly going to be able to pull him to his feet. They stood face to face for a few seconds, eye to eye. Their fingers were still intertwined.

Bill nudged Marti, and nodded in the couple's direction.

"Could it be Jack's found himself a girl?" Marti spun round and raised her eyebrows,

"Looks like it, to be sure." She said, "She's English, and she's a Lady. I don't know what he's thinking." Bill rolled his eyes,

"Marti, open your eyes and take a look," He urged her, "Look at that. Have you ever seen Jack like that before? It don't matter what she is, but maybe who she is matters a great deal."

"You think she might be the one for him?"

"Well, I've been out of the loop for a while, so t' speak." Bill joked, "But somethin' about the look on Jack's face tells me she's different to the others."

"She's not a whore. That might be it." Marti muttered. Bill laughed,

"Not getting protective are ye?" He teased. Marti shook her head defiantly.

"Would I?" She asked innocently,

"What are you two whispering about?" Will asked,

"Jack and Rosaline." Marti answered openly. Will followed their gaze, and Elizabeth smacked his arm, and addressed all three of them,

"Stop staring and give them some privacy." She ordered, "For goodness sake, nothing's going to happen if you three stay gawping at them."

The three sheepishly looked away.

"Ye had to marry a woman with a big mouth, didn't y' son?" Bill sighed, "Couldn't pick a quiet one."
