Laying awake later that night Elizabeth just stared at Jack wishing he would open up and talk to her. And in the partial sunrise her wish came true, what she had assumed to be a still sleeping Jack began to speak, but never opened his eyes.

"It was about three years before we met, I was helping a young lass with an abusive brother and no mother or father around. Felt sorry for her, plus I had a problem with who her brother worked for. I let her aboard the ship I had commandeered from her brother and was taking her to Singapore when one thing led to another and she became pregnant, after I dropped her off I felt compelled to go back against my nature. I missed the birth but got to name the child, named her after my mother's two favorite flowers. Her brother found out who it was that had helped her and what had happened and came after me. Well he caught me and branded me and eight years later we killed him and all lived happily ever after, savvy?"

He didn't answer her question, he just faked sleep and giving up she placed her head on his chest. She had so many questions, but knew if she pressed he would just get angered and possibly maroon her on this island. Nuzzling against his bare chest she knew he had resumed sleep because he did not flinch when she went over some of his newer scars. She had him around her finger but only when they were alone, with the others he was still Captain Jack Sparrow, but with her he was Jack and Jack was a good man, just like she had always known. If only her father could have lived to see this it would have killed him she thought as she fell asleep.

"Captain we have company!"
