A/N: A review was submitted last chapter about some plotholes regarding about where the twins get milk from and why Will can't know about the twins. I meant to leave an A/N last chapter stating how up until Will's return, each chapter will be a year for the twins. For example, in chapter one it's their birth and a year with Bella and Willy being on the Pearl, etc. In the first chapter, Elizabeth wants Jack to take care of the twins just incase Will doesn't return. I was also leaving this for when Will returns but Will is not to know about the twins because Elizabeth's afraid he'll abandon his duties and thus end up like Jones. Also, as you may have already figured out, the after scene of AWE has been thrown out. I totally disregarded that scene. If you have any more questions, feel free to send a message my way! And thanks for all the reviews!

Chapter Three

Toy Swords

Another year went by for Jack and AnaMaria. Another year sooner to losing the twins. Another year closer to Will Turner's return. They were sad but also excited. They'd keep in mind to ask Will if they could be their godparents. There was just one thing that troubled Jack. He was considering giving up piracy which he never thought he'd do. His father hadn't for him so why should he for his own children? He shook the thought off as he went back to carving two toy swords, one for Bella and one for Willy. His mind soon was found wondering back to a year ago when he had told Will of Elizabeth's fate. He hated that he had to lie to his best friend like that but knew it had to be done.

Not paying any attention, his knife slipped cutting him deeply. "Bloody hell!" he screamed out. He threw the two wooden swords down and grabbed a nearby cloth. He wrapped it around his hand and looked at the three-year-old twins. Their large brown eyes gazed up at him in fascination. The pirate couldn't help but smile at them. "What?" he asked them, quite amused. The twins giggled as they ran off, holding hands. Jack chuckled and stared at the door to see AnaMaria dodging the running children.

She leaned up against the door frame with her arms crossed over her chest, smiling at the male pirate. "I think you've fallen in love," AnaMaria teased, trying not to laugh. Jack shook his head and picked up the almost finished wooden swords. He looked at AnaMaria and replied, "I'm only doin' this for their mother, AnaMaria. Nothing more."

"Give it up, Cap'n Jack. You're not as coldhearted as you lead on to be," AnaMaria said as she came closer to Jack with her arms still crossed. AnaMaria knew she was right. Jack spent most of his time with Isabella and William. Most of the time his co-captain, Barbossa, was left in charge of the Black Pearl. They're destination was the Agua de Vida for the Fountain of Youth. Everyone was against going but knew that they didn't do go. They were afraid for the Turner twins. Everybody, even Barbossa, wanted to be near the twins and protect them.

They had to keep Captain Will Turner's children a secret to all, especially the East India Trading Company. Jack sat back down on his stool and started putting the finishing touches on the wooden swords. AnaMaria took a look at what Jack was carving into the wood. For an adult, AnaMaria was still as curious as a child. She let out a laugh, saying, "If you're only doing this for their mum then why are you making two wooden swords with their names carved into them?"

"They'll children," Jack replied. "They need toys. You can barely find toys when you're pirating, AnaMaria." AnaMaria huffed and said, "You want them to be pirates like the rest of us." Jack shrugged and looked up at AnaMaria after finishing carving 'Isabella' into one sword. "So what?" Jack asked before getting to work on writing 'William' into the second sword.

AnaMaria raised an eyebrow at Jack. What was with him? She liked how he had turned out but his only priority now were Isabella and William, who weren't even his. Maybe he thinks he owes it to Elizabeth and Will to take care of them, AnaMaria thought to herself. Jack set down Willy's wooden sword and smiled at his work. He examined them and nodded in approval as did AnaMaria.

Jack headed up to the main deck with AnaMaria following close behind. They stopped in their tracks when someone yelled, "Bloody baby pirates!" AnaMaria and Jack looked at each other and as if on cue both said, "Barbossa." They quickly ran up the stairs, stumbling on their way. When they reached the main deck, they didn't see Barbossa anywhere. "Up here!" the old pirate called out. Jack and AnaMaria looked up to see Barbossa with a rope around his ankle in the air. He was hanging upside down.

"Get me down!" shouted Captain Hector Barbossa. Jack let out a snicker and asked, "How'd you get up there?" Barbossa didn't have to answer. The twins did that for him by giggling. AnaMaria heard the giggling children and turned to look at Jack. "They're three years old. How'd they get a man twice their size up there?" she asked Jack. He shrugged and laughed even harder at his co-captains problem.

"Pintel! Ragetti! Cut the old man down!" Jack commanded as he walked over to the brother and sister. He knelt down so he was eye level with them. With a raised eyebrow, he held out his hands. Each twin put a small hand in Jack's. He smiled at them and stood. Hand in hand with the twins, he walked below deck.

He explained, "Isabella and William, you're suppose to behave. If there's one person ye want to like you, it's Captain Barbossa. Understand?" He looked down at the twins who were staring up at him. In unison, they replied, "Yes, Papa."

Jack led Bella and Willy into the cabin he shared with them. "Go sit on my hammock," he instructed. "I have a present for the both of you." The twins gasped in shock and with a squeal ran to Jack's hammock. They climbed up after several tries and sat there restlessly, awaiting their gifts. Jack picked up the two wooden swords and handed them each one. They hugged their swords only after jumping off the hammock to hug Jack's legs.

Jack laughed. "AnaMaria will be right in to get you too cleaned up and then I want ye to apologize to Barbossa," he said. The twins nodded as Jack turned to leave the cabin to go get AnaMaria. He could hear the children pretending to spar with one another.

WHACK!

Jack stumbled to the ground. He rubbed the back of his legs as he looked at the twins.
