Chapter Six
We Want to be Pirates Too!
"Papa!" Bella and Willy shouted with Mope running close behind them. The twins were busily engaged in a game of Hide and Seek with Jack. It was a beautiful day out in the Caribbean Sea. The sky was blue and no clouds were insight. The twins stopped, looking around. They had searched all over the Black Pearl in search of Jack. Each time they came up empty handed. No Jack was in sight.
AnaMaria laughed to herself with seventh month old baby, Elizabeth Susan Sparrow, in her arms. It was fun watching the twins engage in an activity with her Jack. Especially on such a beautiful day as today. She knew where Jack was of course. It was the one place the twins couldn't reach. The crow's nest. No doubt in AnaMaria's mind that he was up there either sleeping or drinking rum.
She watched carefully as Bella and Willy approached Barbossa. They tugged on his black coat and looked up at him. "Uncle Barbossa, have you seen Papa?" Willy asked, curiously. Whenever they couldn't find Jack they immediately turned to Barbossa, knowing that he'd give Jack away. Barbossa let out his obnoxious loud laugh and pointed up to the crow's nest. Barbossa pointed his gun up into the air and fired.
The children laughed to see Jack jump up and swing down the rope, anxiously. Jack had his pistol and sword out as if he was ready to fight. AnaMaria snickered to herself and said, "Jack, you should know better by now. Everytime you play hide and seek with the children, they give up and run to Barbossa. He always gives you away."
Jack turned to glare at Barbossa, who still laughed. Even baby Elizabeth was giggling. This caught Jack's attention. He smiled and went over to his daughter, kissing her forehead. Already the baby was trying to talk and walk. What Jack loved the most was her tan complexion, large brown eyes and her black curly hair. In Jack's eyes, Elizabeth was the spitting image of AnaMaria.
The baby cooed as the wind blew through her black curls. A butterfly flew by and the young child reached out to grab it but to no avail. Jack was beginning to feel happy. He had Willy and Bella, which reminded him of the best friends he had lost. Now he had AnaMaria and his daughter. The two loves of his life.
He wished that Will had this opportunity and knew that someday he would. Jack didn't even know how they'd all react when the time came. In his heart, he knew that Bella would be excited to learn that the captain of the Flying Dutchman was her true father. She loved everything about Will Turner and even told Jack on various occasions she wished he was her father. That was only when they got into arguements. Willy on the other hand didn't care much for Will. Will Turner received more attention from Bella than he did. This caused him to be quite jealous when it came to talking about him.
Jack was snapped back out of his little fantasy when Willy shouted, "Papa! We want to be pirates too!" Jack looked at the six year old boy with eyebrows raised. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had always hoped that they would want to be pirates like him, Will and the rest of the family. Jack turned to Bella and asked, "is this true, Bella?" Bella nodded with excitement. "Yes!" she exclaimed. "When I grow up, I'm going to be Pirate King just like Mama!" Her eyes sparkled with energy and hope. Just like Elizabeth, Jack thought to himself. He glanced down at Willy, who had become quite tall for his age. The secret Jack hid would devastate young William Turner.
The boy's feelings were strong for Jack and the rest of the Sparrow family. At times, Willy would show his hate towards his mother for leaving them. No matter how much Jack and AnaMaria tried to convince Willy that Elizabeth couldn't do a thing about it, it didn't work. He still disliked his mother.
Captain Will Turner stood at the helm of the Flying Dutchman gazing out into the open ocean. Luckily for him no ships were around. He wished his Elizabeth were aboard the ship with him to keep him company. But he knew that he'd never be able to see her and enjoy her company ever again. His Elizabeth, his wife, was dead. Years ago, Jack Sparrow had told him of Elizabeth's fate. The only reason Will wanted to return to the real world was for his Elizabeth.
Why had he promised to return for Jack? And to St. Maarten nonetheless. He thought that Jack would at least choose Tortuga and when he didn't, it surprised him. "Sunset in St. Maarten and 4 years away... What could Jack want?" Will asked himself. He sighed before handing the wheel over to his father and first mate, Bootstrap Bill Turner. Will had to get back to work.
A/N: So here's Chapter Six! Thanks for all who offered names for the puppy and the baby! Since Elizabeth died I figured have baby Sparrow be named for her. I got her middle name from CaptainSparrow-luv. who suggested if it was a girl to be named Sue. I got the name Mope from LittleLady32. I guess in Russian it means sea. Isn't that perfect for the dog being on the ship? Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. I had to include Will a little bit. I felt he was getting jipped. Well please review! Chapter Seven should be up soon!
