OK people this is the final chapter. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
Nothing.
All Belle could feel was the heavy raindrops pounding down on her skin. She didn't feel any blade of a sword cut her up into pieces. She slowly yet steadily brought her arms down and looked up only to see the stone dead look on Barbosa's face and the tip of a sword sticking out from his stomach. Who had saved her?
Belle's mystery rescuer drew their sword from Barbosa's guts and he fell to his knees. Belle looked up to see who had saved her and saw none other than her father.
Jack grabbed the back of Barbosa's neck and whispered something that Belle couldn't hear. "You can hurt me, but you can NEVER hurt my daughter" whispered Jack in a menacing voice. He let go of Barbosa's neck and he fell forward on to the wood of the main deck, dead.
Belle looked from Jack to Barbosa and back again. He rushed over and knelt down beside her. She saw the look on his face that told her he was relieved that she was OK, but angry at what she did. "I'm sorry," said Belle weakly and she instantly saw the anger disappear from his face.
Jack looked at his daughter, and even through the rain he could tell that she really was sorry. Jack shook his head. "It's OK, let's just forget about it, as long as you're safe I don't care" he said thoughtfully. "C'mon, let's get back to the Pearl and get out of here." Belle nodded and Jack helped her up and they crossed the gangplank back to the Pearl.
Jack immediately led Belle to her cabin followed by Gibbs. "Gibbs fetch me some water, rum and a cloth," said Jack.
"Captain, you are in no fit state to be-"
"I'll be fine Gibbs. Thank you" stated Jack and with that Gibbs left the room for the requested items. Yes, Jack was in no fit state to be taking care of Belle, but she was his daughter and she was his responsibility. "Are you all right?" he asked sitting down on the bed next to Belle.
Belle nodded. "I'm fine," she said weakly and Jack noticed she had her left hand covering something on her right arm.
"Can I look at your arm please?" asked Jack. Belle nodded and she removed her hand a so Jack could get a better look. "That looks nasty" said Jack observing the big gash on her arm. Just at the same moment Gibbs returned with the water and rum. "Thank you Gibbs. Can you bring some towels down please"
"Aye Captain" said Gibbs and he left the room again.
Jack dunked the cloth into the water and started cleaning Belle's cut. Once the blood was all cleaned off Gibbs returned with the towels and left again. Jack looked at Belle and without words he told her what was going to happen next.
"I know," said Belle in a slightly whiny voice.
"I know it's going to hurt, but it has to be done," said Jack. Belle nodded. Jack opened the bottle of rum, poured a small amount on to the cloth, placed on to Belle's cut and heard her scream out in pain, literally.
After the ordeal was over Belle dried herself off and changed into some clean clothes.
"Now you get some sleep," Jack said gently to his daughter as she climbed into bed and got under the covers.
"I will," she said.
"Good girl" said Jack, and he kissed the top of his daughter's head.
"Who's gonna clean your back up?" asked Belle as Jack turned to leave.
"Gibbs will take care of it," he said.
"OK. Goodnight Jack" said Belle.
Jack looked at her for a moment as she said this. "Call me Dad."
"OK" Belle said. "Goodnight Dad" she said smiling.
Jack couldn't help but smile back at the sudden wonderful feeling of being called 'Dad'.
"Goodnight sweetheart" he said and he closed the door. Jack walked up on deck and found Gibbs, who then cleaned up Jack's cuts, which wasn't exactly the best experience in the world.
Over the next month or so Jack's back had healed and Belle's arm had healed and they were both back to working on deck. One night Jack was at the helm by himself, looking up at the moon and stars while in deep thought. He thought about everything that had happened over the last thirteen months. Since him and Belle left Tortuga all those months ago, they literally had Barbosa chasing them throughout the Caribbean for a year, but now that was all behind them and they could sail around without anything to worry about. Jack then suddenly noticed Belle walk out on deck, up the stairs and straight towards him. He smiled at her as she reached the top of the stairs and she smiled back.
"Hi Dad" said Belle as she walked over to stand next to him.
Jack didn't know why, but Belle calling him Dad always made him smile and something inside him would start to leap around with joy. "Hello sweetheart" he said happily and he placed an arm around his daughter's shoulders and kissed the side of her head. There was no doubt that being a father was the best feeling in the entire world for Jack, and the necklace he got from her for his birthday was his most prized possession.
"How's your arm?" he asked.
"It' fine" said Belle. "How's your back?"
"It's fine," said Jack smiling and she smiled back. "You know, one day when I'm not around anymore…"
"Oh don't say that," said Belle.
"No, no, let me finish" said Jack. "One day, when I'm not around anymore, all this will be yours," said Jack waving his hands around to indicate the Black Pearl and the Caribbean Sea that lay before it. "The Pearl, the sea and everything that comes with it."
Belle looked at everything that was around her. Jack was right, one day it would be all hers. "Wow, you're right, it will be all mine" she finally said. Jack just smiled making Belle smile too.
10 Years Later"And that my dear boy is the story of how I found your mother after all those years I never even knew she existed" said Jack.
"Wow grandpa that was a great story" said Josh.
"OK Josh it's time for bed darling" said Belle picking up her son.
"OK Mummy!" said Josh. "Goodnight grandpa."
"Goodnight" said Jack.
Belle had been living on The Black Pearl with her father since she was seventeen and now at the tender age of twenty-eight she is the proud mother of her 5-year-old son Joshua Sparrow. It wasn't until she was twenty-one when they docked in towns and such that her father, Captain Jack Sparrow let her go around on her own and after several encounters she got pregnant. Belle wanted to have a child of her own; not only to love, but also that she could pass the Pearl onto when her time came. Jack wanted the Pearl to stay within the Sparrow family and so did Belle and that is exactly what she planned to do. Belle didn't really know who Josh's father was, and she didn't care to be honest. He had his mother, grandfather and good people around him as well as food on his plate, clothes on his back and a roof over his head, that was that he needed. Maybe he would find his father someday, like Belle did, but she doubted it.
"Will I be a Captain one day mummy?" asked Josh as he climbed into bed.
"One day" said Belle nodding.
"Just like Grandpa Jack?" said Josh excitedly.
"Yes, just like Grandpa Jack" laughed Belle. "One day you'll be the great Captain Joshua Sparrow!" said Belle and she heard Josh gasp and start to get excited. "Ok, ok calm down" she said. "Night night sweetheart" said Belle kissing the top of her son's head.
"Night night mummy!" said Josh. Belle blew the candle out and left the room.
As Belle walked out on deck she saw Jack standing at the side of the ship staring at the stars.
"You know I really am the luckiest man in the world," said Jack turning around to look at his daughter.
"Really?" asked Belle. "What makes you say that?" she said walking over to stand next to her father.
"Well, for a start I have a beautiful daughter" he said looking at Belle making her smile. "A wonderful grandson, a grand ship and a fantastic crew! What more could I want?"
"You're right, you really are the luckiest man in the world," said Belle smiling as Jack wrapped an arm around his daughter's shoulders.
Jack looked at his daughter and kissed the side of her, and he came to the conclusion that finding Belle really was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
