Chapter 4
Liam was playing with my necklace that hung around my neck. Elizabeth had fallen asleep on my bed. I let her sleep as Liam sat on my lap playing with my necklace.
I felt like I had let down the both of them for not being there for the two of them in last three years. If I could change the past I would change the fact that I had not been there for my son in the last two years of his life.
"Papa" I looked down at Liam. I didn't answer at first. I looked over the maps.
"Aye" I said back at him.
"Can you tell me a story?" He asked looking up at me. He was a mix of both Elizabeth and me.
"How about The Legend Of The Flying Dutchmen" I said Liam merely nodded in reply I took this to answer of yes.
"Long ago long before I was born a man by the Davy Jones was a member of the Brethren Court and a legendary pirate. He was vexed by what vexes all men. He fell in love with a woman as untameable as the sea.
He fell in love with the sea well not the sea but the heathen goddess Calypsos. He was put in charge of taking those that die at sea to the other side. But after a decade Jones returned to find Calypso gone and was not there to meet him.
So enraged was Jones he cut out his own heart and locked it away in a chest and hid it away from the world. Not only did Jones do that but also he betrayed Calypso by showing the First Breathan Court how to bid Calypso.
But something happened that one day that they had together. They had a daughter your great grand mother making you his grate grate grandson. " I said finishing the story Liam was fast asleep.
"You're the only one that lets hold him" Elizabeth voice woke me from the daydream. I looked over at her she was awake and I didn't know how long she had been awake for.
"I'm not the best father in the world and I don't think I'll ever be," I said getting to my feet. I placed Liam on bed.
"Jack would tell him stories about you" Elizabeth said as she leaned her head against my chest.
I was eternally indebted to Jack for telling my son about his father. Even if I hadn't ever seen any of the them again. My son would know who his father was.
It was few hours after dusk. I had taken night watch for the night. I heard footsteps coming towards the helm. I looked over at Rodrigo as he walked towards the helm.
"I'll take watch tonight Will go spend sometime with your son and woman" Rodrigo offering to take night watch for the night. It was the first time he had called me by my first night.
"Thanks Rodrigo" I said walking towards the stairs that lead to the deck. I opened the cabin door. Liam was asleep on the bed. Elizabeth seated at my desk fast asleep. For the first time in a long time life seemed at ease for me.
There was no worrying about the Royal Navy, East India Trading Company and wither or not I would live to see another day here on earth.
I hung my coat on one of the bedpost. I hung my cutlass on the other bedpost. I pulled my shirt over my head. I heard a noise behind me. I turned around dagger in hand.
"Sorry force of habit" I said placing my dagger back in its scabbard. Elizabeth only nodded as she got to her feet.
"What happened in those three years you where away?" Elizabeth asked, I sighed I knew that this question would come up.
"I woke up in a cell on navel ship. It was Bryant Antonio's ship. I was beaten and tortured every day for a year I think it was before he sold me to the Spanish Navy. I spent six months on that ship before she smashed into the rocks all hands went down expect for Rodrigo and me.
I woke up in Tia Dialma's shack I don't know how I ended up there in the first place. My father must have found me or something along those lines. I spent most of that time recovering from my wounds I had received at the hands of Antonio.
During that time I had been gone my father had been to Port Royal to check on you. He told me about Liam. Once I was fully healed I left in search of Jack or Kristy. I found Kristy in a Chinese port along with Jack.
I followed them to Sunset Skull's cove on the west coast of Cuba. I wasn't the only one following them but Antonio and mine and Kristy's mother. I met up with Sparrow in Tortuga a bit over a week ago.
He told me that Kristy was planning on marring Antonio but as she puts it to protects us all. And I all so found out that you where going to marry that bastrad." I said explaining what had happened over the last three years to me anyway.
"Will the last three years haven't been easy for me ever" Elizabeth said walking over to me.
"I understand that love," I said as she rested her head on my bare chest. If I could go back and change the past then I would if I could.
But none of that mattered now we had a wedding to stop. We had good weather for the first two days. Liam had his own cabin but at night he would come to our cabin and sleep with us.
Being a father was a daunting task. But I wouldn't change a thing. Liam spent most of the day on deck with the crew and me. I taught him as much as I could while I went about my duties as captain. Donavon and the rest of the crew had taken Liam under their wings and all taught bits and piece of what they knew of the sea.
The crew never said a bad word in turn about Elizabeth because they knew if they did they would feel my wrath as their captain if they did. They taught her as well what sighs to look for when a storm or hurricane was approaching and what parts of a ship did which.
Fredriko and Ampredrias had joined the Viking's crew official about eight months ago. We had met up in St Thomas when I was taking on surplices. They also had been trying to find either Kristy or Jack.
I looked to the horizon something was bothering me about those dark clouds to the east of us. Having spent all my life at sea I knew a bad storm when I spotted one. From the wind speed and time we where making we couldn't out run it.
"Donavon" I shouted down to the deck below. He looked up looked to the portside and spotted the dark black clouds on the horizon.
"Aye Captain what is it" Donavon said walking up the stairs to the helm. Elizabeth and Liam where on deck helping out with the crew.
"Tell the crew to batten down the hatches and make ready for a very bad storm if not a hurricane." I said to Donavon who only nodded in reply I took to be an answer of yes.
I handed to wheel over to Donavon. From the looks of those clouds we had an hour maybe two before the storm hit us
I walked towards the bow of the Viking where Elizabeth was tying down some rigging. Liam was up in the crow's nest with Rodrigo.
"What's wrong" Elizabeth asked as she turned to face me.
"Strom coming a bad one could turn into a hurricane. I want both you and Liam in my cabin when the storm hits" I said looking out to the horizon the dark black clouds where circling closer.
"Will I have been though a storm on a ship before" Elizabeth argued the point. She didn't understand that I didn't want anything to happen to her and Liam.
"I know you have love but I seen far worse storms that you may have seen. Strom's can become deadly like hurricanes. " I said looking back to the horizon it would only be an hour before the storm would hit.
