Chapter 5- Jack's friendship repaid
Jack was listening patiently to what Gibbs was reporting about Barbossa. He had wondered what had happened that night. Barbossa had not returned to the ship. Gibbs had just told him that Barbossa had found Rachel at last and that Rachel had given birth to Barbossa's children. She had had twins, one girl named Alexis and one boy named Hector after his father. He was glad to know Barbossa was not suicide crazy anymore. His life would be easier nowadays. He would welcome them warmly. He sees Barbossa and Rachel walking hand in hand towards the Black Pearl. He greets them as they arrive. Jack looks over and says, "Rachel? Where did you come from? We thought you were dead." "Not quite Jack!" Barbossa rolls his eyes and says to Jack "Cut the crap Jack. I know Gibbs was following me from the beginning on your orders. You were worried about my sanity and that I would not be safe by myself." "What do you mean Hector?" Jack shakes his head and says, "Barbossa didn't tell you?" "I don't know what you're talking about?" "Jack, I was going to tell her after the big event." "What big event Barbossa?" Jack asks truthfully confused. "We're engaged Jack! We want to get married and if you allow it her and our two children will join us when we leave Tortuga." "Please Jack!" "How could I say no? Of course you and the kids can join us." Rachel at this hugs Barbossa and they kiss each other briefly. They break it quickly after they realize their audience is none other than Joshamee Gibbs and Jack Sparrow. As soon as they break apart, Hector and Alexis arrive at the Black Pearl. They ask why they were so happy. Rachel says, "Kids, me and your father are getting married." Alexis and Hector hug her tightly. Hector nods his approval at Barbossa. Barbosa turns toward Jack and asks him, "Jack, will you marry us?" "Well... I guess I could do that. I could do it right now." "Thank you, Jack! Gibbs?" "Yes, Captain Barbossa?" "Will you be my best man?" "I'd be honored Barbossa."
