Once again, I don't own Jack or anyone/anything from the original Pirates films. Oh, and sorry this chapter has taken so long but I just had my 18th birthday and I'm in the middle of my end of semeter exams for uni.

Hope you like it!

Thirteen years ago, Lady Anne Fox had looked nothing like the woman who sat before Jack presently. The daughter of an earl, her mane of black hair had been in contrast to a pale complexion that had known the touch of an English winter, where as now she was brown like the girls who worked the fields in Singapore. Then she had been a sixteen year old aristocrat with an insatiable lust for any number of valuable goods and a sympathy for men of the sea. Now, she simply looked like a glamorous pirate, although her desire for the finer things in life remained intact.

"It can't be..." he began in exclamation, before she cut him off.

"It is."

He could scarcely believe it. Just when he had thought he was irreversibly down on his luck, he had been picked up by Anney "The Pirate Princess" Fox. Jack had always liked Anney and, as he understood it, the feeling was mutual to some degree. No one could touch him now.

"Is it really you?" he asked, raising one eyebrow. The dark-haired woman didn't answer; she seemed content just to stare at him, smoke rings from her pipe billowing out into the air. Yes, it was fabulous he had found her now, in his hour of need but there was still one question that needed answering. "Why'd ya kidnap me, Anney?" If he had been lugged on board by that oaf Christopher, then surely it had been the captain's orders.

Captain Fox gave a low chuckle, leaning back in her chair. Perhaps it was simply Jack's drowsiness kicking in but he had a feeling that neither of them found the situation that amusing. "Isn't it obvious?" she asked in return, "I thought you were Edward."

Edward. It had been long, too long but it all made sense of course. For Anney had not been his lover but his brother's; the only woman that had ever made big, bad Ed Sparrow look twice. She had been the charming sixteen year old in town as a debutante and the Sparrow boys had been young rag-tag pirates, who happened to be in between ships. An unhealthy preoccupation with both groups of society was reciprocated by all and before the week was out, Jack recalled with a grimace, his brother was so lovesick with the girl, it had made him gag.

The Lady, as she had been in those days, begged her elderly aunt to permit her to stay a few more months, so that they might carry on the affair and Edward turned down several good offers on ships so that they might remain in London, despite the obvious risk that entailed. This had annoyed Jack to no end; he enjoyed living too much to allow himself to be caught so he had to resort to sneaking around by night.

As he recalled, Anney had been set on becoming a pirate with them and, being the extremely clever and manipulative woman she was, Ed had been given no choice but to agree. They had set sail for the Caribbean two weeks later and never looked back; Anney hadn't even bothered to write to her family.

In fact, now that he thought about it, those two reminded him a lot of Will and Elizabeth and he supposed that was probably the reason he had put up with those two oddballs for so long. Reagrdless, Anney was a tie to his brother and he was sure Ed would be more than happy to help him beat Barbossa.

"No joke?" he asked, waving around a quill that had been lying on her desk. Jack knew there was a family resemblance between Ed and him but they had never been mistaken for each other before, especially by someone who knew them so well. "How is ol' Ed?"

Jack understood the look Anney got then very well. It was a look only women got and he had seen in on Elizabeth a number of times.

"Your guess is better than mine," she stated bluntly, producing a knife that had presumably been sheathed in her kimono, "He left me high and dry on an island ten years ago. I haven't seen him since." Without further ado, she hurled the knife furiously across the room and buried itself deep into her wooden door, remaining stuck there. Judging by how battered the inside of the door was, this wasn't the first time Captain Fox had flown into a rage. Jack put his hands up to signify surrender but also gave her a look that asked to be privy to more information.

"Ten years ago he left me on an island," she stated coldly, staring at Jack with intensity. It was an old Sparrow family move and, for some reason, women always seemed to take offense to it.

"I'm sure he had his reasons, love," Jack said, trying to be reasonable. He knew his brother and judging by how crazy he had been about Anney before they had last parted, he doubted Ed would abandon her unless he was in some kind of peril.

"Don't you "love" me!" Anney barked, leaning across the desk and grabbing Jack by the scruff of the neck. "He abandoned me, Sparrow! I was pregnant and he let me for dead!"

Pregnant? Now Jack was really confused. Anney and Edward had never been expecting to his knowledge. He deduced the child must have died, considering there were no children aboard, at least, not that he had seen.

Captain Fox was looking him right in the face and Jack was giving it his all not to squirm. Although no one was watching it would still be embarrassing for a fearsome pirate captain to be roughed up by a woman; Anney was tough, but she was still a woman.

Suddenly, Anney's expression softened and she let Jack go, adding to his growing confusion. It was as though she had seen something in Jack that had calmed her. She smiled but there was something sinister about it, as if there was something about him she could use.

"Never mind Sparrow," she decided, in a sweet a voice as Anney Fox would ever be known to use, "You'll do."

Now, Jack was usually up for a bit of "how's ya father" whenever it was on offer but it was different with women he knew. This was Anney! He could only ever think of her as his brother's woman and nothing else; even for Jack Sparrow, that was crossing a line.

"I don't think that's possible, Anney," he apologised, disentangling himself from the other captain's grasp. "Not that ya not an attractive lady," he began to ramble in reassurance, "Ya just too much of a reminder of Ed for me."

Captain Fox adopted a look of absolute confusion. "But that's exactly the point," she said frowing, "You look exactly like him."

What was wrong with her? Anney was a great pirate but he had never known she was that kind of pirate. "I dunno what happened to you at sea Foxy but you've gone wrong," Jack said, shaking his head in disbelief. He made for the door, "I bid ye, goodnight."

Anney let out a short burst of laughter before he could get very far. "Don't flatter yourself, Sparrow. I couldn't be any less interested in you." Jack could tell she was trying not to giggle and his pride was wounded somewhat. "I just need you to help me with something."

"Something that requires me to look like Edward?" Jack questioned, still utterly confused by the situation.

"That's right, Sparrow," Captain Fox confirmed, getting visibly excited now. "You're going to help me get my daughter back."

A/N: Jack has a brother AND a niece! Bit of an information overload, I'm sorry but Jack's going to need help finding the new continent, yeah? Let me know what you guys think pleeeeeeease?
