Jack was waiting for the arrival of Will and Elizabeth with the two kids. Young Jack was now 19 years of age, and had become a very beloved and courageous young man, and Jacquelyn was now 7 years and growing up so fast, so unlike her brother, and yet so alike.
Jack with his parents sense of right and wrong, with bravery enough to stand up for himself, and with enough stubbornness and temper to make that courage needed more often than it would have been otherwise. And Jacquelyn with her mothers beauty, her fearless approach to all who she believed to be wrong, a very strong desire to learn, cunning enough to out best a lot of adults, bravery enough to border on fool hearted at times, and her father's desire for breaking rules and testing boundaries.
"Dad, they're here!" Jacquelyn announced excitedly.
"And they're both alive, which I take to be an immensely good sign" Jack added.
Jack laughed and nodded. It was remarkable to see the influence Jack had had on his younger namesake, and it was at times like these that this fact became most obvious. 'Not something Will will appreciate' he thought to himself.
"Well then, why don't you go say hi to your father, and then we'll take the chance and introduce him to the remaining two members of our little family, eh?"
"Aye aye Captain" Jack saluted him with an amused smirk before leaving.
"Do you think he'll like me daddy?" Jacquelyn wanted to know.
"He'll adore you just like your mother and I do" he assured her while picking her up and spinning her around. She giggled and cuddled into him after receiving a kiss on her cheek.
The door was opened and Jack put his daughter down gently before turning his attention to the beautiful woman entering with her husband besides her. He took a deep breath before going over to greet them like a man.
"William Turner!" he stated while offering his hand in greeting,
"Captain Jack Sparrow" Will acknowledged as he offered his hand in return.
Jack smiled and bowed his head in respectful confirmation. Jacquelyn came up to stand besides him, and he smiled while laying a hand on her shoulder.
"Allow me to introduce Miss Jacquelyn Sparrow" he beamed proudly.
"It's nice to finally meet you Jacquelyn" Will said with a smile.
"Likewise Mr. Turner" she replied.
"Please, call me Will" Will chuckled. "Everyone else does"
"And sometimes I like to call him 'whelp'" Jack confessed.
"Don't remind me" Will sighed dramatically.
