New chapter! As promised! Enjoy
Isabelle stormed into the parlour room of her house. Hair sodden and plastered to her face. She bit her lip and suddenly felt her legs buckle underneath her, collapsing into the chair, she wrapped her arms around herself and wept.
She slowly looked up at the soft voice of Lucy "Mama?Why are you crying?", her little girl was standing in the doorway, pink pastel dress soaked, under her wicker bonnet her hair dripped water onto her pale shoulders.
"Don't worry, darling" Isabelle smiled "Can you fetch me your brother? I have something to tell you both"
Lucy nodded and walked out the room.
Isabelle readied herself for this moment, the moment she'd waited for, for four long years, she'd been waiting to tell her beloved children this.
She whispered "God give me strength"
She looked up as Edward and Lucy entered the room
"Come, my dears, sit down"
"What's going on?" Edward asked.
"I am going to tell you something" Isabelle said.
Edward collapsed into the chair beside his mother as she pulled Lucy onto her lap.
"Now, you two must be very grown up about this. You understand?"
Both her children nodded.
"Very well" Isabelle cleared her throat "Do you know who your father was?"
"He was a merchant sailor" Edward said "Wasn't he?"
"No" Isabelle gently shook her head "He was a man of the Royal Navy. A brave man, very brave, he'd lay down his life for either of you"
"Who was he?" Edward asked bluntly
"He was called James Norrington. Commodore James Norrington" Isabelle said.
Edward looked away, then looked back at his mother, eye's shining brightly "He was our father?"
"Yes. And you look just like him" Isabelle smiled
A smile fluttered on Edward's lips "Do I?" he stammered.
"Yes, just like him, and you act like him"Isabelle smiled.
Edward stood up "I'm going to be just like him, I'm going to do what he failed to do, I'm going to capture the most notorious pirate in the Caribbean, I'm going to catch Sparrow!" he cried, before turning and running out the room.
Lucy then slid off her mother's lap and too followed her brother "Edward, wait for me!"
Isabelle smiled, she'd captured her children's hearts. Just as Edward wanted to recapture Sparrow.
