THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS! I LOVE YOU ALL!

"I am with child...yours."

"I don't recall that we ever had-"

"You were drunk!"

"I've actually never been that drunk."

That memory immediately went into Jack's mind. He thought she had been lying to him, just to get off that deserted island.

"Oh...she was lying to me by telling me the truth..." He muttered to himself, eyes still lost in his thoughts.

"Yes." Nathaniel Coldwood was a little confused, but continued anyway, "So, my goal is to find the Seven Jewels. I hope you know what the Jewels are-?"

"The jewels with the power to rule the wind and tide?" Jack asked, looking up at Coldwood. "Yeah, I might have heard about them."

Coldwood stopped swinging the compass. "And this is going to help me find them." He eyed the compass. "And that also." He gestured towards the ocean behind Jack. The other captain turned in his seat to see the Black Pearl sitting in the water.

"But you see, that's my ship." Jack said, turning back.

Coldwood laughed. It was a very sinister laugh that sent shivers down Jack's back. "Did I not just capture you and your crew?" He asked. Jack wasn't sure if that was a rhetorical question or not, so he remained silent. "The Pearl is mine!" The other captain growled. He looked up at Ares and ordered, "Get the crew ready, we'll leave at as soon as possible!"

Ares grunted and jerked his head at Jack. "Yes, them as well. Get every prisoner. We'll keep them below, out of the way, until I find use for them."

As Ares grabbed Jack's shoulders, he asked, "Wait, why not use your own ship, eh? It's probably ten times better than my Pearl!"

Coldwood smirked, "Come now, we all know the Pearl is the fastest ship in the Caribbean. The Vulture was built for strength, not speed. We need to get to the Jewels as fast as possible."

"And why is that?" Jack asked, trying to stall them from tying his hands behind his back.

"You haven't heard the rumors? No? Well, it seems that the captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge is looking for them as well." He answered, standing up from his desk and gathering his things.

Jack gulped. Barbossa and him weren't exactly friends, but weren't enemies either. Ares then wrapped some rope around his wrists and lead him towards a longboat. Most of his crew was already forced into it as well, including Mr. Gibbs.

"Jack! Are you alright? Where are we going?" asked Gibbs, his hands also tied behind his back.

"He's taking my ship and using my compass to find treasure with power to rule the seas." Jack replied calmly. His first mate's eyebrows went up after hearing this news.

Some noise on the beach made Jack turn his head. One-Eyed Rex was literally dragging Jason, who was still unconscious, to a longboat next to Jack's. Angelica, however, was thrashing about as the fatter pirate guard and a dark-skinned, shirtless man tried to restrain and lead her at the same time.

"Desgraciado! You'll pay for this!" She screamed, her long hair whipping back and forth as she failed to kick herself free.

"Mhmm, I'm sure I will." Coldwood muttered to himself, packing up his maps. "Or maybe We'll just give your son another black eye." Angelica took a deep breath and stopped struggling as she glanced over at Jason, who was in the boat now, and still not awake. She glared over at Coldwood, and didn't say another word.

"Oh! And Rex!" Coldwood called to his first mate. He abandoned Jason and went over to the captain. Coldwood murmured something to Rex, which Jack only caught the words, "Anya" and "Quickly bring". He soon forgot about that when Ares started to row them out to the Black Pearl.

"Jack? Are you alright?" Gibbs asked again, "You seem like you just saw a ghost."

"I'm fine, Master Gibbs." Jack told him evenly, staring out into the distance ahead of them. "I just found out Coldwood is taking over my ship and that I have a son." The other pirate was surprised. But didn't ask Jack anymore questions, for he could tell his mind was elsewhere.

Captain Coldwood's pirates made themselves at home on the Pearl, and they put Jack and his crew down below and locked them up, along with Angelica and Jason. They undid their bonds once the door was locked.

Jack couldn't believe it. His precious Pearl, his freedom, now had him locked behind bars. Yes, he had been down here before, but that was when Barbossa was captain. Technically, he was still captain. He just wasn't in control of his ship...

He wrapped his hands around the bars and ignored the people in his cell. Gibbs was with him, as was Marty, Ragetti, Cotton and his parrot, Angelica, and Jason. Mr. Gibbs walked up to his friend, and said, "You were just joking back there, right Jack? You can't really be a father, right?" His voice quavered and was quiet, as if he didn't want anyone else to hear them.

"I would never joke about something like that." Jack answered, looking across to the next cell. Pintel and that one man, Mullroy, were trying to find something sharp to cut the bars with.

"So, who is the child?" After half a seconds pause, he gasped, "Is it the boy?" His eyes darted over to Jason, who was leaning against his mother's shoulder on a bench. Angelica was busy stroking his dark hair and watching him intently.

"You know, I'm surprised no one figured this out before now!" Jack said, taking his hands off the bars.

Gibbs sighed, "True, he's almost a spittin' image of a younger you!" They both turned at the same time to stare at Jason. Sure, he had slightly tan skin, and his hair flowed in a way Jack's did when he was a teenager. A large bruise was both on his left eye and lower jaw, and he looked worn out. Angelica noticed them looking, and silently shooed them while still stroking Jason's hair.

Jack ignored her and walked right up to her. Marty and Ragetti, who were wondering to themselves who Angelica was, stopped talking and watched. Jack sat next to her on the wooden bench, but she pretended he wasn't there.

"Look, Angelica..." Jack started.

"Go away, Jack." She ordered.

"No! Listen, Coldwood told me that I was Jason's fath-"

"He told you?" She snapped her head his way, eyes wide.

"Y-yes?"

She started breathing fast, then calmed down and collecting herself. "Well. Now you know. So go away before he wakes up."

"Why? He doesn't know?"

Angelica took a deep breath, staring at Gibbs. He had been eavesdropping next to Marty, Ragetti, and Cotton, and quickly looked away and began whistling, appearing innocent. "I didn't want him to know because I didn't want you apart of his life." She answered.

"And why not? I'm his father-!"

"Shh!" She hissed, bringing Jason closer. He stirred in his unconsciousness, but didn't wake. After a moment, she continued, "You left me Jack, it was your fault my father died and that I was marooned and you didn't care enough to bring me with you!"

"Of course I cared!" He protested, "I wanted to take you with me, love, I swear to it! But I was afraid-"

"Afraid of what, Jack?" She demanded.

He hesitated, "None of your business. But I did come back, after I eventually traded one of Blackbeard's ships in a bottle for an actual ship. Except you weren't there!"

"And I'm suppose to believe that? How do I know you just didn't want your voodoo doll back?" She asked quickly.

"Well I-" He paused, "My voodoo doll? Didn't that get lost years ago?"

Angelica closed her mouth, unsure of what to say. "I...Jack I found it. On the island you left me at. It came on the shore one day and I kept it..." Tears began to fill her eyes.

He noticed this, and felt guilty. "Angelica, I'm not mad!" He said, trying to be reassuring as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You should be!" She cried, leaning her cheek against the top of Jason's head. "Because he took it from me!"

"Who?" Jack asked, even though he felt like he already knew.

"Coldwood. On the day he kidnapped me." She answered quietly.

They were all silent while taking this in. After a few minutes, Jason stirred again, but this time opening his eyes and waking up. "Jason! Are you alright?" Angelica asked, her motherly instincts taking over while she examined his face.

"I'm fine, mamá." He said, rubbing his eyes, then flinching when he touched his bruise. He then saw Jack sitting on the other side of Angelica, and grinned. "Glad to see your alright, Captain!" He said, "But where exactly are we?"

"In the bottom of the Pearl." Gibbs answered. Jack and Angelica both gave him a look, letting him know they knew he had been eavesdropping.

"Oh." Jason said, looking around. He then turned back to his mother and Jack, asking. "Oh, Captain Jack! Have you met my mother yet?"

Jack and Angelica glanced at each other, and she gave him pleading eyes, silently asking not to tell Jason about you-know-what. Jack exhaled, and answered, "Of course I have, Jason! And what a lovely lady she is!"

Angelica rolled her eyes and put an arm around her son, fussing over him again. But Jack swore he saw a tiny grin on her face for a split second.
