T is for… Teague
The next morning when Angelica woke, it took her a few moments to remember where she was. Turning her head to the side, she smiled as she saw Jack lying next to her, watching her. He returned her smile, and then stretched his head over to kiss her. She sighed happily as their lips met, then rested her head on his chest once they had parted, closing her eyes.
"Angel?"
She opened her eyes again, reluctantly raising her head to look at him questioningly.
"I… I want you to meet my dad." He said, then quickly added "If you want to, of course."
She smiled at him, realising from the way that he asked that it was not something he had asked a lot of women, if any, before.
"Of course I'd like to."
His grin returned to his face and he kissed her once more.
"Land ho!" Gibbs called out later that day. Angelica made her way to the side of the ship to take her first look at Shipwreck City and, at the centre of it, Shipwreck Cove. She raised an eyebrow at the sight of the thousands of wrecked ships around and turned to Gibbs who was at her side.
"You can tell a lot of thought went into naming the place!"
Gibbs laughed.
"Aye, we're a rather unimaginative bunch when it comes to naming things!" He agreed.
A short while later, they tied up the ship and entered the cove. Immediately, an older version of Jack with a much larger hat approached them, a bottle of rum in his hands and a slight grin on his face.
"Hello Jacky." His voice was deep, but bore a similarity to Jack's own voice.
"Hello dad." Both pirates raised their fingers to their hats and lowered them again in some form of a salute. Then the older man's eyes rested on Angelica and he glanced questioningly at Jack who reached out an arm to pull the Latina closer.
"Dad, this is Angelica Malon. Angelica, this is my dad; Captain Edward Teague, Keeper of the Pirate Code."
"Ah, the woman from Seville." Teague nodded, and Angelica glanced quizzically at Jack, but he either did not notice, or chose not to respond.
"A pleasure to meet you, Captain Teague." She inclined her head respectfully, and a slight smirk twitched at the older pirate's lips, obviously somewhat amused by this. After a moment, he nodded briefly and turned back to his son.
"Jacky, a word." Father and son left the room, but not before Teague had motioned for the others to sit around a large table in the middle of the room.
"What did Captain Teague mean, 'the woman from Seville' ?" Angelica asked Gibbs as she took a seat beside him. The first mate was silent for a while, and Angelica was sure he was not going to answer, but at last he sighed and turned to her, his voice low so that he would not be overheard by the rest of the crew who were deep in their own conversations.
"Well you see, Miss, you remember how I told you it's never been easy for him to leave you?"
She nodded.
"Well, after many of those occasions, he's come back here to try and clear his head a bit. Eventually, Teague began to wonder what was wrong with his son; he'd rarely come to the Cove and when he did he was depressed, and lost. So he asked Jack what was wrong. Aye, Jack held out on him at first, but Teague knows how to get the truth from him." He cast a glance over at the room where Jack and his father had gone. "I dare say he's asking Jack how this latest development came around." He looked at Angelica, who had her eyes downcast.
"I never knew it affected him that much." She said softly, and Gibbs nodded.
"Still, you're together now." I think it's safe to say he knows what he wants now." He told her, and she looked up, smiling slightly. "After all, he's never introduced any of his other lady friends to his father."
