A Pirate's Love

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Captain Jack Sparrow looked toward the town of Port Royal. His ship had needed repairs and this was the closest port. He frowned as he saw a regiment of troops approaching his ship. The frown deepened as he saw who was leading the regiment.

"Well Commodore, good morning to you." He said sarcastically.

Commodore Norrington looked around at the crew scurrying about the decks of the Black Pearl.

"What do we owe the unexpected pleasure of your presence Mr. Sparrow?" he asked. Jack jumped down to stand next to him. He raised a finger.

"It's Captain Sparrow if you please." Norrington rolled his eyes.

"Get on with it. What are you doing in Port Royal?"

"My ship is in need of repairs. And since this was the closest port. I figured I'd drop in for a visit."

Norrington was silent for a moment. He looked up at the Black Pearl. But noticed it wasn't flying the skull and cross bones flag. In fact, it flew no flag at all.

"Get your ship repaired and leave. I can trust that your crew will be on its best behavior?"

"Like they would behave any other way Commodore." Jack asked with a smirk.

"See that there isn't any disturbances. Understood?"

"Savvy mate." Jack watched the troops depart the dock. As he turned back to the Pearl, he noticed a young boy looking at him. He had dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"And who might you be mate?"

"Are you really Captain Jack Sparrow?" he asked.

"Yes I am. Who's askin'?"

"My mum has told me stories about you."

"And who might your mum be boy?" The young boy eyed up Jack.

"Her name is…."

"JJ!" he turned to see Will running towards him.

"Uncle Will!" He turned and went running into Will's arms. He hugged him and placed him back on the ground.

"Will Turner. My friend." Jack said extending his hand. Will shook Jack's hand.

"Jack Sparrow. My friend." They smiled at each other.

"Who's the young chap? And why is he calling you 'Uncle Will'?" Jack asked.

"Oh um, he's the son of Elizabeth's cousin."

"Elizabeth has a cousin?" Jack asked. A smile playing on his lips. "What's the boy's name?"

"My name is J…"

"JJ, run along home, your mum and Aunt Elizabeth are waiting for you."

"Oh alright." He said with a sigh. "Goodbye Captain." He said waving to Jack.  They watched JJ run up the docks into town.

"So what brings you to Port Royal Jack?"

"Me ship needs repairs. And I figured I would pay you a visit."

"How long are you going to be here?" Jack looked at his friend with a raised eyebrow.

"Why all the questions Will? Are you hiding something?"

"No, don't be silly."

"Good. So how is Miss Swann?"

"You mean my wife?"

"I missed the wedding? Damn. Let's celebrate tonight. I'll bring the rum."  Will laughed and shook his head.

"How about you have dinner with us tonight?"

"Sounds wonderful. You'll have to bring me since I don't know where you live." They began to walk up the decks. Jack nudged Will. "You aren't living in the governor's mansion are ye?"

Will smiled. "Not on your life."
