“’An then
the curse was over.”
“Ye were…a
living skeleton?” Jake asked in disbelief.
“Aye, not
the best look fer me,” Jack laughed, “but all fer the best, I s’pose.”
“Of course
it was, Jack,” Will said. “You saved
both my life and Elizabeth’s.”
“I can’
leave a whelp in danger.”
The month
that had passed had been a much better one than Jake could have expected. He and Jack had engaged in a rather lengthy
discussion about their newfound relationship and Jake found that having a
family – an actual blood one, that is – was the only way he had gotten through
losing the love of his life.
Though Jake
was eighteen, Jack wanted to be a “parent” to him and Jake was…excepting of
that. He couldn’t help but find solace
in being taken care of for a while, especially since he’d never had the luxury
before. Loralei was more than eager to
accept the teen as her own, even though he couldn’t have been further from
it. They had spent an evening on Will
and Elizabeth’s porch talking about one thing or another when Jake made a
rather telling slip: he said “Mum” instead of “Lor” and simply smiled at the
mistake. It stuck. She was every bit the mother he needed, too. She had heard him sobbing in the middle of
the night and went to him. Much like a
child, he curled up with his head in her lap and eventually fell asleep. Jack had also proven that he was ready for
fatherhood…he refused to let Jake go to any taverns within those first couple
of weeks. He enforced this by staying
away from them himself.
“Ye’ll
either drink yerself dead or bed so many wenches ye won’ know which way is up –
yer stayin’ ‘ere, savvy?”
While it
was cause for an argument at first, Jake soon realized that Jack had experience
with these things and was grateful that he had been “grounded.” He had grown up around people who hated his
father, but so help him, Jake couldn’t understand why now. He wasn’t a villain…ah, perhaps that’s where
the problem occured. A noble pirate –
who had ever heard of such a thing? And
now a family man? Well, that was simply
unheard of on the seven seas.
Original. Jack Sparrow was
unlike any other man and now Jake Delmone – excuse me, Jake Sparrow –
understood why he too was unable to fit into the normal mold of piracy.
“I’m not a
bloody whelp, Jack,” Will said. He then
mumbled, “I’m not a eunuch either.”
“Oh, o’
course ye are, William! Yer me favorite
eunuch! Ye don’ wan’ t’ take tha’ from
me, d’ ye?”
“Really,
Jack, what are you showing your son about yourself, hm?”
“Tha’
unlike you, I ‘ave a sense o’ humor.”
Will sighed
deeply. “I’m going to bed.”
“Only
eunuchs go to bed this early!”
Will turned
and smiled. “And men that wish to bed
their wives.” Satisfied that he left
Jack speechless, Will left the kitchen.
Jack
muttered under his breath, “I could go bed me wife if I wanted to.”
Jake scrunched
his face up. “Dad, me ears don’ need t’
hear tha’.”
Jack
smiled. “Jake, yer eyes saw tha.’”
“Aye,
well…I…”
“Poor
lad. We scarred ye before we even knew
ye were ours…er, mine? …Nah, ours.”
Jake
smiled, wanting to be part of the banter he’d become accustomed to. “An’ wha’s worse is tha’ Mum’s wasted on an’
ol’ man like you.”
“Whoa,
wha’?”
“Yer near
forty, aren’ ye?”
Jack
quickly did the math in his head.
“Thirty-four ain’ forty, lad.”
“Maybe not,
but Mum’s twenty-five an’ I’m eighteen.
She’s seven years older than me, but nine years younger than you an’…”
“Are ye
tryin’ t’ make a point?” Jack asked, thoroughly confused.
“Well, it’s
not like she’s actually me birth mother…”
“Oh,
Jake! Now yer jus’ bein’ all
icky!” He reached over and pulled his
son into a noogie.
“Ow! Dad, knock it off!”
Loralei
walked into the kitchen, her stomach now much more visible. “And just what are you two doing, hm?” she
asked, an eyebrow raised.
“Jake
fancies ye, love! It’s jus’ not right!”
“I do not!”
Jake protested, wriggling from Jack’s grasp.
“I jus’ pointed out tha’ e’s too old fer ye!”
“Well, I’m
oddly flattered, Jake, but…I like my men a bit older.”
“I’m not
old!” Jack whined.
“I didn’t
say old, Jack, I said…oh, come here, you.”
Puppy dog eyes on display, Jack went to his wife. “Oh, stop it.” She looked into his eyes and smiled. “You are my ideal of perfection, Captain.”
“Ah, ah,”
Jake said. “Commodore.”
“Commodore?”
Jack questioned.
“Aye. I decided that…when ye sail again…I wan’ t’
go with ye – if the offer still stands.”
A watery
smile appeared on Jack’s face and he went to his son, hugging him. “O’ course it is, son. Welcome to…the fleet.”
