The next morning dawned and Jack awoke with a start. �Maddy?� he called out and then realized she wouldn�t answer him. He was hoping it had all been a bad dream, but he knew it wasn�t.
He knew he couldn�t stay on Angel�s Heart. At least not now. Too many memories. But he would take some of those memories with him. He got out of bed and washed up and went back to the bedroom. He took a chest that had been Maddy�s and opened it and began to put things inside. When he moved the chest, he caught notice of a loose floor board. He pulled out a knife and lifted the wood up. He saw three large cloth sacks. Jack bent down and picked them up. They were filled with coins and jewels. The last one that he looked at had a piece of paper inside. He pulled it out and fell to the floor when he saw his name written on it. It was Maddy�s handwriting. He slowly unfolded the paper and looked at the words.

Dearest Jack,
You once told me that for every �I�m sorry� , I would owe you a shilling. I�ve been saving up. So these bags contain enough shillings for a lifetime.

I love you Captain Jack Sparrow.
Love Always,

Your Maddy

Jack smiled through his sadness and put the bags in the trunk, shutting the lid. He rested his hands on it and sighed heavily. He moved it into the sitting room and reached up to take the picture down. He placed it next to the trunk so they could be moved to the Pearl later.
He looked at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. After Maddy�s funeral, he would leave Angel�s Heart the following morning at sunrise. Being there for right now would cause too much pain. He looked in JJ�s room and saw that he wasn�t there. He wondered where he was. He realized how cold he had been to his son. But he hoped that JJ realized that sometimes you have to put your duty before personal grief.
Jack left the house and found one of his crew members and instructed them to take the items from the house to his cabin. He then made the walk to Pamela�s house. There were streams of people going in and coming out. Many of them stopped to give him their sympathies. Maddy had worked so hard to make the island inhabitable for so many people throughout the years and now it was.
Pamela and Daniel saw Jack walk into the house. She immediately went to him and pulled him into her arms for a hug.
�Jack.� she said looking at him. �How are you?�
Jack smiled sadly. �As well as can be expected I guess. Looks like the whole island came to say good bye.�
Pamela nodded and tried to fight her tears. She glanced over at Maddy�s coffin and took a hold of Jack�s hand. �She looks beautiful.�
Jack swallowed hard as he looked over. �Aye. She does.� He had seen many pirates die. Many men. But nothing had ever prepared him for the loss of someone so close to him.
�The priest will be here soon. So whenever you are ready Jack.� she said gently.
�Has JJ been here yet?�
�No. I believe that Katrina is with him. I�m sure he�ll be here soon.�
Jack nodded. �I�ll be back in a little while Pamela.� he said glancing back at Maddy once more. �Don�t let them put the cover on yet.�
Pamela nodded as Jack left her house. He headed towards the trail that led to where Angel was buried and where Maddy would lie in permanent rest as well. When Jack and Maddy were gone, Pamela made sure that the grave was kept neat.
Jack knelt down and brushed some leaves away from Angel�s headstone. �Hello little one.� he said. He looked at his hand which still held the scar from when he had visited Angel�s grave the first time. �Well, ye probably know, but yer mama is going to come stay next to you.� he said, his voice catching. �Take care of your mama Angel.� he said and quickly stood up to leave. He made his way to the private pool where they had spent so many happy times. It would always remain a place of peace and tranquility for him.

JJ and Katrina walked hand in hand to his grandmother�s house. Once on her porch, JJ stopped. �I don�t know if I can do this.� he said to her.
Katrina kissed him gently. �You can do this. I�ll not leave your side JJ.� she said. �You need to say good bye.�
JJ squeezed her hand and together they went inside. There was no one around and they slowly approached the coffin. JJ looked at his mother as she lay there. Motionless. Still. �Oh mum.� he said. �I�m so sorry.� he began to cry and Katrina felt her own cheeks dampen with tears.
�I�ll take care of Da. I�ll try not to let him get into any trouble.� he said quietly. He bent down and placed a kiss on his mother�s forehead. He gasped as he felt how cold her skin was. �I love you mum.� he turned and walked away. He couldn�t bear looking at his mother lying there any longer. It hurt his heart too much.
Katrina followed after him. She slid her hand into his and gently squeezed it.

Jack made his way back to Pamela�s house. He saw JJ leaving the house with a young woman. He smiled to himself when he saw who it was. He made his way inside and went to stand next to his wife. His eyes welled with tears. He couldn�t hold them back. No matter how hard he tried.
�Oh Maddy. My minx.� he said. �I�m going to miss you so bloody much.� He looked up at the ceiling and the back at her, wiping his tears. �I can�t stay here love. Please understand. There are just too many memories. Being on the Pearl isn�t going to be any easier though. You are such a part of me love.� He reached down and touched a finger to her cold cheek and then her lips. �I will never forget you and never will another hold my heart. That is yours forever.� he bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her still lips. �Good bye my love.�
Jack straightened the sword next to her before he left. Will had made it for her as a birthday present one year. As he walked towards the door, he glanced back one last time to look at her face.

The mourners stood around Maddy�s coffin. Listening as the priest said prayers over it.
Jack stood on one side and JJ on the other. Jack looked up and caught JJ�s eye. He nodded at him and then went back to looking at the coffin. He could hear Pamela crying as well as Camille. But he didn�t cry. His tears were shed. Jack knew there would be times where he would be caught off guard, but not today. He needed to remain strong.
Gibbs moved forward along with Cotton, Timothy and other members of the crew and together they lowered Maddy into the ground. Gibbs was fighting tears. Once the coffin was settled in the ground, Jack nodded at JJ and together they came foreword and took a handful of the earth and threw it on the coffin. Pamela did the same.
The island mourners began to file past the grave as workers began to fill in the hole. Jack stood back and watched. Every thud of dirt on the coffin was like a nail in his heart. He saw JJ still standing with Katrina. Tears streaming down his face. He saw Katrina whisper something to him and together they turned and left down the trail.
Jack approached the grave as the workers finished. �We�re sorry for yer loss Captain Sparrow.� they said as they walked past him. Jack nodded at them.
�Well minx.� he whispered at the grave. �I think our son is falling in love. Perhaps we�ll have those grandbabies soon.� he said smiling. Jack knelt down to the fresh mound of dirt and pulled out his knife. He cut open his hand, the same hand he had cut for Angel. He scooped up a handful of dirt and then replaced it, mixed with his blood. �We will always be a part of each other.� He quickly stood and headed down the trail, towards the house. Tonight would be the last night for a very long time he would stay there. In the morning he would be leaving.
Pamela was having a dinner at her house, but Jack had no desire to go. He went to the house and took a bath and crawled into bed. He was mentally exhausted and fell asleep very quickly.

JJ and Katrina went back to their hidden spot in the hills. JJ held her as they sat in the window.
�I�m leaving with Da tomorrow.� he said kissing her hair.
�I know.� she said fighting her sorrow.
�I didn�t make you any promises Kat. I just can�t right now.� he said pulling her closer.
�I know JJ. And I didn�t ask you to.� Katrina said. �I�ll miss you.�
�And I�ll miss you. Thank you for being with me. For helping me.� he said turning her around to face him. He leaned in and kissed her. �I do love you Kat.�

Jack was awake early at sunrise and waiting on the docks for JJ. He didn�t know if his son would be coming with him or not. He looked up as he heard footsteps. Turning, he saw JJ with Katrina and Pamela, Daniel and Camille.
�Jack. We came to see you off.� Pamela said smiling at him.
Jack nodded at her. �And you JJ. Are ye staying here?�
�No Da. I sail with you.� he said. And as he did, Katrina clutched his hand tighter.
Jack didn�t miss the contact between the two young people. Perhaps he should forbid JJ from going. �Are ye sure it�s what you want?�
�Aye Da.� he said glancing at Katrina. �She understands.�
�Let�s go then.� Jack said and kissed both Pamela and Camille on the cheeks. He shook Daniel�s hand and turned towards the Black Pearl. But turned back to Katrina. He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. �He�ll be back.�
JJ hugged his grandmother, telling her not to worry. He then turned to Katrina and the others made themselves conspicuous. He took a hold of her hands and kissed them.
�I can�t promise you when I�ll be back Kat.� he said gently. �I just can�t�..�
Katrina covered his lips with her hand. �JJ, please. Don�t say anything. Just tell me you love me. That will be enough.�
�I love you Katrina.� he whispered so only she could hear and then kissed her. Savoring the taste and feel of her. It was a memory that he wanted to burn into his mind.
Katrina kissed him as tears fell. �I love you JJ Sparrow. Forever.�
JJ pulled away quickly from her and headed aboard the Pearl. He immediately went to work to help get the ship out to the ocean. He glanced over and saw his father standing at the wheel. The winds picked up and the Black Pearl made its way back out to the sea. JJ looked back at the docks and saw Katrina standing alone at the very end of them.
Katrina watched until the Pearl was out of her sight. She didn�t turn when she heard footsteps behind her.
�Loving a pirate is I think the hardest thing in the world.� Pamela said behind her.
�Aye, it is.� she said in a hoarse whisper.

JJ followed his father up to the crows nest. �Da?�
�Aye JJ.� Jack said looking at his son. His son may look like him, but he had his mother�s eyes. �I�m sorry for not being there for you the past few days.�
�It�s alright Da. You�ve been through a lot as well.� he said as they both scanned the water in front of them. �I miss her.�
�So do I son. So do I.� Jack said. He then smiled at his son. �Katrina grew into a beautiful woman.�
JJ smirked. �Aye, she did.� he said and then became serious. �I love her Da, but my place is with you right now. She knew that. I made her no promises.�
�Then surprise her. Return to her. Don�t let her go.� Jack said looking back out at the water.
�Aye Da. I love you Da.� JJ said as he climbed back down the ropes.
Jack scanned the horizon. He saw a large bird approaching the Pearl. His hand moved up to touch the medallion locket that Maddy had given to him. He watched the bird and smiled. An eagle. Jack kissed the medallion. �Fly my eagle.�
