Talking it over

Evie hurried down the cobbled streets as she made her way to the Fort. She had to talk to her brother. One on one. No interruptions. Upon reaching the entrance two soldiers stopped her.

"And ouh might you be?"

"I am Evelyn Norrington, Commodore Norrington's younger sister. I wish to speak to my brother, so let me through", as she tried to make her way through the entrance.

"No can do miss. You can't talk to the Commodore unless you have an appointment or something of dire importance has come up".

Evie couldn't believe it.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes mam we are. Now run along".

Evie held back a groan.

"But I must talk to James Norrington. It is of dyer importance."

"And what could possibly be so important?"

"I am engaged and he doesn't know about it!"

The soldiers lowered their heads.

"Good excuse...", they mumbled as they stepped aside letting her through.

Evie huffed pushing herself forward climbing up the stairs.

As she walked up the steps she heard a few whispers of the men wishing their best interest for the fellow that was to marry her, for the Commodore would not be pleased at all...

As she began walking up the steps she slowed her pace. She was really rushing into this wasn't she? How was she going to explain this to him? It wasn't an every day occurrence. More then likely if she was engaged to some wealthy gentleman the news wouldn't be so harsh. But this was Jack Sparrow?...Jack Sparrow... An evil, conniving, treacherous, gold stealing, woman pillaging undeniably attractive pirate...Wonderful.

Perhaps if she used good words...fancy adjectives maybe she could lead Norrington in to the light. The light that was Jack Sparrow. Make him realize that Jack wasn't truly a bad man. He had his share of problems of course but what person doesn't? Everybody has at least one flaw...or at least 15 to describe Jack. But they were joyous flaws none the less.

But she had to get James to see that.

Sighing she reached the door. She knocked softly.

Nothing.

She knocked yet again.

Nothing.

Groaning in frustration she banged her hand.

"Come in!"

Taking a deep breath, relaxing herself she slowly walked through.

He did not look up to see who it was.

He was too caught up in some papers scribbling away at things. Writing signatures, signing forms. Boring stuff to say the least.

Evie closed the door behind her, as she cleared her throat to catch his attention. Looking up, a small smile formed on his lips.

He stood up walking around his desk to his sister.

"Evie what are you doing here? I did not hear of any visits from you today?"

"It was last minute".

Silence reached both of them. Tension grew.

Sighing again, thinking this tension to be useless she decided to break it.

"James would sit down for a moment please?"

"Of course."

He walked back over to his desk sitting down, waving his hand for her to join him. Sitting in the chair in front of the desk she scooted in.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

"No, not at all. Now what seems to be troubling you?"

"What do you mean? Nothing troubles me.."

"Now that is a lie. It is evident in your eyes and in your figure..you are uncomfortable. Is it Sparrow? Has he done something!", as anger began to boil.

"NO! Its not Jack...Its me James."

"Oh lord...your pregnant?"

"NO!" as Evie began to laugh.

James immediately felt better.

"Why? Would you be angry if me and Jack were with child?"

She decided to take this slow. Maybe then she could get to the point of where she wanted.

"Well...yes", as if it was the most normal answer in the world.

Hurt washed over Evie's face.

"Why?"

"Because Evie Jack Sparrow is a pirate. Is that not a good enough answer for you?"

"No. I am a pirate as well. If he is bad, then I am just as bad as him".

"No, no you are not! He was not forced into this, as you were-"

"I was never forced into anything! James", as she reached out and took his hand in hers, "I've been a pirate since forever, way before I had ever met my Jack Sparrow".

James moaned in disgust pulling his hand out of hers.

"Yes, my Jack Sparrow. And I do want children with him. I want to grow old with him. I want to wake up every day to find him right besides me holding me close promising like he always does to keep me out of harms way. I want to loot ships with him. I want to be there with him when he gets slapped by his old sweethearts. I want to be there to hold him when he's nursing a hang over from overdrinking on our breaks in Tortuga. I want to be able to woo guards and trick them into releasing Jack from jail. I want to be able to yell at him when he doesn't obey me but most of all...I want you and him to get along. I want both of you to respect each other. You two are the most important men in my life and I need you to get along. If not for yourselves then maybe for me?"

"That is why I ask you James...Do you give us your blessing?"

"You are engaged?"

"Yes...he asked me last night and I agreed".

"And of this morning...?"

"It was nothing, I had dropped something and it had rolled beneath my skirt. I could not get it, because every time I moved it would stay stuck beneath so I merely asked Jack to get it out. The reason for the sounds was because I was meaning to come see you and it was taking forever and my frustration was giving out. That's all".

James sighed happily.

Evie sighed in anxiety. He bought it. Thank the lord.

All smiles gone James looked up at his sister. His dear sweet sister. His dear sweet innocent sister. Wait, x that out.

"You truly love him don't you?"

"Very much James. It would mean the world to me if you were there for the wedding".

He could see it in her eyes. She was truly happy. There was no use now. She was lost forever in the magic that is Jack Sparrow. He had lost his sister to another man. How depressing.

Only thing he could hope for now is that he died before the wedding or she called off the engagement. His fear was that none of this would take place.

James nodded.

Evie screamed in joy as she ran around the desk and enveloped her brother in a large hug. Grabbing his hand she dragged him from his desk.

"Let's go tell Jack the good news!"

And off they were to the Governors home unknown to them of a certain Captain swaggering around the mansion in a lovely burgundy dress wine and candles in hand, stopping every few minutes to fix his dress.

Reaching the entrance Evie turned once again to James smiling.

"Oh you don't know how much this means to me James! Thank you for your blessing!"

"Well if you are happy, then I am happy...", as they walked into the entrance of the mansion.

Suddenly silence fell upon them.

James could only stare on in disgust.

His future-brother- oh he couldn't even say it. Every time he did he felt like choking. Looking at Jack he could not believe what she saw in him. He stood there as if a deer caught in headlights.

Looking at the corner of his eye he saw Evie hand over mouth trying to hold in a laugh. Jack merely winked at her waved the bottle in the air and smiled again.

"Wine anymore?"

That was the last straw. Evie dropped her hand to her side and let out a generous laugh. She laughed so hard tears slowly seeped down her cheeks.

I guess Evie was the only one who saw the amusement in this.

The rest of the three men once again stood around awkwardly not willing to look at each other. Jack shrugged.

Walking over to his lovely he whispered something to her and enveloped her into a hug.

Okay, so maybe only two men. You couldn't really count on Jack as being much of a man as it were.

"Jack! We have James's blessing", she whispered hurriedly.

Jack swerved around on one foot as the dress blew out beneath him in a lovely circular motion. His eyes grew large as he stared beadily at James.

Upon closer inspection he squinted his eyes for a few more seconds. His eyes grew large again.

"I smell TRAP!"

James rolled his eyes.

"Bloody idiot..."
