THE LAST CHAPTER! Well, before the sequel of course! It will be titled The New Governor's Granddaughter and will be posted later. I gave it that title because the sequel follows Alice (you will see who she is later ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean because it belongs to Disney. I own Isabelle (and her family) and Lucinda (and her family).
Seven years later. . .

"Mommy!" Little Alice yelled. "Hurry up!"
Isabelle started panting, "I can't run any faster."
Isabelle put a hand on her round stomach as she reached the top of the hill. I finally convinced her to visit her family home where she grew up. Her parents would love to meet their granddaughter, Alice Annabella. Since she was 8 months pregnant, she couldn't run up the hill like her seven-year-old daughter.
Ding-dong. Alice ran the doorbell.
An elderly woman opened the door, "Who might you be and why are you here alone?"
"I'm Alice Sparrow!" Alice said cheerfully. "Look! There's my mommy!"
The woman looked to see where the small child was pointing and she looked like she was about to cry. Isabelle looked up and ran to her mother.
"Isabelle!" Mrs. Northwood cried. "We thought you perished years ago!"
Isabelle pulled her mother into a tight hug, "I'm here, Mama. I'm here."
An hour later. . .
The family was in the living room laughing and smiling while Alice wouldn't stop talking. She went up to poke Aunt Gabrielle and Aunt Danielle in the stomach, because they were both pregnant. Alice ran over to her cousins, James and Brian, and started to play with them.
"How old are they?" Isabelle asked.
"Brian just turned 9 and our nephew James is about 5," Danielle replied.
Isabelle Sparrow
I haven't seen my sisters in years and it felt great to see them again. Mama and Dad were surprised to see that I was married and had a daughter, considering that my sisters had sons. I thought about Lucinda and how she was doing at her parents' home. We all got off of the ship and were headed opposite ways until Alice and Janice ran to hug each other. Janice Gibbs was Alice's best friend and they were very close. I smiled at the memory of Lucinda's wedding.
I looked at Alice, who was waving at me. She had a huge, funny, and toothless grin on her pretty face. Her dark blonde hair was bouncing as she ran around the house.
"I'll go get some tea," Mrs. Northwood smiled and walked away.
Alice jumped on Jack's lap, "I like tea."

Everything turned out just fine. I had a beautiful wife and a loving daughter. Lucinda and Gibbs even got married and had a daughter, Janice.
"Here is the tea," Mrs. Northwood returned and set the teapot on the table. "Now tell me a story, Alice."
"I stepped on a spider last week," Alice said smiling. "It was all squishy, too."
"That's lovely dear," Mrs. Northwood looked confused.
"I didn't mean to but it was just there," Alice looked down.
"Well, that's alright," Brian said to her. "I stepped on a spider, too."
"Really?" Alice got excited. "Tell me about it!"
Alice wasn't like most little girls. She liked playing with spiders and never wanted to wear a dress. Isabelle and I had a hard time getting her ready that morning, because Mr. and Mrs. Northwood were expecting their granddaughter to wear a dress.
"No!" She screamed. "I won't wear it. It's girly!"
"Allie, Grandma and Grandpa want you too!" I tried smiling. "If you don't wear it, you won't get candy."
"I want candy!" Alice started smiling.
Later that night. . .
I carried Alice out of her grandparents' house after she fell asleep in the garden. She woke up and looked at me.
"I love you, Daddy," She said poking my face.
"I love you too, Allie," I said poking her back.
Life was good and I couldn't be happier.
A happy family! The sequel will be posted today (since the first 2 chapters are already done). I posted a picture of little Alice (and her dress), little Janice, Isabelle's sisters, and Isabelle's parents on my profile. Yes, Lucinda and Gibbs are such a happy couple!
