The moment Jack saw the Black Pearl sitting in the ocean shore; he couldn't help but take Angelica in his arms and lift her off her feet.

"Jack!" she squealed, half surprised and half delighted.

He set her down, a huge smile spread across his face. He looked back at the other pirates at the other end of the beach. He could barely make out Jason at the front of the line along with Barbossa. He waved his hand to get their attention. "I found it!" he shouted, and then pointed at the Pearl a ways ahead of him.

"I told ye!" Barbossa shouted back, still leading the others towards Jack and Angelica. Queen Anne's Revenge was diagonal from where the Pearl was, and Jack could see some rowboats parked at the shore. He hoped Barbossa would lend him a few so they could make it to his own ship.

"Oh, Jack," Angelica sighed. "I still can't believe the Pearl survived that storm. It seems impossible."

Jack laughed. He was unaware that she still had her hands around his shoulders. "The Pearl is a strong one. She'll survive through anything."

When the group was near enough, Jack the monkey hopped off of Jason's shoulders and scurried up to Captain Jack and Angelica, pausing once to screech at them before continuing towards the ship.

"Ugh." Jack made a disgusted face at the monkey. "Must we bring that wretched creature along? I'm sure he wouldn't notice if we left him here! He could make loads of friends with other demon animals!"

Jason had run up to his parents, his shaggy dark hair fluttering slightly from the ocean breeze. "He's not a demon animal!" he protested, but smiled still.

Jack crossed his arms. "You have not witnessed his evil."

Both Angelica and Jason laughed at that statement. The rest of the group had finally arrived—Barbossa, the remains of his crew, Scrum, Gibbs, Marty, Ragetti, Pintel, Cotton and his colorful parrot, and even that niece of Coldwood. Although she looked sad compared to the other relieved expressions of the other pirates.

"Finally! We can leave this place!" Ragetti cheered as he gazed upon the sight of the Black Pearl.

"Aye," Barbossa said, adjusting his belt that held his sword that controlled the Queen Anne's Revenge. "And Jack, like I said before, you need to probably mend your ship in a few places—"

"And I will," Jack told him. "I'm sure my crew won't mind doing some extra work before we set off."

"If it means leaving this island," Pintel said, "I'd shave my own head."

"But…your head already is…" Ragetti said slowly, but quickly stopped himself when Pintel gave him an angry look.

"Fantastic." Scrum squeezed his way between others so he could come up to Jack. "Well, it was a pleasure seeing you again, Captain!"

Jack nodded his head. "You as well, Scrum."

"Yes, yes, it was defiantly a delight," Barbossa said, failing to hide his sarcasm. "But this is where we part ways again, Jack."

"Oh, Hector," Jack grinned. "I know you secretly enjoyed almost getting killed alongside me."

Barbossa rolled his eyes before turning back towards his crew. "Let's go, men! The Revenge isn't going to sail herself!"

His crew muttered and started walking to the rowboats when Jack called out, "Wait, would you mind if we took some of those? You know…to get to the Pearl?"

Barbossa looked like he wanted to say 'no' so bad, but fixed his jaw and managed to say, "Sure. But no more than two!"

Gibbs and the rest of Jack's small crew scrambled to the rowboats. Jack the monkey had returned, possibly because he realized that there was no way for him to get to the Pearl, and hopped up into a rowboat after giving a screech to Jack once again.

Coldwood's niece—Anya—had stopped Jason before he could help Marty push one of the boats into the water.

"I guess this is good-bye," she told him sadly.

"Are you sure you can't come with us?" Jason asked, gazing into her green eyes.

Anya laughed softly and pushed a loose strand of her auburn hair behind her ear. "Yes, I'm sure. Anyway, you should probably have some time to get to know your newly found father." She nodded at Jack, who was offering his hand to help Angelica into a rowboat.

Jason half-smiled. He ran a hand through his dark hair and said, "Well, this isn't good-bye forever, right?"

Anya's face broke out into a smile, even though her eyes were shining. "Of course not!" And she put her hands on his shoulders and pulled him into another kiss. Jason—who was still not used to this—stood there in shock and with his eyes wide.

It was when Pintel low-whistled behind them that Anya and Jason broke apart. "Well, bye for now, Jason." She said. She waved good-bye one last time before going towards Barbossa's crew.

Jason was still stunned and didn't move until Jack came up and placed a hand on his shoulder. Jason glanced up at him as Jack told him, "Don't worry, you're a Sparrow man," Jack flashed a grin down at him; "eventually the ladies always come back to you."

Jason managed a small laugh, but kept staring at where Anya was sitting in a rowboat along with Scrum. "And exactly how long will 'eventually' take?"

Jack scratched at the back of his neck and was about to answer, but Gibbs called from behind them, "Jack! We're ready to head out!"

Jack took in a deep breath and patted his son's shoulder as they started walking over to the rowboat where Angelica was patiently waiting for them both.

Barbossa had been correct on how the Black Pearl needed some repairs. But to Jack, compared to getting his precious ship back, a broken mast and some shattered windows meant nothing!

"Come on, men!" he shouted to his crew as they lifted up supplies from below. "Just think, the faster we mend the Pearl, the faster we can make it to Tortuga!"

That poured some motivation in the crew. They hustled to fix the floorboards and lift the mast back up and gather the ropes and cannonballs.

The sun had just sank over the horizon when Gibbs shouted to Jack, "I think we're ready, Jack!"

"We better be," Jack said happily, practically jumping towards the wheel and taking out his compass. The little red arrow spun around a few times before fixing itself on a target that wasn't pointing away from the island, but instead to his right-hand side.

Puzzled, Jack looked up to his left and coming up to him was the smiling Angelica. She wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "It's finally happening."

Jack placed a kiss on the top of her head, her dark brown hair tickling his nose. She giggled softly and gazed up at him with those eyes that Jason inherited. "What's your first heading, captain?" She spoke the last word almost seductively, which made Jack flash another trademark grin at her.

"Tortuga first, if you like," he answered. "Or perhaps we could take a vacation. You could pick wherever you wanted to go!"

She laughed and pushed some hair out of her face. A glint of green caught Jack's attention. He took her hand and raised his eyebrows when he saw what it was. "It's the ring I gave you!"

The emerald ring twinkled back at him, which brought back the memory of when they were in the jungle and Jack was teasing her about the kiss during the storm, and how he offered the ring as a token as his love, since she didn't believe the kiss had meant anything.

But to him, he wouldn't trade a kiss with her for all the treasure in the world.

"Yes?" Angelica asked with a slightly amused look on her face.

"It's just…you didn't lose it? After this whole chaotic adventure, you still have it?"

Angelica moved closer to him. "Of course I did. I think of it as a promise ring."

"A promise ring? A promise for what?"

She smiled up at him. "Perhaps a promise that we'll be married one day?"

"Married?" His tone was surprised, for her never knew Angelica wanted that.

"Mhmm," she murmured, leaning up to brush her soft lips against his. "But not today, so don't worry!"

"Oh, so you'll make all the decisions now, huh?" he asked playfully.

She laughed again just as Jack the monkey came bounding up the railing towards them. Captain Jack reached for his sword immediately, ready to do some useless slicing at this undead creature. But he never got the chance to, because Jason was right behind the monkey, his arms reaching out to grab him.

"Sorry," Jason laughed, allowing the Capuchin climb onto his shoulder.

Jack's shoulders relaxed. "How do you tolerate that beast?"

"Come on, Dad, he's friendly!" Jason said, scratching the monkey under the chin.

It was the first time Jason had called him that, and for some reason it made Jack incredibly happy.

Jason walked up to his mother, who wrapped an arm around him and kissed his forehead affectionately. A corner of Jack's mouth came up at the sight in front of him, and he laced his fingers between Angelica's.

"I told you, we can still be a family and live on the Pearl," he whispered in her ear.

This made her smile again. He loved it when he could make her smile.

"Gibbs!" Jack called down to his first mate.

Gibbs turned around from his organizing of the ropes. "Aye?"

"We have a heading!" Jack rose up his compass triumphantly.

Gibbs grinned broadly. "Aye, Cap'n!" He shouted this to the rest of the crew and they rushed to get everything together to sail away.

While everything was a jumble of people below, all was calm by the wheel. Angelica still had one arm around Jason and one hand enfolded with Jack's hand. Jack was still grinning while he put his compass back in his pocket and put his other hand on the ship's wheel. The monkey screeched at him from Jason's shoulder and he gave him a dirty look, which quickly vanished when he saw his son's amused look.

Jack could get used to this happiness that was filling up inside his chest. Because right now, he knew he had the kind of treasure that most men would envy.

The kind of treasure that was thousands of times better than silver and gold.
