The Lie Was Not a Lie 2

Chapter 2 Will Jack run off?

"No.. it's alright, love.. she can keep your last name.. Alicia Malon.. sounds.. nice." Jack was still shaken up by the fact that the young one was most likely his. A million or more thoughts were running through Jacks mind, and running was one of them. Jack was not sure of what to do, this would be the most time he would ever need to think about something. Angelica, herself, didn't know what to do. She had never seen Jack like this. She had two thoughts, leave him alone to think or stay there in case he needed her. She didn't want to leave for the fear of him running but also knew that he needed time to think. Jack took a look at Angelica, then he lowered himself, and sat on the dirt. His head was now pounding, thought after thought. Jack's head felt like it would burst open, in a way he prayed that it would. Now that he was sitting down, Angelica found it maddening! He should have known he was going to slip up once. He most likely felt the same way when she figured out about Alicia.
"Jack.. do you want to come inside to think?" She offered because it was very humid and it was a crystal clear day, the sun was becoming unbearable.
"..Yes" Jack got up and walked inside, he sat down on the couch, he put his elbows on his knees and his hands on his head. Jack was amazed at himself, didn't even say one sarcastic or witty remark. She watched him as he stood up and just walk inside. Nothing. Nothing about her inviting him inside or anything. She took a deep breath and followed him in. She approached him cautiously if she knew Jack he would explode any second.
"..Are you okay, Jack?"
"No, Angelica. Okay is what I most defiantly am not.. I can't be a father.. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, the farthest thing from a father!" It was weird, this time Jack didn't mean to be rude or to be a jerk.. he was just hoping that he could finally slip out a witty comment soon.. He was not himself and he was hating it. He felt it was worse than being sober. She nodded, it was all she could do without blowing up on him. She remembered Alicia and knew she must have ran off already. After a long glance that she wanted to be a glare at Jack she walked back to Alicia's room and she was indeed gone. She sighed she'd give Jack more time to calm down before she left to find her. She walked back into the living room and sat on the other side of the couch. She looked down, she was out of herself too. She felt as if it was all her fault that Jack was this way, and it probably was. Jack knew that he couldn't be like this anymore, he would keep his thoughts in his head and hopefully the doubt would come back. Jack looked up at Angelica,
"Is she gone?" She looked back at him, and replied reluctantly,
"..Yes."
"Then you.. we better go and get her." Jack looked at Angelica and smiled a bit, but only a bit. She nodded he was starting to come out of it she hoped. She knew It would be a while until he was remotely normal.
"She's probably down at the docks.." she paused and somewhat smiled as she said the next part to try to loosen him up a bit. "She's very much like you." Jack smiled, got up, looked at Angelica "To the docks, is it?" And walked outside. She sighed a bit, she was always doing this, running around chasing after her.. their daughter. She never thought she would call her 'their' daughter. She got up and followed him out and walked beside him silently as the went down to the docks to look for.. their missing daughter. Jack saw someone sitting on the dock, in the distance "That 'er?" Angelica stood beside him and put a hand above her eyes to block out some of the blaring sun. It was her.
"Yes, common." she walked out in front of Jack down towards Alicia who was sitting on an empty dock waving her feet in the water. Jack and Angelica stood behind Alicia, who did not realize they were there or was ignoring them. To get her attention Jack coughed a bit. Alicia spun around, her dark brown hair spinning with her, and smiled a smile that also resembled more like Jack's without the gold of course. Though it was hard to tell considering Angelica and Jack's smiles weren't all that different leaving out the equivalence of something shiny. Jack looked at Alicia and said to Angelica,
"Gettin' a bit late eh? Isn't it time for.. bed?" Alicia frowned a bit. She wasn't ready to go to sleep. Angelica replied shortly,
"It is." Giving Alicia a stern stare, knowing it would have about as much of an effect on her as it would on Jack. Alicia smiled again not breaking eye contact, obviously trying to think of a way to get out of it.
"But I have not gotten much of a chance to talk to Captain Jack Sparrow yet!" She smiled sweetly, and batted her thick eyelashes a few times hoping it would work. Jack looked at Alicia.. she was like him,
"Well deary, it's time for me to go as well.. we can talk some other time.." When Jack said 'As well' he hoped she didn't think he was leaving, like really leaving. He needed to sleep on it, he would stay the night. Alicia studied him bit. He was not going to help her get out of going to bed. She knew that now.. he wasn't much use to her anymore. Then she noticed something, why did he call her deary? Eh she shrugged it off probably nothing. Angelica reached down and pulled Alicia up next to her.
"Let's go." She looked over to Jack and gave him a small grateful smile. Jack smirked at Angelica and followed them back to the house. Angelica, doing the best she could got Alicia into bed and locked her window so she could not escape again. She was famous around the neighborhood for that. Alicia also knew who would let her get away with it and who wouldn't. Angelica walked back into the living room where Jack was.
"You're leaving?" she assumed, leaning in the doorway to make it look as if she didn't care if he was or wasn't. He walked over to her,
"Would it be alright if I stayed the night, love?" At this Angelica looked shocked. She never expected him to stay, it wasn't a bad thing but it still shocked her nonetheless.
"Yes," she paused and smirked a little. "You can stay in the guest bedroom." Jack smiled,
"I might get cold, can't I stay with you?" Jack chuckled.
"No." she replied shortly smirking a bit more. "Best be up earlier if you want to catch her before she leaves." Jack went serious, which is weird to him.
"Angelica.. listen, I am not sure what I am going to do. If I leave, I will be gone before any of you wake up, but if I am still in my room, I am staying.. But just in case, I will say my good byes to you.. right now." Jack got closer to Angelica, he put one hand on the side of her face and kissed her head, "Goodnight.." What he did shocked her into complete silence. She did what she could do, she nodded to him as he went to the guest room. After he was gone she smiled a small bit. Of course she would never tell anybody though, especially not Jack. Something she hated even more then her smiling ran through her mind, I hope he stays. She did want him to stay, no matter how much she hated it, she wanted him to stay! She walked towards Alicia's room and peeked in to see if she was still there. She was. With a worried expression she went to bed, Jack was not himself. She laid down and her worried expression slowly faded as she drifted into sleep.
