Barbossa was lost in his thoughts when Joanna came on deck. She allowed him to take the child, but didn't give much of an answer to her question. How could he tell her that he couldn't be torn away from the Pearl. It's been his life for so long, its all he knows. He looked out to sea searching for the right words but nothing came to him.

Barbossa didn't answer her. Joanna was starting to get worried.
"Hector, please tell me what's bothering you", she told him. "I don't want to see you deal with something alone."

He couldn't keep it from her anymore. He looked down at his feet for a moment then turned to Joanna. "What are we ta do now?" He asked. "The Black Pearl is no place for a child, and the land is no place for me." He explained. Part of him wished they had talked about this before the child was born, but it's to late for those thoughts now. He could tell Joanna was hurt, by the look in her eyes. She stayed silent for a few moments. "Joanna please say somethin'" He said

Joanna was lost for words. Barbossa doesn't want to keep Joseph onboard the Black Pearl. He didn't want to stay on land where he thinks Joseph would be safe. "Hector, I don't know what to say", she finally said. "What do you mean the Pearl is no place for a child? You managed to take care of me all those years ago. How's Joseph going to be any different?" Joanna brought a hand to Barbossa's face. "I know you can't leave the sea", she said. "But you must understand I can't leave you. " Tears formed in her eyes. "Whatever problem we have, we'll face it together. If you raised me on the ship, you can do the same for our son. It's not like you'll be raising him alone. I'll be right there with you." ooc: man this was hard to write. i'm all emotional now.  |

Barbossa put his hand over hers on his face. "Aye Joanna but ye where nearly fully grown. Ye could take care of yerself for the most part." When Joanna began to cry he wiped the tears from her cheaks. "Joanna, ye of all people should know how, sometimes we go days, almost weeks without making port in order ta get food, water 'nd all other necesities(sp). It's just not fair to Joseph ta keep him on bored." He explained.

Joanna nodded as she came to a decision. "I guess you're right. Joseph is just a baby. He needs to be taken care of." Tears streamed down Joanna's cheeks. "You know this is the hardest thing I'll ever do. Letting you go. It hurts knowing I can't be with you. I love you too much, Hector. But I know I have to for Joseph's sake." Joanna started to cry harder. "Hector, please hold me." ooc: this is soo sad. now i'm crying  |

Barbossa wrapped his arms around Joanna. "It's hard for me as well." He said, choking back his own tears. "But it wont be forever, and I'll write ya every chance I get, and ye can write me as well." He explained and held her tighter. "Please don't cry Joanna." he whispered in her ear.

Joanna tried hard not to cry, but it was hard. She was going to be leaving Barbossa a second time. What was going to make it even harder was taking their son which was just going to remind her of him every day. Joanna calmed down a bit.
"Hector", she started. "Even though we won't be together, at least marry me. That's all I want from you now. I want everyone to know that we belong to each other. No one else will take your place."
