"Were", Rath said. "They were pirates. After I was born, pa left piracy and became a privateer. He needed a safer job for me and ma."

"That's good," Rebecca said. "They don't...um...hurt people, do they?"
She looked thoughtful.
"So what did your mom do?"
Barbossa had fallen asleep again and Jenna decided to come to him in a dream. She tapped his shoulder.
"Hey, doing any better?"

"Before I was born, ma was one of those high class society girls. She met pa and fell in love with him."
Barbossa shook his head.
"It feels like something be sucking the life outta me."

"They must make an...interesting couple," Rebecca said, finding it hard to see a high class girl and a pirate together. "So she never worked then?"
Jenna frowned. She sat at the top the bed, put his head in her lap, and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Hm...do you think it's your sickness?"

"Who knows?" Barbossa asked. "All I know is I can't hang on much longer. It hurts fer me ta breathe."
"Ma worked as a barmaid for a while", Rath said. "When pa retired, he had enough money to last us for the rest of our lives."

"Of course you can hang on a bit longer," Jenna said reassuringly.
She leaned down to take his hand.
"Can you feel my hand? I dunno if you can or not since I'm technically dead. Hey, I have good news for you."
"Hm, that must be an awful job working with all those dirty men!" Rebecca said, shaking her head in disgust.

"She doesn't work anymore", Rath said. "Ma's living happily with pa."
Barbossa looked at Jenna.
"What?"
He went into a coughing fit.

"Oh," Rebecca said, nodding. "Who are you closer to? Your mother or your father?"
Jenna grimaced as she listened to him cough.
"Rath found Rebecca although he doesn't even realize it. Personally, I'm all that happy about it..."

"Great", Barbossa wheezed.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"I love both of my parents", Rath said. "Pa loved to take care of me, but ma was younger and I always loved her. So I would have to say I'm closer to ma."

Jenna frowned.
"Where is all this blood coming from? What can I do to help you?"
Rebecca smiled and nodded.
"I love both my parents equally."
