The first mate sat quietly watching the events of the deck from his favourite place, a pile of ropes as he cleaned his gun as, if it could never be clean enough. Everyone probably thought he didn`t see things as he seemed so concentrated yet in all those years he had sat there or somewhere else cleaning his gun he had found out about the lives of other pirates.

Fights were obvious and bitterness was easy to spot yet then there was the exception of Margaret and Jack, Flip knew what was going on and so did the whole crew. Of course they all knew, then there was the fact that Jack was second mate, which didn`t make him very popular all tough he was a good pirate. Captain Black seemed to favour him, Flip swore that one day there was going to be a fight between some crew members and Jack.

Which one was going to die was just another matter.

Captain's sickness entered into a new phase. He rarely can go out because of never ending coughes. Flip checks on him if he is okay. Since CAptain Black can not go out, he did not know what the crew or his daughter do exactly. He usually get up from his bed and tours the deck. He finds Flip and say to him what needs to be done. And after that find his daughter with Jack and talks to him and her till the time for his rest came. He actually understood that when Flip got closer to him and pretended like he is coughing. After that minute, he returns to his cabin where he finds the peace with his dead wife. And the day almost finalises for him

Margaret sighed as she went to her fathers cabin to see how he was. "Hello Father." she said as she saw her father at his table. Sitting down beside him she took hold of his hand and smiled.

Old man was asleep. He travelled all around the ship from day to night. He turned his head a little bit as he saw his daughter entered. He could not say anything because of the sickness, it just does not allow him to talk. He sensed her smell as she sat down beside him afterwards said hello to him. He scanned her face he knew this face but still could not be able to talk. Although he could not, he fondled her hair gently. After a littlewhile, he started to talk hardly. "Mar... Margaret, my little daughter you grew up so quickly. So is there any chance of me seeing you married with the guy named... "he did not remember the name.

Flip sighed and got up carrying his musket on his shoulder, his shoulder bumped into someone`s and he turned to look at Jack.

"Watch it Jack, the deck is quite spaceful and you run into me?"

For some reason those words had even more meaning for Flip than they might have to Jack, Flip partly hoped that Jack had never come onto the ship as he was in the favour of the both Blacks as Flip had always been the one that had saved their butts from trouble.

Margaret smiled sadly. "Jack has yet to ask me, Father." She looked into his face, he was ill. But she wanted to him to see her get married as well.

((Pip, maybe Jack could propose to Margaret soon. And SAW, for when the captain dies, you should grab another Charrie, perhaps Bootstrap Bill.))

Jack rolled his eyes at Flip, "Ye watch it mate...."

Margaret looked at Jack and smiled. "It's ok, I will leave you two to talk." And with that she left after kissing both men on the cheek.

He looked at the door after Jack entered. "Good Morning to you, second mate. Bring your finger down he said as he gave him a serious look. I have been expecting for you to talk about Margaret and you. I know I am gonna pass out soon. The medication can not make me live forever. I have seen you while you were flirting my Margaret, my only daughter. Is it serious what is going on between you, too." He straightened himself upon his chair.

Old man started to cry as soon as he heard the answer Yes from Jack. He hugged Jack like Jack is his son. Whispered some words to Jack's ear. "Son, I am so glad to hear that she won't be alone when I pass out. I do not know how far you went ahead in your relationship but I would like you see both of you married on the deck. He finished his sentences while crying. He stopped and spoke no more as Jack stood still in the room.
