Jack, ever so tactful slammed the door open.
"If it's that howling little demon you call Jessie I'm not comin!" He said, and tried to look the part of pissed captain...which he didn't need to try hard for. He looked at Thomas.
"Well?"

"That we call Jessy?If I recall correctly,it was you 'o came up with that name..."Thomas snapped at Jack,then smiled guiltily."Yeh know,it's really not our fault.The little thing really loves yeh,bless 'er 'eart..."He cringed ahead of time,knowing Jack was going to hit the roof after that comment...

Jack's face looked as if he might explode and indeed he went so red he turned away from one second, clearly letting off steam....wether is was from embarassment or anger he wasn't sure then he rounded on Thomas again.
"Well what did you need me for? Or did you just come here to say I made a good nurse?"

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief that the Captain had not gone off on him and smacked him across the face. He replied to the Captain by saying, "Well Cap'n sir... we do need ye to come and take care o' lil Jessi for a while. But if you're not willin'.. I'm sure Melissa'll be obliged to take her."

Jack's eyes narrowed down: "Have Melissa do it..." He growled and closed his door again, then went in search of a rum bottle that wasn't empty.

Thomas sighed and headed back towards where the others were.He smiled a bit at Melissa when he saw her-indeed,he was finding it unnervingly difficult not to do so when in her prescence."Don't s'ppose there's any chance of yeh takin' the lass in,is there?" he asked,finding an old glove and fitting it over the empty rum bottle which had been so easily procured.Sometimes he was inclined to think that Jack was completely worthles...

Jack, having discovered a entirely new bottle of rum opened it with happy abandonment and walked out of his cabin then made for the crow's nest. No use being on deck...that little demon of a baby seemed to wail when he was in sight.
He gave Melissa a glance, smiled and then proceded up the rigging, as if nothing in the world would make him happier then reaching the top and sitting down for a good drink.

AS soon as he sat down he heard a familiar voice calling. "So you're escapin' from the wee one are ye Cap'n?" He glanced across the way to see one of the newer aditions to his crew walking across the rigging like a tightrope.
"Ye have an odd habit of sneakin' up on people lass anyone ever tell ye that?" Jack grumbled not feeling particularly in the mood to bandy words.
"Aye sir the tell me all the time in fact." She merely grinned as she asttempted to keep her balance. She glanced over at the rum bottle in his hand. "I don't suppose ye be in the mood to be sharin' now would ye capn'?" He merely looked at her like she had suggest there were a leprechaun sitting on his shoulder. "S'pose not." She grinned and swung down to the decks, landing lightly and going to check on the wee one. She knocked onn the door frame gently so as not to wake the wee lass should Jessi be sleeping. "So how be she doin?" She asked in a quiet voice.

Jack scowled at the new girl's question. "Since when am I the authority on that screamin' lil banshee down there?" Jack asked angrily. "Well Cap'n you are the only one that calms her down," she replied evenly. "Well she better bet over that darn quick!" Jack yelled turning away from the new crew member.
After this yelling the screams of Jessi were heard once more.

Jack glared then shouted down at his crew "Hoist anchor! We're leavin' with the tide!"
His crew scambling to obey, Jack took a swig of his rum and waited for the howling to stop. It didn't. Jessie appeared if anything else, to have a fine set o' lungs on her. Jack shouted: "Someone get her to be quiet!"

A young woman on deck adjusted her black bandanna.She wondered who was shouting louder,the captain or the little demon in the cabin.However,she didn't think this a wise time to point it out,and she set to work pulling up the anchor.The captain shouted something else,as the anchor was tied up,ready to be dropped again at a moment's notice.She smirked."A lovely father he'd make,"she mused,but she headed for the cabin to see what she could do...probably not much,as all the propriety and domestic skills that her family had tried to breed into her had been effectively tossed to Davy Jones when she became a pirate....

Jack watched his crew a while, ignoring the screams and howls coming from the cabin. He grit his teeth, even the gold ones, and shouted: "CAN'T YOU SHUT THAT UP?!"

Arayel turned her head at the new arrival, the small cabin was beginning to become fairly crowded. As the door swung shut behind the girl with the black bandana Arayel could here the cap'n. "SHUT THAT UP?!" Thomas and Melissa sort of looked at each other then Jessy helplessly and they all felt the ship begin to move.
"Are we setting sail?" Melissa said somewhat excitedly even as Jessy continued wailing.
"Aye we are lass now if ye aren't gonna do anythin' about the wee ones crying let me see her. "Arayel said taking the babe from Melissa. They had already fed the little one judging by the looks of things, so Arayel checked the next best source of the screaming. "Well no bloody wonder, the poor wee lass needs her diaper changed." Arayel said.

The girl who had just arrived winced at this discovery."All righ',wonderful,no we know why she's cryin...so what're we gonna do about it?"She rather dreaded the answer,truth be told,but she was willing to do just about anything to stop the child from screaming,for her own sanity as much as Jacks."I mean,I realize,we've got teh...change 'er....but where're we gonna get diaper cloths around 'ere?"Without waiting for an answer,she began rummaging around in crates,looking for a suitable sized cloth.After a while she paused."What exactly 'appened 'ere,anyway?Why's there a baby in 'ere in the first place?"
"It's a long story...."

Thomas said explaining the baby, "Now we had better find ourselves a decent sized cloth." The crew begins to look around for a piece of cloth big enough. Then Thomas sees Jack's bandanna and smiles. "Captain can we be borrowin' yer bandanna. We might be needin' it to hlep Jessi.."
