That was funny!

Would be cool to do a sequel!

Daw! Very cute and very funny.

“Will someone in this esteemed assembled company damn well tell me where the bloody hell is that brat and who’s minding it at the moment?”

Ha! Loved that line. So Jack.

Awk! Mind the brat!

I loved this entire piece! It's fascinating what a play on words will bring to mind. Mind the boat has been somehow twisted into something else entirely. Your unique spin on this age-old (and getting older) cliche plot makes it entirely fresh and new. Jack Sparrow-with a baby? Jaunita's character appears only briefly, but you've done a great job with her. She has to be spunky-what other woman in Tortuga would manhandle Captain Jack into taking responsibility for his child? Scarlet and Giselle seem quite content to keep taking Jack back...but Juanita has had enough.

Poor Ragetti-he knows so much about women, it's only natural he would know the most about babies. Unfortunately, I fear this duty is about to become a permanent position for him! I love how the baby doesn't even have a name :)

Your coloring of everyone in this piece was excellent. Cotton, his parrot, and even fearless little Marty are perfect to the T. The two M's are as bumbling as ever, and Pintel's gruff indifference only masks his deep concern. I can see Jack's eyes widening as he realizes Cotton isn't with the Brat-just like they were in the movie. You've done an excellent job with both character and visuals!

It is so funny and sweet, good job.

Gah! Poor Rags! Still, I love that Ragetti finally calms her down-as a fellow Ragetti fangirl, it makes sense to me. =P Really, really good story!

This was a fantastic response to that forum post we had earlier. Not only did you put about 80% of the other Jack's daughter's fics to shame, but you did it in one chapter.

I love how it ended up in Ragetti's arms. He really is a sweet pirate deep down, which is why I love him so

you had me at "He hadn’t expected her to dump a smelly, screaming bundle of rags into his arms and follow him to his ship with a loaded pistol to make sure he didn’t dispose of it on the first doorstep he came across."

fantastic.

and thank you for making it believable. about time someone did it right.

Glad our constant moaning had some sort of positive effect!

This is the first thing of yours I've read, and I have to say, I'm smitten with your style. Very nice; foward and direct and, above all else, plausible. I've finally found a Jack baby story I don't want to chuck out of a virtual window!

An accomplishment indeed!

See you at the Compass,

If I click that stupid favourite button instead of review one more time i think i'm gonna eat my keyboard.. Not that i wasn't planning on faving this fic anyway.. i was, 'cause this fic is awesome! XD
The original idea had me grinning like madman and about half way through I was laughing like a madman too.
I love the end.. Ragetti has no idea does he?
Fantastically funny and well thought out.
"The oncoming gale felt like a rotten cherry on an arsenic cake. The kind that killed you slowly." - Lol.
Thanks for giving this lovely little plot bunny a home..
Keep writing!

I am so glad that you took that silly idea from that discussion and ran with it -you managed to turn it into such a funny look at life with an infant among pirates!

So take that, Jack's Daughter fic writers! Probably the most realistic one out there!

I love Cotton's parrot squawking 'Mind the brat!'

"Mullroy stared at him. It was impossible to say whether the prospect shocked his old comrade or delighted him. Then he realised in dismay that he couldn’t tell for himself, either."

This is superbly funny, and I must admit to having debated that myself about other people's screaming children...

"It wasn’t squiggling madly its way out of someone’s hands and attacking everything with balled-up fists and jerky feet."

If this doesn't paint the exact picture of what a screaming baby looks like, I'll eat my hat.

I like the way you expanded the detail in the last couple of paragraphs. I helps flesh things out a bit.

Very fun story!

Mind the brat! :)

Very funny! It was well written too!
