October, 1684

Arabella looked out across the water from the Black Pearl's deck, it was a beautiful day but not to her. She was worried. She didn't know what to say to him, she didn't know how he'd react, she didn't know why this had to happen to her. She was pregnant. With Jack Sparrow's child. She pulled back her urban hair and looked towards Jack who was steering the Pearl through the ocean, lost in his thoughts. He looked so peaceful, like he didn't have anything to worry about at all. She wished that she didn't have to tell him.

She looked back out at the horizon searching her mind for a solution. Maybe she could jump ship the next time they made port but she knew that she couldn't. She had to tell Jack because, well, he trusted her as she trusted him, and they loved each other. He told her everything and she told him just as much. She took a deep breath then slowly approached him.

"Ello, love." he said as he put his arm around her waist as she reached him. She looked down at the deck letting out a ragged breath. "Are you alright?" he asked her with a concerned look on his face as he studied her intently.

"Jack, I need to talk to you." she said barely audible. She looked into his eyes and felt tears threatening to overflow from her own. She quickly blinked them away.

"Of course, love. Gibbs! Take the wheel! Lets go to the cabin." he said as he led her to the steps, his arm still around her. They descended them and headed to the cabin. Jack led her to the bed where they both sat down. Arabella racked her brain trying to come up with a way she could break the news to him. She stood up and started pacing around the cabin.

"Umm...Jack, do you remember that night about 2 months ago?" she questioned choosing her words carefully.

"Aye. It was fun." was his reply as he smirked remembering it.

"Well," Jack snapped back to reality, "I don't really know how to tell you." she said lamely as she thought about how to say it then decided to just tell him flat out. "Jack, I'm pregnant." His mouth dropped and his eyes widened.

"You're, you're pregnant? I'm gonna be a father?" he managed to say after a couple of minutes. She nodded her head, once again trying to hold back tears. "That's great news." he said grinning at her as he stood up and went to hug her.

She buried her head in his neck. "I was afraid that you'd be mad." Jack gently lifted her head so she could look into his eyes.

"Love, there's nothing to be mad about." he said soothingly. She smiled at him then kissed him gently on the lips. He returned the kiss gladly and when they broke apart Arabella rested her head on his shoulder. She smiled slightly "Maybe this won't be so bad after all."

A/N: This is my first time writing something like this so I don't know how I did. For those of you who haven't read the Jack Sparrow prequel books, Arabella was Jack's first mate when he was the captain of the Barnacle. Once again, please review.
