A/N: Hi everyone! This is the sequel to Love On the High Seas. This tale takes place four months later, with Sybil & Tom being married for three months.

Tom shrugged on a pair of trousers and yawned rolling his shoulders back. He can feel the warm sunlight on his naked back as he opens the draw for a shirt.

"Tom?" He looks over his shoulder at his stunning wife who just so happens to be semi-dressed and sitting on their bed. Tom grins as he replies, "Yes love?"

"Can you tie me up?" He raises an eyebrow his head quickly going to the gutter even at this early hour in the morning. Sybil rolls her eyes but she can't keep the smile off her face as she says, "I meant my corset darling."

"Of course what else could you possibly mean?" He teases tossing the shirt onto the floor as he walked over to the bed. Sitting himself behind his wife he laces her up kissing the skin above her corset and then both shoulders.

Sybil closed her eyes smiling widely as she felt her husband kiss her shoulders. During her first week onboard the Emerald she had been nervous, scared but once they were wed and they had truly become man and wife everything seemed to fall into place. She loved Tom with all her heart and knew that the feeling was mutual. As Tom's arms moved around her waist and his lips began to move up her neck she was contemplating continued what they had started earlier this morning when someone knocked on the door.

Tom groaned knowing without fail it was one of his men with a question or something to tell him. Sighing Tom kissed Sybil's shoulder one more time before untangling himself from her. He glared when she laughed and grabbed his shirt off the floor before shoving it on. He glanced back to see Sybil pull the covers over herself when Tom answered the door, "What?"

Alfred smiled nervously knowing that the Captain did not like to be bothered when he was in his room especially when his wife was in there with him. Swallowing Alfred smiled, "Sorry to bother you Captain but there's a bit of a problem and the navigator needs to see you."

Tom nodded; pulling on his belt and his holsters Tom grabbed his sword and his pistols before heading out the door. As he closed the door he turned his head back sent a wink to Sybil, a promise for later. Sybil chuckled happily before stretching her arms out.

Pulling herself from their very cozy bed Sybil walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of white blouse and a pair of trousers. She had gotten the idea after her first sword-fighting lesson and realize how confining dresses her. She grinned as she remembered the first time Tom saw her in them. Now that was a night to remember.

Pulling on her clothes and styling her hair up Sybil left their room for the deck greeting all the crew members she pasted on her way.

"Morning milady," someone said in pasting and Sybil smiled amused as she said hello.

At first the crew had been unsure about her, after all she was an Admiral's daughter and they had been worried that the Navy was using her to capture their Captain but once the crew had gotten to know her their fears vanished and quickly came accepted her into their crew. "Milady" had, as Tom phrased it, was their lovingly way of teasing her about her past with the Navy and paying homage and their respect to her as the Captain's wife.

Reaching the deck she looked out searching for a certain person when he shouted out, "Morning milady!"

Kieran grinned as she walked over and grabbed out a sword for her, "Ready for your sword-fighting lesson?"

Sybil nodded, "Of course!" Grabbing the sword from his hand the two circled each other before she made the first strike.

Kieran blocked it, "Better." He pushed her sword again ready to counter when she slashed at him again, moving quicker than before.

"Holy-" Kieran hissed just narrowly stopping himself from swearing as her sword came down.

Sybil grinned and clashing her sword against his before using his surprise to knock him over. Standing above him Sybil pressed the sword tip on his chest.

"Remind her never to get on the wrong side of your sword." Turning her head she grinned, moving her sword away from Kieran and quickly rushed over to Tom.

"You saw?" She chipped wrapping her arms around his neck.

Tom grinned placing his arm around her waist and pulled her hips closer to his. "I did and you were simply amazing darling, the finest swordswoman I've ever seen."

Alfred sighed, he loved being a pirate; the fighting, the treasure hunting, the gold, and of course the fighting, but he hated being in charge of the nets. Sighing as he pulled the nets up filled with fish he saw something out of the corner of his eye.

Quickly tugging the nets onto the ship Alfred walked over to the starboard side on the ship and found a barrow. It was halfway in the sea meaning that there was something with weight in it.

"Oi! I think I found something!" Alfred shouted running forward he grabbed a rope grinning.

Tom glanced into the barrow and nodded, "Aye that's one dead body alright." Looking at the skeleton, the man had been dead for a good long while, probably a good few years. In its hand was a map. "What's in his hand?"

"No clue Captain," Kieran stated. Rolling his eyes he nodded to the new recruits, "Scared of a dead man's curse them are."

Tom snorted shaking his head before he reached in and pulled the piece of paper out of the dead man's hand. Opening the paper he could only grin at what lied on the paper before him.

"Men looks like we're going on a treasure hunt!" Tom yelled earning him a round of hollers in approval.

"A treasure hunt really?" Sybil said in surprised as she brushed her hair. They were back in their room Sybil, deciding to take a bath after her sword lesson and had been sitting down in front of her mirror when her husband had come in grinning ear to ear.

Grinning Tom nodded, "Aye a real treasure hunt. So what do you say my love." Tom smiled cheekily as he looked at her though the mirror. Kissing her forehead he mumbled against her hair, "Are you ready to go on your first treasure hunt?"

Placing her brush down on the table, she turned in her seat smiling wickedly. "Of course, after all how can I be a true pirate if I've never been on a treasure hunt?" Still smiling she pulled him into a deep kiss.

He cut down the man in front of him and watched as he fell down. He looked up and felt his blood run cold. There she was, standing on the edge of the ship. She was mouthing something to him but he couldn't make it out. He tried to move forward but his feet wouldn't move and suddenly she was gone.

Admiral Robert Crawley woke up gasping. His hands reached down and clenched the sheets beneath him, twisting them between his fingers. He was sweating from head to toe as the nightmare faded from his eyes.

Closing his eyes he finally caught his breath knowing that his dream was not a nightmare but reality. It had been four months since his sweet young daughter had been kidnapped by pirates.
