1. A is for Adventure

"All ashore, men! We've work to do!" said Jack with a glint in his eyes, as the crew disembarked with a collective joyous cry.

Clearly the work he spoke of also included something enjoyable, and Elizabeth knew why the men were so excited - this was Tortuga, legendary for sin and debauchery.

"Wonderful" she said, though her expression suggested it was not what she meant as she appeared on deck, "Good fun for all on another adventure in which I play no part" she sighed heavily.

"Now, now, luv" replied Jack as he swaggered over to her, planting a kiss on her cheek, "You know we can't just..."

"What I know" she interrupted crossly, "is that I am fat, and tired, and once again being left behind whilst you go off on your latest adventures, doing God knows what with God knows who" she complained, arms folded across her chest as she turned away from him.

"Come now, Lizzie" he urged her, moving around to see her face but she refused, "First off, you are not fat, you are with child" he reminded her, sliding his arms around her waist above the ever-growing bump, "and as tired as you may be, you are as beautiful as ever you were before you were not fat nor with child and ever shall be always, savvy?" he smiled, as she deigned to glance his way, a grin she could not help now curving her own lips.

"You are an abominable liar, Jack" she told him, a good-natured sort of an insult by all accounts.

"Never said I wasn't, dearie" he pointed out easily, "but never with you... well, not since you made an honest man of me and all that" he reminded her.

She turned in his arms then, fixing him with a much more serious look.

"You will be tempted, Jack?" she told him, "By the women in the taverns, and who could blame you when I'm..."

"What you are" he interrupted her this time, his hand at her cheek, "is Elizabeth Sparrow..."

"Captain" she said pointedly, as he so often had himself.

"I stand corrected, luv" he smirked at her gall, "Captain Elizabeth Sparrow. My wife. Mother of my soon to be child" he reminded her, "And the biggest adventure of my wicked, treacherous life" he finished, leaning in to plant a kiss on her lips, making Elizabeth wonder why she had ever for a moment been unhappy with her situation.
