My love is with the sea
Scarlet Barbossa was saved by Captain Barbossa when she was 11, he saved her from her soon to be husband. He took her upon the Black Pearl, teaching her the ways of being a pirate. Scarlet married Barbossa at 17 a few days before they kidnapped Elizabeth.
Barbossa stood in the doorway with shock etching his features, Scarlet was carrying his child, and the heir to the Black Pearl was in her stomach. Barbossa let a huge smile etch his face as he stormed out of his cabin; back onto the deck. He laughed at the ocean.
"SEE CLYPOSE! I WILL BE REBORN," He shouted.
"Captain…. Are you alright," Bo'sun questioned.
"Bo'sun my lad, Scarlet is with child… she's pregnant," Hector smiled. It hit him that he will be a father along with a loving husband to a beautiful wife.
"Sir, you sure."
"Bo'sun I overheard her talking to Jack about it, even though the monkey doesn't understand what she was on about. I think the monkey is excited about the baby as well," Barbossa smiled.
"Sir should we steal anything for her whilst in Port Royal?" Bo'sun asked.
"Pick up a nurse, that's all I can think of my boy," Barbossa laughed.
A few hours later, Scarlet lay in the silk covers stroking jack's soft fur, as the rocking of the boat drifted her in and out of sleep. She felt the bed shift as Hector sat down on the edge of the bed, he stroked a hand over her stomach, her fingers interlocked with his as she moved his hand to the place where the baby was kicking which woke her up.
Hector placed his arm around her waist pulling her up into a sitting position, "You didn't tell me Scarlet," He whispered into her ear.
"I thought, you will be mad at me... For getting pregnant I mean, you are the only person I've had sex with," She whispered.
"Love… I am proud," Hector kissed her on the side of her head. "Get some sleep, we are going to get you a nurse anything else you want."
"…A bottle of rum," She smiled.
Hector tucked the girl into bed letting her rest, "We have an hour before we attack, I'll call for you when we have the coin on the boat." Hector kissed her once more before leaving her to sleep.
Hector stood in front of Bo'sun and Monk, "You two will go to shore grab a nurse and come back in time for when we invade, Savvy?"
Bo'sun and Monk entered the small town of Port Royal trying not to look as much of a pirate as they do, they entered the town centre. Bo'sun stood behind Monk looking like he was Monk's slave, Monk scanned the area and spotted a group of women chatting.
"Good evein' Ladies, I was wondering do you know where the nearest nurse is, you see I have a fussy stomach at the moement, just want to have someone have a look at it for me," Monk explained.
A young girl around the same age of Scarlet stepped forward, she had honey color hair, with chocolate eyes, she wore typical peasant clothing. "I'm a nurse… well a midwife sir I might be able to help," She smiled at Monk.
"Well my dear, my boats in port I could take you two her and you can examine me there, then we'll take you back to land as soon as your finished," Monk laughed holding out his arm for her to take.
It wasn't until, the young girl saw the Black Pearl came into view she realized she had been tricked, she let out a scream but her mouth was covered by Bo'sun hand. "Yes Ms we are sorry about this but the Captain's wife is pregnant and we need a nurse."
Bo'sun shoved the girl onto the Deck; grabbing her by her left arm Bo'sun dragged the young girl to the bridge and shoved her in front Barbossa. "We have one Captain; she said she was a midwife."
The girl froze as Captain Barbossa turned to look at her, Barbossa smiled as he flicked a loose stand of her hair away from her sight, "What's yeh name girl?"
"M-M-Maria…. Sir," She stuttered.
"So Maria, my wife has fallen pregnant and she needs someone to look after her," Barbossa said.
Maria looked at shock to the pirate, he had his wife on the Black Pearl, and it was rarely heard of that a pirate Captain will keep his wife onboard the ship. "May I go see her?" Maria asked.
Barbossa snapped out of his thoughts and looked the girl dead in the eyes, "Oh yes of course… MR MONK," The man stood to attention, "Take Ms Maria here to see Scarlet."
Monk grabbed hold of Maria's arm and brought her to the Captain's cabin door; Monk raised his hand and gave the door a quick knock before entering the room. Maria was shoved into the room; she landed hard on her knees and let out a groan of pain then in Maria's view she saw a pair of black boots.
"You alright lass," Scarlet smiled she bent down so she was sitting like a frog, "I'm Scarlet nice to meet you…."
"Maria Miss," Maria smiled at the blond women, "I'm here to look over you."
"Oh… that's nice," Scarlet whispered, standing up she dusted of the invisible dust of her breeches; Scarlet held out her hand for the women to take.
"Are you ok Miss" Maria asked.
"No Miss please, just call me Scarlet… I see you have a bag on you," Scarlet looked at the black bag with mystery in her eyes, "Equipment I presume."
"Yes Miss… sorry Scarlet," Maria smiled, "Know your husband tells me you pregnant."
"Yeah… five months along I believe," Scarlet smiled.
"Well would you mind if I take a look, I mean I'm your midwife know," Maria smiled back.
"You're not scared? I mean you're a land person you should be scared of me," Scarlet questioned.
"My husband is a pirate… he ran off a year ago and comes back every sixth months for a week," Maria stated.
Maria lead Scarlet over to the bed, Scarlet carefully lay down but Jack glared at Maria daring her to make another move towards his mistress. Scarlet run her hand up his tail, "She's going to help me jack don't worry about it."
Jack sent one last glare at the brown eyed woman before leaving the cabin and going to find Captain Barbossa. Maria just gave the monkey an odd look before getting out her equipment, the stethoscope was last pulled out of the small bag.
Scarlet let out a small gasp as she felt the cold melt settle on her small bump, Maria smiled at Scarlet as she heard the small thumping of the baby's heart in her ears. "He sounds healthy Scarlet."
"So nothing wrong," Scarlet smiled.
"Nothing seems wrong, do you want to listen," Maria handed the Stethoscope to Scarlet to let her hear her baby's heart beat.
Scarlet laughed as she heard the faint beating sound of her baby's heart, "Have any idea of the gender?" She asked.
"No yet Miss… Scarlet," Maria smiled.
"No Miss Maria, your husband is one of us, a pirate you are one of us you shouldn't be on land with all those stuck up lords and ladies," Scarlet whispered.
The noise outside grew louder as they set the cannons of the attack on Port Royal, Scarlet and Maria stayed in the Captain's cabin, Scarlet explained everything to Maria her life before meeting Hector, the curse and the reason why they were attack Port Royal. Maria sat across from the Captain's wife taking everything in and not interrupting her once. She smiled and nodded at everything she had to say, not wanting to miss a single word the woman had to say.
"So if you were still at home you would be Ms Beckett?" Maria asked.
"Yes I would be," Scarlet sighed.
"Oh Miss that's horrible," Maria cried throwing herself at the young girl.
Scarlet let a tear run down her face as she buried her face into Maria's honey locks, she wrapped her arms around Maria and cried into her hair. They both paused as they heard a loud slap on the deck.
"Stay here," Scarlet whispered to Maria.
Scarlet threw the door open letting it hit with a loud thud for everyone to look at her, she noticed a women holding her cheek in front of Bo'sun. Barbossa stood next to the door of the cabin; he chuckled at the furious blond woman next to him.
"Now you should know Bo'sun not to hurt anyone under Parlay," Barbossa said walking towards the women on the deck.
"Know Mr Bo'sun like to explain to me why you interrupted me from my talk with my nurse," Scarlet glared at the man.
"Sorry Captain, Sorry Ms Barbossa," Bo'sun said standing back into line with the rest of the ship mates.
Scarlet smirked as she walked forward as all eyes on the ship faced her, "My apologizes Mrs..." Hector said.
"Captain Barbossa, I'm here to negotiate the stations of hostility against Port Royal," The women said with that high class tone in her voice.
Scarlet wrapped her arms around Barbossa, leaning into his side as she stroked Jack behind the ear, "That's some long word's in there missy, for some humble pirates," Barbossa chuckled, Scarlet out a small giggle, "What is it that you want?" He questioned.
Scarlet gazed in curiosity at the female, she looked to clean to be a maid or a normal peasant, her clothes had not a speck of dirt on them something smelt fishy to Scarlet and it wasn't the tonnes of sea water around her.
"I want you to leave and never come back," She demeaned.
The crew laughed, as Scarlet glared at her, "You are stupid women," Scarlet smirked, she pushed herself forward to show her chest more and stood to her fall height, "Just cause your under the protection of Parley doesn't mean you can treat us like dirt."
"Scarlet," Hector warned.
Scarlet stopped talking, but still glared at the women standing in front of her, "I'm decline to inquest your request," Hector said wrapping his arm around Scarlet's waist, whilst the women gave him a look of curiosity, "Mean's no." The crew all laughed again.
"Very well," The women said rushing over to the railings of the ship, in her hand held the final Aztec coin that they needed the other one was on a chain around Scarlet's neck, the whole crew stepped forward. "I'll drop it," She said.
"Me holes, are bursting with swag that piece will be no matters to us," Hector said to the crew, "Why?" He asked the women.
"It's what you've been searching for, I recognize the ship I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England," She said.
"Did ya know," Barbossa said, Scarlet gripped hold of his hand fear etching her young features.
"Fine," She paused, "Well I suppose if it is worthless then there's no point of me keeping it." She led the chain slide down her hand making it look like she was going to drop it.
Scarlet gasped as the hole crew including Barbossa, "No," they gasped.
Barbossa stood forward, "Let me have a look at the coin missy," he held out his hand expecting her to palace the coin in his hand.
"Look women, we have to make sure it's the real thing or going through with your request would be not helpful to us," Scarlet smirked taking her place next to her husband.
The women held out the coin in reach of Scarlet; she pulled out her own Aztec coin from her shirt and held it up against the other one. Her eyes switched from each coin seeing the features, "I this is the final piece," Scarlet smiled. Behind her the rest of the crew cheered.
"You have a name Ms," Barbossa asked the women.
"Elizabeth… Turned I'm a maid in the governors household," She stuttered.
Scarlet gave her a look saying she didn't believe her but she kept her mouth shut as murmurs broke out among the crew. As Barbossa turned around," Ms Turner."
"Bootstrap," Pintel whispered to Ragetti.
"And how does a maid come to own such trinket… family heirloom?" Scarlet asked before Barbossa could say a word.
"I didn't steal it if that's what you're implying," Elizabeth snapped.
"Know your hand it over and we will stop are attack on Port Royal," Barbossa said holding out his hand again.
Elizabeth dropped the coin and chain into Barbossa's awaiting hand, he in turn gave it to jack who took a bite on it and jumped onto Scarlet's shoulder handing her the coin to look at again.
"Are bargain," Elizabeth gasped.
Barbossa turned his back to Elizabeth and started to walk away from them, "Hoist the sails, we sail for Isla de Muerta," Bo'sun yelled.
Scarlet giggled and skipped off to catch up with Barbossa, she linked arms with Barbossa she heard Elizabeth run after them.
"YOU HAVE TO TAKE ME TO SHORE," Elizabeth screamed. "According to the code set by the brethren…"
"First taking you to shore wasn't part of our agreement so I must do nothing," Barbossa yelled.
"Secondly you must be a pirate for the pirate code to apply which your not," Scarlet stated.
"And thirdly the code is more of guidelines than actual rules, WELCOME TO THE BALCK PEARL... Ms Turner," Barbossa chuckled.
Ragetti and Pintel grabbed Elizabeth taking her to one of the spare cabin's that wasn't in use, Barbossa and Scarlet watched as they took her below deck to a spare cabin.
Scarlet grabbed hold of Barbossa's shoulders and smashed her lips onto his, wrapping her left leg around his hip she grinded herself against him. Barbossa sucked on her lower lip, she let out a small moan as she lowered her leg. Scarlet lowered her leg; Barbossa let her lip go with a pop.
Scarlet walked slowly into her cabin, sending Barbossa a wink and a smile, she walked into the cabin to see Maria settling into one of the chairs on the table. "How it go?" Maria asked.
"The curse should be lifted soon," She smiled.
AN: I only own Scarlet and Maria; the speech is a bit off because I haven't watched The Curse of the Black Pearl in a while. Please R and R.
