Nadia: They don't own me!
Ammie: True. But I still don't like the mouse.

--Nadia's POV--
Nadia sat quietly as she towered above all of her fellow pirates. It had been only 3 months since she had unofficially joined forces with Jack and it was miraculous how much she had changed already.
Instead of wearing the traditional dress code standards of women from Tortuga, she now wore a more piratical style of clothing. Her new garb included loose fitting emerald breeches, a lightly colored peasant top, and the boots that Jack had given her years before. Her hair, in all integrity, was becoming somewhat like a rat's nest. The jumble of dreadlocks, braids, beads, and trinkets that now adorned it were innumerable.
As Nadia glanced down at the crew below, she smiled. She was happier now, than ever before.
Her favorite place on the ship had quickly become the crow's nest. It was so quiet and peaceful. She considered it to be her own secluded place on the Pearl, even though; it was not "rightfully" hers.
Thinking about how quickly her life had changed, always made her stomach turn, as it was beginning to do now. However, luckily Nadia became distracted from her thoughts when a harsh voice from below awakened her.
"Nadia!" Jack called pompously, "Would you mind to take the helm for a while, mate?"
Nadia began to climb her way down the mast. She sported a look that just stated, "Why must you pester me?"
When she finally arrived she jumped down unceremoniously. She looked up at Jack and childishly grinned.
"Why?" Nadia asked still sporting the grin.
Jack glared at her, but although this glare was expressionless, Nadia could tell Jack was up to something.
"I jus' need ter talk ter Ana, if tha's fine with you" he finally erupting exposing his rather obvious secret.
At this statement Nadia beamed.
"So, I was right, eh? Someone's got a lover…" she taunted playfully.
Her happy face soon faded when she noted his distant expression of embarrassment and frustration.
"Jus' do it, Nadia" Jack muttered before he staggered away from her and into his cabin.
Nadia laughed internally as she strode to the wheel. Ever since she had first boarded the Pearl, she had known of the relationship between AnaMaria and her brother. She also knew that it had been Ana, the wench, who had stolen her brother away from her years before. It was all Ana's fault that Jack had abandoned his only real kin and now, Nadia planned to get revenge upon her. The only problem was the timing.
----Jack POV-
"Ana?" whispered Jack as he entered the cabin. He heard a moan from the bed. "Wha' is it?" he asked as he stumbled across the room only to sit on the bed.
"Jack, I just don't feel to well, that's all." AnaMaria murmured softly as she flipped herself about in the deep red satin sheets of the bed.
Jack raised a suspicious eyebrow.
"You sure, Ana?" he tried to assure.
Ana moaned softly again. She shifted her shoulders around so she could face Jack.
"No, Jack, I'm not" she softly spoke, "Can you get Cotton?"
Mr. Cotton had become the crew's makeshift doctor. He did a good job, and didn't ask for much in return, so it worked out great on this ship.
Jack nodded reluctantly and stood.
"I'll be right back, love" he said before exiting the room in search for Cotton.
As he stepped out onto the deck he noticed Nadia and Cotton talking, well rather the parrot and Nadia, at the helm.
"Cotton! Over here, mate!" he motioned for Cotton to come into the cabin, "AnaMaria's sick"
The parrot squawked, "Wind in the Sails! Wind in the Sails!"
Jack supposed this meant, 'It'll be taken care of' or something.
Jack opened the cabin door for the older man and walked in behind him. He pointed to the bed and sat down on the desk, waiting for Cotton's conclusion.
Several minutes later, Cotton finally came up with a conclusion.
"Fat lady at noon!" the parrot squawked repeatedly.
"Bloody Hell! Wha' is tha' supposed to mean?" Jack outraged, "You're telling me my love's fat?"
Cotton shook his head and motioned to a piece of paper. He pulled a quill of his coat and dipped it in one of Jack's many ink pots.
He wrote three words; 'She's Pregnant, Jack"
At this Jack's jaw dropped.
"She's with child" he repeated to himself.
All this time Ana sat in the bed with a frown.
"I'm sorry, Jack" she muttered right after Cotton took his lead.
"Why? Why are you sorry Ana?" Jack asked with a strange state of calmness in his voice, "We're going to have a child".
"I can leave if you wish" AnaMaria muttered darkly still oblivious to Jack's alleged state of happiness.
"Wha'?" asked Jack surprised to hear this.
"I can, leave if you wish, captain" she repeated.
"Why woul' I wish tha'?" he inquired with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Jack- I know, I'm not important as your success and the ship, I can take the baby and leave" she muttered almost to herself. She couldn't believe she was saying this.
"Ana, I love you more than anything" Jack answered with confidence in his voice, "You and my child are staying here with me"
Ana glanced upwards at Jack, her eyes alight.
"Really?" she questioned.
"Aye, really. Now, wha' can I get you, mon cher amoureux?"
She smiled at his French and bent upwards to kiss his. He enveloped her face with his hands and kissed her, but was surprised when she pulled away.
"I want some rum" she muttered lightly before kissing him again.
He simpered at her, "As you wish". Jack stood up and walked over to the rum cabinet, pulling out two bottles.
"To us!" he proposed not expecting AnaMaria to say anything, but she did.
"And our baby" she noted before downing some rum.
mon cher amoureux- my dear lover
