Three days were like an eternity to Barbossa. He spent those three days at Joanna's side, not leaving her for anything. Tia Dalma watched late at night when Barbossa would trace the features on Joanna's face. He traced the outline of her lips and ran his hand across her cold soft skin.

Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin'

"The wound should be healed now", Tia Dalma said.

She unwrapped the bandages from Joanna's head. In the place of a gunshot wound was now a scar.

"Joanna?" Barbossa said.

"She not alive yet", Tia Dalma said.

She sat at her table and picked up a handful of crab claws. She shook them and dropped them onto the table. As the claws gathered on the table, a bright smoke rose from them, into Tia Dalma's hand.

"This be her soul", she explained. "It must be returned to her body. Then she live."

I find myself somewhere I - I never thought I'd be
Going round in circles
Thinking about you and me

Barbossa watched as Tia Dalma gently placed Joanna's soul on her chest. He watched as it sank into her body, back where it belonged. Tia Dalma placed a hand on Joanna's hand and muttered as few words. They watched as she began breathing. He gently shook her body.

"Joanna? Joanna?"

Joanna struggled to open her eyes. Her eyelids felt as heavy as iron. When she managed to open her eyes a crack, they widened.

"Hector!" she weakly exclaimed. "You're alive!"

Barbossa smiled as he heard her voice.

"Aye, as are ye. Thanks ta Tia Dalma here.

Joanna looed at Tia Dalma. They gave each other a mere nod.

"I leave you two alone now", she said leaving the room and closing the curtain.

How do I expalin it when I don't know what to say
What do I do now - so much has changed

Barbossa turned his attention back to Joanna. She was running her thumb over his hand. He notice the sad expression on her face as she looked at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's just hard to believe you're alive again", she answered. "Especially after seeing you die. I couldn't live knowing you were gone."

"That be why ya killed yerself?"

Joanna nodded. Barbossa gently stroked her cheek. She placed both hands over his think if she let go, he'd leave her.

"I love you, Hector."

"I love ya too."

Nothing I have ever known - has made me feel this way
Nothing I have ever seen - has made me want to stay
But here I am - ready for you

Joanna slowly sat up and hugged Barbossa. He was gentle with her at first since she was barely alive. Barbossa kissed her passionately. She removed his hat and threw it onto the table nearby. He got into bed next to her. He wrapped an arm around her and gave her small quick kisses. Joanna helped him remove his jacket and shirt. Barbossa slowly wrapped his fingers underneath her shirt. Before he could see anything, she quickly pulled away and turned away from him looking ashamed.

"What is it?" Barbossa asked.

"I'm sorry", Joanna said. "I'm just a little scared. I've never done this before."

"Yer first time?"

She nodded.

"If I'm bad at this...will you still love me?" she asked.

"Of course. I promise I'll go easy on ya."

Joanna smiled. She hesitated at first, but pulled her shirt over her head. She took off her belt and let her skirt fall to the floor. She slowly turned back to Barbossa who had also removed his clothing. Joanna's eyes were drawn directly to the scar on his chest. Her hands gently touched it.

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

"It did", he answered. "Only when I didn't have ye."

Joanna smiled tenderly. She ran her fingers over Barbossa's scar. She leaned in and kissed it from tip to tip. Barbossa ran his fingers over the scar on the side of Joanna's head.

"Does that hurt?" he asked.

"No, it doesn't. Nothing will hurt as long as I have you."

I'm turnin', I'm fallin' - I hear my home callin'
Hey - I've never felt somethin's so strong - oh no
I'ts like nothing I've ever known

Barbossa wrapped his arms around Joanna and laid down next to her on the bed.

"Are ya ready fer this?" he asked.

She nodded. He positioned himself on top of her. He noticed as Joanna closed her eyes waiting.

"Are ya sure ye be ready?"

She grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him down until he was inches away from her face.

"Do it", Joanna whispered.

Barbossa's hands lowered to her waist. She shivered in delight as she felt his hands on her body. She tore his bandana off and ran her fingers through his hair. She let her hands roam to the back of his shoulders.

"This will hurt a little", Barbossa said.

"What do you mean it-"

Joanna was cut off as Barbossa thrusted himself inside her. She gasped loudly and dug her nails into his back. He stopped moving and looked at her. Joanna had a shocked look on her face with her eyes wide open.

"Are ya okay?" Barbossa asked concerened.

She nodded.

"Uh-huh. Don't stop. Keep going."

Now you're the one I'm looking for
You're the one I need

Barbossa slowly began thrusting in and out. Joanna relaxed a bit. The pain was traded for pleasure. She ran her hands along his back and moaned in pleasure and delight.

"Ohh, Hector", she moaned. "Faster! Faster, darling!"

"Nay, I wanna savor this moment."

"Do it fast! Then we can do it again slowly!"

Barbossa quickened his thrusts. Joanna wrapped her legs around his waist. She dug her nails into his back and gently grazed it.

"Am I hurting you?" she asked.

"Nay. Am I?"

"No! Keep going, darling!"

They continued their rhythm of passion. As they reached their climax, their rhythm slowed and came to a stop. Joanna panted heavily as Barbossa slipped out of her. He panted heavily as he looked at her.

You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe
Following a star - has lead to where you are
It feels so stong now - this can't be wrong now

"That was...amazing!" Joanna said.

"Aye", Barbossa said. "Ye were amazing."

She brought his head down and kissed the top of it. He gently laid his head down on her chest regaining his strength. Joanna wrapped her arms around him and ran her fingers through his hair. Barbossa relaxed as he heard her heart beating strongly. He listened to the soothing sound and sighed peacefully. Everything was the way it should be...for now.
