Mary sighed, lifting her shirt, she places a hand to her barely swollen stomach. She knew that sooner or later her pleasures would catch up to her. It had been nearly two months since the last time she bled. Hearing footsteps behind her, she throws her shirt down and turns around.

"Admiring your creation Mary?" Ah Tabai has a soft expression on his face.

Mary gasps, "Mentor! H-How did ya know?"

"I've known for a while now, your color has changed." He points to his eyes, "You used to be a blue color and now you are a deep indigo, I can see a small flame of light growing inside of you." Mary smiles at his words and places a gentle hand to her stomach, "I guess there really is something in there." Ah Tabai places a hand on her shoulder, "Congratulations." and walks out of the room. Mary lifts her shirt back up and speaks, "I can't wait to see ya. But for now, I have a target to catch."

She jumps to the Helm and barks, "Full sail men!" She swings the wheel sharply into the open ocean heading towards Kingston. Her mind wanders a bit as the crew begins to sing, 'Am I fit to be a mother? I don't know the first thing about children. And what am I supposed to tell Edward? He has a wife there's no way he will take in an illegitimate child, besides how am I to know he won't just abandon it. I'll probably have to give up the creed, or at least work the side lines no more chasing targets once it's born.' James sigh and her quatermaster looks to her in concern, "What's wrong captain?" She looks towards him and shakes her head, "Just disappointed, I should have been able to take this slaver out by now."

The quartermaster nods and she returns to her thoughts. 'How long can I hide this, I'm going to have to give up my James persona.' She's ripped from her thoughts swinging the wheel wildly as her quartermaster shouts, "Captain watch out! You're getting too close to that rock!" She lets out a breath she was holding handing the wheel off, she walks to the edge of the deck leaning off, unable to catch her breath. She gasps, "I see Nassau in the distance, we need to stop." Her quatermaster nods to her and swings the wheels sharply changing direction.

Before even stepping foot on the dock she could feel her stomach flip, the stench of piss became unbareable. She swallowed the bile that was threatening to make its way up and continued on her path. She walks up the stairs of the tavern, stopping to catch her breath to avoid loosing the contents of her stomach. She arrives to the top, making her way over to her comrades, ducking out of the way as a flying fist almost collides with her face.

"Oi! Ya two need to calm down, yer gonna kill someone!", James shoves the two down in their chairs and makes her way to the bar. She orders a cider hoping for it to calm her sickness. She walks back to the men and sits down next to Edward, who places a hand on her thigh. She shakes his hand off and glares at the man and he smiles at her unknowingly.

"Bag o shite you hear me? It's a bag o Bloody shite. It's a ruse to keep us up until they attack Nassau you'll see, mark me." Vane growled to the two men.

"It's no ruse I heard it straight from the mouth of a greasy Bermutain captain. There's a pardon, an offer for any Pirate who wants it."

"A ruse or no I think it's plain to know the British will be back, with arms no doubt, we'll need a plan."

Kidd groans as she feels the bile sitting at the top of her stomach, "Can ya guys just shut up for five seconds." She groans and holds her head in her hands. Edward places a concerned hand on her shoulder and she just whips it off. "Oh lighten up a bit Lad." Rackham throws an arm over her shoulder, that's all she needed for her small breakfast to come up. She runs quickly to the edge of the tavern and spews the contents of her stomach. She groans and leans her head on the weathered railing. She turns around when she hears snickering behind her, "Had too much to drink did ye? You need to learn how to hold your liquor like a real man." Rackham is mocking her.

"It's not the liquor, it's your shite stained breath." Kidd gags again remembering the stench and spews over the edge once again. She wipes her mouth with her sleeve and walks back to the group sitting back down with a groan. She leans back in her chair and closes her eyes.

"Oh jaysus stay away from me with that shite, I don't want to get ill." Vane scoots his chair a bit away from James. "I'm not contagious you ass", she says with closed eyes, she leans forward against the table fighting another round of sickness. Edward gives her back a soft rub and she leans into his touch, she wants to tell him so badly but it's too early, with the life she lives she might loose it and doesn't want to give him false hope. James sits back up and gives Edward a weak smile, Edward grabs her hand in his and tucks it under the table hiding it from sight.

"Another round Anne!" Thatch shouts to the barmaid. When she brings James a mug she declines. "Kidd you gotta nurse that cold otherwise you'll never get better!"

"I told ya already it ain't a cold." Kidd shakes her head at the man. "Just got injured and I'm still a little... unsteady."

"What ever you say lad, now men, we need to find medicines. It's our first step in beating those bloody men." Thatch says to the group.

"Aye, and I know of a shipwreck near here. Meet me there in the morning, Now James and I have some catching up to do." Edward stands up grabbing Kidd's by the shoulder, she rips herself from his arms and shouts, "I can stand on my own Kenway!" Edward puts his hands up defensively and shys away.

"In the dog house aye Kenway!" Vane laughs and jabs an arm into his side as James storms off.


"Thought I'd find you here, what's got you so upset?" Edward grabs James from behind and rests his head on her shoulder kissing her cheek. She leans into his touch, resting her face against his head. "It's nothing, just a bit stressed from my missions. I've been chasing one of my targets but I haven't had the chance to get him alone." Edward lowers his hands to her hips and trails his fingers above the edge of her pants. "You know what will fix that stress don't you?" He shoves a nimble hand down her trousers and rubs a calloused finger to her clit. She moans lifting her head into the air, Edward captures her lips in a smooth kiss and lowers his hand to her entrance. He sticks the tips of his fingers in and she moans into his mouth, turning around to face him. She throws her arms around his neck and opens her legs a bit wider giving him better access to her opening. He sets a quick pace and she let's a out a breathy moan, "Edward, can we take this somewhere more private?"

Edward slips his hands from her pants, picking her up darting to his cabin. Once he arrives he throws her on his bed and slams the door shut locking it behind him. He pulls his shirt off, stalking over towards her, he jumps onto the bed hovering above her and grinds his body into her lower half. She lets out a loud moan and hooks her legs around his hips. Edward pulls her shirt over her head and he moves his lips down to her hard nipple. She cries out in pain and he jolts his head up, "Sorry, they're a bit sensitive." Mary grumbles.

Edward nods and removes the last few articles of clothing, he aligns himself with her entrance and thrusts in. She grabs onto the sheets to ground herself, he pulls himself out and thrusts roughly back in. She is soon setting her own pace pushing herself into him. She throws Edward to his back, climbing on top of him grinding her hips heavily. He lowers his hands to her ass squeezing his nails into her soft skin, she lets out a hiss squeezing her eyes shut. She smashes her lips to his neck leaving a set of dark brusies. He pulls out of her tossing her onto her back. He grasps onto her knees pulling her thighs apart, he lowers his mouth slowly dragging his tounge up her slit stopping at the clit and gives it a rough suck. She arches her back throwing her hips into his mouth. Edward lowers a hand to his hard cock giving it a firm stroke. Mary pulls Edward up with his hair smashing her lips to his. She lift her hips up grinding onto his cock. He groans and lowers his mouth, taking a hard nipple into his mouth. Mary impatently grasps onto his cock and aligns it with her opening pushing her hips into him. Edward bucks hips feeling the warmth on his tip, he pulls out slowly watching her face tense in frustration. "Stop teasing me, I want ya to fuck me hard." Edward chuckles, "Impatient are we?" He places a tender kiss to her lips and thrusts evenly into her. She gasps clutching him to her chest, she rakes her nails down his back letting out a loud moan. He quickens his pace as he feels her walls tighten around his cock. She pulls Edward into a sloppy kiss crying out in pleasure when she reaches climax and Edward is following soon after. He slides out and flops down next to her. Pulling her to his chest he nuzzles into her hair, "I love you Mary, I truly do."

She's silent a moment, "What about yer wife Edward?"

"She left me some time ago and she won't return my letters, I don't think I will ever see her again. It's time I move on I'm afraid."

Mary relaxes into his touch an closes her eyes. Edward rubs her sides laying a hand to her stomach and she stiffens slightly. "Looks like you're getting a little belly, been snacking on the sweets have you?" Mary's eyes shoot open and she turns around smacking him across the face, "Ya saying I'm getting fat?" She glares at the man as he cowers under her, "No, I think it's cute." She lowers her hand giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Whatever you say Kenway." She rolls her eyes flopping back down on the bed rolling over, pulling the soft blanket with her. "Good night."
