And that was the day that Salina and Teague met. After that whenever Teague would make port in India he would visit her. They were even starting like each other more than friends. But then after a couple of months something weird started to happen to Salina.

Salina was kneeled over a bucket as she finished emptying the contents of her stomach. She was in her apartment's small kitchen with her friend Shanta.

"You have been getting sick a lot lately," Shanta said suspiciously as she held back Salina's hair so it wouldn't get in the way of her vomiting.

"So?"

"And it only happens in the morning too,"

"If you know why I'm sick just spit it out already," Salina said becoming irritated. This has been going on for a couple of days. Shanta tried to convince her to go to the doctor before but she figured it was just something she ate. Now she didn't know what to think.

"Well… when my cousin got morning sickness it was because she was pregnant."

"What! I can't be pregnant!"

"When was the last time you bled?"

"…I can't remember," she cried in panicked voice. She couldn't be pregnant! That was impossible! "It must be some sort of mistake, there's no way I'm pregnant!"

Shanta put her hand on Salina's shoulder. "You're in denial. Now do you have any idea who father is?"

"The father," she asked numbly.

"Yes, do you know…Salina!"

Apparently she couldn't handle the shock of being pregnant and collapsed. Luckily Shanta caught her before she hit the ground. She half carried half dragged Salina over to bedroom next to the kitchen and laid her on the bed. Then Shanta went to the kitchen and got a cup of water. She poured it over Salina's head and then she woke up.

"What...," she asked weakly as she tried to get up. She immediately felt dizzy and had to lie back down.

"You fainted."

"Oh, I wouldn't suppose all of that talk about me being pregnant was a dream, was it," she asked hopefully.



"Nope your defiantly with child. So do you know who the father is?"

I'm almost certain who the father is."

"Almost!"

"Well stuff happens alright, but I am almost certain that the father is…" and then her voice trailed off as she realized something. The father was Teague, the most wanted pirate on the Seven Seas! Having his child would put her in great danger.

"Shanta listen, if anyone comes by in the future asking some weird questions about who's the father tell them that I have no idea and it could be anyone."

"Why, what's going on," her voice rising a little with fear.

"Let's just say that there are some people who might want to hurt me or my child. Promise me that you will not tell anyone anything."

"I promise, so when are you going to tell me who the dad is?"

"Trust me it's a lot safer if you don't know, but I can tell you that he is going here in a couple of weeks and I'll tell him I'm pregnant then."

The next few weeks were boring. Then finally the Saturday came when Teague would be in port. She tried to think of the best way to tell Teague, but then she decided it would be easier to just blurt it out. Unfortunately she didn't have work that day so there was nothing for her to do but just sit and wait for Teague to show up at her apartment. After waiting for what felt like two hours (in reality it was only a couple of minutes) she decided to go to Teague instead of Teague coming to her.

She walked out of the inn and down the street. Then when she was about half way to port she ran into the person she hated the most in the world. Standing there was John Pillit and a couple other guys she'd never seen before laughing outside a building.

"Maybe if I just walk past them real casual like he will not notice me," she thought.

Then John looked over and spotted her. He walked right in front of her with a huge smile on his face. "I wasn't expecting to see you here," he mused

"Damn it," she thought. "Look I'm sort of in a rush so if you don't mind…" Salina said tried to step around him.



John just kept blocking her every attempt to get past him. By now the couple of people that he was just talking to was watching them with interest, but made no attempt to help Salina whatsoever. "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Where I go is none of your business, now move!"

"You aren't going to see that low-life Teague again are you?" He asked with a scowl on his face. After that night when Teague beat him in a swordfight John asked around and found out Teague's name. He also found out that Salina and Teague were becoming involved and he didn't like it at all.

"Move," she said becoming angry at the fact that the guy was not letting her through and how John just insulted Teague.

"Why do you like him instead of me? Teague is nothing but a drunken pirate who does not deserve to walk this earth! Not only that but…" John never got to finish that sentence because then Salina punched him right in the jaw.

John went crashing into the ground with blood coming out of his mouth and a huge bruise started to form on his jaw, going from the bottom of his jaw all the way to his lip. The people he was talking to before started to laugh and point at John, who was lying on the ground rubbing the spot where she punched him.

Then Salina walked right past him and headed toward the docks.

When she walked aboard the gangplank to the Misty Lady the crew was not surprised. They had seen her and Teague together at various taverns and other places so they just stood back and watched as Salina marched right into the captain's cabin.

Teague was studying his maps when he heard the door open. He looked up, irritated because whoever it was didn't knock, but that feeling quickly disappeared when he saw it was Salina.

"Hello love," he smiled at her.

"Teague, I got to tell you something," she said not smiling back.

He frowned. He could tell by the look on her face that something was wrong. "What is it," He asked as Salina sat down next to him.

"It's ...well," Salina stuttered.

"What is it," he asked again growing a little impatient.

"I'm pregnant."
