Chapter 4

I laid down on the bed with a sigh of relief. My body felt lighter and the achiness began to go away a bit. Being eight and a half months pregnant on a pirate ship wasn't easy. My father had begged me to go to shipwreck cove to wait for them to arrive, but I knew I had to be there. Jack would of never agreed to go with them if he hadn't seen me. But I also knew my body and the baby were strong enough to handle whatever was thrown at us. I closed my eyes and began to sing a lullaby while rubbing my swollen belly. The baby seemed to like it, he kicked as if he was saying to keep going. A smile spread across my face

"Oh you're just like your father he loves to hear me sing,"

"That I do, love," I heard Jack say from his side of the bed. I jumped; my eyes flashed open as I looked over at him. He sat down on the bed pulled off his boots and unhooking his pistol on his belt. I sat up resting my back against the headboard of our bed. We both sat there silent for a few minutes looking into each others eyes. I couldn't believe that Jack was really here. I had spent what felt like an eternity alone but now he was back and I was grateful for this moment.

"Jack I missed you so much," I said softly. I could feel the tears trickling down my cheeks, "I was so scared I didn't know how I could have survived without seeing your smile everyday. Not hearing those darn hair brained schemes of your's anymore. Not having you there to catch me when I fall. I-I," I couldn't finish as a sob escaped my mouth. Jack without hesitation pulled me into his arms. I buried my face into his chest smelling the familiar scent of salty sea water and rum. He rubbed my back saying:

"I know Rose I'm so sorry, love that you had to go throw that. I missed you too, I thought of you every second before you "rescued" me," I pulled away looking into his eyes.

"Don't you ever do anything like that again to. Do you understand," I sniffed punching his arm. For the first time I saw his eyes begin to water as he nodded.

"Yes, I won't ever do that again, I promise. I love you, I can't imagine what you went through and knowing it caused so much pain it kills me, Rose," he said, his voice shook "I can't help but blame myself. I should of fought harder or o- or," his breath hitched, "I'm sorry I'm so sorry," he buried his face in my hair his body shook with silent sobbs. I rubbed his back whispering comforting words into his ear.

"It's not your fault Jack, you did what you could. But you're here now and that's all that matters," I said he pulled away from me a small smile on his face.

"Yes I am and I'm so happy to be here with you once more. As long as I live I will be here by your side my lovely Rose," He reach cautiously towards my belly. I smiled up at him I grabbed his hand, guiding it to a spot where the baby was kicking. "Because now I have two reasons to live, to fight, you and our child," he leaned down kissing my belly, "Daddy loves you," he said. I was beyond happy.

"You're going to be a great father," I said, he shrugged.

"I don't know I never really had my dad around. I don't even know how to be one," he frowned.

"You love our child more than anything in this world, right?" I asked him.

"Yes, of course," He replied.

"All you need is to just love him and care for him, that's a good way to start," I said I placed my hand over his.

"Him?" Jack raised an eyebrow.

"I think it's a boy I had a dream about it," I explained.

"Wouldn't surprise me, the baby has a strong kick," he laughed kissing my cheek.

"Yea, try having him in your ribs all day while he's doing that."

"Oh then he's definitely my child, he's already driving someone insane. What I'm very skilled in,"

"Yes, indeed," I said rolling my eyes.

"You know that you're the most beautiful woman in the world," Jack smiled kissing my neck.

"You've told me that a few times," I laughed.

"Well carrying my child makes you even more amazing to see," he whispered in my ear kissing my earlobe.

"Jack," I moaned.

"I've missed your touch so much love," he said sending a trail of light kisses along my shoulder.

"And I have missed yours too," I said softly he kissed me passionately I laid down on the bed and Jack hovered over me. Before we could even think we heard Elizabeth yell.

"It's my father, we've made it back!" Jack jumped up pulling on his boots and pistol.

"Stay here and rest love," he said quickly as he made his way over to the door. I ignored him pulled on my shoes and hopped up onto my feet exiting the room. "Why do I even try," Jack sighed following close behind me. Elizabeth hung from the side railing waving her hands in the air as if she was trying to get someone's attention.

"Father, Father here, look here!" she exclaimed. Will, Tia Dalma, and Abigail stood beside her looking out at the sea. Jack grabbed my hand and we made our way over to stand by Elizabeth. I could see millions of row boats with people on them as they floated past us. In one of them was Governor Swann.

"Elizabeth… we haven't made it back yet," I told her placing a hand on her shoulder. I could see disbelief and pain flash across her face. She ignored me calling out to him again till he looked up finally noticing her.

"Elizabeth! Are you dead?" he asked

"No," She replied shaking her head relief washed over the Governor's face.

"I think I am," he said.

"You can't be," Elizabeth cried, following his boat as it floated farther down.

"There was this chest, with this heart that didn't seemed important at the time," Governor Swann explained. Our small group exchanged looks with each other, knowing all too well who's heart he was speaking of.

"Come aboard!" Elizabeth begged. He ignored her and kept explaining on.

"And the heart, I learned that if you stab the heart, yours must take its place and you will sail the seas for eternity. The Dutchmen must have a captain, but it's such a silly thing to die for,"

"Someone cast a line, come with us!" Elizabeth said throwing out a line to her father's boat. He didn't grab it; he simply sat there a sad smile on his face.

"I'm so proud of you, Elizabeth,"

"Father! Father take the line, take it," she yelled. As the boat floated farther away into the mist, the line slipped off it. Elizabeth ran to the other end of the ship getting ready to jump in after him.

"She must not leave the ship," Tia Dalma exclaimed.

"Someone grab her!" I ordered. As much as I hated Elizabeth, I couldn't let her die like that. I wanted to have the satisfaction of being the one to put a bloody bullet through her head. Will ran over, grabbing her and pulling her away from the rail. She screamed and kicked crying for her father to come back. Abigail looked at Tia Dalma asking::

"Is there a way for him to return with us?" She shook her head saying

"Him at peace,"

I sat in a chair near the chart watching as Jack messed with the chart.

"No water, why is all but the rum gone?" I heard Pintel moan.

"The rum's gone too!" Gibbs replied Jack quickly looked up at me.

"What did he say?" he asked.

"Well he said…the rum's gone," I said.

"What! Why is the rum always gone!" he exclaimed.

"We can get more rum later, Jack! Now figure out how to get out of this bloody locker before I rip your head off," I hissed.

"Alright love breath," he said, returning his attention back to the chart.

"If we cannot escape these doldrums before night, I fear we will sail on trackless seas, doomed to roam the reach between worlds, forever," Tia Dalma explained.

"No! No, no, no, I am not having my child in Davy Jones Locker! We are going to figure this damn riddle out," I yelled, getting up from my chair to take a look at the chart once again.

"But it makes no sense, the green flash happens at sunset, not sunrise. How is that even possible?" Abigail pointed out.

"Over the edge, that's driving me over the bloomin' edge the sunrises don't set!" Gibbs sighed frustrated.

"Up is down...well that's just maddeningly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?" I heard Jack mumble to himself.

Jack's POV

I was about ready to throw the bloody chart into the ocean where it damn well belonged. My wife looked as if she was ready to have our child any day now, and having the child here didn't sound safe at all!

"Clear as mud, Jackie," a mini me said popping into my right shoulder.

"What?" I replied quiet confused.

"Stab the heart!" mini me exclaimed then a second mini me popped into my left shoulder saying:

"Don't stab the heart!"

"Come again, when did stabbing the heart have to do with getting me and my wife out of here?" I frowned.

"The Dutchman must have a captain. If you stab the heart you will never have to worry about returning to this place. Putting your wife through the heartache of you being a marked man once more," the second mini me explained.

"Well that's even more than less than unhelpful. But you still have a very good point," I replied.

"Sail the seas for eternity," Mini me number 1 said.

"I do love the sea," I smiled.

"What about Rose?" The second mini me asked.

"You have a point there too," I frowned. She was my other half, I couldn't live an eternity without her.

"You'd only get to see her once every ten years," the second mini me said sadly

"What'd he say?" the first mini me asked me.

"We'd only get to see her once every ten years," I told him.

"Ten years is a long time, mate. Your boy would be a young man by the time you'd get to see him," first mini me said amazed.

"He would and I'd miss all of it," I said.

"Eternity is longer still especially without the both of them," The first mini me pointed out.

"And how will you be spending it? Dead? Or not?" The second mini me replied "The immortal Captain Sparrow."

"As much as I like the sound of that, it's not worth putting in jeopardy the life I'm going to have with Rose once we get out of here," I said making my decision.

"Come sunset it won't matter," the second mini me frowned then they both poofed away.

Nightstar's POV

I watched Jack have a private conversation with himself as he rotated the circles on the maps.

"Okay, I think we need to get out of here as soon as possible for Jack's sake," I told myself, "Humm, Jack dear are you alright?" I asked him, putting a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me, a smile on his face

"Not sunset, sundown! And rise… up!" he exclaimed hugging me then, "I want you to go into the cabin and stay there until I come to get you," He said.

"Jack, what's going on?" I said utterly confused.

"Please Rose, don't argue with me just do what I ask for once," he pleaded.

"Alright," I sighed I went into the cabin. I sat down on the bed wondering what the hell was up with my husband. "Maybe this place did finally drive him totally insane," I thought to myself. I laid down feeling the boat rock back and forth on the waves. The rocking seemed to get harder and harder before I even knew what was happening. The bed began to slide from one side of the room to the other. I quickly jumped off the bed and tried to make my way over to the door. Everything in the room was sliding. One of Jack's bookshelves fell over, then it slid, coming right for me. I quickly moved out of the way. My back slammed into the wall. I could feel the baby moving frantically inside me. I put a hand on my belly, rubbing it, hoping to calm him down.

"Shhh, it's okay baby," I said. The dresser slide in front of the door blocking my only way out. I could feel the boat flip. I screamed grabbing onto a loose beam on the wall holding on for dear life. The water began to flood into the room from the door cracks I took a deep breath then the water went over my head. Every second felt like a minute as I waited for the end to come. There was a flash of green then it felt as if the ship rushed upward I could hear the splash of the ship hitting the surface. The water quickly drained out of the room I sat on the floor taking a few deep breaths in. We were back in the land of the living I knew that for sure!
