The Infamous Capitan
Authors Note- I am risking serious consequences with my parents to be up typing this. I am hitting the keys so lightly, my mom is asleep in the next room and she could strike at any moment. All this because I made a promise...one that I forgot until I reached into my backpack twenty minutes after I was suppose to be in bed. So, enjoy. Also, the baby is going to remain Will's baby. That damn banner, he just kept staring, can't say no to him. And Diane's right, part of Will has to live on, since I was nasty enough to kill him.
Chapter Nine
Jack, had not being in this situation for a very long time, wasn't sure how to react. He held her tightly and gently stroked her back with his available hand, wondering if he should attempt to say something, or only let her continue with her tears. It was then that he thought to himself, the pain Elizabeth was suffering had to be his fault. Had he never proposed, or even had the thought about it, or even cut a single strand of his hair, she wouldn't be crying. But that wasn't the truth.
He tightened his hold around her and thought about the day Will died. It was only later that Jack had realized he could have done something to change what had happened, if only..
No. He couldn't think that, not even for the slightest. Perhaps she could sense what he was thinking, and he didn't want to add to the pain.
Elizabeth slightly broke away from him, her deep eyes glistened in the sunlight along with the tear stains on her cheeks, " I-I can't believe he did that" she choked.
Jack brushed away a stray tear with the pad of his thumb, " maybe we should let him be for awhile, time is known to be the best healer". Did he just say that? Sober?
She gently shook her head, " no, his mind is made, and that's his decision".
" Of so, then he will regret it the rest of his life" there was a look of uncertainty in her eyes. Moving his arm around her, he revealed their certificate that he had been holding. Now he had it between two fingers on each hand, " just say the word, it'll be in a thousand pieces and we can act as thought none of this ever happened".
Elizabeth tore it from his possession, " no! Jack, you're all I ever had and all I have left".
He wasn't sure of his own expression at that particular moment, but it seemed to have had quiet the reaction from her, " I wasn't all you ever had" whether she had already known that or not, he wouldn't let her by without yet knowing., " two minutes after I met you I had a pistol to your head".
" Yes, but two minutes before that you saved my life".
He didn't want her to change her mind, but it was her mind to freely change, " you were in no position to make such a decision about a marriage".
" Well I'm not regretting it!" she screamed, " unless, you are".
Jack froze for a moment, trying to find his words, " no, I'm not".
" Look at us!" Elizabeth cried, " we've been married for nearly an hour and we're already fighting like other couples. Jack, we're not like other couples. We weren't in love, we were hardly engaged, you proposed in spite of the situation I was in. And we're going to have a baby in six months, this is not something you find all the time".
" Six months?" Jack exclaimed in shock, " it takes six months!".
" Nine actually".
" What's it doing in there all that time?" he pointed to her abdomen, " you should charge it rent".
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, but was humored, " it's waiting until we're ready".
" That's going to take a lot more than six months! It doesn't even take that long to, you know, make the baby".
She giggled, " can we go to the ship before you find out some other horrifying fact".
He slowly began walking along with her, " no, no I want to know the horrifying facts, all of them".
" I'm afraid I don't know all of them myself, I'll have to learn with you. But I'm going to vomit sometimes, and I'm going to get...fatter".
Jack took her hand in his, " then I'll vomit and get fatter too".
Elizabeth fell hunched over herself, laughing uncontrollably. Unable to continue walking, Jack scooped her into his arms and went on. She was still giggling when arriving at the Black Pearl.
As the newlyweds climbed aboard, they were greeted by a loud uproar of applause, odd to see men with stained skin and missing teeth to gesture such an occasion. Anamaria immediately hugged Elizabeth. " Mrs. Jack Sparrow, we thought there would never be one. Gibbs, you owe me two shillings!".
" Thanks for the support" Jack sarcastically commented to the aging man.
" And he's going to be a father! Make that three shillings!".
" We should really give them their gift first" Gibbs said, " before I go broke".
"Gift?" Elizabeth glanced at Jack with a weary eye, " what gift?" but he only shrugged, completely clueless.
With the entire crew eye struck, both Gibbs and Anamaria slipped a hand into their own pocket, " a little something your forgot at the ceremony".
" Besides me" Anamaria added.
" Lets see' Jack counted off on his fingers, " vows, certificate, kiss, tempered Commodore bursting in...no, I think we got it all".
With each fist unfolding into a palm, there laid a small gold band, resting in each hand. Elizabeth gasped, Jack's eyes suddenly grew. Each took one from either hand and faced each other. Jack delicately took her fingertips in his hold, sliding the cold metal onto her finger, this time being the proper finger, over the one he had given to her the night before. With clammy hands, she placed his over his tan line.
" I guess this makes it really true" Elizabeth gently whispered.
Jack grinned, revealing his gold teeth, " you're stuck with me now".
