Chapter 9- Am I Pregnant.
It had been a month since Barbossa and Rachel had been married. Everything seemed to be going fine until Rachel had started to act weird. She was not eating and she threw up what ever she did eat. She was experiencing extreme bouts of exhaustion and tiredness. Barbossa was starting to worry. Alexis and Hector asked her what was wrong and she told them to leave her alone. Barbossa also tried with the same results. She had been very moody lately. Only one person on the ship did not seem too awful worried: Anamaria. Anamaria seemed excited about something. She had been married to Jack for almost as long as Rachel had been married to Barbossa. One day Barbossa asks Anamaria why she is not worried. She replies, 'I know what's wrong and so does she. You don't have anything to worry about." She laughs at his horrified face. He asks her, "What's going on with her?" "That's up to her to tell you on her own time. She just wants to make sure it is what she thinks it is. She will probably tell you soon. She is trying to deny it but the most important sign has appeared. It is obvious. This may bring you two even closer together than you may already be, or it will drive you apart. I think I am in the same situation. I do not know how Jack will respond if is what I think, it is and how I will tell him, (She has been doing the same things and she has been snapping at Jack). I will talk to Rachel about letting you know what is going on. She needs to keep you from worrying but, I want you to promise to take it calmly in front of her. Let her know you still love her and remember this when you find out, it was partly your fault." Barbossa says to her, "I promise I will." Anamaria nods and walks off towards Rachel then starts talking to her.
Rachel is listening to Anamaria tell her she needs to tell Barbossa. She thinks to herself, "How will I tell him I'm pregnant. I am showing all the signs. I am extremely tired and exhausted. I am experiencing morning sickness. My moods change so fast I cannot keep track of them and I am late." She knew for sure now that she was pregnant. She nodded agreement at what Anamaria was saying. Rachel looks over at her husband. Barbossa is leaning on the edge of the ship staring at the sunset drinking rum. He looks worried. She says to Anamaria, "I will tell him tonight." "I wish you luck!" "Same to you Anamaria." They both laugh at that. Rachel sighs and walks off to tell Barbossa
