Disclaimer: As always I don't own anyone you recognize from the original movie.

I dedicate this story to MusicalLife17 because without her I wouldn't have a title.

Claire: Do you really think Jack would kill her? I love your enthusiasm about this. I think you may be my only reader who's for Sam and Bryn. I might just have to write a little one-shot about Sam and Bryn that's deeper than the previous one just for you. Jack is going to be Jack, I assume you knew that. I thought that the fact that he was her escape was cute too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thanks so much. Enjoy this chapter...somehow.

Jack Sparrow stepped onto his ship hoping everything had just been a dream. He pushed his cabin door open finding it completely empty. Not realizing that he was wishing for someone to be there he climbed onto the bed and passed out. His deep slumber was awoken by a loud knock on the door.

"Jack, open up!"

Jack moaned dragging his body over towards the door. In front of him, was Jayne standing with a small Riley in her arms. She looked worried. Something was wrong and Jack wasn't sober enough to really seem like he could care. Riley turned his small head towards Jack and smiled his little smile before attempting to poke Jack.

In order to amuse the small child and hopefully wake himself up he moved closer allowing Riley to poke him. The boy laughed and began poking Jack with both his small chubby fingers.

"What do ye want Jayne?" Jack mumbled.

"Where's Bryn? I haven't seen her. It's been a couple hours. I'm really getting worried, and I was hoping she was in here with you, but as I can see she's not."

"What? Me Bryn is missing? No. It can't be. It's not possible. She wouldn't stay out for more than a few hours. I'm sure she'll be back soon."

"Jack, it's almost dark and she's not back yet. Do you think something might have happened? I know she left here in a rush and didn't go into the same pub as you."

"Are you saying she might have run off with some guy who we don't know, who might possibly be someone we do know that could have run off with Bryn to a pub that we don't know which may possibly be holding hostage to me Bryn and this guy who we might possibly know or not know?"

"I'm sorry, what? You lost me after the pub."

"Me darling Bryn may be in some pub with some guy that we might know!"

"She did leave here with someone actually. But I couldn't see his face. Do you think she'd be with him?"

"What…did…him…look…like?" Jack said spacing out each word carefully.

"He had thick short brown hair and was wearing clothes similar to yours just without the sash."

"That bastard thinks he can steal me wench." Jack shot through his teeth pushing Jayne aside and tore out of the cabin.

"Jack! Don't! Let me go find her," Jayne covered up Riley's ears, "Besides I need a little break from this munchkin."

Jack turned and looked at Riley, sighed and took him from Jayne's arms. He held the child and smiled secretly watching Jayne rush off the ship towards the second pub by the name of Purple Flamingos. Sitting down against the edge of the ship he placed Riley in front of him. The two stared at each other, just stared. Jack didn't know what to do with the kid but knew one day he would need to know something.

Scooping the boy up he walked around the deck screaming for the whelp would surely be able to help Jack take care of the boy since he was his son. Will was found lying below deck in a hammock fast asleep. Riley who could now speak short sentences turned to Jack and grinned.

"Daddy, no seep." Riley said playfully.

Jack just laughed and copied the boy, "Aye, daddy, no seep."

Will stirred in his sleep and mumbled. His eyes however did not open. Riley was getting frustrated. He repeated his sentence over and over again only to get a mumbling Will. The boy's eyes filled up with tears and his nose with mucus as he began to sniffle lightly. Small tears fell down his face as he buried his head in Jack's chest. Jack's hand stroked his soft brown hair. It was all he knew to do.

"Come on Will, get up. I don't know what the bloody hell to do with a crying baby let alone a baby in general. Get up filthy eunuch." Jack emphasized.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….....

The knocked repeated and after came a voice, "Your time is up."

I jumped out of the bed and grabbed my clothes pulling them onto me. My hair was fixed and pulled up into a high ponytail. We exited the room and paid the woman. Before we could rush out of the pub I spotted a girl who looked to be Jayne sitting at the counter with a mug in her hand. Her whole body was tense; she wasn't in a good mood.

My head fell as I slowly slid my feet towards the girl at the bar. I was afraid to approach her hoping she would be mad. Her body spun around, her eyes fierce staring directly at me. I sat down next to her. Indeed, it was Jayne and she was mad. Did she find out about Sam?! How could she have found out? No one told her. She…she saw me leave with him.

"Look Jayne, I can explain."

"Explain what? Now I'm really worried Bryn. Jack was just worried about you and all I did was come to find you. I wasn't expecting that at all. What the bloody hell did you do?"

"I uhm…Jayne, you have to promise you're not going to tell anyone, especially not Jack. JACK IS GOING TO KILL ME!"

"Bryn, calm down and just tell me what happened."

"I…I…just…" I moved my eyes back towards Sam and back towards Jayne in sadness, "I…just slept with Sam."

"YOU DID WHAT?!"

"You heard me."

"I know I did. I just wanted to hear you say it again."

"Jayne!"

"Sorry. I just…I…well…I needed an escape and at the time he seemed like the right thing."

"You used him as an escape to get away from Jack and all the stress about the fact that Davy Jones took Mira."

"So?"

"You can't do that! Especially to Jack! He loves you Bryn!"

"I know, I know. Don't tell him. Please."

"I won't. Don't worry. Just know that what you've done is going to haunt you for the rest of your life."

"Well yes. Now you're making me feel bad."

"You should feel bad! You cheated on your husband."

"I was drunk; it technically doesn't count now does it?"

"No, sorry, it counts. If you kiss another man that's not your husband it's called cheating."

"Well how can I fix it?"

"You can't."

"Then I'm in trouble."

"As long as you don't come back with Sam, I'm sure you'll be fine for at least a little while."

I nodded and hugged my friend.

"Just because I'm hugging you don't mean I forgive you for what you've done to my friend and your husband."

"I know Jayne."

Bouncing off the seat I rushed back towards The Black Pearl to find my husband. He was sitting on the deck with Will and Riley. They all looked so happy. Jack was smiling. Riley was giggling. The three of them were having a good time. I didn't want to ruin it but I knew if I stayed away any longer the suspicion of me being out with Sam would only worsen and perhaps Jack wouldn't be talking to me. My boots stepped up onto the deck and walked towards the three boys.

I looked down at Jack smiling. His reaction was exactly what I had expected. Let down, worried, hopeless. I took his hand and pulled him up. Pulling him lightly towards the bedroom, I never let the smile leave my face. His body was pressed up against the wall as I leaned in towards him. On my chest sat his hands as they pushed me away.

He said one word, "No."

I'm pretty sure that's not a cliffhanger. But if you think it is then I'm sorry. Reviews make me happy.
