Hello my wonderful readers!
Sorry about not updating sooner I just got a new job, but anyways here is the final chapter of this book I plan on writing the 4th one, but it might be a while before I do. I plan on taking a break from writing really long stories for the moment. I'll probably write some Jack X Jade one shots or something to keep you guys entertained (I'll even take requests for some one shot Jack X Jade suggestions as long as it's rated T) until I post the first chapter of the next book ^_^. Anyways, please review! No hate! If you don't like the concept of this story then don't read it!

Chapter 19
(1 Month later)
A light breeze blew across my skin relieving it from the burning sensation that the sun left upon it. I wore long sleeved white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows. I also wore a pair of brown pants that were tucked into black boots, and being held in place by a long piece of rope that was covered by a red sash that fluttered lazily in the breeze.
I stared across the sea setting my sight on the horizon across from the docks of Tortuga with a scowl firmly etched on my face. To say I was irritated would be an understatement... Livid would be a better term to describe how I felt right now. It also didn't help that I had been having major mood swings a long with waking up feeling a wave of nausea hit my stomach like a cannonball. I also noticed my body was starting to change a little bit as well, but I didn't really pay any mind to it.
That was until Autumn had dragged me off the ship the first night we docked, which was about five days ago, with Alyssa firmly grasping onto her pant leg as we weaved through the crowded streets of Tortuga to the outskirts of the rowdy town. She dragged me into a hut that housed several mid-wives, she demanded that I let them test me for being pregnant. I finally gave up arguing, and listened to the mid-wife, Katrina, as she explained to me the process. I went through the motions, and was given results to it this morning.
I wanted to clear my head so I decided to walk back to the Pearl by myself. I took the longest route.
When I arrived I noticed one huge detail missing as Autumn stepped out from behind the barrels and up beside me hugging Alyssa to her side as if she was protecting her from the bad influences that was Tortuga.
Autumn placed a hand on my shoulder causing me to turn my head slightly to the side to see her face. She gave me a questioning look as I turned back to where I had been looking. If anything my scowl intensified more when I realized that this was not some sort of sick joke, but reality. Neither of us spoke in fact it was Alyssa who dared ask the questions that undoubtedly ran through mine and Autumn's mind.
"Mommy, where is Daddy and why is the Pearl sailing away without us?" Alyssa asked her voice full of worry, "Did Daddy forget about us and sailed away?" I fought the urge to growl as I took a calming breath before speaking. "I don't know, Aly. I do know that your father is not on the Pearl. In fact its because of your father's stupidity that the ship is sailing away. He should have known that Barbossa would have stolen the bloody ship right from under him the first chance he got," I replied with an edge to my voice that I couldn't seem to smooth over no matter who I was talking to.
I turned my back to the horizon as I went to address Autumn, but the words died in my throat as I caught a glimpse of Jack sashaying down the dock with two wenches, one under each arm, making his way to where we were standing. I felt another emotion welling up, and began fueling my current mood as I glared menacingly at my husband.
He didn't seem to notice as he stopped in front of us not really looking at any of us in particular as he inquired, "Where's the Pearl?" With out speaking a word I pointed over my shoulder, and stepped out of the way of his sight. A look of bewilderment came over his face as he looked over the horizon. "Why's it there?" he asked.
I felt an urge to growl again, but this time I didn't fight it as the irritated groan pushed itself out from deep within my chest. "Because," I snapped finally gaining his full attention, "you were the one who ran off the bloody ship to go get drunk last night without thinking of the possibility that Barbossa could have easily stolen the damn ship, dearest husband!"
The wenches gasped slapped him for lying to them about one thing or another. I noticed Jack studying me with a curious look after a while as I shot a questioning look his way. "What?" I snapped after a few minutes of him look at me like that. He shook his head and replied, "Are you alright, luv?"
I rolled my eyes and with a deep breath I began my rant. "No, Jack. I'm not alright. The Pearl is gone! Along with our MOST of our belongings! On top of everything I haven't been feeling well lately! I can't seem to sleep some nights, and without fail every morning I am woken from my sleep only to run to the nearest basin to get rid of the sick that is bound to force its way out of me! On top that Autumn dragged me to go see a mid-wife, and I finally know what's causing it Jack! I'M BLOODY PREGNANT!" I growled.
... TO BE CONTINUED
