Disclaimer: I don't own Pirates, but all my characters; all the ones that aren't in the actual movie.

Thanks to my wonderful beta: CaptainESavvy.

Mary Anne: Please don't. I've had enough of a bad day as it is. No problem. You deserve having a chapter dedicated to you. Thanks for staying with me on this story. I lost some of my reviewers which makes me sad. :( Thanks so much! You crack me up. Stay silly.

Jack may seem a little bit out of character in this chapter, but it was really the only way I could get him to actually explain what he saw had happened.


Jayne was sitting on the deck with her back up against the edge of the boat. Her stomach was in pain, and she was throwing up every morning. She was losing her appetite and having strange cravings for oranges. She was never a big fan of them until about four months ago. There was a strange sensation in her stomach. She had a strong feeling something was growing inside. A young child, to be exact, and she didn't expect it at all. At first it was a sensation but now she knew it to be true. She was four months pregnant and she was quite sure it was Will's. The only moment she could remember that might possibly have been when she conceived this child was after Will had just broken up with Elizabeth. But that would have been too soon after Elizabeth and she would have been fuming.

Her stomach had blown up so quickly that it looked as if she had just gotten fat. She was always embarrassed to walk around with her stomach protruding out. She kept herself locked in her cabin all day. The only time she would get up was to yell at someone to bring her oranges.

She moaned and picked herself up and went back to her cabin. She couldn't take the pain anymore and had to lie down. She didn't expect it to hurt so much now because she was really only four months along. She climbed up on top of the bed and pulled the covers over her stomach. There was a soft knock on the door and it was pushed open quietly. Someone peered into the room and Jayne knew almost instantly whom it was, the father of the child growing inside her, Will Turner.

"Jayne, how are you feeling?"

"What do you think?! I throw up every single morning and my stomach hurts like hell and I look like a hippopotamus!" Jayne shouted.

Her hormonal attitude was kicking in. It was a lot more profound now than before. She thought he would understand as to what was happening to her rather than asking her. Of course she was feeling bad! She was pregnant! She just wanted it all to go away. She wanted to stop craving those oranges, she wanted to get the baby out, she wanted to hold the child in her arms, and she wanted to live her life with Will, the one man she reckoned she actually truly loved.

"I'm sorry. I just don't know what to say. This hasn't happened to me before. And to be completely honest, I'm scared. Jayne, I'm really scared." Will's eyes flooded with tears as he came and sat down next to Jayne.

"I'm scared too." Jayne whispered as she snuggled up into Will's chest.

"I'm thinking Riley for a boy or Marianne for a girl. What do you think?" Will smiled as he pulled Jayne closer to him.

"I love it." Jayne's voice was soft as she smiled into Will's chest.

She knew everything would be wonderful; Will loved her and she could tell that. He was already thinking of names for the unborn child. There was one problem, or rather one thing that scared her. Elizabeth. How would she react to all of this? She didn't know what Elizabeth's take on this was, or if she was over Will yet. And the child…what would his or her last name be? She had hoped to be married before she got pregnant, but now that it happened before her marriage, she really didn't know what to do.

If she were to get married, she had to have her friend there but Bryn just disappeared. One moment Bryn was looking out at sea and the next she disappeared. Jayne had a strange feeling that she might have fallen into the sea and taken far out to sea. She was afraid that her friend was lost forever. Bryn was going to be her maid of honor. But now that Bryn was nowhere to be found, how was that meant to happen?

Jayne looked up at Will. His hand was placed underneath her chin and he brought her lips up towards his. He placed a light kiss on her soft lips. She smiled and closed her eyes to prevent the tears from running out. Will's hand had wiped them away.

"What's wrong?" Will asked.

"Bryn, I don't know where she is. And I'm really scared. I miss her."

"I know you do. Both she and Jack just disappeared."

"Just watch, they'll come back married or something like that." Jayne joked.

Will laughed out loud as he tightened his grip on Jayne. Will leant towards Jayne as he smiled at her. He pressed his lips against hers. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"No!" A voice came from the captain's quarters.

Jayne and Will broke immediately and looked up at each other. Will jumped off the bed and helped Jayne. The two of them rushed out of the room and up to the Captain's quarters. They knocked on the door. It was opened immediately and the two of them rushed inside. They saw Jack kneeling on the bed with his head in his hands. He was sobbing.

Jayne's eyes widened as she slowly walked towards Jack. She gazed over at him and turned her head left to find her friend Bryn lying there. She wasn't moving a muscle and it looked as if there was no movement in her chest whatsoever. She found herself leaning up against the bed with tears streaming down her face. Her friend was just lying here. She had no idea what had happened, where Bryn came from or why she had gone away. She found herself asking Jack.

"Jack, what happened?"

"She…I…Beckett…Steal…Gone…Sword…F-fall." Jack let out only words; there were no complete sentences.

Jayne had no idea what he was talking about. She, I, Beckett, Steal, Gone, Sword, fall; how did that all fit together?

"Jack, you need to speak in complete sentences. Tell me exactly what happened."

"Beckett…kidna-aped me. Bryn, f-fight. Sword near neck…Bryn, fall…Eyes close…I see…Gone." Jack could not stop stuttering.

Lord Beckett had done something to Bryn and Jack couldn't explain it. Jayne had an idea of what might have happened. Jayne's head fell into her hands and sobbed as Jack had done. Will's arms were around her, holding her close. She turned into his chest and cried. Will stroked her hair and tried to calm her down.

"Jayne, what happened?" Will's soft voice whispered.

"Beckett kidnapped Jack and I think Beckett and Bryn had a sword fight. Bryn fell and Beckett's sword was near her neck and…she…her eyes closed. She's…she's gone." Jayne's tears had covered her face.

She felt as if she had no more left in her body yet they kept coming out. Her heart had broken into pieces. Her body was turned towards her friend and Jack.

Gibbs stood behind Jack. He put his head on Jack's shoulder and was whacked in the face. Gibbs stepped back suddenly and ran out of the room. He came back minutes later with a cart of rum in his hands. Rum would always cheer Jack up. Gibbs hoped it would work this time.

"Cap'n, wan' some rum?" Gibbs was afraid Jack might whack him if he stepped close.

"Give me now!" Jack shouted as he snatched a bottle from the case.

He pulled the cork out and swigged down the rum. With each swig more tears fell down his face. He tilted the bottle upwards trying to empty out all the rum in the bottle. He noticed it was finished and threw it against the wall while reaching for another bottle. Jack had gone through half the case when he looked over at Jayne. He handed her a bottle, which she refused.

"It's good for the tears." Jack tried to smile, however it didn't work.

"I can't." Jayne stated.

"Why?"

Jayne touched her stomach, looked up at Will and back at Jack. Jack raised his eyebrows and gasped. He attempted to grin and turned to look down at Bryn.

"She would have been so proud of you. I…I am too." He smiled and gestured for her to sit next to him.

Jayne climbed up onto the bed and looked down at her friend.

"How…how…Did you see exactly how she…?" Jayne stuttered as she turned to Jack.

"Beckett had his sword at 'er neck and his hand on 'er shoulder holding 'er down. I noticed that he pushed his thumb down right nea' 'er collarbone and that was when she closed her eyes. He…he cut off her blood and she..."

"He what?! I'm going to kill that arrogant bastard! Why would he do such a thing to an innocent girl?" Jayne shouted.

"Because he's Beckett that's why! Do you really need an explanation?" Will snapped.

Jayne turned her head towards Will, narrowed her eyebrows and glared.

"I don't need you telling me what's obvious and not! You got it?!" Jayne's voice had risen from her previous shout.

Will flinched as she shouted, stepped back and bashed into the dresser behind him. His whole body was shivering. He was scared, really scared. Jayne had never shouted before and was now shouting more than ever. Will looked over at Jack who was lying next to Bryn. He noticed Jayne looking at him with a smile on her face. She didn't seem mad like before. Will was exceedingly confused. He had never seen someone snap back from being mad this fast before.

"Will, I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just the mood swings. I'm really sorry. You know I love you and would never purposely hurt you." Jayne said as she reached for Will's hand.

Will hesitantly reached for her hand letting her pull him close. He sat half of his butt cheek on the bed and looked down at Bryn on the bed. No one touched Bryn; no one wanted to send her out to sea. They all looked at her. Jack loved her far too much to just send her away. He had a secret wish that she wasn't actually dead but just pretending or had just passed out. Will couldn't bear to lose one of his best friends, and Jayne needed Bryn to help her through this as she always had.

The door was pushed open and all four of them; Jayne, Will, Jack and Gibbs turned to see who it was. Anamaria, Ben, and Marie had come to join the others. Anamaria and Marie stepped to the side of the bed and cried. They turned to each other and hugged, neither letting go. Ben slipped to the other side of the bed and peered over Jack.

"I can't believe we lost the great Captain Bryn Knox." Ben whispered as he wiped a tear from his eye.

Jack looked up at Ben and nodded. He missed her the most. And he never got to tell her how much he really loved her. He had told her before but he always hoped that he would love her more. He didn't realize how much he needed her until she was gone. His heart had been stolen by his best friend and exploded into a million pieces. The only person that could ever put his heart back together was Bryn herself. Now that she was gone his heart would forever be broken and would forever belong to the young girl lying next to him. Neither Scarlett nor Giselle would ever satisfy him anymore. He wanted Bryn. No one else was quite worth what she was.

The room was filled with sobs. There was one last knock on the door. In came Elizabeth Swann. She tottered over to the bed and whimpered. She reached out for Bryn and pulled back suddenly realizing what she was doing. She couldn't feel bad that Bryn died, she never really did like her all that much. But now that Bryn was actually gone Elizabeth felt bad for all the pain she had put Bryn through. As a child and even as an adult, Bryn needed all the respect she could get.

Elizabeth sank to the floor and clasped her hands together. She looked up at the ceiling and up at the bed in which Bryn laid. She opened her mouth to speak finding that words were pouring out.


Haha. It's a cliffhanger, I know... XD Review Please
