Barbossa wrapped his arm around Alicia pulling her in for a hug. Alicia shocked at first stood there unable to think. She looked up at Barbossa with a confused expression.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I told ya ye were wrong", Barbossa said. "I do like ya."

Alicia was speechless. A smile slowly filled her face as she raised her arms around loosely wrapped them around his shoulders. She quickly came to her senses and hugged him tighter.

"Oh, Hector", she sighed. "I knew there was a reason I loved you!"

"'nd what reason be that?" he asked.

"Because you're a good person deep down inside. That and you have rugged good looks."

Alicia ran her hand across his cheek and let the tips of her fingers brush against his beard. She stopped and frowned.

"Oh, I forgot. You probably didn't feel any of that, did you?"

"Nay", Barbossa said. "But once we lift the curse, I would like ta feel it."

He ran his hand across her face.

"I'd like ta feel the warmth of a woman's flesh once again."

Alicia started shaking. Not just from the touch of his cold hand against her skin, but also from his words.

"You can't possibly mean what I think you're saying", she said.

"What's that I'm saying?"

"You...you would want...to have sex with me?" she squeaked.


"Ohh", Jenna moaned. "Happy...Happy!"

She felt Groves cover her mouth with his hand as he paused.

"Shh", he panted. "Be quiet, Jenna. We wouldn't want to alert anyone now, would we?"

She shook her head. Groves removed his hand and placed them on the sides of the bed and continued.

"Happy", Jenna moaned. "Happy..."

"Call me by my first name", he moaned.

"Theodore...oh, Theo..."


Jenna sighed with a smile on her face. Groves looked at her amazed.

"So, how'd you like dry humping?" she asked.

"I've never done anything like it before", he answered.

"Did you think it was weird?"

"No, I liked it. It felt good."

"Good", Jenna said. "Because this is about as far as we can go, you know? I don't want to have actually sex. No condoms, no birth control, I'll be pregnant within days!"

"What are condoms?" Groves asked. "And birth control?"

"They're used where I come from", she answered. "They keep a woman from getting pregnant."

"How do they work?"

"I'm not sure if I could tell you that. You probably wouldn't understand."

Jenna got up and went to the dresser. She picked up the brush and started brushing her hair.

"You'd better go", she said. "Andrew can come in here any minute."
