Chapter 52
(Warning: Love scene ahead!)
Jack was walking towards the docks of Tortuga when he heard his name being called. He turned and saw a furious Jane walking towards him. He smirked at that. No matter how many times she scolded him he always hoped he'd do something stupid so he could just see that furious expression upon her regularly calm face.
"Aye, luv? What can I do for you?" he asked as he eyed her up and down, watching as the soft breeze made her dress move along her curves.
I know what you could do for me… He thought as he grinned at her and took a few steps closer to her.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" she asked with her hands on her hips. Jack's eyebrows went up and he frowned before he brightened again.
"Oh, right! Come with me at the tavern then! I'm gonna show you off!" he said, the gold in his mouth glittering in the sun that was getting ready to set.
He walked over to her and wrapped an arm around her waist only to have her slap it away with a scowl.
Here it comes… He thought as he held his wounded hand close to his chest, an expression of hurt on his face.
"Oh, stop that puppy dog face! You promised!" she pointed a finger at him and he squinted his eyes at her.
"I promised? What did I promised, luv?" he asked as he let go of his hand.
"You promised that I'd see a physician as soon as we docked here. And you forgot to even take me with you to shore!" she said and his eyes widened.
"Oh, that!" he spoke in a high voice.
"Right, of course you'll see one…I just have other plans now. I planned with some of the crew and …Hector, to have some rum-…"
"I don't care! It's getting late and I want to see someone who can tell me that my baby is fine." She said with her hands crossed over her chest.
"Our baby." He cut in and she glared at him.
"Not if you keep forgetting its existence!"
"I do not! I can see that your belly's grown." He said defensively.
"Are you saying that I'm getting too fat for your taste?" she asked even more angry that before.
Jack paused. Oh bugger…
"No, that's not what I mean darling. I'm just saying that I do notice you and the babe." He said with a nervous smile.
"So, what am I supposed to do? I don't even know this island!"
"No worries, luv. Gibbs!" he called and his first mate that was getting ready to go ashore turned and walked towards them.
"Aye, Captain?"
"I want you to take Miss Jane to the midwife in town." Jack said and Jane glared at him.
"What?" he asked with a pout.
"Aren't you coming with me?" she asked quietly and he bit his lip.
"Luv, I can't right now…but I'll come find you after I have some talking with you know who." He pointed towards Barbossa who was waiting impatiently with his hands on his hips.
"Really?" she asked as her face lit up.
"Aye. You go along now. I'll try not to be long." He grinned as he kissed her cheek and moved back.
"Keep a sharp eye on her or I'll have you swabbing the deck for a month." He threatened Gibbs who rolled his eyes.
"I don't swab the deck, Jack. I'm the first mate." Gibbs muttered.
"Aye, but I'm the captain!" Jack shot back before he winked at Jane and walked away.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gibbs, he's just teasing you." Jane said as she placed a hand on Gibbs' arm.
"Aye, lassie. Let's get going." He said with a kind smile as they headed for the midwife.
On their way there they must have encountered at least ten taverns if Jane was counting right. After some long walking they finally arrived in front of a relatively small house. A row of women were waiting outside and Jane's breath caught at the sounds coming from inside.
"Who are they killing?" she breathed to Gibbs who looked at the women sympathetically.
"Well, not all of them can afford to keep the babies, lass. They come here to…" he trailed off uncomfortably.
"To get rid of them." She finished for him and he nodded.
"Oh, my God! He's not sent me to a butcher, has he?" she panicked and Gibbs chuckled.
"No, lass. The midwife is good."
"I can hear that…" she whispered as another loud scream broke the dead silence of the women that were waiting patiently.
"Who are those women anyway?" she whispered and Gibbs cleared his throat.
"Well…they are…you know." He concluded awkwardly and she nodded.
"Oh! Sorry. I have it now." She said as she looked at the women in front of them.
"It'll probably take a while." Gibbs muttered.
"I know…If they all want to do what we heard; we'll be here till tomorrow." She said as she shivered when the screaming woman from inside exited the house, looking pale as a sheet, walking precariously on weak legs. Jane looked away as the woman walked slowly away. She shook her head and placed a hand on her stomach protectively.
Jack was sitting next to Cotton while Barbossa was showing them a map.
"Are you finishing?" Jack asked bored as he took another sip from his rum.
"Almost. Why? Are you in any hurry?" Barbossa asked with annoyance.
"No, but I most certainly know how draw a heading and I don't need you to teach me. Savvy? Oh, lass! More rum here!" he called over to the barmaid while Barbossa glared at him.
"You could have fooled me, Jack." He asked and that blasted monkey kept moving around his shoulders, causing Jack to glare at it wildly.
"Get on with it then." Jack said through gritted teeth as he gulped down more rum. His eyes looked around the tavern and spotted a few of the ladies staring at him while giggling and he smirked into his mug.
"I still got it…" he murmured.
"What?" Barbossa asked sharply.
"Nothing." Jack snapped back as he put down his half empty mug.
Hours later…
Jane watched as the last woman in line entered the midwife's house and she sighed as she turned to look hopefully towards the street.
"He'll come, lass." Gibbs said from next to her and she smiled sadly.
"It's okay if he doesn't…He won't be of much help anyway." She said quietly as she looked towards the door again.
Of course he would…you're just too proud to admit it. The little voice in her head whispered and she sighed as the last woman exited the house. It was her turn. She took a last look towards the street before she walked inside, Gibbs following close behind her.
Jack's laughter reached Barbossa's ears as he tried to feed his pet-the monkey- and he looked up sharply, his eyes narrowing into slits as the man across from him looked at him and giggled while having two women on his lap. Jack let out another drunken chuckle as he raised his mug to take another sip from his rum. The women on his lap looked at him funnily and he opened his mouth to speak.
"Look at tha'! Isn't that ridiculous?! Watch out, mate. He might bite your fingers off." Jack said before he burst into another fit of laughter. Barbossa rolled his eyes and grabbed his own rum.
"That was…entertaining, captain. But we could have a far better time upstairs instead of looking at a monkey." The blond woman on his right knee said in his ear and Jack's eyes widened as he had a very clear view of her cleavage.
"Eh…I'm not done with me rum yet…" he muttered as the woman batted her eyelashes at him.
"And I can't go anywhere wit' you." He added as an afterthought while both women narrowed her eyes at him.
"Why not, Jack?" the woman on his left knee asked and he shrugged.
"I have me own woman. And she's far better than you! Oi! Why are you sittin' on me lap?" he asked looking at them like they dropped from the sky.
"I bet she can't do certain things…" the blond woman purred as she slid her hand down to his breeches while Barbossa watched in disgust.
Jack looked down as her hand disappeared into his breeches and placed his mug on the table before he clasped her wrist tightly, a smirk on his face.
"She's already done that. In a far more pleasant way. She-…" he trailed off when something clicked in his mind.
"Bugger!" he tried to sit up from the chair but the women on his lap blocked any movement.
"Up! Up!" he slurred angrily and the women huffed before they stepped back from him. He stood up on wobbly legs and he grabbed his hat before he headed for the exit.
Cotton saw the way he walked and stood up to follow him in case he fell on his face.
Jack walked hurriedly down the street while the older man tried to catch up with him. Jack turned a corner and started walking into a dark alley, cursing as he did so. He paused when he arrived at his destination and saw two figures exiting an old house. He narrowed his eyes to see better and then his face brightened.
"Janey! Wait up!" he called, waving his hands around before he hastily walked towards her. Cotton raised his hands up in the air before he turned and walked back to the tavern.
Jane paused in her steps when she heard her name being called by a slightly drunk Jack. She stopped and Gibbs did the same, watching as the pirate captain ungracefully ran towards them with his arms flailing around him. Jane's eyes narrowed as she waited, ready to start scolding him again but he shocked the devil out of her when he reached her and fell onto his knees in front of her, his arms hugging her waist while he buried his face in her stomach.
"Jack…?" she sputtered as he nuzzled his face in her belly, his arms like claws around her waist. Gibbs watched with wide eyes as his captain started behaving strangely.
"I forgot the runt!" Jane heard him mumbled into her heavy skirt and she blinked.
"What?"
"I forgot about the babe." He repeated as he looked up at her with a pout. Jane chuckled and placed her hand on his head, his precious hat long forgotten on the dirty ground where it fell in his struggle to get close to her.
"You're here though…It's okay. Stand up." She said softly and he took another look at her stomach before he stood up, brushing his knees clumsily.
"Are you drunk?" she asked and Jack nodded twice.
"Where you at the tavern?" again another nod and she sighed.
"Okay, let's go back to the ship." She said as she took his arm and pulled him close. Gibbs picked up his captain's hat and followed them, shaking his head. Jane saw Jack looking at her stomach again sadly so she took his hand and placed it there. The action caused him to flinch at first but then he relaxed.
"Everything's fine." She said into his ear as she held onto his arm while they walked. Jack looked up from her stomach to her face, watching her as she gazed ahead of her and smiled drunkenly before he leaned forward and placed a kiss to her neck, startling her.
"Jack." She warned and he pouted.
"I'm being good!" he said as he focused on walking. The sooner they arrived on the ship the sooner he could be alone with her. He wasn't that drunk.
Soon they arrived on the ship and Jane closed the door to the cabin, letting go of his hand and removing her shoes with a wince. Jack watched her before he slopped on the bed to struggle with his own boots and coat.
"Jesus, how much did you drink?" she asked as she came to stand in front of her, "And what's that?" she asked as she pointed to his right cheek where a red stamp was. Jack's hand flew to his cheek and wiped at it.
"Nothing!"
"It's make up! Who kissed you?" she asked and he wiped his hand on his leg.
"No one…just some noisy wench."
"A wench? What were you doing with them?" she asked angrily and he held his hands up in surrender.
"I didn't do anythin'! I just looked down…and there they were, right on me lap!" he said and she gasped.
"They were more than one?!"
"Aye…but I shooed them away." He said nodding happily and she groaned.
"I think I'm going to put a label on you." She stated and he frowned.
"Eh?"
"I'm going to place a sign on your back that'll say: Private property. Stay away from me!" she said and somehow he found it funny for he started laughing. Jane watched him and she couldn't help but smile too. He reached with his hand and pulled her forward. She landed onto his lap and his mouth latched onto her neck immediately, his hands stroking her sides and stomach as she squirmed in his arms.
"Oh, luv…I'm sorry." He breathed into her ear as he held her tightly.
"It's alright…" she said as she turned in his arms and placed her arms around his neck. Jack looked at her eyes before he leaned forward and kissed her lips, his hands already tugging at her dress. Jane leaned into the kiss and pressed closer to him, her hands moving under his shirt to touch his chest and back. He moaned hoarsely into the kiss and tugged rather harshly at the laces of her dress tearing it in the process. Jane gasped into his open mouth and he chuckled huskily against her lips.
"Oops, sorry…I'll get you a better one." He breathed as his eyes widened at the sight of her exposed skin. He let the dress fall on the floor before his hands touched her back.
"No, you won't…you're just going to steal it." She whimpered as his hips gave a thrust upwards and his lips went to her collarbone while her hands gripped his shoulders tightly. Jane gasped loudly when she found herself on her back with him pressing her against the mattress, his face hovering a few inches away from hers.
"No more talking, Janey…" he breathed as he moved back so he could remove his vest and shirt. He unbuckled his belt and threw it away before he leaned down and covered her lips with his again. His tongue parted her lips as his hips gave another thrust against her. Jane's hands found anchor on his lower back and tried to pull him closer. Jack's hand slid down between their bodies without breaking the heated kiss. His fingers brushed tenderly over her swollen stomach before they went lower between her thighs. A pleased grin appeared on his lips when she gasped and arched towards his hand while he tore his lips away to kiss and lick at her neck and shoulder.
"Jack…"
"Aye, luv?" he breathed smirking against her skin.
"Jack." She almost whined and he laughed huskily against her skin.
"Is there something you want, luv?" he whispered into her ear as he bit lightly on her skin.
"Just get on with it already!" she writhed under him, her stomach brushing against his, suddenly catching his attention. He paused in his ministrations and looked at it before he let his hands brush over it gently. He leaned down and pressed a kiss there before he returned to her lips, his hand getting rid of his breeches.
"As me love wishes…" he breathed as he took hold of her legs and pressed against her with a moan.
"Oh, God…" she breathed and he grinned.
"Getting hypersensitive, aren't we? That's good…" he trailed of as he brought his hips back and thrust into her deeply, his hands searching for hers to grasp. He groaned and captured her lips again, his hands squeezing hers tightly. She tightened her legs around his hips and her name left his lips in a desperate hiss. Jane smiled at the reaction she got from him and leaned forward to kiss at his neck, tasting the salty skin there. A long, low moan vibrated in his throat and she continued her kisses before he slammed her back onto the mattress and kissed her hard. His thrusts became deeper and faster while he refused to let her mouth free from his.
"God, Jack!" she gasped as she turned her face away to breathe. He growled low in his throat and reached for her mouth again as she arched and trembled in his arms. Moments later he tensed and stilled above her, his head thrown back in pleasure.
"Jesus…bloody hell…" he gasped as he panted for breath. He rolled away from her in order not to crush her with his weight and moaned contently.
"Great…Now I'm hungry." She stated and he laughed before he rolled over to smother her face and lips with kisses.
