Ebony- Thanks for the rum, lol!
Nicole297- Did you read the disclaimer of chapter 3? Tee-hee, I love Porthos, I just had to put
him in!
Everyone, thanks again for reviewing, it means a lot. I was a little afraid to put this up at first
because I wasn't sure if anyone would think it's good or not. THANK YOU! Drinks all around! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up to the sound of some kind of commotion on deck. People were running
back and fourth yelling about a ship. You roll out of your bunk, stretch, and run out onto the
deck.
"What's going on?" You ask Jack who was still at the helm. You wondered if he had
slept at all last night.
"The Pearl's in sight, Jack answered nodding toward the Black Pearl not so far away.
"I'm going to get me ship back. Ye better get below deck, luv, Savvy?"
"No, Jack," You replied and Jack looked at you curiously, "I'm coming with you."
"I won't have ye fighting me battles! Now, do as I say and get to safety. Don't worry,
Elizabeth'll keep ye company!" Jack insisted but you stood stubbornly still on deck.
Jack sighed and picked you up, slung you over his shoulder and carried you below deck.
"Jack! Put me down!" You shriek, kicking and struggling against him, but to no avail.
Jack drops you on the ground after carrying you down the steps. You attempted to follow him
back up, but he was too quick for you. He slammed the door and you heard him lock it.
"Why is it that men seem to think women can't fight?" You hear a voice behind you. You
turn to see Elizabeth sitting on a bench. Apparently Will had made her stay below deck as
well.
"You got me there!" You muttered as you walked back down the stair, sat next to
Elizabeth, and sighed. "I just hope he doesn't get hurt."
"What exactly happened between you and Jack? I mean, if you don't mind me asking..."
Elizabeth inquired.
You smile at her and say, "No, I don't mind."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback Your POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You and Jack had now been married for nearly a year. You had adjusted your life to
living on a ship, which wasn't so bad, quite nice actually. You weren't born into being a pirate,
but you were a quick learner, and were able to help out with ship work. Jack couldn't have
been more proud of you.
You did, however, get the sneaking suspicion that Jack had been having a bit of trouble
adjusting to married life.
You knew that gossip is gossip, but every time you and Jack went to Tortuga and hear
the prostitutes giggling and giving him overly affectionate 'Why, hello, Jacks' you couldn't
help but feel suspicious and jealous at the same time.
One night you were out looking for him. You had lost track of Jack when you had visited
your friend Anamaria (yeah, yeah) and he had told you he would wait for you in the bar. The
question was which one?
After walking into bar after bar after bar you decided you would take a peek in one last
bar before giving up and going back to the ship. You walked in and saw Jack in and saw Jack,
but he wasn't alone. Sitting far too close to your husband was a blonde prostitute, who you
didn't know personally but knew of her. Her name was Trixie, and she had quite a thing for
pirates, particularly captains. You then saw them kiss.
"Jack!" You gasped; Jack looked over at you, eyes wide, a guilty expression on his face.
You stood there for a moment as Jack stood up out of his seat. Trixie acted as if she had no
idea what was going on, but she knew. Oh yes, she knew. Therefore, you attacked.
You ran up to Trixie and yanked her out of her chair by her hair and onto the floor. You
grabbed Jack's rum bottle and threw it down at her, unfortunately you missed her by, like,
and inch. Glass shattered all over the place, bits of glass cut into Trixie's face and arm. She
attempted to get up, but you punched her, and she fell back down into the broken glass.
You then stormed out of the bar, furious, with burning hot tears in your eyes.
"Wait, luv, it wasn't what ye thought!" Hack ran up behind you and grabbed your arm.
"Let go, Jack," you growled, not looking at him.
"No, luv, I can't" Jack said, his grip on your arm was firm, and though you tried to pull
away from him, you couldn't seem to break his grip. Finally, you whirled around and with all
your might you smacked Jack across the face. His head snapped back and he let go of your
arm, touching his cheek where you had smacked him.
"I told you pirates don't get married, and for good reason too!" You shouted at him,
yanking your wedding ring off your finger and throwing it at him. It hit his chest and fell down
to the ground at his feet. You ran as fast as you could away from him.
You stayed with Anamaria that night, and many more to follow. It would be months until
you ran into Jack again. Every time you saw him he would tell you he was sorry and that he
loved you.
Except this time.

"Jack had a hard time adjusting to married life," You simply told Elizabeth. "Luckily,
though, we have been able to remain good friends."
"That is good," Elizabeth nodded in agreement, but for some reason you could tell that
she doubted you.
You weren't sure how long you and Elizabeth had been trapped down there, but you
were getting restless and were worrying about Jack.
"I gotta find a way out of here," You said standing up and walking around the room
desperately.
"WE'VE got to find a way out of here," Elizabeth corrected you.
"But, Elizabeth, what about the baby?" You asked her in surprise.
"Don't you start telling me what to do, too!" Elizabeth snapped at you.
"Okay! okay! Then help me move this barrel." You said gesturing to a barrel and nodding
up at a small window you spotted that lead up to the deck.
It was a bit out of reach, and a bit small, but you were sure that both you and Elizabeth
could fit through it.
