And now, on with the show!-Be prepared, this one is a little more serious than the last.
Chapter 8- More Discussions
I sat in my room and thought about the day that had just passed me by. Despite the fact that the only thing I wanted to do was stay home and hope that Jack wouldn't bother me, it was a pretty good day. Heck, any day that I get a free dagger was a good day.
But the way he had it made, with the bronze and the silver intertwined and my initials on the blade. Most of all, the beautiful bird escaping into the sunset. It was so touching. Nobody, especially a man, had ever had her something specially made. I had scribbled all these thoughts onto a new journal page and stashed away the journal quickly.
The door slowly creaked open, interrupting my thoughts. Elizabeth popped into the room. Her eyes were red and tears were stained on her doll like face. Her hair was frizzy and a mess; not to mention she was biting a single fingernail.
I was shocked at her appearance; she was normally well kept.
"Liz! What's wrong?!"
A new set of tears formed in her sad eyes and she sighed painfully.
"I think.I think."
Will was sharpening a sword in the room that used to be his and Elizabeth's. Yes, he was a pirate, but he still obtained all the skills needed to work in a smithy.
Jack walked into the room with a slight smile on his face. Will looked up at him instantly, but couldn't help being a little suspicious and curious.
"So.Jack! What happened today with you and Juniper?"
"Well, I'll tell ya, lad." He said excitedly, just as he went to sit down. "I took her into town and took a look at her dagger. It was all rusted and not sharp anymore, so I decided I would buy her a new one." Jack leaned back in his chair, quite satisfied with himself.
Will sat there just staring at him. "And.?"
"And what?"
"What else?"
"Well.I tried putting me arm around her shoulder but she wouldn't stand for that."
"I don't blame her." Will muttered to himself.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Well, lad, what else do I do?"
"Jack, I can't keep giving you advice! You have to figure this out by yourself!"
"Hey!!" Jack shouted to him. "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even have your bonny lass!"
"And if it wasn't for me, you would have received a short drop and a sudden stop in the gallows!!"
Jack was completely frustrated with him, but he still needed help. And Will was right; he would've been killed if it weren't for him.
"Fine, Will.just.please help me?"
Will looked at him and couldn't help but feel sorry for the older man. "Fine, Jack, I will help you."
I looked at her with nervous eyes.
"Liz, what is it?"
"I think I'm pregnant." She said, biting her bottom lip.
I was instantly relieved and silently cursed her for scaring me so much.
"Well, then why are you crying? That's wonderful!"
"Because, think Juniper! I don't even know if Will wants a baby, let alone Jack who can't stand screaming children.forget children, screaming ANYTHING! They're going to make me kill it, first chance!"
"WOAH! Liz, calm down! I'm sure Will can't wait to be a father, and Jack.well, Jack will just have to deal with it! Have you talked to either of them?"
"No, are you kidding? They would bite my head off!"
"You don't know that, come on!" I pulled her arm and we both went to see Will and Jack.
Will and Jack were in deep conversation about the next thing that he could do for Juniper. Will had many ideas, but Jack refused all but one.
The door burst open, and in walked two figures.
"Come on, Liz, tell them exactly what you told me."
I nudged her shoulder reassuringly, but she wouldn't talk.
"I can't."
"Liz.do it."
"FINE!...Will.I'm.pregnant."
Will's mouth went agape and all blood left his face. But soon, his dashing smile returned.
"Honey.that's wonderful!!" He got up instantly to hug his wife.
I looked to Jack, who's mouth was also agape and the blood was also gone from his face, but unlike Will, didn't return to his normal state until I jabbed him in the ribs.
He returned instantly, then looked at me and muttered, "Bloody women.always getting pregnant when they shouldn't."
"Oh, so you think this is Liz's fault??"
"Well, who told her to.go all the way on MY ship?!"
"SHE'S A MARRIED WOMAN JACK!"
"She should still get my permission first."
"YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE!" I said, throwing my arms in the air before leaving.
Unfortunately, Jack decided to follow me.
"Why are ye always yellin' at me, lass?"
"Because, Jack, you frustrate me!"
"I frustrate you!!" He yelled back at me. "I frustrate you?! You're the one who wants me to change everything on this ship!"
"Everything?! I highly disagree, Mr. Sparrow!"
Jack was taken aback by what I had just said. "So this is the way it's going to be now? Back to last name terms?"
"You're the captain, Mr. Sparrow. It's however you want it to be."
With that, I walked back to my cabin, upset that Jack and I couldn't stand a day without a fight.
