Chapter 16-Tearjerking moments

More reviews!

I'm over 50 reviews people! So congrats to me and thank you for all your awesome reviews!!

Guava Boat-*sighs* Once again, I'm sorry I decided to name my character Juniper, but would people just lay off the name and read the actual story that I've taken time to write! I mean, honestly, just because I liked a name and you people don't does NOT mean the story is infected with the plague!

And for those of you wanting to criticize Juniper's name, she was named after Juniper in Benny and Joon, a movie with Johnny Depp that I absolutely love. So, like Guava Boat claims, I did NOT name her after a 'fecking shrub' but after one of my favorite movie characters. And I'm sorry if you hate the name, but no matter what you say, her name and my story stays.

PED-Sarah-I know, exactly and I'll clear up Juniper's feelings about Jack being with other women in this chappie! And of course you can have a lock of Jack's hair, and my thoughts are either frame it and hang it on your wall, or wear it around everyday so you always have a little reminder of him. Awww, lol.

AbbieNormal182-Here you are again with another great review! Yes, he was rather tactless, but I needed a story line, lol. And yes, you just gotta love that man, no matter who you are.

Allison-Thank you so much! And yes, please continue reading and reviewing!

Captainsparrowsfeistylass-I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, your review made me laugh hysterically. Don't worry, you'll see what happens!

LadyKaGoMe-Yeah, Jack is like that, but I'll update soon!

LadyKaGoMe-*2nd review* Awww! Honestly? A lot of people said that they were actually crying! I can't believe it!

LadyKaGoMe-*3rd review lol* Yup, she had to drop the rum and Jack had to act like that.AGAIN, but theres a good outcome!

Angie-Lol, sorry, I write constantly every day so I get my chapters up pretty quick. And yes, Will may seem like a romantic, but I needed a little humor to lighten the mood lol. Thanks for the awesome review! *All my reviewers *besides Guava Boat* get their own...PIRATE MEDALLION! *Different ones, they aren't cursed this time lol**

And now, on with the show! Erm, story, rather.

"Juniper, please!" Jack said, running after me. I ignored him and only walked faster. Too bad Jack was faster than me.
He quickly swerved in front of me and grabbed my shoulders.
"Listen to me. I'm sorry ye had to see that, but that was my old life. When all that mattered to me was rum and sleeping with all the women I could find. Please, love. The only things that matter to me now are ye and the sea. And ye know why?" He stopped and brushed a strand of hair out of my face. "Because to me, ye both represent freedom. And that's what I love, ye savvy?"
I shivered and nodded, wiping away all the tears that had gathered in my eyes. I hugged him close to me and he 'shh'ed me and rubbed my back. I wiped my tears off on his vest and looked up at him.
"No more paying for women?"
"The only woman I would ever pay for is you, and that's impossible, because ye are priceless."
My grin magnified about 100 times and I started to laugh, squeezing him tighter.
"Erm, sorry to interrupt this perfect, tear jerking moment, but I believe we have a ship to get back to and rum to carry!" Will shouted over to us. Jack grabbed his arm around my waist and we walked over to the heavy rum barrels to lift them again.
Another strumpet, red haired and in a dark green velvet dress started walking over to Jack, but I shot her a glance that could kill, and she started walking to another man, one she had better chances with.
As we walked back to the Pearl, I had to tell Jack something. I had to get it off my chest and come clean with him.
"Umm...Jack? Remember when I said pirates can't love?"
"Aye, I do, love."
"Well, I was wrong." I placed the barrel on the deck of the Pearl. "Because...I think I love you."
Will walked past us onto the Pearl and Jack stared at me speechless. Gibbs ran over to look at us from the top deck and shouted down to us, "Jack! Juniper, come on! It's going to rain!!" (A/N: See a pattern here? I like rain in my love stories lol)
As little drizzles fell from the sky, Jack looked deep into my eyes and grabbed my hands. "I love ye too, lass."
He kissed me softly and when we parted, he let go of one hand and led me up the ladder leading to the Pearl. ~*~*~*~
I sat down on the deck, looking out into the endless sea again. Liz came up behind me and muttered a 'hello'.
"Hi, Elizabeth."
"Are you alright?"
I sighed, and then I laughed a little. "Not alright...terrific. I'm in love."
"Oh, great!" She exclaimed. "With who?"
I felt like slapping her upside the head for being so thick-headed, but restrained myself. "With Jack!!"
"Really? Oh, that's great, Juniper! I told you you'd find someone!"
"Yeah, it feels great. How's the baby?"
She patted her now a little larger belly. "Good."
"Have you thought of names?"
"Not yet, but we will."
I smiled and once again stared out into the sea. Things were actually looking up and for once I was happy.

A/N: I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but believe me, it's NOT over! By the time it ends, Liz will have had her baby and more stuff will happen between Juniper and Jack, so stay tuned!
