Chapter 29:
A/N: Lots of reviews! I love you guys! Oh and I know my spelling and grammar are not the best but I have been getting better with it, and yes I do use Microsoft word but when it doesn't even know that a word such as "weaved" exists and on dictionary.com there are like 3 definitions for it, then that tells you something. Well I will try my best to fix any that you point out, now enough chatter heres the story!

Cat made her way down to the galley pulling her tangled locks back with her black bandana. She threw open the door as she entered the small dinning area and greeted Gibbs, who had started to make food for everyone, warmly. "Ello' Gibbs!"
"What's gotten into you, girl?" He asked as he was granted a big hug.
"Gibbs am I pretty?" Cat backed up and looked at him with a questionable poise.
His answer was stimulated by the anger in her eyes rising, "Well yeah, course you are! What's all this about? Some bloke on this ship says otherwise? I'll show him who's the boss!"
Cat smiled gravely, "No, no one said anything. I was merely curious what you thought. Am I childish? I mean, not as in just acting like a little girl but do people see me as a little girl? It just seems like they do. You know what, forget I ever said it. Everything is just fine, everything is," Cat turned around and almost hit into Will, "okay."
She starred up at his big elegant brown eyes and bit her lip wanting nothing more then to be Elizabeth at that moment. At least then she could have what she wanted, him.
"Can I talk to you?" He never changed his gaze; he was perfectly fixed on her.
She lowered her eyes and pointed to the door, "yeah sure." William turned and walked out of the galley; Cat followed him solemnly. They walked into a small cabin not far from the stairway and began their discussion.
"Listen Will, I don't want to argue and I don't want to vent. I just want to say that you have Elizabeth and from what I hear there will be a new addition to the family soon and you need to protect them because you never know when an accident will occur. You need to watch them, be aware of the dangers."
"I don't want to talk about them. I want to talk about us, what has happened here? We have done nothing wrong but yet I feel so guilty."
"As you should! You have a wife and an unborn child! We shouldn't even be having this conversation! Look Will you have a life, you have something to hold onto. All I have is Salina and I'm quite fine with that. You know why? Because that is the life I chose and I love it."
"So what? You would take back our ever meeting if possible?"
"If possible, maybe. Will I don't want to interfere with your life, you have a lot going for you and this can not be!"
"You already have interfered with my life, it's too late to say that you haven't. I know it's not right and I know that I will stay with Elizabeth."
"Good! It's settled then!" Cat pulled on the door to open it but Will slammed it shut. She clenched her eyes closed trying her best to keep her anger hidden.
"But it will eat me up to know that I left you alone after teasing you so badly with something that I knew you could never have."
"Then stop teasing and let me leave!" Cat yanked the door open and ran up the stairs onto the deck, her eyes were full of furry and yet tons of sorrow.

Gibbs and Ana, who had been preparing the food for some time now, poked their heads out of the galley and watched Cat explode in a rampage up the steps. "What was that all about?"
Gibbs shrugged his shoulders, "Your guess is as good as mine. But I think our little Miss Catalina has fallen for the newly wed Turner."
"Ah, I see." They both retreated back to the kitchen to finish making the meal. "What if Elizabeth was to find out?"
"I'd rather not think of what she might do. That lass packs a punch, she does." Gibbs started mixing a batter as Ana went back to peeling the potatoes.

Cat walked into Sparrow's room and stood frozen in the doorway, "Salina! You're up!" She dashed to her side gripping her hands with happiness.
"She's been up for about ten minutes now." Elizabeth appeared from a corner chair and walked over to the bed.
Cat looked up at her a little overwhelmed by her presence, "Does Sparrow know?"
"No, he's been off in his little trance ever since we left Barbossa and his crew. I figured it would be wrong of me to tell him now."
"Trance?"
"You know, the state of mind he enters when he's up at that blasted helm," Salina cut in.
"I'm so glad that you're alive," Cat hugged her tightly.
"Alive yes, okay? No. Ouch, watch my side! It's still really painful! Beth stitched it up but I have lost a considerable amount of blood and I need a doctor badly! Ow! Cat watch it your pulling my hair!" Salina laid back in the bed and pulled the covers up to her chin.
The two women curled up beside Salina and they talked for hours about past things they had done together. "And remember the time when Smith jumped out of the water basin and scolded me for scaring the crap out of him!" The three women laughed at the memory.
"I love you two so much; I would never trade anything in the world for you guys. Don't ever let anything come between you, do you understand? No money, jewels, guys, horses, crowns, royalty, anything! You two are too perfect to hate each other over something like that! Now go on, I'm tired and I want my sleep!"
Cat and Beth smiled and left the room on a happy note, but once on deck a grim thought gathered in the air. "Cat do you think she'll make it to a doctor? Do you think we can get her there in time?"
"I wouldn't worry about it Elizabeth, Salina is a strong broad and that's for sure. She can handle anything, don't worry she'll live."
"Thanks, I don't know what I'd do if I lost her now. I only just got to see her again after 14 years. I don't want to loose her forever now."
"You won't, she'll live." Cat smiled and allowed Beth to hug her for comfort. This was strange to Cat, how one minute Elizabeth could be ready to kill her but then when an accident happens she's her comfort.
Jack stood up at the helm watching the two lasses from above, "Oy! You two! What, do you think work on this ship doesn't pertain to you? Get your arses to work or it's off the ship you go!"
Elizabeth turned to face the infamous Captain, "We're terribly sorry your holiness, we did not realize we had offended you by our joyous agreements, what ever may we do to please you?" Elizabeth gave a little bow trying her best to mock Jack.
"Well you can start by fetching me another bottle of rum this ones empty!"
"As you wish!" Cat walked back into Jack's cabin and grabbed another bottle from him stash in the linen closet. She walked out shutting the door quietly and then yelling up to Sparrow, "Ere's your rum!" she chucked it up on deck and the bottle crashed on the floor at his feet. "Oops, I'm very sorry!" She waved to him as her and Beth walked away.
"This stuff is very hard to come by!" He shouted at them picking up the shards of glass from the floor.
"No it isn't I saw a merchant vessel not too far back carrying crates of it!" Elizabeth retorted.
"Well if it was, you'd be walking the plank right now!"
"right, right, sure," the girls said halfheartedly.
"I think I better go help Gibbs and Ana-Maria with the food, don't want it hard as bricks, now do we?" Elizabeth voiced aloud.
"No I suppose not, I'll keep an eye on Salina while you're down there."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, don't worry. Just go ahead."
"Thanks," Beth walked back across the deck and down the stairwell to the galley.

Cat opened the door to the cabin and stepped in looking at a sleeping Salina. She was so peaceful and quiet when she slept; Cat pulled a chair up next to the bed and watched her in silence before falling asleep herself.
Cat awoke to Sparrows inconsiderate shaking, "Yes? Yes, I'm awake."
"I'll take over the watch now, you get yourself some rest."
"Yes sir," Cat pulled herself from the seat and cracked her back as she walked out of the room.
Jack waited until Cat was gone before lying down in the bed next to Salina. He kissed her forehead and then weaved his fingers through hers before letting himself drift off into a dream.
