Ana Maria found Jack slumped on the floor next to the chamber pot (A/N thanks cal!). He was sweating madly and extremely pale. Rushing over to him, she noticed that the vomit he had just sicked (A/N that might not be a word but I'm using It. Don't shoot me!) up had traces of blood in it.

"Oh Jack." Kneeling beside him, she put her hand to his forehead. He was burning up. She tried to pick him up but failed miserably. "Er jest stay there and try not to pass out, I'm going to find Gibbs." Ana hesitantly got up, glancing at Jack one more time she ran out of his cabin, into the galley where the crew were still eating.

"Gibbs er Jack needs yer help." Rolling his eyes Gibbs got up. He wasn't too pleased about his dinner being interrupted but when he saw Jack his annoyance went out the window.

"What happened?" Gibbs eyed Jack who was still slumped on the ground trying not to pass out.

"I dun no. I reckon 't 'as somethin' t' do wit' Summers though." Gibbs nodded. He moved over to lift Jack up and Ana went to help him. Both of them managed to move their captain to his bed, but during that time he had passed out.

"Ana, I know ye wont like this but will ye be his er maid. No that aint the right word. Will ye look afta 'im? Yer the only one other then 'im who knows how t' look afta Th' sick and none of Th' other crew will want' a see 'im in this state. Please. Ye'll get extra swag." Ana Maria grinned and nodded. She would of done this without being asked, but as she had, and there was the offer of extra swag why would she refuse that?!

"O'course I'll do it. Ye needn't of asked, but as ye did and the offer of extra swag was in there I'll accept." Gibbs smirked at her, about to say something back when Jack grounded in his unconsciousness and brought them both back to the real reason behind their conversation.

"Right well I'll leave ye too it. I gott'a go steer this ship. Er ye don't 'append t' know where we're goin' d'ye?" Ana Maria shook her head, then ushered the man out. As he was going he said something about taking the pearl back to Tortuga.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It had been about an hour since Jack passed out and he was only just begging to stir. Ana Maria had gotten board of watching him, so she started to clear up the mess he made in his bathroom. It wasn't a pleasant job and she wouldn't have done it, but as she was getting extra swag for this she thought she would get on with it. And the stench was making her sick.

"Ana?" Ana Maria came out of his bathroom and stood by his bed. She smiled, that smile was full of concern.

"Aye, I'm 'ere Jack. Yer stuck wit' me lookin' after ye till yer better." Jack nodded.

"Aye thought so. Can I 'av a drink." Ana Maria went to his rum cabinet. "Not rum. It'll, it'll afta be water. Rum makes it worse." Ana looked at Jack curiously before walking over to a barrel he kept in his room for her when she didn't want rum. It contained drinking water.

"Rum makes what worse?" she asked while handing over the cup of water. Jack pulled a face as he sipped at the water but carried on drinking it.

"The reaction t' cherries I 'av. can't av 'em. Make me sick. Could kill me if I aint careful." Ana frowned. She was learning a lot of things bout her captain that she didn't know before.

"Oh. What. What's going to start happening to you?" Jack looked at Ana Maria with a pained expression written across his features.

"A lot of things could start t' happen Ana. I could get fever, rashes, I've already had the sickness but there could be more of that t' come, but the one that could kill me the most is if me throat starts t' swell." Ana's hand flew to her mouth in shock. She didn't think an allergic reaction could be so bad.

"Right thanks for the warning... Jack?" Jack, had started breathing fast, j=his face had gone red and sweat was flowing down his face. "Oh god." Ana Maria rushed to his bathroom, and got a bucket, she got back just in time to put it in front of him while he was sick.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

During the first night of the reaction, Jack developed a high fever. Although Ana Maria wasn't religious she found herself praying that he would be all right. Her captain was in a very bad way and all she could do was try and keep him cool. She had told Gibbs about him being allergic to cherries and that was why he was having this reaction, they both started to wonder why the cook had added that ingredients without telling him first. All food aboard the ship that the whole crew had to eat was told to the Captain, and he would say if it was all right or not.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Oye, you. Did Jack know ye 'ad cherries in yer stew?" The cook looked startled and confused at the outburst Gibbs had just come out with.

"It didn't 'av cherries in it. I asked Capt'n but he said no. Someone else must of put them in when I wasn't looking. Summers were with him when he said no. Maybe he knows something." Gibbs nodded. Summers. It would make sense; there was something not right about that man, and the way he acted around Jack.

"I guess I got a summer t' find then. Sorry fer shoutin' at ye." The cook nodded and started to get back to work, and a fuming Gibbs went to find Jacks farther.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ana Maria watched worriedly as Jack's breathing began to get caught up in his throat. She jumped out of the chair she had been sitting in all night and noticed something happening, stopping him from breathing properly.

"Oh no."

Aims: I cant tell you whether Samuel knew that Jack was allergic to cherries or not, that will come later but I have told you that he was with Jack when he said that he didn't like them to the cook, so there's a little clue! Thanks for the review. * Hands over chocolates *

Irish-bird: sorry I didn't put the little note in the last chapter, I hadn't received my review alert so I hadn't realised you had reviewed. Sorry! Anyway thanks for the review, enjoy your kisses and chocolates!

Kungfuchick: I agree Jacks dad is an ass! Thanks for the review. * Hands over chocolates. *

Cal: I had to make Jack better then his dad (he is anyway but appearance is even better!) There is something about his dad, and you'll find out what eventually. Gibbs wants pay back in this chapter but does Jack?? Oh by the way only Jack and Ana Maria know that Samuel is his farther. The crew don't. (I'm not sure if that's in the story or not?!) Thanks for telling me what the toilet was called and the kitchen. You're very helpful. I'm not mean enough to give people what's trying to kill off our dear captain though. That would just be er mean! Lol. Thanks for the review. *Hands over chocolates *
