Disclaimer: I don't own anything from pirates of the Caribbean.
A/N Sorry it took me longer then usual to get this up. Brothers been home at the weekend and wouldn't get his bum off, Ok, I didn't want Jack to die and found out from my mum (who happens to be a nurse) that the only way for Jack to survive what happens to him was something that I don't think was around then. Does that make sense? Well I made something up so please don't flame me for it. I didn't want to change what happened though. Ah well I've explained now so yeah. Anyway thanks for the reviews, enjoy...

Jack's throat was beginning to swell up. He was awake and had started to panic. If this had been another time and in a different situation Ana Maria would of found it funny watching her captain panic but she found herself doing the same. What reduces swelling? Ice? No.
"Jack, what will reduce this? There has to be something." Jack tried to talk, but with his difficult breathing he found it hard.
"It...has to...be...lemon or...orange...juice...that's... the only thing... that can... reduce... it... a little... if... there's... enough for... me to... breath... I'll be ok... and it... will go... down... on its... own. Hopefully." Jack stopped, panting. Ana Maria racked her mind to think back to ordering any oranges or lemons in the supplies. There had only been about a dozen and knowing their luck they had already been eaten or used. She ran out of his cabin and down into the galley.
"NO don't."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The startled cook looked up, to see Ana lugging at him. He dropped the oranges he was about to cut up on the floor.
"What did ye do that fer?"
"Er Capt'n needs these. And this" Ana took the knife from out of his hand and picked 3 of the oranges up from the floor, then she rushed back to Jack praying to whoever's out there that he hadn't given up trying to breath.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack was exhausted he hadn't given up, although he looked like he wanted to. He opened his mouth to let Ana Maria squeeze the juice into him. Her hands were shaking and he was trying hard to not let Jack know how worried she was. If he could see himself he would probably want to die. His eyes were red and puffy, his face and neck bloated, which made them, look to big for the rest of his body. All in all he looked bad.
"Jack jest, jest hang on. Don't give up on me. Ye still owe me a ship and a story so ye aren't aloud to die." Jack didn't answer he just continued to concentrate of breathing.
It took about 3 hours before Jack could relax, and let himself rest. The swelling on his throat and face had gone down enough to let him breath easier, but Ana Maria still sat on the edge of her chair, still scared something else was going to happen that could take him away from her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
For the next 2 days Jacks swelling went down but now he had rashes all over his body and was still above normal temperature. Ana Maria had stopped worrying so much; Jack had begun to get back to his old self, and had started to insist he have rum instead of water, as he was far too sober.
"Ana Maria, I am your Captain and I order you to get me a rum." Ana Maria smirked.
"Ye want it so much, get it yer self." Jack glared at her, trying to scare her into getting it for him, only he was succeeding in making her laugh.
"Now 'ats not fair. Ye wont let me get up. Whenever I try ye sit on me." Ana Maria laughed out loud at this. It was true Jack had tried to get up about 3 times before and hadn't listened to Ana Maria telling him he was too weak, the first time he fell out of bed, and the other two times she had sat on him to stop him from getting up.
"Ah well, ye'll jest afta stick t' water then wont ye."
"Huh!" Jack began to twiddle his thumbs to show Ana Maria that he was bored.
"Jack." He didn't look at her just kept staring straight ahead still twiddle ling.
"Humm"
"Can you tell me the story now?" Jack closed his eyes and swallowed.
"Alright. Now or never ey." Jack took a deep breath and motioned for Ana Maria to come over and sit on the bed beside him.
"Ok it started when I was little..."
