Extremely sorry for not updating quickly. I've had family problems and some
other personal stuff but I will try 2 update more quickly!
The Black Pearl soared over the navy, foam tipped waves. A blue sky had risen overhead and the day was new, full of promises. Jack leaned over the side, watching the island draw near. He could see the crews of many other ships bustling around, preparing their ship for a long journey.
"Aye, you'll be seeing Miss Swann now would ya?" Gibbs asked.
"O' course! Checking up on her and the baby." He replied while watching the seagulls fly overhead, "You heard about the lass now? Did ya?"
"Aye, purtiest baby in the whole Caribbean," Gibbs replied, "Tis supposed to look a lot like her father."
"Well I'd hope so. A little something for Elizabeth to hold on to from Will I guess. Personally can't wait to see her and Elizabeth. It's been too long since I last saw them now," Jack said sighing, " I hope Elizabeth is at least on speaking terms, but just wait till I show her our raiding treasures. That will surely make up for it."
"Probably Jack. You know women, give 'em a kiss and a present and they're all good to go."
"Aye," said Jack laughing, "But Elizabeth's a feisty one, you can never tell."
"Well, we'll find out soon enough," Gibbs replied grinning.
Elizabeth surveyed the fruits at the market. Testing each one if they were ripe or not, or had the wrong color. She took a slightly bruised but pleasant plum and put it in her wicker basket under her arm. Isabelle was supposed to be taking her nap while being watched by Anne, the maid. So Elizabeth finally had the day to herself.
She hadn't gone out in a while. While she was pregnant she would hide in her room, too embarrassed to show her developing figure. But now she was out in the sun, saying hello to old friends. Going back to old places.
Elizabeth then moved to the corner of the fruit market, under a canvas tent, where it was shady and dark. Right next to the garbage alley. She picked up a kiwi, smelling it and testing it with her hand. She felt a slight touch on her shoulder.
She turned to see a man in a hood covering his face.
"Come on lassie," said the figure, clasping an arm over her mouth.
Elizabeth tried screaming and thrashing wildly but the person, man as she supposed. Was too strong for her.
"Liz, it's me," Jack whispered.
"Jack?" she murmured looking into his eyes, "You came back.."
"Of course I came back, I wouldn't leave ya," he replied.
"Well, it's been nearly a year since you last came back! How could you do that Jack? My father's going to make me marry the Commodore now, and you haven't even met or seen my child."
"I'm sorry Elizabeth, but look here I got a nice necklace for you- "
"I don't really care for necklaces now, or jewelry or anything from you Jack Sparrow! Now if you'll leave me alone I have some shopping to do!"
"Elizabeth! Wait, I'm sorry, can't you at least now introduce me to this young lady or gentleman who I have the privilege of being the godfather of?"
"You're not the godfather of her! I think the Commodore has taken that title!"
"Why, that thieving bastard!"
"Jack!"
"Come on now Elizabeth. Please, I'm sorry," he said eyes melting into hers.
"Fine, come on now," Elizabeth replied leaving the stinking alley, "She should be up from her nap now. Come on. But that's all! You can go and leave on your rotten ship for all I care!" And Jack followed her down the alley, Elizabeth's face turned away, so he couldn't see her tears.
