Chapter 42
"You Let Her Drink?"

I sat on the stairs that lead to the captain's cabin. I held a bottle of rum in my right hand, my elbows resting on my knees. The night air had become chilly against my bare skin. I took a short drink to warm myself up. I wasn't sure how long I had been sitting here, listening to the waves crash against the ship. I felt the slow rocking of the ship. We decided to stay here for a few days to take a rest. In that time I planned to drink myself into oblivion and not come out of it until we were leaving. I took another drink as a string of light flowed through the open door of the cabin.

"Wha ye doin' out 'ere?" Jack asked

"Juss sittin 'ere, thinking bout how much more I'd 'ave to drink to be drunk off me ass." I grinned

"Why would ye want to get drunk off yer ass?" he asked

"It seems like the thing to do, after all were not leavin for a few days."

"Aye, well good idea." He grinned, taking a drink from his own bottle.

We sat in silence for a few minutes, drinking rum and staring out into the night sky.

The sound of small feet on the deck knocked me back into reality and I searched for the source. I found Valencia walking around aimlessly. She walked to stand before us at the bottom of the stairs.

" 'ello, captains!" she grinned

I looked over to Jack and then back to her.

"'ello Val." Jack smiled.

"It's a lovely night isn't it!! I feel like I can fly. Maybe I should try.."

"'ave ye been drinking?" I asked

"Who me??" she asked with a grin, pointing to her chest dramatically. "I wouldn't – um – what are we talking about?"

I let out a laugh as I looked to Jack who happened to be grinning from ear to ear.

"Ye let 'er drink?" I asked through my laughter

"I did no such thing." He said, putting his hands up in defense.

I laughed again and looked back to Valencia who was stumbling around the deck. I watched her eyes light up as she came running over to us.

"OOH I have something.. to ... ..yeah.." she trailed off

A look of confusion ran over my face and I tried to figure out what she was getting at.

She stood before us still at the bottom of the stairs with a wide grin on her face. "I'm a lil teapot short and stout.. Here is mee handle... here... is me spout!" she sang, her hands coming up. "When I get all..."

I watched her eyes go up in thought as she stopped, mid song.

"Crap I can't remember the words!"

I looked to Jack who was now laughing hysterically, I joined him in the laughter, clutching my side that had began to hurt.

"What's so funny?" Valencia questioned, her hands on her hips.

"Nothing." I said through my laughter

"You're laughing at me! That's not...ooh rum!" she grinned, her grubby hand reaching for my bottle.

"Oh, 'ell no. If ye want rum reach yer grubby 'and for Jack's bottle." I said, pulling my bottle protectively into my arms.

I watched her hand shoot up as it tried to grab Jack's bottle. He kept his grip on it as she tried to get it free.

"Ye feelin sum déjà vu Jack?" I questioned with a smirk

He shot a glare over to me and then looked back to Val.

"My bottle, get.. yer own!" he grunted I laughed at his little problem.

"Fine!" she huffed. "I'll just find.. my... own." she pointed to the bottle, obviously lost for words.

"Bottle?" I questioned with a laugh

"Yea that's it!! Thank you!" she yelled as she stumbled down the stairs.

I watched her drunkenly stand on deck, her arms flapping around her in an almost too much like Jack sort of way.

"What was I doing?" she asked, turning on her heel to look at us.

"Ye were about to jump over the rail and into the sea." I smirked

Jack's head snapped to look at me, the smirk planted on my face.

"I was?" Val asked, looking around in confusion. I nodded quickly, hoping to get her to do it.

"No, ye were goin' to go below, to yer cabin, and go to sleep." Jack stated

it was now my turn for my head to snap over to look at Jack as I shot him a glare. "I almost 'ad 'er."

He shrugged. "Can't 'ave 'er drownin' while drunk."

"I would rather be drunk than sober if I were goin' to drown." I stated.

"Yer an evil thing, aren't ye?" he asked with a small grin.

"Aye, I am. I am also damn proud of bein' an evil thing." I stated my chest puffing out with pride as I slurred my words.

I felt Jack scoot closer to me with a playful grin. "I like the evil in ye."

I grinned slightly. When I heard "oof" come from somewhere on deck. I looked to the source where I saw Valencia rubbing her head, standing by the mast.

"Oh scuse me Mr. Pole. I'm sorry to have bumped into you." She slurred.

I shook my head with a laugh as I looked back to Jack. He shook his head slightly and shook his head. I spotted a hint of a glint in his eyes.

"She reminds me of ye." He whispered

"How the 'ell do ye figure that?" I asked, beginning to feel a hint of anger.

"Yer funny when yer drunk to." He grinned.

My jaw dropped as I looked at him, I looked him over. His chocolate brown eyes shinning in the bright moon light.

"I'm no where's near that." I said, pointing dramatically to Val who was now stumbling around mumbling something inaudible to herself.

He nodded slowly. "And there's things that ye and I can do that I could never do wit her."

A small smile began to tug at the corners of my mouth as I thought about what that could be. "What's that?"

I already knew the answer but I asked all the same. He leaned over slowly, kissing my lips softly. I pulled him closer to me, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Oh there will be none of that!" I heard a voice say.

Jack broke the kiss, I opened my eyes and then proceeded to roll them. "Oh fergot, ye 'ave virgin eyes." I commented, looking to Val with a small grin.

"I am not!" she stated, her hands planted firmly on her hips.

I rolled my eyes and rested my head on Jack's shoulder.

"Wha ever ye say, but playin' little scene's over in yer mind doesn't mean yer not a virgin." I stated with a smirk.

I watched a glare come to her eyes as she looked from me to Jack. I waited for her to come back with a smart assed remark. She only threw her hands up. I grinned triumphantly.

"Ye do realize yer gonna 'ave quite a hangover tomorrow." I stated, watching her down the rest of the bottle she had found somewhere.

"I, dunt..." I watched her eyes dance around in her sockets. "Care..." she finally continued, swaying back and forth. I shook my head with a laugh.

"Why don't ye run off to bed now?"

I pulled the bottle that I had been holding protectively in my arms to my lips, taking a long swig, chugging down almost half of it. I felt eyes on me; I pulled the bottle down. I looked from Jack to Val and then back to Jack.

"What ye both never seen a woman chug almost the entire bottle in one swig?" I questioned.

They both grinned and burst out laughing at the same time. I looked back and forth between them feeling completely confused. I shrugged it off as I began to feel the buzz from the sweet liquor.

-- a few hours later --

Jack, Valencia, Gibbs and myself remained on deck, talking about really nothing important. Jack and I were still sitting on the top of the stairway, Gibbs and Val sat on the next step down. We were all to drunk to realize what we were even talking about in the first place.

"Ye know, I wonder how it can be, that the moon is so bright." I stated, covering my eyes slightly.

"It's not bright, now the sun.. The sun is bright.. Probably, the brightest thing on this world." Valencia slurred.

"No, fire is the brightest thing.. in.. tha...world!" Jack slurred, his body moving back and forth, his hands coming up as his fingers danced in the air as he took another swig.

"No it's not Jack.. Ye.. Are.. Wrong, as always." I stated in a long slur. It took me longer to get out that sentence than I had realized.

"I am always utterly.... Right.... ain't I Gibbs?" Jack asked, slapping Gibbs on the shoulder.

"Huh? Wha did ye say?" Gibbs asked, utterly confused.

Jack, Val, and I burst out laughing at Gibbs' not paying attention.

"Ye need to learn to pay attention, mate." Jack stated

"I was, I juss.. fergot wha he said is all." He stated, taking a long drink from the bottle.

The deck grew quiet as we all seemed to have run out of things to say. Until I heard someone singing

"Yo ho yo a pirates life.. fer me!"

I instantly wondered who was singing, but decided I didn't care and joined in.

"We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot, Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho."

I then noticed as Gibbs and Valencia joined in as well. "We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot, Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack" I watched as a few of the crewmembers that had been on shore for the night came stumbling back onto deck, they also began to sing.

By the end of the song almost the entire crew was standing on deck as we all sang the song. "Yo ho yo a pirates life fer me!!!"

At the end of the song we all began to cheer.

I looked to Jack with a grin. "I 'ave come to the conclusion, we all be crazy."

He nodded slowly. "Aye, I'm beginning to believe that as true."

We all sat on the deck, men leaving one by one to go to bed. Only about 8 members of the crew remained on deck when I looked over to Jack, his eyes were beginning to droop. His headed bobbed up and down as his head began to get heavy.

"Come on Jack time fer bed." I whispered into his ear.

"not quiet yet." he stated

"Right now."

"Oh are we goin' to 'ave some fun?" he grinned.

"I guess yer never to tired for that.." I slurred as I looked at him.

He stood, grabbing my hand and pulling me up wit him.

"Well then, good night me faithful crew. Right now me and m'lady are gonna go.." he slurred as he stopped to think of his next words, his eyes went up in thought as he drew a blank. "Oh screw it.... that's it! We're goin' to go screw." He stated with a cheeky grin, his arms swaying about around him.

"JACK!" I yelled, feeling the embarrassment taking over me. The men all began to give catcalls and woof noises at us.

"Come, luv. Time to go." He said, dragging me to the cabin door.

He stopped and looked at me with a grin. He put his hands on my hips as he leaned over and softly kissed me. he finally opened the door pulling me inside, never breaking our embrace. I pushed the door closed with my right hand. I pulled away for a second, Jack's eyes were still closed, his lips still puckered. I looked at him and gave him a small grin as his eyes shot open.

"If ye ever say anything like that to the men again..." I began

Before I could finish what I was going to say his warm inviting lips crushed against mine.
