[Would you believe, I've never had a boyfriend, never been kissed, never had a boy say that I'm pretty or anything of that subject and never been in any kind of relationship with the opposite sex? Except friendship, but that doesn't really count. Okay, raise your hands if you don't believe me! I wouldn't believe me if I were someone else. has hand up Let me see ya'lls votes! My youth camp is in two weeks so I need to hurry up and finish this story by then so I don't have to worry about it while I'm at camp so I hope that ya'll don't mind me writing this really fast. Not that the quality will be bad or it will have less chapters, but it needs to be written in a hurry.]

AnaMaria and Gibbs helped us load the Pearl with our things, and gave us a bit of their supplies as well.

"I only hope that we could go with you," Gibbs commented before we said goodbye.

'Why? So your wife can knife my husband during the night?' I thought. Jack was thinking the same thing.

"Well, yes, Gibbs, it is too bad. Now, you take care of that baby and we'll be back soon." Jack pushed Gibbs off of the ship and moved the boarding plank.

Walking up to me, he took my wrist and led me to the helm. "Now, your first lesson in running a ship is the helm. Say it with me, he-"

"Jack, I know how to say it. Just tell me what to do."

He smirked. "Well, seein' as how I can take liberties with you that other men can't, I'll show you." He got behind me and took my hands. He placed them on the helm and snuggled up against me.

I sighed. "Jack, are we here to work the helm, or to work up a frenzy?" I elbowed him in the stomach.

"Oww. Okay, fine. Turning it to the right makes it go right and left makes it go left. Got it?" He rubbed his stomach and whimpered. "Try it."

I swerved the helm to the right. The ship turned a sharp edge that made me fall over.

"Amanda! Not that far!" He saved the ship from hitting the cliffs. He guided it until we were out in the open ocean.

I looked up at him from the deck. "Well?"

He didn't look at me. "Well what?"

"Well, aren't you going to help me up?"

"No." I gave him "the look." He looked down at me and laughed, but offered his hand anyway. After I took it, he pulled me up, turned me around and spanked me.

"Yeow! What was that for?"

"For elbowing me in the stomach." He flipped me around again and planted a kiss on my lips. "Now, try the helm again." I put my hands on the wooden handles and slowly turned to the left. The Pearl turned lightly.

Jack smiled. "Very good. Now for your next lesson. Swordplay." He tossed me a sword which I promptly caught and twirled around for a second, ending with sliding it in my belt. Jack pitched his sword back onto the deck. "Never mind."

.

Since we couldn't sleep and run the ship at the same time, Jack dropped the anchors and locked the sails so it wouldn't run off during the night. We walked into our cabin after doing so and he collapsed on the bed. I went to the wardrobe and took out my nightclothes.

Jack groaned. "How do you have the energy to change your clothes?" I glanced at him and continued taking my belt off. "What's wrong with the clothes you have on?"

"They're dirty, and unlike you, I don't like to get the bed sheets filthy with dirt." I changed my shirt to one of Jack's undershirts and put on a pair of bloomers.

"I don't mind it. Why should you?"

I didn't answer. He lifted the sheets for me to get in and tucked them under me after I lay down.

I propped my head up with my arm and looked out the cabin's windows. "I wish that our babies were here."

"Remember, Sarah and Peter are 14 now. They're not babies anymore."

"And Kimmi is 12. They're growing up so fast."

He slid his arm around my waist and pulled me to him. "We'll get them back, Amanda. You have my word."

[Okay, I've got a good bad guy, but he doesn't really have a good motive. I'm working on it though.]
