It had only been a few days since Jack had left Ana Maria on the island with Cathy, but already he was missing her, even if he wouldn't admit it to anyone not even himself. Will was the one that noticed it the most; the change in the captain was obvious to everyone. He was more irritable as he wasn't getting as much sleep knowing something was missing. His chest was begging to recover but he felt weird knowing that he hadn't been used a punch bag and that the mattress she slept on in the house she was in, would have been his replacement. Only it wouldn't have bruises to show for it.
What he had said to her before he left was proving difficult for him. ' I'll be back before you know it'. Half of him wanted to turn back and stay with her for the next 5 months, but he knew he wouldn't be able to stay on land for that long and not get restless to get back to sea. One or two months he could just about handle but 5 was out of the question and they both new that. Another reason found itself in his mind that he didn't want to leave Ana for.
She was at the same stage that she left her son at...
Jack sighed as he looked over the map he had been keeping for a while. He had lied to Ana when he said that he'd been waiting till she was safe until going for the treasure, it was really an excuse to leave quickly know that the longer he stayed the harder it would be to say goodbye again.
"Jack?" Jack raised his eyes long enough to see Will enter the cabin.
"What?"
"Are you ok?" Jack avoided the question.
"How about you, are you fine? I mean being away from Cathy..." Will's cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
"There isn't anything going on between me and Cathy. I mean Elizabeth has only been gone from me for 6 months that's hardly enough time to forget my feelings for her and..." Will stopped as memories flooded into his mind, making Jack feel guilty for bringing down part of the barrier Will had put up to take away the thoughts of the women. "Me and Cathy are just good friends." Jack grinned. At one point that's all he had said of him and Ana Maria, before either of them had buckled up and admitted their feelings.
"Of course ye are whelp. That's what I'd said... d'ye still think 'bout 'er?" Will looked up at Jack.
"Who Elizabeth?" Jack shook his head.
"Your baby." Will looked at Jack.
"Everyday." Both pirates were silent as they went back into their own worlds of thoughts and memories.

"And so he said that to me, and I thought 'the cheek!' men they don't know what us women go through!" Ester looked up as Ana Maria walked through the shop door. "Oh hello love, how are you today? Settling in?" Ana smiled. Everyone had been kind and welcoming to her, since she had arrived.
Not long after Jack had left, she had got an invitation for her and Cathy to go to someone's house for a baby shower. They had them a week before the due date and if your baby was born early they had it one week after the birth. Already she had made friends, people being very helpful especially the lady that owned the small shop.
"I'm fine thanks Ester." She raised her eyebrows at the women.
"And are you coping fine without your pillow." Ana laughed. Ester had been the only one she had talked to really. She felt as though she accepted who she was and wasn't being nice to her just because she was new like everyone else. Ester had told her that they often took a while to fully accept newbies and that once she'd been there a while and kept going out and about socializing then she'd be fine and loved like everyone else.
"I'm getting there. It's only been 3 nights so its still weird I guess." Ester smiled sympathetically.
"Where's Cathy today then."
"She's still talking to Doctor Green. Seems they knew each other long before now." Esters eyes went wide.
"Oh yes it was your check up today love wasn't it. All go well, no complications as of yet – if any."
"Nope all healthy." Ester smiled, then remembered about the lady she had been talking to, who was still standing there, patiently smiling, holding a tiny baby in her arms.
"Oh, Heather meet Ana Maria, she's arrived about 4 days ago, still settling in. Heather's just had her little boy." Ana smiled.
"Would you like to hold him? He wont bite, he might dribble but he wont bite."
"Erm..."
"Go on love. It's a good way to start practicing. On everyone else's babies. But then again it makes you want your own to hold." Heather placed her baby in Ana's arm and the female couldn't help but smile as he opened his eyes to her.
"What's his name?"
"Harry, after his dad. He died before I even knew I was pregnant. I'm staying here now. Don't think I want to be anywhere else." Easter smiled at the women, but Ana just kept her eyes fixed on the little boy, holding him brought back memories of holding her son, only he was a lot smaller and instead of being warm was cold. Soon tears came to her eyes and she had to hand him back to his mother as both Ester and Heather went to see what was wrong with her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ana had ended up telling them the jest of the story about her little boy, not all of the details just enough to satisfy them and have them understand why she burst into tears over the little lad.
Over the next couple of days, she found her self-being around Ester and Heather a lot more then she was with Cathy who was forever helping out the doctor. Ana made friends as she went along, finding that the after a week people were a lot more comfortable talking to her, sharing the gossip and even comparing bump sizes!
The only downside to all this was that Ana felt a longing... not only for her baby but for Jack as well...
