Cathy walked into the room to find Ana hunched over like she had been a couple of months ago after Jack and Ana had an argument. Jack was standing beside her, a worried look on his face and unsure of what to do. Rushing over to her, Cathy dropped the books she had been carrying onto the floor when Ana cried out in pain. She was breathing very fast like she was having a panic attack, and tears were coming from her eyes and splashing onto her cheeks as she grew more confused.

"Ana, you have to calm down." Ana didn't seem to hear what she said though as she shook her head, her breathing growing more rapid by the second, and as well as tears streaming down her face sweat was too.

"I... I can't be... I'm only 7 months... its not time..." Jack stood by the two women completely unsure of what to do to help. He felt like a spare part, or a spectator at some show.

"Jack help me get her in the bedroom. And say something to her- anything that might calm her down." Jack stayed silent not knowing what to say at all. How was he supposed to know how to calm her down? He was a man... he didn't think of those sorts of things.

Helping Ana through to the bedroom wasn't the hardest part of their task, getting her to calm down was.

"Ana, you've had these false contractions before remember. It's triggered by stress. Try and calm down, nothings going to happen." Jack sat down next to Ana, still not saying a word; he gently began to rub the small of her back.

Exhausted from the recent panic attack she had just experienced, Ana lent onto Jack, putting all her body weight onto him, making him quite uncomfortable. Moving so that they both could be comfy, Jack kissed the top of her head, still rubbing her back. Closing her eyes, Ana's breathing returned to normal as she fell into a deep sleep.

Helping Jack lie Ana down on her back, Cathy turned to Jack looking at him as if to say 'what did you do to her?' when Jack still didn't say anything she asked out loud.

"What made her go into the panic attack making her think she was going in to labor?" Jack looked down at her, avoiding Cathy's piercing gaze.

"She got angry at me when I said I was only staying a couple of days. She said- well it doesn't matter what she said to me, but she got angry that's what set it off." Cathy shook her head, sighing.

"I don't know what's going on with her. Whenever I'm around she seems to have a go at me." Jack looked at Cathy.

"Aye, but isn't that because you're supposed to be here with her to look out for her, instead you're always off helping out that doctor lady." Cathy shot Jack another piercing look.

"She has friends here, she doesn't need me 24 hours. And helping out the doctor who is also one of my oldest friends gives me something to do. Unlike a lot of the women here I am not pregnant, so I don't get involved like her." With that Cathy turned and stormed out of the room, a few seconds later Jack heard her door slam so hard it shook the place, which consequently woke Ana up again.

Stroking her hair, Jack whispered to her telling her to go back to sleep. Her reply made him smile as he obeyed her wishes and climbed in beside her.

Both Heather and Ester were round checking up on Ana the next day, bringing 'hope your ok' messages with them from the other women. News spread fast throughout them all, Ana had noticed. She didn't realize anyone but her; jack and Cathy knew about her little attack. The others didn't know the details like why she had but they liked to know when one of their friends was un-well.

"Cathy helped you, you say? You mean she was round long enough?" Jack's ears perked up. So far he had just been sitting there in his own little world making patterns along Ana's back not really listening to the conversation going on before him.

"Yeah. It was like the first time she'd been back so early. I don't see the point of her being here at all, she's never with me." Ester opened her mouth to reply but Jack said something before she could.

"She feels left out." Ana turned to look at him.

"How can she feel left out? She's never around to BE left out." Jack sighed and let his hand drop from Ana's back where it had been resting.

"She feels that because she isn't pregnant like a lot of the women are or were that live here she cant get involved with baby talk and such. She goes to the doctor because she was friends with her along time ago and that's the only person she feels she can talk to and won't be left out." Ana frowned. It did make sense.

"How do you know this?" Jack grinned and made to get up. Once standing he bent down to Ana's ear.

"Luv I'm captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy." Ana laughed and rolled her eyes as she watched Jack walk out of the room, probably to fetch some rum now that she was able to stand the smell of it.

Jack sat beside Ana, who had been ordered back to bed for more rest, even though she made out she was perfectly fine and didn't need to be in bed-rest. The both of them sat in silence, Jack was once again in his own world and Ana was growing more bored by the minuet.

"Jack." No reply. "Jack." She thumped his arm.

"Huh? What? What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? It's odd you being so quiet." Jack shook his head.

"Nothing." Ana sighed again.

"There's something the matter." no reply still. "Where are you going this time?" Jack frowned. He was pretty sure he was moving at the moment.

"Huh?"

"You're going again tomorrow. Where too?" Jack sighed.

"I'm no going to go." Ana frowned and then it all added up. That was the thing they had been arguing about the night before, when she had her panic attack and he felt guilty.

"Where are you going to stay then? You're not staying here, I'm booting you out tomorrow night for my last month without you." Jack frowned; a look of confusion ran across his face.

"I thought you didn't want me to go?" Ana sighed.

"I don't. But you have to go. It's only a month more. Then you don't have to leave me again. And if you do I'll kill you. Well maybe not kill you but torture you." Jack grinned. "So where are you going? Not somewhere to get yourself killed, captured by the navy or anything I hope." Jack took a deep breath as he began to explain where he and the pearl where heading off to this time...

Ana sat on the dock, with her feet dangling over the side as she watched the Black Pearl sail off. 'Another month to go... then the next time it leaves I'll be there too...' Ana smiled before adding another thought... 'With our baby'.
