Thank you to all reviewers!!!! I'm so happy that's Jack's in character, at least for that chapter. This one was harder coz I wasn't too sure how close Jack would be to the couple but we'll see if it's okay.

Please review, especially if you see something bad coz I need to know!

I know how it's gonna end! Yay, I'm sure you'll love it... I think...hmmm...

Oh, by the way, REVIEW!

Chapter 5

"Are you gonna knock or just...walk right in." Nina finished as Jack did so.

Will seemed to be taking out his frustrations on a bit of metal and didn't notice the two walk in. It wasn't until Jack spoke that he turned around.

"Sprung any more pirates recent? There should be a good supply – what wit' Norry an' all."

"Jack!" Will practically bounded up to talk to him. Nina just stood back and let them talk.

"How are you? Are you all right? Does the Commodore know you're here?"

"I'm fine mate, and yes 'e does, though 'e's not particularly 'appy 'bout it all."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I 'ave amnesty 'til the wedding's done and it annoys 'im 'arfway to Hell that I'm right in front o' 'im and 'e can't touch me."

Will smiled at the older man, and then noticed Nina standing by the door. He stopped smiling and almost scowled.

"Miss Wilding." Will said shortly.

"Wha's the matter, whelp?"

"Oh, Mr Turner doesn't like me much, ever since I first appeared at that garden party. He doesn't trust me, you see, thinks I've been getting too friendly with everyone." Nina clarified, believing that was the reason.

"Now I know that you two know each other, I definitely don't trust her."

"Now come on, mate. I'd trust Nina wit' me life," Jack said supportively. Will was still dubious, "Jest not with me gold." Jack continued.

Nina feigned insult.

"Anyway you gotta be nice to the girl." Jack said simply.

"Why's that?"

"She's family." Nina rolled her eyes and then gave a helpless grin.

"Not by choice, may I add. His sister married my half-brother, so I really had no control over it what-so-ever." Nina felt she had to explain.

"Alright, I'll be nice, but I still don't trust you." Will said grudgingly.

"Wise move, I wouldn't trust me either." She joked trying to lighten the mood.

"So anyway Will, lemme give ye a piece of advice while you can still use it."

"What's that?" said Will slightly suspiciously.

"Simple: Try before ye buy."

Jack felt a tap on his shoulder. He then felt a slap across his other cheek – the one that hadn't already been attacked by Ana-Maria.

"You're so lewd, Jack. That's just wrong and not appropriate."

"It's perfectly 'propriate. 'Sides, I seem to remember at a certain wedding..."

"Alright, alright, you win;" Nina said hurriedly, "Keep with the advice." She said through gritted teeth.

Will watched Jack intently.

"It seemed that a certain someone I know slept with the bride's brother, and they certainly weren't married, if I recall correctly..." Jack trailed off. Will's attention turned to Nina.

"You slept with Jack?!"

Jack was enjoying Nina squirm intensely.

"Well, technically, there wasn't actually much sleeping involved." Nina said, "How did the attention get turned towards me? We were talking about your wedding!" She half-stammered.

"You know, Jack," Said Will slyly, "It would be terrible if Norrington got his hands on this piece of information."

"Yer thinkin' more like a pirate every day Will." Jack smirked.

"No. You are not using this against me. I refuse to be blackmailed."

"That's alright. I'm just going to remember this for a ver long time."

"Hey! In my defence, he got me drunk!" She pointed accusingly at Jack, "I'm gonna get you back Captain Sparrow, just you wait!"

Looking pleased with himself; having gained more on Nina, Will turned to Jack. "Have you been to see Lizzy yet?"

"We were gonna go see your bonny lass next."

"Come on then, I'll go with you."

Will took his apron off and left it on a stool.

"Come on, lover." Jack called after Nina. She sighed. I'm never gonna live this down, she thought to herself.

When Elizabeth caught sight of Jack, she was ecstatic. She squeezed him tight and then wouldn't stop asking him questions about his latest adventures.

"Did those two ever have a...thing?" Nina asked Will slyly while all this was going on.

"No." he answered with confidence, "Why?"

"They just seem really close to me, that's all." Nina planted a seed of doubt in Will's mind. Evil, she knew but she couldn't help herself, he'd been somewhat short towards her ever since she got here.

"So what are you doing here Jack? Apart from the wedding of course." Elizabeth asked.

"Jest thought I'd catch up wit' me friends an' family." Jack shot a meaningful look at Nina.

"You have family in Port Royal? Why didn't you tell me before? I might know them."

"She wasn't 'ere before."

Elizabeth noticed Nina for the first time so far that afternoon. She was so genuinely happy about Jack returning that she paid no attention to anyone else.

"Nina?"

Nina sighed exasperated. "No. Sort of. Yeah."

"You kept that quiet."

"It wouldn't exactly do very well if people knew I was related to a pirate. Besides it brings back bad memories."

It was Jack's turn to feign insult.

"What? Of the time you slept with him?" Will blurted out. Nina scowled at him.

"Is this true, Nina?" Elizabeth didn't need a reply.

"It was before we were related. If that makes it any better."

"What happened?"

"Well, when a man gets wit' a lass 'e likes..." Jack started. The three of them looked at him in amazement.

"Night before a wedding he got me drunk. I don't like to think of it, I was still married at the time." Nina said quickly.

Jack just grinned at the lie but said nothing of it.

"Oh." Said Elizabeth.

"Look, if you don't mind I ought to be going. I'll leave you to catch up." Nina said and left before any more damage could be made. She just hoped Jack wouldn't dump her in it.

"While she was married, Jack?" Elizabeth asked rhetorically, "Do you have no morals?"

"What can I say?" Jack said in return. Changing the subject, "Tell me about yer wedding then, I don't 'ave to wash do I?"
