(a/n: Please, like always, excuse any of my mistakes...stupid computer. Im going to start writing more on the Vixen sieries. Its amazing how an idea gets passed around. I am going to start giving names to my chapters too. I keep screwing up the puppie's name, so I guess she is now Maia. Whatever eh?. Also, go to http:premium. !)
Chapter nine: Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Port Royal was how I imagined it.
Exactly the opposite from Tourtuga in any way possible. There were ladies wearing fancy gowins in the morning. Men wore tailored suits, and event he kids had something nice on. There was no foul stench in the streets. The only smell your nose reached was of the lush flowers and sea breeze. In other words:
It was the perfect place to relax and have a baby.
If your not a pirate that is.
When we docked the ship. the harbour master just grunted in our direction. I think he knew Jack from before...but I wasnt sure. Then, we were stopped FIVE times by men in arms. They asked our names, and all that junk. Finally we reached the Govener's mansion. Jack had warned me that Govener Swann didnt take kindly to pirates, and I had best clean up, so I did. I was wearing a light green colored gown that I had picked up in Tourtuga, and my hair was in a nice French Twist.
We knocked on the front door of the mansion. I was expecting a butler of some sort to open the door, but Governer Swann actually opened it. Everyone stared at each other for a moment, before Liz lunged herself at her father.
"Elizabeth!" He cried, hugging her. She let go, and backed up to take Wills hand. "And who is this?" He asked with casual interest of me.
"I am Bonnie. Mr. Sparrow's wife." I said proudly. I saw Swann pale a bit.
"A fine lady...married to a pirate!" He gasped.
"Hey! Im not jest a pirate..." Jack started, but I cut him off.
"I am a pirate also, sir. A captain in fact. So, if you are going to talk unkindly about our practice, Mr. Sparrow and I will take up residance elsewhere." Jack smiled behind his hand at my stand-offish manner.
"Father!' Liz cried, clearly distressed that we were arguing.
"Alright. You can stay, but please, no piracy in my home..." Swann said pained.
"How kind." I said sarcasticly. Will nudged me to shut up. Jack nudged will in return.
A maid by the name of Maggie Mae led Jack and me to our room. It was nice, but not as big as our cabin on the Pearl. I put some of my and Jacks clothes in the chest by the bed. I flopped down in the chair by the window.
"Shilling for your thoughts?" Jack asked.
"You would be wasting your money."
"Then let it waste." I knew he wouldnt leave me be in my thoughts ever since our agument, so I gave him a pile of bull.
"Just wondering if we will have a boy or girl." I lied.
"Thats not what your thinking." He aid stubbornly.
"Is too."
"Your a horrible lier. What are ya thinking?" He came behind my chair and massaged my shoulders.
"Im thinking that I would like to close my eyes and sleep forever. Im thinking that I might not live through this birth. Im thinking about the last time I saw my mother." He stopped rubbing my shoulders.
"Oh."
"You wanted the truth." I said plainly, then got up. "Im going to do some shopping." I said. He walked to the door with me.
"Dont spend all me money." He planted a kiss on me, and then an ass pinch before I left the mansion.
"How much is this tunic?" I asked for the third time. I was holding up a silvery blue tunic in front of the merchant, but he seemed distracted. "Hello!" I cried, but he still didnt pay attention to me. He wasnt even looking my way. "Alright then...FINE." I walked off with the tunic without paying. I went on for a while before I felt like I was being followed. I turned around and there stood a little group of soilders.
"Yes?" I asked politely.
"Your under arrest." One said coming up to me and taking my hands. He tied a piece of rope around them and led me to the brig.
"Why am I under arrest! This is a misunderstanding Im sure!" I cried as the dragged me along.
"You are being arrested because you stole a tunic from the merchant Micheal." The man who was leading me said.
"I didnt steal anything!" I lied. Someone wrenched my bag from my shoulder, breaking the straps, and dumped out the contents. There were shillings, a silver comb, and the locket my father gave me in there, as well as that damned shirt.
"Didnt steal anything, eh?" The man who dumped out my purse said.
"My husband is going to kick your ass!" I spat in his face. He raised a hand to strike, but was stopped by the man who held the rope to my hands. We enterd the jail.
"Please, Im pregnant...you cant just throw me into a cell..." But they already did. "Bloody assholes!" I cried in the direction they were dissapearing. They didnt turn back around.
I sat on the floor, and started to sing a song I had made up...hey! there was nothign esle to do. I sang:
Two of us going nowhere
Spending someones hard earned pay.
You and me Sunday riding
Not ariving
On Our way Back Home
We're on our way home.
We're on our way home.
We're going home!
Two of us sending post cars
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me bunring matches
Lifting latches
On our way
Back Home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home,
We're going home!
You and I have memories,
Longer than the road that stretches on ahead.
Two of us wearing rain coats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way
Back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home!
I herd a small clapping, and looked up. There stood Jack, Liz, Will and the man who took me in.
"I didnt know you could sing." Jack said.
"I cant," He shrugged. "Can I go? I asked the one man. He nodded stifly and undid the lock on the cell.
"Thanks." I said as Liz helped my up from the floor.
"Your not going shopping without someone with you next time." Jack said, and led me out the door.
"Im not a three year old, Jack!"
"You sure the hell act like it sometimes!" I got pissed.
"Well how the hell am I supposed to act, Mr. Sparrow?" I demanded. I saw that I was causing a sceane, but I DID NOT CARE.
"Liek a lady-pirate. Or a soon to be mother!" He said just as loudly.
"Im not a 'lady-pirate' you dolt! Im a bloody captain! And I will act like a mother when I have my baby in my arms! Even then, I will be more of a pirate!" I shouted. Liz pinched me.
"This can wait until we get back to the mansion." She hissed in my ear, eyeing the crowd that was muttering about us.
"Whatever." I mumbled, and stalked off to the mansion alone.
I went into the library, wondering if I could find some reading matiral. Jack came barging after me.
"Do you ever walk in normally?" I asked.
"What are you after, running off like that!" He demanded. I rolled my eyes.
"I am not a slave, Jack Sparrow. You dont own me. We just happen to have a marriage licence. That is all that is going on between us."
"All of it? When I remember a ceratin day when you said you loved me, I didnt love you, then I said I loved you? You seemed to feel differently then." I got so angry that I slapped him. "Do not slap me again woman." He growled. I picke dup a vase from the table by use, and chucked it at him. He dodged it and walked out of the library. I herd a slow wistle. I jumped and turned around.
There stood a guy who could only be described as: An Ice Cream (a/n: I dont know if they had ice cream back then!).
"Are pirates attacking?" He asked in his stuffy mannor.
"Sir, you should have made your precance known." I said, trying not to cry because of Jack.
"What? And ruin that beautiful love scene?" He asked. "In fact, Id like to see more of you, once your done with that Sparrow."
"You sir, are no gentle man." I spat, he just chuckled.
"And you miss, are no lady."
"First you take a low commoner advatage of me, and then you insult me!" I rushed out of the room.(a/n:Dont worry, shes not going to get with him, I just loved that conv. in the movie. Free Sparrow cut outs to those who guess what movei that was from and the song in here. And if you cant guess who it is...go eat poo! ;))
