Ahhh, reviews, I do love them! Well, here it is, they are going to Port Royal... I wonder what will happen?

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: GOING TO PORT ROYAL

"You know," Anamaria said as she passed Jack at the dinner table. "They say if you hold a baby too much, ye spoil 'em."

Jack only smiled down at his daughter in his arms. "Then I'm determined ta make Maddy th' most spoilt child in th' Caribbean." He continued to feed her from a bottle. Sunni only smiled at them over her plate, not commenting.

"How are ye feelin', Ms. Sunni?" Gibbs asked, taking a seat next to her.

"Well," Sunni began. "I just lost nearly thirty pounds, my ankles have stopped swelling, the cravings are gone, I don't have to pee every fifteen minutes, and my back is no longer sore. However, I also feel like I just got run over by a horse, so it's anyone's call."

"Still feeling run down, eh?" he asked, taking a scoop of gruel.

"Ye try squeezin' one of those things out and tell me how you feel," she said to him.

Elizabeth just laughed as she sat down next to Jack. "It will go away eventually, sis. You had a rough birth, that's all."

Sunni nodded, taking another spoonful of soup. As she did, she caught Jack's eye. He was staring at her. "Stop looking at me that way," she told Jack. "I survived, okay? Yes, it was a tough birth, but I don't plan on leavin' ye any time soon."

"The infection seems to be going away," Gibbs put in. "But let me tell ye, I never saw Jack Sparrow so scared. An' I've seen him in a lot of different situations, but I never saw the fright in his eyes."

"All right, all right," Jack interrupted. "That's enough, we don't need to relive the situation."

Luckily, Will and Johnny entered the mess hall, serving as a distraction from Jack's discomfort.

"We're a little more than a day out of Port Royal," Will told Jack as he lifted Johnny onto a bench.

Sunni dropped her spoon and glared at Jack. "Port Royal?"

Elizabeth frowned, realizing Sunni didn't know their bearing. "Yeah," she explained slowly. "When we got chased away from Mikhale, the next closest port was Port Royal, so we're headed home."

"Well," Sunni said slowly, "I'm fine now, th' baby's fine, so we don't need to go home yet."

"Oh yer fine, eh, luv?" Jack asked, handing Maddy over to Elizabeth. He stood. "Then why don't you walk around th' table ta me?"

Sunni set her jaw. She dropped her hands to the table and used her arms to push herself to her feet. Glaring at Jack, she took a small, baby step towards him, and then another. But one the third one, her legs simply gave out and she collapsed. Elizabeth gasped, but Jack lunged and caught her just in time.

His eyes bore down into hers as he scooped her up in his arms and headed for their cabin.

"Jack, I don't want to go back home yet," she told him as he placed her in their bed.

Jack sat on the edge of the bed and smoothed back her hair. "Why not?"

"I don't wanna be taken away from you."

Jack swallowed at the honesty of her voice. "Luv, yer not gonna be taken away from me. We're a family. It just ain't right ta split up a family, savvy? Am I right? Yer father'll understand that."

Sunni sighed and closed her eyes. "I sure hope so, Jack. I sure hope so."

"No more worries, okay, luv? Yer wearin' yerself out, an' I want ye back up to full strength soon, savvy? Ye got work ta be doin' on the ship ta earn yer keep."

Sunni smiled as she closed her eyes. "Maddy needs changin'."

"Blast woman," Jack muttered, only joking. He stood and exited their room to find his daughter. Changing her diaper wasn't that big of deal to him, anything that had to do with his new daughter was a pleasure.

"How is she?" Elizabeth asked, meeting him on the deck.

Jack scooped up his daughter. "She's tired, that's all."

"You mean she didn't ream you out for going to Port Royal?"

"She's not feeling like her normal self, yet," Jack sighed.

"She will soon," Elizabeth assured him. "As long as she keeps eating and doesn't try to push her luck."

The Black Pearl sailed toward the docks of Port Royal, out in the open, without hiding in its usual cove. The plan was for Elizabeth and Will to enter the docks first and appease the soldiers, Norrington and her father before Jack and Sunni showed up. The white flag of truce was run up the mast and the Pearl began sailing smoothly into port.

Jack could see the chaos the Pearl's arrival was causing in Port Royal. Soldiers were marching to the docks, the fort was being readied, and soon, Norrington's white wig appeared. He motioned for the men to hold their fire upon seeing the flag of truce.

Elizabeth was off the Pearl before it had even docked. The crew of the Pearl stood warily on the deck, ready to fight if need be.

"Commodore," Elizabeth demanded, her voice stern and unwavering. Soon, the Governor appeared as well. "I demand that you call your men off this instant, these men here mean no harm."

"Mrs. Turner, perhaps you have forgotten that this crew has kidnapped you and your sister, as well as your husband and son. They have held you hostage for months; there is no way I will allow these men to escape."

"Elizabeth, you're safe!" the Governor rushed to his oldest daughter, taking her in his arms.

"Yes, Father, I'm fine, as well as Sunni, she's on board right now."

The Governor turned to the soldiers. "Board that ship this instance and find my daughter!"

"Father, no! You will do no such thing!" Elizabeth cried, her demands being ignored. Soldiers poured onto the Pearl.

The crew of the Pearl readied themselves to fight, but Jack appeared as the royal navy men appeared on his ship. "Hold yer fire," he told his crew, "No one engages, savvy?"

"Ah, Mr. Sparrow," the Commodore appeared before Jack. "I knew you had to be around here somewhere."

"That's Captain Sparrow, if ye don't mind," another voice proclaimed.

The Commodore looked over Jack's shoulder and saw Ms. Caitlyn Swann, all five feet of her, carrying a bundle in her arms.

"Ms. Swann! Your father will be so pleased to see you are well."

"Mrs. Sparrow, if you don't mind," she corrected him again.

At that point, Norrington saw the bundle in her arms and made it out to be a baby. And if she was Mrs. Sparrow . . . then that was Jack's child.

"Men!" Norrington cried. "Arrest Sparrow this instant! I want him in irons and charged with the rape of the Governor's daughter! Gillette, take the child this instant, Mullroy, you will assist Ms. Swann back to her father."

"Jack!" Sunni screamed, as her daughter was taken away from her. The entire ship was thrown into chaos as soldier surrounded the crew and men attacked Jack.

"Sunni!" Jack cried back.

"You cannot charge him," Sunni cried, as men fought to hang on to her. She was trying to throw herself at Jack. "You cannot charge him! He is my husband! I love him! Jack!"

Jack watched as his wife, weak with childbearing, struggled against the men holding her. He himself, fought as soldiers tried to chain him. "Sunni, just calm down! We'll work this out; you need to talk to your father!"

"Jack, don't let them separate us! We're a family, you said it yourself! Jack!"

"Sunni, just take care of Maddy," Jack shouted over his shoulder as he was escorted off the ship.

"Jack!" Sunni fell to her knees. "Don't go! Jack!"

Men attempted to help Sunni back to her feet, but she swatted them away with evil glares. When she tried to stand herself, she was unable. Finally, men pulled her up as the Governor boarded. The relief in his eyes was visible when he saw his daughter in one piece.

"Caitlyn! Oh, Caitlyn, I've been so worried! You are home, sweetheart," he attempted to hug her, but she pushed him away.

"Where is my daughter? What have they done with my daughter?"

The Governor blanched. "Your what?"

"My child! Jack's and my child! We married, father, over a year ago, and now we have a child. What have they done with her?"

The governor's face clouded over. "Gentlemen, get my daughter to a doctor this instant! I fear she has been brainwashed!"

"What!" Sunni screamed, again struggling against the arms holding her. They then dragged her off the boat, making way to town.
