The next morning I woke up to the sun's rays on my face. I sat up in my chair and looked at Jack, he was still unconscious. I got up, changed and went over to the window; it was a beautiful day outside. As I was looking out the window there was a knock on the door.

"Come in…" I said. Elizabeth came in the room and looked at Jack.

"No change?" She said sadly. I just shook my head. "Well, why don't you come down stairs to breakfast?"

"I couldn't what if he wakes up?" I asked not wanting to leave Jack.

"If it makes you feel any better I shall get a maid to watch him for you." She said trying to get me to leave.

I sighed. "Alright…" She smiled and I followed her out of the room. Elizabeth then went to find a maid to watch Jack and I went downstairs.

When I walked into the dinning room my father looked up at me like he would never have expected me to walk through the doorway. I took a seat right next to him, since he was at the head of the table. He then handed me a plate of eggs just as Elizabeth walked in and took a seat next to me. I looked at her and she gave me a smile that meant everything was taken care of.

"Natalie, how is Mr. Sparrow's condition?" My father asked curiously.

"There has been no change in his condition." I said sadly and started eating my eggs.

After breakfast I went upstairs to my room where Jack was located. Once I entered the room the maid that was watching Jack, got up from the same chair I sat in earlier and left the room. I walked in the room, sat in the chair and took the book that I had placed on the night table. I looked at Jack and as I did I felt tears come to my eyes. Something told me that he wasn't going to wake up.

"Jack, if only you knew what I so dearly want to tell you." I touched his hand for some kind of reaction, but got none. Every time I looked at him my heart sank farther down until I thought it had reached the pit of my stomach. I picked up the book that I had placed on my lap. I looked at Jack and I thought I saw him twitch his nose, but thought nothing of it. I wanted him to wake up so badly that I thought it was my imagination.

As I started to read my book I heard someone grunt. I looked around the room, but no one was there except me and an unconscious Jack. I was about to go back to my book when I noticed Jack's hand reach up to his wounded shoulder. I got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Jack…" I asked hoping my eyes were not lying to me.

"Morning, love…" He said opening his eyes. I felt my heart leap back into my chest.

"You're awake, how's your shoulder?" I asked a bit stunned.

"A little bit stiff, what's the matter, love?" He asked frowning

"It's just I had a feeling that you wouldn't wake up and now it's like your perfectly fine." He smiled and I turned my head toward the window. When I looked back he was trying to sit up.

"If you need help you could always ask it's not like it's going to kill me." I said watching him try and sit up. He said nothing after he finally got up.

"I have to change your bandages so the wound won't get infected." I said reaching for the tray that was on the night table.

"Don't you think you should get a maid to do this, love?" He said unsure if I should being doing this.

"Don't you trust me?" I asked looking at him.

"I do…" He said honestly

"Then don't worry and besides who do you think bandaged your wound in the first place?" I asked smiling.

I unraveled the old bandage and examined the wound. All the while I felt his gaze on me. I then readied the wound with the new bandage. "There now was that so painful?" I asked him.

When he didn't answer I got up off the bed and went towards the window. My father's words echoed in my head, but I pushed them aside. It was then that I realized that through all this trouble with being betrothed I didn't once tell him that I loved him.

Why can't I tell him? It's no big deal he even told me before he went unconscious. How do I tell him without sounding like an idiot to him?

"Jack…I love you." I said without looking at him because for some reason I was afraid of his reaction.

"I know love." I jumped when I heard his voice come from right behind me.

I turned around and was face to face with him. He smiled at my reaction and that's when my father's words surfaced in my mind again. "My father was here last night and he told me that John is in jail, the wedding is off for good and he also said that if I love you he will accept it because he wants to see me happy." I said and he smiled giving me a little and unexpected kiss.

Four Days later

It has been four days since Jack woke up. His wound has healed nicely and he is now able to use that arm without it hurting him. I was outside sitting on a bench reading a book when I saw Elizabeth coming towards me. She had a smile on her face that said I know something you don't.

"Jack wants you to meet him at the docks." Elizabeth said still smiling.

"Did he say why?" I asked trying to get some information out of her.

"No, actually he didn't." She said thinking it over.

I sighed figuring I wasn't going to get anything from her if Jack didn't tell her anything. "Alright…" I put the book I was reading on the bench and started walking towards the dock.

I wonder why he wants to see me down at the docks. I hope he isn't in trouble with Commodore Norrington.

I thought about those things until I reached the docks. There I saw Jack waiting for me, so I walked over to him.

"You wanted to see me, Jack?" He smiled the same smile Elizabeth did and I desperately wanted to know what was going on.

"I did, love. I wanted to tell you good-bye." He said.

I was slightly confused and shocked at what he said. "Why are you leaving?"

"I don't belong here my home is out on the ocean. Not in some little port that has no adventure." He said sadly.

"Then I will never see you again." I said softly.

"You could come with me, love. Then we will always be together." He said trying to make it sound wonderful.

"As much as I would love to Jack I can't. My place is here with my family." I said as tears came to my eyes.

He nodded, gave me a tender kiss then boarded the ship. I looked at the water below me as the ship passed. I then felt something wrap around my waist. It was a rope and before I knew what was going on I was being pulled toward the passing ship. Once I was pulled on deck I saw Jack holding the other end of the rope.

"Jack Sparrow what on earth are you doing!" I shouted untying the rope around my waist.

"I couldn't just leave you here like I did last time." He said with a sly grin.

"You are so stubborn!" I said glaring at him.

"Only when it comes to you, love." He said as he put the rope away.

"Does anyone know about this?" I asked curiously.

"Elizabeth does…" He said as he tied something down.

That does explain the smile on her face. I thought. "So where are we going?" I asked questioningly.

"Where ever the wind takes us, love." He replied and smiled.

I turned around and watched Port Royal fade away. I was truly glad that Jack took me with him. I sighed as the ocean breeze blew my hair around. My life would never be the same now.
