Summary: Commodore Norrington falls in love with Lady Serenity. But Lady Serenity is actually Silver, Captain Jack Sparrow's partner. In other words, Lady Serenity is no lady, she's a pirate. What will happen when Norrington finds that out?
Chapter 8
"The Unlimited is ready, sir!" shouted a soldier.
The commodore waved, signaling communication, then turned around and put his hands upon Serenity's shoulders.
"Are you okay? Do you need more time? We can wait…"
"Norrington. You can wait. I can wait. But the baby can't. I need to do this one thing for me, before the baby comes. Before we become parents."
"I know, but, I'm worried…"
"Don't be, I'm a perfectly coordinated person…"
"Who fell off Sun Peak after she promised that she wouldn't," cut in the commodore grimly.
"Darling, don't be that way, I was pregnant at the time, and I didn't know that the unproportionateness weight would overcome me."
He stared at her, unfamiliar with the big word she just used. "Right…just be careful Serenity."
"Mmm…I will."
She gave him one last hug, and boarded the ship. "Bye dear!" she cried out.
"Bye honey!" he answered, waving.
She turned around and walked towards Gibbs, who was at the wheel, and ordered, "Sail us to Tortuga."
Jack woke up to the sounds of triumphant roars. "What the bloody hell is the crew yelling about? Don't they know that their cap'ain's asleep?" He groaned, put on his boots and hat, and stormed out of his cabin.
"What's going on?" he asked Will.
Will just grinned and pointed towards the starboard side of the ship. "Go and see for yourself!"
Grumbling, Jack walked towards starboard, and once he saw what everyone else was looking at, he joined in with the roars of happiness.
Because he was happy. Silver was back!
Oh, and um…Mr. Gibbs. He was back too. Yippee.
"I see 'er Silver! We'll be docking shortly," cired Gibbs.
Silver breathed a sigh of relief. Not because they were going back on The Pearl, because that was just an animal house. She felt so elated due to the fact that she finally took out that pillow and scarf, and she didn't feel fat anymore.
"Um...Gibbs…can I ask you something? Before we dock?"
"Sure Silver."
"Um…please, don't be mortified…it's just, I feel that Norrington isn't so bad anymore. He's just extremely lonely." Silver emphasized 'extremely' very strongly.
"But you don't have any strong feelin's about 'im, do ye?"
"No, but, well, I don't know. Is it possible to fall in love with two people?"
Gibbs gave a chuckle. "Silver, you only think that you're fallin' in love with two people, but you have to decide for yeself which person has your heart." He took a swig of rum.
Silver just stared at him open mouthed. "Where did ye get that?"
"Uh…something Elizabeth said…I think…"
Silver laughed. "I knew it could be something like that…"
"Oy, Silver!" cried out a distant, yet familiar, voice.
She waved back, but Jack kept yelling her name. Okay…
"Oy Jackie!" she hollered back, grinning. She watched Jack's expression drop, and he gave her a threatening finger and glared at her. She just threw her head back and laughed, then brought out all three of her swords. And when Jack called her challenge by pulling out her sword, she tried stifling her laughter. Jack hadn't won a match against her. Not by a long shot.
As soon as Gibbs docked the boat next to the Black Pearl, she made a jump (and made it of course) and landed on the deck right in front of Jack.
"Ye except?" she said, nodding her head towards his sword.
"Yes I do!"
"Okay, and as you always say, 'Your funeral!'"
Jack, who was outraged that she managed to slip another one of his quotes right under his nose, made the first move, and she easily evaded it. He continued attacking her, move and move, but he didn't get past her swords. She gave a swipe and once their swords collided, the force was so strong, Jack was knocked backwards a couple of steps.
"What a great welcoming committee, right Jack?"
"Ye brought this on yourself!"
"So it's now, 'my funeral,' is it Jack?"
"Um…I guess…" Jack started, but was interrupted by Silver starting to attack. She took a swift strike and bumped Jack's sword out of his hands and up in the air. He tried to make a grab for it, and did not succeed (of course), because Silver caught it between her two swords and started to juggle it, and then when she stopped, the sword came down, and she kicked it behind her.
"Watch the sword!" cried Jack.
"Oh, so I should forget about givin' your hat respect then?" she joked, and knocked his hat off his head with the butt of the sword. Jack started to scramble for it, but Silver put her two swords in position, right at Jack's neck crossed.
The entire crew grumbled, and a distinct, "She always ready to kill 'im, but she nev'a does…" was heard. They all left, because it always happened like this.
Silver kicked Jack, who was in the squatting position, and when he stood up, she circled him, not taking her swords off of their location, Jack's neck. She stopped was she stood in front of Jack and smiled. "I win, and if I wasn't so nice, this would be your funeral."
She dropped her all three of her swords and gave Jack a kiss. He wrapped his arm around her waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Jack broke off the kiss, and said, "I like doing this more than sword fighting." He continued to kiss her.
Silver broke away later and said, "That's only because," she gave him another kiss, "you always lose when you challenge me."
Jack smiled, and gave Silver another kiss, and then heaved her in the air. She screamed, and he caught her in the bride-style (again).
"Jack?" she asked pleasantly.
"Mmm…yes?"
"Wot the bloody hell do ye think your doing?" she roared.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to drop you into the ocean," replied Jack.
"You cretin, you are certainly not going to drop me in that god-forsaken-water!"
Jack just started to walk towards the stern, and he held her over the ledge. Silver's eyes widened and she whispered, "You are…"
"That's right!"
"Then I'm taking her down with me!" she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Will came up to them and told Jack, "Here's your sword…"
Jack turned around, and asked roughly, "Where's me hat?"
"But you said so yourself 'watch the sword,' right Jack?"
"I did…but…"
Silver took this as her opening distraction, because she kissed Jack on the cheek and lowered herself off of him. "I'll get it!" she cried, running off.
"Thank ye Silver. Now if you excuse me Will, there is a certain Silver that needs a dunking…"
"Didn't the certain Silver just escape from your grasp again?" chuckled Will.
"What?" answered Jack. He looked at his arms, horrified to see nothing.
"She slipped out of your hands huh?" asked Will.
"Don't say anything stupid, Will," threatened Jack, pulling out his sword.
"Please Jack. Put away your sword, before you embarrass yourself."
"Why I outta…" started Jack, but was interruppted by screams.
They looked at each other, then looked at the direction of the screams. "Silver," cried Jack, and at the same time Will cried out, "Elizabeth." Then they ran off to see what happened.
Silver ran off from Jack, and knocked on Elizabeth and Will's cabin. Elizabeth opened the door and Silver pulled her out.
"Hey E, is something wrong?"
"No…no…it's just that I have wonderful news!"
"What E?"
She took a deep breathe, and smiled. "I'm pregnant!" she cried.
"Me too!" responded Silver. The two girls began to jump up and down, but then Elizabeth stopped with a puzzled face.
"You are?"
"No," laughed Silver, shaking her head, "it just seemed like the right thing to say."
Elizabeth laughed, and then whispered, "But I haven't told Will…"
"Then I suggest you…" Silver started, putting on a serious face and stroked her imaginary beard. "I suggest you tell him."
"I'm going to do it today."
"Okay…"
The girls stood there for a moment, and then started screaming.
"Back away from the woman I love, you fiend!" roared Will and Jack as they came charging towards them with swords drawn.
Elizabeth and Silver just looked at each other, and took a step backwards.
Jack looked around and asked, "Well, where be the scallywag?"
"What scallywag?"
"Elizabeth, are you okay?" Will asked, dropping his sword, and hugging her.
"Um…Will?" she said, backing away from his hug and holding his hands. Elizabeth looked at Silver, who nodded, and then looked back at Will. "I'm pregnant!"
"That's wonderful!" cried Will and he tenderly led her back into the cabin.
"If you need me, I'll be in Ana's room!" cried Silver. Then looking back at Jack, she cried out, "Or Jack's room!" Jack gave her a sexy smirk, and dropping his sword he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
She turned around, and answered Jack's smirk with one of her own. "Salsa?"
"I like it better when you sing," mummured Jack, as he kissed the back of her neck.
"Okay…" she said, breaking free. "I'll sing tonight, savvy?"
"Savvy," replied Jack. He then frowned and said, "That's me word!"
"Mmm…" she responded, pulling Jack back to her. Leaning back into him, she asked, "Did you mean that?"
"Mean what luv?"
"Did you really mean what you said?"
"Luv, what are you…?"
"Oh for goodness sake Jack!" she cried. She turned around and took a step backward. "Did you really mean this? 'Back away from the woman I love!'?" she retorted, using her JackMoron tone.
"Luv, don't use that tone…"
"You," she grimly said, "are not my father. Now answer the question."
Jack sighed. "There's no persuading you…Okay, yes I did. Happy?"
"Flattered," she snapped, and stalked off toward Ana's room. Before slamming the door, she hollered, "I'm singing tonight, so it's rum-night!"
Elizabeth pounded her door open and asked, "Rum?"
Will came behind her and said, "Dear, that's not very healthy…"
"I have a strong urge for it honey!"
"I don't know…"
"Come, we'll go ask Silver."
"But Silver's rum-crazy!"
"I'm not talking about that! She's very well trained in the pregnancy study, it's the only thing she learned at the academy." Elizabeth took Will's hand and dragged him towards Ana's old cabin.
Elizabeth knocked on the door and said, "Silver? I have a question…"
"Come on in!" a muffled voice shouted behind the door, and Will opened it for Elizabeth.
"You have a question, E?"
"Kind of. Can I have rum?"
"Sure, just not too much. Only drink half a bottle. Anymore, and it'll go to the baby."
"So half a bottle everyday?" asked Elizabeth.
Silver stared her in the eye in disbelief, and said, "Half a bottle every nine months."
"But that means I can only have half a bottle during my time with my baby until he's born?"
Silver nodded her head, and Will, looking confused, asked Elizabeth, "He?"
"Of course."
"But I want a girl!"
"Too bad, we're having a boy!"
"You're not the one to decide that!"
"Well I want a boy."
The two of them continued to bicker, and Silver yelled, "Stop!"
They stopped in the middle of their shouting and looked at Silver.
She sighed. "That's not the point. Drinking more than I say will give the baby brain damage, and he or she will be addicted. Is that what you want? For the baby to be exactly like a Jack Sparrow, or a Silver Sparrow?"
"No…"
"If you do have a craving for rum, I suggest eating green apples. They'll help you get rid of your craving…"
"But won't she have a craving for green apples then?"
"No, more likely she'll have a craving for olives or pickles with ice cream."
Elizabeth and Will just stared at Silver like she was some idolized god.
"Thanks Silver."
"No problem. Just advertise me, okay? Serenity, Pregnancy Genius!" Silver joked.
The three of the chuckled, and Will and Elizabeth left.
Silver sighed. Elizabeth and Will, so happy together. Why can't I find that happiness?
It's because your thick skull doesn't know that that happiness is right in front of ye!
You are my thick skull…
Not really, I'm your brain…
But that's what you meant…
No it's not!
Yes it is. Is this what you wanted to talk about? If you are my thick skull or my brain?
Yes. Wait, no! You know he's there…
But last time…
Jack was an idiot last time. Don't you think 1 month without you would make him more mature?
I guess…
And you had to be the childish one today. Tsk tsk. Go apologize!
"Yes ma'am!" cried Silver. Then to herself again she muttered, "Man, I am mean. Just listen to me brain!"
She walked out and knocked on Jack's door. "Jack, open up!"
"Come in, but don't…" he started, but Silver had already opened the door and shut it.
"Aargh, why'd you do that for?" he grumbled.
"Do what?" Silver asked, genuinely confused.
"Shut the door! I've been trying to get out since I got in! It's stuck on the inside!"
"So we're stuck in here until someone opens the door for us on the outside without closing it on the inside?
"That's right—" he began.
"Great! This is just fabulous!"
"Uh-oh…"
"What do you mean 'uh-oh'?"
"What about Rum-Night?"
"You are dispicable!"
"I think the word is desirable," answered Jack.
Silver groaned. "Those words don't even sound alike!"
"What do you mean my daughter isn't at the Royal Port Acadamey for Young Proper Ladies? We thought she was enrolled for over the past 20 years!" cried Queen Lidia.
"I'm terribly sorry your majesty, but we've searched the entire academy, and she hasn't been their for 19 years," trembled the headmistress, Ms. Micra.
"Oh, just please let her be okay! We'll search for her, but please don't tell her father. Do you know how outraged he gets when his dinner is minutes late?"
Ms. Micra wasn't sure if she was supposed to answer this question or not, but did a simple, "Mmm..."
"Very well. I'll send out a search tomorrow. This is a terrible misunderstanding, of course, and since you prove to be such a terrible headmistress I shall have you removed."
"Re-removed? But your majesty, a school with over6000 young ladies,we can't keep track of every single one all the time!"
"Well, that's your problem, not mine," the queen answered sharply, and she rose from her end of the table. "This discussion is over. I'm glad you see it my way!"
"B-b-but!" cried Ms. Micra, as two maidens gently led her out of the room.
"Good day!" Queen Lidia smiled and waved. As soon as the doors shut, she grumbled and muttered to herself, "And good ridance, for that matter! My poor poor Serenity! I'm going to find her, if it's the last thing I do!"
Uh-oh! Silver's trapped in Jack's cabin with Jack, and her mother is about to take rescue mission to a whole new level! What will happen next? Umm...to tell you the truth, I'm not sure. But I'll let you know when I do! Please read and review!
