As Anamaria entered the room she noticed that there was two empty rum bottles on the floor. She shook her head and turned to face Jack.

"Aye Cap'n." She repeated. Jack glared at her. Then walked toward his rum cabinet and grabbed another bottle.

"Ye knew 'bout 'his baby?" he questioned her uncorking the bottle and taking a good long swig. He sauntered over to a chair and sat in it. Anamaria shook her head not agreeing with the way Jack was handling this.

"Aye. I didn't tell ye 'cause Jasmine wanted ta tell ye." She walked toward Jack and took the bottle from him.

" 'ey. 'hat be me rum." Jack exclaimed. Ana took the keys to the cabinet and locked the doors. Then turned to look at her Captain.

"Jasmine loves ye, 'he wants ye in 'his baby's life." Ana stated walking back in front of her Captain. "Jasmine be out on deck cryin' 'er eyes out 'cause she is so scared ye'll leave 'er. Yer drinkin' 'ight now doesn't make it any easier on 'er either." Jack looked at the floor. If they had been out on the deck in front of the crew Anamaria knew she wouldn't have gotten away with that. In his Cabin though, she was the one person he knew he could ask advice from, and in here he knew that even if he hadn't asked for it he would get it from her. "Jack." Ana said softly and laid a soft hand on Jack's shoulder. "Ye need ta be with 'er. She needs ye most of all now." Ana finished.

Jack gave a little huff and then smiled up at Anamaria. She could tell her little speech had sobered him up not just some but a lot. Jack knew he had to realize, Jasmine hadn't asked for this but yet she welcomed it with no hesitation. So should he. He suddenly stood and this action shocked Anamaria. She smiled at him and he nodded his thanks to her and moved toward the door.

Out on deck I had been watching the water and wondering what I was going to do now that Jack didn't want me. Where was I to turn? I watched as a dolphin swam past and jumped out of the water. I heard the Captains Cabin door open and then I heard a murmur on deck but paid no attention to it.

"Back ta work ye scaly wags!" I heard Jack call to the crew. Then a commotion started back up on deck as the men went back to their duties and forgot all about what they had seen. I hadn't noticed the footsteps coming up behind me on a count for all the raucous on deck. I sensed that someone was coming up behind me but didn't care. I felt the familiar arms around my waist and the familiar beard on my neck. Jack kissed my neck and held me close to him.

" 'ow long 'ave ye been pregnant?" He asked softly into my ear. I couldn't even tell he had been drinking. I turned in his arms and smiled. He wiped my eyes and kissed my cheek waiting my answer.

"Not even a month yet." I stated kissing his lips and leaning into him. He wrapped his arms around me carefully trying not to touch the cut on my back. I smiled and inhaled his scent. "You had me so scared Jack. I thought you were going to leave me at the next port." I was trying hard to suppress the sobs that were threatening to over take my body.

" o' course not luv. No matter what 'appens I'll never let go o' ye." He smiled as he caught my lips for another blissful kiss. I moved into him and he let his chin rest on the top of my head. He started to rock us back and forth as if we were dancing.

"I love you Jack. That will never change." I could feel him smile.

"I luv ye too." We were interrupted by the man in the crows nest.

"Capt'n! Mast off the starboard side!" He called and Jack kissed me roughly and then ran up to the Helm. I followed slowly not wanting to leave his side. He took out his eye glass and looked over the starboard side. I heard him gasp as I reached the top stair.

"Jack what is it?" I asked he pulled his eye glass down, but kept his head turned in that direction.

"Can't be."

Well I think I knoe where I want this to go, but if you like the idea of Jasmine and Jack having a child you may not like me after these next few chapters...

Luv
