I saw Jack standing at the helm and moved up the stairs to him. We waved Will and Elizabeth off together. I looked at Jack who by now was shouting out orders and was lacing an arm about my waist. I frowned remembering what I had to inform him of. I hoped he would take it as well as it could be taken. I turned to face him once we had reached open sea and looked at him. He smiled at me and kissed me.

"So how be our little one?" He asked. I frowned and looked out on deck.

"Mr. Gibbs take the wheel." I called out pulling Jack into his cabin. He smiled at how good I was with ordering the men around. We got in the cabin and I made him sit on the bed. I walked over to his rum cabinet and got him a bottle of his rum. He looked at me weird."Drink some please Jack. It will make me feel a little better about what I'm going to have totell you." I said starting to pace the room. Jack stood and laid the bottle on our bed.

"Darlin' ye better tell me now. I'm in the bestest mood to take bad news now." I wanted to correct his bad grammar but I brushed it off. I felt hot tears returning to my eyes.

"Jack…" I trailed off. I was never good at giving bad news. "The babies. Well, the babies dead." Jack looked at me shocked. He sat on the edge of the bed and I could see the tears behind his eyes.

"How'd he die?" Jack's voice was shaking and un-nervingly weak. I sat beside him and he looked me in the eye.

"When Darso kicked me in the stomach the blow was hard enough to kill the baby on impact." I said hot tearsfalling down my face. He wrapped his strong arms around me and held me close to him. The two of us sat on the bed and cried. He held me close to him and I could feel his hot tears running down off his cheeks and onto my head. I buried my head in his chest and cried myself to sleep.

I woke up to the sound Jack shouting outorders to the crew on deck. I sat up and went over to the trunk where our clothes were stored. I opened the trunk and pulled out a pair of Jack's loose fitting pants and a white shirt. I used a belt to hold the pants to my body. Finding my boots on the other side of the trunk, I pulled them on. Now being fully dressed and feeling ready to face the crew, I stepped out onto the deck of the Pearl. She looked Marvelous today, but the sky didn't. There was a gray haze that hung around the ship. The haze gave the ship an eerie yet beautiful look. I wish the baby would have been able to see it. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Jack coming toward me. He was smiling at me, it was his trade mark smile. The one that always makes me smile. He walked right up to me, placing his body right against mine. I instantly wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Are ye feelin' any better." He asked as he kissed me back. I loved the feel of his lips. There was nothing better.

"It still hurts a little to know that we aren't going to be parents." I said a frown crossing my face. He looked down into my eyes and I could see he was still upset about it, but he'd be damned if the crew was going to see it.

"We'll try again love." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "I promise." He added quickly, wrapping his arms about me in a loving embrace. The rocking of the ship felt wonderful, almost comforting.

"It's looking gray out today?" He looked up at the sky and frowned.

"We're gonna get a big storm today." He said finally looking back down at me. The crew was finishing up readying for the storm when drops of rain started to fall. Then the rainfall increased steadily. I pulled away from Jack and spun around in the rain. It had been so long since the last time I was out in the rain. I had almost forgotten how the rain felt. I smiled and let the rain hit my face. I could feel Jack's eyes on me, but I didn't care who was watching me. To my people the rain was considered sacred. Jack came over and kissed me one last time then went to the helm. I spent the next hour or so enjoying the steady rainfall. Then it started to thunder and lightning so I went back into the cabin. I was about to undress when there was a knock on the door. I walked over still dripping wet in the white shirt, and opened the door.

"Yes?" I asked seeing that it was only the Cabin boy. He was young probably about 19. I smiled, but he blushed and looked down at the floor offering the plate.

"Cap'n says ye're ta eat." I smiled and took the plate. He looked into my eyes and I smiled wider. A small bashful smile crossed his lips. I nodded to him.

"Thank you good sir." He blushed even harder and turned to leave. I shut the door and put the plate on the table finally sitting down to eat. It wasn't my favorite, but it tasted good after not eating for two days. Once I was sure that the food was staying down, I stood and undressed laying down on the bed exhausted. I smiled and closed my eyes just to rest them.
