I heard the lunch bell ring as me and Anamaria parted. I headed toward the helm and she headed the other direction to the dinning hall. Jack stood by the wheel smiling at me as I approached him. He walked out around the wheel and wrapped an arm about my waist.

"Are ye ready ta face me crew?" Jack asked me noticing how nervous I was. I smiled as best as I could and looked him in the eyes.

"I think so Jack." He smiled and kissed me softly. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He lowered his hands to rest on my bottom, gently giving a squeeze. I jumped into him, which made him smile even more. I couldn't help but smile back and hit him in the chest playfully. He smiled and pulled me close to him again, kissing me softly. "Come on Jack. We should get down there." I said after braking the kiss. He smiled and nodded in agreement. He took my hand and lead the way down into the big dinning hall.

Once in the dinning hall Jack pulled out the chair to his left for me and waited till I sat down. He then scooted me in just a little. I watched him as he moved to his seat but didn't sit down. Instead he stood there and cleared his throat. Soon the hole room fell into an eased silence. Jack took my hand then began to talk.

"Gentleman, and Anamaria." He said motioning to the crew. "I'd like to make an announcement." There was a little chatter in the room and Jack waited for it to calm down. "As some of you might be aware. I was going to propose to Jasmine. When I found the opportune moment that is, and last night as you all know. We had a little," He paused searching for the right word but not quite finding it.

"Disturbance?" I chimed in looking around at the crew. Jack looked down at me and smiled his thanks.

"Aye. Disturbance, So last night I finally did it. I proposed and Jasmine has accepted." The whole room went into a frenzy. There were cheers and people hollering. I smiled and tugged Jack's hand affectionately. He smiled and then a crew member stood and yelled above the rest.

"This calls fer a celebration!" I smiled even wider as it became even louder. Jack held up his hands in a motion for silence and the crew complied.

"Aye. We sha'll celebrate, but fer now. We eat!. Gibbs." Jack called out and Gibbs stood.

"Aye Cap'n!" Gibbs smiled at me and nodded to aknowledge me. I smiled and gave a small nod back.

"We set sail fer Port Royal tomorrow mornin'." Gibbs smiled and Saluted Jack playfully.

"Aye, Aye Cap'n." He then sat back down and began to eat. Jack and I held hands the whole while we ate. Afterwards we went back on deck to be surprised that the crew had a blanket out on the deck and Candles lit all around the blankets. A bottle of fine wine sat in a cooler near the blanket. Tears filled my eyes as I turned to hug Gibbs. He smiled and shooed the rest of the crew into the crew's quarters and let me and Jack, (With the exception of the look out Anamaria) Have the whole deck. I walked over to the railing and looked up at the stars. They shone so bright out here. It was so amazing. Jack came over not long after me and wrapped himself around me in a possessive hold. I smiled as his lips brushed against my neck.

"Jack it's positively lovely out here." He smiled against my neck and kissed my cheek.

"I thought you'd like this." He stated letting me go and walking over to the blanket. He sat on blanket and waited for me to come over and join him. He took the cork out of the wine bottle and poured wine in two glasses. I smiled and held mine up in a toasting fashion.

"Here's to us Jack." He smiled and was quick to add.

"Let us be together for ever." I smiled and kissed him before clinking our glasses together and taking a sip. I let the little bit of hot liquid run down my throat. The liquid tasted bitter but it felt good running it's long smooth journey down my throat. I watched as Jack downed his with one gulp and laughed.

"Ye don know how good that tastes fer me." He looked at the now empty glass and then back at me. "That be the first drink ye allowed me ta take." I smiled and took another sip this time not swallowing. I leaned toward him and pressed my lips to his. He opened his mouth and I let the liquid run into his own mouth. I swallowed my half and smiled at him.

"I love you Jack." He kissed me and pulled me onto his lap holding me close and inhaling my scent.
