Reviewers: LUV YA'LL
"MORNING!" Barney shouted, tickling Jack.
"Don't ye ever touch me again…savvy!" Jack growled getting up.
"Touchie." Ana sniggered from outside.
"Very." I said standing right beside her. "While you two men recuperated from last night, we decided to get the supplies. So, we are all ready to go." Jack jumped up and hugged me and Ana.
"I LOVE YE BOTH!" He shouted, running over to the row boat. Will laughed and walked with us as we said good bye to the islanders.
"Thanks a lot Barney." I smiled.
"No thank you…" He leaned into me and whispered into my ear. "For bringing such lovely men." I snorted and hugged him good bye.
"We will never forget you." Ana said stepping into the row boat.
"ANA GET IN THE DAMN BOAT!" Jack shouted.
"And we won't either." Henry sobbed into Barney's shoulder as Jack rowed away.
"Well, that was definitely…entertaining." I proclaimed.
"Entertaining? Speak for yourself." Jack muttered angrily.
"Would she speak for ye?" Ana growled.
"Calm down. We're here." Will said. Jack jumped out of the row boat and hurried up to the ship. As soon as we were on the Pearl, Jack ran up to the helm and began kissing it in front of everyone.
"I will never, ever leave ye again." Jack whispered rubbing the wheel. Andrew stared up at him and I covered his eyes.
"Come along Andrew. You don't want to see your captain ogle his ship. You will loose respect for him." Andrew nodded and took Annabelle's hand and mine into his tiny ones. We made our way down the stairs and then Annabelle asked me a question.
"What was the Island like?"
"Gay." I giggled.
"Gay? How was it gay?"
"All the men on that island weren't into ladies." I sniggered. "You should have seen Jack's face. It was priceless."
"I bet it was." She laughed.
"JACK!" Ana screamed. "I've figured the rest of the map out! I know where we need ta go."
"Did you hear that?" I screeched. "We know where to go!" I ran out onto the deck to find out what was happening and where we needed to go. I stood beside Will and he told me what had happened so far. He didn't know I had heard it from below.
"When did this 'appen?" Jack asked. The crew explained while we were away having some 'fun' that they had figured out the map after a game of slap Jack.
"Never liked that game." Jack muttered rubbing his cheek. "Well, where do we hafta go?"
"We don't know." The crew murmured.
"What?"
"Only Ana does." Gibbs piped up. All heads shot towards Ana and she just looked at Jack with an evil grin spread across her face.
"Ana." Jack whispered dangerously. "Don't ye give me tha' look. Where do we need ta go?"
"I'm not saying…unless you let me sail there!"
"Are ye crazy, I ain't trustin' ye with me pride and joy."
"Talk about obsessed." I muttered to Will.
"I know." Will replied.
"Jack…IT'S A SHIP!" Ana screamed.
"SO?" Jack argued.
"YE ACT AS IF IT'S YER LOVER." She argued back. Jack walked over to Ana and in her face he whispered to her.
"Ye ain't sailing me ship and tha' is tha'."
"Then yer not getting ta tha' island and tha' is tha'." She mocked him and went downstairs. Jack's face was twisted into an ugly, (impossible for him) angered, impatient look and at any minute he was going to burst. So, it was time for me to take matters into my own hands.
"I'll go talk to her." I told Jack. All he could do it nod. I went down the stairs and followed the maniacal laughter to find Ana hiding in the supply room.
"Ana, get up." I sighed as I opened the door. She jumped.
"How did ye know I was in here?"
"Easy it was like a map. Follow the maniacal laughter and you will find Ana."
"So I'm like a treasure."
"A cursed one is more like it." She glared at me for a moment but then she stopped and turned to look out the window.
"He ain't gettin' it if he don't let me sail there!"
"You realize you are acting like a 2 year old."
"Yes I do and I don't care!"
"Ana, be reasonable…I'll get Jack to let you sail the Pearl." Ana glanced at me with a suspicious look.
"What are ye gonna do…seduce him?" She said as she threw her arms up in the air.
"NO!" I shouted. "I'll tempt him with his one love."
"An' what would tha' be?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Rum."
"Jack! I need to talk to you." I said barging into his cabin.
"Mothers luv Sam! I could 'ave been undressing, well that probably wouldn't have bothered ye much." He said seductively.
"No it wouldn't have." Jack looked up at me.
"Really luv?"
"No, it would have disgusted me to no end!" Jack frowned.
"What is it ya want?" He asked impatiently.
"Ana told me where you have to go." Jack shot up like a rocket and stared at me.
"Yer lying."
"I would never…" Jack gave me a look of disbelief. "Ok, maybe I would but I'm not right now!"
"Ye swear?"
"Every damn day."
"Thas' not what I meant."
"I know…Jack I will tell you, only if you let Ana sail there."
"WHAT?"
"It's the only way." I explained as calmly as I could.
"YER JUST AS EVIL AS HER! YER BOTH IN THIS TOGETHER I BET!"
"Jack…SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" He glared at me.
"EVERY SINCE YE CAME ON THE PEARL YE'VE BEEN A NUISANCE YE KNOW!" I looked at Jack.
"So, that doesn't bother me." I whispered. Truthfully, it hurt a lot. I was just beginning to like Jack but now, well…I don't know. I'm sure Jack noticed I was hurt so he sighed and walked over to me.
"I didn' mean it luv. I 'ave a bad temper sometimes."
"I know…" I said. I hated myself for what I was about to do. "And this will probably make it worse." Jack looked at me and grimaced as I smashed one of his bottles of rum on the floor.
"LUV! WHAT DO YE THINK YER DOING?"
"MAKING YOU GIVE IN." I said smashing another one. Thanks goodness I was right near his cupboard of rum.
"Now Jack, you can make this easy on yourself." I said noticing the pained expression on his face each time I dropped a bottle. "There are only 35 left and I can smash them all unless you let Ana sail the ship."
"Never." Jack said stubbornly.
"Very well." I said, picking up and shattering another one.
"Let her!" I shouted. It had been 10 minutes and we were down to the last 3 bottles.
"FINE YE BLOODY WENCH!" Jack yelled.
"Good, here's the map. Ana has everything worked out and she'll tell you where to go after you've apologized to her."
"What? I ain't apologizing ta her." I picked up a bottle and Jack hung his head in defeat. "Alright, jus' don't 'urt her."
"Her?" I asked puzzled.
"Aye luv. Me rum is a lass. Ye see woman relate ta rum…they look good, smell good and ye'd run over yer own mother just ta get one." Jack's eyes glazed over as he envisioned rum and woman.
"Alright." I said hitting him lightly on his head. "Let's go." Jack got up and followed me. I came to a halt in the door which cause Jack to bump into me. We were so close. Thisclose. He wouldn't move.
"Jack?" I said turning around. I was a bit taken back, I had never even noticed how gorgeous he was.
"Aye luv." Jack whispered. I could smell the rum and sea on him. It was wonderful.
"Do we have an accord that she will sail the ship?" I stuck out my hand and Jack chuckled. He finally shook it.
"Aye luv. We do."
"Good."
"Will ye two stop bein' so lovy!" Ana commanded. I jumped and glared at her.
"We ain't lovers. She's to much of a snob ta be tha woman fer me." I elbowed him in the gut and he doubled over in pain.
"Was that too snobbish?" I asked and Ana laughed.
"No." Jack wheezed as soon as he was able to stand again.
"Ana, Jack here, has agreed to let you sail the ship to the Jagara Islands."
"Aye Luv. I 'ave." Jack said through gritted teeth.
"Thank ye, ye big baby." Ana said noticing Jack's attitude towards letting her sail the ship. "The Isla de Cabrerais about a week away from here, they are off the coasts of Majorca which is around Spain."
"Alright luv…I mean Ana." Jack said correcting himself as Ana glared at him.
"Oh Jack and I forgot to mention one tiny little thing. You know your rum?"
"Aye luv…the one's you smashed."
"Well, that wasn't exactly rum. You see, I dumped your rum into other empty rum bottles and filled those one's up with vinegar and hot sauce." Jack stared at me in awe his mouth was open and his lips were forming a 'o'.
"But…why?"
"Because I knew you wouldn't let her sail it without a devil's trade." I smirked walking up and onto the deck.
"She'd made a bloody good pirate." Jack said.
"Ye got tha right." Ana agreed.
I had escaped Jack without getting yelled at. My plan was pure genius.
"EVERY SINCE YE CAME ON THE PEARL YE'VE BEEN A NUISANCE YE KNOW!"
I couldn't help but think Jack meant that. I mean it was true I had caused nothing but trouble since I came aboard but, that isn't my fault. He brought me aboard and if was so annoyed by me he'd have to deal with it. It's not everyday he gets to be with me, Samantha, princess of Italia.
' Looks like you are in a snobby mood today.'
'Oh great, now my conscious is talking to me.' I thought.
'Well, I come in handy so quit complaining.'
'Ha! Handy for what? You have gotten me in trouble since I was eight years old!'
'Hey. You were the one who ticked off Captain Hordes by disabling the rutter change after I told you not to.'
'Well, he had that coming to him.' I thought, beginning to swab the deck.
'Well that may be so but still that was your own fault.'
'What is this? Pick on Samantha day! What are you here for?'
'I'm here to give you some advice. Don't let Jack tell you what to do. He has already ordered you around enough.'
'True!'
'And you are a beautiful, independent woman…'
'Damn straight.'
'Who can do anything she puts her mind too!'
'Yeah, that's right.' I nodded beginning to whisper lightly to myself.
'So from now on…you show him who's boss!'
"I WILL!" I shouted. All the chatter on deck stopped and I was getting stares from everyone.
"Samantha…" Will said from behind me. "I think you have been in the sun for too long."
"Luv, just go downstairs and get some rest. Ye need it."
"NO YOU NEED IT!" I said as I flung open the door and stomped down the stairs.
"I honestly didn' do anything ta her mate." Jack said to Will.
I halted in the hallway and suddenly realized my stupid conscious had gotten me to yell at him for no reason.
"Stupid conscious." I muttered. "I wonder where Liz is…I haven't seen her in days." I looked in every room starting with the galley, then I moved onto the supply room, Jack's cabin, Ana's, Gibbs and lastly the crew quarters and I found her in there sobbing on the floor.
"Liz!" I said alarmed. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Sam! I haven't seen you in days." She said wiping the tears from her face.
"What's wrong?" I asked sitting down on the floor beside her.
"Nothing! Why would you say something like that?"
"Well maybe is the sad look upon your tear-stricken face." She looked down and began crying again. "Please Liz. I'm your best friend, you can tell me."
"I'm pregnant." She sobbed.
"Liz!" I shouted excited. "You silly girl, that's a good thing you know!" I pulled her into a giant hug but she just sat there lifeless and with no emotion upon her face.
"I know it is, but what will Will think?" She asked sadly.
"He'll be so happy…wait, you mean you haven't told him yet?" She shook her head and I stared at her in disbelief.
"You are telling him now." I said.
"No Samantha…this will only end in disaster. Please, not right now…not ever." She pleaded.
"Elizabeth Turner you are telling him today or I'll tell him now if you don't!"
"He's not going to like this." She said as I dragged her out of the room and on deck.
"Oh for Christ's sakes Elizabeth, you're his bloody wife and I know more about him then you do." I looked around and tried to find Will in the crowd of the crew but he wasn't there. "JACK!"
"Aye?" Jack replied from the helm.
"Where is Will?"
"Oh the eunuch. He's in his cabin luv."
"Thanks. Let's go tell him Liz." I pulled her down the stairs.
"Tell who?" Ana called.
"What's she up ta?" Gibbs wondered.
"Let's go see." Jack said. "Jacobs! Take the helm for a moment."
"Will!" I greeted barging into his cabin. "Elizabeth here has some wonderful news to tell you." I pushed her in front of me and she just stared at Will with a small smile. I nudged her.
"Will, I don't exactly know how to tell you this but…I'm pregnant." Will stared at Liz for a while which made her uncomfortable.
"I told you he wouldn't like this." She whispered to me but right after she said that she was picked up and spun around in Wills arms.
"Elizabeth! Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He asked showering her with kisses.
"Nasty." I muttered lightly so they wouldn't hear me.
"I thought you would be angry." She blushed.
"Are you daft?"
"Like Jack." Will laughed.
"HEY!" Came an angry voice from outside.
"Shut up ye fool!" A female said which followed a yelp.
"Yer both noisy." Said a third voice. I went over to the door and opened it and laughed when I saw who it was.
"My, aren't we nosy." I said referring to Ana, Jack and Gibbs.
"Ignore her…" Jack began. "Elizabeth. Congratulations luv."
"Thank you Jack."
"Miss Elizabeth congratulations to ye and to ye to Will."
"Thank you Gibbs."
"Will!" Ana exclaimed. "Way ta go. Congratulations ta you to Liz but we hafta congratulate Will too. After all, he did help." Everyone laughed.
"Ana…" Jack said.
"Aye."
"Get yer arse back on the helm."
"But…"
"Now luv, ye wanted ta sail it."
"Damnit." She cursed walking out the door. "Night Will, Elizabeth."
"Goodnight." They called to her.
"Samantha…thank you." Elizabeth said to me.
"It was no problem." I smiled.
"Luv are ye coming?" Jack said in the doorway.
"Coming where? Are we going to France!"
"I mean ta the bedroom." Jack sighed.
"Oh. Yes, I'm coming." I said hugging them both. I made my way to the bedroom and Jack was already under the covers and half way asleep.
"Must be tired." I said to myself.
"Ye have no idea."
"I thought you were asleep."
"Almost, until yer big mouth woke me up luv."
"Oh, do shut up." I said annoyed.
"Touchy."
"Do you always have to make fun of me? I mean do you wake up and decide 'Hm, maybe I'll pick on Samantha today?' It gets annoying you know!"
"Luv…" Jack said shocked. "I thought nothing bothered ye, the princess."
"You are a real creep." I replied sitting down on the chair. "You don't know what its like to be me ok!"
"It can't be that hard, after all yer dad must give you everything ye want."
"SHUT UP! You don't know what it's like to have everyone watching you and judging you all the time. How you have to be perfect or people shun you because you are different. I have people always watching me, people telling me what to do and how to act ok! I don't need you to make things worse for me."
"Luv, calm down."
"NO! You are so lucky. You have everything…freedom, independence and no one telling you what to do." The next thing I do Jack had come over to me and put his hand on my mouth.
"Luv ye really hafta calm down. Listen ta me cause this is tha last time I tell ye. So listen up Savvy?" I nodded and he took his hand off my mouth. "What did I tell ye last time?"
"Not to let anyone tell me what ta do?"
"Exactly…now, are ye goin' ta listen ta me for once in yer life?"
"AYE!" I said giving him a mock salute.
"That's me lass." Jack laughed.
"And you know what, I've said this once and I'll say it again. You are not one of those ruthless, cheating pirates."
"Thank ye luv."
"But deep insider yer still that annoying, ruthless, roguish…"
"Hey!"
"…charming Captain. Happy I gave you a compliment." I said fumbling with my hair.
"Luv I just remembered something."
"And what would that be?" I said tying my hair with the ribbon off my dress.
"Remember our little 'adventure' on that island?" Jack shuddered.
"Island? Oh, the gay one." I laughed.
"Aye luv. Well, if I can remember ye lost yerself a bet."
"Oh yeah…that's right." I said smiling at Jack. "Jack…it's to hot to have my hair down. Plus… it's too long."
"A deal is a deal luv. We shook on it."
"No we didn't!" I protested.
"Well, don't make me not trust ya anymore luv."
"Fine…" I gave in. I pulled the ribbon out of my hair and let my long, chestnut brown hair fall down to the middle of my back.
"Beautiful." Jack said to himself.
"Aw, I was complimented by the infamous Jack Sparrow." I joked.
"Ye should be honoured." Jack muttered lying down on the bed again.
"Oh please." I laughed, getting comfortable which was hard when Jack never stopped moving. "Jack quit moving."
"It's my bed I'll move if I want ta."
"Fine." I sighed. Jack finally found a comfortable position and stopped moving. In no time I had fallen asleep.
