Reviewers: LUV YA'LL

I love you. I couldn't get it out of my head. It was near daybreak and I was up on deck reminiscing about Jack's words to me last night. How could I forget that? I love you. Those 3 simple words were turned into dastardly heart wrenching ones. The one thing that has me stumped is, I said it back. Why on Earth did I say it back? I know I didn't mean it; I was caught up in the moment. Oh, I would give anything to let myself think that. I think a bit of me does love Jack but a lot of me thinks of him as a friend.

I love you. I shook my head trying to get those words out of my head. What would my father think? Me, in love with a pirate. He would probably disown me for all I know. It's not up to him though, to pick who I love. There is nothing wrong with falling for a pirate after all. Lizzie fell for one. Well, he didn't know he was until last year I believe.

"Samantha?" Someone said from behind me. I turned around and saw Ana.

"Morning." I said forcing a smile.

"What are ye doing up 'ere so early?" She asked concerned.

"Just watching the sunrise." I said quickly.

"Right, that's why ye are looking on the wrong side of tha ship." I had been caught. "What's wrong? Is Jack bothering you?"

"What? Why would you say that?"

"I don't know. Jack's a womanizer, he can do anything ta make a man sleep wif him. Trust me from personal experience." I looked at her shocked.

"You mean…you and Jack?" She nodded. "You of all people."

"Jack has his ways. Anyway, ye can tell me what 'appened."

"Oh alright…" Just then, the crew began to come on deck and I silently praised and thanked them in my head. "Oh well, looks like I can't tell you now!" I tried to slink away but she grabbed me.

"Italian savvy?"

"Savvy." I muttered. "Bene, lei sa come il Jack ha preso bevuto ieri sera." (Well, you know how Jack got drunk last night.)

"Si." Ana replied. (Yes.)

"Il genere di Jack di, me ha detto me ha amato e me ha baciato poi." (Jack sort of, told me he loved me and then kissed me.)

"CHE!" Ana exploded. The crew looked over and shook there heads. (What!)

"Tenere la sua voce giù! Sì, tutto successo ciò ama appena." I said snapping my fingers to emphasize my point. (Keep your voice down! Yes, it all happened just like that.)

"Vado uccidere il Jack. ..hold su." Ana said with fire in her eyes and she took out her pistol and began to walk down the stairs. (I am going ta kill Jack…hold on.)

"ANA! No." I yelled grabbing her. She started fighting me and soon we were in an all out war in the hallway.

"Let me at him." Ana growled trying to throw me off her back.

"No!"

"Don't make me hurt ye!"

"Try your worst Ana…BANANA!" I said jumping off of her.

"What did ye call me?" She hissed.

"Ana…BANANA!" I screamed. She lunged at me and tackled me to the ground I was about to hit her when she cocked her gun in my face. We looked at each other and burst out laughing. She got off of me and helped me up.

"Well, that was fun." I chuckled.

"Aye." Ana replied.

"Would ye both shut yer mouths!" Jack tried to scream. "Me head…" Before I could react Ana ran into the room and started cursing.

"HOW COULD YE DO THA'?" Ana screamed in his face. Jack winced in pain.

"DO WHA'?" Jack shouted back. Ana looked at me.

"You mean he doesn't know!"

"Umm…no." I smiled.

"Tell him…or I will."

"Go right ahead."

"YE KISSED HER AND TOLD HER YE LOVE HER!" Ana roared. I looked at her in awe.

"I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD ANA!"

"Luv…is she kiddin'?" Jack asked in hopes that she was. I shook my head. "Oh no…first I kidnap tha princess and now I kiss her and tell her I love her. What's next…sex?"

"GOD NO!" I shouted. Jack sighed.

"Perv." I thought.

"Luv, I didn' mean it."

"I know you didn't Jack…ass. Ha, Jack-ass."

"Whatever ye do…DON'T TELL YER FATHER!"

"And why not?"

"Cause he will kill me and I don't need ta be killed right now. Why on earth did I kiss ye…I don't feel good, do I look hot cause I feel very…" Jacks head spun back as his face connected with Ana's hand.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Jack shouted glaring at Ana.

"Ye were going crazy." She replied calmly.

"No, I wasn't! Tha only crazy one here is ye."

"Jack…" Ana warned putting her hand up again. Jack cringed.

"I didn't mean it!"

"Ye better not 'ave meant it."

"You two fight like an old married couple." I said looking at the ceiling. The silence caused me to look down and see the horrifying expressions on both of their faces. I snorted. "It's true."

"I would never marry her." Jack said.

"Same."

"Don't ye mean 'him?" Jack asked.

"No…I would never marry her." Ana said pointing at Jack.

"Bloody women."

"Can you two stop fighting for one moment? Listen to me, I don't care that Jack kissed me. He was drunk, I know it meant nothing. Savvy?" I said.

"Savvy." Ana and Jack said. Ana with a frown, and Jack with a smile on his face.

"Good. Now let's go out onto the deck." I replied running out of the room to look for a pregnant woman.

"Lizzie?" I whispered peaking my head into her room.

"Yes." She muttered into the pillow.

"How are you feeling?"

"Sick to my stomach."

"Please, do not puke on me." I shuddered.

"I won't." She replied groggily.

"I have some news for you."

"You are pregnant too?"

"Hell no, Jack kissed me."

"He did what?" She shouted sitting up a bit too fast. The slowly fell back onto the pillow and looked at me.

"Do I have to say it again?"

"Yes."

"Jack kissed me and said he loved me."

"Jack, in love. Never thought that would happen. Congratulations and you said you'd never fall in love." Lizzie laughed. "You owe me money."

"He was drunk." I said sticking my tongue out at her.

"Curses…did you tell him?"

"Right now."

"How did he take it?"

"Like a woman. He freaked out but then Ana sorted it all out."

"Ana?"

"Yes Ana."

"Do me a favour?"

"Anything Liz."

"Go ask Will to make a cucumber, raisins and chicken sandwich."

"Sure." I said. "Nasty sandwich though." I shook my head and walked out to find Will.

"WILLIAM!" I shouted. "Oh where are you?"

"Behind you."

"I knew that." I said turning around. "Your wife wants you to make her a cucumber, raisin and chicken sandwich." I laughed at Will's face. He look disgusted.

"I hate pregnancy cravings." Will murmured jumping down the stairs.

"Only 9 more months to go Will!" I yelled to him.

"Thanks Sam." Will said sarcastically. I laughed and turned back around to find Mr. Gibbs questioning me.

"Is it true? Did Jack kiss ye?"

"Ana, you have a big mouth." I shouted to her. She just laughed. "Yes…but he was drunk." I told the crowd that had gathered reassuringly.

"Well lass, maybe he wasn't. Jack has never been in true love before ye know. Don't ye like him? Every other woman does." Jacobs told me.

"First off," I began losing my patience. "I am not like those whores in Tortuga and secondly, I do not like him like that I think he is a rude, inconsiderate, drunk, pathetic…and he's right behind me isn't he?" I asked by the looks on their faces. They slowly nodded. I turned around and saw Jack looking very angry.

"Rude…inconsiderate, drunk and pathetic? Do ye want to continue!" Jack yelled.

"Yes actually."

"Well ye aren't!"

"Calm yourself! I'm just stating the obvious."

"Luv…yer a pain in tha arse."

"I know." I said smiling smugly. "I get it from my father."

"Tha king? He's an ass?" Jack asked smiling. "Now I heard everythin'." Jack went to the helm as I continued talking to Ana and Gibbs.

"He likes ye." Gibbs informed me.

"Please…that thought is nauseating."

"Aye." Ana agreed. I laughed.

"How would you know…you old fart?" I asked Gibbs.

"I've known Jack since he was a wee one. I know I was a sailor but I was a good friend of his fathers. Good kid, rambunticious but a good kid. He swore he would never fall in love but I think that's a promise he just broke." Gibbs said taking out a flask. I was amazed; Jack and I had the same promise. "And ye did too."

"What?" I shouted at Gibbs.

"Nothing."

"Will told you didn't he?"

"No….yes, well…yeah."

"WILLIAM!" I screamed jumping down the stairs two at a time.

"In here." He called not knowing what was coming to him. I waltzed right into the room and greeted Will with a smack in the face.

"What was that for?"

"For telling Gibbs our secret!"

"Gibbs told you? I mean what? I would never."

"You are lying again!"

"Alright, alright. So I told Gibbs, you told Jack about me wearing a dress."

"That's because I was drunk."

"So was I!"

"Oh…" I said feeling foolish. "He failed to mention that. Um, sorry?"

"You're forgiven." Will smiled. "You hit hard."

"I learned from the best." I smiled and nudged him.

"Did I miss something?" Liz asked through a mouthful of sandwich.

"Only your manners. Damn, Lizzie…close your mouth. Oh God, I sound like you." I sighed pointing at her.

"And that's a bad thing?" She asked as I walked out the door.

"It's a horrible thing."

"Just who I was lookin' for." Jack smiled dragging me to the helm.

"What do you want now?" I asked.

"I need ye to steer tha ship for a while."

"What?" I asked him flabbergasted.

"Ye heard me."

"I know, but I thought no one sails your beloved ship except you, Ana and Gibbs?"

"Well, yer an exception fer today…savvy?"

"Savvy." I blushed. God, what was this man doing to me. I, Samantha, never blushed. That is a word that is neither in my vocabulary nor in any of my actions. Jack flashed me a smile and I felt my knees buckle. There was no doubting it and finally, I'm willing to admit it. I'm in love, but…I just can't get hurt again.

"Luv…are ye ok?" Jack asked concerned.

"Oh I'm fine." I said snapping out of it. Jack studied me for a second longer before going below deck.

(Jack's P.O.V)

I don't know why I did it so don't ask me. Letting her steer the ship was my decision and I think it was a bloody good one. I walked into the galley and saw the Turners in a deep, personal discussion so naturally, I had to know.

" 'Ello mates." I said grinning. Will jumped and Elizabeth looked at me. Even in a day that woman had put on quite a few pounds. "What are ye talkin' about?"

"Nothing." Elizabeth hiccupped.

"He deserves to know." Will told her. The eunuch turned to me, ignoring Elizabeth's protest and began to tell me the tale of Samantha and her first love. "Sam always vowed never to fall in love. She thought it was a waste of time and so did I but that was before I met Elizabeth. Now, Sam fell in love with a man named Hugh DiFrancesco. They were nuts about each other and that was the first time Sam admitted to being in love but to this day she denies it."

"Why?" I asked interested.

"Hugh wasn't all he turned out to be." Elizabeth explained. "On their wedding day, Sam was going by the church and slipped in to witness Hugh marrying the village whore, Andria Cartonelli. As the hour of her wedding approached, Sam got all ready and she looked gorgeous. I remember her dazing out and slowly she began to say something to herself as Hugh was reciting his vows. She was saying 'For hating you I blame myself.' When he began to put the ring on her finger she grabbed it, threw it at him and spit on him. She ran off the altar and pushed everyone out of the way and just ran out of the church. She didn't return until early morning, her dress was torn and she was drenched in blood, tears and mud. That's when she promised herself from that point on she'd never love again."

"Poor lass." I felt bad for her. Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow, felt bad for her. There was something about her that drew her to me. "How could a bastard do tha' to her? If I ever met him I'd strangle the bastard for hurting me lass."

"Your lass?" Will asked amused.

"Oh…sod off the pair of ye."

"Jack you love her. Give in to it." Elizabeth smiled.

"No."

"Where is your heart?"

"I don't 'ave one." I muttered going back out on deck. I looked up at the helm and saw Samantha there, laughing…
