Chapter twenty-one: Morning sickness

"At the risk of sounding a little pessimistic...How are we going to find someone you don't even know?" Jack asked as he looked up at Lynn's with his arms folded over his chest. Lynn just grinned.

"Doesn't that just add to the adventure? I asumed you of all people liked a challange." She stated. Jack couldn't help but smile at her statement. "Am I wrong?"

"No love, your completely right. But we are going to need some kind of starting point or else we might as well call the whole thing of."

"We can start with my aunt. Mother's sister. Mother used to tell me how she and aunt Rachel used to share everything. She might know something." Jack nodded.

"And were would we find this aunt Rachel?"

"England." Lynn answered with a nervous smile. Jack grimaced, he was wanted in England. And not just for piracy. England was a part of him he would much rather forget. But when he looked up at Lynn and saw her smile he knew he had to go. He'd just have to watch his step.

"England it is then love." He grinned.


"How long have you been back on the Pearl?" Will asked Annamaria as she was working on the sails.

"Not long, he just picked me up in Tortuga a few weeks ago." Will nodded.

"Did you slap him again?" Annamaria snickered.

"Nah...I punched him." Will chuckled.

"Good, he had it comming I'm sure."

"Actually it was more stressrelieve, but I heard what had happened between him and Elizabeth. I'm sorry lad." Will gave a faint smile.

"She married Norrington you know. That's probably what I hate the most. That he got what he wanted."

"Damaged goods?" Annamaria grinned.

"Right."

"So if yer so angry with Jack...why are ye here?" Annamaria asked as she dropped her work and walked over to Will.

"I don't know. Lynn probably. Did Jack tell you she was blind?" Annamaria nodded.

"Over and over again. Said he never met someone as strong as her. But everytime I hear the story I have to wonder who the blind one is, cause it's beyond me how she managed to make all of you think she could see." Will nodded.

"I know. I felt so stupid when I first found out." He grinned.

"Don't blame ye lad. I would've know right away." She bragged.

"No you wouldn't...Lynn's a very talented actress." He stated.

"Sounds like you've got a soft spot for her to lad."

"I just worry about her. A pirate ship isn't exactly a safe place. Especialy for a pregnant woman." Will immediately slapped his hand over his mouth knowing he had said to much. Annamaria's eyes widened.

"She's pregnant?" she practicly yelled.

"Ssssh!" Will hissed as he pressed his hand over Annamaria's mouth so her curses and questions were smuttered by his palm.

"I'm gonna drop my hand now, if you promise to keep your voice down...Lynn doesn't want anybody else to know." Annamaria nodded and Will lowered his hand. Annamaria immediately slapped him across the face.

"What the hell were you thinking! Elizabeth marries Norrington so you just go and impregnate the first woman on your path! Fool!"

"Excuse me? Would you stop that!" Will yelled as he caught Annamaria's wrist. "It's not mine! It's Jack." Annamaria stared at Will for a while before going into a hysterical fit of laughter.

"Jack...a dad?" she laughed as he held her sides when they began to hurt from laughter.

"I know. That's how I would've reacted if Lynn hadn't been in the same room as me." Will chuckled. "I offered to marry her you know...take care of her and the baby." Annamaria looked up in surprise.

"You did?"

"She turned me down, she wanted to know Jack's reaction to the news first." Annamaria nodded in understanding.

"Then I wouldn't get me hopes up lad. Jack loves the lass and he would do anything for her. Even if it meant playing house."


Annamaria woke up the next morning as Lynn ran out of the cabin. Slowly she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and followed the girl out on deck where she found Lynn trowing up over the side of the ship.

"Ye allright lass?" she asked. Lynn looked up at her as she whiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Probably something I ate." Lynn muttered. Annamaria nodded.

"Strange...we all had the same thing to eat and the rest of us aren't sick." Lynn thought, desperately looking for an explaination.

"Maybe it's morning sickness." Lynn felt her face heat up at Annamaria's words. "Will told me. Slip of the tongue. Don't worry, I won't tell anybody."

"Thanks" Lynn said softly as she tried to walk away when Annamaria stopped her.

"I wish you'd tell Jack...he loves you lass, so he made a mistake. You're carrying a child. Wouldn't it be for the better to forgive him? At least for your kid?" Lynn smiled.

"He slept with another woman." Lynn stated.

"He's Jack, he's weak when it comes to women. Be glad he's learned his lesson now in stead of later, cause you know he won't be as stupid to do it again." Annamaria explained.

"You can't be sure of that!"

"Think about this then...while you were gonne, Jack hasn't even flirted with another woman!"

"How can you know that? Jack said you've only been here for a few weeks."

"But Gibbs has been here the entire time." Lynn fell silent for a while.

"No women at all? Not even a wink?" she asked. Annamaria shook her head. Lynn opened her mouth to speak again when the door to Jack's cabin opened and the captain walked towards them.

"Goodmorning love...Annamaria." Annamaria greeted him back while Lynn just stared at him, looking for proof to Annamaria's words.

"Love?" Jack asked when he noticed her staring.

"Uhm...goodmorning." she quickly said, her voice barely more then a whisper.

"You allright love?" Jack asked concerned. Lynn nodded.

"Yes...fine."

"Good." He said eying her suspiciously "I was just making arrangements for us to get some supplies. Then we'll be ready to head for England."

"England?" Annamaria yelled in surprise. "But Jack your wanted there!" Lynn turned to Jack who seemed extremely nervous.

"I'm wanted everywere Anna, England is no diffrent."

"It isn't! What about mhemmmhaamhe!"

"It's not important!" Jack hissed as he lowered his hand from Annamaria's mouth.

"What is it with people shutting me up today?" Annamaria yelled before stomping of to her cabin.


"They'll probably stock up on supplies here. We should be able to tell how far they'll travel." Captain Morgan stated as he observed the Pearl.

"I'll make sure we stack up on whatever Sparrow gets. Then we should have enough." Nathan said as he paced back and forth. "Can you see Lynn?"

"No, she went below deck a few minutes ago. She was trowing up over the side of the ship earlyer though."

"She's sick?" Nathan asked, a hint of concern in his voice.

"Could be something she ate."

"Let me know if it happens again." Nathan stated. "I don't want anything to happen to my wife before I get a change to show her her place!"
