That night Ruby stood on the deck of the ship staring at the island as the crew brought the treasure over in the row boat. The crew had barely spoken to her all day, when Jack had told them where the treasure was she had stood behind him silently and looking like she was in a completely different place, they had figured that she just didn't want to be bothered. Even Jack let her be for the day, except for insisting that she be on the first boat that went back to the Pearl.

Now she stood as the sun set and the little row boat was headed back to the island to pick up another load. Ruby had to admit she as if a heaviness had been lifted off of her, the treasure had been found and she no longer useful to anyone who wanted it. Jack was the one who carried the burden now, he had the jewel. Creasing her brow Ruby suddenly started to think of her marriage in a different light, maybe it wasn't so bad. She knew Jack was benefiting off of her by getting the jewel, but she was benefiting as well, eventually it would get known that the treasure had been found and she wouldn't have to worry about everyone she came into contact with. Also Jack had been true to his word, he had the treasure and he still wanted her.

Turning from the railing she was leaning on she looked at the crew who were overjoyed with the find. Most were in disbelief that they were in possession of the Hellstorm treasure. Ruby was still numb over the treasure, she just gazed over the chests of gold that sat on the deck. The ruby she presumed was still with Jack who was now over seeing the treasure. Walking away from the railing Ruby silently head to Jack's cabin, she was starting to feel tired as she realized that she had spent almost the whole day mentally analyzing her life and everything in it.

Jack glanced over to where he had seen Ruby standing but she was now gone. Casually he looked over his shoulder and seen her walking towards the cabin. She had been silent all day, Jack assumed it was because she had been on the island and thoughts of her father. Since she had kept to herself all day and seemed to want it that way Jack had given her space. He reached into his jacket pocket as he looked back at the treasure and felt the stone in his pocket. No matter how many times he looked at the stone he still couldn't believe he had it. The golden case the ruby was in was in his cabin.

Later that evening Jack walked into his cabin, the celebration his crew was having was starting to die down and still he had not seen Ruby since she had first gone into his cabin. He half expected her to be in bed sleeping but he found her sitting on the bed looking at her ring, the golden case it had opened sat on the desk. Jack watched her as he walked over to the desk and set his bottle of rum down.

"Ye okay love?" asked Jack as he walked over to the bed and sat down on the opposite side of the bed. He kicked off his boots and laid back on the bed with her arms crossed behind his head. Ruby shifted over and looked at him.

"Yes," said Ruby, she wasn't frowning and she didn't look angry, Jack was relieved he at least wanted a couple of days without Ruby furious with him. Sometimes he didn't understand what he did to make her mad but he didn't all out dislike it, it kept things interesting and it made Ruby her real self, when she was mad she wasn't some high society lady, she wasn't of royal blood, she was just Ruby, a pirate's daughter.

"Ya've been awfully quiet there love, ye still sure yer okay?" asked Jack.

"Yes,"insisted Ruby as she took her ring off and set it on the small table she had dragged over to her side of the bed when she had first boarded the ship, "I have just been thinking today."

"Thinking 'bout what love?"

Ruby sighed and rolled her eyes as she looked down at Jack and considered telling him what she had been thinking about all day.

"I was thinking about how maybe you have done me a favor," said Ruby softly as she leaned over to him. Jack looked up at her curiously, he had expected her to say many things to him but not that he had done her a favour.

"A favour ye say?"asked Jack. Ruby nodded as she shifted down in the bed so she was now sitting next to Jack with her back resting against the wall.

"Well if you think about it, I am now useless to anyone looking for that treasure, you are the hunted one now, you have the treasure," said Ruby.

"Aye, well they can join the mob of others ta join who 're chasin' me round," smirked Jack. Ruby raised an eyebrow at him before she rolled off the bed and stood up. Carefully she undressed, laying the dress over the back of a random. She turned back to the bed to find Jack staring at with a lazy smirk on his face, Ruby ignored him as she climbed into bed and under the cover. Slowly Jack rolled over onto his side and looked down at Ruby who had the sheet pulled up over her breasts.

"Jack," said Ruby softly, "I still want to go to India." Jack looked at her cautiously, he was sure they had an agreement, she was going to stay with him. Slowly Jack pulled back away from her as Ruby followed him and sat up.

"Yer not stayin?" asked Jack, Ruby smiled as she heard the hurt in Jack's voice.

"Sparrow,"said Ruby shaking her head, "I want to go to India to visit my mother, she does not even know I am married." Jack looked in thought for a moment, going to India wasn't at the top of his list of things he wanted to do, if he were to go back to India he'd have to watch his every step for if he was caught he'd be killed sight on seen. But Ruby wanted to go and it wasn't fair not to let her.

"Ya do realize I might not be able ta take ya," said Jack, "Anamarie'll be the one ta."

"Why Anamarie?" asked Ruby.

"Cause Ana'd be one of the very few on this ship not wanted by the bloody King's men and she won't be stickin' out like the rest of me crew,"said Jack. Ruby nodded as she seemed to natural curl into Jack's body for the night.
