The little Kiss that seemed to rejoin Jack and Anamaria's relationship turned into an all night thing. They didn't get round to finishing their conversation, and the next thing they knew was when Amelia's little face was peering down at them as she shook them awake.
"Ello trouble." Jack's voice showed he was far from awake, but just enough to satisfy the little lass before she started jumping on the bed giggling madly. Both Jack and Ana stayed where they were though, wound in each others arms, and didn't make a move to catch their daughter.
"Wake up." No response. "Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!" On the last scream Amelia managed to lose her balance and topple off the bed. It didn't take long for her parents to move then.
Luckily she didn't get anything more serious then a bump on the head, since Anamaria had cleaned up in the cabin the day before, removing all litter (including broken rum bottles), which meant there was nothing dangerous for her daughter to fall onto. Just because she hadn't sustained a serious injury doesn't mean she was howling the place down. For the first time in so many months, it was Anamaria who calmed her down. Jack also too note that it took far less time than when anyone else did it.
Grabbing the little girl and swinging her on to the bed she once again burst into fits of giggles. Plonking Millie between Jack and her self, the next hour or so went on to be torture for the little girl, as she couldn't get away from the hands of her parents tickling.

Finding she was exhausted from all the laughing she had done, Amelia was asleep in the middle of her parent's bed, with them either side.
"We never did quite finish off that conversation last night did we…" Jack smiled as he watched his daughter sleep.
"No we err got a bit 'distracted'"
"That's one way o' puttin' it." Both pirates laughed gently.
"I suppose we should really tell th' crew your erm… back from th' dead."
"I suppose we should. Ha what do you think they've been thinkin' hearings' a woman's voice the last two nights?"
"Probably think I've got some 'pleasurable company' in here. Especially after the noise we made last night." Jack grinned a received a light thump from Ana.
"Jack?"
"Hum…"
"When are you setting sail again?" Jack frowned, and then suddenly realizing due to him being reunited with Anamaria, he had forgotten all his duties of Captain, and hadn't done anything about getting supplies. HE'd told the crew they would be settining sail at noon.
"Oh shit…" Ana watched as he jumped out of bed grabbing a few clothes as he went. "We'll talk later." Anamaria nodded and took a sleepy yawn.
"I'll stay-" Not quite finishing her conversation as she drifted back into the slumber her daughter had woken her from. Smling, Jack moved from the door back over to the bed, kissing both of them on the heads before reluctantly leaving.

As Jack left the cabin most of his crew were back on the ship already. As he walked towards Will he noticed he was getting quite a few dirty looks.
"Wha's their problem?" Will looked at Jack.
"You made enough noise last night to let just about everyone know what you were doing. Considering they don't know about Anamaria they think its disgusting that you're with a whore so soon."
"Ah."
"Ah indeed. I'm surprised your out of your cabin yet Jack. Still quite earlier, and I'm assuming you've managed to get Amelia back off the sleep so…?"
"It would seem I've been" Jack paused searching for the right words. "Neglecting my duties of captain the last few days and well… things have to be done."
"No they don't." Jack frowned.
"Sorry?"
"Me and Gibbs took care of it all. By the way when are you going to reveal to them that Anamaria is back? I'm getting quite sick of Gibbs calling me a liar, since he still doesn't believe me about her." A small grin appeared on his face.
"Soon boy, soon. I was wondering do you think it would be better before we set sail or after?" Will smiled, a thought suddenly accruing to him.
"I don't think you should tell them. I think you should just wait until they notice, you know her wondering around the ship talking to them in the usual way. Be far more interesting!"
"Indeed it would. Now ye sure ye've taken care of everything?"
"Yes Jack."
"The rum?"
"Plenty of it."
"Food?"
"More than enough for now." Jack nodded, there was nothing else to do but update the log books, and only the captain could do that. There was no repairs need doing, so he didn't have to ask about that. Feeling all was well with his ship he walked back to his cabin, just before he got to the door he turned back.
"Will?" Will didn't even bother looking up from what he was doing.
"Aye."
"If I'm not out at noon, come and get me. Savvy?"
"Aye captain." Jack smiled, and returned to his cabin where both his girls were still fast asleep. Resisting the urge to climb in beside them, Jack settled himself at his desk and started on the paperwork that needed to be doing…
