Chapter 15
"Land ho!" a crew member yelled heartily.
The Interceptor pulled into the harbor at Tortuga, a place all too familiar to Arielle. Jack escorted her out of his boat (hahaha boat) with one hand protectively around her waist, resting on her ever growing stomach.
They got to their hotel ( I have no idea what they were called then so hotel will just have to do) and got into the elaborately carved wooden four poster bed. Arielle rested her head against Jack's bare chest and breathed out deeply.
"I love you…" she trailed off, seeing the disappointed look in his eyes.
"You know I haven't much money to speak of, except for what I earn unfairly through pillaging, so your wedding won't be much…" he said slowly, bracing himself for her reply.
" Oh I don't care, I really don't. As long as you're with me and we are married and our child is born safely, I really don't care. I just want something simple, I can wear one of my dresses and I don't need a ring."
"Oh, well that might be a problem then, considering the fact that I already bought you both," Jack said smiling.
"You didn't!" she said jumping out of bed, but Jack rushed over and steadied her.
"Arielle, the baby! Don't excite yourself!"
"It's alright, I'm not due for another seven months."
Jack walked over to the dresser and took out a box. Arielle opened to lid and inside was a flawless dark burgundy satin dress, with ruby studded shoes to go with it.
"Oh Jack I… it's just… Oh God I love you!" she said throwing her arms around him and pulling him down on her on the mattress. He quickly rolled over so she was on top of him.
"I love you too" he said as he slipped a gold ring with one ruby and two diamonds on either side onto her delicate hand.
