A/N Thanks again for all the reviews. I didn't have a chance to reply to them yet.. sorry 'bout that.
Chapter 19: We're having a baby.
"How
did we end up here?" Jack asks me, looking angry.
"Well,
how should I know? You came up with the whole idea of me being able
to travel through time using my wardrobe!"
"You should
know! You've been here three times already!" Jack is starting to
shout.. I somehow get the impression that he isn't altogether happy
with the progress of this little adventure.
Chloe shakes her
head and sits down on the bed, next to Will. Jasper is standing
besides me, narrowing his eyes as he listens to Jack's rant.
"Are
you quite done yet Jack? Shouting and cursing isn't getting us
anywhere, and we really should be going by now" Will says,
glancing at Jasper.
Jack scowls at Will "But of course Dear
William.. and how do you suppose we do that? Hm? Obviously the girl
has no clue whatsoever how to control the closet, she could even
transport us to the beginning of the earth for all that matters!"
"Jack.." Jasper sighs.
"Who knows? Perhaps
we'll end up as breakfast for a few futuristic monsters!" Jack
keeps on shouting and ranting.
"Jack, you're forgetting
something."
Finally Jack stops, but now he has turned his
rage at Jasper.
"I'm forgetting about something? Me? May I
remind you all that we're nowhere close to the map? And we're
probably stuck here for all eternity?"
"Stop
exaggerating Jack" I snap, folding my arms across my chest.
Chloe has made herself comfortable on my bed, and is cuddling my
Dolphin plushy.
"Stop exaggerating Jack, blablabla.. stop
exaggerating.." Now Jack is mimicking me.. and Jasper is looking
a little bit angry.. somehow I can feel this going the wrong turn..
"I bloody well ain't exaggerating, you obnoxious wench!"
Jack shouts in my face.
-Thud- Before I realize
what is happening I see Jack sprawled on my chair, his nose
bleeding. Jasper is standing next to me, rubbing some feeling back
into his hand. He glares at Jack.
"Nobody.. and I mean this
Jack.. NOBODY.. calls my girlfriend that.. not even you.. now I don't
know what has gotten into you.. but I suggest you call down." He
says through gritted teeth.
My mouth drops open. Jasper actually
hit Jack? Wow.. I mean.. poor Jack.. but.. still.. Wow.. sexy!
"Aw
jeez.. Jack.. you stupid nitwit.. are you okay?" Chloe asks as
she walks towards him, gingerly touching his nose.
Jack doesn't
take his eyes from Jasper and allows Chloe to take a look at his
nose.
"Well.. it doesn't look broken, it'll hurt for a little
while, but that should pass soon." she says and gets up
again.
"Right.. Jack.. as I was trying to tell you before you
two decided to beat the crap out of each other.. we could always take
my mother's car.. she probably isn't home anyway.. and I have the
spare keys." I tell him, jingling the keys before his nose.
Jack doesn't say a word, but simply wipes the blood from his face
with his sleeve. He looks at it for a moment, seeming completely lost
in his own mind.
"Jack? Are you alright?" Will looks at
him curiously.
"Hm.. what? Oh.. yeah.. sure whelp."
Jack shakes his head, as if trying to clear some fog in his head.
He
eyes Jasper up and down and suddenly starts grinning. He extends his
hand at Jasper.
"Aye lad.. you've shown yourself alright..
you've proven you're worthy of this lass. I apologize for my insults
at your.. lady.."
Jasper stares at the hand for a few
seconds, then grabs it and gives a firm handshake.
"Don't
mention it Sparrow.. but be warned.. next time.. you'll not come out
of it this easily."
Gah.. boys and their ego's.
"Yes..
touching really.. can we go now?" Barbossa asks, leaning
against the door, examining his nails.
Hm.. I still don't trust
the guy, but he has a point.
"Yes.. to the Lona mobile!"
Chloe says, pointing her index finger skywards.
"Erhm..
Chlo.. my Lona Mobile is at Jasper's house.. we're taking my mom's
car"
"Meh.. details" Chloe shrugs.
In
the car
"So.. you weren't really angry?" Will
asks Jack, looking confused.
We're in my mom's car.. and.. well..
it looks like a sardine can on wheels right now.. I'm driving, Jasper
is on the passenger seat on my right.. Chloe, Jack, Will and Barbossa
are sitting on the backseat, almost on each other's lap. Cozy huh?
Barbossa and Will had some misgivings about getting in the
car at first.. but after Jack jumped in and started babbling about
the great unseen wondrous beast in the front of the car, they decided
it wouldn't hurt much to join in for the ride. And now Jack is
explaining his strange behavior from earlier today to Will.
"I
had to make sure that his loyalty lies with his lass, lad. Surely you
must understand that?" Jack states matter of factly.
"So..
you actually wanted him to punch you on the nose?" Barbossa
asks, a smug smile on his face.
"Well.. I.. erhm.. yes.. of
course" Jack nods, a sly grin spreading across his face.
"What
the.. stupid git! This is a highway! You're supposed to drive faster
then a snail! Stupid woman!" And yes.. this is me.. venting my
frustrations at certain drivers.. especially women, old people and
truck drivers.. Yes, I know I'm a woman too.. but honestly.. some
women really don't know how to drive!
-grumbles-
"Lona..
relax! Perhaps I should drive?" Chloe offers, leaning forward a
little.
"No! I can drive perfectly myself thank you,
besides.. isn't there something you'd like to tell Will? Isn't this
about the perfect time for that? Seeing as you two are sitting
together and all?" I ask her, winking at her in my rear view
mirror.
"Oh.. right.. I suppose so.. Will..
honey?"
"Yes?"
"I've got something to tell
you.."
A
few minutes later.
"Will.. wake up! There's no need
for fainting right now! Wake up!"
Hm.. he took it well..
It
takes him a little while.. but after a small half hour or so, Will
finally starts to wake up again. The first thing he sees is Chloe,
with a worried look on her face. Will smiles groggily.
"Hi
dear.. I just had the strangest dream.. we were in a coach of some
sort.. with Jack and Lona and this evil person.. and you told me we
were having a baby!" Jack snickers softly.
"Will..
honey.. it wasn't a dream.. I'm pregnant!" Chloe whispers in his
ear.
Will
blinks, his brains trying to register this new bit of information,
this time without the fainting part.
"We're.. really having a
baby? That's.. that's.. fantastic! Oh Chloe.. I love you so much!"
Will starts kissing and hugging his wife. And some more kissing and
hugging.. and yet a little more.. and.. okay..
"Will you two
lovebirds please stop doing that?" I ask, frowning at them in my
mirror.
"Lona.. are we there yet?" Jack
whines.
"Almost"
"Ok.. " Jack is quiet for
a few seconds.. "Lona?"
"Shut up.. almost!"
"Ok.."
Silence "Lona?"
"We're here!"
"Ok..
what?"
Yes.. after 45 minutes of whining and romantic
gibberish we've finally reached our destination.. Jasper's house!
Jack
opens the car door and quickly jumps out of the car, followed suit by
Barbossa. Chloe and Will remain in the car, smooching and being..
well.. glued to each other. I look at them.
"If I come back
and see you two doing anything that means that you'll have to take
your clothes off.. you'll be in trouble.. the same goes if I discover
any unidentified spots on the seating.. or.. spots I can identify but
really wished I couldn't.. if you get what I mean.." This is
greeted by complete and utter silence.. not considering some kissing
noises. I sigh and shake my head.
"Never mind.."
Jasper
opens the front door and Jack simply runs upstairs, eager to retrieve
his pants and thus, the treasure map.
"Found it! Now let's
go!" He shouts from upstairs. Barbossa quickly fetches Chloe and
Will from the car. After a few seconds they join us in the living
room, looking a bit flushed (Chloe and Will that is) and disgusted
(Barbossa.. probably because of the mushy-ness).
When we reach
Jasper's room, we find Jack, holding his precious treasure map in his
hands. He's standing in front of the closet.
"Come on luv..
let's get us back to the Golden Ages." Jack says, winking at me
and flashing his golden teeth.
"Golden ages? Hygiene was
pretty much non existent.. murder, pillaging, pirates.. " Jasper
mutters.
" Exactly lad! Now let's go!"
Ok..
we have the map.. and MS is nowhere in sight!
Please review, cc is
highly appreciated.. almost just as high as a spellingchecker that
also looks at grammar.. –kicks MS Word- Oh well..
