A Pirate's Wife
A/N: None of these characters are mine except for the people in the water.
"Your wife?" Elizabeth struggled to get the words out. She couldn't believe that the wild Jack Sparrow could ever been tamed enough to be married to someone. He held up his left hand and showed her the gold band around his wedding finger.
"I thought I'd lost her" Jack mumbled.
"What?"
"It all started 4 years ago. I had sailed into Port Smith, there I met a young lass, she was smart, beautiful, and funny. We got to know each other, as friends. She told me of her troubles. Then one day I asked her to marry me. She said yes and we married that day. Her father, he didn't approve. We were married but 7 days, before her father whisked her off somewhere. I was sent on me way and told that I was to ne'er return." Jack said, a tear fell down his cheek. Elizabeth still couldn't believe that he could be with one woman long enough to marry her. Maybe he really wasn't as bad as everyone made him out to be.
"I'm so sorry Jack" She patted his arm.
Jack walked quietly into his cabin and over to the bed. He looked down at the young face sleeping peacefully on his pillow. He had missed her so much. He wasn't one for believing in things such as soul-mates, but, he was sure, that if there were such things, she was his. There was 18 years between them. He was 34 when they married, she was only 16.
He brushed a strand of hair off her face. Her features were distinct. She was even more beautiful than he remembered. He sat down on the bed next to her and held her hand.
An hour or two later she awoke. Jack was still sitting on the bed, her hand still in his.
"Jack?" she whispered.
"'S me luv" Jack replied. His voice was soft and gentle.
"Jack" she cried. "I thought you were dead"
"I'm as 'live as the next guy"
"I have missed you so much"
"I've been missin' ya too" Jack looked at the hand which now covered his. Her left hand still had the gold band of marriage.
"Why are ye still wearin' this?" He asked, pointing to her ring.
"Because, I can't let go of you Jack. I love you. You have a hold of my heart and you won't let go" Jack felt exactly the same way, never in his life had he ever had his heart taken by someone, he had taken many, but never lost his own, yet, here lay the one person who had taken his.
"Ye should've moved on luv"
"I couldn't, I can't. Many a man has asked me out, but they see my ring and back off. The ones that don't laugh when I say I'm married to a pirate. They all say pirates are scoundrels who deserve to be hung. But I know that you aren't like the others" It touched Jack that she still loved him.
He stroked her cheek lightly.
"Hold me Jack" she asked. Jack lay down on the bed beside her and placed his arms over her, holding her to him.
"I'll never let you go again Rosie" Jack whispered. He kissed her cheek and closed his eyes.
