Birthday

Oh yeah right like I'll make Jack and Maddie get married. That's only happening in one of my stories. Ok well they aren't gonna get married yet…maybe after a while if they're still together.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the next four days they sailed. Madison watched the Kraken swim next to them for the first two days but then she finally told it that it could sleep and that was the last they saw of it. For those same two days, she was kept under constant watch. For the majority of the time, Jack steered the ship and Madison generally stayed around him or in his line of vision.

On the fourth day Marty spotted land and they docked by sun set. No one said anything about it being Madison's birthday but she noticed Jack, Will, Bill and Elizabeth all talking quietly a few times and whenever she got near them, they stopped. She knew they had something planned. Like Gibbs said, Jack was bad at hiding things.

Madison was sitting in Jack's cabin, running her fingers through her hair which was finally free of sand. She stared at the mirror, tilting her head different ways. A knock on the door made her jump. They had been docked for about half an hour but Madison didn't feel like getting off the ship and had chosen to stay in the cabin until she got forced to. She looked at the door to see Elizabeth open it and pop her head in. She raised an eyebrow at the older woman.

"Got something for you." Elizabeth said. "We're supposed to meet the men and I thought you should dress up and give Jack a heart attack." Madison laughed and stood up. Elizabeth walked into the cabin holding out a box. Madison noticed she was wearing a light purple dress. It was different from what she was used to seeing on the woman.

"Let me guess. There's a dress in that box?" Madison asked.

"How'd you guess?" Elizabeth asked, looking mock surprised. Madison laughed and took the box. She put it on the bed and opened it. Inside was a midnight blue coloured dress. She pulled it out of the box and held it against herself before looking at her reflection. She laughed because the dress reminded her of the one she wore two years ago in Puerto Rico when she saw Jack.

"Yes…this will give him a heart attack." Madison said. She quickly changed into it then asked Elizabeth to braid her hair. Madison made sure that she still had her knife tied around her waist. That was the only place she felt safe having it.

"You look amazing." Elizabeth said as Madison examined herself. The young girl smiled. Jack would surely act differently when he saw her.

Madison couldn't wait to see his reaction.

The girls got off the ship and, as they walked through the town, Madison plucked a few flowers and stuck them in her hair. She put a few in Elizabeth's hair as well. Elizabeth led her to a house where the loud sounds of a party could be heard. Madison's smile grew. Parties were great…especially when she didn't have to be the entertainment.

Jack sat with his feet on a table next to Bill who sat between him and Will. They hadn't planned on coming here but once they docked and got off the ship, some man that Jack vaguely remembered invited them so they went then sent Elizabeth back to get Maddie.

"How long does it take them to get here?" Jack muttered. He kept his eyes on the door. It kept opening but he didn't see the girls enter.

"You worry just a little too much." Will said.

"Did you forget what we just went through?" Jack asked. Will shook his head. The door opened and Jack's jaw dropped when he saw who entered. Elizabeth, back in a dress, and Madison…looking the exact same as she did two years ago. Jack dropped his feet off the table and stood up. Elizabeth spotted him and took Madison's hand before leading her over to them. Jack couldn't help the smirk that came. "Kitten?"

"Yeah…" Madison said, smirking as well. "Wanna hear me purr?" She knew what was reeling through Jack's head.

"Maybe I do." Jack said. He put his arm around Madison's waist then sat down, pulling her onto his lap. "But first we gotta get rid of these flowers."

"Hey!" Madison whined. She tried pulling her hair away from Jack but he got the flowers out quickly and also, somehow, managed to get her hair out of the braid. "That's not nice." Madison twisted around to face him with a pout. "Elizabeth spent a lot of time working on that."

"I don't want you looking like that, luv." Jack said. "Reminds me too much of what you used to do." He wrapped his arms possessively around her.

"It just means that I have experience to use on you." Madison whispered. Jack groaned and Madison just smirked. She looked at her brother and father. "Ok…do I get presents or no?"

"Why?" Bill asked.

"Umm…because it's my birthday." Madison said. Will and Bill looked at each other before reaching into their pockets and pulling out little boxes before handing them to Madison. She smiled like a little kid and opened the one from Will first. Inside was a gold chain with a moon shaped clear pendant hanged from it. "Aaaw thanks Will." Jack helped her put it on then Madison opened the other box to find a bracelet with little charms shaped like moons, stars, hearts and drops. They were all different colours but nothing too bright. "Thanks dad. It goes with the necklace. Did you guys plan that?"

"Not really." Will said. "We just saw them and thought they'd be good to get you."

"The dress is a present from me." Elizabeth said.

"I figured that, thanks." Madison said. She looked at Jack. "And what about you?"

"What about me?" Jack asked. Madison gave him a look. "I thought letting you know that I loved you was a good enough gift."

"No Jack…that would be a good gift from me to you." Madison said.

"Don't worry, pet." Jack said. He moved her hair away from her ear and whispered. "You'll get a present from yours truly soon enough." Madison felt the overwhelming urge to kiss him…and she did. By the time they broke apart, everyone else was gone. "Think we scared them off, luv."

"Good." Madison said. "Don't need any overprotective father and brother stuff." She moved so that, instead of sitting with her back to Jack, she now sat sidewise. Jack's arms were still around her waist but his hands did move a lot. Madison leaned her head on Jack's shoulder and looked around the crowd. Will and Elizabeth were dancing, Bill was at a different table with some men and a lot of girls.

As the night progressed, Madison danced with Will, Elizabeth and Bill. Jack actually refused to dance and no matter what any of them did, he wouldn't get up. He just remained at the table and drank.

"This is a first." A man said, joining Jack. He recognized him as the one that invited him, Markus.

"What's a first?" Jack asked.

"You're not surrounded by women." Markus said. He turned and looked out to where Madison was dancing with Will. "And you've kept your eyes on that one all night long." He turned back to look at Jack. "Jack Sparrow losing his womanizing ways then?"

"Never said that, mate." Jack said.

"I think I've seen her before." Markus said. "Was she in Puerto Rico?"

"Yeah." Jack said, slowly. He took his eyes off of Madison slowly and looked at Markus.

"That's where I remember her from." Markus said, smiling. The smile faded when he noticed the look on Jack's face. "Hey…it's not like I'm the only one. She was really popular when I saw her. How old is she anyways?"

"Seven…eighteen now." Jack said. "Today."

"Well…" Markus said. He left Jack alone and the pirate looked back to where Madison and Will were, only to find neither of them there. He looked around, finding Bill with some people but the other three were no where in sight.

"Relax…" Jack muttered to himself. He stood up and looked around. He spotted Will and Elizabeth dancing but still no Madison. He made his way over to them. "Where's Maddie?"

"Don't know." Elizabeth said.

"She's not with you?" Will asked. Jack shook his head. "Is she with dad?"

"Not that I saw." Jack said. "It's probably nothing, don't worry about it." Will just nodded slightly and Jack moved away from them, looking around for Madison. There was a girl whose back was to him with long dark hair, dark blue dress and a charm bracelet on. She was moving away from Jack, slowly, as if she didn't want to. She looked around and Jack saw it was Madison.

"Let go!" Madison said. She tried pulling her hand out of some man's grip. She recognized him slightly. He was a regular where she used to work and he was always drunk. "Damn it! Let go!" He just smiled at her. Madison lost it. She tugged her arm back so quickly that the man stumbled backwards and she punched him in the head with her other hand. He released her arm and Madison rubbed it before lifting up her skirt slightly and kicking him in knee. She turned around and found herself face to chest with Jack. "Oh thank god."

"You alright, luv?" Jack asked, running his hands up and down her arms. Madison nodded. Jack looked at the man now on the floor. "Good job." Madison laughed and put her arm around Jack. They walked back to the table and she was back to sitting on his lap, as close to him as possible. "You sure you're alright?"

"Yeah." Madison said. "I can take care of myself." Jack just nodded. He didn't mention how scared he was when he noticed her missing or when he thought that man was going to do something to her. He put his head on her shoulder so that she couldn't see his face. She had gotten good at noticing when something was bugging him just by looking at his face.

"You found her." Will said, coming over with Elizabeth. Jack grumbled something and Madison moved her head slightly.

"Jack if you're tired why not just go back to the ship?" Elizabeth asked.

"I'm not tired." Jack said, his head shooting up. "I am perfectly awake."

"You sound like me." Madison said. Jack smirked. Will and Elizabeth wandered off again. "Will you dance with me now? Please?"

"How many times do you have to ask?" Jack asked.

"Until you agree." Madison said. "Please Jack? The last time I did any kind of dancing with you and when I was little and you were swaying around on the ship because you were drunk and you were holding me." Jack gave her a look. "If you do this for me now, I'll do anything you want later."

"Anything?" Jack asked.

"Anything." Madison said, smiling mischievously.

"Well…" Jack said. "Alright then. Just once though." Madison smiled and stood up before pulling Jack with her over to the dancing.

She managed to get him to dance for a while. No one knew how. Madison didn't even know how she managed to get Jack to dance for more then one song. She was happy though. After a while, they met back up with Will, Elizabeth and Bill and headed back to the ship. Madison barely managing to walk because she was so tired. Jack had to carry her after a while. They stopped at the docks and stared at the Black Pearl for a few seconds before boarding it. Jack wondered if it was Madison that had brought it back or Calypso. Or maybe it was both.

"Stay awake, luv." Jack muttered to Madison.

"I am awake." Madison said, looking at him. Jack just smiled and carried her into his…their cabin. "Jack…"

"Yeah, luv?" Jack asked.

"I'm keeping my promise you know." Madison said. Jack looked at her with a mischievous smirk before kicking the door closed behind him.
