Zarya's POV

It had been two days since we left Singapore and we were well on our way entering the infamous locker of Davy Jones. At the moment I was walking around the deck to get some exercise. It was damn cold and I mean cold enough to where snow was around us. I wasn't cold like the others since I had dragon fire inside me.

"No one said anything about being cold" Pintel complained. He then looked to Tia Dalma. "Why doesn't that obeah woman bring back Jack the same way she brought back Barbossa?"

"Because Barbossa was only dead" Tia Dalma began to explain. "Jack Sparrow is taken, body, soul, to a place not of death, but punishment, the worst fate a person can bring up on himself forever, that's what awaits at Davy Jones Locker"

"Yeah I knew there was a good reason" Pintel joked.

I shook my head before feeling sick again. I hurried over to the railing and threw up once more. Within my mind my dragon half chuckled.

Looks like our hatchling has its father's demeanor my dragon teased.

Shut it dragon I growled.

I decided to go lay down again since my unborn child was giving me a hard time. I fell asleep once I hit the pillow but was awakened by shouts from outside. Alarmed I hurried out of the cabin to see everyone was scurrying about.

"What the bloody hell is going on?" I demanded at Barbossa.

"You'd best hang on Ms. Hart we about to enter the Locker" he answered.

"Oh shit" I said realizing what he meant. I went to the railing and my face paled at seeing the waterfall ahead. "Bugger me"

"I second that" Will added. "Hang on to something!"

"Understatement Will!" I yelled. And I went to hang onto said something. Barbossa began to laugh as we got closer to the edge of the waterfall and I shouted at him to shut up just as the ship went over the fall. I held on as best as I could but eventually I was thrown into the water and once underwater I shifted into my dragon state and made my way to the surface. My head broke through the surface and I saw the others who survived the fall. I swam my towards them and stopped so they could get onto my back. I waited until everyone was on my back before swimming once more.

Tia Dalma guided me where I needed to go and soon the darkness of the locker became lighter until the sun was shining. Up ahead was a beach and Tia Dalma instructed that was where we needed go. I swam until I was close enough to shore and the others proceeded to get off of my back. Once they were on the beach I swam out of the water and made my way onto shore. I shook my body free of water and what not before taking my human form.

"This truly is a god forsaken place" Gibbs said.

"That's an understatement Gibbs" I corrected.

"I don't see Jack" Elizabeth said eying our surroundings. "I don't see anyone"

"He's here" Barbossa added. "Davy Jones never once gave up what he took"

"And does it matter? We're trapped here by your doing, it was Zarya who was able to get us to shore"

Suddenly my inner dragon roared.

He comes she told me. Our mate is coming

White crabs scuttled on the sand near Tia Dalma. She had one in her hand and stroked it.

"Witty Jack is closer than you think"

Immediately over the sand dunes came the Black Pearl. I felt my jaw drop because this part of the movie was cool to see in person. And on the top of the Pearl was Jack overlooking his surroundings. Tears streamed down my face as I saw my mate. The Pearl went down the sand dune and it glided with ease into the water.

"Slap me thrice and hand to me mama it's Jack!" Gibbs exclaimed and he took off running along with some of the others.

"We found him Zarya" Will said patting my shoulder.

I nodded before I followed after him and Elizabeth. Jack used the longboat to row to shore.

"Jack!"

"Mr. Gibbs!" Jack greeted his first mate.

"Aye cap'n"

"I thought so, I expect your able to account your actions then"

"Sir?" Gibbs asked in confusion.

"There's been a perpetual and virulent lack of discipline upon my vessel, why? Why is that sir?"

"Sir your in Davy Jones Locker cap'n"

Jack paused for a second before continuing on.

"I know that, I know where I am, and don't think I don't"

"Jack Sparrow" Barbossa called out. Jack turned to him.

"Ah Hector!"

My mate then walked up to his former first mate.

"It's been too long hasn't it?"

"Aye Isla de Meurta remember? You shot me"

"No I didn't" Jack replied. He then noticed Tia Dalma.

"Tia Dalma up and about eh? You add an agreeable sense of the macabre to any delirium"

"He thinks we're a hallucination" Will told everyone. Jack heard that and turned to Will.

"William tell me something, have you come because you need my help to save a certain or rather damsel in distress? Either one"

"No"

"Well then you wouldn't be here would you? So you can't be here, Q.E.D you're not really here"

"Jack" Elizabeth called out. Jack turned to her. "This is real we're here"

It was then Jack saw me and immediately I ran into his arms.

"You stupid son of a bitch!" I snapped and I proceeded to punch Jack hard against his chest three times before stopping. Jack at first didn't do anything because he was unsure if I was real or not. He then wrapped his arms around me.

Are you really here darling?

YES! I'm really here you stupid pirate we came to get you the hell out of here! I snapped through the mate bond.

"Bugger me you guys are real" Jack said out loud.

I decided I would share another reunion moment with my mate later and I pulled away from him.

"Well now that I see that you indeed are here to save me, it would seem that I possess a ship and you don't"

"I see my ship" Barbossa corrected. "Right there!"

"Actually" I interrupted Barbossa and everyone turned to me. "The Pearl was raised from the depths for Jack he's her captain, he also decided should he not be available to captain the Pearl I would be left in charge of her"

This was a given fact. Jack didn't want Barbossa to try and steal the Black Pearl again so I was the co-captain. Jack had shown me how to run this role and it's responsibilities.

"Bugger" Barbossa growled not expecting this.

"Jack!" Will said approaching my mate. "Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones, he controls the Flying Dutchman"

"He's taking over the seas" Elizabeth added.

"The song has been sung the Brethren Court is called" Tia Dalma finished.

"Leave you alone for one minute, look what happens everything's gone to pot!"

Jack walked away from us.

"Aye the world needs you something fierce!" Gibbs shouted.

"And you need a crew" Will pointed out.

Jack then stopped and turned to us.

"Why should I sail with any of you? Two of you tried to kill me in the past and the bloody Kraken does it instead though I did it to make sure none of those on the Pearl became the beastie's meal"

"You also did it to protect the woman you love Jack" Will said looking to me. Jack did too. "Zarya didn't take your death well and she should be the reason why you should fight, fight for her"

"Then I guess I have me a crew then"

A Few Minutes Later on the Pearl

"Haul the pennant line!"

"Haul the pennant line"

I growled as Jack and Barbossa barked orders before they both faced one another.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?

"No what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?

"No what are you doing?"

"What are you?" Jack sighed. "Captain gives orders on the ship"

"The captain of the ship is giving orders" Barbossa corrected.

"My ship, makes me captain and Zarya is captain if I'm not here"

"They be my charts!" Barbossa countered holding up the charts.

"That makes you chart man" Jack said throwing his arms up.

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!" I yelled having enough. Both captains looked to me and so did everyone else. "YOU TWO NEED TO QUIT ACTING LIKE CHILDREN AND YOUR BICKERING IS PISSING ME OFF! JACK IS THE F***ING CAPTAIN SO LET HIM DO HIS GOD DAMN JOB!"

With that I turned and stormed into the cabin. The pregnancy hormones were continuing to surprise me. An hour later I was calm again and the door the cabin opened. I looked up to see Jack closing the doors behind him.

Immediately I rushed over to him and I threw my arms around his neck. Tears slid down my face again.

"I'm here darling" Jack said to me wrapping both of his arms around my body. I suddenly slapped his face hard.

"You bastard how could you do that?" I demanded. "Do you have any idea what I went through?!"

"I definitely deserved that" Jack stated before turning to me. He then wiped the tears away from my face with his hand. "I'm so sorry darling"

To show he was sorry Jack took my lips into his and I felt myself giving in. The kiss was gentle and passionate and it wasn't long until Jack's tongue was dancing with mine. Just him kissing me made me cry some more. My dragon reassured me it was fine to feel this way.

Eventually we pulled apart so we could catch our breath. Jack pressed his forehead against mine. Both of his hands were intertwined with mine.

"I won't ever leave you again Zarya I promise, I love you too much to hurt you again"

My mate then kissed my forehead before bringing me into another hug. He rubbed my back while I lay my head against his chest. The two of us remained like this for awhile before I decided it was time to tell Jack I was pregnant.

"Jack there's a reason why I exploded like that earlier" I said pulling away from him.

"Yeah I've been meaning to ask if everything was okay? Your not sick are you love?"

"No I'm not" I answered. "After you died, I found out I was pregnant"

Immediately Jack's eyes widened.

"Are you sure darling?" he asked.

"Tia Dalma and my dragon confirm it, Jack, I wouldn't lie to you about this"

"No you wouldn't and I did tell you to notify me when you did find out" Jack said. He then placed a hand to my stomach. "Now I feel horrible for making you suffer"

I placed a hand over his where it rested on my middle.

"We have nine months till this child is born" I told Jack. "We need to end things with Beckett and Davy Jones, I won't lose my child because of them"

"Our child darling" Jack corrected. He then had a genuine smile on his face. "I like the sound of that"

"So your not dreading having the hatchling?"

"No love I'm not, it will be different but we will be alright, why are you referring to our child as a hatchling?"

"Because he or she will be half water dragon and half human"

"Bugger me, I didn't think of that" Jack said.
