Stopping at the door she thought to herself, if Jack had been in his cabin for a month he had probably spent it wankered and would be piss drunk. Turning to walk away she spoke in a voice only one man could here, though at the time she didn't know he could.

"I don't want to let you go."

Waking the next day Elizabeth stayed in her cabin and hoped that Gibbs would not mention to anyone about her outing. Jack on the other hand sat at his desk wondering what she meant and how he was going to fix his mess of a life this time, Jack Sparrow knew when rum didn't help only being sober could.

"On second thought, I'll only drink enough to make me feel like normal."

That day he stayed in his cabin and waited for sunset, but around nine he figured the boy was asleep and he would just have to deal with the sun. Walking out into the sunlight he was glad he had put new kohl on, even then the sun was blinding and it took a moment for his eyes to adjust. After seeing Jack was on deck Gibbs ran to him trying to explain the situation at hand.

"Captain, most of the crew left about two weeks ago when we made port in Tortuga, but enough of us are here to run the ship. Where are we headed?"

"To tell you the truth, I honestly couldn't care less."

With that he walked away and headed straight to Elizabeth's cabin. Without knocking he walked in to find she was already asleep on the bed while the boy slept in a hammock in the corner. Laying down beside her he told her what he came to tell her.

"Love, wake up. Don't speak I need to say this and if you speak I'll lose my nerve. What I did back there was for you, I did it because he was only going to hurt you and he knew it that is why he was glad to die."

"I know, I'm sorry."

Looking at her something caught his eye, it was a chain around her neck.

"What is that?"

Pulling it out she revealed a slug with a chain through it.

"My reminder of how lucky I am. See a certain pirate Captain had this go into his heart when he was running to save me, and I had to dig it out of him."

"I have a new scar you know, the one Will left when he stabbed me in the heart. 'Lizabeth he really did try to kill me see."

Sliding his shirt to the side he exposed a new scar about the width of a blade and it was then she knew he really had done what would be deemed right in that situation. Looking at him she couldn't help herself she had to kiss him. Laying her in her back she felt Jack begin to slip off her vest.

"Jack, wait. Turner is in the corner."

"Right only one way to fix that."

Picking her up he opened the door while she began to kiss his neck working up to his mouth. As he walked toward his cabin the crew began to cheer causing them both to smile into each others mouth.

"Guess they missed their Captain."

"I know I did."

Laying on Jack's bed he began to run his fingers over her slight bump of a stomach.

"I have something I want to give you two."

"So you're ok with this?"

"I have no choice, but anyway, put this on that chain and keep it close to your heart."

Looking at what was in his hand, she smiled, it was the ring he had worn on his ring finger when she first met him.

Out on deck Pintel walked on to deck during all the excitement.

"What's going on?"

"Seems the Captain is making up with Elizabeth, and that means he'll be back to normal."
