Author's Note: Here we go again.

The town's people just stared in disbelief as Elizabeth wrapped her arm through Jacks. There was the most feared pirate in the world walking through the middle of Port Royal with the Governor's daughter with a baby on her hip and one on his shoulder. When they Got aboard Jack handed Gibbs the children instructing him what to do with them and led Elizabeth up to the helm.

"I promised you would steer my ship."

He said wrapping her hands around the wheel.

"Jack, this feels amazing."

"If you thinks this feels good you should see how I can move on the Pearl, trust me the boards in my cabin creak."

"Jack we can't do this right now we have two kids, we don't need more screaming and crying."

"Fine I'm going to bed."

He said turning away.

"Jack come back."

"There is a bed in the kids room you can stay there till we arrive at the next port, I'll set you up in a house and send you money for the kids when I can."

To her it had sounded like a plan for the future, but to him it sounded like she didn't want him anymore. That night Elizabeth cried herself to sleep, and Jack tossed and turned all night long. He should have left her alone, he should have let her die after all she had killed him, but he couldn't he loved her and his children would know their father. For the next few days they avoided each other he would spend three hours with the kids and then let Gibbs take them back. Every night she would wait by the wheel hoping he would change his mind but he never did.

"I guess he is really done with me this time." She said thinking aloud.

"No he's not he is just hurt."

It was Marty the dwarf pirate, who up until now had never said two words to her before.

"What do you mean?"

"I've been with the Captain longer than anybody, even Gibbs. He loves you but the only way he can express that is through physical ways. He won't tell you he has never told anyone, not even his mother he just placed a rose on her grave and walked away. Just let him know how you feel and let him show you."

"Marty, can you do me a favor?"

"Ma'm"

"Tell the Captain he is needed on deck."
