A/N: 30 reviews, so here's your chapter. You readers seem to want sequel rather than continuing this story, which is cool. You just might get a sequel.

Ana grinned at the familiar quote from Jack.

She jokingly raised her hand as if to slap him for his cavalier attitude. Predictably, he flinched, closing his eyes, waiting for her to hit him. When no slap came, he opened one eye. Seeing her using her hand to cover her smile rather than to slap him, and her shoulders shaking in silent laughter, he opened his other eye. "Hey!" he complained, realizing she had meant to do that. He slumped his shoulders and pouted at her.

She shrugged, smiling at him. It occurred to her that they were both still sitting on the floor. Her smile widened as she turned his line back against him. "I'm Captain AnaMaria!"

That's not all you are, Jack thought. You're my soon-to-be reinstated first mate. You're wonderful. You're my friend. I love you. More than the seven seas, more than the Black Pearl, more than RUM! I love you. Jack was struck with sudden inspiration.Why not? I love her. And she. . . she loves me, too. You're not just AnaMaria. At least you won't be if you say yes to my question.

"I don't want you to be." Ana looked up at him, confusion in her eyes, along with a tad bit of anger. She had misinterpreted, thinking he wanted her to not be captain of her own ship. Jack, seeing this, hastily continued. "I don't want you to be AnaMaria." Catching on to where this was going, Ana didn't misinterpret that. She looked him in the eye, and saw love there. It made her feel like she was floating, and she liked the feeling. She could smell the sea, and feel the softness of the clouds. "I want you to be AnaMaria Sparrow."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Than, Yes, I will be your beloved AnaMaria Sparrow."

Jack pulled her into a kiss, absolutely thrilled she said yes.

Breaking off the kiss, he did something he never thought he would do. He reached up, pulled off his hat, and placed it gently on Ana. If she hadn't already known he loved her, this proved it, as he rarely parted with his hat, and each time did so in extreme circumstances, or put up a huge fight about said parting.

Ana stared openly at him, awestruck that he would part with the coveted garment. She shifted so she was leaning on his shoulder. "Thank-you, Jack."

"You're welcome, luv."

"Yes, I am, aren't I. Not the welcome part, though that's true, too. The luv part's what I mean."

"Well, you aren't actually asking. You're saying it as a fact, so you must already know. But since you are my luv, if it'll make you feel better to hear it, than, Ana, I love you."

"Mmm. You know, Jack? I think I might just love you, too."

"Keep telling yourself that, luv. You "think"? You know I'm completely lovable!"

AnaMaria laughed.

Did you like it? I hope so! Please review! Don't forget three things: 1) There's one more chapter to this story left, at least probably; 2) I'd like to hit the 35 review mark before the last chapter comes up; 3)If you haven't let me know if you want a sequel, or if you want me to just continue on with this story, I would appreciate the input!

Please review!
