A/N: Hey, guys! Thanks for five reviews! Good to know that my story is liked and people want more. Okay, this chapter has a bit of humor at the end. LOL. I had fun writing it. So without further ado… here's chapter 2.

~Rosealyn 'Flinx' Roth~

P.S. I forgot the disclaimer last chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Jack, Angelica, Pirates of the Caribbean, or any other characters in this story. I do own the plot though.

"I am with child. It is yours." Was all that Jack could hear. Angelica's words were ringing in his head. Angelica. Pregnant. With his child. His eyes shot open.

The first thing he sees is a familiar dark wooded ceiling. But… it couldn't be. His brow furrowed in confusion. He couldn't be there. It was impossible. Jack looked around to see the familiar captain's cabin of the Black Pearl. He turned his head to the right to see Angelica sitting in his chair that she had pulled up next to his bed. Her head was resting on her arms, which were folded and resting on the edge of his bed. He could hear her soft breathing indicating that she was asleep.

Jack sat up and brushed the hair off Angelica's face and out of her eyes. Angelica stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes. She sat up and met Jack's eyes. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Then Jack's expression changed to one of confusion. Angelica's face fell.

"What's wrong?" she asked, her soft voice laced with her thick Spanish accent.

"How did you get the Pearl out of the bottle?" Jack asked. Angelica laughed and shook her head.

"Jack, all you had to do to get it out was smash the neck of the bottle and set it in the water."

"You mean there was no ritual?"

Angelica smiled. "No."

"And what of the crew?" Jack questioned.

"All are fine and working hard. Gibbs is at the helm, giving out orders."

"Good. Now there's the issue of the position of First Mate."

Angelica looked at Jack in confusion.

"What do you mean? I thought that Gibbs is your First Mate."

"Well he was. Or is. But I want you to be me First Mate. Nothing makes a ship and its captain more intimidation than having a woman as First Mate. Especially a beautiful, strong, and sexy woman like you, Angelica. As well as that, you are smart, sneaky, ruthless (when you need to be), and conniving. No one would dare cross you for fear of facing your wrath."

Angelica was surprised, to say the least. "But… I don't want to replace Mr. Gibbs. And I'm pregnant, Jack, or did you forget? I won't be able to do much once I start to show. I will probably be a big pain in your ass. I won't be able to fight, I will be cranky, and tired and sore all the time. I don't know if I want to put you and your crew through all of that."

"Firstly, Gibbs won't mind. Secondly, I am aware that you are pregnant. I could not forget something as important as that, despite what you may believe about me. That's not really a problem for the moment. Once you start to get…bigger…then Gibbs will take over for you. And don't worry about the fighting. I will make sure nothing happens to you. Ever."

Angelica sighed, giving in. "Fine. I will be your First Mate."

"Good! Then I don't have to beg. I will let Gibbs know. You stay here and sleep. You look exhausted."

Angelica stood up and shook her head. "No, it's okay. I'll just go down to the First Mate's cabin and sleep there. This is your cabin. I do not wish to intrude."

Jack put his hands on Angelica's shoulders and sat her down on the bed.

"Angelica, this is our cabin now. There's plenty of room in here for the both of us. Stay here. In our cabin."

Angelica smiled. "Thank you, Jack."

"Of course, Love." Jack turned and walked to the cabin doors, then froze. He spun on his heel and strode over to Angelica. Jack took her face in his hands and kissed her passionately on the lips. When he pulled away, he whispered, "I love you." In Angelica's ear.

Angelica smiled and replied, "I love you, too, Jack.", as he walked out. She lay down with that smile still on her beautiful face and fell asleep in Jack's bed. Her bed. Their bed.

~~~~~Jack~~~~~

As soon as Jack closed the doors to his and Angelica's cabin (he smirked at that thought), he made his way to the helm.

"Cap'n! Good to see you're awake!" Gibbs greeted his captain. "I woulda been in there when ya woke up, but Miss Angelica wouldn't let anyone inside. Not even to bring you and her food, water, and rum. She wouldn't leave your side, Cap'n." Gibbs said.

"She was there the whole time? When I woke up, she was asleep, leanin' on the edge 'o me bed. Er, our bed." Gibbs smirked when he heard Jack speak.

"Finally realized that those 'stirrings' were really feelins of love, eh? Good for you, Jack. An' I'm assuming ya know she loves ya too."

"You knew?" Jack asked Gibbs, looking surprised that he knew before Jack did.

"It was pretty easy to tell, Cap'n, to be honest." Gibbs admitted.

"Oh. Well then, yes. I will say it out loud. I love Angelica. And speakin' of her. Gibbs, you have been a great and loyal First Mate to me and I appreciate it, but I'm sorry, but you are no longer me First Mate. Angelica will be takin' that role." Jack explained, looking apologetically at Gibbs.

Gibbs did not look hurt or offended at all. "I'd be happy te step down, Cap'n. Miss Angelica will be the perfect First Mate fer our beloved captain. She is your mate, after all, Mate."

"Oh, good! But I will be needin' you to take Angelica's place in a few months. She is in… ah… a delicate condition right now and will be for a while."

"Is it true, Jack? Is Miss Angelica really with-child? Is it really yours?" Gibbs asked, his eyebrows raised.

Jack sighed. "Yes, yes, and yes. How did you know?"

"Miss Angelica told me, Cap'n. She had to explain to me why she was draggin yer unconscious body to the boat."

"Oh. Well, it was a shock." Jack defended himself. Gibbs just smiled.

"I would be happy to take over her place once she starts to show an' can't fight anymore." Then, he looked at Jack with sincere seriousness. "I expect you will be takin' extra good care of her an' givin' her whatever she wants. The woman who is carryin' your child should be taken good, careful, care of."

"Aye. I would never mistreat the woman carryin' me child. Even if she was not, I would never hurt her, or let her hurt herself. And speakin' of gettin' her whatever she wants, we need to make port in Tortuga. I need to get Angelica some stuff. We'll be needin' it."

"Aye, aye, Cap'n!" Gibbs stood up and shouted out to the crew, "We're changin' direction! Make way for Tortuga!"

~~~~~J+A~~~~~

When they docked in Tortuga, Jack went into his cabin and woke Angelica.

"Sorry to wake you, Love, but we are docked in Tortuga, cause I figured you may want more clothes, seein' as you're not on the Revenge anymore."

Angelica nodded. "Yes, you're right. Let's go."

They made their way off the Pearl, leaving it with the crew while Gibbs came along with them. The three of them walked to the small section of Tortuga shops. Jack turned to face Gibbs and Angelica.

"Gibbs, you go with Angelica. I have something I wanted to get."

"Aye, Cap'n." Jack waited until Angelica and Gibbs disappeared into one of the shops before he ran down the street into a Jewelry Shop.

When he walked in he went straight to the counter full of rings. They were filled with big, gaudy rings, small plain rings, etc.

"Oi!" Jack shouted. The Jewelry Show Clerk came over to Jack.

"I need an engagement ring. Not too big, but not too small either. Preferably red."

"Like this one?" The Jeweler held out a beautiful ring. It had a gold band, and was round. It had a red jewel in the center, surrounded by tiny little white jewels. It just screamed Angelica to Jack.

Jack smiled. "Yes, just like that. It's perfect." Jack traded the ring for an old, valuable necklace that he stole long ago.

Once he had the ring in his hand, he put it in his coat pocket and raced back down to where he last saw Gibbs and Angelica. Both were waiting for him.

"Ah, good. You're done. Mr. Gibbs, please take Angelica's things back to the Pearl and put them in our cabin. I want to speak with Angelica alone."

"Aye, Cap'n." Gibbs said, grabbing Angelica's things. "Miss Angelica." Gibbs nodded his head in departure to her. She smiled kindly at him.

As soon as Gibbs was gone, Jack turned to face Angelica.

"Okay. There's no better way to do this, so I'll just get on with it." Jack started. "Angelica, I love you. Like I said, always have, always will. So, with that. Marry me, Angelica." Jack said, holding out the ring he traded for her.

Angelica's eyes went wide at the sight of the beautiful ring. She stared at Jack.

"Normally, I don't like being told what to do, but in this case, I think I just might have to do as you say." She responded, taking the ring and slipping it onto her ring finger. "You won't leave me this time?" she asked him, holding her left hand out to admire the way the ring sparkled on her hand.

"Angelica, I swore on pain of death that I would never leave you ever again. I meant it." Angelica smiled at Jack and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Good. Because I don't think I would be able to handle it if you left me again." And then she kissed him. Jack wrapped his arms around Angelica's waist and deepened the kiss. They stood there, planting hot, open-mouthed kisses on each other's lips.

When they separated, both were breathing heavily and had big smiles on their faces.

"Let's get back to the Pearl." Jack said. Angelica nodded, still smiling and a bit giddy from their hot make-out session. Jack held out his right arm for her. She smirked and slid her arm through his, like a wealthy couple would have and strolled down towards the docks.

They were almost back to the Pearl when two women walked up to Jack and Angelica. One was blonde and was wearing a pale yellow dress and the other was a redhead wearing a scarlet dress. Jack's eyes widened once he saw them.

Jack cleared his throat awkwardly. "Scarlett." He nodded to the redheaded woman.

"Hello, Jack." Scarlett said smiling at Jack. Angelica did not like the looks that these women were giving her fiancée.

"Giselle." He nodded to the blonde woman.

"Hello, Jack." Giselle purred, looking Jack up and down with hunger.

Angelica had had enough of these two slutty women. She cleared her throat from her position of linked arms with Jack. Both whores turned to look at Angelica, and then turned to face Jack with eyebrows raised.

" 'O is she?" Scarlett asked, nodding her head in Angelica's direction.

"Ladies, this is Angelica Teach. She's my-,"

"I am his fiancée." Angelica said, stressing the word 'fiancée', flashing her engagement ring at Scarlett and Giselle.

Both prostitutes looked at the ring on Angelica's finger, then at Jack. And then Scarlett brought her hand up and slapped Jack across the face, not surprising anyone, not even himself. But then she turned to Angelica with the most loathsome look in her eyes. Jack's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to say something to Scarlett, but it was too late. She had already brought her hand back and slapped Angelica hard in the face. The slap was hard enough that it turned Angelica's head to the side, her long ebony hair covering the left side of her face. Jack winced.

Giselle looked at Scarlett in shock, her eyes wide and she took a step away from her. Angelica slowly turned her head back to face front. As the hair fell from her face, you could see a large red mark on her face stretching from her temple to just above her jaw. Angelica felt her blood boil. The look on her face worried Jack greatly. It looked like she was ready to murder someone.

Jack looked to Scarlett. "You really shouldn't have done that." Then he turned to look at Angelica. "Angelica, Love, please don't kill her or do anything you may regret."

Angelica turned to face Jack and he shied away from her, but she just smiled at him, all traces of anger and hatred gone.

"Don't worry, Jack. I won't kill her." She responded. Then she turns to face Scarlett, her smile turning into a scowl as she pulls her hand back and whips it at Scarlett, bitch-slapping her, then brings it back in the other direction to backhand her with enough force that Scarlett staggers back. Damn. Jack thought. That woman really packs a punch. I don't think I've ever been slapped that hard, and I've been slapped hundreds of times. Remind me not to get on her bad side.

Angelica smiles a fake smile and says, "Maybe that will teach you not to mess with the fiancée of Jack Sparrow and the Daughter of Blackbeard."

Then she takes Jack's hand, lacing her fingers through his, nods her head to Giselle, glares at Scarlett, and they walk back to the Black Pearl.

A/N: There you go! Another, longer chapter! I had fun writing the end portion of this. I read a story a while ago where Jack was with Angelica in Tortuga and they ran into Scarlett and Giselle and one of them almost slaps Angelica. I wanted to see what would happen if one of them really did. So let me know what you thought! I'm not done with the next chapter yet, so the next update will be a while yet, but I will try my best to get it here as soon as I can. I'm shooting for more than five reviews this time, but five is pretty good so far, I guess.
