Elizabeth hadn't been inside the captain's quarters since Barbossa was captain. It was much different from what she remembered. Although the area was a tad cluttered, it was much tidier than she had expected. There was a large desk near the window with a bookshelf only a few feet away. Unfinished maps hung over everything, and a red rug laid on the middle of the floor. From the looks of it, Jack had stolen the rug from Singapore. A few chairs and a table were to the far right side with empty rum bottles scattered around them.
"I'm terribly sorry for the mess," Jack apologized. "No one ever comes in here, so it isn't like I need to-" Elizabeth let out a pained groan. "Okay, okay," Jack panicked. "Come on, let's get you to the bed," he said in an attempt to appear calm. Jack led her through the open double doors to the left.
In this room, a large bed faced the double-doored entrance. A closet was to the left, and a large window looked out to sea on the right. The windowsill held open books that laid scattered over the worn cushions.
Jack laid Elizabeth down gently on the bed which was, to her surprise, rather clean and smelled faintly of him.
"Alright," Jack said, clamping his hands together. "Um… I'll be in the rum cellar," he pointed in the direction he was headed. "Holler if you need something-"
"Jack!" Elizabeth protested. She gave him a pained smile as he turned back around to face her, his hands still pointing in the direction of the rum. "You're going to have to help me with this. You know that, right?"
Jack twitched his upper lip. "Don't you want… someone else to help you?" He questioned doubtfully as if already knowing the answer.
"Do you really think I trust anyone else on this ship?" Elizabeth replied gently.
"You-you really trust me, huh?" Jack uncertainly stated. Her trust in him was reassuring his fears, but the idea of bringing a baby into the world caused his voice to stammer. No one had ever trusted him with a responsibility this important before.
"Yes," Elizabeth said firmly, looking straight up into eyes, "I really do."
