Chapter 25: Precious Gift

Isabella quietly made her way onboard the pearl. She was determined to find Tia Dalma and hopefully recieve aid from her. Surely she would, she possibly loved before. How can she deny two lovers who only wish to be together. Isabella silently prayed that all goes well. And if doesn't she won't know what to do.

Isabella looked around the deck. No was there. They were all at the bretheren court meeting. Distant shouts and gunshots could be heard, Isabella just rolled her eyes. Couldn't they possibly come to an agreement without making a fool out of themselves or killing eachother. She sighed and headed below deck.

She heard distant mumbling. She quietly went to where she saw a woman's shadow.

"Tia Dalma". Isabella called out, hoping not to disturb her. For it would be best to be on her good side.

"Yes, child. Do not be afraid to come closer Isabella". Tia Dalma saw Isabella coming near.

"You..you know my name?"

"I know about ye more dan ya think". smirked Tia Dalma.

"Then, I presume you know why I came to ask for your help". replied Isabella a bit relieved and confused at the same time.

"James Norrington loved you more dan his own life. Good man he was, not to mention handsome. But he had sorrow in him as well". Tia Dalma stood and came face to face with Isabella. Tia Dalma placed her hand on Isabella's womb. "He also left you something very precious".

Isabella looked down to where Tia Dalma had her hand. She was in pure shock. "You mean to say I'm...I'm with child?"

"He certainly made the best of the last time you two spent together. He loves you so dearly, he left you something sweet that would remind you of him. Something you will cherish and guard heavily". Tia Dalma continued to rub Isabella's womb.

"Then you also understand why I would want you to bring him back...please". Isabella began to cry. She sank down to the floor trying to compose herself.

"I don't think its possible, child". Tia Dalma sank down to the floor to be at eye level with Isabella.

"Why not? You brought back Barbossa". Isabella was confused. "Please, I love him so much. I need him. Haven't you ever loved a man so much that you would die for him?"

Tia Dalma turned away at Isabella's last statement. Because she was right. She did love before and still does.

"Your beloved Admiral should be left at peace." Tia Dalma tunred back to Isabella.

"Do you think he is at peace...honestly. He loves me and wished to be with me...I know so. Would you deny us this, to be together? Two lovers who are true to eachother!" Isabella was pleading with all that she could. How can she deny them this!

"I cannot say..." Tia Dalma lowered her head down in shame. There was a distant noise, causing her to yelp in surprise. "You must be careful with Beckett. Go, I will see what I can do, but I do not promise anything".

Isabella nodded and turned to leave. "Isabella, wait!"

"Yes"?

"He was right before he let you go...your destines will always be joined".

Isabella turned and left. Hopefully she will be able to do something. Isabella was content to hear that she is now carrying a piece of James in her womb. Another piece of his love for Isabella...
