Thanks for the reviews guys and enjoy!

"Where's Katie? I want to see her," repeated Jack.

Elizabeth bit the inside of her mouth. "S-She's not here."

"Yes, I saw her," said Jack, moving his head from side to side.

"I told you she's not here. What's wrong with him?" Elizabeth asked Carmen.

Carmen sighed. "He's delusional."

"So what do we do?!"

"Nothing," said Carmen calmly.

"But I don't know what might happen to me if he dies," whispered Elizabeth.

Carmen began to feed him another cup of tea. "I think you should worry about what will happen to you if he gets better."

"I think you're being unreasonable, James," said Weatherby as they saw in the living room. "What purpose would it show to say that Sparrow and Katie were never married?"

"Because he doesn't deserve to be acknowledge to marry someone so pure like Katie," James said, coldly.

"Yes, but to bring more scandal to our family?"

Just them Katherine walked in looking very grim. "Katie, where have you been?"

"I went to church, but I have decided to sell the Black Pearl."

"I don't think you can do that," said James, standing up.

Katherine frowned. "Why?"

"Because your marriage to Sparrow is being annulled, so you won't be his widow. You won't be able to see any of his property," he explained.

Katherine glared at him. "You're not going to do that, understand?" she hissed.

"I'm sorry to inform you that I will. It just wouldn't be fair," he said, calmly.

"And it also wasn't fair to break our engagement, and it was even more unfair when I was practically forced to marry him," she spat. "Please, James. Save me the embarrassment. Let's just leave everything as it is. I rather be a pirate's wife than be a pirate's mistress."

James sighed. "You're right. You have suffered enough already with this."

Katherine nodded. "Thank you."

"And as the reference to the injustice that I made with you, I'm willing to make amends with you. When a prudent time has past, I'll be honored to accept to marry me," he said.

Katherine looked down. "It's too soon to talk about this."

The thought of being another man's wife scared her. "I-I'll think about it."

James nodded and kissed her hand. "I appreciate it. Good day, Governor Swann," he said and then left.

"You have shocked me, Katie. Would you really marry him?" asked Weatherby.

"I'm going up to my room," she simply said.

Jack let out a yelp of pain as he tried to sit up. Carmen quickly hushed to his side. "Don't do any forced movement," she ordered.

Jack panted as he looked up at her. "Who else knows I'm here other than Elizabeth?"

"Some of your crew. They've been staying here for a while now."

"And Katie?" he asked.

Carmen shook her head. "No, she doesn't know you're here."

"Why not?"

"Probably because she thinks you're dead just as the rest of Port Royal," explained Carmen.

"Dead? She thinks I'm dead? Why?"

"I don't know," said Carmen as Elizabeth walked back into the room.

"Are you all right, Jack?"

Jack turned his head and looked at her. "What were you doing at the head guard's office?"

Elizabeth sighed. "You said that I should be a distraction."

"I said you should distracted then. You could have used drugs or even an explosion. I didn't tell you to risk yourself," he said.

"It's over now, Jack. We were all very afraid of your wound, Jack."

"You shouldn't have said I was dead," he said, softly.

"We didn't have a choice! Besides, no one knew if you were going to survive."

"And the rest of the crew?" asked Jack.

"Will and Mr. Gibbs found them on the other side of the island. They took another ship instead of the Pearl so it would seem that we all died. The Royal Navy still has the Black Pearl. I-I also had to say that I left with you. They could have put me in prison, Jack."

Jack shook his head. "Why did you guys say that? Now Katie must think that I lied and cheated her, that we fled together and that we're dead. Lizzie, now Katie's free and hating me. Now thing is going to James from getting close to her," growled Jack.

"I think it's all a lie, Abby," whispered Katherine as Abigail brushed her hair.

"Why do you say that?"

"I think that Jack might have faked his own death to flee with Lizzie," she explained.

Abigail looked at her. "You mean they're not dead."

Katherine smiled sadly at the tone of her voice. "No, I don't think Will is dead either. There's no way Jack would leave the Pearl behind. He would have used every wit that he had to get his beloved ship. It was planned so that they won't look for them."

"Are you sure, Katie?" asked Abigail.

"Sure, no, but there are a lot of suspicions things that have to be taken seriously. I think that the only way to know the truth is by provoking him. That's why I'm selling the Pearl. He loves that ship and if I get to sell it I know it'll infuriate him."

"What if they are really dead, though?"

Katherine shrugged. "It's natural for me as a widow to see his property. If he is not dead, he'll come to see me, so that he can insult me and say nasty things to me, but at least I'll have the chance to tell him the asshole that he is."

Will and Mr. Gibbs came into the room that Jack was resting on. They haven't had the chance to see him yet. It was a relief to see their captain recovering well. "Do you have nine lives, Jack?" teased Mr. Gibbs.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Would you guys leave? Can't you see that he needs to rest?"

"Wait, I need you to tell Katie that I'm here. Tell her that once I recover that I'll look for her," ordered Jack.

"No! Have you lost your mind?" said Elizabeth.

Jack suddenly groaned in pain as he tried to sit up. "Lay back down, Jack," said Carmen, gently. "It's not the moment to make such efforts. Leave. There are too many people here."

"But she has to know," protested Jack.

"There would be time for that later, but for now you'll have to recover," said Carmen, stroking his head.

"Will! Do what you would do if you were in my situation! Would you do this to Abby?" he shouted, but then screamed in pain.

Elizabeth grabbed Will by the arm. "If you tell Katie, she'll expose everything. And when you do that, I'll go straight to James and tell them where you all you are," she hissed lowly, so that Jack wouldn't hear. Will gave her a dirty look and nodded, leaving Carmen to tend to Jack.

"I think I'm pregnant," whispered Elizabeth to Carmen as Jack slept Carmen looked at her stunned. "I've been late for about three months now. I need you to help me."

Carmen glared at her. "You don't want me to get rid of the Commodore's baby, right?"

"No, of course not," said Elizabeth. "But maybe you can help me into thinking that it's Jack's. Let me make love to him. In time, I'll tell him that the baby is his, then he'll never leave me."

Carmen sighed. "In the conditions that he's in, he won't be able to have sex with you or any other woman."

"But when he gets better, you can give him something to confuse him into thinking I'm Katie."

"Do you think I do miracles?"

"Don't tell me that there aren't plants that do that?"

"Yes, possibly," responded Carmen. "But, he must be willing to do so."

"Please, just do it. I'll take care of the rest," said Elizabeth.

"And if I don't want to," said Carmen, standing up.

Elizabeth stood as well. "Then, I'll report you all to James, including you."

Big surprise coming up so stay tuned for the next update. Thanks for reading and please review!
