3 Months later....

"Gibbs!" I yelled summoning Jack's first mate up to the main deck. Jack and I had not told a soul that didn't need to know that we had married, for the crew would see it as dishonoring the code, even though Blackbeard married more times than I can count.

Gibbs made his way up to the helm and stood in front of me "Yes, Captain?" he asked with a smile. I smiled back

"Do you miss the other ship?" I asked him quietly spinning the wheel to the left

"Not really Captain, why do you ask?"

"Mutiny runs through my mind often now, Gibbs, very often" I replied scanning the crew

"Is that all, Captain?" He asked after a brief pause

"No, put your ear to my stomach and tell me if you hear anything.....irregular" I whispered looking quickly over at him then back at the open sea

"Really?" Gibbs asked with a laugh. I then looked over at him and narrowed my eyes. He gulped and nodded. After a few seconds he gasped and came back up "A heartbeat. But, how?" Gibbs asked

"A baby" I replied with a large smile."But you musn't tell a soul!" I said whispered quickly "If someone finds out, it might mean the end for us, all of us. Do not even tell Jack yet!"

"Yes maim!" Gibbs yelled with a solute. He walked away and began to do his daily tasks. I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment.

10 Weeks Later...

I awoke to find Jack staring at me "What is it, Hun?" I asked then his eyes went to my stomach, then back to my face

"How much rum have you had?" He asked suspiciously. I started to laugh then sighed and smiled

"Jack" I said holding his hand "Your going to be a father" I added with a laugh "Isn't it great?!". Jack's eyes were wide and he grew pale "Jack?" I asked he then moaned and fell backward onto the floor. I laughed then Gibbs helped me get him up.

"A baby you say?" Jack asked when he woke up from his coma. I nodded my head with a smile. "You are not to leave this room" He ordered. My eyes grew large

"Excuse me?" I asked with shock and a little bit of anger

"Do you know what these men would do to a woman who is pregnant? They almost killed my mother after she had me. No, that will not happen to you" Jack said defensively then his eyes wandered to Gibbs. Who nodded in understanding. Then he relaxed and looked up at me while patting my stomach. "Get her to a safe land" Jack said to Gibbs

"What?" I asked as Jack got out of bed.

"Gibbs, I want you to find a safe place on land where she will have care" Jack said as he put on his coat. Gibbs nodded and with an 'aye' he left the room

"Jack!" I yelled "There is no safer place than the 'Pearl! I shall be fine here" I yelled standing up and walking to him. He just shook his head and left the room. "Jack!" I yelled again trying to follow him but when I tried to leave the room, the door knob wouldn't turn. He locked me in. "Jack!" I screamed and banged on the door "Let me out this instant!"

After countless hours of banging on the door and screaming.....

I lay in the bed with the covers drawn up to my shoulders. Jack had came in and visited me several times throughout the day, but he would not budge on the idea of letting me stay on the 'Pearl. I had finally given up and let him do what he thought best. I sighed and fell asleep to the motion of the boat on the waves.

I woke to the sound of a frog croaking, 'That's odd' I thought 'How can a frog be in the middle of the ocean?' then I came more to my senses and didn't feel the motion of the waves any longer. I shot up like a rocket and looked around. I was in a small house, I was laying on a white cot and to the left of me was the wall, to the right there was a table. In the middle of the room there was a small couch and four chairs with a fireplace in the front of the room. On the far left of the house there was a small kitchen and a fireplace, next to the fireplace in the living room there was a small, white cradle with toys, blankets, and pillows. There was a note stuck to a small stuffed bear with one of Jacks bandana's wrapped around the head. It read:

If it's a girl, name it Morgan. If it is a boy, name it Brendan. I will be back soon, to check on you and baby. With whatever's left of me soul

Love,

(Signed) Cpt. Jack Sparrow

Tears formed on the sides of my eyes as I read the letter over and over again. I set the letter down and looked down at myself. They had re-dressed me, I was now in a dirtied white dress that ended near my ankles. I sighed and walked outside to see that I was now living in the top of a very high cliff. "So much for safe" I said wiping away my tears. Moments later as if on cue thunder roared in the background and the wind picked up, throwing my hair around behind me. I sighed and screamed "I love you Jack Sparrow! And I always will!" the tears reformed in my eyes and this time I couldn't hold them back. Two tears rolled down my cheeks, then out of nowhere someone grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.....
