Angelica opened her eyes and found Jack's staring at her. A soft smirk was placed upon his scarred and rough face as he gazed at his lover with a hand on her back.
"How long have you been awake?" Angelica asked.
"An hour," He answered.
"You've been watching me sleep for an hour?" Angelica giggled.
"I could sit and watch you for an eternity." He kissed her forehead.
Angelica closed her eyes and snuggled into his chest, embracing the warmth that he radiated.
"Where are we headed, Jack?" She wondered.
"Wherever you want, darling," Jack held her closer.
Angelica opened her eyes and rolled over to look at the ceiling. "Spain?"
Jack recoiled his arm from her back and wobbled groggily to the door. He peeked his head out and called for Gibbs, who came drunkenly running.
"Yes, Jack?"
"Make way for Spain, Gibbs," Jack ordered.
"Of course. Erm, why aren't you coming out of your cabin?" The man questioned.
Jack winked at the man, who simply shook his head and laughed. Jack ducked his head back through the door as he heard, "Our heading is Spain!" Be shouted.
"Thank you, Jack," Angelica said as she ran a hand over her stomach.
Jack nodded and slowly sauntered over to her. "You could thank me even more," He suggested as he slowly pinned her flat against the mattress.
Angelica laughed and put her hands behind his neck.
Jack slowly leaned down towards her neck when she unexpectedly pulled his bandana over his eyes and rolled them over. Jack felt her presence leave the bed and he heard her closing the curtains. "Angelica?" He called.
Soon, he smelt her perfume near him and felt her hands on his chest. His shirt flew off of his body as her presence returned.
"You're a seductress," Jack commented.
"You're the victim," Angelica whispered in his ear. Jack's hands floated up to her hips and she dipped down to his face, attacking his lips. Jack responded, and groaned when she quickly moved away. His fingers drifted higher, up to her waistband and Angelica whimpered at his touch.
Jack swiftly made his move. He yanked her shirt up and pulled it towards him, making the shirt come off and causing Angelica to fall flush against him.
"You can't fool Captain Jack Sp-" Jack said as he removed his blindfold, but found no Angelica. "Bloody hell, where are you, woman!"
As Jack sat up, Angelica's arms coiled around his shoulders and landed on his chest. "You can't live without me," She whispered next to his ear.
Jack shuddered as he felt her bare chest pressed against his back. Her legs slithered around his waist and Jack pulled her shoes off in a hurry.
Angelica tickled his neck with her breath as he succeeded in removing her shoes, and started on her pants. Angelica fought to stop him as she realized what he was doing and ducked under the sheets.
Jack growled at her disappearance, but gasped as she reappeared at the foot of the bed and tugged his trousers off.
Jack smirked at her and grabbed the bottom of her pants as she tried to disappear again. Angelica's eyes went wide and she struggled to get away, but Jack was stronger and pulled the leggings off.
Angelica leapt away, but Jack caught her and sat her facing him in his lap.
"You can't escape me, love." He grinned and caught his breath as he stared into her eyes.
"Why would I ever want to?" Angelica kissed his nose.
Jack chuckled and threw her down on the mattress, immediately pinning her. "Don't you get tired of the pirate life?" Jack asked as he climbed on top of her.
"I've always been a pirate at heart." She answered and smirked at him, giving him confirmation. Jack fulfilled his hint to Gibbs and stroked his partner's hair.
"How's the little black cat?" Jack asked as he set his hand on the bump.
"A pain in the stomach," Angelica laughed. "It's beating me from the inside."
"Why do you want to go to Spain?" Jack asked.
"I'd rather not say."
Jack stared her strait in the eyes. "Angel, you can trust me."
Angelica sighed. "With the labor I've been sentenced to, I probably won't survive, so I wanted to have a last look at my home," She dropped her head.
Jack also fell silent and grabbed her hand. "You'll live."
Angelica looked to him and halfheartedly smiled.
"You will," Jack said. "You have to, the baby needs a mother."
A sigh escaped Angelica's tired lips. "I suppose so."
Jack buried his face in her hair, knowing that his reassurance could only go so far.
"How long until we mean the little sailor?" Jack asked.
"Only one month," Angelica grinned.
"There's what I like to see," Jack brought her smiling face to his.
Angelica warmly smirked and kissed him lightly. "I'm glad that the baby will have you as a father."
"Really?" Jack genuinely asked, "why?"
"If you've somehow managed to make it this far with me and not have to have your head sowed back on, you can handle anything," she laughed.
"That is true, darling." He grabbed her waist.
"If you're really wondering, it's because you're the bravest, strongest, and most caring man I've ever known."
"Go on," Jack leant back.
"You are one of the only pirates who shows bravery and courage, but then shows caring and compassion as well, and that's all I could ask for," She shrugged.
Jack pulled Angelica down beside him and closed his eyes. "I'll make sure to never change."
"Jack?" Angelica asked.
"Hmm?"
"I know I've asked before, but why do you stay?" She asked seriously. "What makes me different than one of your wenches?"
"Angelica, I can't begin to explain," He said.
The Spanish woman waited patiently for an answer, with her bottom lip pushed forward anxiously.
"You're j-just different," he stuttered, "you're not a push-over. You're strong, fearless, annoying as hell, stubborn, arrogant, confident, and all mine." He snuggled his face into her neck. "You secretive and mysterious, and you drive me crazy with your curves, but you drive me crazy in general."
Angelica laughed and pushed his head up to look into his eyes, soft and melt-worthy.
"I could list things for hours, but I'd rather just kiss you," he smirked.
"I think I might just agree, Sparrow." Angelica dropped his head and he caught himself just above her lips. Angelica opened her eyes at his tease, but he attacked her in the instant that her eyelashes left her cheeks.
"All mine," he repeated in a whisper.
"Always," Angelica confirmed.
