Chapter 64

Madeline slowly approached him. She wrung her hands in her shirt. "Jack." she said quietly. Hoping he would turn to her.

Jack's jaw tightened, "I kept me promised, what else is ye want," he growled without turning to look at her.

Madeline moved so she was right behind him. "I know ye did.," she said in a whisper. "Ye brought our son back." She brushed her tears away.

"Then ye should be happy and satisfied," he said still keeping his eyes on the horizon.

"Aye I should be.," she said quietly. "But I'm not."

Jack turned, "Let me guess, Jack ye should have found him sooner, ye should of found him before that bastard beat him," he growled then turned back to the wheel. He gripped the wheel so tight his knuckles went white.

Madeline moved around so that she was standing in front of him. "No that's not it Jack. There wasn't anything we could've done to find him sooner.," she said looking at him. "Ye know that as well as I do." She turned and her eyes scanned the horizon. "He didn't just beat him Jack.," she said crossing her arms in front of her.

Jack sighed heavily and waited for her to let him have it knowing short of killing her he couldn't stop her.

"Jack, ye will always have my heart. My very soul. I will love you until the day that I die." She said, her hair blowing in the breeze. "I've told ye before that every day since I left you has tore at my soul. Broken my heart every damn day." she said pounding her fist on the railing. "But now I can't do the right things, I can't say the right things to let me back into your heart and that hurts worse than anything." She turned to him. Wiped her tears away again. "When you have a moment, Captain Sparrow. Please come see your son. I might need your help in dressing the wounds on his back." she said and turned to move away.

"Take the wheel Gibbs," Jack hissed turning he grabbed hold of her arm,

"Come with me missy," he growled and pulled her behind him like a naughty child until they were in the brig. He shoved her into the cell and closed the door, "I've had all I'm going to take from you, now you just shut the hell up and listen to me," he growled. He had to stop and catch his breath. He glared at her daring her to speak.

Madeline looked at him with wide eyes. What did she do? All she did was tell him how she felt. Again, she angered him beyond belief. She didn't speak.

"Ye don't have any idea the meaning of pain but yer about to learn... oh yes missy... I don't want to hear another word from you as to how ye feel... it has occurred to me that ye are about the most selfish little brat I've ever had the displeasure of knowing... every word you've ever said to me has been to get what ye want. Ye don't care about anyone or anything but yerself and when ye don't get yer way ye get all up on yer fucking high horse and start laying some fucking garbage on me. Well no more lady!

I've made a decision and if ye don't like it, well that's too damn bad... I'm sailing Pang to Singapore then I'm sailing to Port Royal. When we get to Port Royal, YOU are getting off this ship and MY SON and I are immediately turning around and heading back out to sea. Why? Because I think it's high time I get to know my son but it's obvious to me that unless it fits into your little plan ye'll do everything ye can to keep it from happening. Gibbs told me what ye did while I was out getting my son back. He told me how ye screamed like a banshee, and why? Cause little miss priss didn't get her way... well la dee da," he shouted and pointed to her. He was on the brink of loosing it for real and just throwing her off his ship.

Madeline looked at him with wide eyes. She was already planning on telling Jack that he and JJ should go out to sea together. She had hoped to tell him later before he went on his tirade. She knew in the bottom of her heart that she had lost Jack forever. Their only link was their son. She straightened her body. "And did Mr. Gibbs also tell you that I stopped screaming when he came to the door? Did he tell you I was quiet as a mouse after he told me where you where?" she asked in a calm voice that surprised even herself. "Because I knew that if anyone would've heard me, that you and JJ could've been killed. How dumb do you think I am Jack?"
