Where We Will We'll Roam

Chapter 12

Jack's P.O.V

She can't be with child! She just can't possibly be. My thoughts were interrupted by Lizzie's verbal train of thought.

"Jack? Even though Will is the father, I still love you I always will I was unfaithful to Will only moments before. But I need to do what's best and tell Will I'm pregnant.." Regret trailed in her voice.

"It's fine darling." I hope she doesn't hear the disappointment in my voice.

I grab me bottle of rum, rum always fixes things. It never betrays me, it helps me forget everything and everyone. I just ravished the woman I have been dying to have to me self ever since Turner introduced me to this beautiful creature. But I feel unsatisfied, is it because she said another man's name other than my own? I furrow my brow at my thoughts. 

Elizabeth begins dressing her self. When I hear a knock at the door, "Captain! We have arrived in Port Royal, may I come in to discuss an important matter?" I hear Gibbs' voice echoing into the room.

"Just a moment Gibbs!" I boom loudly at the door as I begin throwing Elizabeth's clothes at her, and quickly dressing me self.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I open the door, trying to catch me breath before Gibbs notices. I cock one eyebrow at him as I search his face for emotion. "What is it?" I tilt my head angrily as I say it. 

"We've arrived to the Port cap'n."Gibbs says trying to look around me.

"Aye. Get everyone off the ship, they can go to the brothel as me and the lady go to meet Dalma." Gibbs nods his head and walks off yelling out orders.

I sway drunkenly and stumble back into the room. "And...???" Elizabeth asks impatiently. "We're gonna go see an old friend. Goddess of the sea, partner in crime she was, is, was." I say slowly confused with my own words.

"But the-the crystal it's shattered." Elizabeth says as she looks at the shards all over the floor.

"Pick it up. All of it, and your hand luv we need to find out what that is." I say as I bring a cloth to cover her palm with until we see Dalma.

"I thought it was the symbol for the fountain of youth?" Elizabeth said, she furrowed her brow as she looked at her palm.

"It is. But why is it- why is it on your hand?" I sit there in thought squinting my eyes as if it will make me think clearer as Elizabeth cleans up the shards of crystal.

"We should be on our way dearie." I tap on the table twice with the ring on my thumb. Lizzie nods at me sadly.

We both walked out of me quarters. Lizzie and I walked off the ship and onto the dock. The waves clashed against the dock loudly, I could hardly hear me self think. 

Barbossa walked up to me quickly "Jack, I at moments can be very generous. I insist that I, watch the Pearl whenever you are not beyond the ship's perimeters."

I look at him with suspicion. "Aye you believe yer capable?" I said slowly, careful not to mumble my words.

"Aye." Barbossa said as he walked back to the Pearl.

Me and Lizzie were left alone on the dock in the dark and gloomy port. "It looks as if it may rain darling, we should hurry and meet Tia Dalma before it gets ugly. Savvy?"

Elizabeth just nodded her head in response and we began to walk to the Blacksmith's.
