A Pirate's love

Chapter 42

Jack woke up with Angelica in his arms, smiling down at her. He stroked her matted hair.

"Jack....." she said in a moan.

"Yes, love?" Jack leaned down to her.

"Get me up" She said matter of factly. Jack frowned, thinking she was being seductive. "I need to feed Jackie." She said, walking tiredly to Jackie's nursery.

Angelica unbuttoned her shirt and picked up Jackie. She had no idea that Jack picked that exact moment to walk in. He stood there gawking as she fed Jackie. Angelica noticed him and gasped.

"Oh come on, love. Nothing I haven't seen before." Jack said walking over to her.

"You got a point, Sparrow." She said and went back to feeding their child.

Jack put his arm around her shoulders lovingly. "You'll have to teach me how to do this..... parenting thing." Jack said it as if it was torture.

Angelica chuckled, "pretty soon you will have to do it on your own. My sister is sick and I need to visit her."

Jacks jaw dropped, "For how long? When?!"

Angelica burst out laughing, " I will only be there a few days and I'm leaving in 3 days."

"Teach me." Jack whined.

Angelica giggled, kissing Jack on the cheek. "It will be fine, my love." Angelica pulled away from Jack and snuggled Jackie close to her. "I'll miss you, mi amor más pequeño." She whispered. Jack stared at her, smiling. Who knew a pirate could be such a mother.

Angelica caught him staring and handed Jackie to him, almost hesitant to let him go. Jack noticed and gave the child back to her, pulling her closer to him.

"En lo profundo de la pradera y bajo el sauce, los árboles se inclinan y susurran a la viuda, dicen para quedarse, y nadie puede culpar, las flores también señas y las criaturas de la misma." She sung in her native tongue to her child.

Jack stared at her, surprised she was so loving on the inside.

Later that night when Jack and Angelica were in Jack's cabin, Jack asked her what was on his mind.

"Where did you learn that beautiful song?" He wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she brushed her hair in her mirror.

"My mother used to sing it to me." She answered looking at her necklace.

Jack buried her face in her hair, "How am I going to do this while your gone. you set the bar too high." He whined.

"Jack, you don't have to sing to him. you just have to feed him and keep him alive." Angelica turned around and pecked his lips. "I know you can do it."
