When Jack got back to his ship Angelica was not in his cabin. She left.... It's over, he thought. Jack sat on his bed and laid his head in his hands, thinking about what to do next. Where to go. It had been 9 long years since he didn't have her by his side.
Jack heard the door open and close and expected it to be Gibbs.
"What do you want." Jack growled, keeping his head down.
"I want to know why you are mad at me." Angelica stood in front of him with her arms crossed.
"Angelica I thought you left! You weren't in the cabin." Jack got up and tried to hug her but she didn't return it.

"I should have if you're going to do this over something that, 1, may or may not be true and, 2, is not my fault either way. And I wasn't in here because I was with Jackie. I have a life outside of you ya know." Angelica defended and rounded the bed to the closet.
"Angelica I'm sorry." Jack said, trying not to smirk as he watched her slip on her nightgown. "I was just-"
"I meant what I said at the pub, Jack. Not the don't come home part, although I did in the moment, but the part about I've had enough. The past three days have been filled with lusty men taking advantage of me and I am done with it, at least for tonight. I am not talking about this tonight anyway." Angelica got in bed and turned away from Jack. Jack took off his shirt and got in bed next to her, putting his arm around her.
"I love you, my angel." He whispered in her ear.
Angelica gave a long, sad sigh and then whimpered, "I love you too, mi amor."

No Sparrow was a morning person, but Jack got up at 7 sharp to make Angelica breakfast.
He laid the tray on the bed and sat next to her.
"Love?" He whispered to a sleeping Angelica.
"Yes, Jack." She mumbled.
"I.. made you breakfast." Jack now realized that it was an awkward thing to do.
"Well I don't think you could make it any more obvious that you are trying to make up to me, and not doing this just cause, but thank you." Angelica acknowledged.
"Can we talk about.....this......now?" Jack pleaded.
Angelica sighed. "If you have something to say, say it. If you are leaving, leave now. I'm not hiding anything so spill." Angelica said.
"Love, I wanted to say that.... if you are....preg- well anyway I would love your child as if it were ours." Jack fiddled his thumbs.
Angelica giggled. "Jack that was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. And I have good and bad news." Angelica paused for effect. "The good news is I'm not pregnant. The bad news is I might want to rip your head off for the next four days or so."
Jack breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't even care as long as I don't have to know that you have his child. I would keep true to my word but I'd rather not have to."
Angelica chuckled and stroked Jack's cheek.
Jack grabbed her waist and pulled her closer until their lips were centimeters apart.
"I love you, mrs. Sparrow." Jack breathed.
Angelica could feel him rum soaked breath dance across her lips, a curious smiled formed across hers. "As do I." She countered and broke the distance between them.
Angelica broke away as Jack started to push her down on the bed.
"Just to keep my word, you know I'm not letting you take advantage of me either right?" She layed her hands on his chest to push him away if need be.
Jack gave her his big sad eyes.
"It's not working Jack, I can see right through the sadness and into the back of your head where you are trying so hard to keep your lust hidden. That is adorable." Angelic pushed him away and got up herself, grabbing her sword.
Before she left Jack yelled, "I AM NOT ADORABLE!"
Soon after, he heard Angelica hysterically laughing outside his door.
