Through the ups and downs

Baby, I'ma stick around

I promise we will be alright


33 days later…

Bright rays of sunlight were what had woken Jack up. He had slept in, which was actually unusual. The Revenge and the Pearl were still sailing side by side, but last night, and in actual fact, almost every night since they had left Rumrunner´s island, Angelica had slept in Jack´s cabin, aboard the Pearl, while Luna preferred sleeping aboard the Revenge, where she was allowed to sleep in Angelica´s cabin; the Captain´s cabin.

Yawning and stretching, Captain Jack Sparrow got out of bed, threw on his clothes and stepped outside, on board the Black Pearl. The worst of the damage from the battle had already been repaired and the ship looked beautiful, really. The sea was calm and deep blue, just like the cloudless sky on that day. The sun was warm and bright, and Jack was in a great mood straight away.

A smiling woman approached him, hugged him, and gave him a kiss on the lips. „Mornin´, luv." Jack greeted Angelica, like every morning. Ugh, he had become so cheesy and he ahted it, but couldn´t do anything about it.

„HELLO DAD!" Luna called, from the crow´s nest of the Revenge and waved. Jack waved back, but not before adding a „Hey, be careful up there!".

He turned his attention back to Angelica, whose smile had faded and who had become slightly pale. Before he could ask her what was wrong, she ran to the railing of the Pearl, leaned over and threw up. Jack, who was walking towards her, stopped dead in his tracks and stared at her, eyes wide in complete shock. he knew what this meant. She smiled apologetically while placing a hand on her belly.

Oh bugger.


THE END.
