Chapter two: ‘You’re
not getting it from me so you thought you’d get it from a tart?’
Jenny wiped the sweat from her brow and set back to
scrubbing the deck of Jack’s cabin with a wad of rags wrapped around a
*Godstone so as not to bleach the blackened deck, which Joshamee Gibbs had set
as her punishment. A wavenausnausea
rose up and she darted for the side cabin, reaching the head just in time. ‘Oh no…’ she groaned between bouts of
vomiting. This had been the third day
in a row she had been sick and hoped she wasn’t coming down with anything like
she had in Fortaleza. Jenny staggered
back to her duty and half-heartedly set to scrubbing the deck once more,
fighting down the queasiness in case Jack decided she hadn’t done a good enough
job and needed to be punished further.
He had barely spoken to her since they left Job Bailey and the tavern
the day before, busying himself with getting his Pearl shipshape and
re-stocked with essentiauch uch as timber, water and food.
‘Ya finished Jen?’
Jack strode across the floor and sat in his chair, propping his feet up
on the table.
‘Nearly,’ she replied, pushing a strand of hair from her
eyes.
He smiled wolfishly at the sight of her moving back and
forth then stood and crept up behind her with a practised stealth and knelt
down, moaning as her bottom connected with his groin.
‘Jack!’ she admonished, shuffling forward and glancing back
at him, a frown creasing her brow.
‘C’mon luv, that’s enough, eh?’
‘I’m not in the mood,’ she snapped, continuing with her
chore.
‘What’s up Jen?
Ya’ve refused me for nigh on a week now.’
‘I’m just tired.
It’s hard to be passionate when your belly is growling and your throat
is parched.’
‘We all felt like that Jen,’ he reminded her, standing once
more and looking down at her, his hands on his hips.
‘I know, I know… oh hell.’yes"> ‘Is Shay with him?’
‘Nah, I think Davy and Pete are showing him the sights, if
ya get me meaning,’ he laughed, his mates joining in.
‘I get your meaning only too well,’ Jenny smiled, shaking
her head.
The boat was quickly vacated by the men whose turn is was to
guard the ship and filled even quicker by those eager to get to shore. Jenny settled back and watched as the young
strong men pulled on the oars, taking them to the docks of Tortola
effortlessly. She accepted Dan Woods
helping hand from the boat and found herself in the middle of an escort who
took her to The Stag, holding the door for her as she stepped into the gloomy
interior. She blinked a few times in an
effort to get used to the dark then sought out Jack, smiling as she saw him
talking to someone who was out of sight.
She made her way across the room, leaving her escorts to head for the
bar and the girls, then she stopped dead as she saw Jack hand coins over to a
whore who thanked him by planting a loud, slobbering kiss on his lips.
‘Jack Sparrow!’ Jenny yelled, ignoring the hush that fell
over the inn as she marched towards him.
‘Just what the hell do you think you are playing at? You’re not getting it from me so you thought
you’d get it from a tart?’
Jack’s head wheeled round from the blow she gave him and he
wriggled his jaw about tentatively, making sure nothing was broken. ‘Now wait a min…’ He ducked as another blow came swinging round then straightened
and grabbed her arms before she could inflict more damage to him, both to his
body and his pride. ‘Out, now.’ He
ordered, and with some difficulty, managed to drag the struggling, cursing
woman out of the tavern.
‘You bastard,’ she spat, trying to kick him. ‘I thought I meant more to you than that,
you whoring bastard.’
‘Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Will ya let me explain?’
‘You were paying a harlot for her services, what is there to
explain?’
‘I was paying a har… Catalina yes, but not fer her services,
savvy? I was askin’ her advice on
somethin.’
‘What?’
‘I was askin’ what the signs of pregnancy were.’
‘Pregnancy…? Wha…?’
‘I think yer pregnant, Jen,’ he whispered, a smile playing
on his lips.
Jenny looked in astonishment at her lover then down at her belly
and back again. ‘Pregnant?’
‘Aye. Ya haven’t had
a bleed since just before we left Ireland an’ yer being sick and yer a bit
touchy… well, yer very touchy an’ I figured that mebbe one o’the girls
would know what the signs were. Plus
yer eatin’ the stock as fast as we can load it…’
‘That could be down to the stress of the last few months,
couldn’t it?’
‘It could yes, but… ya ook
‘Oh…’ she paused.
She had wondered if she was pregnant and now this seemed to confirm
it. ‘Oh Jack, I’m sorry. Oh, your poor face, I hurt you,’ she
whispered, stroking his cheek carefully, the tears starting to flow from her eyes.
‘That’s all right luv,’ he smiled, pulling Jenny to him and
holding her while she sobbed into his neck, his hand moving to her belly and
caressing it as he crooned soothingly to her.
‘C’mon, let’s get yer back t’the ship, eh?’ He led her down the dusky lane towards the docks.
‘Do you mind?’
‘What, going back ter th’ship? Nah, of course I don’t,’ he grinned, deliberately
misunderstanding her meaning.
‘I mean about my being pregnant.’
Jack stopped and cupped her face in his calloused
hands. ‘Yer carryin’ me babe. Why on earth should I mind about that, eh?’
he asked tenderly. But it does mean yer
definitely not comin’ with us when we attack Valentine.’
‘Jack! I told you, I
don’t want to be parted from you, especially not now,’ she pleaded, taking his
hands in her own. ‘Please.’
‘I don’t want yer in any danger. Not now I’ve got two of ya ter look after.’
‘Will I be any safer here, with the likes of Richie Page and
other pirates? Not all of them has your
morality and Shay can’t defend me from everyone. It would be unfair to expect him to. In fact, I understand he’s rather upset that you’re not allowing
him to go with you.’
Jack sighed heavily.
He and Shay had had words on the very subject a couple of hours ago and
Jack had realised the Irish temper was not to be trifled with. In spite of never having sailed any distance
and being very seasick on the crossing from Ireland, Shay was proving to be a
keen learner and was already competent enough to do various jobs on board. And Jack had also learned that Shay was a
dirty fighter, much like himself.
‘All right Jen. We’ll
find Bailey a ship then I’ll take yer to a safe haven, savvy? Scurvy Tom can stay wi’ya. He’s getting’ too old fer battle now but he
can still defend yer if necessary.’
‘I suppose I don’t have any choice.’
‘No, you don’t,’ he agreed, kissing her on the forehead then
winding his arm around her waist, his hand on her belly, he started back down
the lane.

Author’s notes:
Damn! You all know
me far too well…! ;)
A Godstone was a stone used to bleach the decks, so called
by the kneeling position that one had to take in order to clean properly.
