Madeline smiled. "You'll have to take my new ship Will. It's smaller, but faster. Mr. Taylor will assist you." She said quietly and sighed. "I wonder where they are?"
"I'll check the tavern... tell the barkeep to keep an eye open for them if I don't find them," Will told her.
"Perhaps I should have Mr. Taylor go back every month until he gets it." Madeline said. "He's going to think I did this to trap him."
Elizabeth glanced at Will and hugged Madeline. "No he won't." Even though she knew deep down that's what Jack would think.
"Not to mention what Norrington is going to think," Will sighed.
"Bloody hell." Madeline swore. "I need to go." She said pulling out of Elizabeth's arms and headed towards the stairs. "William, I'll have the letter for you by the end of the day. I need to find Mr. Taylor."
Will caught up to her, "Maddy, you just stay here with Elizabeth, I'll find Taylor."
"No, thank you Will. I need time to think about what I'm going to write to him." She smiled sadly. She turned and slowly walked down the stairs and headed out of the Turner house into the bright sunny day. But her heart felt like a thunderstorm.
"And she wonders why Jack doesn't trust her... that is the most hard headed woman I've ever met in my life," Will said frustrated.
"William. That's enough." Elizabeth snapped. "She's always been that way. Look who raised her. That bloody bastard."
"Not to mention who her cousin is," Will said and ran down the stairs.
Elizabeth growled and then smiled as she watched her husband. "Pirate." she smirked.
Madeline found Mr. Taylor on the deck of her new ship. "Mr. Taylor."
"Ah, Captain. How are you?" He asked smiling at her.
"I could be better." She smiled sadly. "I need ye to prepare the ship to leave, probably tomorrow or by the end of the week."
"Aye, where are we headed?" He asked.
"You and Mr. Turner will travel to Tortuga. A letter needs to be delivered. And then once a month, ye will return to Tortuga to see if the letter has been picked up." She said sternly.
: "Might I ask ma'am, who is the letter for?" He didn't really have to; he figured it was for Jack Sparrow. The pirate had captured his captain's heart.
"It is for Captain Sparrow." She said quietly.
"Aye Captain." He answered and noticed how pale she looked. He reached out to steady her. "Are ye alright ma'am?"
Madeline looked at him and smiled. "Aye Mr. Taylor, I'm fine. Thank you. Ye have your orders." She said and turned to walk off the ship. Madeline made her way towards town again.
Commodore James Norrington walked through town searching for Madeline, he knew something was very wrong with her. He had tried her home but she was not there. So he ventured back into town. He spotted her in front of a shop. She seemed to be window-shopping but he knew she was deep in thought. He approached her carefully. "Madeline," he said gently as he reached her side.
Madeline slowly turned when she heard James speak. "James." She said quietly and turned to leave. She was going to end up hurting him more.
James touched her arm, "Madeline, why are you running from me," he asked. "If I've done something to offend you or upset you in some way please tell me," he said. Things had been going fairly well for the past few months and he'd bought a ring and it was burning a hole in his pocket as he waited for the right moment to propose to her.
Madeline felt tears in her eyes and she noticed people staring at them. "I'm sorry James. It's not you." She said and tried to move away from him. "People are staring."
James smiled, "Let them stare I'm not ashamed to be seen with you," he said taking her hand and kissing it.
Madeline closed her eyes. "You will be." She said and pulled her hand out of his and turned on her heel.
James stood there totally puzzled for several moments then ran after her, "Madeline what is going on? Why were you coming out of Dr. William's office," he asked trying to stay calm.
She kept walking. "I don't want to talk about this here in public." She said but didn't lessen her pace.
"Fine then we'll discuss it tonight," James told her.
Madeline stopped walking and looked at him. They were near the beach. She took his hand and pulled him towards a park that was there. She spun around to face him when they reached a small alcove of trees. "I’m pregnant."
James stood speechless for several moments. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. He took her hand, "Oh Madeline, my darling, everything will be all right," he said.
Madeline pulled her hand away. "It's not your child James.” she said sternly.
James once again didn't know what to say, he was too stunned at first. "How can you be so sure," he asked.
Madeline turned and looked at the sea. "I haven't had my monthly flow in over three and a half months James. Jack and I were together before we went looking for JJ. More than once." She said turning back to look at him. Tears filled her eyes. "I’m close to four months along."
James thought about this for a moment, "It doesn't matter Madeline, listen I've been wanting to ask you something for awhile now... but have been too scared to but with this turn of events now seems like the right time," he said. "Madeline, I would be the happiest man in the world if you would do me the honor of becoming my wife," he said.
Madeline looked at him. Stunned. "Did you not hear anything I said James? This isn't your child. It's Jack's." She wiped her tears away. "I couldn't marry you James. It wouldn't be fair to you."
"But you should not have to raise this child alone," James said. "I love you and I know I could love the child as my own, please Maddy, don't turn me down not yet... Sparrow will not accept responsibility for this child," he pleaded with her.
"No you couldn't James. You would resent the fact that it is Jack's child. I couldn't bear that." She said pleading with him. "Please don't call me Maddy." She reached out and took a hold of his arm. "I've raised JJ on my own this long haven't I?"
"Madeline... when have I ever lied to you? I won't accept your refusal of me... not before this baby comes... in the meantime, I want to be there for you, take care of you... please at least let me show you I can do as I tell you," James said getting on one knee looking up at her. If she pushed him away now he'd not know how he could survive. He hugged her and rested his head on her stomach, "My beautiful Madeline," he murmured, his eyes closed as he held his breath praying she'd not push him away.
Madeline fell to her knees in front of him. She lifted his face with her hand. "Oh James." She said stroking his cheek. "You've never lied to me. I can't ask anything of you. It wouldn't be right. People talk the way it is. When my stomach gets big...." she let her voice trail on.
"Let them talk... I don't care... you are the only thing that matters to me," he told her taking her face in his hands. He kissed her deeply.
Madeline cried as he kissed her. She returned his kiss. "I do James. You have your career to think of. You have your men to think of. Not to mention what my uncle will say when he finds out."
"My career is secure, my men may talk but they still have to answer to me... your uncle will wonder why we've not married, but he is a very proper man he will not gossip. Madeline, if you do not let me take care of you it will destroy me and hurt me worse then loosing my career or anything else. Please do not push me away, I'm begging you," James said wiping her tears away with his thumbs.
Madeline covered his hands with hers. "James." She said in a whisper. "I don't deserve you."
