Jack literally jumped to her. He took her in his arms. “Maddy. Oh God, what did ye do love?”
James held the smoking pistol in his hand. He looked at it and threw it in the ocean. “Cease fire! Cease fire!” he yelled. Cannons and pistols stopped firing from both ships. Silence was all around.
Madeline coughed and looked up at Jack. His hands covered hers, trying to stop the blood. “Jack, it won’t stop.“ she said. “It hurts.”
Jack fought back tears. He watched as her once white shirt was now stained with the crimson color of blood. He could feel the wet stickiness of it as it covered both of their hands. “I know love. Why did ye have to be so bloody stubborn. Ye should’ve stayed in the cabin.” he said scolding her. He could see her color pale.
“Someone get me some bandages!” he yelled to no one in particular. He glanced up and saw Gibbs standing there, surrounded by the rest of the crew.
JJ stood with Anna Maria, her arm holding him. He swallowed hard when he saw Gibbs shake his head. Knowing exactly what he was thinking. Maddy wasn’t going to make it.
“I saved you Jack. I couldn’t let him kill you.” she said in a hoarse voice.
“Who?” Jack asked.
“James.” she said. Jack glanced up and looked over at the Dauntless. James Norrington stood there. Watching.
“Oh Maddy.” he said kissing her forehead. “Aye, ye saved me, just like the first time we met.” he said.
Madeline smiled weakly. “Aye Jack. Just like in the tavern.” she said. She looked down and saw the blood. She could feel herself weaken. “Oh God, I’m dying.”
“No love. We’ll get you home to Angel’s Heart. Get you patched up. You’ll be fine.” Jack said, trying to be reassuring.
Madeline reached up and touched his cheek. “Ye are a terrible liar Jack Sparrow.” she said with a small smile.
Jack pulled her more tightly into his embrace. He wasn’t ready to let go. He wasn’t ready to say good-bye. He looked over at JJ who cried silent tears.
“Where’s JJ?” she asked. “Where is our son?“ JJ came rushing over and knelt next to his parents.
“Mummy.” he said taking her hand and squeezing it. “I’m right here.”
Madeline looked at her son. So like his father in every way. She smiled at him. “Take care of your Da. Give him lots of grandbabies. Especially little girls.” she said squeezing his hand. “Let him spoil them.“ Her eyes filled with tears, knowing she would never see JJ’s children.
“Mr. Gibbs.” she said in a slow breath.
“Aye ma’am.” Gibbs said kneeling down. Sadness filling his heart.
“Take care of Jack. Please.” she pleaded.
“Aye ma’am.” he said standing back up. He reached down for JJ who shrugged him off.
Madeline let go of JJ’s hand and took a hold of Jack. She inhaled deeply, trying to catch her breath which was now becoming very shallow. “Oh Jack, it wasn’t supposed to end like this.” she said as her tears continued to fall. She could tell Jack was fighting his own tears.
“You broke your promise.” Jack said gently. Brushing her hair away from her face. “You promised you would never leave me.” he said and kissed her paling lips.
“I’m sorry Jack.” she said crying. “I owe you a shilling.“ she said with a small laugh. She clutched his hands. “We were supposed to grow old, sail away into the sunset.”
“Aye. I know love. I know.” he said in a mere whisper for her ears only. He kissed her again. Madeline closed her eyes and inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. “No, not yet Maddy.” Jack pleaded.
She opened her eyes and looked deeply into his brown eyes. “Remember India Jack?” she asked.
“Aye. I remember.” he said, unable to fight his tears. “I remember every touch. Every caress. Every kiss.” he whispered.
“Kiss me Jack. Kiss me one last time.” she said.
Jack bent his lips to hers and took a taste of her for what would be the last time. Madeline put every remaining ounce of strength into the kiss. She clutched at him. Not ever wanting to let go. But she did. Her last breath leaving her.
Jack felt her body go slack. He pulled away from her lips and looked at her face. Her once shining eyes now stared blankly at him. “Maddy. No. You promised.” he whispered. Brushing her hair away from her face. He kissed her now still lips again before pulling her against him and sobbing silently. “You promised.” he whispered. Knowing she could no longer hear him.
JJ buried his face in his hands, knowing his mother was gone.
Jack reached up and gently closed Maddy’s eyes. He slowly stood, still holding her in his arms. “Mr. Clark.” he called to his quartermaster.
“Aye Captain.”
“Will ye and Mr. Cotton please find something aboard this ship to build my wife a coffin. I’m sure there is something you can use.”
“Aye.” Mr. Clark said and hurried away.
“Jack, we should bury her at sea.” Gibbs said. “She was a captain too.”
Jack slowly turned to his first mate. “I am taking my wife home Gibbs. I will put her next to our daughter where she belongs. Do you have a problem with that?” he asked sternly.
“No Captain.” Gibbs said, regretting his words. He turned to the other pirates. “Set course for Angel’s Heart.”
Jack gathered Maddy close to him and was about to turn to take her to their cabin so he could clean the blood from her body. But instead turned towards the Dauntless. He stared at James Norrington, not saying a word.
James Norrington fell to his knees as Jack Sparrow faced him, holding the only woman he had loved with all of his heart and soul. And he had killed her. Killed her because of his hatred for the pirate that had stolen her heart.
Jack turned away from the Dauntless and moved towards the stairs. He saw JJ still on his knees, crying. “JJ. Keep to your watch.” he said.
JJ looked up at his father. Tears still in his eyes. He opened his mouth to speak.
“Jack, he just lost his mother for God’s sakes. Give him time to grieve.” Gibbs said moving to stand next to JJ.
Jack turned. “Am I or am I not still captain of this ship?” he asked sternly.
“Aye ye are.” Gibbs said.
“Then follow orders.” Jack snapped. He watched as JJ slowly stood. Wiping his face with the back of his hand. He turned and scurried up to the crow’s nest. Once there, where no one could see him. He sobbed.
