A/N: Hello everyone! I'm back! As usual, sorry for the long, long wait. I will post frequently this time since we are drawing near to the new Pirates movie and the simple fact that I'm tired of allowing precious time to pass between chapters! Well I hope you all read and enjoy!

Jack Sparrow

Later on that evening…

Before I went into town, I decided to stop by Elizabeth’s cabin to check on her condition. I entered the room quietly, and noticed Dr. Thompson fixing the cover on Elizabeth. I walked over to the bed and stood next to him as we both watched my sleeping beauty.

“How is she doing?” I asked as my eyes roamed over her body.

“She’s steadily improving. Most of the poison has been seeping out of her foot wound and other places.”

“Has her swelling gone down?”

“Yes it has but I’m still monitoring it.”

“Has she tried to talk?”

“She’s mumbled a few incoherent words in her sleep, but she’s starting to move her body more than a few hours ago. That’s a good sign because that means that her body is fighting off the poison.” Dr. Thompson replied cheerily as he walked over to his chair and sat down.

At that moment, Elizabeth suddenly began to mumble. I quickly moved closer to her and gently caressed her face and hair. Dr. Thompson then pulled out a book from his bag.

“I’ve read a few pages to her just to stimulate her senses. It’s important that she’s cognizant to the world around her and responsive.”

“Has she responded when you read to her?” I asked as I caressed her right cheek.

“She’s mumbled and groaned a few times, but nothing else.”

I then leaned over towards Dr. Thompson to read the title of the book. “Grimm’s Fairy Tales? No wonder she’s groaning. You’re reading children’s stories to her. She needs something more exciting…perhaps read her stories that are stimulating…stories about pirates. Perhaps…”

“You mean I should tell her stories about you Captain Sparrow? Dr. replied as he looked at me begrudgingly. “I’m sorry to tell you this but I don’t know of any stories about you. Plus I haven’t heard of you until today.”

His last statement took me aback. A sly smile crept across my face. “I’m sure you’ve heard of me.”

Dr. Thompson’s brow furrowed as he thought. “No I can’t say that I have.”

I rolled my eyes in disbelief, for I knew he was just being a prude. “Well then, since you claim to have never heard of me, it wouldn’t hurt to make up a story or at least mention me name. Besides, I’m sure that if you’d mention me she would be highly stimulated and recover faster.”

Dr. Thompson looked at me with great skepticism and smiled. “I’m sure Captain Sparrow…I’ll be sure to do that.”

At that very moment, Elizabeth started to mumble. I then began to caress her forehead.

“Mmmm…Ja…Jack.” She whispered softly.

My eyes widened with surprise. My heart swelled up with so much emotion that it skipped a few beats.

“Did she just say your name?” Dr. Thompson asked as he quickly got out of his chair to examine Elizabeth. “She hasn’t said anything coherent the whole time I’ve been tending to her!”

I sat down on the bed and held her hand and began talking to her. “Yes it’s me love, it’s Jack.”

She moaned again and said my name, clearer this time, but her eyes remained closed.

“Try to open your eyes for me, love.”

She tried to open her eyes, but still couldn’t.

“Uncanny…” Dr. Thompson replied under his breath, flabbergasted.

I looked at the incredulous old man with a knowing smile. “See I told you, women respond to the mere mention of me name. I have a powerful affect on them.”

He looked at me with disbelief. “I believe she heard you speak, that’s why she’s calling you. “

“Elizabeth, love…how are you feeling?” I asked as I caressed her face once more.

She did not answer but kept moaning.

“Ms. Swann this is Dr. Thompson, I’ve been treating you. Tell me, are you in any pain?”

In response, she moaned and shifted in bed even more, as she tried to move her legs.

“Does that mean she’s in pain?” I asked concernedly.

“It’s too difficult to tell since she’s been moaning to different stimuli.” He replied as he began to gently press down on different parts of her body.

“Lizzie…can you open your eyes for me? Open your eyes for me darling.”

She did not open them.

“Please open your eyes again love…I’ll give you a kiss if you do.” I said in a low, enticing whisper, but she still didn’t open her eyes.

“Well I guess she doesn’t want a kiss from you.” Dr. Thompson joked.

She moaned my name again, forcing her eyes to open, but for some reason they wouldn’t budge.

Dr. Thompson stepped away from Lizzie and sighed. “Well she didn’t flinch or make a sound when I pressed down on every area of her body. Perhaps she’s not in pain but is trying to communicate.”

I then caressed her face and held her left hand. “Lizzie …squeeze my hand if you can hear me.”

Nothing happened for a few moments that seemed like an eternity, until she gave my hand a weak, gentle squeeze. I nearly fell off of the bed from utter elation. I immediately kissed her hand, trying to fight back emotion.

“That’s my girl. I knew you would do it.”

“She seems to be improving more with you in here. She’s still too weak to open her eyes. I’ll try to get her to do that throughout the night. But for now, I’d think we’d better let her rest.” Dr. Thompson suggested as he sat back down in his chair.

I looked at Elizabeth, hoping she would just open her eyes for me. I leaned over and whispered into her ear.

“I love you Lizzie…I’ll always be here for you no matter what.”

I kissed her on the cheek, then planted a long, lingering kiss on her lips. She moaned and shifted her body. As I got up from the bed, Elizabeth would not let go of my hand. She suddenly began to moan.

“Ja…Ja…Jack…”

I was floored.
Dr. Thompson looked at me and smiled. “She doesn’t want you to leave, but it’s best just to let her rest for now.”

I nodded and turned to Elizabeth once again and gave her a long endearing kiss on her lips. I then reluctantly removed my hand out of her grasp and gently placed it on her stomach. It killed me to leave her.

“Don’t worry Captain Sparrow. I’m sure she will be fully awake soon and when she is, I’ll make sure you are the first person she sees. After all, your name was the first one she clearly spoke.”

I nodded and made my way to the door. “I’m going into town now. I will return later.”

Dr. Thompson nodded. “Goodnight Captain Sparrow.” He replied as he opened the fairytale book.

I looked at my love once more, hoping she would suddenly awaken, but she didn’t. I left the room and made my way off of the Pearl. As I walked along the beach into town, I struggled with my thoughts on running back onto the Pearl to be with Elizabeth. I was ecstatic that her condition was improving, but what made me even happier was that she’d said not just any name, but my name. As I walked into town through the crowds in the streets, I saw Gibbs approaching me.

“Jack! I see you’ve decided ta come out ‘n enjoy tha night! Any reason fer ya change of heart?” He said with a ridiculous grin. I could smell the rum oozing from his body.

“Aye…I do in fact have a great cause for celebration.”

“Does this cause for celebratin’ involve rum?” He said as his eyes beamed with drunken delight.

“Aye mate, lets go and get rum.” I said as I gave him a firm pat on the back as we both made our way to the pub.

Later that night….

As soon as I emerged from the third pub Gibbs and I visited, I was met by the beautiful nighttime sky. The moon was predominantly full tonight. It’s bright silver rays were slightly dimmed by a thin fog. I knew at that moment that I needed to head back to the Pearl before the fog became thicker and touched land. I’d finally reached my ship and was welcomed by the thickening fog and muted moonlight. The deck was seemingly desolate, except for three crewmen. Something very peculiar was amidst, downright ominous for some reason. Suddenly, I heard a faint mumbling sound that came from the far side of the ship. I thought that I was hearing things at first, for I was slightly intoxicated of course.
Instead of recovering in my cabin, I walked towards the commotion. I approached Lizzie’s cabin and peered inside through the small window. Dr. Thompson sat in his chair, fast asleep, while Lizzie still lay asleep in bed, too. Once again the noise broke through the silence, disrupting me from gazing upon my Lizzie. It seemed to be coming from the bow. I grudgingly walked away from Elizabeth’s cabin towards the noise. I placed my hand on my pistol just incase I had to defend myself and shoot someone…or something.

Finally, the thickening fog revealed the form of a man standing at the rail, leaning over the side. I watched as he took a few swigs of rum from the bottle and began to mumble nonsense. As I walked closer to the figure, his identity became more apparent with every step. The man’s wavy hair was tied back, slightly messy. His clothes were disheveled, but familiar. I soon realized that the bumbling idiot was no one other than Will. I watched him for a few moments as he leaned all the way back to take another swig of rum. He’d nearly fell back onto his arse. He then began mumbling to himself and to my surprise, began to cry. What the hell could be wrong with him? I’ve never seen him this way. I’d only seen him piss drunk when he’d rudely, yet unknowingly interrupted my intimate time with Lizzie. Little did I know that the cause of his agony would have a great affect on me…

A/N: So why do you think Will is so drunk and messed up? Could it be because of Elizabeth and the fact that she's sick or has life at sea finally got to him? Maybe he did something in town? Who knows but all I know is that you must stay tuned for the next chapter to find out! There will be fireworks, oohs ahhs and huh? Thanks for reading and take care! Be blessed!
