Chapter 65

Jack remained at the wheel until they had reached Singapore. Pang left and Jack once again assured him he would return with the rest of his money. He watched Pang disappear into the crowds and hoped with all his heart Pang would not betray him, but on the other hand he was counting on it. He'd learned to hope for the best but assume the worst. He remained on deck until the ship was once again back out to sea and headed for Port Royal. Once out to sea Gibbs took over for him and he went to his cabin.
He sat at his desk and picked up his journal. He noticed a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up and read it, "More of the same, how refreshing," he growled to himself and waded the piece of paper up. He decided he needed something to eat so he headed to the galley. JJ was standing next to Lenny who was showing him something, "Ah JJ, did ye have a good nap," Jack asked.
JJ smiled at Jack. "Aye Da. I did. I'm feeling much better."
"Good, where's ye ma," Jack asked. He thought she would be glad to hear Pang was now gone.
"I don't know,� he said. "She wasn't in the cabin when I woke up. I haven't seen her since before ye were arguing with her."
Jack sighed heavily. �Are ye learning a lot from Lenny?� he asked.
"But being a cook isn't being a real pirate Da." JJ said still watching Lenny. Jack pulled Lenny to the table, "Sit down Lenny... JJ I think ye need to learn something. It takes a real man to be a cook on a pirate ship, let's show him how strong ye are Lenny," he said putting his elbow up on the table. Lenny put his on the table as well. The two men locked hands, "Ready," Jack said. Lenny nodded. "All right, go," Jack said. The two men immediately began to arm wrestle. Lenny's arms were as big as Jack's thighs and soon Jack's arm fell to the table. "Now JJ, ye still think ole Lenny ain't a real pirate," Jack asked.
JJ watched with wide eyes. "No Da. He's a real pirate alright." He said looking at Lenny and smiling.
Madeline made her way in the brig to a small storeroom. She laid out her blanket and pillow. Jack probably wouldn't even care that she wasn't in his cabin. She could hear laughter above decks. She missed her ship. She missed her crew. Most of all, she missed Jack.
"Not to mention all Lenny has to do is step aboard a merchant ship and the captain surrender almost right away," Jack smiled. "I think his quietness and size scare them," Jack laughed.
Lenny had gone back to kneading his bread, he chuckled, "Aye captain," he said. His voice sounded like it was coming from a deep well.
Jack popped another morsel into his mouth, "Ye have fun JJ learning from ole Lenny, I'm gonna go find yer ma," he said and went down to the brig. She wasn't there. Jack frowned, where in the devil was she? "Maddy," he called rather loudly once he had left the brig.
Madeline heard Jack calling her name. She curled herself into a ball. She felt ill. Physically and mentally. As much as she hated thinking about being without him or JJ, perhaps it would be for the best. Let Jack get on with his life since it was obvious he didn't want her any longer. Only their son.
Jack began to look around and continued to call her, "Maddy ye get yer arse out here now or I swear yer really going to be unhappy when I do finally find ye," he growled. He could not believe how totally lacking of self-control the woman had... would she stop at nothing to piss him off?
Madeline slipped the necklace she was holding around her neck and tucked it inside of her shirt. She came out of the small storeroom where she was. "Aye Captain." she said softly.
"Are ye deaf? I been calling ye for I don't know how long or did ye forget yer still on me ship and I'm still captain," Jack asked angrily.
Madeline stood up straighter. "No Captain, I didn't forget.,� she said, not wanting to look him in the face.
"I thought ye'd like to know that Pang is now gone... we're now headed for Port Royal, now question for ye is do ye want to take the night watch in the crow's nest," Jack asked.
Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. She was grateful for his help, but she was even happier now that he was gone. "Aye Captain. When do ye need me?"
"I'd like to give Tobey a break," Jack told her.
"Aye Captain. Let me get my coat." she said still not looking at him and turned towards the storeroom.
"And yer not sleeping in the damn storeroom, ye take me cabin with JJ and I'll bunk with Gibbs, after all I'd think ye'd want to spend as much time as ye can with ye son before we set sail together but instead I find ye hiding out like a rat," Jack huffed then turned and walked away.
Madeline growled under her breath and fingered the necklace. She wondered if Jack would take the wheel tonight. She spun on her heel and picked up her coat. She picked back up her satchel and blanket and pillow and made her way towards Jack's cabin. When she got there, JJ wasn't there. She began to worry but remembered he was safe. As she put her things down, she saw a crumpled piece of paper on the floor. She bent to pick it up and saw it was what she had written earlier. Jack must have seen it and thought it was all lies again. She didn't know how she could convince him otherwise. She saw that the sun was setting and made her way to the deck of the Pearl. Stuffing the paper in her pocket.
Louis Jacquette sat at the table in his cabin on his ship. His fingers traced the knife in his hands. He looked up as his first mate knocked and walked in. "Well?"
"They left on a ship with black sails sir."
"Black sails. Did you by chance find out the name of this ship?" he asked, his hand gripping the knife.
"Aye. The Black Pearl."
Jacquette's eyes widened. "That bitch." he swore and flung the knife across the room. Watched as it landed in the wall. �If she thinks she has seen the last of me, she is dead wrong.�
Jack went to JJ, "I want ye to go up in the crow's nest with ye ma for a while, I think ye need to spend some time together before we set sail," he told him.
JJ nodded at his father. "Aye Da. I mean Aye Captain."
Jack turned to see Maddy come up on deck, "JJ is going to go up into the crow's nest with ye, but I don't want him there all night," he told her. "Go ahead JJ, ye ma will be up in a moment," Jack smiled down at him. JJ nodded and went up the rope. Jack turned to Maddy and caught her arm as she tried to walk by him without looking at him, "Before ye go I wanted to tell ye I found ye note," he said coldly.
Madeline didn't turn to look at him. She could feel the coldness in his voice. Felt the hatred in his hand on her arm. She was so tired. She loved Jack, but was sure he didn't return her love any longer. "And it doesn't matter does it Jack?" she asked in a whisper.
"No but I keep asking myself why do ye keep saying one thing and then ye turn around and show me with yer actions something totally opposite... why do ye keep trying to play me for the fool? Do ye think ye'll just wear me down? Do ye not yet understand that ye made this mess, not me... and yet ye keep expecting me to make it right? It's one of the things that has driven me mad over the past few days, " Jack said frustrated.
Madeline finally turned and looked at him. "I don't know what to do or even to say to you anymore Jack. I say the wrong things; do the wrong things. I try to do better for you, to you, and it isn't good enough." she said quietly, trying not to get angry even though she was hurting inside. "I know I made this mess Jack. And I've told you if I had to do it all over again, I would never have left. I would have told you I was pregnant." She brought her fingers up to her necklace and nervously tugged at it. "I've regretted it every day since then."
JJ looked down and saw his parents standing together. He saw that Jack still had his hand on Maddy's arm. At least they aren't arguing he thought.
�Gibbs, take the wheel.� Jack growled and walked away.
�Do ye want to know how to win him back?� Gibbs asked her.
�How?� She asked looking at him.
"Stop chasing him, he's a pirate the harder ye try to capture him the harder he's gonna fight it. He still loves ye, but trust is of great importance to him, so he's angry because he trusted someone and they hurt him. So, let him take JJ out the sea for awhile, and when he returns, and he will... don't be so willing to welcome him with open arms but instead let him catch ye... appeal to the pirate in him," Gibbs chuckled.
Madeline eyed him. "I love him so much.,� she said as she looked to see where Jack had gone. She saw him standing by the bow. "And it hurts so bad not to be able to touch him to love him."
"Well, ye do what ye want to but I'm telling ye, if ye want him back ye got to let him go," Gibbs told her with a shrug.
Madeline knew he was right. But would Jack return her love? "Thank you Mr. Gibbs." she said quietly as she turned to climb the ropes up to the crow�s nest.
Jack went to his cabin and sat at his desk with his journal. He put it away so it was out of sight, and wouldn't be a temptation to Maddy or JJ. He then lay down on his bed, Maddy would be up in the crow's nest for a while and so he had time to sleep in his own bed for a moment. Jack thought back to when he and Maddy had first met and how she'd stolen his heart. He'd not made it easy for her then, could he ever trust her again? He closed his eyes wishing he could, fearing what might happen if he did.
Madeline smiled at JJ as she climbed into the crow's nest. "Mum, ye can see the whole world from up here." he exclaimed.
"Almost." she said with a smile. "Let's see what's out there shall we?" she said pulling out her glass. She scanned the horizon and saw nothing. Which was a good sign. But she still felt jittery.
She looked at JJ who still had a huge smile on his face. "JJ."
"Aye mum."
"When you and your father sail, listen to him. Respect him. Don't make him angry,� she said sternly.
"Aye mum. I promise." he said flinging himself into her arms. She held him tight and kissed the top of his head.
"I�m going to miss you dreadfully,� she said wiping away her tears. JJ looked up at her.
"We'll be back before ye know it mum,� he said hugging her again.
"I know JJ,� she whispered. Any amount of time would be too damn long for her. "Make your father proud JJ. Show him ye can be a great pirate."
JJ looked up at his mother again and saw her tears. "Please don't cry mummy. I can't bear it when ye cry." he said reaching up to wipe her tears. Madeline smiled at him and hugged him tight again. They spent the next two hours talking about the places that JJ wanted to see and things he wanted to do. Madeline told him that he and Jack should make a list of places to go and perhaps Jack would take him there.
Madeline could hear the crew mulling about below. "Ye should go down now JJ. Get some supper."
"Aye mum." he said and quickly climbed down the ropes. He landed at Gibbs' feet. "Ahoy Mr. Gibbs." he said with a smile.
"Ahoy there Master Jack," Gibbs quipped. He smiled, there was no mistaking who the boy's father was. Those dark eyes were too distinctive.
Jack got up and started to go up on deck just as JJ was coming down, "Ah, good I was about to come get ye for dinner," he grinned. "Is everything ship shape," Jack asked with a grin.
JJ saluted his father. "Aye Captain. Not a ship in sight and mum is keeping a sharp eye,� he said with a smile.
"No saluting here son, this is a pirate ship not one of the Royal fleet," he chuckled. "Do that kind of thing if ye ever find yeself sailing with Commodore Norrington and his lobsters hey," Jack laughed.
"Now why would I want to do that Da? Don't wanna be a lobster. I wanna be a pirate." He said proudly. "Be a pirate just like me Da. Mum told me some stories about when the two of ye first met. She said ye would fight any man that looked at her."
"I'd prefer not to talk about that JJ," Jack said solemnly.
JJ hung his head. "I'm sorry Da."
Jack looked up at the crow's nest, damn it once again his son sounded like his mother, "Hey I will tell ye about the time I did get to sail on Commodore Norrington's ship... I commandeered his ship as a mater on fact," Jack said hoping that the change of subject would get JJ's mind off his mother.
JJ's eyes widened. "Ye did? Da tell me please!" he begged.
Madeline could hear the laughter below her and smiled. She loved to hear her son laugh. And her smile brightened when she heard Jack laughing as well. She was going to have to make a difficult decision and the thought of that nearly wanted to make her throw herself out of the crow's nest. She would be polite to Jack for the remainder of the voyage and when the stopped in Port Royal. Well, she knew she had to tell him. Knew that she had to tell him that she wasn't going to push any longer.
