Chapter 67
Madeline wrapped her arms around herself as she made her way to the deck of the Pearl. She stopped by JJ at the wheel and kissed him on his head before making her way back to the crow's nest. She looked out at the night sky and touched her lips. They still burned from kissing Jack. From touching him. She needed him.
Jack returned to the deck, "JJ, I think it's bout time for ye to go to bed now," he said softly. His mind a million miles away, he needed some solitude.
"Aye Da." He turned and jumped into Jack's arms. Hugging him tight. "I love ye Da."
Jack held his son for a long moment, "I love ye too son," he whispered. Jack put him down and smiled at him, "Ye sleep good," he told him.
"Aye." He said and jumped off the apple crate. "Good night mum." he yelled up to Madeline.
Madeline rolled her eyes and smiled but waved at her son. "JJ, don't yell."
"Aye mum." he said and ran off to Jack's cabin.
Madeline caught Jack looking at her. She tried to read the look in his eyes, but because of the darkness she couldn't. She bit her lip in frustration and turned back to her watch.
Jack looked back toward the stars; he touched his cheek absentmindedly where she'd kissed him. She had to choose between being happy or being right and she'd decided she'd rather be right... now Jack felt complete shut off from her, even when she touched him. He loved her but he had a crew and a son now to worry about not to mention his own neck. He felt she was dangerous to have around. The thing that made her the most dangerous was the fact that she didn't ever make the effort to change, he'd all but drawn her a picture and she'd still done everything he told her not to do and continued to defy him at every turn. No, his heart was of no importance to him, as it was no good to him dead.
Madeline toyed with the necklace around her neck. She found it in the bottom of her satchel. She had forgotten that she had put it there. It was a gold chain with a sun medallion. Jack had given it to her after they had raided a merchant ship. She always wore it when she was scared. And now was one of those times. She fingered the medallion. She watched as Jack continued to look at the stars. He had said he loved her, but she knew deep down it was barely held by a string. She leaned over to watch him and gasped when she felt her necklace slip out of her fingers. It crashed on the deck next to Jack. "Bloody hell." she swore.
Jack heard something hit the deck close by; he looked down and saw something sparkle in the moonlight. He bent over and picked it up, He looked at it briefly then put it into his pocket without looking up at the crow's nest. He sighed, she was at it still, he thought about sending out the sweeps to get them to Port Royal quicker, then he'd not have to contend with her antics.
Madeline watched him pick up her necklace and pocket it. "Bloody pirate." she swore and continued her watch. She pulled out her spyglass and scanned the night sea. She also listened. But the only ship she heard was the Black Pearl. She sighed. It was going to be a long night.
Just before the sun came up, Gibbs came up on board and took over for Jack. "We should be there in about two more days," Gibbs smiled.
"Two more days is too long," Jack said wearily.
Gibbs patted his back, "Get some rest captain," he said gently.
"Aye, thank ye Gibbs," Jack said and headed below deck.
Madeline heard Jack's conversation with Gibbs and sighed. Jack couldn't wait to be rid of her. She waited patiently for whoever was going to take over her watch. Listening to his voice, made her realize that Jack would never be hers again. She'd had offers for marriage in Port Royal, but no one would hold her heart like Jack. And for that, she couldn't betray her love for him. Even if he never returned to her.
Jack passed Tobey in the hallway just outside Gibb's cabin, "Going to take over for Maddy," he asked.
"Aye captain," Tobey said.
"Good," Jack said and continued on inside where he lay down and drifted into a deep well earned sleep.
Madeline turned when she heard Tobey climb into the crow's nest. She didn't say anything to him before she climbed down to the deck. She saw Gibbs watching her. She shoved her hands into her pockets of her jacket and strode past him. "Nothing is going to work Mr. Gibbs. I've come to that point.,� she said.
"Do ye really love him that much," Gibbs asked.
Madeline nodded and lowered her head. "Aye. I do." She whispered. "Perhaps I'm wrong in doing so."
"Don't think what ye just heard has anything to do with ye lass... Jack's an old sea dog... he's restless, been a long time since he's done any real pirating. He's thinking more about that then anything else at this point, ye best be thinking about that before ye decide ye want to try and tie him down, well, as tied down as he'll ever be," Gibbs grinned.
Madeline looked at him but didn't return his smile. "He wouldn't let me Mr. Gibbs. He'll never trust me again."
"First thing ye got to do is give him a reason too... he's waiting for ye to change yer mind about letting him take JJ out with him, once he realizes yer not going to interfere then he'll have a reason to begin thinking he can trust ye again... Maddy surely ye can understand how he feels and why he feels the way he does," Gibbs said gently.
"I was never going to stand in his way about taking JJ." She snapped. "I'm sorry Mr. Gibbs. I guess I�m a bit on edge.,� she said apologetically. "I understand how he feels and why. I took away the most precious treasure there is in the world. And I've apologized until my face is blue." She said turning and looking at the water. "And every time we talk, we end up arguing. I just don't know what to do any longer. I just want to feel his arms around me." She said turning back to him. "But it will probably be a cold day in hell before that happens."
"Jack doesn't believe in words Maddy, when will ye learn? Jack is a man of action; words are meaningless, especially because he's a pirate. It's actions that could mean life or death to him, not words," Gibbs pointed out.
"And everything I've done the last few days hasn't helped." She said and turned on her heel.
"When ye decide ye want to be happy instead of being right then yer actions will change, not before," Gibbs called after her.
Madeline leaned against a wall. "I do want to be happy." she whispered and made her way to Jack's cabin. She looked over and saw JJ sprawled out on the spare bunk she was going to lie down on. She covered him with the blanket and kissed his forehead. She turned towards Jack's bed and saw that it was empty. Where was he? She moved back to the other cabins and heard a familiar snore coming from Gibbs' cabin. She slowly opened the door and saw Jack sleeping. Would he be angry if she crawled in with him? She was damn tired. She stepped in and closed the door behind her. She took off her clothes, except for her long shirt and climbed in slowly next to Jack. He mumbled something in his sleep and she stopped cold. She heard his snores and clutched the blanket to her as she lay as far away from him as possible. Dreams on happiness filled her head as her eyes drifted shut.
Jack felt her crawl into bed with him, "I gave ye me cabin so ye could be with JJ," he muttered.
"And he's sleeping." she said quietly, her eyes still closed.
"Fine, I'd rather sleep in me own bed anyway," Jack growled getting up and walking out the door.
Madeline kept her eyes closed as tears fell from them. She fell into a fitful sleep. When she awoke, she knew that she hadn't slept for very long. She quickly dressed and headed for Jack's cabin. Neither one of them was inside. She got a cup of coffee from Lenny and headed towards the deck. She saw JJ on deck with Cotton. "JJ."
JJ looked at saw his mother. He ran towards her and hugged her. "Mum. Did ye sleep well?" he asked.
"No JJ. I didn't." She answered honestly. "Are you excited to sail with your father?" she asked. JJ practically jumped up and down.
"Aye mummy, I am. Are ye going to miss me?" He asked.
"Dreadfully." She said ruffling his hair with her hand.
"Are ye going to miss Da dreadfully too?" JJ asked holding her hand. Madeline merely nodded and looked out at the water.
Jack had decided to spend the rest of the early morning hours up in the crow's nest. He was so pissed off he didn't think it a good idea to see anyone. What was Maddy thinking crawling into bed with him? She obviously didn't care how tired he might be or that he might want to be alone. He looked down and saw her and JJ talking. He huffed and looked through his spyglass. "Dark beauty can ye learn how to fly," he muttered and caressed the mast of his prized ship.
The next two days flew quickly by as the Black Pearl made her way to Port Royal. Madeline spent many hours with JJ. Knowing they were few. She would see Jack watching them or even her when she was alone. She slept in the extra bunk in his cabin. Taking watch when she knew he would be sleeping or spending time with the crew. Mr. Gibbs figured they would reach Port Royal by the late afternoon on the second day. Madeline nodded and went in search of Jack.
Jack sat at his desk and wrote some random thoughts he had about where he wanted to go and teach JJ in his journal. He knew they would reach Port Royal today. Would Maddy refuse to let him take JJ with him now that they were at the end of the line?
Madeline knocked on the door and slowly pushed it open. "Jack?"
Jack frowned, "Aye what is it Maddy," he asked as he looked up and slowly closed his journal.
Madeline walked in and closed the door. Standing with her back against it. "Do ye plan on leaving right away tomorrow after we reach Port Royal?" she asked quietly.
"We'll need to gather some supplies, food and such, and I will want to get some sleep seeing as ye hardly have let me get any on board," Jack said clenching his jaw. "Or do I have to wait to be back out to sea to get any real sleep," he asked laughing sardonically.
"No, ye don't have to wait." She answered quietly. Damnit, she wanted him to make love to her. "Before ye and JJ leave, will ye both have dinner with me at my house?" she asked.
"JJ can go if he wishes, me... I'll pass," Jack replied furrowing his eyebrows. "Or should I pass up the opportunity to reject ye one last time before I go," he pondered aloud narrowing his eyes.
Madeline lowered her eyes. Damn him. Damn him to hell. She didn't respond. She moved to her bunk and began packing her clothes. She set it on the bunk and walked over to him. "May I have my necklace please or are ye going to keep it?" She asked looking at him. She would remember his face forever.
"I'll keep it, JJ may want something to remember ye by," Jack said. "Oh on second thought I'll come to dinner," Jack said as a deliciously evil thought came into his head.
"Alright." Madeline said still looking at him. What was he up to? She could see it in his eyes. "Can I get ye anything?"
As far away from ye as physically possible, Jack thought, "No," is all he said.
Madeline turned to leave. When she reached the door, she turned back to look at him. He was watching her. What in the hell was he thinking now? She quickly headed for the deck and waited for Port Royal to come into view.
Jack chuckled deep in his throat; oh he was coming to dinner all right. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the necklace, and put it into his journal before putting it safely away. Suddenly he was excited about getting back to Port Royal.
Madeline smiled when she saw Port Royal. It would be good to be home, but sadness filled her as well. She didn't know when she would see her son or Jack again after they left. She helped the crew tie the Pearl up and went to find JJ. He was with Jack.

"Jack, I'll meet you at my house around six if that's alright?" she asked quietly.
"Aye, JJ go with yer ma, I've got some errands to run before dinner, she might need ye to help," Jack told his son.
"Aye Da." JJ said and took Madeline's hand. They made their way to her house. Her maids were excited to see her. She set them in motion to prepare dinner. They would prepare it and then they had the rest of the evening off. She hurried JJ to take a bath, despite his protests of not needing one. Once he was clean and in fresh clothes, Madeline sent him off to play. She then herself took a long hot bath. She soaked in the tub and her emotions poured out. She sobbed at the fact that Jack was taking their son away and the fact that Jack did not want to love or trust her any longer.
Once finished, she pulled on her robe and checked on dinner and dismissed the maids except for Tess. She helped her dress and fixed her hair. Madeline looked at herself in the mirror. An emerald green silk dress with a low bodice. Her hair swept up on top of her head. Perhaps she should change. No sense in trying to seduce Jack when he didn't want to be. It broke her heart knowing he would be with plenty of whores on his adventures. She sighed and decided to leave the dress on. She wrapped a shawl around herself and called JJ inside to get ready for dinner.
