She had thought about this long and hard. In fact, in the two days since she had last spoken to Jack Sparrow, it was all that she had thought about. She tossed and turned and contemplated the reasons as to why she should or shouldn't do this. And. by this morning, she had come to a conclusion that she would not go. There was too much to compromise and to give up; Will would soon be returning and she didn't want to risk young William's life. But, as the day went on and the afternoon grew hot, something had just... changed.
Elizabeth now stood on the dock, feeling rather over dressed for the occasion. She had left from work, a job she had taken up at the tavern. Dressed in a poofy dress, her hair well done, and looking a lot more like a woman than normal. She was getting a lot of curious stares, which she barely noted since she was preoccupied. She found herself contemplating whether or not she wanted to -or rather, should- actually do this.
She wasn't one to follow impulses, and now she was almost second guessing herself. But, Elizabeth forced herself to walk on down the dock. She found the Black Pearl with ease, only hesitating for a moment before starting on board. She retraced Jack's words the other night, remembering what he had said. And, with a very vivid usage of her memory, she found her way to the chart room. She leaned on the door, knocking twice, and then taking a sharp breath. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but she had been convinced. She only hoped Jack was here.

The Captain looked at the bottle empty like before where did the rum go "Why is the rum always gone" he murmurmerd to himself knowing he was drinking the rum and it was gone before he had drink the last drop Jack thought about Elizabeth would she come or would she not she had to honor the call though Jack knew if he had gone with her to her home he would of seduced her and he knew it. And she wouldn't have come but bailed on him if he had"his ways with her he sighed he had called together the brethern the pirate lords the ninth was still a mystery and he was worried he owed the man money he had borrowed money from them and never payed it back so he was a bloody thief a pirate who betrayed other pirates but when it came to Elizabeth something changed in him and he was terrified of the feeling he was loosing his touch of getting out of trouble instead into them. Jack was reading over the maps and was about to get more rum down in the cashe room when he heard someone knock. "Come in mate Jack thought it was one of his crewmates asking for something he could not give them at this moment but they were about to set sail in one hour.

Elizabeth held her breath in the few seconds that she waited to see if he were there. If he hadn't answered when he did, she was almost positive that she would have talked herself out of this entire thing. But, still acting on impulse, she stayed, only remembering to breathe when she heard his voice. So now, still acting on impulse, Elizabeth slowly open the door to the all too familiar room.
She assumed that Jack probably wouldn't be expecting her. She didn't know what time he planned to leave today, but she had probably already long passed the time he had given her to come. Nonetheless, she was here now. And, as she stepped into the room she forced an uncertain smile to her face. Elizabeth wasn't one to act on impulses; she normally put much thought and ration into her actions. But, here she was. That had to count for something.
Seeing Jack sitting there reading the maps, Elizabeth only stepped in a few feet, closing the door behind herself. She knew she was interrupting, but wasn't this where he'd told her to be? "Jack," Her voice came softly. For once she didn't have her entire rant planned out, so she was talking slowly. "I've thought about your offer..."

"Jack,. "I've thought about your offer..."
The Captain looked up at the woman before him hearing her voice send shivers down his spine so she came after all he had thought she wouldn't arrive before they would set sail. "Well now ye came Lizzie what a pleasant surprise love "So ye thought about me offer and what is it aye, tell me yer coming then Jack smiled to her showing his white teeth and his gold tooth was in view he swayed himself to her and stroke down her cheek. "Ye can't be dressed tis fancy ye make me men crazy sweetheart including meself aye"yer beautiful to bad yer married to someone else What a hell came over him was he getting soft damn Elizabeth caused those stirrings within him he had to shrugg it off she was his friend he had her once but that was a long time ago. Jack never let female affect him but two girls had done that to him Angelica and Elizabeth he was in big trouble if he would end in one room with them.

Elizabeth knew that she shouldn't be acting so irrationally, nor should she act on impulse. But, she already had one foot in, so she might as well proceed on. "I have decided to join you," She agreed softly, a small nod soon following. Jack grinned at her, and she slowly returned the smile. She only hesitated as he made his way to her, his rough hand stroking her cheek. She hated the power he had over her emotions. She was married, with a child to that man. It wasn't right. And, though she tried to convince herself that she had no feelings for Jack and that the only thing she felt was loneliness, she was having trouble convincing even herself that.
So, she took a small step back, smiling at him as if to say thank you for his complement. It was unlike Jack to seem so... well, mellow. She knew he was a good guy; this just seemed like he was going soft. "I know, which is why I caught my son on my way down. He is bringing our thing. I will change when he gets here." She explained this quickly, shifting rather uneasily as her gaze deterred from Jack. "This was all rather rash thinking. It really was not that well thought out."

Jack was very pleased with himself but didnt show it when he heard what Elizabeth spoke about Jack nodded to her and walked back behind his desk eyeing her. "Welcome onboard the Black Pearl love, "Ye will be me second mate on tis voyage now if ye have any questions regarding that then talk with me Lizzie Jack was not used letting women be at the helm of his ship but Elizabeth had skills if he didn't have Master Gibbs Jack would off asked Lizzie to be his first mate without thinking twice about it. "So how is young Turner doing love, is he exited for the journey aye Jack was not used to kids either he knew none and he hadn't had his own children either, not that he knew off anyway Jack had always been a cautios man and careful not risking it well it almost happened with her didn't it he had went all the way with Elizabeth acourse it was the rum to blame but Jack had quite memory of their lustful night together.

Second mate. Elizabeth found herself content with that. Jack had always done her well. And, she knew that she was a talented pirate. Pirate , a pirate lord, once captain of a ship... Elizabeth had done it all, but she knew she had much to learn. Plus, being a mother and a woman put her at a disadvantage. Honestly, she would be surprised if she could wield a sword at all anymore. "He seemed quite excited," Elizabeth admitted with a smile, "All he could talk about after seeing you the other day was pirates, Jack. I know you only spoke to him for a moment, but he loves you."
Elizabeth shifted gingerly, clasping her hands as she admitted this. Young William had always had a fascination with pirates. Always. It was in his blood, Elizabeth knew, but it almost seemed unhealthy sometimes. Meeting Jack had probably been the highlight of the young boy's life. "Sometimes I worry if it is really the best for him to have grown up around pirates. He's infatuated..." Trailing off, Elizabeth shifted her gaze to meet Jack, frowning. "Are you certain it is alright for him to be here?" [/blockquote]

"All he could talk about after seeing you the other day was pirates, Jack. I know you only spoke to him for a moment, but he loves you.""Sometimes I worry if it is really the best for him to have grown up around pirates. He's infatuated..." Are you certain it is alright for him to be here?"
The Captain listened to the bonnilass words and he was amused by her she seemed a bit nervous but still she wanted to come with him and her son was facinated by him he grinned and picked the words carefully. "Elizabeth i told ye it where fine he be ere love lads always love pirate stories and grow up listening to them and then becoming pirates because it is the only life that is worth living love to be free to do what ever you desire free to sail the seven sea's If yer cunning ye survive anything you just need to be brave enough to face yer fears " sometimes i flee to survive you know me but i came back so i learned from me heinos mistakes but pirates betray other pirates it has always been so but tis is what me life is about and yer son likes it aye" i might teach him to swashbuck then eh" What about you love are ye infatuated by me aye i always wanted to know if there was a slight possibility ye had feelings for me do ye Lizzie.
Jack was on dangerous path right now but he didn't harm anyone by words only and her husband William wasn't here now was he, Jack did wonder if she had seen him once those ten years he had been away sailing on the other side ferrying souls to the other world.

Feeling slightly reassured, Elizabeth allowed herself to relax just slightly. She leaned against the wall, smiling at Jack. His words had a strange way of calming her worries, and it was something that she rather appreciated. Jack was used to winging things and it worked out in the end for him, so maybe she should loosen up? she wasn't sure how she felt about Young William partaking in any of Jack's swashbuckling, but she supposed that was an issue for another time. Maybe it was her maternal instinct, but she kept her son on a tight leash and she wasn't capable of breaking that habit anytime soon.
So, she let the point go. She was about to change the topic, gracefully move along from that touchy subject when Jack's next words came. Standing up straight once more, Elizabeth stiffen. Her gaze now adverted from Jack's and a faint pink glow crept onto her cheeks. How in the world would she respond to such a question?
"I am a married woman, Jack." Elizabeth stated calmly. Still avoiding eye contact, she knew it best that she never answer this question in all honesty. She wasn't certain that she wanted to admit the answer to herself let alone aloud to Jack. This seemed to be the easiest way to dodge it. However, looking up she met his gaze for just a few seconds before she shifted once more. "I think it is rather irrelevant, do you not?" [/blockquote]

The captain chuckled and waltez over to the lassi and stroke her cheeks with his weather barren hands "Love yer maybe married but still here ye are with me aye not yer husband and maybe it is irrelevant of me to be tis frank but i am captain Jack Sparrow savvy tis is who i am love i try at least to see how far i can go if i recall we do have a past together in writting and twirling yer body wrapped under mine aye the memory is very fresh in me mind sweetheart but none of tis now yer boy is a fine lad he will become a good pirate one day captain even if that is what he wish for. Jack Sparrow knew women and see her cheeks change color was rather cute he knew he had something on her then he might use it in his advantage later and ask her again how she felt. Jack sat down and placed his boots on the table and greeted her one of his charming smiles and took a zip from his rum bottle. "Cheers luv and welcome to the crew of the Black Pearl

Elizabeth hated the way he made her feel. She could tell that he knew her secret. She had feelings for him. It was fairly obvious by the way she was avoiding both his question and the gaze. She met his eyes as he came forward, stroking her cheeks. He brought up their night together years ago and she flushed once more. She remembered it clearly, but she didn't want to admit to it. Elizabeth hated not having the upper hand.
Before she could respond, though, Jack swaggered back to the table. Elizabeth felt weak, leaning against the wall to stable herself. She forced a smie, trying to calm herself. She started to speak, when she heard a knock at the door.
"Mother? Mother, are you in there?" [/color] A child's voice followed by another knock. Relieved for an excuse to switch the conversation, Elizabeth smiled fully at Jack now. "That would be William. Where would you like us to stay?" Elizabeth made her way to the door, pulling it open for her son who stood there with their luggage. He grinned at Jack, waving, clearly enthused that his mother had made this decision.[/size][/blockquote]

The captain smirked some he coiled his hands in his brown curls eyeing the lassi before him did she really think he would give up so easily she was lucky now that her son interupted their so intimite conversation Jack smirked at the young Turner boy he looked like his mother he didn't see anything of William in him but that was just Jack he saw what he wanted to see most of the times. "We talk about tis another e'vening Lizzie love aye, savvy Jack went back to his table to look over the maps he was not sure how long this would take but he sure would not give up after all he was captain Jack Sparrow every woman fell head over heels for him he had affected Elizabeth once upon a time to bad he could not wipe the memory so easily from his mind.
