The Fine Line Between Legends And Lies

Chapter 14:

A/N: Okay sorry it has been forever since my last update, but here it is! Hope you like it! Please review!

The days seemed to fly by since they had arrived in Shipwreck Cove. The days had turned into weeks and the weeks had in turn melted into months. Jack glanced down at the still sleeping form of his wife as he lay there in bed next to her. Gently reaching down he placed his calloused hand over the bump that had gradually appeared. Smiling Jack allowed his palm to gently slide across her belly. Elizabeth was now a little more than five months along in her pregnancy. While she had begun to voice her ridiculous concerns that she was becoming undesirable to Jack the more her belly became rounded. Truth be told Jack thought Elizabeth had become even more beautiful to him if that were even possible. She was the most intoxicating woman he had ever been with and even now that she was nearly six months pregnant with his child he found he was still incredibly drawn to her. Almost as if he simply could not sate his desire for her.

Yes Jack found it increasingly difficult to imagine being without her. No difficult wasn’t the word, more like impossible. Yes, that was it, Jack Sparrow had found the woman that he could never live without. She was what kept him going, kept him right so to speak. If Jack ever had to be without this wonderful woman he feared he would most definitely go completely mad. His dark eyes swept down to look at her again as she began stirring in his arms. Her eyelids fluttered briefly before they opened to reveal her soft chocolate brown eyes. Elizabeth smiled up at him sleepily. “How long have you been awake?”

“Not long love.” He lied, well not really lied, more like he stretched the truth somewhat. Jack had been awake for more than an hour just content to lay there and watch this beautiful creature sleeping next to him. But he didn’t want to confess such sappy notions to her. No pirates simply didn’t do such things. Her lips twitched upward as a smile began to creep onto her face. She pushed away from him and sat up turning to face him. “What?”

“Liar.”

Jack feigned being offended as he placed a hand over his heart. “Me lie? T’ ye darling, never. I can’t believe ye would even suggest such a thing.”

Elizabeth chuckled at his performance. If she hadn’t known him as well as she did she would have almost believed him. “Jack, you know I know you far too well for your charming tongue to deceive me.”

“Oh really? Well shall we test that theory love?” Elizabeth gave a small yelp as Jack pushed her down pinning her to the mattress with his weight. She tried to wiggle out from underneath him but found that he was much too strong for her to accomplish much of anything.

Jack leaned in and playfully nipped at Elizabeth’s neck coaxing a small moan from the back of her throat. He grinned against her neck as he felt her thighs spread a little wider to accommodate him between them. His voice was low and sultry when he spoke to her sending shivers down her spine. “Looks t’ me like me charm works jus’ fine on ye love.”

Elizabeth gave a small whimper as she slid her hands up to his chest and pushed him back a little. “You really are arrogant you know that?”

“That’s one of the things ye love bout me darling, even if it makes ye crazy.” His hot breath washed over her neck making her shudder visibly beneath him. Jack leaned down pressing his hips against her center eliciting another half moan half whimper from her. Her hands came up to wrap around his neck as she pulled him down to claim her lips in another scorching hot kiss.

Jack ground his hips against her softly making her push back against him to feel more pressure than he had given her. She whispered against his lips breathily. “Jack?”

“Hmmm love?”

“I need you.” He kissed her softly again as he reached down between them and began unfastening his breeches. Her fingers lightly touching his forearm stilled his movements. “Jack no, I want to feel your skin against mine. Please?”

He looked down at her to see her looking up at him with wide pleading soft brown eyes. How could he deny her what she desired? He couldn’t. Jack nodded as he resumed unfastening his breeches. Elizabeth watched as Jack slipped them off his hips and down his muscular thighs down his ankles to kick them off. His calloused hands came up to grab the hem of her nightgown and he slowly pushed it up her body. Elizabeth felt her eyes become heavy before closing as the last of the material was lifted from her body. The feeling of Jack’s chest pressed against her breasts was enough to make her eyes snap back open before slipping closed again as his mouth plundered her own.

She could feel Jack’s hands everywhere on her and it felt wonderful, almost heavenly. But when his hands slid down from her breasts to rest gently on her pregnant stomach Elizabeth froze momentarily before her hands grasped at his. Jack looked down at her questioningly. “Lizbeth?”

“Jack, don’t, it’s not…..I’m not…..” Her voice trailed off as tears began to well up in her eyes. She did not want to cry in front of him. Not now, not when they were about to make love.

“Yer not what love? Beautiful? Enchanting? Intoxicating? Shall I go on love?”

“Jack stop, you can’t mean that.”

“Oh all evidence t’ the contrary love.” Jack smiled as he pressed his erection softly against her thigh. “Yer the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen love.”

“Even now, now that I’m fat?”

“Especially now darling, yer fat with me child an’ that is more intoxicating than ye know.”

Elizabeth leaned up and pressed a bruising kiss to his lips making him feel all the passion that she felt for him. Jack pulled back and then caught her chin in his hand gently. “I love ye so much Elizabeth Sparrow.”

“I love you too Jack Sparrow, make love to me.”

“As ye wish darling.”

“Jack?”

“Hmm?”

“Do you like my belly?”

He grinned before pressing his forehead against hers lightly. “I love the belly darling.”

Elizabeth smiled and then wrapped her arms back around his neck as he leaned down to kiss her again. Jack reached down between them and guided his cock to her entrance to find she was more than ready for him. He slipped easily inside her and began gently thrusting against her. Elizabeth moaned against Jack’s neck as he moved against her. The sweet feeling of friction began to build making her raise her hips slightly to meet him. Jack pressed the palms of his hands flat against the mattress on either side of Elizabeth’s hips and held himself steady as he pumped into her. He was careful not to press his weight fully down onto her for fear of harming her or the baby. Elizabeth looked up at Jack her brown eyes half closed with pleasure as he continued to move against her.

It wouldn’t take long before she found herself on the edge of an enormous climax. Her inner muscles soon began to clench and quiver around Jack’s rigid length as the first tremors of her orgasm surged through her. Jack gave a small grunt as he felt Elizabeth’s nails rake down his back before her hands grabbed his backside and gave it a firm squeeze. He whimpered her name out through gritted teeth as he felt his cock twitch inside her. Elizabeth raised her hips and squeezed his backside harder pressing him flush against her. That was all it took for Jack to reach his climax. He threw his head back and cried out her name in a hoarse groan as his seed shot from his quivering manhood in hot sticky spurts rushing into her welcoming body.

Elizabeth cried out Jack’s name in a strangled moan as the tremors of his climax triggered her own release. She grabbed onto his lower back digging her nails into the flesh there as her muscles contracted feverishly around Jack’s erection. She could feel her orgasm beginning to dribble down the insides of her thighs mixed with Jack’s seed. Jack gave a few more thrusts and grunts against her before he pulled himself from her still shuddering body and collapsed onto his stomach beside her. Elizabeth could hear him trying to suck in ragged breaths as he lay there next to her. She reached over and ran her hand over his thick dreadlocked mane as she waited for her heart to stop racing. “Oh Jack….”

His voice was raspy and strained when he spoke. “Aye love, I know, it was……incredible.”

“Even incredible doesn’t sound good enough to describe how that just felt.”

Jack leaned up a bit on his elbows to look over at her with a smug grin on his face. “It was that good eh? Do tell dearie.”

She swatted at his arm playfully. “Jack! I’m serious.”

“So am I love. Do tell, what made it so much more better than it has been?”

“I don’t know, it’s like my body is a thousand times more sensitive now that I’m pregnant.”

“Ah I see, so the runt is the cause then?”

“Not just the runt as you call them, it’s being with you and being your wife and watching the baby grow everyday I suppose.”

Jack rolled onto his side and looked at her. He reached out and gently laid his hand across her rounded belly. Just then Jack felt Elizabeth’s stomach jerk beneath his palm and he drew his hand back quickly as if he’d been bitten. Elizabeth wrinkled her brow at him curiously. “Jack?”

“Yer stomach.”

“What?”

“It jus’ moved love.” Elizabeth placed her hand over her belly and waited for a moment before her eyes widened when she felt the tiny jerking sensation beneath her hand. She looked over at him and quickly grabbed his hand placing it back onto her belly.

Jack looked at her nervously as he felt the strange jerking sensation again. “Jack, do you feel that?”

“Aye love, am I supposed t’ be feeling that?”

“Yes Jack, it’s the baby.”

“What the bloody hell is it doing in there?”

“The baby is kicking.”

“Is the runt supposed t’ be doing all that love?”

“Yes it’s perfectly normal Jack. They’re just moving around in my belly that’s all.”

“Ah finding a more comfortable spot t’ lie then?”

“More or less I suppose.” Jack gave her a broad grin as they continued touching her stomach. “This is so wonderful Jack.”

“Aye love, it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever felt.” She felt tears sting her eyes as Jack leaned down and placed a gentle kiss against her belly. He looked up at her with a curious expression on his face as if he wanted to ask something but didn’t want to feel ridiculous for asking it. “Do ye think the runt can hear me Elizabeth?”

“Of course.”

“So I could talk t’ them then?”

“Yes.”

Jack grinned as he leaned the side of his face against Elizabeth’s belly and then began to talk in a low almost whisper. “Hey in there little runt, it’s me, Captain Jack Sparrow. I’m yer dad. Once ye get out of yer mum’s belly I’m going t’ teach ye all kinds of pirate things.”

Elizabeth reached down and touched the top of Jack’s head making him look up at her. “There will be plenty of time for all that Jack, but let’s just wait until he or she gets here first?”

“Oh right, well all in good time then runt.” With that Jack placed a soft kiss on her belly before sitting back upright. “Are ye hungry love?”

“Aren’t I always?”

He chuckled before answering her. “If I were t’ say yes, ye wouldn’t slap me would ye?”

“Jack Sparrow!” He ducked just incase she decided to slap him.

“Jus’ asking love.” Jack quickly rose from the bed and began pulling on his clothes. Elizabeth slowly climbed out of bed and began pulling on her clothes as well. Jack watched as she was about to start pulling on her boots when she suddenly pushed herself off the bed and quickly started towards the door. “Going somewhere love?”

“Bathroom!” He chuckled as he watched her dart out the door and down the hall quickly. Jack wondered if she simply had to relieve herself or if perhaps she was going to be sick. As of late she had not been getting ill quite as often as she had been which was a relief to Jack. She had been losing her meals so much at first that he had been afraid that she wasn’t going to survive much less be able to provide nourishment for their unborn child.

Soon Elizabeth was walking back into the room looking much more relaxed than she had been a few moments ago. She sat back down on the edge of the bed and began trying to pull on her boots. Jack watched as she leaned over but couldn’t quite reach to get her boot on her foot. With a frustrated sigh she tossed the boot to the floor angrily. “Bloody fantastic! Now I can’t even get my boots on!”

“Want me t’ help love?” Her cheeks reddened as she nodded. Jack chuckled as he grabbed her boots off the floor and knelt down in front of her. Jack slowly slipped on her boots and then took her hands in his. He kissed the backs of her hands softly. “There now, all better eh?”

“Yes, thank you Jack.”

“My pleasure darling, now let’s go eat.” Jack stood back up and offered his arm to Elizabeth. She took it eagerly and allowed him to lead her downstairs to the dining hall. Jack’s smile melted when he saw that Teague was already at the table. Jack pulled out Elizabeth’s chair for her and then sat down across from her. He thought to himself. *Oh great, we get t’ dine with the devil this morning. How lucky for us.*

Elizabeth smiled politely and addressed Teague. “Good morning Teague.”

He smiled briefly before replying. “Good morning yer majesty.” Elizabeth glanced across the table raising her eyebrows at Jack. When he stared at her blankly she kicked him in the ankle making him yelp. Teague glanced at his son and scowled.

Leaning over to rub his throbbing ankle Jack gritted his teeth and addressed his father. “Morning Teague.”

“Morning boy.” Was the gruff response and then there was nothing but silence as breakfast was brought out to the table by the servants. Elizabeth stared at Jack frowning as she poked a fork into her eggs. Jack shook his head at her as he glanced down and began to eat. Her eyes shifted to Teague and saw that he too had decided to immerse himself in eating rather than talking. Giving a heavy sigh she began to eat as well.

So this was how things were going to be then? Jack was simply going to refuse to speak to his father. And Teague certainly had no intention of making an effort to extend any sort of olive branch towards his son either. Elizabeth shook her head as she stole quick glances at both her husband and then at his father. They could be such adolescents sometimes. She blinked her eyes as tears began to sting them. Thoughts of her own father had begun to creep into her mind. Although it had been her choice to run away with Jack and become his wife she still missed her father a great deal. But she had indeed made her choice and it had been Jack. And it was far too late for her to start regretting the decision she had made now. No she didn’t regret that she had chosen Jack because she loved him. He was after all her husband and the father of her unborn child. Elizabeth could never picture her life without Jack Sparrow in it now.

But her heart ached for her father and the times that she had spent going to great lengths to avoid him before she had run away with Jack. How she wished she could go back and spend every precious moment she could with her father. She had taken her time with him for granted but there was nothing she could do about it now. No she could never go back to Port Royal with Jack because her father would see him hanged the moment they stepped foot on land. And then he would see to it that she was married to Will and that her and Jack’s baby was raised as Will’s child. And that was something she simply would not have. No she would never allow her father or anyone else to take her or the baby away from Jack. Elizabeth looked up at Jack again to see he was still busying himself with eating. Her eyes shifted back to Teague to see he had finished his breakfast and was excusing himself without even so much as one word to either of them. Rolling her eyes she shifted her attention back to her plate. Fine if that’s the way they insisted on things staying between them, then who was she to interfere? She wouldn’t. She had more important things to worry about like her unborn child and the possibility of Will and Commodore Norrington finding them. It would only be a matter of time before they found someone to force the information out of and then they would be on their way to try and bring Elizabeth back to Port Royal.

A/N: Okay this was a short chapter, but the next chapter will be longer. Jack and Teague have it out over Elizabeth. Will and Norrington squeeze information out of the locals on the island near Shipwreck Cove and find out where Jack has taken Elizabeth.
