style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Jack looked up to place the face with the
voice. It was the boy from the
docks. The boy that had called Will
‘Uncle Will’. He slowly stood up, ever
so watchful of the boy and the sword.
With out his eyes leaving Jack, JJ reached down and helped his mother
up.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“JJ, put the sword down.” Madeline said
sternly as she brushed her skirts off.
When he refused, she yanked the sword out of his hands.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“This is your son?” Jack asked, looking
between Maddy and the boy. Madeline
looked at Jack.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Yes.
JJ say hello to Captain Sparrow.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“We met down at the docks.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> What does JJ stand for Maddy?” Jack asked.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Panic surged through her.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She prayed that JJ would keep his mouth
shut. “It’s his name Jack.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> JJ and that’s it.” She turned to look at her
son who was still keeping a cautious eye on Jack.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Did you do what I asked you to do JJ?” she
asked.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Yes mum.
Everything is done.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Good, now run along home and I will be there
shortly.” JJ looked up at his mother.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“I thought we were having dinner at Aunt
Elizabeth’s.” Madeline sighed. style="mso-spacerun: yes">
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Run along to Aunt Elizabeth’s and stay
there. Savvy?” she said.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Without realizing her choice of words.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She looked at Jack who was watching with a
raised eyebrow.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Savvy mum.” JJ said and ran off.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Interesting choice of words Maddy love.” He
said, reaching for her arm.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Jack, please let go.” She could feel the
warmth of his hand through the sleeve of her gown. It had been too long since she had felt his touch.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She craved it.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“No.
I will not let go. Now come
along, I’m sure dinner is waiting.”
Jack steered her towards Will and Elizabeth’s house but she held back.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Why are you here? In Port Royal.” She asked.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“My ship needs repairs.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I had no idea you were here.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> But now that I know you’re here, we have
plenty to talk about.” He pulled her
tightly against him. She put her hand
on his chest to brace herself. When she
did, she could feel the muscles contract from her touch. “I’ve missed you Maddy
love. I’ve wondered what happened to
you all these years.” His face began to
lower towards hers. Madeline felt her
breathing shorten. His lips mere
centimeters from hers. Her body ached
for his.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Is there a problem here Mrs. Skye?”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Madeline turned in Jack’s arms to see
Commodore Norrington standing there with a small regiment of troops.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Bloody hell.” She heard Jack mutter under
his breath. Madeline realized she was
still holding the sword and hid it behind her in the folds of her skirt.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“No, not at all. Jack and I were just talking.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Jack?” Commodore Norrington asked
questioningly.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Um, yes.”
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Good day to you once again Mrs. Skye.”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He eyed Jack as he continued on.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>Jack turned Madeline around to face him once
again. Fury in his eyes.
style='font-family:"CAC Camelot"'>“Mrs. Skye?”
