Evelyn looked over at Will as he climbed aboard the ship with Elizabeth. They seemed wearied and she watched them both pass with a smile as they headed into the the lower decks towards the cabins. She watched as Will seemed to take extra gentle care of Elizabeth as they walked away. It was then Eric wrapped his arms about her and she felt the weight of his head upon her back.
Evelyn sighed and shook her head. "Bloody 'ell Eric...I told ye ta jus' get back ta bed. Ye really don' need ta..." but she stopped, deciding to not to argue with him. She knew he could be just as stubborn as she was, and although she knew in her heart if she yelled enough he'd comply, she just didn't want to argue with him at the moment.
She stared out at the island as the crew slowly filtered back to the ship. "An' the size of a pillow? Jesus Eric, 'm not all that small ye know. 'Sides...I can still take ye anytime mate, an' that's all that counts." She told him, giving him a wink. Her hands rested on Eric's hands and she caressed them softly. Her eyes looked over to Will as he came back on deck and she smiled at him.
"Will! Good ta see ye made it out alive mate." Evelyn said with a small smile. She pulled back a few locks from her face and looked towards the cabins then looked back at Will. "So...er...Will. I noticed you were a bit...er...careful with Liz...is she alrigh'?" Evelyn asked lifting a brow as the cool wind blew calmly across them.
Will stood upon the decks looking out at the island and she looked him over carefully. He was always a strong, handsome man, very kind to her whenever she spoke to him, so she could see why Elizabeth loved him so much. They seemed so happy together, so eager to start a life together, something she hoped Eric and she could sustain, even thought their lives would be QUITE different.

*Eric laughed a little as she said she wasn't as small as a pillow and he held her tightly, sighing softly.* Yes you are. *He grinned, opening his eyes a little as she said she could still take him either way. He laughed once more and rested his chin on her shoulder, looking at her face out of the corner of his eye.* We might just have to see about that. *He winked.
As he lingered there it hit him that moments ago they had the Pearl practically to themselves with the exception of Mark and they would have had pleanty of alone time so to speak. Yet they were going to use it to go to sleep. He grunted, amused by the way life worked out sometimes. But he didn't really mind all that much, he loved Evelyn more then life itself and just being around her was what was most important to him.
As she began to speak to Will, Eric turned his head to face his friend and smiled a little, remembering that Evelyn didn't know yet that Will was going to be a father. The man would make a damn good dad, he did come off as the more caring, nuturing type of guy...Eric felt Will was an even bigger softie then he was, he doubted anyone would argue with that.
When Will finally answered her he eyed her casually to see how she would react to the news, wondering if she'd bring anything up with him and then he closed his eyes again, placing his head back upon her back.*

*Will noticed Evelyn smiling at him and he went over to her, returning the smile and leaning against the railing in front of her. He laughed and rolled his eyes a little as she said she was glad to see he made it out alive.* I am too! *He chuckled, honestly surprised he had. It was funny really, the only time he ever rang deaths doorbell and ran was when he was with Jack...he supposed it was just a game better played with two people instead of one.
When she asked if Elizabeth was alright he looked at her oddly and raised a brow.* Yes, she's fine why? *He asked, and then he remembered she had been kidnapped when the news was broke to him, she had no idea what situation he was in. He smiled brightly at her.* Oh yeah that, she's fine. She's uh, going to have a baby actually. I just found out a day ago or so. *He said and then nudged Evelyn a little with his elbow.* Eunuch my arse. *He winked, glancing at Eric as the man seemed to be falling asleep on Evy.
He laughed a little and shook his head at the two. They made one hell of an interesting pair. In fact it seemed a lot of Jacks crew were coming in pairs now, he was curious as to what would happen between his strangely odd friend and Tobbs. He blinked sleepily and looked out towards the jungle again. He was ready to go home, ready to start his family.*

*Tobbs blinked as he pulled her closer, eying the smug smile with suspicion and curiosity. It became even more so when he was speaking. So he didn't want to rush out now and get to the ship? Well, that was understandable judging by how impatient she was, and how she was rethinking going back to the Pearl at the moment.*
"A shame indeed...Why rush when we could 'ave all the time to jus'...further "enjoy" the rest of our stay 'ere in our own city of gold...sounds awfully tempting..."
*A sly edge slipped in upon her lips as he sighed and grinned in what definitely looked to be contentment. She was pretty happy herself. Indeed very happy. So happy, she felt more like doing something randomly fun. Well, then again fun worked. Fun always worked. Random was just another slight edge to go with it...*
*Anyways, just confusing again. Back on track. At least Tobbs was when Jack kissed her, and she sensed its slow start, the tease in it, the intensity that finished it off, because she returned it with an equal sense of enjoyment. She wouldn't doubt she liked being touchy huggy with Jack. She couldn't. It was written all over her by the way she tensed up a bit, her change in expression, just a mix of things showed it straight out.*
*So when he pulled back, she'd almost followed in turn if it hadn't been for the fact they were both almost out of breath. It was her turn to let a soft sigh of contentment escape her lips as she gazed down at him. When his words wrapped around her thoughts and pushed everything else back in her mind, she bit her lip slightly and smiled softly at him, lightly placing her hand on his cheek as she just held his gaze for a few seconds....he was really earning good points lately...but of course that was just another game...really, ina ll honesty, he was making Tobbs feel on top of the world, being genuinely cared for, and feeling the love from the one she loved in return. It was...amazing to her....and she felt, for the first time, almost, if not complete bliss...*
*Snuggling up against him, she let another sigh escape, taking one of his hands up in hers and resting it against the side of her face.*
"I'm glad too....very glad...."
*She smiled a bit more and went back to teasing mode.*
"And for what its worth, yer on my great list for the next century...."
*She laughed softly and removed his hand, kissing it a few times just to do so as she spoke.*
"But on a serious note...aye, I 'onestly couldn' 'ave done anythin' but wallow in the past if it 'adn't been for you Jack...and now...now I...well...."
*She closed her eyes and rested ehr head now on his chest.*
"I love you Jack...no doubt about it...you've got me 'ead over 'eels for you, Sparrow."
*Again her smile grew. It was funny to her, being just a year ago so stubbornly against even befriending anyone. But it was the truth...*

Evelyn looked to Eric slightly as he spoke and she rolled her eyes. "You an' yer bloody ideas." She said with a sly smile. She sighed heavily as Will came closer to her and she lifted her brows as he explained what was going on with Elizabeth. Her mouth dropped slightly and her eyes went wide. "Er...er...a baby? Already?!" Evelyn asked him, looking him over as if he were mad. "Well...I, I wish ye the best mate. Really..." she said slowly. Her heart suddenly raced at the news and she wasn't sure why.
Her thumbs ran over Eric's hands as they rested around her and she gave a short laugh. "Well Eric...yer lucky 'm not...er else I'd have some explainin' ta do..." she commented, giving him a wink. Then she sighed heavily, pondering over all of this. Eric and Evelyn had never even done anything remotely close that...in fact...they HAD had the chance, and in all honesty, while she lay there next to him, the thought had passed her mind briefly, but she held back.
Instead she knew he'd rather rest...or actually...he probably would have rather she had woken him up, but she was quite tired at the moment and it just wasn't the right time. Besides, simply being with him that close was enough for her. She never needed anymore than that, although someday she would want to know what that felt like when you were with someone you genuinely cared about.
"Wonder if that'll EVER happen fer us Eric..." Evelyn sighed, speaking softly and turning to look over her shoulder at Eric. "But that's a LONG time off mate. IF EVER that is..." She said a bit nervously, not really sure if they would ever settle down in that manner. "Either way it doesn' matter I s'ppose." She shrugged. "At least...I'm jus' happy with ye." Evelyn commented giving a small smile and looking out at the island which was now bathed in a luminous glow.
Evelyn sighed now and looked to Will. "Well Will, I'm happy for ye mate. Really...take care o' that Elizabeth mate. She seems like she'll need ye greatly, er at least it seems like it. I mean...not EVERYONE can be me can they?" Evelyn stated to him in a gentle tone and a small chuckle, not looking to Will.

::Jack eyed Tobbs a long while, then leaned towards her almost if he were going to kiss her again then drew back to look at her a bit longer. He frowned a little then smiled::
"Well...can't promise anything but if nothing else luv, life will be interestin' with me....." He watched her a while, and settled down onto the bed and wrapped a arm around her waist then closed his eyes::
"A city of gold.....did everyone get what they wanted?" Jack asked curiously. "I mean, they had a chance to take some?"
::Oddly enough he wasn't in any particular hurry to leave. The city would be here....nobody was going to run off with it...and everyone seemed happy enough to have him and his crew around...no rush at all::
:::Jack's settled down and grew still, almost still enough to be sleeping. but he was thinking. There was a lot to think about and Jack....ever the pirate, never let on that he actually thought things out. He did that in private and it was what he was doing now...::
::He felt like just sleeping to be honest. He felt the crew needed a good rest. Or at least a bloody nap. He had after all....nearly gotten eaten by cannibels, fallen over a waterfall....fought snakes...got stabbed in various places...and kidnapped by hormonal females...he was tired....::
"Yo ho...yo ho....a pirate's....life....for.... me...." Jack sighed and turned a bit so he was lying on his side with Tobbs held close to him::

*Will smiled a little as he caught Evelyns reaction to his news out of the corner of his eye. He figured it would surprise her, hell it had made him pass out! He glanced over his shoulder at her and gave her a nod.* Thanks, Evy. *He said and then inhaled deeply and yawned, weariness clearly showing on his face and in his droopy limbs.
He reached out and gave her a pat on the shoulder.* I wish you two the best also. *He winked and retreted below decks to return to his wife. He slipped into more comfortable clothes and let his hair out of its ponytail as he climbed in bed beside her. He laid on his side, gazing at her angelic face as she slept. She looked as perfect as a porcelin doll and he smiled warmly.
He leaned over and gently kissed her lips then slipped his arm about her waist as he closed his eyes and let the Pearl rock him to sleep. His dreams were filled with his childhood, but namely his father.*

*He nodded and kept himself silent again as Selina spoke on the mysterious other whom had once had a place in her heart, and apparently still held one. He didn't want to lose her, of course, and would do anything to stop frfom losing her in the future. He too cared for her, as much as she cared for him.*
"So I'll have to share your love then, eh? I guess I can manage"
*He tried to loosen up the mood by joking a bit, as he didn't really care if a thousand people had come before him; well maybe he would a smidge, but he'd not let that stand in the way of his love. Not at all. But the joke wasn't really a good attempt, no doubtedly...*
*But he was suprised when she kissed him and began running ehr hand down to his chest. Every little movement she made on his skin or against him amde him feel another sense of passion. He knew what the two of them were capable of together form the night they'd shared in that galley...but when she stpped and spoke, he blinked and listened carefully.*
"Aye...I do understand Selina..."
*He smiled a bit, just a tiny curve of the end of his lips, which soon faded when she began explaining her thoughts on love in the past. He kept silent longer, letting thoughts tumble in his mind on what to say, or what to do...*
"I do understand...I...I really do Selina...and as long as you're near me, I'll always care for you....no matter what the past may have added...I'll always care for you..."
*He let his arms wrap around her as he held her a bit, sighing as he still thought over everything.*
"If..well....I'll be more wary of my actions...actions don't show love all the time...we can work through this Selina...I believe in what we have...I always will believe...and if that means not rushing into anything again, or taking things from the start, at a slightly slower pace...than so be it... It's all up to you...."

*Tobbs smiled in return at Jack and nodded at his question, as she pretty much knew everyone had received what they wanted and were either on the ship or heading there. She didn't feel the need to rush so much either. It was all smooth sailing back to Port Royale, and they had tons of gold loaded on the Pearl.*
*When Jack was still, Tobbs thought. She didn't know for sure whether or not he was sleeping. She began recounting everything, a bit sleepily as well, wondering if she should just forget fighting sleep and try resting for a bit...*
*But she blinked a few times again. Rets? Why rest? That wasn't fun! She could rest back on the ship when she had no energy. They were in their own city of gold for pete's sake, what kind of chance like this would come around? But then again, probably tons would. Still, she wasn't ready to let herself go to sleep, neither Jack. If she was up, she'd make sure he was up. Just how the world worked, she told herself with a mischevious thought.*
*So, turning over, as Jack was on his side now and she was just in front of him, she nuzzled her head up against his chest just for the sake of waking him up, almost speaking in a whining yet teasing tone.*
"Jaaaaaaack.....no sleepin'! Come on....we can sleep on the ship....we're in our own gold city...you CAN'T be tired now...the room's cleared, no crazy native audience, no crew, and its a bloody room! That means cushioned flooring....Jaaaaaack..."
*She might be irritating him, she might be making him smile, it didn't matter. She was smiling playfully either way and was sitting up now, brushing her hair back behind her shoulders and bouncing twice to get the bed thing moving so it'd make him aware that she'd not be giving up.*
"Pleeeeeeasseee..."
*She put on a 'pupy-dog eyes' face and cuddles up against him again, tracing kisses along his collar bone, up his neck, and trailing just to his lips, where she stopped and looked at him again.*
"See...you've got my begging now....no sleepin'....sleepin's for ship, not huge private chambers...."

*Eric smiled as he felt Evelyns hands rubbing over his but he didn't move, nor open an eye. Her hands weren't as soft as a "proper womans" would be, but he still loved her touch. There was something comforting in it that he relished in everytime she touched him. He laughed a little at her comment.* That you would. *he laughed, though her words gave him a strange feeling in his stomach.
He had thought about it briefly, what kind of things were waiting for them in their future, if there were children but he never lingered on the thoughts long. His past gave him reason to doubt just how long the word "future" meant and he prefered now just to live in the moment, it seemed to keep him from getting his hopes up only to be let down. Honestly he didn't really even see himself being a father. But he'd be more then happy if all he ever had was Evelyn, she was all he really needed.
He smiled as she spoke and opened his eyes to meet her gaze.* It might happen someday, but right now all I want is you. *He grinned, that mischevious look coming back into his eyes. He listened to what she said to Will and as the man walked off Eric got up and stood beside her, stretching and looking out at the island. He slipped his arm about her shoulder and glanced up towards the sparkling night sky.* This place is really beautiful when you don't feel like you're about to die. *He laughed, running his fingers up and down her back as he continued to gaze at the sky.* I'm really glad I came, Evelyn. Somehow I knew that I would see you again, or at least I hoped I would. I really do love you. *He said looking back down at her, his eyes now seeming more awake as they danced softly in the moonlight.* I'll spend my whole life proving that to you. *He added and looked back out at the jungle, eager for the crew to return so they could be on their way again.*

::Jack opened a bleary eye and looked at Tobbs as if she were mad:: "Are ye forgettin what we've been through the last few days luv?" He asked her in his best "speaking to a rabid dog" tone of voice::
::But clearly she wasn't going to be stopped. He eyed her as she kissed him and raised an eyebrow::
"See...you've got my begging now....no sleepin'....sleepin's for ship, not huge private chambers...."
"An' just what are ye suggestin the huge private quarters are for then luv?" He asked her with a laugh and sat up. And just to drive her mad he got off the bed and walked to the door and opened it to reveal a rather glorious veiw of the golden city::
"Than again yer right....there's a whole city to see.....lots of gold to be packed....no need to rest in here when we can be runnin' about hualing more heavy loads of gold to the ship...come on then..." ::Jack made for the door, and chuckled to himself knowing Tobbs was full well either going to tackle him or toss something at him..or maybe curse and yell....either way...he had a few aces up his sleeve::

Evelyn looked to Eric as he spoke up and stood, stretching out beside her and she smiled up at him before turning back to the island and saying "Bloody giant..." in a low voice. "Haha...yeah, this place is beautiful..." Evelyn sighed as the cool air blew and the palm trees ahead swayed. The sounds of the jungle still reached their ears and she cringed at the sound of a soft hiss.
"I'm glad ye came too Eric." Evelyn began as she looked over to Eric. "Although...in the beginnin' ye didn' seem all too happy ta go along with me." Evelyn told him with a playful nudge. "In fact...when ye first saw me ye weren' very happy at all mate." She said with a laugh, remembering how she had re-entered Eric's life. "I, I wonder what ye'll tell Elinor when ye get back." Evelyn said softly, turning her honeyed eyes to him.
"I swear if that wench says ANYTHIN' ta me..." Evelyn began a bit heatedly. But as Eric mentioned him loving her and stating he would prove it she smiled again. "I love ye too Eric..." she said with a soft smile, looking up at him, turning her barrel so that it sat next to hers, and patting the barrel, beckoning him to sit with her.
"An' ye don' need ta prove anythin' ta me. I know...I can feel it. An'...I only hope ye can put up with my bloody antics." She laughed softly. " 'Cause I can put up QUITE the bloody tantrum when I'm worked up. But just so ye know...I doubt I could EVER stay too mad at YOU Eric." She smiled at him softly, crossing her arms and looking down at her ankle briefly.

*Tobbs smield vicoriously when Jack opened his eyes. She definitely HADNT forgotten what they'd been through for the past few days, which was all the more reason to enjoy such a time now! Well, at least that's what she thought. And could be HIGHLY persuasive sometimes.*
"Huge private quarters can be for very reasonable things. Reasonable can also mean wonderful and great. And I'm feeling quite reasonable about this chamber, if that makes any sense..."
*She smirked but it soon faded when he sat up and walked towards the door, opening it. She shielded ehr eyes from the glimmer, but nonetheless sat up and folded her arms about her chest, portraying quite the pouting face as she watched him.*
*When he spoke and headed for the door, she almost gasped. Oh nooo, he didnt. Leave just like that, would he? Didn't stand a chance. HE was the one persuading them to not rush in the first place. And now she'd been convinced. And she wasn't going to change ehr mind.*
"Well Jack, two can play this game..."
*And as she spoke, she loaded the area around her up with the soft pillows and began tossing them at him, the first enough to make him focus on the fact that she'd be not giving up, and the rest to just try and get him to stop. She was laughing quite happily now, knowing such a game they could make out of this.*
*When she realized he wasn't going to stop that easily, she contemplated her next move. Jump on his back....maybe...nah, not just yet. She could pounce on him later if he held up and didn't give in. So stop him plan b then!*
*Quickly standing and making her way to the door, she got there just in time to block his path from leaving, shutting the door that was behind her now and facing him with a challenging smirk.*
"Pillows might be too easy....to get out, you've got to go through me. And THAT's not going to be easy..."
*She let her eyes light up with even more challenge. He was going to play hard, eh? Well, she was definitely game..*

*Eric laughed mid stretch as she called him a giant.* Hey watch it, I might just have to squash you with my thumb or something. *He grunted, noticing her cringe at the sound of a hiss. He still couldn't get over how funny it was that she was afraid of snakes but not men twice her size and bulk. That was just Evelyn for ya he supposed.
When she said she was glad he had come as well he eyed her and smiled warmly, glad to hear her say those words. Despite the fact that they had reuinted again after killing a couple men and tossing them in the bay, he was glad he had run into her. Seemed almost like fate really, seeing as to how she HAD ended up in HIS house by pure accident in an attempt to hide from those men. He chuckled a little.* You didn't seem too happy either you know. *He said and then pondered what he would tell Elinor exactly.
He knew he had to tell her something, he didn't just want to leave without giving her some kind of explination. He grinned and rolled his eyes as she began to go on about what would happen if Elinor said something to her, he figured she might if the two women ran into one another. He sat back down as she moved the barrel.* If you can put up with me, I can put up with you....I think. *He said with a wink. He leaned over and kissed her cheek, then reached up and tilted her chin to face him and pressed his lips on hers for a long, gentle moment, before sitting back up again.
He smiled at her and winked then he blinked sleepily. He was starting to doubt he could stay up too much longer and wait for the crew. In fact, without meaning to he yawned again and his chin dropped to his chest. He fell off the barrel and landed on the cool, moist deck but by now was so tired that the fall didn't even wake him up.*

Selina looked to Michael and shook her head slightly. "Michael...you do not need to share my love. In fact...my love for the other is gone." She stated sternly, nodding her head. "It died with him...I...I simply..." she didn't know what to say. It was all a bit sudden for her really. She cared for Michael of course. Beyond how she cared for anyone else really, but to begin to trust someone fully again would be difficult for her.
She embraced him. "I am sorry I cannot give you all of that lies within me. Someday I will, I know it." She told him, her spanish accent pulling on her words slightly. She ran a hand through her dark tresses. She looked down to the floor of her cabin and then turned her eyes back at him. "Stay with me." She said softly, her hand resting on his neck. "Stay with me...please." She stated with a nod and looked to her bed.
"You do not have to if you wish not to but..." Selina trailed off as she undid her sash and tossed it upon a chair. Her boots were removed slowly and she sat on the edge of her bed. "I would like it if you did." She said softly, barely above a whisper. The flames cast shadows across Michael's intimidating figure as he stood by the candle. Her heart raced wondering what he would do, but hoping he would stay with her. If anything, Selina missed having him close.
Damn the crew, damn Jack's crew, damn the world, but of anyone, Michael was the one who would keep her somewhat sane, and she wouldn't be apart for him for anything...
