Her immediate reaction was to stop him, but at the moment she wasn't so sure. Maybe it was better to go with your gut reaction than trying to do what you think is the right thing.
"No wait, don't go Jack"
She wasn't so sure what she was going to say as an excuse but it was worth a try. To see him walk out that door again brough back terribly dejavu- terrible memories and she only wished thigns were the way they used to be. Just her and Jack, not that she didn't appreciate Joseph.

Jack stopped at the door, just as he reached for the handle and turned around.
"Why?"

She tucked her hair behind her ear and looked down at the floor, her hands joined in her lap as she took a moment or two to get her answer out.
"Because, i can't see you walk away again. I missed you you know, and now that your here.."
She couldn't finish the end of her sentence as she didn't really know. She smiled lightly as she waited for him to answer, hopefully something of the good kind.

He blinked at her. Had he heard her wrong? It was she who left him.
"If I remember clearly, love..it was you that walked away from me. Remember?"

She took a moment in thought.
"Actually, i told you to leave as i didn't want to tell you about Joseph, if you stayed you would of found out now wouldn't you? I only pushed you away cos i knew that you would freak out if i let you know about him, besides you like adventour and you can't have that if you stayed here"
She cupped his hand in hers, hoping he would understand what she was saying and not take it to offense.

He sighed and patted the top of her hand.
"To start a family is a whole 'nother adventure. I would have stayed, Jen."
He said quietly.
"Now..I'm famished. Shall we get ready for dinner?"
He asked holding his arm out to her for her to take.

She shook her head, everything was moving rather fast for her liking.
"I'm not so hungry. Looks like it's just you and Joseph"
She gave him a half hearted smile and sat down on the edge of her bed.
"I feared you wouldn't stay though. Your the free Jack Sparrow. Why would you want to stay in Port Royal with me?"
She sighed after that and wonderred through her thoughts.
"Are you planning to stay tonight?"

He shrugged his shoulders lightly.
"If you and Joseph wish me to."
He looked to the door and then walked over to it.
"I suppose I shall see you later then?"

"Yes"
She mumbled and lay back onto her bed, primping her pillow behind her head and sighed, turning to one side and allowed a tear to spill down her face. She was a very fierced girl, you'd never expect her to be crying now would you?

He took a step towards her to comfort her, but thought better of it and went out the door and down the stairs. He came back into the kitchen were Joseph was and then sat down again.
[Oooh! What if Jen got real sick and passed away? Then Joseph would have to go with Jack no matter what? -blink- Just thought it'd be climactic.]

Joseph raised his eyebrow as he heard footsteps and hid the half drank rum bottle- what? He had to do something whilst they were talking! Peeking around the headboard he saw Jack and gasped.
"So.."

"Well, she's not hungry. So..we'll be dining alone. Unless you don't wish to."
He said shrugging his shoulders.

He looked down at the table and slid the rum into the nearest draw before Jack could see it was all gone and nodded, approving he was actually listening to what Jack had said.
"It depends what we have left"
He looked at the fruit bowl and smirked.
"Apple?"
He asked lifting one out of the bowl and holding it out.

He smirked and took the apple in his hand.
"Don't mind if I do. Thanks."
He said biting into it with a crunch.

He bit his bottom lip and took an apple himself, taking a bite.
*****************[ That night ]******************** The house was happily lit by candlelight, Jennifer in the end had agreed to cook eariler on, so everyone was fed and watered which was good- and rum didn't count as watered, though Jen took a happy swig when no one was looking. Jen was sat at the top of her bed reading a book in her lace night dress, a candle light by her bedside as she read the ink dried words of her old journal, yes from when she first met Jack to when she found out about Joseph, around that time.
Joseph was sat on the sofa staring at the fire with his feet up, and his shoes under the coffee table, sipping a glass of wine, which was rather unusual.
