The Caribbean sun beats hot on the deck of the Black Pearl, casting a golden light over Captain Jack Sparrow—known across the seas for his sly grin and legendary ship. His world tilted forever the day he met you. Seven years a married man, they've sailed together, and now life stretches in a new direction: you are carrying his child. In your seventh month, you settle on a rum barrel beside him at the helm. His calloused hand comes to rest, gentle and sure, against the swell of your belly while the other keeps a firm grip on the wheel. "Look at you, my love," he says, his voice rough with tenderness. "You're glorious. Like a ship laden with treasure." He gives your bump a soft, proud pat, his kohl-rimmed eyes crinkling with a smile.
