Summary: this was the begging of their life together.
It was a beautiful ceremony everyone in Port Royal had to admit that. And of course it was Elizabeth Sawnn was getting married as the governor's daughter everyone expected nothing but the best. And it was the smartest of matches, Oh yes they were a very smart match as today just as she promised she was marring James Norrington, and because of that he was the happiest man in the Caribbean.
Oh yes the Commodore couldn't be shaken by the loss of Jack Sparrow of the cost of Tippliey because of that hurricane, he would have been an idiot to go through that thing. He has his future wife to think of. And now it was worth it, he was married to the most beautiful woman in Port Royal if not the Caribbean, no the empire, and she was waiting to consummate their marriage in the other room.
As he walked in she was a vision, sitting in his bed, her hair was tumbling down her back in golden ringlets, her face flushed with worry, her chest heaving in wait. All that just for him. He knew that this was scary for her, tonight was the night she truly became a woman, and he was so proud it would be him who made her one.
She had been staring at the door so long that when he did finally come in she was shocked to see a man she never thought she would see. He was in only his britches, northing covering his well toned torso, gained for the years of navy work she guessed. And as she trailed up there was no white powdered wig as had seen so many times before, but shot brown, neatly trimmed hair. And he looked all the better for it.
Gone was the stuffy Commodore before her was the man she could call husband.
He crawled onto the bed and over her, taking in every bit of her beauty. As he reached her he took and deep breathe to make sure he was dreaming this like he had many time before. As she looked up at him he saw a look he had never seen in her eyes before even with everything she had been trough this is the first time he could truly say he saw fear in her eyes.
"Elizabeth, there is no need to be scared, it may hurt at first but I promise I will make this as wonderful as possible for you"
She looked in to her husband's eyes thankful for the kind words. "James I am sorry but this is scarier than I thought it would be." She chuckled, "I could not have wished for a kinder man to make me a woman" and with that she was the one who issued there first real kiss.
It was passionate and wonderful and full of force but he pulled away as hard as it would be and said
"Elizabeth Slow down we have the rest of our life together, tonight is just the start"
And with that Elizabeth Swann nay Norrington, became a woman.
