Enjoy chapter 4 and thanks for the kind reviews.

Oh yeah, and Will's drunk for the first five minutes.

Elizabeth was true to her word and was indeed at the shop at daybreak.

Of course, Will and the others had only just fallen asleep. Jack had somehow managed to get his hands on some rum which seemed to appear out of thin air and had somehow gotten them all to stay up the whole night drinking. Yes, Will was included in that equation. And Emma and Anna had only stayed up to watch them get drunk.

Elizabeth was beginning to get very angry and she took out the special extra key Will had given her in case of an emergency. "Will, Will I'm here. Where are you?"

Someone stepping out of the darkness alerted her and her head turned. "Elizabeth," Emma said.

"Mum."

The girl ran over and gave her mother a big hug.

Emma then kissed her forehead. "How I've missed you."

"I've missed you too. Where are Will and the others?"

Emma was about to respond when she pulled her daughter down to duck. A bottle soared above them and smashed into the wall behind them.

"Was goin on?" a voice slurred.

Elizabeth turned slightly in shock.

"William, go back to sleep and you can see Elizabeth later."

Will rubbed his head and came closer to his wife. "Was I supposed to remember something?"

Elizabeth almost had to hold her breath; he reeked of rum. "Later darling. Later," she said clearly disappointed.

Will leaned over to give him a kiss but missed her face completely. "My aim seems to be a bit off," he said with a light laugh. At least he seemed to know he wasn't himself.

Elizabeth smiled and kissed his hand before he went off to sleep. "Explain," she said to her mother before a crash was heard.

"Fell over a chair. Don't worry," Will's voice floated from the back.

"Well since they're unavailable at the moment, what shall we do?"

"Is Anna incapacitated as well?" Elizabeth asked.

"No," a voice said in the doorway.

"Good morning Anna," Elizabeth said.

"Sleep well?" Emma asked.

"As well as expected."

"Will tells me to come the next morning and I come and find him drunk," Elizabeth said.

"Come on, let's go around back. I'll make us a little breakfast," Emma said.

About an hour and a half later as the women ate and gossiped Elizabeth had a huge smile on her face. "I'm so glad you all came but do you have the proper clothes because we could all go out and buy something nice..."

"We're fine. Everything is under control," Anna said.

"Good Morning Ladies."

Everyone turned to find Jack at the doorway with a still slightly asleep Bill. "Where's Will?" Elizabeth asked.

"He's safe just like I promised."

"Then why and how did you get him so drunk last night?" Emma asked.

"Just luck I suppose. Scoot over and hand me a bit of the food."

"I'll never forgive you if something happened last night."

"Love we were in the shop the whole time. Come to think of it just where is that man who used to own it?"

"Mr. Brown seemed to up and leave one day while we were gone. He left the shop completely to Will in return for his years of neglect."

"Good riddance. That man knocked me out that day you know."

"We know Jack," Anna said.

"So does anyone know when Will is going to make an appearance?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't know I mean we had a lot of ru... I'm sure he'll be down in an hour or two," Jack said quickly covering his arse.

"Well then, I suppose I should get down to business," she said reaching into a little pocket in her dress. She pulled out two pieces of paper with writing on them. "These are your invitations."

Anna took them right away and put them in a safe spot so they wouldn't lose them.

Footsteps alerted them and Will slowly came into the room.

"Good morning," they all said.

"Not so loud," Will said wincing.

Bill stood up and let Will have his seat. The boy put his head in his hands as Emma poured him a cup of tea.

"How're you feeling," Elizabeth asked taking his hand.

Will slowly brought his head up and looked at her. "Did I fall over a chair a little while ago?"

"Yes."

"Good then it wasn't a dream. What'd I miss?"

"I was just giving them their invitations."

"Please come. Don't skip out on us."

"Weren't even considering it son," Bill said smacking his back.

Will turned green and ran out back. The retching noises were enough to get Elizabeth started so she followed behind.

"Ah, young love," Jack said.

Everyone around him smacked him on the head. Emma began to think then. She looked at Bill and he seemed worried too. The two of them nodded to each other and went out to their children.

Will was sitting on the barrel and Elizabeth was sitting on his lap. "Feeling better," he asked pushing the hair out of her face.

"Yes, it just seems to come and go for now."

Will lifted her hand and kissed her fingers. "You didn't tell them yet then?" he asked.

"No, I thought it would be best if we told them together," she said putting a hand to her stomach.

"Now is better than later I suppose."

Emma and Bill ran into the building just as there was a knock on the door. Will entered the room quickly and it was one of Elizabeth's maids.

"Estrella, what're you doing here?" Elizabeth asked.

"I'm terribly sorry miss but your father sent me. He wants you back at the house to have a final fitting before the party."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Elizabeth looked sadly at Will and he nodded.

"I'll see you later tonight," he whispered.

They shared a kiss and she was gone.

The rain seemed to start suddenly that afternoon. Elizabeth sighed as she watched it come down. Everything was just about ready. She just needed to get dressed. She went over to her bed and picked up the dress she was to wear that evening. With her back to the window, she didn't see the shadow come out of nowhere. The dress was really beautiful. It was blue and reminded her of the clear waters of the Caribbean. Before Elizabeth knew it however, someone had a knife to her throat and held onto her tightly.

"Don't move and come with me quietly."

Cliffhanger. Guess who it is and I'll send you a virtual cookie. Hope you all have a lovely day. Review please.
