Sorry about not updating sooner, school has been hectic. Originally I was just going to finish this and post the last bunch of chapters but I haven't been able to get at it this much, so I'll post what I have now and hopefully next week I'll get the rest done.

The next morning Will sat and waited with Amy and Roger for Ruby to arrive for breakfast. A maid had been sent down to inform them that Ruby was going to be late but Amy insisted they wait.

Finally Ruby walked into the dinning room drawing the attention of all three of its occupants. Immediately Will understood why Jack would sail across the Atlantic for her, her movements were graceful and smooth as she crossed the room wearing a mauve colored dress borrowed from Amy take hugged every curve she had, the scoop neck highlighting the definitions of her shoulders and neck. Her hair had been pulled up at the crown leaving a waterfall of brown curls showering down her back. Ruby nodded her good mornings to Roger and Amy before taking a seat across from Will. Her sun kissed skin glowed under the mauve fabric giving her a fresh warm look, for a moment Will was convinced that if it weren't for Elizabeth he would be right along with James in pretending he was married to Ruby.

"I must thank you again for your hospitality," said Ruby, a genuine smile spreading on her lips, "Roger I cannot begin to describe what a dear friend you have been."

"There is no need for thank yous, we are more than welcomed to have you stay with us," said Amy, Roger's wife. Will stared at her a mixture of awe and anger at what she was doing. He wondered how Ruby could look both Roger and Amy in the eye and lie to them to keep up their charade. Will hated deceiving them but Ruby had a point, they needed a place to stay in Spain and it was their best option.

"Have you ever been to Spain?" asked Amy.

"No, cannot say I have," said Ruby as she brought the bone china cup of coffee up to her lips.

"Will?" Will looked up at the woman caught off guard slightly, he stole a quick look at Ruby before turning back to Amy.

"No, I spent my childhood in the Caribbean before I went to London," said Will. Ruby looked on at him with a gaze of approval. Breakfast went on with more questions, Will answering each of them in suit with Ruby. Afterwards Ruby and Will went to backyard gardens.

"Do we have any idea when Jack will be arriving?" asked Ruby as she stood her arm from Will's once they were safely out of eyesight.

"No, I do not even know how he will know where we are," said Will.

"Well something like a ship sailing into port with black sails can't be kept quiet easily," said Ruby, "You will just have to act interested in the docks, Roger's a navy man he will be more than happy to take you."

"Well that's fine until Jack does show up, Roger will alert the authorities," said Will.

"Bugger that, by now James is probably awake and has ever ship he can looking for us," scoffed Ruby, "A few more will not hurt. Besides the faster we can get to Jack, the faster we can leave." Will shrugged, she was right, the authorities chasing Jack never bothered him.

"This could collapse around us," said Will as they continued to walk. Ruby laughed, to her Will worried way too much.

"Well I have already had two false marriages collapse on me and I have various warrants for my arrest," said Ruby, "If this collapses I can guarantee you Will, it will not be the end of the world."

"See Will stick with me, of course people will be mad with you once and a while but you get what you need."

"I think I will leave that to you and Jack," said Will.

"Will you have already taken the step, hell you have your first fake marriage," smiled Ruby


"How the bloody hell do you expect to find them here?" cursed Anamarie as she and Elizabeth stood next to Jack as the port of Ferrol came into view, "You have no bloody meet point."

"It can't be that hard to find them," said Elizabeth.

"Just check the local chapel," snorted Jack. Elizabeth looked over her should at him but chose to ignore him.

"The town is not that big and someone must have seen them," said Elizabeth.

"Has anyone of ya considered that findin' the whelp and the girl may not be easy in a city where they speak Spanish and you speak English?" asked Jack raising an eyebrow.

"The girl?" asked Elizabeth casually looking back over at him.

"Christ Jack, what the bloody hell did you want the girl to do?" asked Anamarie harshly, "Hand every single one of us off to Norrington? Good God, the girl hands herself over to him for ya and you act like a bloody twit about it. If that girl had any bloody brains to her she'd do anything she could to beat you to a bloody pulp." Jack went to respond to Anamarie's tongue lashing but was met with a dark stare from Elizabeth. Grumbling Jack threw his hands up at the women and walked away knowing that any arguments he got into with the women he would never win.
