Chapter 5: Married at Last

Elizabeth sighed as she sat in her room with a beautiful but elegant wedding gown. She placed a hand on her stomach and knew that this baby was going to be the best thing that would ever happen to her and Will. Anamaria came into the room to see Elizabeth daydreaming again. "Elizabeth, you have to get ready," she said.

"I know, but I'm just nervous, Ana, I don't know what to do anymore. For the fact that I'm going to marry Will in just a couple of hours," she said.

Anamaria smiled at her friend and sat next to her. "You sound like me when I was marrying Jack; I was scared out of my mind and didn't know what to do when the time came. Until I looked into his eyes, he made me feel like no one ever has before. We have a wonderful marriage and we're happy as can be. When I look at you and Will when you're together, you two are the happiest couple I have ever seen in my life. He loves you so much and he'll die to keep you safe," she said. Elizabeth nodded and smiled at her friend. "You're always a great help, Anamaria," she said. Anamaria placed a hand on her shoulder. "What are friends for? Don't worry, Elizabeth, everything is going to be just fine," she said.

"Do you really think so?" Elizabeth asked.

"Of course," Anamaria replied with a smile.

Elizabeth sighed as Anamaria began to do her hair up in a braid and tied it into a bun with some of the braid over her shoulder. "Not only are you going to be a wife soon, but a mother too. Are you looking forward to that?" Anamaria asked.

"Of course I am, I'm carrying the child that I had created with Will. I love Will and I want to have this baby with him," she said.

Anamaria nodded and then pinned the veil into her hair. "Now, stand up and let me look at you," she said. Elizabeth stood up and Anamaria walked around her with a smile on her face. "Other than that little bump on her belly, everything's great," she said.

"The baby doesn't show that bad, does it?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, The dress hides the baby, besides, its going to be you, Will, Jack, Mr. Gibbs, Bootstrap Bill, and me," Anamaria said.

Elizabeth nodded again and placed her hand on her stomach again. "So, what happened to that fancy engagement ring Commodore Norrington gave you?" Anamaria asked. Elizabeth looked at her hand and smiled at the memory of what she did with the ring. "I threw it in the ocean the night Will and I got onto the ship," she replied.

"Ah, so you're really booting this man out the door, aye?" Anamaria asked.

"Of course," Elizabeth replied.

Anamaria smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You're beautiful, Elizabeth, Will is going to be so happy to be with you," she said. Elizabeth smiled at the thought of being Will's wife after all this time. They have been through so much that brought them closer together. They have known each other since they were twelve and eight years have passed since then. She has been with Will for so long that she prayed to God every night that she would be with Will and she finally got her wish. She was marrying Will Turner, the man she loved. Not only that, there was a baby on the way as well, and that made it even better. "So, what did you and Will decide to name him or her?" Anamaria asked. Elizabeth smiled and remembered the night she and Will picked out baby names. "We were planning to name William Jonathon Turner III if it is a boy or Mackenzie Taylor Turner if it is a girl," Elizabeth replied.

"I love those names, well; we'll be here when you have the kid. We wouldn't want to miss it," Anamaria said.

"Thanks for staying; I think Will go into a full-blown panic when I go into labor," Elizabeth said.

"You have nothing to worry about that, Jack and Bootstrap will take care of Will while we take care of the baby. Of course while we're here with you two, Mr. Gibbs will be watching the ship for Jack. We'll also keep a lookout for Commodore Norrington and his men. We won't let him get you," Anamaria said. (AN: You didn't forget about Commodore Norrington did you? Good because he'll be in here soon, again.) Elizabeth sat down when she remembered that Commodore Norrington was planning to kill Will. "I won't let him kill Will, I'll kill him first before he kills Will," she said.

"Don't worry about it, Commodore Norrington won't kill Will, we're protecting you two," Anamaria said.

Elizabeth sighed as she finished getting ready to go. Then when the time came, Bootstrap Bill knocked on the door with a smile. "It's time to go," he said. Anamaria handed Elizabeth her bouquet before they left.

Will stood in the other room getting ready. He was going to marry Elizabeth and then he was going to be a father. Jack walked over with Will's vest with a smile. "I walked to Elizabeth earlier today," Jack said.

"What did you say to her now?" Will asked as he put the vest on.

"Nothing, I just old her that she makes you happy and that you can't wait for this baby to be born. I also said that you loved her more than your life and would love her like that forever," Jack replied.

Will looked at Jack with a quizzical look. "Is Captain Jack Sparrow being nice to his best friend's fiancè for once?" Will asked. Jack looked at Will. "I don't know what yer talking about. I'm always nice to Elizabeth he said. Will fell into his chair laughing at Jack. "Elizabeth told me about the island and what she did with the rum. She told me that you were about to shoot her because of it. Come on Jack, that's not being nice," Will said between laughs.

"Hey, I wouldn't have threatened her behind her back if she didn't destroy all of me rum," Jack said.

"Stop being such a baby, Jack, we're already going to have one in the house we don't need two," Will said.

Jack rolled his eyes and pulled Will out of his chair. "Stop laughing and finish getting ready," Jack said.

"I know, I know, it's just that I can just picture it all now. All that was over a few bottles of rum," Will said.

"A FEW BOTTLES! SHE DESTROYED THE WHOLE CASE BURIED UNDERGROUND!" Jack exclaimed.

"Settle down, Jack, that was over a few months ago. Besides, I should tell Anamaria to get you to cut back on the rum," Will said.

"You wouldn't dare tell me wife to do so," he said.

Will looked at his friend with a smile on his face. "I would dare if you promise not to threaten Elizabeth with a pistol, chains, or anything at all that could be used as a weapon," Will said.

"Awe, you just cut the fun out of teasing her," Jack said.

"She doesn't need to be teased right now, one of these days; you'll get her to go into labor a little too early. I don't need that," Will said.

Jack sighed n defeat. "All right, I'll stop teasing Elizabeth," he said. Will rolled his eyes and began to finish getting ready for the ceremony. "Are you nervous?" Bootstrap asked.

"I am a little, father," Will replied.

Bootstrap placed a hand on his shoulder. "I was the same way when I married yer mum, but once she walked down the aisle and stood in front of me, she was an angel. Now my son is getting married to a very beautiful woman," Bootstrap said.

"Thanks, at least you approve, Elizabeth's father surely doesn't, he's the other reason we came out here," he said.

"Of course I approve, I'm not like Elizabeth's father who would want me son to marry a woman his class, I want him to marry whomever he wants to marry. As long as the woman loves him in return," Bootstrap said.

Will nodded and sighed. "Elizabeth does love me in return that's why I'm marrying her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I love her so much," Will said.

"Of course you do, if you didn't love her, you certainly won't be marrying her," Bootstrap said.

"Listen to yer father, mate, he knows the truth. At least he knows more about this advice stuff more than I do," Jack said.

"Just wait until you start having kids of your own, Jack, it won't be as easy as it sounds," Will said.

"You should have seen me taking care of Will when he was an infant. The late night crying was a mess; I never got any sleep. Trying to feed this kid was like putting the bomb in the catapult, at least his mum did all the dirty work," Bootstrap said.

Will started laughing at the thought and then he thought of having the same fun with his child once he or she was born. "What names did you and Elizabeth pick out?" Jack asked. Will put his cloak on when he remembered the night he and Elizabeth picked out the names for their baby. "We want to name it William Jonathon Turner III if it is a boy and Mackenzie Taylor Turner if it is a girl," Will replied.

"I like those names, especially since you're naming your child after us if it is a boy," Bootstrap said.

Will looked at himself in the mirror. "Come on, father, it's not that big of a deal," Will said.

"I know it's not, but just think that you're going to be a father soon. A father to a little boy or girl," Bootstrap said.

Will then thought about it for a moment. Then it was time for them to leave after a couple of minutes.

When the time came, Elizabeth walked over to Will with a smile on her face. Will smiled back and held onto her hands once she reached him. As the ceremony went on, Will was looking deeply into his beloved's eyes. "Do you, William Jonathon Turner II, take thee Elizabeth Eleanor Swann to be your wife? Will you love, honor, and cherish her? To have and to hold from this day forward, from richer or for poor? In sickness and in health, and until death do you part?" The minister asked. Will looked at Elizabeth and knew that this was what he wanted. He wanted to be with Elizabeth and spend the rest of his life with her. "I do," he said. Elizabeth tried to hold back her tears, but the happiness of the thought of being with Will forever was wonderful. "And do you, Elizabeth Eleanor Swann, take thee William Jonathon Turner II to be your husband? Will you love, honor, and obey him? From richer or for poor, in sickness and in health, and until death do you part?" The minister asked. Elizabeth felt Will's hands tighten on hers with a smile on his face. "I do," she said. The minister then placed a simple golden wedding ring into Will's hand. Will lifted Elizabeth's left hand up and slipped the ring over her finger. "With this ring, I take thee Elizabeth Eleanor Swann as my wife," he said. Elizabeth took the other ring and slipped it over Will's left ring finger. "With this ring, I take thee William Jonathon Turner II as my husband," she said. The minister said a prayed and then he placed a hand over theirs with a smile on his face. "Before me today, I have never seen such a fine and happy couple. By the powers invested in me from the Lord, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," the minister said. Will lifted the veil from Elizabeth's face and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss. Elizabeth kissed his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. When they pulled out of the kiss, they smiled at each other and that was when tears of happiness fell from her eyes. Will wiped the tears away and smiled at her. "We are finally together," he whispered. Elizabeth nodded and a sob escaped her lips. She threw her arms around his neck in a hug. Will hugged her back with a smile. He too had tears of happiness in his eyes, but he wasn't going to reveal it. When they pulled out of the hug, Will pulled her into another passionate kiss. Their friends just smiled at the couple, knowing that they were both very happy. When they pulled away, Elizabeth placed her head on Will's shoulder. "I love you William Turner," she whispered.

"I love you too, Elizabeth Turner," he whispered.

Then this time, he pulled her into a very gentle kiss.

AN: I'm done, YAHOO! Oh I'm so happy and it was bringing tears to my eyes as I wrote the wedding scene. It was beautiful right? Well, tell me what you think. Read and review. Bye.
