Cleo stood at the refreshment table drinking a tiny glass of rum. The server was very surprised that a lady wanted rum. She wanted to spit and punch him, but decided against it. When he had given it to her she almost fell down laughing, at the tiny glass. That's what she deserved for all the nights in Tourtuga, and that Abigail! A lady to the very last drop! Bill seemed to be in actual love with her. She looked at her glass, where was Gabe when you needed him?
"Excuse me miss." A boy about eighteen just glanced at her,
"What?" She asked annoyed,
"You're blocking the refreshments." He looked at her, noting the line behind him, his strait brown hair was pulled back in the navy fashion and his clothes were that of a navy man.
"So what are you proposing I do?" She smiled knowingly,
"If you wouldn't mind, please move." He looked around him, slowly she stepped sideways to allow the people, behind her to get their drinks, and she received dirty glances from each of the people. Cleo just sighed and took another sip of her rum, which was again almost gone. She noticed that the boy was still standing besides her,
"Are you new to Port Royal?" He asked,
"I'm Elizabeth Turner's dear cousin." She nodded, "I'm visiting her form England."
"Really?" He looked at her,
"I'm her distant cousin." Cleo smiled, deciding that she should just stick with Will as her cousin. "Twice removed, that sort of thing."
"I see," He nodded, "What's you're name?"
"I should be asking you the same thing." Her face turned to interest.
"I'm Edward Norrington." He smiled,
"Ah you're the reason they made me come here." She said playfully, "Well, I'm Clarissa Turner."
"Turner?" He questioned,
"Did I say Elizabeth's my cousin, I meant dear William." She caught herself, and she looked at her empty glass "Rum's gotten to my head."
"Bill, are you sure that's your father's cousin?" Abigail asked looking over at Cleo.
"Yes," He nodded, hating to lie to her like that,
"She's a bit..." She searched for the perfect word
"Strange?" He offered, as they both watched her get another glass of rum, standing by Edward, and he couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy of Abigail's father wanting Edward more as a son in law than him.
"Bill!" Abigail giggled, "That's not very nice,"
"I'm not a very nice person." He smiled, and he pulled her in close, "Let's go out to the beach."
"Where do you think Bill had gone off to?" Naomi asked Natalie as they crouched down and hid from Nathan, the seeker,
"Probably off with Abigail." Natalie whispered,
"To the beach." The both nodded,
"Don't you think that we should be going home now?" Naomi asked,
"No one told us we had to leave," She shrugged, "Besides we can't go home by ourselves,"
"Do you think that mother's had the baby yet?" She sighed,
"Probably." Natalie nodded,
"I want to go home and see it!" Naomi said with excitement,
"Be quiet otherwise we'll be found!" She scolded, they felt a present among them and they both looked up, and saw Nathan,
"Gotcha!"
"Elizabeth, she's beautiful." Will whispered as he kissed, his wife's head. Elizabeth held the newborn baby girl in her arms, and he sat on the edge of the bed with her.
"I know." She smiled, and looked at her,
"What are we going to name her?" He asked,
"I don't know." Elizabeth laughed softly,
"How about Cleo?" He smiled,
"That's taken." She giggled,
"Elizabeth?" Will offered,
"Taken, also." She looked at him slyly,
"Then what do you suggest since you discarded all of mine." He said jokingly,
"I've always been particle to Clarissa."
"REALLY BAD EGGS!" Cleo finished up her song while Edward helped her through the streets,
"Ms. Turner please keep you're voice down, people are trying to sleep." He hushed her,
"'ey shouldn't be sleepin'!" She laughed, "'ey should've been at that cronation!"
"You mean the coronation?" He nodded,
"Yes, 'at!" her voice was slurred, she had a bit too much to drink at the coronation, and Edward volunteered to take her back to the Turner's. "Mr. Norrin'ton?"
"Yes?" He seemed uncertain,
"'ave you ever, been in love?" She asked,
"No," He shook his head, "Don't believe in it."
"Two peas in a pod, love." She pointed between them, "Though I got meself a nice pick of a boy, name's Gabe, quite a catch, but only good for one thin', and 'at's...."
"Here we are." Edward stopped her before anything else could come out of her mouth. He knocked on the door, and it opened a few minutes later, Will appeared at the door.
"Will!" Cleo threw her arms around him and quickly released, "Always good to see me cousin, how's dear Elizabeth, did she 'ave the babe yet?"
"Actually she did." Will nodded, and looked at her strangely and saw Edward standing there awkwardly,
"Congratulations, Mr. Turner." He nodded,
"I should be saying the same to you." He nodded back, "Thank you for bringing..."
"Clarissa home, it was my pleasure." Edward smiled, "I hope you don't mind if I come by tomorrow and see if she's doing well. I think she stole a couple bottles of rum from behind the refreshments." He left, and Will was left a little dumbfounded, but he managed to close the door. Cleo patted him on the shoulder,
"Good job mate." She said as if proud of him,
"For what?" He asked,
"Me da told me you were a eunuch," She shrugged, "Proved 'im wrong," She started for the stairs clumsily,
"Cleo!" Will called after her, "Edward called you Clarissa."
"That's me new name, mate!" She smiled, "Like the name, cause I'm you're cousin too."
"Excuse me miss." A boy about eighteen just glanced at her,
"What?" She asked annoyed,
"You're blocking the refreshments." He looked at her, noting the line behind him, his strait brown hair was pulled back in the navy fashion and his clothes were that of a navy man.
