(A/N) Hello everyone! I'd just like to say that since I really want the third installment of this series up by Christmas, there will be an update every day of at least one or two chapters, I don't want anyone to go insane (Wink Wink :) ). I have started a new fic, it will be a Jack Elizabeth fic, so if your a huge Will fan then swallow your pride and READ IT! LOL I bought the Jack Sparrow doll, they have them at Spencer's gifts, they were 39.99 but worth it! I love Johnny Depp! Did I mention that already? Maybe another update later today I'm not sure, but there will be plenty of reviews up till Christmas so be aware...AND REVIEW!
DISCLAIMER: I SO NOT OWN POTC!
When the Sovereignty docked in London the following morning, Elizabeth and Will were finishing getting dressed.
"Will could you button the back of my dress up?" Will then walked behind her and buttoned her dress up and kissed the back of her neck.
"Elizabeth, what if your father is unwilling to help us?"
"I don't think he would do that, but if he does then we are out of choices…I don't know what we'll do. We'll just have to take our chances." Elizabeth said as she put on her earrings.
"Are you ready?" Will asked.
"Yes." Elizabeth and Will then walked up on deck and found Jack and Bill waiting for them, cleaned up and dressed.
"Keep a low profile, remember if we are caught we shall hang." Will called to his crew giving them their final orders. Elizabeth was finishing tying both Jack and Bill's ties.
"There we are…finished, you two look absolutely handsome." Elizabeth said proudly.
"It is a curse, my roguish good looks; gets me in a bit of trouble at times." Jack also said proudly.
"Let's go." Bill said annoyed.
Elizabeth and Will were the first to walk off the ship, they were followed by Jack and Bill, both wearing hats and carrying two suitcases, one in each hand. As they made their way through London's narrow streets, they first stopped at the Postmaster's Office, to find out where Elizabeth's father's address.
"Excuse me sir." Will said.
"Oh yes, sorry, what can I do for you?" said a white haired man who was busy organizing letters.
"My wife and I are looking for the address of a Mister Weatherby Swann. Do you happen to know this address?"
"Oh yes I do…let me see…" he said flipping through papers, "…here it is Wilbur Ave., it is just up the road, large white house, can't miss it."
"Thank you." Will and Elizabeth then walked out of the postmaster's office to an awaiting Bill and Jack.
"So what he say?" Bill asked.
"It's just up the road." Will replied.
"Are you nervous?" Will whispered to Elizabeth as they were making their way to her father's home.
"A little." Will then grabbed her hand and squeezed it. Soon the four of them came upon a large white house, it was bigger than the home that Elizabeth and her father shared in Port Royal.
Elizabeth knocked on the door, then a man with salt and pepper hair opened the door. "May I help you, miss?"
"Yes, may I please speak with Mister Weatherby Swann."
"I'm sorry miss he is not taking any visitors." The man said as he glanced at Will, Jack, and Bill.
"Please tell him it is urgent, it is about his…daughter."
"Alright, I shall ask him." The man sighed, he then shut the door.
"I hope he sees me." Elizabeth said sadly.
"He will." Will kissed her on the forehead. Then the door opened.
"He will see you. Follow me." Then the butler lead Will, Elizabeth, Bill, and Jack through the home. Elizabeth saw the oil portrait of her in the hallway, she smiled, she remembered she was sixteen when that was painted, and how much she had annoyed her father because she fidgeted so much.
"Here we are." The butler then opened the door and let Elizabeth, Will, Jack, and Bill in.
Elizabeth saw her father sitting at his desk, when he looked up he saw his daughter.
"Elizabeth…"he whispered. He then rushed over to her and hugged and kissed her.
"I missed you so much." Elizabeth cried.
"Where have you been? I have sent search parties…they have been searching for you…they couldn't…" He then noticed Elizabeth's stomach. "Elizabeth, your having a baby…" He then had to sit down on a large sofa that was near him, Elizabeth sat next to him.
"Father there is so much to tell…" Weatherby Swann was beside himself, he didn't even notice Will, or that a disguised Jack and Bill were behind him.
"Will my boy, I didn't even notice you. Please sit, your servants as well."
"Sir, there is something…" Will was too late, Jack and Bill had taken their hats off.
"You!" The former governor yelled. "You got my daughter into this mess and who is this beside you."
"Now, I thought we all had understood each other. I am a pirate but a good man…Remember that?" Jack said.
"I do not care! You are the low life scoundrel that took my daughter away for months, it is all you fault!"
"Now wait a minute…" Bill interrupted.
"Who the blazes are you? More pirate scum?"
"Father that is enough!" Elizabeth said as she stood up, it was Elizabeth's turn to yell. "Jack is a good man, and a dear friend of mine, you shall not talk to him like that, he saved my life numerous times, and that man over there is Will's father. We came here for help and…" Elizabeth became dizzy, she had grabbed onto the desk so she could steady herself.
"Elizabeth!" Will rushed to her to help her from falling. "You should lie down…"
"No Will, my father has to know."
"Know what?" Weatherby Swann asked. Will then helped her sit back down next to her father.
"Everything." Elizabeth then told her father about Barbossa, what he did to her on their wedding night, Isla de Muerta, Tortuga, the rape, the child she carried and then lost, and Barbossa's death. Elizabeth then told him more recent events, Naussau, Azores, Commodore Norrington. "That is why we are here…We need your help. Clear your name as well as ours."
"I am so sorry Elizabeth, I had no idea of your turmoil. You are right Commodore Norrington needs to be stopped, he has gotten out of control, and we shall stop him. Now what do you need of me?"
"Paperwork…anything we can use." Will said.
"I'll see what I can do, in the meantime I will have my servants draw rooms for you." He then walked out of his study to inform his employees.
"See that wasn't that bad." Elizabeth said, she then glanced at Jack. "What?" Jack has a look of concern on his face.
"Well, he never explained or denied this scandal. That is a bit odd luv."
"My father is many things Jack, but a criminal in not one of them."
"Are you sure? Do you think that maybe he could have gotten himself into some political scandal…Do you really know your father's business dealings?"
"No, but I know my father."
"That isn't what I asked you."
"What are you trying to imply Jack?"
"That your father isn't who he seems to be."
PREVIEW INTO NEXT CHAPTER: What secret does the former Governor hold? And what is taking Norrington so long? MY MY MY HOW THE PLOT THICKENS!
