DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

Elizabeth was getting dressed when a knock at the door was heard. "Who is it?"

"Your dear husband." Caleb said jokingly. Elizabeth crossed the room and opened the door.

"Well, glad to see your dressed." Caleb said as he walked in.

"I just have one other thing to do." Elizabeth then put her leg on a chair and lifted her skirts.

"What are you doing?" Caleb asked.

"Well, I am not going to be the only one without some type of protection." Elizabeth then took a piece of fabric and tied her pistol to her leg.

"What if that falls out?"

"So be it." Elizabeth said.

"Bill…I mean Charles is downstairs."

"Let's not keep anyone waiting."

They were all waiting for the arrival of Commodore Danielson. "Elizabeth I can't believe how much grown up you look…" James said as he kissed her hand. He still couldn't believe she had returned to Port Royal.

"Thank you James. Your looking quite dapper yourself."

"Married? To a Commodore no less, bit ironic…" James let out a small laugh.

"I know. James, I don't want you to think…"

"No, you don't have to say it." James put up a hand.

"May I present Commodore Bronson Danielson." The butler said at the entrance of the parlor. Elizabeth watched as Caleb and Bill walked over to her, in a protective stance. And there he was. He had shaven his beard, and looked just like the man that had raped her.

"Ah Governor Swann, you have a lovely home!" He said jovially.

"Thank you Commodore. Please…" He then glanced at Elizabeth. "Oh, have you met my daughter? Elizabeth."

Danielson's head snapped around quickly as he turned to see Elizabeth standing there. Danielson also noticed Bill and Caleb.

"No, but what a remarkable beauty she is." He walked over to her. "Pleasure to meet you Elizabeth." The look he was giving her made her want to throw up. He picked up her hand and kissed it.

"Pleasure to meet you sir." Elizabeth curtseyed. "This is my husband Commodore Caleb Forester and his father Charles."

"Pleasure gentlemen." He nodded to both of them. The glare in his eyes almost sent Elizabeth's hands around his neck. Both parties knew the game they were playing, and followed along.

"Caleb…" Elizabeth whispered.

"What?" Caleb whispered back as he grabbed her hand.

"I need to get out of this room…I need some fresh air…"

"Want me to go with you?"

"No."

"Alright, I'll keep my eye on Danielson."

Elizabeth walked into the garden that was in the back of the Governor's mansion. Elizabeth was having serious doubts that she would be able to pull this off. The room had become heavy with hate once Danielson walked in…visions of that night flashed in her mind…

"Elizabeth…" She turned to the sound of her name. She looked into the brush, and saw Will.

"Oh Will…" Elizabeth walked towards him and hugged him.

"What are you doing out here?" He held her tightly against him.

"I'm so scared Will."

"Danielson's in there." Elizabeth just nodded into his shirt.

"Elizabeth, you can do this."

"I can't Will, this is just too much…please…I…" Will then pulled her away and looked into her eyes.

"Elizabeth if you don't do this you will relive those days for the rest of your life. You have to be strong, I know you can be…"

"He's staying at the house." Elizabeth said suddenly. "What if he comes in my room at night? What if he…"

"Do you want me to stay?

"How?"

"I'll find a way. I used to sneak up to your room at night, no reason while I still can't do it." Will flashed her a smile.

"I don't want you to get caught…wait…where's Jack?"

"He is enjoying the rum left behind by Mister Brown."

"I should have known. I have to go back inside, I'll make rounds for another hour then I'm going to excuse myself to bed."

"I'll be waiting."

"Will?" Elizabeth called into her room as she shut the door behind her. She pulled both Caleb and Bill aside and told them that Will was going to stay with her tonight.

"Right here." Will emerged from the shadows. Elizabeth smiled at him and practically ran to him and kissed him.

"He's right downstairs Will. We could end this all tonight."

"Elizabeth, then we would be hunted down for the rest of our lives for the murder of a Commodore. We have to think about this, but I agree it should end quickly."

"Do you remember the last time you snuck into my room?" Elizabeth said, desperately wanting to change the subject.

"Yes, it was also the last time. Your father almost caught me in here." Elizabeth giggled. "He could still catch us in here."

"He might."

"No, not with him thinking you finally did the right thing and married an honorable Commodore. Speaking of the Commodore, how is he?"

"Caleb's grief is eating away at him. I know he feels terrible, and I am not going to blame him for anything, it wasn't him that raped me…he prevented that Jonah character from hurting me…I owe him a lot."

"Caleb's a decent man. Even though I don't particularly like him posing as your husband." Elizabeth sensed the distrust in his voice, despite his words.

"Jealous?" Elizabeth said with a smile. Will missed those smiles.

"Maybe."

"I assure you Mister Turner, that you have nothing to fear." She kissed him. "Absolutely nothing." Elizabeth then began to unbutton Will's shirt.

"Elizabeth…" Will said into her neck as he kissed her. Will took his hands and wrapped them around her…she didn't flinch, she didn't back away. Will then started to untie the laces that held her dress together. The dress fell to the floor and Elizabeth stepped out of it, now just wearing a chemise and her garters. Will picked her up and carried her to the bed and laid her down gently. He laid on the bed next to her and kissed her slowly, pushing her arms over her head he…

"Stop!" Elizabeth sat up.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have…"

"No…" Elizabeth ran her hand through her hair. "Just…go slow…" Will knew that he sparked something within her, and he was careful, gentle with her the entire night, knowing this was something that she wanted yet, she was afraid of.
