Lies of her Father

1 year after the encounter with Barbarossa:

Chapter One- Marriage Bliss

An aggravated Elizabeth sat across from Will while trying to bandage her wounded hand in a flustered manner as she asked Will questions upon questions. "What sort of a man trades a man's life for a sip?"

Will (while taking Elizabeth's hand), "A pirate. Here, let me." As Will began to wrap Elizabeth's hand Elizabeth continued.

"Thank you."

"You said you gave Barbarossa my name as yours, why?" Will questioned.

"I don't know," answered Elizabeth as she winced and pulled her hands away from Will.

In an apologetic tone Will continued, "I'm sorry, blacksmith's hands- I know, they're rough."

"No, I mean yes, they are. But don't stop."

"Elizabeth… Elizabeth… Elizabeth!"

As she jolted awake from her slumber Elizabeth looked around. She was in her room, in her bed, with her Will, who was trying to wake her up.

"I'm sorry I startled you," began Will, "But it's late in the morning, and I thought you would like to be awakened."

"Thank you darling," Elizabeth said as she sat up in bed and leaned over to kiss her husband good morning while absentmindedly running her hand along her very large stomach.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Inquired Will.

"Great, I'm happily married, with child, and you know what's best of all?"

"What?"

"I love you!" Sitting up even taller Elizabeth tackled Will to the bed before planting soft kisses all over his face.

"I love you too, Elizabeth." Will responded, with his own kisses.

Meanwhile---

"We're pulling ashore ma'am." One of the crewmen said to the lady who was standing at the bow of the ship, staring intently at Port Royal. "Ma'am, did you hear me, I said we're pulling ashore, you have to go get your belongings from below deck and prepare to descend off the ship."

Turning around the lady said, "I heard you, and thank you."

"No problem, Ms. Swann," answered the crewman.

Turning around, Meredith Swann headed below deck to her cabin. Her thoughts, however, were focused around her daughter. Her son of a bitch husband took her baby girl from her nine years ago and fled from England. The only thing Meredith knew was that Weatherby Swann, her husband, took off for the Caribbean with their daughter. He took their daughter from her and told little Elizabeth that her mother had died. For nine years Meredith Swann had searched the Caribbean, and recent information acquired from a pirate captain she met along the way led her straight to Port Royal, and hopefully, straight to her daughter.

She remembered meeting the pirate captain like it was yesterday.

Flashback:

Walking along the streets of Tortuga, Meredith Swann for the first time in her life realized how filthy pirates really were, the other night she even saw a man sleeping with a bunch of pigs! But, she was a woman on a mission, and that mission was to find her daughter, and nothing could keep a mother from her daughter, nothing.

"'Ello love." Came a drunken voice from behind her.

Turning around quickly Meredith stopped in her tracks, in front of her stood a pirate, with his hand extended towards her as if he wanted to shake her hand. 'A friendly one?' Meredith questioned herself. Nevertheless, Meredith shook this pirate's hand.

"The names Jack, Captain Jack Sparrow. What be your name lass?"

"My name is Meredith, Meredith Swann. By any chance have you…"

Jack cut her off, "Did you just say Swann?"

Meredith looked startled, "Why yes, have you by any…"

Once again, Jack cut her off. "You wouldn't happen ter have any relation to an Elizabeth Swann would ye?"

"Yes! Yes, she's my daughter! Have you any idea where she is?" Cried a frantic Meredith.

"That's interesting, very interesting."

"Why, why is that interesting Mister Sparrow? Do you have any idea of where my daughter might be?"

"It's captain, captain Jack Sparrow. And yes, I know where ye daughter might be, in fact, I know ye daughter."

"You know Elizabeth?" Screamed Meredith, "How do you know her? Is she well? Where is she?"

"Aye, one question at a time lass. How do I know her ye ask? Well, that be a long

story, lucky for you I have all the time in the world."

End of Flashback:

Meredith emerged back on deck just as the disguised Black Pearl docked. Captain Sparrow walked over to her.

"Ready to find ye daughter lass?"

"I've been ready for this for nine years, Captain."

Chapter 2- Not Funny

Elizabeth, after planting the last seed, stood up and walked into her cozy little home. Their house was a wedding gift from Elizabeth's father, and although they didn't accept charities, they did allow Governor Swann to promote Will from a blacksmith's apprentice to a blacksmith, and they also allowed Governor Swann to buy Will his very own Smithy.

Placing her hand on her stomach Elizabeth began to speak to the unborn child inside of her, "Hmm, what will daddy want for dinner baby? How about we have a light meal tonight, how about some broth? Sounds good, doesn't baby?"

Reaching up, Elizabeth brought a large container of broth down from the cabinet and then proceeded to pour the broth into a pot to cook it. However, before she could put the pot over the fire, there was knock at the door. So instead of placing the broth in the fire, Elizabeth put the pot aside and went to answer the door.

Opening the door, Elizabeth could have jumped for joy, "Jack!" She launched herself upon the pirate captain, "How have you been, what brings you here, to Port Royal?"

"'Ello love, good to see ye again too. Oh, looks like Will 'aint a eunuch after all, you're 'uge love!"

Slapping Jack playfully Elizabeth answered him, "Jack! Of course he's not a eunuch, he's my William. So, once again, what brings you here, to Port Royal, where, may I remind you, you're a wanted man!"

"Aye, I know I'm a wanted man here Miss Swann, but…"

"It's Mrs. Turner now Jack!"

"Aye, sorry love, old habits die hard. Well, Mrs. Turner, I know I'm a wanted man, but I came bringing good news, for you, Will, and the little one."

"What is it then Jack? Come on, you know I can get impatient!"

"Well alright then lass. I've found ye mother."

Elizabeth's face hardened, "That's not funny Jack, don't joke like that, my mother is dead, and you know it."

"Your mother is very much alive Elizabeth."

"That's not possible Jack, my mother died in a castle raid. That's why my father and I had to leave England."

"And who told ye that Liz?"

"My father."

"And let me ask you one more question Liz, do you remember such a raid?"

"No, but I, Jack, what are you telling me?"

"Your father kidnapped you from your mother Elizabeth, he kidnapped you from her nine years ago and he told you that she died in a castle raid while you were in school. You must have been in such a shock you believed him, because she told me things about you that she must have known you to know these things."

"Who Jack? Who knows me?"

"Your mother love. She said ye had a fiery attitude as a young girl. And ye always had a peculiar interest in pirates. Sound familiar lass. She used to read to you every night before she tucked you in. She wouldn't let your father employ a maid for you, she insisted on nurturing you on her own. She even brought you a locket, a locket that I recall seeing you wear. A gold locket with the letter E engraved into it with diamonds."

"How, how do you know this Jack? I never told you any of this."

"Because she's your mother lass, and she's been searching all over the Caribbean for you for nine years."

"Do you, do you know where she is Jack?" Asked a crying Elizabeth.

A woman appeared from behind Jack.

"I'm right here Elizabeth."

Chapter 3- Reunion

"M…mom?"

"Yes Elizabeth, it's me."

Meredith opened her arms to her daughter, who willingly ran into them and started sobbing.

"Mommy? But you're, you're dead, daddy said you were dead."

Meredith held onto her sobbing daughter, never wanting to let go again. She had missed to much because of Weatherby Swann, and she wasn't going to let that happen again.

"No, no, no. It's me sweetheart, your father lied to you. Oh, I missed you, so much."

"I missed you too mother."

Meredith looked down at Elizabeth as Elizabeth looked up at her mother, and they locked eyes. 'Those eyes,' Elizabeth thought, it really is her.

A couple of hours later:

Will closed the door to the smithy and locked it before heading down the street to his home, the one he shared with his wife, Elizabeth, the woman he loved.

Whistling, Will opened his front door, and stepped inside his home, he was about to call out to his wife when he saw Captain Jack Sparrow , standing, in his Foyer.

"Jack?"

"Aye savvy."

"How've you been Jack?"

"Good, and yourself? I see you got the lass knocked up."

Blushing Will nodded.

"I'm proud of ye boy, you're not a eunuch."

"Where's Elizabeth, Jack?"

"She's catching up with her mother."

"Excuse me?"

So Jack explained what had gone on since he came across Meredith Swann in Tortuga.

"Where are they?" Asked Will?

"In the living room." Answered Jack.

Nodding, Will slowly made his way into the living room, and saw his wife in the arms of a strange lady, crying, laughing, smiling, and frowning.

Elizabeth looked up as soon as she felt another presence in the room. It was Will, Will was home.

"Will, come here."

Walking over to the mother and daughter Will took his wife's outstretched hand.

"Will, there is someone I would like you to meet. Will, this is my mother, Meredith Swann. Mom, this is my husband, William Turner."

"Pleasure to meet you Ms. Swann."

"It's nice to meet you too Mr. Turner, but if you don't mind, you could call me Meredith."

"Only if you'll call me Will."

"Alright Will, it's a pleasure to meet my son-in-law."

Elizabeth stood up, careful to not disturb her mother, who had not let go of her since they were reunited.

"Mother, Will and I are going to go see father now. Jack will stay with you."

Meredith looked a little reluctant to let her daughter go and see Weatherby, but she knew she had no control over it, and she also knew she wouldn't loose her daughter, not this time.

"I'll see you when you're done sweetheart."

She gave Elizabeth a peck on the forehead before Elizabeth and Will left to go see the governor.

After a few bocks of walking in silence, Elizabeth began talking, "Oh Will, how could he lie to me like that. He told me she was murdered in a castle raid while I was in school and that we had to leave England because it wasn't safe!"

Pulling his wife into his arms Will tried to sooth her, but he found it difficult to understand himself.

"Shh… I'm sure he had his reasons, they probably aren't good reasons, but at least go and listen to what he has to say.
