2 hours, 30 minutes and 45 seconds had it been since Will Turner had panicked. After looking at Elizabeth all the possible places, and after that the impossible, he had almost lost hope. He imagined horror scenarios where she had fallen from a cliff, like the other time when she had been forced to wear a corset, what in god name had he been thinking buying her on? In the first year of marriage Will had focused all his time and care to Elizabeth. But then he had started being politic. Asking her kindly to attend to balls and all kinds of commotions. Then he had bought her a stupid corset and the red dress. Elizabeth loved freedom. He had failed to realise that. He was at their home, in the living room. Imagining Elizabeth by the fireplace, playing with one of her rich locks of hair.

"Mr Turner! Mr Turner!" The maid rushed into the room holding a piece of paper clutched in her hands, so hard that her knobs turned white. "This was in the open bedroom window, Mr Turner." Dora handed him the message that was hardly readable.

"Dear William. You know how marriage get boring after two years? I think your dearest beloved needs a little fresh wind under her sails. Therefore I have kidnapped her. Dearest Jack Sparrow, captain of the black pearl,"

Will's eyes went wide, he read the note over again and still it didn't make completely sense. "Mr. Turner?" Dora asked with worry in her voice. He looked at her with frightened eyes, "Jack has taken Elizabeth. Jack has taken my wife!"

"I thought you didn't take hostages!" Ana Maria's sharp voice could be heard on the entire ship. "This time you've really done it, Jack! Didn't her dad send the entire navy out looking for her last time she was kidnapped?" "Hostages are only hostages when they themselves do not want to be imprisoned, and therefore, my fair lady, is this lass not a hostage but a simple quest on the ship. Don't you agree, Elizabeth?" Jack turned his gaze to look at Elizabeth's person, she was drinking hot rum from a mug. "I don't really agree captain Sparrow, you didn't really seem to leave me a choice with that sword against my throat," she took a zip of her drink. Jack send her another look, "but you were terribly thrilled to get away from that ball, and I presume that you therefore went to stand at a place where you most likely would be kidnapped."

"I think you've got that terribly wrong Mr. Sparrow, I was merely out to get some air," Elizabeth lifted her eyebrows at him, and smiled wickedly. "Oh, but you.." Jack's come-back was interrupted by Ana Maria's cry of mercy, "Okay, she's staying, she's staying!" The first mate went as fast out of Jack's cabin as she could. That left the pirate and the governors daughter to themselves. "Jack, I've just got one question," Elizabeth looked into Jack's dark eyes in a serious matter, "Why didn't you show up for my wedding?" "Might've made you done something you would regret," a playful smile played on his lips. "I'm regretting now, Jack. I've been since I found out how much I actually cared about you not being there.." She said and held his eyes with hers. "I protest," he whispered, then he leaned in and kissed her on her welcoming lips.

"I'm going after her!" Will said, "can't trust a pirate to bring her back!" He had convinced the governor to make his person the captain on the ship that was to rescue Elizabeth. "But.. But.. Mr. Turner!" The maid Dora whimpered, her dirty-blonde hair was hidden beneath a red piece of cloth that she had tied in the back. "Please take care of the house, Dora. I count on you to do that," Will said as he got himself ready to leave. "Yes, of course Mr. Turner. I hope you bring Mrs. Turner back." Will send her a comforting smile, then he walked out the door. Just as he reached the last step on the stairs, he heard Dora's voice call out to him. "I'll always be here Mr. Turner! Please know that!" He waved at her chubby figure on top of the stairs, wondering what had gotten into his maid.

AN: Yes, I know it was a boring chapter, damn you! And Elizabeth would be thinking about Will.. But they have after all been married for 2 years.

xsuper.newtx Thank you : 3 Hope you enjoyed update . christinarr Thanks for such a review, got me thinking : 3 To the grammar/spelling mistakes, I blame it all on the fact that english is not my first language xD, but I know there are no such excuse, and from now on I'll make sure to read the chapter through a couple of times before I post them. The thought of children did as a matter of fact hit me a couple of times. I considered adding it in a future chapter, but I forgot .. So, my lousy excuse is that Will can't make babies : ) Hope you enjoyed the chapter. All-alone-beside-myself Thanks a lot, it makes me happy to know it wasn't too oneshotish.
