"Come on Elizabeth; suck in just a little bit more. Ugh. That's it almost, almost there got it." The brown haired, bronzed skin girl shook her hand that had begun to loose feeling from pulling on the laces to the corset.

"You don't know how much it means to me that you are going with me to my final fitting Jess."

"Of course I love helping you and it's not just because I'm your maid of honor. Elizabeth your love with Will is hope for all of us who well seem hopeless."

"Stop it Jess you know that you WILL find that right man, it's just not the right time."

"Elizabeth, I near twenty now, you know I'm well past my prime most of our friends were married at fifteen."

"And may I remind you most of our friends are now parents many times over and quite miserable as well. Did you forget that little detail?"

"No, I know you are right but well, I guess I'm just jealous. I'd die to have what you and Will have and to have a future husband that's so handsome."

Elizabeth closed her eyes and smiled she could picture Will – he's smile, his handsome body with all his strong muscles and his eyes. His eyes would just show how much love his had in his heart for her. His eyes were her window into his heart.

"Jess, I know that I am so lucky to have such a good man. I couldn't be happier."

The two young women hurried along to make their appointment. Elizabeth didn't want to be late for final fitting for her wedding dress. She was hoping that it wouldn't take too long because she wanted to stop by and see her betrothed.

Will wiped the sweat from his brow. Something was bothering him today but he couldn't put his finger on it. He felt that something ominous was hanging over him - something was going to happen it was a matter of when.

He picked up his the latest work as special sword for a very special lady. He was putting the finishing touches on his one of a kind wedding present. As he polished it's carefully handcrafted blade, he heard the door to the smithy opening. He quickly placed it back in it's hiding place and turned around to find two smiling women.

"You two look like you're up to no good."

"Are you referring to me, my love, your future wife in such a manner?" Elizabeth teased.

"Oh, I must have been mistaken. How could two such lovely young ladies ever be up to no good."

"Will Turner, I swear if Elizabeth weren't marrying you, I'd take you in a heartbeat."

"And I you my dear Jess." He said giving them both a wink.

Elizabeth went over, wiped a smudge from his face and kissed him on the cheek. Jess felt a little awkward like she should leave the two of them alone and started to turn to leave.

"Oh no you don't Jess. You're not leaving we're not done yet." Elizabeth said.

"Now what were you two up to any way?"

"Final dress fitting. Has the tailor finished your wedding suit yet?"

"Yes, darling everything is ready even your wedding gift."

"Oh Will, can I have it now?"

"Of course not darling, you have to wait but you'll love it!"

"Ugh, I hate waiting. It's hard enough waiting to be your wife. Well if I had my way I'd…"

"Elizabeth, remember I'm still here!" Jess reminded her.

"Yes, and it off to shop."

"Wait that's why you wouldn't let me leave? You want to go shopping! Elizabeth you know how much I hate shopping."

"Yes, but I need to finish buying things for the wedding and remember you are my maid of honor."

"Uh, right but I think you are just doing this because you know how much I loathe shopping."

"Not at all dear Jess. Oh and we need to go by the baker's and he has a very cute, eligible son."

Jess just shook her head and through up her arms in defeat.

"You can't escape her meddling, you should know that by now. When Elizabeth sets her mind to something, well just give in." Will smiled as Elizabeth walked over to him.

"And don't you forget it either, Mr. Turner." Elizabeth said as she placed a quick kiss on his lips.

"I'll try not to the future Mrs. Turner." Will pulled her back to him, dipped her down & placed a long lingering kiss. Elizabeth was almost breathless when Will placed her upright again.

"Leaving. Now." Jess said.

"Yes. Yes, of course." Elizabeth said as Jess took her by the hand leading her out the door.

Will watched as Elizabeth was led out of the smithy. She blew him a kiss just as the door closed. He was a lucky man he thought to himself. Her visit had definitely improved his spirits.
