Warning to all die hard JE fans like myself this chapter is WE...I know I know it's horrible but it's necessary for the plot.

The rest of the story will gradually fade into JE

Chapter 2 - Her Wedding Night

When Elizabeth reached the bottom of the stairs Jack took her hand in his. She looked around the room and saw her father and Commodore Norrington standing off to the side. They were the ones who had got Jack ready for the day. She made a mental note to thank them later.

Her somewhat husband to be walked her down the rest of the aisle to the priest that would be performing the marriage.

Elizabeth looked up at the priest and smiled at his calm demeanor. He nodded at her and looked to Jack before starting the ceremony.


A cloaked figure snuck around the outside of the house of Governor Swann and his daughter Elizabeth. Looking in the windows he saw all the people gathered around, no mouths were moving except the one of the unrecognizable man in the front, holding Elizabeth's hand.

Where was Jack?

Will Turner's eyes darted around the room. Elizabeth told him Jack had agreed to pose as her husband. He had no idea who this man was. When the two faced each other Will almost laughed out loud. It was Jack. A very different looking Jack, but Jack none the less. Relaxing, he watched the rest of the ceremony in slight disgust.


Jack slid the ring on her finger and she smiled at him. It wasn't a true smile but the pirate smiled back, knowing what was coming.

"I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Romane, you may kiss the bride."

Elizabeth's eyes itched and her ears needed to pop but she couldn't screetch and bat him away. Slowly his lips came down on hers but he didn't let his tongue roam, he didn't open his mouth at all. It was a simple, nice kiss.

He pulled away and she realized people were clapping for them. She turned a light shade of red and bowed her head. Jack smiled and they started the after party.

"My Elizabeth, you look pretty as a picture."

"Thank you father." Elizabeth said and hugged him.

Governor Swann pulled away after a moment and looked to Jack who was talking with Captain Highland. "I hope he is a good husband for you my darling. This wasn't supposed to happen."

Elizabeth looked down. Ever since Will had left saying there was something that he needed to do she had felt that something was wrong. A few weeks after there had been a letter sent to her explaining in rather vauge detail what had happened to Will and what she was to do. The letter wasn't in Will's handwriting.

"I know, but there's nothing that can be done about it now." She said and caught Jack's eye.

"If anyone finds out that he's not who he says he is." Governor Swann trailed off and Elizabeth simply nodded.

Jack had been talking with this captain for some time now and was getting rather bored of his babbling.

"The Governor said I will be next in line when Commodore Norrington becomes Admiral."

"Is that so?" Jack asked, not very interested.

"Yes. He says he has never seen a man such as myself captain a ship with such ease."

Jack started to grind his teeth.

"I can captain any ship through any storm."

Jack caught Elizabeth's eye at this point and looked back to the captain. "Is that so? I've done my share of sailing, nothing too challenging. I have however seen a ship many believe to be a myth."

The captain looked intrigued at this point. "Interesting. What ship might that be?"

"Darling?"

Elizabeth had approached them, interrupting the conversation that was sure to get Jack's blood pumping. The pirate looked at her. "Yes my love?"

She needed to come up with an excuse quickly. "I'm feeling rather faint.Perhaps we should retire."

Jack was liking this idea of 'retiring' until he remembered he was going to be granted full husband rights. He frowned slightly at this and felt her forehead. Her skin didn't feel clammy to the touch, or hot at that. Elizabeth met his gaze and he saw the plead.

He nodded and turned to the captain. "I am terribly sorry but my wife needs her rest. Perhaps we can continue this conversation some other time."

Captain Highland nodded and Jack lead Elizabeth to the stairs where they stopped by the priest.

"Mr. Romane, Mrs. Romane. I must have you sign the book, as record of your marriage."

Jack took Elizabeth's hand and nodded to the priest. "Very well, but we can only stay a short time, my wife is feeling ill."

The priest smiled and the couple followed the priest into a seperate room where he had a large book sitting out for them. Elizabeth signed her name first. When Jack started to write the name Adrian the priest stopped him. Jack looked up.

"Your real name. Mr. Sparrow."


Will had lost sight of Jack and Elizabeth when they followed the priest inside one of the spare sitting rooms. He had to plan everything perfectly. His captor, a young worman with silver hair had let him go. But in seven hours he would be hers again. Will just wanted to let Elizabeth know he would always love her.

Climbing the side of the house Will made it up to Elizabeth's old room and climbed in the open window. Getting in the closet he waited.


Elizabeth and Jack both stopped. "I beg your pardon?" Jack said and he could feel Elizabeth figeting beside him.

"You're real name. Jack Sparrow."

Jack stood and looked to Elizabeth. "It wouldn't matter. We didn't say my real name in the vows and you need witnesses."

Elizabeth really did feel faint and sat down in the chair. Jack gave her a sideways glance.

"I can get witnesses." Moving from behind the desk the priest opened the door to the adjoining room and two men came in. "This is Mr. Hubbington and Mr. Smith. They will be the witness."

Jack looked to the door behind him and the window. He couldn't really marry Elizabeth, that wasn't the plan. Elizabeth saw his distress and touched his arm.

"Don't worry Jack. Nothing has to change."

He looked at her, his eyes narrowed. She turned her gaze to the priest. "Why are you doing this?"

He sighed and lowered his head. "If I don't it's my life and the lives of my sisters."

"Who is doing this? Why are they doing this?" Elizabeth asked, now holding Jack's arm tightly. One of the men, Mr. Smith, stood and pointed a gun at her.

"No more questions." He said and pointed the gun at the priest. "Marry them."


After what seemed like hours of waiting, Will finally heard Elizabeth's voice. Soon she came in, followed closely by Jack.

"What are we going to do Jack?" She asked, going all teary eyed. "How did this happen? Why is this happening?"

Jack looked out the window and leaned on the door frame. "I don't know love. It doesn't matter. We're married, that saves your William doesn't it? Nobody else is going to know that I'm who I am. This is a bunch of rubbish if you ask me."

Elizabeth wiped her eyes and went to the dresser to get out a night gown.

Jack noticed and returned his gaze to the sea. "How long do you want me to stay?"

She stopped and sat the gown on the bed. "As long as it takes to get Will back. That was part of the plan wasn't it?"

"So we are to go out to sea immediately?" He asked.

"No! We need a plan first." She sighed and yawned.

Jack noticed and went over to her. "Do you need any help getting this off?" He asked and couldn't help the suggestive tone his voice seemed to naturally add.

She glared at him.

"I didn't mean it like that love."

"Of cource you did. Just loosen the ties. I can do the rest myself."

He complied with her instructions and turnt back to the door. "Where should I sleep?" He asked and she went behind her changing wall.

"I suppose in here with me. Can't have the maids gossiping already. I swear if you try anything though I will kick you out of bed and you will have a black eye to go with it."

Will finally made himself known. "He won't."

Jack turned around so quickly he almost lost his footing. "Will?"

Elizabeth came out from behind the wall with only her slip and ran into his arms. "Will! Oh, I was so worried, what happened? Are you okay? Are you here for good?"

"No darling and I have to go back. I just wanted you to know that I love you."

Her eyes teared up and she kissed him. Jack went to the window and saw the Pearl heading out into the horizon, he sighed. Turning to the two behind him he lowered his eyes. He felt real sadness at the loss of his freedom.

"I'll leave you two to yourselves." Looking pointedly at Elizabeth he grinned. "Don't wait up for me."

She smiled her understanding and thanks and Jack was gone.


Hours later Jack swaggered out of a barmaids cottage and walked in the direction of the Swann mansion. He saw Will climb down the wall and run out to the sea where he disappeared. Jack thought this odd but shrugged it off.

Walking to the front of the house he knocked, then realizing he really didn't need to, just walked in. Elizabeth was waiting downstairs.

"Darlin', I tol' ya not to wait, up." He said drunkenly and Elizabeth crossed her arms.

"I wasn't, I just haven't gone to sleep yet. Let me help you upstairs." She said and grabbed Jack's arm. He smelt like rum and sex. She was sure he could smell the sex on her too. Her and Will had never been intimate before and he was gentle, truely showing her how much he loved her. It was the first time she had ever made love and she was sure it would be the last time for a long while.

When Jack and Elizabeth finally made it to the bedroom where the bed covers had been wrinkled and small spots of Elizabeth's blood still layed he collapsed on the floor.

"I assume you and Will did more then kiss goodbye. That's being unfaithful darling." He said and fell into a deep sleep
