Made very minor adjustments to the last chapter because of spell check, so you know. It's not important for you to read, but it made me feel better that I did proof read it again. Thanks for the reviews! Please enjoy this chapter.


"But I thought we agreed that you were going to break it off with Sparrow," said Weatherby. "Why did you change your mind, Katie?" he asked.

"I couldn't," whispered Katherine.

"Why? Did he pressure?" he asked, getting angry.

"Father, please," said Katherine rolling her eyes. "I just want to be left alone."

"No, I did that when I let you leave to the convent, but not this time..."

"I want to marry him!" she said.

Weatherby shook his head. "But there's no reason to..."

"You don't understand, Father," she interrupted again. "I-I love him."

Weatherby's eyes widened. "You love him?" he whispered. "With Sparrow? But just yesterday you were in love with Commodore Norrington."

Katherine smiled and walked up to her father. "No, Father, not anymore. I love Jack now."

Weatherby sighed. "Are you sure, Katie?" he asked cupping her face.

"Yes," she said, nodding. "I love that man."


A few days later

Elizabeth peaked around Katherine's room. She and her father went out for the day to pick out last minute arrangements for the wedding that was only a few days away. She scowled seeing that she was already packing her stuff out of her room.

Elizabeth paced around and opened one of Katherine's cabinet. Something caught her eye and she noticed a small book underneath her clothes. She pulled it out and noticed it was Katherine's diary. Elizabeth looked around again to make no one was around and opened it. She flipped through some of the pages and stopped when she noticed she wrote something about James. It was written about a year ago.

"James Norrington is and always will be the love of my life. From the very moment that God gave me life until I die."

Elizabeth laughed to herself. "How pathetic," she giggled. She noticed a small, round box next to the table. Her heart pumped telling her what she should do and will do. She placed it in the hat box, putting some clothes on top of the diary.

"Let's see her get out of this one."


Katherine gasped in surprise as Jack held a ring between his fingers.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

Katherine smiled. "It's very pretty."

Jack smiled back. "It's your engagement ring," he said, grabbing her hand. He gently placed it on her finger. Katherine watched in fascination as the ring sparkled in the light.

"Thank you," she said, looking at her.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked.

Katherine blushed, but said nothing. She closed her eyes and leaned towards him. Jack smirked and pressed her lips against hers. She moved her lips across his, trying not to mess up. Jack noticed her caution and he quickly grabbed her by the waist and deepened the kiss. Katherine was shocked by his boldness, but she kissed him back. She felt her heart beat faster against her chest. She suddenly wished Abigail hadn't tightened her corset too much. She gently pushed Jack back, trying to regain her breath. He too was breathing hard.

"I can't stop thinking about you Katie," he whispered as he laid his forehead against hers.

Katherine smiled, twirling around one of his hair's trinkets between her finger. "Neither can I."

"In just a couple of days we'll be married," he said. Katherine nodded. "Are you nervous?"

"Yes," she said, honestly. "But it's for a good reason."

Jack chuckled. "I best hope so."


Katherine laid on her bed as Abigail silently cleaned her room. She had been wondering for a long time what happened between a man and a woman when they married. She knew they would consummate the marriage, but she didn't know how. She was embarrassed to go to her father and she knew her sister would only fill more lies into her head. She turned her head and saw Abigail begin sweeping the room. "Abby?"

"Yes, Katie?" she said. Her bun was messy from her hard work.

"Abby, do you know what happens between a man and a women when their married?" she asked.

Abigail smiled. "Why? Are you nervous about that?" Katherine blushed and nodded. "Oh, don't worry, Katie. I heard Jack is a wonderful lover. Never leaves not one woman unsatisfied, but he always leaves them the next day or at least that's what I heard."

Katherine frowned. "He's a ladies man?"

Abigail froze. "Oh, Katie, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sure he won't cheat on you. He may be a pirate, but he looks like an alright man. You should have seen his face when he thought you were breaking off the wedding. I think he was more upset than angry about that."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"He loves you, Katie. If not love, then he likes you a lot."

Katherine smiled. "You think so."

"Of course. You think he only cares about what the people of Port Royal thinks about him being left at the alter? He's a pirate. He lives more at sea than land and he doesn't need to come here. He was upset that you would leave him, Katie."

"Abby, but what if I can't... satisfy him. I hear stories that men would look for mistresses to seek their own pleasures. Just the thought of that scares me," she said, sounding frightened. She feared that Jack would run back to Elizabeth. That would break her heart.

Abigail smiled. "Relax, Katie. Don't worry. I have a book that teaches the sexual nature between men and women."

Katherine gasped. "You have a book like that?" she asked, shocked.

"Please, Katie. It's learning and you need some learning to do."


Jack knocked on the governor's mansion and waited patiently for the door to open. He was caught off guard, seeing Katherine behind the door.

"Hello," he greeted.

"Good afternoon," she said, not looking at him.

He stepped inside, closing the door behind him. "Where's Abby? I usually find her behind the door. I was surprise to find you, but I'm not complaining," he said, taking her hand, but Katherine pulled away.

"I should go get my father," she said, starting to walk up the stairs, but Jack pulled her back.

"Wait, I don't understand you. Sometimes you're nice even sweet, but put then you act like a scared cat," he said, moving closer to her, but Katherine moved back.

"It's just that my father doesn't want us to be alone," she said, going up the stairs.

"Fine," said Jack at the bottom of the stairs. Katherine looked back at him. "But that justify your attitude or has your sister been spitting more venom? Katie," he said, calmly. "When are you going to trust me more?"

Katherine's eyes softened. "It's just that I barely know you."

"Because we never talk. Your father or someone is in the room." Jack sighed. "These customs of yours are strange, but it's fine. This how you grew up and your ideas are different. I just hope it not too late for other things."

"I know that I'm ignorant in somethings, but if you can have more patience for me," she said.

Jack crossed his arms. "Well, that isn't one of me strong characteristics, I promise to give you all the time in the world."

"A-And I promise to be a good wife and... fulfill my duties," she whispered.

"I don't want you to fulfill your duties, but for you to want it," he said, stepping closer to the rail. Katherine's eyes widened, but quickly went up the steps. Jack sighed. He was going to have a hard time trying to figure her out.


Katherine looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a white wedding dress. It had small pearls added on to it with lots of lace. The tailor shop had to make it as quickly as possible due to the fact that she and Jack were getting married so fast.

Abigail smiled at her through the mirror as she place the veil on her head. "Katie, you look beautiful," she whispered in her ear. "Oh, goodness I think I'm going to cry."

Katherine laughed. "Oh, Abigail, so do you," she said. She was wearing a pink gown, like all the brides maid, but she was Katherine's maid of honor. She had never worn such a beautiful dress and Katherine even let her borrow some of her jewelry. "Jack said he was going to invite his crew. Maybe we'll see a special someone there."

Abigail blushed and quickly moved as Weatherby came in the room. "Katie! You look stunning." He walked up to her and smiled. She looks just like her mother, he thought. "Here," he said, opening a small box.

Katherine gasped. "Father, it's beautiful," she said, looking at the diamond necklace inside.

"It is, isn't? It's my wedding gift for me to you," he said, putting it around her neck.

Katherine smiled, giving her father a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, Father."

Weatherby smiled. "Come on or you'll be late for your wedding," he said, walking out along with Abigail.

Katherine looked at herself in the mirror, making sure she looked perfect this day. She ignored Elizabeth's figure behind her.

"Happy?" she asked.

Katherine smiled. "Yes."

"Too bad, it's not going to last. I forgot to tell you that Jack can be a cruel man, especially in bed," said Elizabeth.

Katherine stood up and turned around. "You know I'm glad I didn't go to speak about that, but my nerves of the wedding night are over because when I see Jack, when I have him close to me, you have no idea of the feeling that I get," she said, closing her eyes, smiling. "And I'm sure that whatever comes from him will be marvelous."

"You're just dreaming that," scowled Elizabeth.

"Because if it weren't so, you wouldn't be so eager to have him again." Katherine smiled. "Excuse me," she said as she proceed to walk out the door.
