Wedding Day
The Courtyard
Maybe it was the baby. It probably wasn't. Lila was only two months. She stood on the baclony of the castle breathing heavily. She felt sick, wasn't the baby, and she couldn't breath, wasn't the corset. The blame would be set on His Royal Highness Captain William Turner. It was all his fault. He was the reason that she had felt sick. The diamonds on her crown reflected blue from the sparkles on her sea colored gown. It was appropriate for the queens to wear sea blue on the wedding day. Though she knew that Jack wasn't going to let her live down the fact that she wasn't wearing white.
"Lilabelle?" She turned around to see her father staring at her. He smiled as he emerged from the doors leading to her room. She ran up and hugged him, tears glistening on her pretty face. She pulled back as he wiped them. He smiled and said, "It's time, darling." Her hand instantly went up to her neck. The Jewel. She smiled, because even Samantha said that her Jewel was shining a bit more brightly than it should have been. She linked her arm with her father, and exited the room.
The courtyard looked gorgeous. A beautiful sea of white orchids and blue. She waited for her father to begin walking. The music began playing, and she stepped out with him. She didn't make out a lot of faces as she walked, but she did see Roxy and Jilly in the sea of people. Half of which she had no idea who they were. Gwen and the other girls were with them as well. Her eyes instantly locked on Jack's for a moment. He winked at her and smiled. She glanced down at Saphie who was beaming at her as her own arm was around Jack. Grant was there as well, smiling proudly as if it was his own daughter getting married. She smiled up at him as well, before looking down at the man that she was walking to meet.
Will.
He couldn't help but smile as she walked towards him. She did look beautiful. But he couldn't help but feel nervous. Had he felt nervous with Elizabeth? Well, their wedding happened so fast, that he really didn't have time to be nervous. He loved Elizabeth, very very much. Their destinies were locked for a reason. But looking at Lila...well, in truth, she had been his first love. And even when he was with Elizabeth, though he did truly love her, he always thought about the girl that he was marrying right now. After Neptune gave Lila to Will, she walked over to him and took both of his hands.
"Is there anyone here present that wishes these two to not be wed? Speak now, or forever hold your peace." Lila's eyes automatically shot out in the audience to Jack. Will let out a laugh when he saw the wounded look on Jack's face when he saw Lila's glare. Jack smirked at her, and put his hand down as Saphie smakced his arm. Lila rolled her eyes and turned back to the man that she had recognized as the same one that had been at her queen ceremony.
Same powdered wig too.
"Do you Lila Mercedes Sparrow-Parrish, take William Jonathan Turner to be your husband?" Lila looked over at Will for a moment, before smiling and managing to say softly, "I do." Will's smile seemed to make Lila's heart stop as he mouthed, 'I love you'. Lila smiled at him, mouthing the same back as the preacher said, "And do you, William Jonathan Turner, take Lila Mercedes Sparrow-Parrish, to be your wife."
"Of course I do." Will said, smiling over at her. He hadn't taken his gaze off of her since this wedding had started. Lila felt another tear spring into her eyes as she waited for the preacher to finish that last sentence. Rehearsals seemed to go by so much faster than this was. Lila closed her eyes, and when she opened them, he finally said, "And I now prononce you husband and wife. William, you may kiss your bride." Will waisted no time in pulling Lila to him. She smiled against his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Their kiss seemed to last forever as the audience applauded. When Will broke away from her, she whispered, "I love you."
He kissed her forhead as he whispered, "I love you too, Mrs. Turner."
"It is my great honor to introduce you to, Their Royal Highnesses, Mr. and Mrs. William Turner." Will took Lila's arm, and led her down the stairs. Jack gave Will a slight nod when their gazes locked as if to say 'She's all yours, mate'. Will smiled over at his friend, and led Lila into the castle for the ball thrown in their honor. Then, the honeymoon...
"Will!" Lila shrieked as he pushed her against the wall. He chuckled in her ear as he kissed her neck. She smacked his arm playfully, and pushed herself away from him as she walked over to the mirror to remove her earrings. Will looked mock hurt by this, but laid down on the bed and watched her with some amusement as she struggled to take them out.
"What?" She asked him, when she looked in the mirror and stared at Will's reflection. He was just smiling at her, as he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, as if they had been bothering him. She rolled her jade eyes, and turned back to the mirror. He smirked at her, and said, "You know, darling. In seven months, we'll be parents. We'll never have any of this alone time again."
"Again?" Lila snorted as she removed her diamond necklace. "Hardly, love. There's always servants around the castle. And your father, you know he's already asked to take her at least a few days each month." She smiled to herself at that one, and turned around to meet Will's gaze. He was leaning on his elbows, staring at her with amusement playing out across his handsome face. "What?"
"I said nothing." Will said, quite pleased with himself. He loved annoying her. He always had, even when they were little. He was so different when he was with Lila. He didn't try and be strong at times he couldn't be, he wasn't always in his serious Captain Turner mode. He was Will. The Will she had fallen in love with all those years ago when they were just children. She smiled over at him as she came to sit on the edge of his bed, still feeling his gaze on her. She eyed one of his boots that was lying carelessly on the floor, and put it on with a smirk.
"What on earth, Li?" Will said with a laugh as he moved off of the bed so that he could come and stand in front of her. She was still smirking down at the boot, until Will kneeled down so that he was on his knees in front of her. "You surely inherited that bloody Sparrow stuborness, I'll give you that." He said, teasingly as he leaned up and kissed her. She smiled when she felt his hands trying to tug his boot off of her leg. She gently kicked him and said, "Persuade me."
Normal Will would have turned blood red, and given her a million reasons why he shouldn't 'persuade her' into giving him his boot back (with the exception of that one night in Tortuga). But he wasn't normal Will anymore. At least not to her. He smirked as he kissed her knee, and trailed his lips down to where the top of the boot met her leg. She smiled as he did this, and when she still didn't react in any sort of way, he glanced up at her and said, "You really are impossible, aren't you?"
"As I said. Persuade me..." She smiled at his expression, then added, "Yes I am impossible. So sorry, querido." He smiled when she called him that. For the longest time, she would never tell him what that meant. Her being part Spanish, thanks to the Sparrow side of her, and him being strictly from London, he never understood half of the things she said. But he had finally managed to get out of her what querido meant. Dearest one.
"So, I'm your dearest one, am I, Mrs. Turner?" Will said, every once and a while kissing the bottom of her leg as he tried to get his boot off of her. She smiled as she said, "What? Where you expecting it to be Jack? Or possibly Barbossa?" Will raised his eyes almost reluctantly off of her leg and said, "Don't ever say such things, Li." She smiled as he leaned up and kissed her. A few minutes later, she found herself laying back on the bed with Will on top of her. She groaned slightly, causing him to pull back. "Darling, what?"
"That bloody boot's still on me." She couldn't help but laugh when she saw Will's face. He groaned himself, more so out of annoyance than anything else, as he rolled off of her and got off the bed to pull off his boot. He turned back up to her and just stared at her for a moment, before saying, "Is that better, Your Majesty?" She only nodded with a smile, as he laid back beside her, and captured her lips with his. She smiled when she felt his hand go around her waist, almost pulling her on top of him.
"Darling, what now?" Will said, pulling back after a minute. He was annoyed. And she was loving every minute of it. She smiled and said, "The buttons on your shirt are bothering me."
He just blinked at her as if he had suggested that he go waltz with a great white. "Oh, I'm sorry. The bloody buttons." He pulled his shirt off and then said, "Happy now?" She nodded, and he leaned back down and kissed her again. His hand was back on her waist a minute later as it struggled with the laces. Once he finally got them undone, Lila pulled back again.
"Li!" Will said, as he pulled back from her. He looked up, half expecting her to be smiling, but she wasn't. Panic flooded Will's face as realization hit him, "Oh bloody hell, Lila? Is it the baby?" Lila couldn't help but smile at that one. Even though this was his second child, he hadn't been with Elizabeth at all during her pregnancy. Jack had been. And Will was worried all the time. Everytime Lila moved, he seemed to jump as if the baby was going to suddenly explode or something. "Did I-"
"Darling, what? Do you think you sqaushed her or something?" Will narrowed his hazel eyes at that one, but watched her as she got off of the bed and walked over to the door. "Li, what are you doing?" Will asked her as he sat up on the bed, watching her with a mixture of horror and amusement. "Li-"
"Shh..." His eyes got wide when he saw her pull out her sword.
"LILA MERCEDES! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Will asked her, running over to her and grabbing the sword from her. Lila screamed when Will tugged at it so hard, that it flew out of his hands and hit the wall with a loud bang. "Will, what did you think I was going to do? I heard something is all..." Will suddenly relaxed a little, but tensed up again when he realized what Lila had said.
"Stay here."
"Like I really will, Willaim." Lila said, smirking as she put her hands on her hips. obviously not caring that her dress was hanging off of her. Will rolled his eyes, apparently not caring he was shirtless, and said, "Well, fine. Do what you must, but stay behind me." And he called her stubborn. She rolled her own eyes and nodded as he opened the door. They now had a whole entire wing of the castle to themselves, and needless to say, everyone had pretty much vanished from that wing when Lila and Will got back from the ball. Will looked around for a minute, before turning around and saying, "I don't see any-...Lila? Li?" He turned around again and screamed when Lila was on the other side of him, "Don't say your heart almost stopped, because it can't." Lila said with a smirk as she looked down the hall, "I know I heard something."
"Darling, I'm sure it was nothing." Will said, getting over the fact that he had almost been scared to death, even though he technically couldn't do that. Lila nodded and said, looking back up at him, "You're probably right." She smiled as she leaned up and kissed him, gently pushing him back into the room. Will shut the door, and started kissing her even more not noticing the breeze in the room. Will finally managed to undo her dress, and began slipping it down her shoulders when all the candles blew out.
"Oh my goodness..." Will groaned when they went into complete and utter darkness. "This is just peachy. Li, where are you? LILA?"
"AHHHH!!!!" She screamed when she felt someone behind her. She knew it wasn't Will, because the shouts of "LILA" and the loud bang that accompanied the scream let her know that it wasn't Will. A chuckle came from the person, which made Lila relax, but only for a moment, before they said, "You seem rather shocked to see me. Or rather not see me, since we are in complete darkness."
