By The Risin' Of The Moon{Jack Sparrow2} {The Biggest Con}

To Recapitulate:
"Come, I will have that dress sent out. I'm sure we can have it fixed in no time. Grace, take Miss Bennett up to Elizabeth's old room and find her something to wear." You watched as a young woman entered the room and helped you up. You nodded to the Governor again and walked limping with Grace up the stairs. You were in, everything was going just like you planned it to. The fools, they were all the same. For once you wanted a challenge, something more exciting that would get your blood racing. These people were just to gullible.

Proceeding:
{One Year Later}
"Now I want the aisle right here with the arch right there. I want to be facing the ocean when I say 'I do'" You directed the men around as they all made notes. It had been one year to the day since you arrived at Port Royal, and you were now about to pull off the biggest con you had ever pulled off, your marriage. It was not what you had in mind when you first came to Royal, but after all those years of going from port to port conning each one you began to grow tired. At least now you would be looked after, and the Governor was no spry young thing. You knew you would not be stuck in the marrage for the rest of your life, you would in time become a very wealthy widow. All you had to do was becarefull not to get pregnant, and when you were free you could use the money for your father's purpose.
"And I want the flowers to be at every end of the seats." You felt an arm go around your waist and someone kiss you lightly on the neck. You turned around in their arms and smiled at them.
"Weatherby!" You kissed him sweetly and wrapped your arms around him. When you pulled back you started playing with the ring around your finger. She smiled and took your hands kissing both of them.
"And how is my little Lottie? Getting ready for the wedding day I see." You giggled like a little girl and twirled around in front of him.
"Oh yes dear, I want everything to be perfect. Oh I can't wait my love to be called your wife!" You thought you would gag a little at how prissy you were acting. It was not that you loved Weatherby, nor did you hate him. He was a sweet and kind sort, and very lonely before you came along. You were only able to go through the with the wedding because you had convinced yourself that it was best for both of you. You would be looked after and he, he would have someone to care for him and keep him company as he aged. Weatherby caught you up in his arms again and kissed you on the cheek. You hated doing what you were doing to him, but maybe good would come of it.
"Well my dear, I have to attend to some things before the wedding. So I will see you at dinner. I love you." He kissed you sweetly on the lips and smiled at you as he swept some loose hair from your face.
"I love you too." He turned and walked back into the manor. You hung your head as you tried to retain your composure. You had over the past year been living at the Governor's manor, which was to say in the least scandalous. But Weatherby would not hear anything from the people of Port Royal, they had drove off his daughter and son-in-law and they were not about to deny him a new wife. He had insisted that you would stay nowhere else. You had agreed as at the manor you never had to leave, thus there would be no one to reconize who you really were.
You lifted your head and went back to planning your big day, only two more weeks now.
.................
{Weatherby's POV}
Weatherby Swann sat down at his desk writting up paper after paper. He wanted to make sure that everything was in order for his soon to be wife, Charlotte Bennett. He thought over the day he first met her, she had been so beautiful even laying there in the mud. He had been wary about starting anything at first with her, she was so much younger then him. It was not that a union between two of differing ages the same as their's was wholey unheard of. In fact it was quite normal for the time. And he at his age with no son for an heir it would have been almost expected for him to marry someone young who could give him a son before he died. But still he had been wary, he didnt want to cage her. He was not young like her and he feard she feel like she was chained to some old man. And he feared would not be able to please her like a young woman needed, she might go out on him.
But she had assured him that she did really love him, and wanted to live out her life with him. But he still had his doubts. He picked up a small letter on his desk and after opening it allowed a teary eyed smile to gace his face.
...........
{At Dinner, Your POV}
You picked at your food a little as Weatherby just grinned at you. You looked up at him with a funny look on your face.
"What? Why are you smiling at me like that?" He set his fork down and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"My Dear I just got this today. It seems that my daughter Elizabeth is going to be coming with her husband. She was able to convince that Captain of her's to let them visit. She said she is going to be staying for at least a month, hidden away here in the manor of course as not to cause problems. Though her captain will be staying too, she says he won't let them alone as a way to protect them. But is it not wonderful?!" He was smiling ear to ear, you had never seen him so happy in your life. But you were worried now, the arrival of the daughter could cause some problems.
"Oh yes, very. When are they to arrive dear?" He folded the paper and put it back in his pocket.
"Well I would say sometime tomarrow, with the time that she sent this at the last port they were at and the time it got here. I have already made arrangements for two rooms to be made ready. Elizabeth and Will will stay in her old room, and that captain of their's will stay in the room next to them. But Lottie, please when they come be careful around him. I don't wholely trust him." You shook your head and continued to finsih your dinner. You knew that Weatherby didn't really hate that pirate captain of their's, he had talked about him before. He knew as well as you that if it wasn't for him that Elizabeth and Will would both be dead. And after hearing the real story behind what happened two years ago you knew that who ever that man was he was not your typical pirate.
You stood up after no longer being able to eat.
"I'm sorry my love, but I am so tired from getting everything ready today. If you will excuse me, goodnight dear." You walked over to him and gave him a sweet kiss on the head before heading to your room.
You lived on the other side of the manor, as it was at least a bit more proper. You walked in and waited as your maid prepared everything for you. After you were washed up and tucked into bed you just laid there. You were worried about Elizabeth coming, but also excited. Deep down you had always wanted to meet that pirate captain who have saved her. You stood from bed and went to your trinket box on your vanity. You opened it up and pulled out a small braid of leather. It was old and tattered and fraying at the ends. You held it up to your nose and took in the heady scent. Even after all those years it still smelt like the sea. You walked to the window and opened it up taking in the salty air. This was one past along with many you could never tell Weatherby. You had once sailed on a pirate ship and under the command of none other then Captain Jack Sparrow. You leaned on the window and just listening to the sounds of the rushing water, it reminded you so much of the beating drums of the Motherland. So many pasts, but each you were forced to hide. Was this really the life your father wanted for you when you left Ireland?

{Jack's POV}
"LIZZIE! No way! No way in hell are ye gettin' me to wear this!" Jack threw the trim coat across the cabin as Elizabeth walked in and picked it up.
"Yes you are, now stop it and put it on. You were the one who won't let us stay in Port Royal without you being there as well. Now you can't very well stay dressed like that!" She shoved the coat in his hands and stared him down.
"Fine, but come on Lizzie coundn' ye get me some'hin' like a commoner's clothin'" Elizabeth shook her head and took the hat that was sitting on the bed and waited till Jack finished.
"No Jack, a commoner staying at the Governor's manor. That is just not going to happen. You want to come you have to dress the part. Now there, perfect." She set the hat on his head and smiled. He could not help but frown. He knew she was right. Why did he have to say that they couldn't go without him? That's right Will was a bloody eunuch and he feared that both Will and Elizabeth might get killed. He sighed having been defeated.
"We're comin' up on the Port Capt'n." Gibbs burst in and Jack could tell he was holding back a laugh. Jack rolled his eyes and went on deck. The moon was shining bright, he had timed it just right. In by the light of the moon and out the same way. No one would be able to notice them with the cover of nightfall.
"Ok, Lizzie, Will ye ready? Time to go."
