Sorry it has taken so long to write this chapter. I started working at a movie theater and they were letting me do POTC promotions. I was working my ass off, but I got to see it the Wednesday before it came out. It was really good. I loved it.

Chapter 22

As much as everyone wanted to get married the next day there was no way they were going to, there were too many things that needed to be planned. The woman tried as hard as they could, especially Anne, but things just could not get finished that quickly. They were told that it would probably take two weeks for everything they wanted. Both women agreed that they would have to wait. Anne was angry about it but confident that everything would go smoothly.

"Do you think we should have the ceremony at the same time or one right after the other?" Katherine asked her sister.

"At the same time, that way none of the guests get bored." Anne answered. "Can you believe we are getting married in three days?"

"I am so excited to finally be marring James. It feels weird thou….I feel like I am missing something, like I am missing a part of my life. I think that marrying James will fill that void."

"You love him of course too."

Kat just nodded silently.

"Love? I need yer help." Jack walked in, his own usual way. "We need to pick out rings."

"Well, actually Jack it has been a tradition in our family for the siblings to pick out the ring."

"I think in this case me and Jack should I mean – " Anne was cut off.

"This case? This is no special case. I am your sister, you pick out my ring and I pick put yours." Katherine said. "Come on Jack I know exactly the one she wants."

Kat got up and walked out the door with Jack. If they would have looked back, they worried have noticed the panic look on Anne's face. They didn't thou and they walked on to the jeweler.as they walked down the hill, they passed a large tree, with purple flowers scattered around it.

"those are the flowers we should have at our wedding, I mean the wedding." Kat said, they stopped at the tree and she knelt down to smell the flowers. "They seem kinda familiar."

"Aye they do." Jack said as he picked one and twirled it in his fingers.

"I feel like they are important to me you know? This tree too." She ran her hand up the tree and her hand stopped at a carving. JS + KP. "what is this?"

"Some lovers must have carved their names into it."

"that's funny. It's the same initials as ours." Kat laughed lightly to herself.

Jack reached down and put his hand under Kat's chin. "at one time we were in love weren't we?"

"I thought so, but everyday it seems less and less. I remember that one time you proposed to me. It was here wasn't it? At this very tree." Kat stood up and looked into his eyes. Then she looked away. "but I guess we weren't ment to be. I love James now and you love Anne."

They continued down to the jewelery shop and didn't say another word. Soon they arrived.

"Hello. How are you two today? I am Noah Zacara." He shook their hands. "Are you two here to pick out new rings? Maybe for an anniversary?"

"New rings?" Katherine asked. "I am here to pick out a ring for my sister and her fiancé."

"Oh are you two helping her plan her wedding? That is so nice of you two. I mean you two have already been thou your wedding and planning is so difficult."

"Oh we are not married! I am getting married to James Hunders and he is marrying my sister Anne." Katherine said quickly.

"Well you two have matching wedding bands on. I just thought…."

They both looked at their hands and then at one another's. The butler peeked out from behind the doorway in the back.

"I think it worked." Madam Sura said from the back.

"Well my dear wife, it was your idea."
