Happy Ever After // Kidnapped 3

Epilogue

Dressed in a high-collared black suit with a white shirt underneath. Hair that is a little bit gelled. Other people wouldn't notice Five's change of hairstyle for this day, but I do. I don't think I've ever seen Five with gelled hair, even if it's just a little.

But it's his eyes that are doing it for me. His bright blue eyes are right on me. There's a twinkle in them. A happy one.

I was planning to go for a simple white dress, but I changed my mind.

My dress has a fitting bodice with a corset and features a beautiful, full and wide skirt with different layers. While the bodice shows my upper body very well, the skirt cinches in my waist. It gives me a regal silhouette, making sure my childhood dream of a fairy-tale wedding comes partly true.

A while back, while going through the messages that Klaus sent me (which I did and still do frequently), I saw some screenshots from Pinterest again. Not just adorable kittens that he always used to sent, no, he sent about 5 screenshots of gorgeous wedding dresses. I think that 3 of them were ball gown wedding dresses, like the one I'm wearing right now, and the others were a mix between mermaid wedding dresses and trumpet wedding dresses.

Five's lips part slightly as he takes in my outfit. I can tell he hadn't expected . . . this, but the mischievous smile that comes onto his lips, tell me that the unexpected is more than good. What would be going on inside his head, I wonder as I try to keep my breathing calm.

I continue to walk toward the altar. Toward Five. And as I do so, I just know that no girl on earth can be smiling more than me.

It feels so right. Everything. . . except one thing. Klaus and Dave. They should've been here. And Klaus as best man.

My eyes fall on little John, who isn't that little anymore. That's what he claims at least. "I'm not a baby anymore." he always tells everyone. I still find him little and I probably always will. It is true, he isn't as tiny and chubby as when Dave and Klaus adopted him. He's now five years old.

Five and I waited quite some time to actually get married. Mostly because of me. I just couldn't. It didn't feel right. It still doesn't feel completely right. But I know that Klaus is here. I can feel it.

I stop in my tracks when I'm next to Five. His eyes haven't left me and I'm glad they haven't. I can't get my eyes off him, too.

"You're stunning." He whispers, still with the mischievous smile on his lips.

My cheeks heat up. After all these years, he still makes my belly turn and my cheeks redden.

The minister opens his book, causing both Five and me to turn our faces to him. The man is around forty years old. His very long beard has several white hairs, but most of them are still dark brown.

It feels like eternity. The minister just keeps on talking. I know that I mustn't be the only bride that just wants to crash her lips on her (almost) husband his lips.

"Do you, Five Hargreeves, take y/n l/n to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and health, to love and protect, till death do you part?"

Finally.

That bastard better says yes.

As if he's reading my thoughts, Five chuckles softly.

Then, he recovers himself again, probably not wanting me to stress too much.

"I do."

The minister turns his head to me. It's really happening. The man sends me a kind smile before he starts. "Do you, y/n l/n, take Five Hargreeves to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and health, to love and protect, till death to you apart."

My lips part. I'm going to say it. I'm going to be his wife. It's happening.

Jeez, I should stop acting like a statue and say the freaking words.

"I do." My lips tremble as I say them.

My smile widens even more and I didn't even know that that was possible.

"The rings you are about to place on each other's fingers are symbols of the eternal love you feel feel for each other. They will also remind you of the promises you made." He says.

I take my skirt in my hands and lift it so I can turn a little. In just a blink of an eye I'm looking at Five again. Actually, staring is a better word for it.

"Now, Five place the ring on y/n's finger." The minister says.

Five grabs a black box out of his pocket. He opens it and I can't help but stand on my toes to see the jewelry.

When Five's eyes widen, I know that something is wrong.

"It's umm. . ." he trails off "not in there."

I want to say something, I really do, but I can't. I should've expected this.

He really couldn't keep the damn ring in that tiny box, could he?

When a loud laugh fills my ears, I turn around. My eyes widen when I see little John and Vanya approaching us. Those two, plus Five, continue laughing until both little John and Vanya are in front of us.

"You really fell for it, didn't you!" Vanya chuckles as she puts the box in Five's hands.

These jackasses really did that.

"I did." I admit before I start laughing with.

When the loud laughs have faded and the minister is focused again, Five places the ring on my finger. I allow myself a few seconds of time to admire the metal band that is set with a diamond.

He really outdid himself.

But then again, after making me mentally curse in front of absolutely everyone, I earned this.

"Now, y/n, place the ring on Five's finger."

I do. Unlike Five, I don't have any joke planned.

"Then I now pronounce you Husband and Wife." The minister says.

I cannot wait for what he's about to say now.

"You may kiss each other."

My eyes meet Five's again and I can tell that he can't wait. I can't wait, too.

Five crashes his lips on mine. At first it's just a gentle kiss but it doesn't take long until my husband starts to kiss me more fiercely with passion.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my honor to present for the first time, Mr and Mrs Hargreeves!"

When everyone starts applauding around us, we lean back. But Five's face stays just inches away from mine. I look deep into his eyes and the corners of my lips curl up.

"I love you Mrs hargreeves." Five whispers before colliding our lips once again.
