What If? (Outlaw Queen fanfic)

Chapter 23

The rest of the week went by very slowly for Robin and Regina.  They worked on nothing but the wedding the whole time, barely having time to speak to each other during the day.  Robin even planned a surprise for their honeymoon.  

The night before the wedding, Regina was trying to convince Robin that it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.  "Can't we avoid it this one time?"  Robin even stuck his bottom lip out.  Regina laughed.

"No Robin!  Either you leave this room or I will!  I don't want our marriage to have bad luck!"  This time Regina stuck her lip out.

"Alright fine, I'll leave!  But only because you just look so adorable when you are pouting."  Robin walked up to Regina and wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her closer to him.  "You're going to make me a very happy man tomorrow!"

"How do you know that I'm going to say yes?"  Robin jerked back at this statement.

"What?"

"Robin, honey, I was only kidding with you!  I love you!"   Regina walked back towards Robin and gave him a hug.  Robin stood still for a moment, but then he wrapped his arms around her too.

"I'm sorry, m'lady!  I just got a little nervous.  It  just seemed that my whole life I would never be able to be happy until I found you!  I just don't want to lose you!"  Regina smiled at him.

"I promise that you're not going to lose me!  I love you too much!"

"Well that's good to hear!"  Robin leaned down to Regina's ear and whispered in it.  "Because I love you too!"  After saying this, Regina wrapped her arms tighter around Robin's waist and laid her head on his chest to where she could hear his heart beat.  After staying in each other's embrace for a while Robin started laughing.  Regina pulled back so she could look into his sparkling blue eyes.

"What are you laughing about?"

"Do I still have to leave?"  Regina didn't say anything for a while, but then walked to the door and opened it.

"I'm afraid so.  I'm not taking any chances!"

"As you wish m'lady!"  Robin walked toward her and leaned down to her lips.  He pressed his lips onto hers but when he pulled back it felt like his lips were still on hers.  "Good night m'lady!  Tomorrow at this time, you will be my new wife!  I love you!"

"I love you too!"  They went their separate ways, but they both ended up not being able to sleep without the other because they were so used to the other.  Regina tossed and turned for what seemed like hours until she finally decided to go see if Robin was still asleep.  Regina walked to the closed door of the room that Robin was staying in for the night.  She turned the knob very slowly and cracked the door open.  She saw that Robin was turning onto his right side and they made eye contact.  Robin smiled at her.

"You can't sleep either?"

"No!  I'm too used to sleeping next to you!  I miss you too much!  Maybe we could make an exception.  We will just make sure that we avoid each other tomorrow before the wedding."  Robin smiled.

"I'm glad you gave in!"  

"Just come on!  I'm ready to snuggle!"  Robin rolled out of the bed he was in and followed Regina to their room.  Robin closed the door and got in bed next to Regina.  He snaked his arm around her stomach and pulled her closer to where her hair was against his nose.  "That's a lot better!  Now I can go to sleep!  Good night, I love you my thief!"

"I love you too!"  This time they actually fell asleep.

------------------------------

The next morning, they didn't see each other at all before the wedding.  Robin took no time getting ready, but Regina took a few maids and a lot of time to get ready.  In the end, she looked as if she was the fairest of the land.  

The doors swung open and the flower girl started walking down the aisle throwing rose petals on the floor.  Behind her, Little John was arm in arm with Tinkerbell.  Little John was Robin's Best Man, and Tinkerbell was Regina's Maid of Honor.  Then, Regina and her father walked in.  Robin looked at Regina and let a few tears fall.  I think I'm marrying the fairest of them all!  When Regina and her father finally got in front of Robin, the priest spoke up.

"Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"  Henry smiled while a small tear fell down his cheek.

"I do"  Henry placed Regina's hand into Robin's as he walked to his chair to sit down in.  

-------------------------------

"Robin, do you take Regina to be your wedded wife?  Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, remaining faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"

"I do!"

"Regina, do you take Robin to be you wedded husband?  Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, remaining faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"

"I do!"

"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.  King Robin, you may now kiss your queen!"  Robin turned towards Regina and kissed her.  They were now husband and wife and nothing was going to bring them apart.

------------------------

Robin found Regina and told all the guests that the reception was over.  Robin took Regina by the hand and led her to a horse drawn carriage waiting for them.  "What's this?"

"Well, I found something for our honeymoon!  I think you're going to love it!"  Robin helped Regina into the carriage and then got in and sat beside her.  They held hands the whole way there.  

"So, do you want to tell me where we are going?"

"Haven't you figured out that I like to give you surprises yet?"

"Oh yes, how could I forget!  You're always surprising me with something!"  Robin looked out the carriage window and saw the log cabin.

"We are here m'lady!"  Regina climbed over Robin and looked out the window herself.

"Wow!  Robin, a cabin!  How did you find it?"

"I was just walking in the forest one day and found it!  I thought of you the moment I saw it!"  The carriage pulled right up to the cabin so they didn't have to walk very far.  "So, how long would you like to stay m'lady?"

"Well, obviously more than a night!  How about in three days you come back Jefferson?"

"I can do that!  You two have a great time, but don't have too much fun!"  Jefferson pulled away and the two soulmates were left alone at last.  Regina looked up at Robin and smiled.

"I've been waiting for this moment all week!"

"Really?  I have too m'lady!"  Robin grabbed Regina's hand and they walked up to the door of the cabin.  Regina reached to push it open, but Robin stopped her by grabbing her hand.

"What is it, Robin?"

"You're not just going to walk in there m'lady?"

"Well how else am I supposed to get in there?"  Robin laughed and leaned down to pick Regina up bridal style. 

"Like this of course!"  Regina laughed as Robin kicked the door open.  He walked inside with Regina in his arms and closed the door behind him with his foot.
