The Forgotten Few

Chapter One: The Wedding

Emma wasn't surprised the way her life turned out. Of course, she found her parents and has her son, but the one person who made it all special was the man standing at the end of the aisle.

Emma tried hard to hold back the tears as her father walked her down the aisle as the music started. Every step, her butterflies increasing. "Every step," Emma's father thought, "closer to giving her away." Killian stared at Emma in awe as David walked her down the aisle to the altar.

"Let me know if he does anything to you, and I'll swing by and kill him for you," David joked as he let his daughter go.

"Don't worry daddy," Emma replied.

"We are gathered here today to witness the union of Killian Jones and Emma Swan," announced Mother Superior, "Now, as I understand it, Killian, you have written your own vows?"

"Yes," he replied. There was a pause as Emma tried to hold her tears back. "Swan, after my first love died, I thought I could never love again. When I first laid my eyes on you in the Enchanted Forest, I didn't know it then, but I could feel it. You were the one. But I was blinded, and only sought vengeance. I never imagined a woman as beautiful as you could ever love a lousy pirate like me. Even a man with a hook in place where his hand should be. Your love for me shaped me into the man I am today. I love you Swan. Please don't ever forget that."

"When I was young," Emma started, letting the tears she worked
so hard to keep in out, "my caretakers would read me the fairy tales we live in. But they had got one story wrong. Yours. They left out the part about Killian Jones, not Captain Hook, a man with a heart the size of his ship. Killian, I will forever and always remember what you said to me,"If a heart can be broken, that means it still works.", and that is the moment I realized that you were the one. I could never admit my true feelings about someone until we were staring death straight in the face, because love had only brought me pain. I had walls up, Killian, but you brought them down. You brought love, true love into my life. Now you don't ever forget that." Now, Emma had tears streaming down her face.

"Henry, the rings please," said Mother Superior. Henry brought over two rings, one silver, one gold, both enscribed with the words "forever and always".

"I will love you forever and always," Killian whispered to Emma as he placed the ring on her finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

"You don't have to tell me twice," and Killian swooped Emma in as they shared a passionate kiss. They then broke the kiss and proceeded down the aisle.
