Rating: G

Note: So they've got one episode for Emma and Killian to decide to get married now and plan this wedding. I'm hoping for a scene where they decide not to postpone in tomorrow's episode. I would love if they came up with this plan and followed through with it. Hope you enjoy it! ~Steph

...Just the Beginning: Part 1/1...

Emma stared at the clock on the nightstand. 3:04 a.m. She had been staring at it for the better part of three hours. She sighed heavily and flipped to her other side, surprised to meet the gaze of her fiancé.

"Can't sleep either?" she asked.

Killian nodded. "Aye, not a wink. Well, I know what's keeping me up. What about you?"

She gnawed on her lower lip for a long moment.

"I don't want to postpone our wedding," she admitted.

Killian's eyes widened. "You don't?"

"No. Killian, I know my father made some good points, but I don't want to wait to become your wife. We have already waited long enough and we have had to overcome so much."

"Your father was right about the timing, Emma."

"The timing will never be perfect. There will always be something going on." She paused, a smile curling her lips. "A wise pirate once gave me some great advice."

"Did he now?" he asked with a cocky grin.

"He said there's always a crisis. You might want to consider living your life during them or you might miss it."

"He sounds brilliant. And devilishly handsome."

"He is," Emma said with a giggle.

Killian's grin quickly faded. "But, Emma, I don't want you to have any regrets on our wedding day. Your father was right. I don't want you to be thinking about the Black Fairy or the final battle on the day we marry."

Emma smiled and lifted her hand, caressing his cheek.

"I won't. I will be focused on one thing and one thing only. Getting to marry the man I love. Nothing else will matter."

"And what if the Black Fairy does try to interrupt? That is a very real possibility once she gets wind of our wedding plans. I am going to assume she has no qualms about crashing."

Emma thought for a long moment and then her eyes lit up.

"She can't crash something she doesn't know is happening."

Killian's brow furrowed. "Love, how do you expect to keep it hidden when your parents wish to invite the entire town?"

"Oh we'll still plan and have the big wedding."

Killian's brow further wrinkled in confusion. "I haven't a bloody clue what you're proposing, Swan."

"I'm proposing that prior to having the big, public wedding, we have a small, private, clandestine one."

Killian arched an eyebrow. "I do rather enjoy clandestine activities. Go on."

Emma linked her fingers with his, her engagement ring catching the light of the moon and making her smile.

"We wanted to get married on the Jolly Roger. We wanted to get married on the sea. Well, we still can."

Killian's lips turned into a huge smile. He had dreamt of marrying Emma on the water, as the sun set behind them. He had spent many lonely days and nights on that ship. Years wasted by his thirst for vengeance. But everything changed when Emma made him believe he could care for someone other than himself again. He turned his ship around and never looked back.
