Can't Help Fallin' For You ~CaptainSwan Fanfiction

Chapter 32: Road Trip

Hello, my incredibly patient R.M.B's! It's good to be back with this book! Major time jump, enjoy! Please don't hate me for not going into detail for a few things, as I feel like if I had it would have brought this story to an end. You'll see what I mean..

As usual, don't be afraid to drop some comments and maybe leave a vote? Thanks, loves!

Both their eyes were wet with tears of joy.

Emma dressed in white.

Her stomach rounded, nearly seven months pregnant.

Killian waiting for her to reach him.

A wedding march played behind the scene, but no matter how loud and beautiful the music was, the whole world seemed to fade away as the couple found each other's eyes.

Emma kissed Liam's cheek, who had walked her down the aisle, doubling up as best man as well. Tess and Lacy stood off to the side, roses in hand.

There was no audience. And that was okay. It was more than okay, in fact. The important people in their lives were there, and that was all that mattered. They didn't need a big ceremony or a huge venue. All they needed was a pastor to wed them, and they could've done it in a barn for all they cared.

Soon enough, the time for vows came along, though it hadn't seemed like much time had passed at all. Had the couple been attentive to the pastor's words rather than each other, they might have heard him the first time he asked them to begin reciting their vows.

"Eh, right," Killian began nervously. This was real. This was happening. "Emma... when we met, there was only one thing that mattered to me: avenging the woman I once loved. And you did something no one else could: You showed me that a heart full of love is the most valuable thing a man can have. And one that I don't intend to lose. They say a sailor's heart belongs to the sea... but with this ring, it belongs to you."

Emma smiled, her eyes brimming with tears as Killian slipped the wedding band onto her finger and she managed to get out her vows.

"Killian... I spent so much of my life on my own. I never had parents or friends. Anyone to love or to love me. But then you came along... and you changed everything. You helped me make friends... gave me a family. But just because you read stories and fairytales about finding true love... doesn't mean you believe that you'll ever find it. And thanks to you, now I have."

Killian closed his eyes for a brief moment in pure happiness. He couldn't understand how he'd somehow gotten to where he was. But he didn't care. He had Emma now and he wouldn't dare question whatever had deemed him worthy of her, out of fear they might realize a mistake.

Emma slipped the matching wedding band onto Killian's finger with a wet-eyed, loving smile.

"Do you, Killian Jones, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to hold, for better or for worse, through sickness and health, till death do you apart?"

"I do," Killian said, just barely over a whisper.

A single tear rolled down his cheek.

"And do you, Emma Swan, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold, for better or for worse, through sickness and health, till death do you apart?"

"I do," Emma answered without a single moment's hesitation, earning an even wider smile from Killian,

"By the power vested in me, I hereby declare you husband and wife."
