The Light Guiding Me To You

Chapter 18

(Emma's POV)

As late afternoon neared, Killian and I went downstairs. We were sad but we knew that this was a day we didn't want to waste.

He kissed my hand as we stood outside the doors to the ballroom. "It will be alright love."

"I just wanted this with you." I held his hand to my stomach. "What kind of wife will I be if I can't give you children?"

He moved his hand from my stomach to my face. "I would love you either way. This is just a small detour in our path." He placed a light kiss onto my forehead. "Now worry not, love. We will get through this. I know we will. I will do anything to make sure that you are happy, love."

"Thanks Killian." I kiss his cheek gently.

"It's nothing Emma. Now show me that beautiful smile of yours." He smirks and I oblige. "That's my girl." He grabs hold of my hand before we walk into the ballroom. Everybody is looking at us. I feel Killian squeeze my hand, knowing that it calms me.

We make our way up to where's our family is before everybody starts to eat. The food is delicious but I can't find it in myself to eat very much. It just seems a bit off-putting at the moment.

"Are you alright love?" Killian asks with concern. "You don't look well."

"I'm fine, I am just not very hungry that's all." I reassure him.

"I know that this is hard Emma. I want this just as much as you do. But we still have to live our lives amidst this patch of darkness. I will dedicate my life to make you happy and give you all that you desire. Just let me in love. Alright?"

I nod with a small smile. "All I need is your love."

"I love you Emma. More than anything." He gazes into my eyes.

"I love you too Killian." I place a kiss on his lips.

He smirks into it before standing up. "Would you give me the honour of dancing our first dance as husband and wife?"

"Of course." I place my hand in his and he pulls me to the middle of the dance floor. The music starts and we start swaying.

He places his forehead against mine and smiles. "Can I make you a promise my love?"

"What do you mean? Of course!" I looked into his eyes.

"I promise you this. From this moment on, I am going to make sure that you are going live the happiest life you possibly can. I will ensure that we make the most of everyday. I am going to show you the world. Because not even the worlds most powerful wizard will every take away what we have." He presses his lips against mine.

What did I ever do to deserve him? A girl like myself would never in a million years be expected to fall in love with someone like him. He is so pure and just everything good. What am I? Weak. But when I'm with him I am strong.

We split and he is looking at me with an intense glare.

"What?" I huff with a smile.

"I just want to remember you like this forever."

"Like what? Dressed up in white with happy tears in my eyes. You like crying brides now do you?"

"No. You look happy. With all the bad that has been happening lately, it brings me over the moon to see you smile." He pulled me closer. I could feel his heart beating out of his chest for me.

"I am so happy with you. You have done everything for me. I just think that you deserve the same in return." That was what someone such as himself deserved. I want to give him the world.
