When The Tide Is High

[Emma]

"Ready?" David asked as he held my left arm.

I bit my lower lip and smiled widely.

"I am" I inhaled deeply as I brushed off the lower part of my dress. My hands were shaking and my heart was beating faster than ever. "Did you feel... nervous when you were about to get married?" I asked shyly.

David gave me a tender smile.

"I did. But once I was next to your mother in the altar the nervousness disappeared. Knowing that I was going to spend the rest of my life with her was priceless"

"It's just... I can't believe this is happening. I never thought this moment was going to come. All my love life has been full of breaks and drama. Now I'm about to change it"

The music began to play. It was time.

"Dreams do come true Emma. Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending-"

"Is a powerful thing" I continued, beaming. David kissed slowly my forehead before starting to walk.

The doors of the hall opened, showing the most beautiful place I've ever seen. There were shiny candelabrums hanging in the ceiling, colorful ornamental flowers placed on both sides of the corridor, and every guest wearing Enchanted Forest clothes. Yes, you heard right. We decided to give the wedding a fairytale theme (besides the point that most of us belong to one) and make it unique. Dad and I continued walking straight. My heart continued with its fast beating as soon as my eyes caught sight of my soon to be husband. He was wearing an outfit similar to the one he used during our stay in the past. This one, however, had a grayish coat and was far more elegant than the other one. Killian had his sword on the right side, it was some sort of fairytale tradition. He definitely looked handsome.

Dad gave him my hand before joining my mom's side. Killian caressed it gently with his left hand. David was right, my nervousness disappeared once I had Killian next to me.

Wait. Did I just... his left hand?!?!

For a moment I thought it was the fake one. But I realized it wasn't. It was real!

I wanted to ask him how he got it back. I was so happy for him! Nonetheless it wasn't the most appropriate moment. I limited to point it with my eyes as Killian smiled and let out a lovely chuckle.

[Killian]

I knew she would be surprised. Yes, my hand was back. Let's just say I got an early wedding present from Rumple.

The ceremony began. Every single resident of Storybrooke was present, so it was definitely a big event.

I couldn't avoid looking at Emma constantly. She looked beautiful. Her strapless dress was decorated with small blue flowers on one side. Her blonde hair was curly and made up in a ponytail with some strings next to her cheeks. Moreover, she never stopped smiling. Neither did I.

Archie finally pronounced the words that officially tied us together.

"It's a pleasure to now declare you... husband and wife"

I leaned closer to Emma until my lips were on hers, sealing our love. She placed her hands on my shoulders as I did on her forearms. For an instant, I felt we were the only humans in the hall, with no one else watching us. We didn't even notice when the applauses began.

Emma and I put our foreheads together and grinned. I felt how a small teardrop fell from my eye. I admit I was crying of happiness, which doesn't happen regularly.

The great hall was transformed into a castle's ballroom full of tables, food, ornaments and a dance floor thanks to the fairies, Rumple and Regina.

I believe I danced with all the ladies in Storybrooke, (including my mother-in-law) receiving lots of congrats and hugs. The food was excellent and quite delicious. Suddenly, it was waltz time.

"Would you dance with me, Mrs. Jones?" I asked Emma, stretching my hand.

"Okay. Just because you called me Mrs. Jones" she replied grinning as she took my hand and I led her to the dance floor. We took our positions and began to dance "Sounds nice"

"What?" I asked without taking my eyes off of her gaze.

"Emma Jones" she replied with a small smile.

"Aye. Sounds perfect. I'm still calling you Swan though"

"I'm counting on it"

We danced and celebrated the whole night. Who would've said? A pirate and a princess who got married. That doesn't happen all the time.

What do matters is never stop looking out for your happiness, even though it means taking risks. At the end, it's completely worth it.
