I'm Back! Hi everyone, sorry I was gone so long, school has been psychotic and I've been swamped. This story is met to be multiple oneshots. If you like a particular one let me know and if enough people like it, I'll continue it. I may not be able to update super often, but I'll try to update at least once a week. Please review and feel free to give me ideas. They always make me update faster. Keep in mind that this is only my second fanfic and my fist Tangled fanfic. And for those of you that care, I've seen the movie twice and I own the soundtrack. I hope you like this story. It was inspired by The Harters song, "If I run." Take a listen if you want, it's a good song. Enjoy the show.
Rapunzel stood against the balcony, staring out at the town below her, wondering where Eugene was. He had left earlier that week with some of the soldiers and Maximus to investigate rumors that Gothel was still alive. She had begged him not to go, fearing what had happened when Eugene had last seen Gothel, when he had died. He was supposed to return that night and had worried franticly this past week that he wouldn't return to her. She moved from the balcony to pace again.
Suddenly she heard a loud crash, causing her to jump. She was on edge until a young maid had come to her door and told her nothing was wrong, only that a serving maid had dropped some crockery. After the door closed behind the maid, Rapunzel's hand dropped to her stomach, thinking to herself, "You're alright little one. We're safe and Eugene will return to us soon. He has to." She hadn't even told him that she was with child. What if she never got the chance? How could she raise her child alone if he didn't return?
Fear after fear flooded her mind; she didn't even hear the door opening quietly until she heard her mother's voice. Slowly she turned. The queen stood before her, worry clear on her face. "Are you alright, my dear? You don't need to worry, he'll return soon. Perhaps a bridge was out or maybe they got slightly lost. He's only a little late." Her mother said quietly.
After a few more hours of waiting, Rapunzel heard shouts and the beating of hooves against cobblestone. She flew from their room, her light, pale, pink dress fluttering behind her. Rushing down the halls, nearly colliding with a servant, she rushed to the palace's main entrance. Her tear-filled emerald eyes filled with more tears and relief when Eugene ran into the hall. With a cry, she ran into his arms, breaking down against his chest. "I'm so sorry, Blondie." Eugene said. "We ran into some bandits and it took quite a bit of time to defeat and capture them, we didn't have the chance to send a messenger. We looked into the rumors and learned they were unfounded. Gothel is never coming back and she will never hurt you again. I'm so sorry."
After a few minutes, Eugene led her back to their room, where he could hold her without them being constantly watched. By now, Rapunzel's sobs had quieted to a few stray tears. He looked into her eyes, chocolate and emeralds. Then she told him to sit down, as she walked over to a chair. To his surprise, she didn't sit down, but stood across from him, taking his hands in hers. Eugene looked at her, curiosity all over his face. Taking a deep breath, she finally told him "Eugene, I'm pregnant."
For a moment, he just stared at her, his eyes widening. Then he sprang from his chair and lifted her into the air, spinning her around with absolute joy on his face. "Blondie, that's wonderful! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Rapunzel felt so relieved that he wasn't angry. "I was afraid you'd be angry. We hadn't really discussed having kids yet and we've only been married half a year.I only found out the day after you left."
Eugene looked startled. "Why would you think I'd be angry? I'm so incredibly happy, I can barely breathe! I would never be angry with you, especially for something I had a part in.," he said with a very Flynn-like smile. "I am completely overjoyed, Blondie. Never doubt that. I love you.
Rapunzel smiled as Eugene set her down, taking his hand and pulling him out onto the balcony. Then she turned back to him and he wrapped his arms around her, cradling her face before he gently kissed her, all his love for her infused in a single, perfect kiss. Rapunzel slipped her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss. This was definitely worth waiting for.
That's the end of the first oneshot. Hoped you liked it. Please review. I'm aiming for more than seven reviews. I'll try to respond to all reviews and if you know any good RapunzelXFlynn fanfics, let me know. Thank you all. Sayonara.
