Epilogue
May 6th, 1967
Han peeked into the hall before darting across into the choir room. Leia was waiting, just as they'd planned. He paused for a moment to take her in. She'd chosen to wear her mother's wedding dress. It clung to her shoulders and hips and fell to the floor in a pool of silk and lace; the sleeves brushed her wrists and the back dipped low, covered tastefully by a long lace veil.
She held out her hands, and he took them gently.
"You can touch me. You won't break me, I promise," she whispered. He drew her close, and his forehead fell to hers. His hands went to her waist, and her arms wrapped around his neck.
"We're getting married in a few minutes," he whispered.
"I know. I love you," she whispered.
"I love you too."
"Nervous?"
"Not a bit."
"Good. Me either." They were both silent for a moment as someone hurried by the door.
"I don't know where they are, Celly! That's why we're lookin'."
"Well, that happened quicker than I thought it would," Leia muttered.
"Kes and Shara warned us that we wouldn't get a single moment by ourselves. That's why we did this, remember?" he soothed, rubbing his thumbs across her hipbones.
"I'm glad we did," she replied. The door opened, and Shara poked her head in. She winked at Han and Leia and turned back to whichever of Leia's aunts was in the hall with her.
"Not in here. Maybe they're out back," she suggested.
"Thank you," Leia mouthed. Shara gave a covert nod and closed the door.
"That ought to give us a few more minutes," he mumbled, drawing her back in. "This time tomorrow, we'll be in Chicago. Just you and me, and we won't have to hide in an empty choir room."
"And I certainly hope the dress code will be far less formal," she teased, tugging playfully at his lapels.
"Hmm…I think the dress code should be no dress at all…" he whispered scandalously. He brushed kisses along Leia's hairline. "But you do look beautiful, sweetheart." There was a gentle knock at the door.
"That's Shara," Leia breathed. "It's time."
"See you at the altar, sweetheart."
AN: Please tell me what you thought of the conclusion to our story!
Where we are headed next: Back to weekly posting (but not next week, I will be on vacation with no computer. Sorry!) After that, though, we are back to one-shots in the GFFA. I also have one BailxBreha one-shot in the list, and a one-shot from this 'verse that I think you will all like, so be sure to stick around. And, coming probably in May, we have a story that will be about as long as this tentatively titled 'Becoming the Organas' which details how Bail and Breha met and got together. It's all very exciting, and I do hope you will stick around!
