6 Months Later

MARY

I was pacing the floor, nervously, and tried to control my breathing. There was a light knock on the door and I weakly said,

"Come in." Kenna popped her head through the door, and walked in twirling in her bridesmaid dress.

"Oh, Kenna, you look so gorgeous." I told her, as I took her hands in mine and twirled her around. We giggled as she came back to face me and there was-yet another- knock on the door.

"Sweetie, are you ready?" Catherine asked me. We haad gotten on better terms and she agreed to walk me down the aisle. I understood where she had come from, not wanting to give her son away, especially to her enemy's daughter. As we got to know each other, we really bonded and I was happy to have a female figure in my life.

I took a deep breath and nodded.

She smiled and put out her hand out for me to grab, either to hold me up or to walk me down, I wasn't sure.

As we approached the door, Kenna went first, with Bash and I stayed with Catherine. She turned to me and whispered, "Take care of him, okay?"

The music started playing, Cannon in D, and the doors were opened for me.

It was astounding, how easy it was. I though I was going to be this nervous wreck the whole time, but the only thing I saw was Francis. His hair was just as crazy as ever, but wow, Francis in a suit let me just tell you that he looks great.

He looked up through his curls and smiled a smile so wide, I was afraid that he would break his cheeks.

I stepped up onto the stage and faced my love.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to join Francis Valois and Mary Stewart in marriage."

Before I knew it, it was time to exchange vows, and thankfully Francis started before I got a chance to.

He cleared his throat, before stating, "Mary, I've loved you before I knew what love was, before I was old enough to comprehend it. I vow to love you, to watch the Notebook with you when you feel sad, I promise to hold you when you're lonely, to cook you pancakes when you wake up and not to burn them." He laughed quietly to himself before continuing. "But most of all, I promise to love you. For ever and ever."

I wiped the tears that had begun to roll down my cheeks. "Mine aren't as extravagant, I can tell you that. But,' I leaned in 'I think they're pretty great. "I remember when we were little and I told you that I was never going to date a boy, like ever, I believe the exact words were. I will never forget your reaction. You told me that wasn't true, and frankly you got pretty mad. But as time, years really, went by, your love made me believe. And I love you, so much, Francis. I don't know why you chose me but I wouldn't trade your love for anything."

Before I could even blink, the rings were out, and he was slipping it on my finger saying, "As this ring has no end, neither shall my love for you."

"You may now kiss the bride."

He lifted my veil, and planted the lips that I knew so well down on mine in a passionate kiss that didn't last nearly as long as I wanted it to.

He grabbed my hand and whisked me into his arms and carried me- as cheesy as it sounds- bridal style down the aisle. I giggled as he did and ran down the aisle, petals falling as he did.

He eventually put me down to run with him to our suite.

I jumped down on the bed and exhaled as he jumped on the bed next to me.

He leaned on his elbow and stared down at me.

"What? Why are you looking at me?" He put his hand on my cheek and leaned down to kiss me tenderly.

"I just think that my wife is so beautiful. Is that ok?"

"I think it is, husband." This time I kissed him and when we broke off, he gathered me in his arms.

"Thank you for letting me be your husband." He told me, planting a kiss on my nose.

"Thank you for being my husband."

And when he held me that night, I knew that I had made all of the right decisions, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Hey guys, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but I sort of fell out of the fandom. It hurt so much to let go of Mary and Francis, and of course this story, and I felt that everyone that had stuck with me throughout the whole story deserved for things to be tied up. So, even though I don't feel very confident about this chapter, I'm going to put this as the last chapter. Thank you so much to everyone that read it and favorited and reviewed and everything. This was my first fanfiction and it was such a great experience. So I know I've already said it like 15,000,000 times already but thank you all, so much.
