hey there guys, thought i better stick this up before i get anymore messages asking where it is. there might not be an update now till after the 20th since the exam is so near, but ill let you know something weird that happened today. i was sitting in my hospital library and i got hit on by some random hot third year guy, rugby type too, and then he gave me a kiss before leaving! i swear if i wasnt in the hospital i would of jumped him right there and then. only know this guys first name, and that his biceps feel like rock! how weird is that?
lndcrazygirl and fraur001: here it is, sorry its late, damn exams!
funkywatermelon: he had to be happy, i mean he loves her and most people i know who have lost parents are desperate to be one themselves.
romance and musicals: i love back stories, as they make sense of who you are, and i felt like some were needed. someone gave me the gothel seduction idea, i just thought it was brillant!
aimakichan: yes they left, and dont worry im so very far of the end.
right, im now completely leaving the movie and original fairy tale. there will be some odd quotes and referneces, but from now its my complete own idea. there will be more oc's and some other odd stuff. there will be a reacurrance of characters and some more brutalness later, but that will be later.
also, she will not have twins, i thought that would be far too much for her, so its a single birth.
disclaimer: i own nothing
Chapter Twenty-Nine
By the time Rapunzel and Eugene set off from the tower it was almost nightfall. Eugene had travelled by night many times with a bagful of stolen goods, but he wasn't even going to attempt it this time. Not only was he travelling with considerably more stolen goods, but he was now also travelling with his pregnant lover. He knew she could defend herself, and him as well, as he could see her trusty frying pan sticking out from her satchel, but now they both had someone else to think of. He looked at her, she looked so small and delicate. He had told her to ride on the horse and he would carry one of the bags on his back, but she had point blank refused. She had even, finally, put her ankle boots on. She was determined to get away and have the best chance to put as much distance between herself and Gothel as possible. Eugene however had a more sensible plan.
So, after much argument and threats with the frying pan, they were now walking towards the Snugly Duckling. Eugene had finally persuaded her that, although Gothel had lied about a lot, it was still dangerous to walk through a forest at night with a horse laden with stolen treasure. He assured her that first thing tomorrow they would head straight for Peroni, pick up some things from Tom, get married then travel to Estrella. She had finally agreed.
Once they arrived at the Snugly Duckling Rapunzel was both exhausted and hungry, Eugene was obviously worried. He knew that pregnancy had to be hard and he wanted to do everything in his power to make it easier for her. When they got into the pub the thugs greeted them all very warmly with bowls of a hearty stew and mugs of hot chocolate. They all sat and listened as Rapunzel told them everything that had happened that day. The pub thugs were an amazing audience. They gasped, ohhed and ahhed in all the right places, and when she was finished they had unpacked the horse and stored all the bags in her room. This meant that Eugene and Rapunzel could retire to their room with absolutely nothing to worry about.
When they were finally alone Eugene hugged his lover as closely as he could while he whispered how brave she was in her ear. He looked down at her and saw that she had tears in her eyes. He asked what was wrong.
"I'm just scared. I've left everything I've ever known. And I don't know what were going to yet."
"Me neither, but you're the bravest person I've ever known and your going to be great."
This made Rapunzel smile as she leaned up and kissed Eugene, softly and delicately. All her fears and uncertainties suddenly spilling away as she deepened the kiss. She felt his arms wrap around her waist, bringing her flush against his body as her fingers started to run through his hair. All of a sudden she was off the ground and on the bed, with Eugene on top of her. They finally broke apart gasping for air.
"Can we have sex, with me being pregnant?" Rapunzel asked through her heavy gasps for air.
"I think so, well we have been having sex for months and nothing bad has happened. Just relax and if it hurts lets me know." Rapunzel nodded as Eugene started to undo the ribbons of her bodice before moving onto her corset.
Rapunzel merely moaned into his touch once he eventually got to her bare skin. This was when he dragged his shirt and vest off over his head before undoing his trousers. He had already taken off his boots when he got into the room. He turned his attention to the layers of Rapunzels skirt, giving her a cheeky grin before gripping the fabric and whipping it off her slim form in one fluid motion.
"Eugene!" She exclaimed in a fit of giggles. She wiggled out of her underwear and waited for Eugene to take of his and begin to rock her world as she knew he could. But he just sat there before her with this goofy look on his face. Rapunzel was starting to get nervous. He had never taken this long to being before he started to ravish her body.
Rapunzel was just about to cover herself up when Eugene leaned down to kiss her stomach. He stroked it gently before looking up into her face and kissing her lightly. He manoeuvred himself so her was now between her legs and began to kiss her down her neck and across her collar bone, while he massaged her breasts as softly as he could, eliciting the softest moans from his lover. He grabbed at her thigh bringing it up so he could press himself firmer against her.
In a tantalisingly slow movement he took off Rapunzel's wet underpants and his own, realising his erection from its prison. He moved very slowly again to bring the tip of himself just over Rapunzel. He moved so slowly, enjoying the sound that was now escaping her lips as he drove himself into her in such a subtly and controlled manner. They moved in union Eugene moving in and out slowly while Rapunzel brought her hips up in time to meet his thrusts, pushing him deeper with in, over and over again until the pleasure built to it maximum. It spilled over her, making her gasp out loud as she gripped onto Eugene's taut buttocks as he filled her, shuddering in pleasure.
He withdrew slowly as he stood, moving towards the satchel that was on the floor. For this he pulled out a pair of fresh underpants for Rapunzel before he went to pull his own underwear back on. He walked back towards the bed, handing her his shirt. Once they were dressed for bed Eugene climbed in next to her, lying behind her so they were once again in the spooning position. Rapunzel smiled at their close contact and at the soft sensation of Eugene rubbing her belly softly. Eugene whispered "I love you, both of you," before he fell into a deep sleep. Rapunzel meanwhile stroked her own stomach softly, looking down at hers and Eugene's hands covering her.
"You, are going to be so loved," Rapunzel said softly to the life that was growing inside her, before falling asleep.
Eugene was woken up early the next morning by the sudden disappearance of the body of his lover. He then heard the worse sound he could imagine. His lover vomiting. He jumped out of bed to the washroom that was just outside their bedroom. He saw her curled over the toilet bowel looking very sad and pathetic.
"Hey," Eugene said as he sat down next to her.
"Hi," Rapunzel choked out.
"How you feeling?"
"Nauseous."
"You been feeling like that for a while?"
"The last month or two. The book said it would stop soonish though."
"The book?"
"The one you bought me, about the human body. It had a big section on pregnancy."
"I had no idea it had that in it. I bought it purely for the parts on the human body development."
Rapunzel laughed at this thought, before leaning in to give him a small peck on the lips. Unfortunately she felt a second wave of morning sickness kick in and only just made it back to the toilet bowel before vomiting heavily again. Eugene sat beside her and rubbed small circles on her back while Vladimir brought Rapunzel up a glass of water.
"I heard her throwing up and thought she might like it." Eugene thanked Vladimir for his kindness before telling him that they would be down in a minute for breakfast. The very mention of breakfast made Rapunzel groan into the bowel.
When they got downstairs they found that the pub thugs had made them a very healthy breakfast of porridge and fruit. They also had a very large pot of tea waiting for Rapunzel. Though she did look a little green she still managed to eat her serving, then Eugene's and Big-Nose's servings. Luckily Attila had made a huge batch, he had heard that pregnant women have huge appetites and he wanted to be prepared.
During breakfast the pub thugs brought down the bags from Rapunzels room and started to load them into a cart that they had gifted to the young couple. It had once been Fang's and he had used it to cart around his puppet show set, but since he had set it up permanently in the Snugly Duckling he didn't need it. It was quite old and a bit rickety, but it would do the job very nicely. They had also made the couple a present. They all had worked through the night and made a small cot. Gunter had designed the cot. Bruiser and Killer had sewn and knitted many quilts and comforters for the baby. That meant that they had now been given an additionally bagful of stuff, plus the cot. It still all managed to fit into the cart, though Eugene had no idea how they were going to transport it all as he had to give the horse back to Tom.
By mid afternoon everything and everybody was ready to go. Vladimir, Attila, Big-Nose and Hook-Hand had decided to accompany them to Peroni. The first reason was to make sure no one tried to hijack them and the second was because Rapunzel assured them they were going to be getting married that day. Rapunzel had also asked Hook-Hand to walk her down the aisle and give her away. This made Hook-Hand cry out some joyous tears before rounding on Eugene and threatening him with all manner of horrid torture if he ever hurt Rapunzel. This did make Eugene smile, as any father would have done the same.
When they eventually set out Rapunzel was sitting on top of the horse. It had actually taken all five men about thirty minutes to persuade her. It turns out Rapunzel was actually slightly afraid to ride on a horse alone. The only horse she would have trusted would have been Max. They had finally set off after a lot of set backs, but now Rapunzel was on the horse that was strapped to the small cart. Eugene was holding the horse's reins and directing it while the four pub thugs had spread out as if given them a honoured guard. They looked like a very strange party of travellers, but they were filled with such joy and merriment that none of them noticed.
They arrived in Peroni round about lunch time and immediately set about work for what they had to do. Vladimir and Big-Nose went to the local inn to book them all in. They were given the best rooms the inn had, mainly due to the fact that Vladimir was big and scary. Meanwhile Eugene, Rapunzel, Attila and Hook-Hand went to the church to find Father John to get the minor detail of the wedding sorted out.
They found Father John in his study. In truth he was shocked to see them all there and when he asked why there were all here he had been even more shocked to hear that they were all here to see Eugene and Rapunzel get married. Today.
"But Mr Fitzherbert, you haven't even set a date. I cant possibly marry you today! I thought you were going to leave it till after New Years?" Father John said in a shocked tone, looking at the four people who were suddenly all in his study.
"Well, we've had a change of plans and we need to get married as soon as possible," Eugene said, trying to put on his most winning smile. Father John merely looked straight through Eugene and instead turned to Rapunzel.
"Are you pregnant my dear?" He asked. Rapunzel nodded, she didn't know much about religion but she assumed that it was bad to lie to a priest. Father John took off his glasses to massage his brow.
"And you want me to do this today, with no planning, no preparation and no witnesses!"
"We have witnesses," Eugene said gesturing at the two pub thugs in the office.
"And we have two more, they're at the inn," Rapunzel chipped in smiling at Eugene.
"What about a maid of honour or a best man, or the rings?"
"We have rings," Eugene said and comprehension dawned on Father John. They were going to use his parent's rings.
"And a best man or maid of honour?"
"Give me a few minutes and I can go find some. Please Father, we have to leave now and we cant show up in Estrella unmarried and pregnant," Eugene pleaded. Father John understood and agreed that he can perform a small ceremony in about an hour provided that they had everything that they needed. Eugene thanked him before running out of the door to get both Tom and May. They were the only two people he could think of that would be willing to serve as best man and maid of honour on such sort notice while Rapunzel and the pub thugs got everything ready for the ceremony.
According to the pub thugs there were six things Rapunzel needed. The first was a white dress. Rapunzel didn't have a white dress, but she had brought a cream dress with her and she asked Father John if that would do. He assured her it would, so Big-Nose was set the task of retrieving it from her bag. The second was a bouquet. Luckily, each of the pub thugs had gathered a few wild flowers during the journey for Rapunzel to use as a bouquet. The third was something old. Hook-Hand provided this. He gave Rapunzel a small bracelet that he had kept since his childhood. It was a charm bracelet that he had been adding to for over forty years. He said that he always wanted to give it to the daughter he never had, but would be honoured if Rapunzel took it instead. This made a few tears fall from each of their eyes. The fourth was something new. This was provided by Attila. He was seen some very pretty ribbons in one of the shop windows and had bought them for her to wear in her hair. This took a while to sort out, but the end effect was worth it. She was looking radiant. The fifth was something borrowed. Vladimir came to the rescue for this one. He gave her one of his ceramic unicorns to put in her bouquet. The sixth and final thing was something blue and this task could only be filled by Pascal. He decided to turn a rich royal blue for the occasion and sat proudly on her shoulder. The pub thugs and Father John all looked at her with a sweet sigh. She looked like a bride and she was ready to get married.
Eugene had reached the farm in about twenty minutes as a full run. He stormed into the kitchen to find May sewing what could only be something for her baby. He commanded her to stay there while he went out to the farm to find Tom, May told Eugene that he was in the barn feeding the horses. Within half a minute both husband and wife were in the kitchen listening to Eugene as he explained what had happened and what was happening right now.
"So, we need you two to be best man and maid of honour. Will you do it?" Eugene finished looking at the shocked faces of his friends. They both looked at each other before May burst into ecstatic screams of joy, hugging Eugene while crying. Tom settled for a manly pat on the back.
May ran upstairs to find jackets for both men, since they were roughly the same size. She settled on a blue one for her husband and a green one for Eugene. She wanted to change clothes but it sounded like they didn't have much time, so she settled for a putting on a fresh throw with her grandmother's pin, while putting her hair up as bed she could. The men meanwhile were in the barn collecting Eugene's possessions. He really didn't have much, only a few odd items of clothing and his old Flynnigan Rider book. It had barely filled the leather bad that Tom had given him, but Tom decided to help there. He gave Eugene some more clothes and a few other things that might help him. These included a book on fatherhood, some cooking utensils and a small wooden carving that Tom had made Eugene.
Once everything was done all three hopped onto Tom's cart and headed back towards the village. In silence. The church was just the same as they had left it. Since they didn't have much time they obviously couldn't make it as nice as it had been on May and Tom's wedding, but they had tried. Big-Nose and Vladimir were currently tying ribbons around the pews while Attila handed them some flowers to use as boutonnières.
Father John was currently directing the organ player, who happened to be one of the choir boys since they couldn't find the old lady who usually plays it. While Hook-Hand took May's hand leading her to the back of the church where Rapunzel was currently waiting. When May saw her she let out a small squeal. She did look perfect. Completely understated but utterly beautiful. The cream gown was simple and clean but, but had some lovely golden embroidery around the bodice, she was also wearing matching gold shoes. She could see the small necklace that held the flower charm was pulled out and she held Eugene's mother's ring in her hand. May took the ring, after giving her friend a quick hug, and ran down the aisle towards the men who had gathered there. She handed Eugene the ring, straightened both his and Tom's ties before running back up the aisle to Rapunzel.
"So," Father John asked, "Are you ready Eugene?"
"Yes," Eugene said simple. And with that single syllable Father John motioned for the choir boy to start playing. May walked down the aisle first, almost crying and then Rapunzel and Hook-Hand walked down a minute later.
Eugene couldn't keep his eyes off of Rapunzel. She had never looked more beautiful. He was sure he would never remember what she wore that day, but he knew he would never forget the way she looked. Her smile was lighting up the room, while Hook-Hand cried unashamedly as he walked beside her. When they reached the alter he gave Rapunzel's hand to Eugene before patting him on the back and stepping back.
"Dearly Beloved and lizard," Father John started, "WE are gathered here today on incredibly short notice to witness the union of this man and this woman. If anyone knows a reason why these two could not be wed speak now or forever hold your piece." Father John paused for a moment, looking around at the eight people gathered in the church before continuing.
"I thought not. Eugene Fitzherbert do you take… what is your last name dear?"
"I'm not sure. I think my moth… Gothel said her last name was Morse. Will that do?" Father John only shock his head. Rapunzel had told him the full story when she arrived and he didn't want to press any further on such a sore subject.
"Ok then. Eugene Fitzherbert do you take… Rapunzel Morse to be your lawful wedded wife. Do you promise to love her and cherish her, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Eugene said, not taking his eyes off Rapunzel. Her beautiful green eyes were hypnotising.
"And do you Rapunzel Morse take Eugene Fitzherbert to be your lawful wedded husband. Do you promise to lover him and cherish him, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer as long as you both shall live?"
"I will," Rapunzel said softly smiling up at Eugene.
"Do you have the rings?" Father John asked Tom, who nodded while handed them over to him.
"Now repeat after me while placing the ring on the left ring finger. First you Eugene." Father John said holding out the smaller of the two rings for Eugene. Eugene nodded as he took the ring from Father John.
"With this ring as a symbol of my love and affection, I thee wed."
Eugene then turned to Rapunzel, taking her delicate hand in his. He slid the ring smoothly down her soft ring finger.
"With this ring as a symbol of my love and affection I thee wed."
"And now you Rapunzel" Father John said, holding out the larger ring. "With this ring, as a symbol of my love and devotion, I thee wed." Rapunzel repeated the action for Eugene's ring before looking up into his warm eyes.
"With this ring as a symbol of my love and devotion, I thee wed."
"Now with the power vested in me by all mighty God I pronounce that you shall be husband and wife from this day forward. You may now kiss your bride."
Eugene didn't need telling twice before he took Rapunzel in his arms and pressed his lips against hers while everyone in the church cheered them on.
"Hi Mrs Fitzherbert," Eugene said softly.
"Hello Mr Fitzherbert," Rapunzel replied before she captured Eugene's lips again while the people assembled threw there flower petals over the newly wed couple.
right, what do you guys think of my wedding here? i thought id give you all something sweet. also, since they are moving away to somewhere new they have to be here as a married couple, cause they wouldnt be able to keep a low profile as an unmarried pregnant couple. also i want some fluff and romance, since ive given you lots of smut and violence and drama.
as always please rate and review. it makes me happy during this horrid times, not maybe as much as a peck on the check by a tall, dark and handsome random third year, but it makes me very happy!
