This is it (I managed to finish something!) Domo for reading.
He gently took her hand and brought it to his lips. The silk was cold and smooth against his lips.
Sara's dress, flowed behind her, he thought his heart would break at the sight of her. She looked so angelic coming down the aisle. Her eyes held a tint of concern, but it was mostly happiness he had seen.
Now they stood together, holding each other's hand as the priest began the ceremony. His words may have been beautiful, asking the congregation to lend their prayers to this young couple, but it didn't matter to them. They were finally here, about to be untied forever.
The roses, gently hanging from each balcony and bower, didn't mean a thing. The lace, the softly lit candles were nothing if not for the two lovers standing together in front of all the people.
Merlock felt Sara squeeze his hand, and he glanced at her. Through the veil he saw that her eyes were slightly watering. He immediately became concerned but was eased when he saw a slight smile appear on her lips.
They were happy tears. He grasped her hand tighter and smiled. Had she ever looked so happy in all the time he knew her? And he actually caused her to look like this?
In that moment he realized something as he looked at her. He would be the one to make her happy from now on. He would be the one to comfort her. It was him and her from now to forever.
Sara looked away from him and he felt the need to look away as well.
The priest was staring at them.
"Rings?"
Merlock blushed and looked at Flint who stood to his right behind him. The younger man took out a small ring from his vest pocket. He handed it to Merlock with a smile. Merlock nodded and took the small object form his hand.
He looked at the ring briefly before gently lifting Sara's hand.
"Mr. Holmes, you want to say your own vows?"
He nodded at the priest and looked back at Sara.
"My dearest Sara..." he felt his throat go dry and coughed. Once he regained composure he blushed a bit, 'Sorry, usually I'm so good with words, " A little round of laughter passed through the congregation and he proceeded.
"I've known you since you were just a little girl, I've always been protecting you. I always will. I love you Sara. Through all the bad, through the times of doubt, I will continue. My love can only grow for you Sara."
He smoothly slid the ring on her hand and kissed it. He heard a few 'ahhhs' from the crowd and just smiled at his love.
"And now, you Miss. Goodman?"
She took a deep breath and looked behind her at Talon master (sorry, I called her Fable, gomen) The time shifter handed over the wedding band and gave a thumbs up.
She looked and Merlock and took his hand. His top hat made him look all the more dashing.
She bit her lip, "Merlock...I'm not very good with words. I love you. I have for a long time now. And...this...moment...it's beautiful to me. And even if bad times come, I will love you then, because I loved you in this moment." She slipped the ring on his finger.
"Now, if there is anyone of you who object to this union, speak now."
All eyes went to the back of the room where Bindi was sulking in the back.
'What? I don't have anything to say."
Merlock and Sara sighed in relief. They looked at each other.
'You may kiss the bride."
The two stared at each other for a moment, neither moving. They just stared into each other's eyes. It took a bit of provoking to get them going.
'C'mon! Let's see some fireworks!" Sara blushed deeply at her Uncle and finally leaned up to allow Merlock to kiss her. His lips lightly pressed against hers and he wrapped an arm around her waist. With very little effort he lifted her up and held her body close to his.
They could hear the parishioners' cheer and 'whoop'. Merlock and Sara just held onto each other, letting their lips play against the others. Sara's eyes widened a bit when she felt a slight pain on her lips. Merlock gently drew back and shyly licked his lips.
"With great pride, may I be the first to introduce Mr. And Mrs. Merlock Holmes!" The priest shouted behind them.
Merlock swept her up in his arms and jumped down the alter steps. All the guests were up on their feet cheering for the two lovers.
Sara wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and looked at all the friends staring at her and her new husband. Husband. She had a husband now. The smile on her face spread as she felt the cold wind blow on her face.
There had been s snowfall early this morning, leaving piles of snow all around. It glittered like diamonds as the limo pulled up to take them to the reception.
Merlock nodded at the man who opened the door and the two were quickly inside the warm vehicle. In a matter of seconds they were off.
Sara looked out the rear window, Uncle Bernie, Tony, Flint; all her friends were waving to them from the doorway of the church. She smiled and turned to look at her new husband.
His face was within half a foot of hers. He quickly leaned down and planted a soft kiss on her lips. She smiled and pulled him closer and felt him start to kiss around her mouth, then down her cheek, then kiss her neck.
"Merlock!"
"Sara!" he yelled mocking her. She vaguely heard the front window go up.
There is going to be a honeymoon for this sort of thing you know."
He smiled and tackled her with another bout of kisses. "Do I really have to wait?"
Sara nodded and embraced her new husband.
"Merlock." She smiled, 'We're married."
He nodded and held her to his chest. "Yes, and I'm never gonna loose you."
She nuzzled his chest; "You're mine until the day that I die." She felt him stiffen and leaned back to look at his face.
"Are you all right darling?"
His face contorted and then he looked down at her, "My darling Sara," he pushed a strand of hair away from her face, "I've done something...and I should have asked you."
"What did you do?"
She felt him grasp her upper arms. "Remember back to the kiss. Our first kiss as man and wife. You felt a pain on your lip."
"Yes...you really should watch those fangs of yours."
"No Sara...it was intentional."
She looked at him quizzically. "You mean you meant to bite me?"
He nodded. He puts a hand to the back of her neck and leaned down over her lips. " Darling...you know I am a vampire..."
"Yes, you told me that many years ago. But you know that's all right with me."
"Yes, I know that. But...how do you feel about yourself being one?"
Sara pulled away from him gently. A scared look on her face. "You mean...when you kissed me...you?"
"You are what a am now, Sara." He pulled her back to himself. "I know I should have asked you first."
Sara leaned up and closed her mouth around his.
"Don't worry about it darling. You did it, and it can't be undone. Don't worry. I still love you. I just get to have more time with you know."
Merlock smiled and wrapped both arms tightly around her. " I love you Sara."
"And I love you. My dear Mr. Holmes."
I actually finished something! Did ya like it? Hope so! Love you guys for reading!
