Only one week left! That's crazy. Anywho, I realized that I'm a day off (must have skipped a day and forgot to make it up. I also suck at math so yeah) so I'll be updating two at some point to make up for lost time.

This chapter is for LoveHurts with the prompt: "I would love to see Regina being Emma's maid of honor or not being at the wedding at all and then interrupting it the same way she interrupted Snow and David's wedding."

Thank you guys so much for continuing to read, and let's start this last week off right!

"You don't really have to go through with this," Regina said, watching Emma as she studied herself carefully in the mirror. "Pleasing your parents and the town isn't everything."

"But it is," Emma said. "There's a crazy man out there who wants to help his evil mother kill me. This town needs some beacon of hope, and Hook wants to marry me."

Regina sighed. "You're going to regret this for the rest of your life."

"I'll still have you," Emma said.

"You think that Hook will let me near you?" Regina asked. "He knows that there's something going on between us behind closed doors."

"He won't control me," Emma protested. "I can see and spend time with whoever I want to. I'm not his pet."

"No, but you will be his wife," Regina said. "And like it or not, that comes with a vow. I won't be made into that person that you cheat on your husband with. This town does not need another reason to hate me."

Emma sighed before carefully sitting down. "I don't know what to do. I can't call everything off. But I don't love Hook. I love you."

"I know," Regina said softly. "It's your choice to make. I won't make it for you."

Several seconds passed in silence before the door opened and David stuck his head in. "Are you ready to go? Everyone else is set up and Hook is starting to get anxious."

"I'll be out in a second," Emma said, standing back up. David looked back and forth between her and Regina before nodding and closing the door. Emma had no doubt that he was standing outside of the door, still listening.

"Will you be there?" Emma asked. "At the ceremony I mean."

Regina shook her head. "I can't sit there and watch the woman I love marry someone else. I wish you the happiest of marriages." Before Emma could say anything, Regina had poofed away.

"What are you doing?" Zelena asked, storming into Regina's office. "Why are you here and not at the wedding?"

"I suppose I could ask you the same question," Regina said, setting down her pen. "I'm getting work done. What's your excuse?"

"I came to find you," Zelena said. "You need to stop this wedding before it happens."

Regina looked at Zelena in confusion. "And you care because?"

Zelena rolled her eyes. "Because as much as we've disagreed before, you have your chance at a happy ending and you're letting it get away. So what if she's marrying Hook. There's an easy solution."

"Stopping the wedding?" Regina asked. "You can't be serious. This is the choice that Emma made. I can't change her mind."

"She's at the altar right now, frozen in place," Zelena said. "When I left, she was making up her vow on the spot to make the ceremony take longer. She wants you to save her."

"And how do you propose I do that?" Regina asked. "Just waltz in and declare my love?"

Zelena smirked. "I've read the book. You know how to crash a wedding."

Regina laughed. "Alright. Let's go crash a wedding."

"And even though we've had our, um, hardships in the past," Emma said. "I'm so grateful to be standing up here right now. With the man I love, by my side. Well, not really by my side because you're in front of me, but you know what I mean."

"Emma," Hook said. "What are you doing?"

"I wanted to make my vow more personal," Emma said. "Obviously it's not going very well."

"Not at all," Hook agreed. "Can we continue on with the ceremony now, or do you have more to add?"

Emma bit her lip and looked out at the people gathered. Zelena had seen the pleading in her eyes and had poofed away, most likely to get Regina. Regina had been right. She couldn't go through with this.

"Emma?" Hook asked. "Are you okay? You keep staring off into space."

"I'm fine," Emma said, looking back at him and giving him a reassuring smile. "Just nervous is all. We can continue."

Hook nodded, but before the ceremony could continue the doors to the church crashed open, revealing Regina on the other side.

Everyone gasped at the grand entrance, but no one moved as Regina walked up the aisle to where Hook and Emma stood. Emma smiled at her entrance, relieved that she was finally here.

Regina smiled. "Sorry I'm late."

Emma laughed, knowing the line from her parent's wedding all those years ago. She let go of Hook's hands before running down and hugging Regina tightly, not caring what anyone in the town thought.

"Emma, what in the bloody hell are you doing?" Hook asked.

"I can't marry you," Emma said, letting go of Regina to look at Hook. "I don't love you, and marrying you would only be torture. The truth is, I was only with you to make my parents and the town happy in this dark time. I don't love you. I love Regina."

Some people gasped, while others exchanged smiles. Some even exchanged money. "I can't believe this," Hook said.

"I'm sorry," Emma said quietly. "But I can't be with you. Or be your wife. It's not fair to you, or me, or Regina. We'll all be happier this way."

Everyone stood frozen as Emma and Regina walked out of the church and poofed away.

"I can't believe I just did that," Emma said. "I just left my own wedding."

"You know, you could still get married today," Regina said. "City hall has the marriage certificates. And you just so happen to be with the mayor."

"Madame Mayor are you suggesting we elope?" Emma asked, smirking.

Regina smiled. "Perhaps."

Emma reached out, looping her arm through Regina's. "I'm already dressed for the part. What are we waiting for?"
