Author's note:
Hello to all the new followers and a great thanks to all of you who took their time to review- I love it!
For those who are interested, Emma's wedding dress is inspired by Jennifer Morrison's dress from the Screen Actors Guild Awards 2009. She looks gorgeous in it!
Apparently Germany was lucky yesterday! Finale!
27 weeks pregnant
Only one week to go and then she will no longer be a Swan, or at least her last name will change. She thought about keeping it or to use a compound name but she settled on Jones after all.
It wouldn't feel complete if she has another name than Killian or Liam and her pirate broke through her last restrains by stating:
"I don't care about your last name. You will always be my swan."
Sometimes he was really too cheesy but that was only one of his characteristics she comes to love.
Her mother has outdone herself by preparing the small wedding without the town noticing.
They will marry on a boat, as of Killian's definition it is too small to be called a ship, to honour the pirate's passion.
Blue will take their vows and will be the magistrate to wed them. On the boat will only be her parents with Neal, Henry, Regina, Robin and Roland as well as Ruby and Granny who will cook for them all after the wedding.
The discussion of who will be the best man and bridesmaid took some time. At first Killian thought of asking her dad, but she declines his first choice. Although she is aware, that her future husband and her father have bonded and became best mates she still finds it cross to take him as his best man.
Yes, she and her mother were also rather closely and have found a great balance between a mother-daughter- and girlfriend relationship but they are her parents and they're at the wedding at any case.
Additionally she wanted to give Ruby some credit. She was in fact her godmother but she didn't get the chance to actually be one to her despite the fact, that she and Granny helped her immense back in the past and so it would be unfair to take her dad when she didn't take her mother. He settled on his second best mate Robin who was new to the procedures of a modern wedding but he was intrigued about some modern customs on which he was happy to oblige.
He did take his task rather serious and helped them as good as he could. He even went with Killian to buy an outfit for the wedding which resulted in some ridiculous scenes at the local mall, lucky for her, Henry was with them too and so she was told every little detail of this shopping trip. Killian has learnt to keep things for himself and so he was really good at disguising the actual search of an outfit as something absolutely different when for the high expected royal wedding of the town's savior and pirate.
"Mom you should have seen them, Killian was so not for wearing a suit and Robin insisted that he at least try one and he always says that Killian doesn't want to look like an average pirate on the royal brunch, really it was so funny and I'm not sure if no one catches that he actually was looking for a wedding suit. By the way, I think you will love the outfit which he picked" Henry winks at her.
They were currently outside of Storybrooke in a shop for brides because there was no way she could disguise buying a wedding dress as something else.
"Robin is really dedicated to his job as best man." Henry continues while she is back in the cabin, trying on a dress.
"You should thank him afterwards, because I honestly believe that Killian would wear his pirate garb at the wedding."
"We'll see. Regina told me that he is also dedicated to plan Killian's bachelor party and I'm not sure if this is such a great idea and if I'm thankful after this as well." She hears her son snicker through the curtain.
"And don't even think that you can go too, as far as I'm informed they're planning on invading the Rabbit Hole and drink lots and lots of alcohol as if Killian didn't drink enough of this in his last 300 and more years."
"Mom" Ups, she just forgot that she isn't in Storybrooke and giggles at the raised eyebrow of the shop assistant, who is currently helping her with the dress.
"You can look now in the mirror, Miss" She turns around and is breathless. This is it! This is the dress in which she will become Mrs. Jones.
She opens the curtains and steps forward awaiting the reaction of her son.
"Mom" Henry's mouth is still open" You look amazing!"
She spins around and the long skirt of the dress is flowing. It's nothing special but it feels special for her. The colour settles in bright beige. Its upper part is a strapless top with golden embroidery at the collar. The dress itself is flowing around her body, caressing her baby-bump and her body at the right places. The material seems to be silk.
"Do you want to try a veil as well?"
"Yes mom, please!" Henry pleads.
She nods and soon after a long veil is placed in her hair.
"Oh mom, you look so beautiful. Grams will love it and Killian won't know what hit him when he will see you."
She is convinced and happy, because although she never really believed in the concept of a marriage, hello, foster kid and so on, she knows in her heart that this is the right dress to marry the right man.
And Henry was right. Her mother bursts out in tears when Emma shows her the dress they chose.
"It's so gorgeous, Emma, you really look like a princess in this dress. And it's amazing how you still look so non-pregnant in it."
"Yes, I was surprised too, but I'm also lucky. I just gained 10 pounds until now, Whale was really pleased with us at the last appointment. Right Liam?" She softly caresses her belly and earns a kick at the place where her hand touches it.
"Liam, you still don't want to put Leopold somewhere in?" Emma starts to laugh "No it will be Liam Jones, perhaps he will get the middle-name after his godfather who isn't yet chosen."
"It's ok, Emma, I was just joking" Right mom, don't forget my lie-detector Emma just thinks.
"By the way, the little one is really doing well and as it seems he is already in the right position to be birthed. Hopefully he stays so, don't like the thought of a c-section too much."
Emma likes to be in control and being intoxicated while somebody cuts through her body isn't the nicest imagination she has. Of course, giving birth is a lot of pain, but she did it with Henry, she will be able to do it with Liam as well.
"Did David already tell you?" "No, what should he have told me" She looks curious at Mary-Margaret.
"Today's the day. The boys will get their night off." She rolls her eyes. "If anything happens to Killian, I will take Robin's head."
"Nobody will take the head from my outlaw except myself" Suddenly Regina appeared in the middle of the room.
"Jesus, Regina, couldn't you use the door like normal people do, preferably knocking?" her mother rants at her step-mother.
"It's much funnier this way." She turns to Emma and takes her in. "You look good, Miss Swan"
"Thanks and to what do we have the pleasure of your appearance?"
Regina suddenly looks a little bit uncomfortable.
"Ruby told me to be here at 7"
Before Emma can say anything a knock on the door is heard.
As Mary-Margret opens it Ruby is in front of it, waving with some bags.
"Bachelorette party!" She screams and Emma just sighs. How should she party pregnant?
"I thought if the boys have fun, the girls should have as well and because of the pregnant status of the woman in question I thought we could do some wellness, alcohol-free cocktails and some girlie movies."
It still was awkward with Regina around at first as Ruby and her mom were best friends but it actually was fun hanging out with the girls.
After watching the Princess Bride ("Really do they even know how ridiculous this is" sassy comment by Regina) suddenly moans were heard in the apartment.
Emma is perplex but soon Ruby takes out her phone and greets somebody.
"Hey babe" pause "really, are you sure" pause and she starts to giggle.
"Cool, see you soon, bye"
The other three women just stare at her in disbelief.
"This was Whale, he says that we have to go to the Rabbit Hole. It seems that your men have started quite the party there and he thought that we want to see it."
"Since then are you and Whale a thing?" Her mother seems a little annoyed.
"Oh you know how he is, always the women's man, why don't I take the opportunity of his knowledge and have some fun. I remember someone told me that in this realm you can have that without directly being betrothed or something like that." She winks at Emma who blushes.
"But I thought we make something cozy, pregnant-fitting." Emma interjects.
"Oh don't wine like a baby" Regina waves her hand and soon all four women are clothed in party outfits.
"Let's go"
As they arrived at the bar, there is already heard loud music, especially when the door opens.
They enter it and Emma has never seen so many people in this drinking hole ever. Most of the patrons were surprisingly women who were cheering enthusiastically at the stage.
Since when is there any live performance at the Rabbit Hole, Emma wonders then the beginning of Mr. Brightside from the Killers starts to play and WHAT THE FUCK!
She looks from the stage back to her mom and Regina. Both wearing the same expression on their face as her, mouth dropped open and disbelief in the look.
Ruby just squeals and is already running in front of the stage and there on this stage her men can be found.
All three shirtless, performing the song as some kind of boy-group where Killian is the lead-singer and her dad and Robin the background.
Where the hell did Killian even know the song? But good god, he is fantastic. He moves over the stage like he owns it and Robin and her dad were not so bad as well.
"Are they for real" She asks her mom.
"To be honest I've never ever seen him like this. What did they drink?"
Regina is still at a loss for words.
"Oh they're so hot, do you think the singer will come home with me" Emma can't believe it, some ugly (ok perhaps not soooo ugly) chick is about to hit on her pirate-HER PIRATE!
"Sorry bitch, this one is taken!" She has enough and stalks in direction of the stage, she isn't even aware, that Killian has already spotted her. He is currently singing the chorus
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
And makes his way to her. He can't even finish his song because she is kissing him like her life depends on it, then she takes the microphone and tells all the women in the bar:
"HE IS MINE AND DON'T YOU DARE TO EVEN TOUCH HIM"
Her voice has somehow sobers up David and Robin who retreat the stage as well in search of their shirts. Killian, still shirtless, turns to her and slurs.
"Just so you know Swan, I really like this" hicks" Bachelor party thing didn't have so much fun with the guys in a long time!"
He is a little unsteady on his feet. "But you're the one for me" and steals back the microphone and shouts:
"I LOVE EMMA SWAN!"
She just takes his hand and pulls him with her.
"Where is your shirt, Hook?"
"Oh back to Hook. Are you angry? But I love you!" He pouts at her, damn why is he so drunk?
He looks at her, his eyes are full of love and awe.
"I love you and I can't wait to call you my wife soon and I love you for carrying my child. God above I love you!"
He tries to kiss her again, but he smells like a whole liquor shop and she really doesn't want to kiss him again in this status.
"Swan, I loooove you" Oh god no, now he is singing again.
"What the hell did you drink? I thought 300 years of experience should give you a head-start"
She looks over at the other two men who currently get their earful from their women.
"Oh, Swan you beautiful, gorgeous lass. I didn't drink any alcohol" he smiles at her and yep he is definitely drunk as hell.
"Pray tell, what did you drink?"
"They call it tea. Long Island Iced Tea. It tastes fantastic"
She just rolls her eyes and finally finds his shirt.
"Come on, lets get you home pirate, I think it's the safest place to be right now"
She pulls him with her and earns a hit on her butt.
"Can't wait to be home Swan, and have my wicked way with you" He slurs in her ear.
"Dream on buddy and now come"
They need a lot of time to arrive at their house and the pirate definitely doesn't have his wicked way with her because he falls dead to the bed.
The next morning
"Swan, Swan" the pirate's miserable voice is heard down at the kitchen.
"Yes, Baby" she can't help herself to speak the last word in the sweetest way possible.
"I'm dying" is the answer.
"Serves you right" she giggles as she enters the bedroom.
"Be honest with me. Yesterday that was no tea, was it?"
"No, but I think, this will help" She places a glass of water and some aspirins on the bedside-table.
He takes them and closes his eyes. A few moments later she hears him groan and rushes back to the bedroom.
As she enters it, he is already smirking at her.
"I see, they did help" She smiles and sits down beside him.
"You're really sure, that this realm doesn't have any special magic?"
"Yes, I'm sure, but I do!" Smiling she flicks her fingers and her pirate is naked.
"Now, that you're feeling better I come back to your promise from last night" She flicks her fingers a second time and is also naked.
"Have your wicked way with me, Captain!"
