Okay guys, this is it. The last chapter to Please Don't Leave Me. This chapter only has a few scenes with dialogue, most of it; especially the time jumping, is description.
I can't say I cried writing this, but I was rather sad. Not because it's a sad chapter but because it's the last one!
I apologise if I miss a few things out on the first few scene's, I've never been to a wedding and based most of it of films I've seen and things I found on Google.
All grammar and spelling mistakes and mine

It's chaos. The commotion is horrendous as people scurry around, grabbing more and more makeup to put on her face. Hands bat in and out of view as her hair is tugged curled and her make-up is caked onto her face. A big puff of blusher blows into her face, causing her to cough and swat at the pink cloud, getting it out of her view and her lungs.
"Ems you're not sick are you? You can't be sick on today of all days!" Effy says as she pushes past the make-up artists and hair stylists.
"Effy" Emily coughs "I'm fine, the blusher just went down my throat" Effy visibly relaxes at Emily's words, relief washing over the taller girl.
Emily hisses slightly when one of the hairstylists pull to hard on her hair. Do they need to be so rough? She's not a fricken Amazon woman; her hair doesn't have so many knots in that they have to literally pull them out with a digger.
"I don't understand why I needed so many people" Emily says, gesturing to the room of twenty people, ten hair dressers, five makeup artists and five stylists.
"You need to be absolutely perfect for your wedding. You only get married once you know" Effy says with a smug smile, sitting down in the chair next to Emily, letting the stylists start on her bridesmaid hair.
"Actually you don't, you can get married multiple times as long as you divorce from your other wives" Emily says, her hand moving back when the stylist tugs her back and starts to brush some of her hair back.
"Yeah but Emily, we all know you'll only get married once" Effy informs, gesturing to Cook and JJ who are letting two girls sort out their suits.
"Effs right Emilio" Cook says, sauntering over to the two girls, his hair combed back perfectly and a sleek, black three piece suit adorning his body "You and Naomikins are in it 'till the end"
"How is she doing anyway? Katie not biting her head off yet?" Emily asks, shutting her eyes closed to allow one of the artists to put eyeliner on.
"Pandora informed me that she is doing well and she looks really beautiful" JJ says, looking down at his watch "We have approximately two hours until we need to get you to the church"
"Two hours?" Emily asks in shock.
"Don't worry Madame Fitch; your hair is finally done!" Claude the head French hair stylist says, spinning Emily round to face the mirror "Voila!"
Claude and his team of stylists had pinned back Emily's hair in elegant waves, held back by ten diamonds strategically placed around her head. They styled her fringe to lie across her forehead and let a few strands of hair fall round the side of her face, curled perfectly to show off her face shape.
The makeup team gave Emily a natural look. Her foundation matches her skin tone almost perfectly, her blusher is a natural shade of pink, giving her a beautiful flushed look. Her eyes are donned with a light use of eyeliner,enough to accentuate her eyes a little, but not so much that all you see is black eyeliner.
All in all, Emily looked beautiful.
"Wow, Ems you look proper fit" Cook says, earning a light swat from Effy who's also finished with her hair and makeup. Her dark hair is put up in a simple bun, her bangs are pulled back to show off her face. Her makeup is elegant and simple enough that it doesn't take any attention away from Emily.
"Thank you Claude" Emily says, standing up from her chair.
Claude takes Emily's hand and kisses the back of it "It was my pleasure. Have a lovely wedding" he says before him and his team leave the room, along with the makeup stylists.
Emily smiles then walks over to the stylists "Ah Emily, you look beautiful" Emily's Italian friend Gustav who is also the head stylist for her dress. Emily met him a few years ago before she went to work for Effy and Freddie. They both worked at the same retail store, he would rant about how one day he'll become his own designer and own his own bridal store. Emily found out a few years later that he had indeed done so.
"Thank you Gustav" Emily says.
"Come, come, we must get you ready" he says, guiding her to the changing area "Your sister informed me that you wanted something simple yet elegant no? I designed the perfect one! You will look absolutely stunning that everyone's eyes will be trained on you and only you. Your wife-to be also." Gustav explains, pacing shoes and accessories to his stylists, watching as they zip in and out of the room.
After an hour of being primped and pulled about, Emily finally emerges from the area. She smiles when she sees tears in Gustav's eyes and huge smiles on Effy, JJ's and Cook's faces. She turns around to face the mirror and gasps.
It's a pearl white, long, strapless dress. It falls over her legs and trails a few inches behind her, the silky material clings to her body, accentuating her curves. At the folds that start at her hip then flow out across her torso are twinkling diamond studs following the path. To match the diamonds on her dress and her engagement ring, Gustav also gave her a diamond bracelet on her left hand.
"Beautiful, I can't believe it!" Gustav says through his tears "It's even better than I imagined. Give me a moment" he says, turning round and holding back his happy sobs.
Effy smiles and steps forward "You look so elegant Ems"
Emily smiles "Thanks"
JJ's watch beeps, causing everyone to look over at him. He blushes then quickly switches it off "It's time"
Emily nods and takes a deep breath. This is it.
Emily stands at the altar next to Cook, her best man with Effy and JJ standing in a diagonal line behind them. She smiles when she sees Grandma Fitch and the rest of her family-bare her mum. They all smile and wave, tissues at the ready.
Emily takes a deep breath through her nose when music starts to play and Luce enters the chapel in a blue bridesmaid dress similar to Effy's. Katie follows soon after, a great big smile on her face as they both make their way up to stand opposite Emily, Effy, JJ and Cook. Panda then bounces in, the only bridesmaid to have an usher on her arm-Thomas.
Once they arrive, the bridal march starts. Every stands and turns to look, Emily closes her eyes and takes a massive breath, her nerves starting to overtake her senses. She can't believe this is happening. She's about to marry the love of her life.
She opens her eyes when there are sounds of soft gasps filling the chapel. She looks over and her heart pumps wildly in her chest. Her mouth goes dry and a huge smile over takes her face.
Naomi looks gorgeous. Her hair is in a similar style to Emily's except all of her hair is pinned back, her dress is pearl white like Emily's but ends at her knees. She also has shoulder straps that join in the middle, showing a little cleavage, but only enough to still make her look elegant and poised. There are no diamonds in her hair on her dress; instead she has a beautiful blue stone necklace around her neck, standing out against the pale white.
Her makeup is flawless. A nice, dark pink blush covers her cheeks whilst thick black eye liner makes her eyes look brighter and even more striking than normal. Her lips have a gentle pink lip gloss on them and are pulled up into a bashful smile at the looks she's gaining. But mainly the look of love and awe she can see on Emily's beautiful face as she makes her way up the altar, her mother holding onto her arm.
Gina hands Naomi's hand to Emily, who gladly accepts it and thanks Gina. Emily mouths a simple 'Hi' to Naomi, whom does it back as they turn to face the Priest.
"Ladies and Gentleman we are gathered here today to witness the holy matrimony of Emily Fitch and Naomi Campbell..." He says, diving right into the ceremony.
The whole way through, neither Emily nor Naomi take their eyes off of each other, their smiles still in place as happiness waves through them. Today is the best day of their lives.
"I believe you two have vows for each other" he says "Emily, if you may"
Emily nods and takes the slip of paper Cook hands her "Naomi, from the first day I met you I knew you were different. I knew you wouldn't take any of my crap and that you wouldn't be fooled by my tough exterior. This scared me very much as there has only been one other person in my life who was able to break through my walls. But, after a stupid bet I made with Cook, I was able to get to know you and see you as the amazing woman you are today. I never regret making the bet as if I didn't, I wouldn't have known you and we wouldn't be standing here today. I love you so much Naomi, I love you more than cheese, which everyone knows is nearly impossible as I love cheese" a chorus of teary laughter fills the church.
Emily sniffs and wipes at her eyes as the tears begin to fall. She looks up and sees Naomi in the same state "When my father died, you were there for me, even when I wasn't there for you. For that, I am eternity grateful and will forever protect you. Naomi, you are the Whinnie to my Pooh, you are the Peanut to my butter, you are my Simba to my Nala. You are my world, my light and my best friend. I will love you forever and always"
Naomi sniffs and bites her lip as Katie gives her a piece of paper. She looks down at it then shakes her head and hands it back to Katie "Emily, after what you just said, I don't think I'll be able to follow up. But I will say this: Whilst you're protecting me, I will also be protecting you. I will always be there to help you open your jar of peanut butter" everyone laughs, Emily laughs a watery laugh, wiping at her eyes "I will always be there to hold you when you need me and I will always be there, wherever I am to run and grab you some toilet paper when you run out" They all laugh again and Emily blushes "No matter what, I will be here. I love you Emily. You are my everything and I will love you forever and always"
They chuckle when the Priest wipes at his eyes "Who has the rings?" he asks. Luce steps forward and hands them to Emily and Naomi, wiping at her eyes and smiling at the two of them. Emily takes Naomi's left hand in her left, holding the ring in her right hand.
Emily smiles at Naomi and places the ring onto Naomi's finger, struggling slightly, her hand shaking as she does so. Naomi does the same, laughing when the ring gets stuck and she has to push harder to get it onto Emily's finger.
"Do you, Emily Maria Fitch take the Naomi Tyra Campbell, for your lawful wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?" The priest asks.
"I do" Emily says, her voice laced with happy tears. In the corner of her eyes she sees Cook sob and wipe at his eyes.
"And do you, Naomi Tyra Campbell take the Emily Maria Fitch, for your lawful wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do"
"By the power vested in me I now pronounce you Wife and Wife. You may kiss the Bride" He says, smiling at the two happy women.
Immediately, both Emily and Naomi move into each other, their lips attaching joining together after 24 hours of being apart. Cheers fill the church as they kiss their lips and tongues massaging each others. Cook whistles and whoops, trying to clap the loudest having given up on wiping away his tears.
" I love you" Emily whispers as they pull away.
"I love you too" Naomi smiles "Ready to take this lot on?"
"More than ever"
Emily and Naomi sit at their table, their hands joined together as they smiles to each other. Love is evident between them and anyone who can't see it is an idiot.
They break away from their staring contest when Cook stands up and clanks his knife against his glass "All right, as Best Man I'm supposed to give you a long winded speech on how awesome these to lovebirds are together. Now I'm Cook, so I ain't going to do that" Every one laughs.
"What I will say is this: Emilio, we've had our ups and downs but we always came out on top, you and me against the world. Then, that fine piece of Blonde next to her came into our lives and suddenly, it wasn't Ems and I against the world. It was and still is Ems and Naoms against the world. I was just part of the cavalry in the back. I promise you two that for as long as we all live, I will always be your cavalry at the back, I will always have your backs. I love you both. To Ems and Naomikins!" he holds up his glass in a toast to the two women.
Everyone follows his lead, shouting "To Emily and Naomi!"
Katie then stands up "Not long winded my arse" she says "Now as Maid of Honour, it's my duty to give a speech. Ems, when you first told me you were gay, I wasn't sad or angry that you were, I was sad that you may never find someone to love you and I was angry at the prejudice you will gain in life for being you. But I was proven wrong. You did find someone who loves you in a way I can't. Naomi, you better looking after my little sis because if you don't, you'll have me to deal with. But also, thank you so much for loving her and bringing back the Ems I knew and loved."
Everyone claps as she sits back down, until Cook starts to chant speech at Emily making everyone else join in, hands slamming down onto tables to rouse her up. Sighing, Emily stands, her champagne glass in hand and clears her throat.
"Well, I'm not really prepared for this but here goes. There is four people in my life that I would like to thank, because without them, I would not be here today. Cook, thank you for always being there for me, for saving me from others and from myself. Not only did you save me once, you saved me twice and you also saved my relationship. Luce, you made me realise that I need to fight for those who make me happy. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be sitting here today with this lovely woman" she gestures down to Naomi "As my Wife. Also, I would like to thank Gina Campbell" she says, gesturing over to Gina. "Because if not for you and your one night stands, I would not have had the pleasure of meeting your daughter and falling in love with her. And finally" she turns to Naomi "My Wife. Mrs Campbell-Fitch. I thank you for loving me, for seeing past all my bullshit, for pushing me to be who I really am and not who I was pretending to be. You made me who I am today. I love you baby." She says, leaning down to press a kiss to Naomi's cheek, a chorus of 'Awws' fill the venue.
They all clap when Emily sits down, giving the happy couple three cheers in celebration before the food arrives.
"Ladies and Gentlemen if you could stand aside to let the newlyweds have their first dance" The DJ asks, waiting for Emily and Naomi to step out onto the dance floor.
Naomi's eyes brighten up when the first few bars of 'Only Exception' plays through the hall. Emily smiles and pulls her closer, spinning them around the dance floor with unknown fluidity.
"Did you pick this?" Naomi asks, not remembering her and Emily even asking for a song to play as they danced.
Emily nods and starts to sway them side to side "Yeah. It was the first song I sang to you" she spins Naomi out of her arms then pulls her back in.
"You sang it to me?"
Chuckling, Emily places a kiss to Naomi's neck "Yes, how did you not guess I did? Little did I know though, I meant every word I sang that day"
Naomi looks up at Emily "Really?"
"Really. Uncle Keith told me I might, but I was in denial. But looking back, I see now that I did mean every word and it fit my situation perfectly. I swore that after Ben I would never settle down with someone and have a family with them. Look at me now, look at us now. I have never been happier than I am now"
Naomi presses her lips to Emily's smiling into the kiss "How did I get so lucky?" she asks once they pull away.
"You didn't, I did" Emily whispers as they continue to dance along the floor.
"I love you Mrs Fitch-Campbell"
"I love you more, Mrs Campbell-Fitch." Emily replies.
"May I cut in?" James asks, holding his hand out to Emily. Naomi smiles and nods, as soon as she steps away, she swept into a dance with her mother.
James moves in and takes hold of Emily's hand and waist "You look beautiful big sis" he says.
Emily smiles at him "Thank you James. Thank you for coming as well, I know it wouldn't have settled well with Mum"
"Screw her. You're my sister and I want to support you on your marriage to your fucking fit Wife." Emily laughs and hits his arm "She really makes you happy doesn't she?" he asks as he starts to move them around the dance floor.
"Yeah, she does" Emily says, glancing over at Naomi who's laughing at something her Mum said.
James smiles at his older sister. He missed her during the past few years. It wasn't the same when he would steal her porn magazines as there was no one to fight him and stop him from doing so. They weren't able to discuss who was hot or not on the TV or argue over who's fitter: Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston.
"Dad would be so proud of you" he says "He would've loved to have been here, seen you so happy."
Emily's bottom lip shakes and she rests her head on her-now, taller eighteen year old-brother's shoulder "I miss him James."
"I miss him to Emsy. But he is here and he's looking down on you know with such pride and joy that I can feel it" He whispers into his softly crying sisters hair.
"Thank you" she says back horsely "He'd be proud of you too, you know" she says, moving her head form his shoulder.
"I know. He's proud of all of us"
2012-2020
Over the last eight years, a lot changed for Naomi and Emily. After about one year of living as newlyweds living with their single friend, they realised that they need to get their own place, especially once the baby topic was brought up. After months of searching and fighting, they finally found the perfect home.
It's a house in Kensington, opposite a nice quaint park for picnics. Inside the house consisted of a dining room donned with a nice mahogany dining table with matching chairs, a sitting room with two leather settee's: one a two seater, the other a three seater and a TV. The kitchen is nice and large, marble counter tops and a fridge freezer. Naomi loved it. It also had three bedrooms and a study.
Around about their year and a half anniversary mark, Emily remembered one of Naomi's confessions. She always wanted to be a chef and own her own American style diner and she also had a master's degree in cooking as well as maths. So, with all the money Emily's forking in from the company, she brought Naomi a diner, got it done up, brought her a staff and gave it to her for their two year anniversary present and named it Campbell's Diner. If the whole night of glorious sex and orgasm after orgasm didn't show Emily that Naomi loved it, she doesn't know what did.
So a few months after, Naomi quit her job at the company and started cooking in her own business. The restraunt went off to a great start, especially when Emily and Luce came up with a new cooking toy which linked to Campbell's Diner and the advert featured the Diner.
In their third year, Cook proposed to Effy and they moved in together. Katie got married to her boyfriend Mark that she met when she went to Southampton on a shopping trip. Naomi and Emily had a few arguments, mainly over how they hardly see each other-Naomi blaming it on Emily and the company, Emily blaming it on the Diner. Luckily, Effy stepped in, as well as Naomi's Sous-chef Andrew and said that they'll take care of everything one week each month and within that week, Emily and Naomi will spend the whole time together-abroad or at home.
After their fourth year together, Emily and Effy's company became the most powerful toy company in the whole of the UK with more warehouses opening up all over. Effy and Cook finally got married, Luce gained a girlfriend and Katie had her first child with Mark, baby Tyler. Emily and Naomi decided to have a child together, Emily offering to have their first child. They used the IVF in early February, the donor had blue eyes similar to Naomi. Emily refused to not use a donor who had similar qualities to Naomi.
On the third of November 2016 baby Jess was born and she was a little bundle of joy. She had big, round, blue eyes like her Mumma and thick brunette head of hair like Mummy and her Mummy's cute button nose. She was their pride and joy.
In their sixth year together, they decided to have another child together. This time Naomi offered to have them and they chose a donor with similar looks to Emily. When Naomi jokingly suggested James as their donor, Emily almost threw a book at her. It was a funny thought for Naomi, but a nightmare for Emily as she just thought of their child walking round talking about virgina's and all sorts of things her twerp of a little brother used to say.
On the twenty fifth of May-the same birthday as Emily's Dad-2018, little Rob was born, named after Rob Fitch of course. He was bald but had the same brown eyes as Emily's, thanks to the donor. Every told them how he looked like Rob. The thought made Emily swell with pride because she knew, if little Rob became half of what her Father was then he'd be a great man.
The seventh year is almost their best year together. They went on family holidays with Jess and Rob, they even did a huge family holiday with Katie, Mark and Tyler and Effy, Cook and their son Jack. It was chaotic but nonetheless eventful. Katie got stuck in mud when they stayed in Wales, Cook lost his welly boot, three year old Tyler and two year old Jess both got extremely muddy, Emily cracked her head open when they went rock climbing and she fell off the equipment and they almost lost Rob in the ball pit at a restraunt they went to.
Now it's their eighth year and things couldn't be any better.
November 2020
"Emily, everyone's waiting for you in the living room, can you stop working for a couple of hours and celebrate Jess's fourth birthday with us?" Naomi asks from the office doorway, little Rob resting on her hip with a dummy hanging in his mouth.
Emily looks up from her computer "What makes you think I was working?" Emily asks, smiling and taking off her glasses.
Naomi rolls her eyes and puts Rob down, allowing him to waddle over to Emily. Emily smiles down at him and picks him up, placing him on her lap. "Emily, we've been together for ten years, I know that look on your face" Naomi says, walking round the desk to stare at the computer screen.
"Or maybe I don't" she says after a few moments "What's this?" Naomi asks, pointing to the Disney Land Florida website.
"What does it look like? I'm booking us a special holiday to go to Disney Land for Christmas. They'll both love it" Emily replies, tickling Rob and smiling when little noises of laughter leave his mouth.
"You mean you'll love it?" Naomi asks, raising an eyebrow at her wife.
Emily blushes "Well if I happen to love it then that's just an extra bonus. I wanted to surprise you guys" she says.
"We've been married Eight years and you still cease to amaze me" Naomi mumbles, placing a kiss to Emily's head. "Come on, Cook is getting irritated as he wants to have some cake" Naomi says, picking up Rob "Let's go get some cake shall we Mr Bubbles?" Naomi asks her son as she walks out of the office.
Emily smiles and looks down at her hands. She sees her father's ring and gently runs her fingers over the design, memories of him flooding back to her. The ring sticks out like a sore thumb compared to her two other rings. Her father's protection concealed in a metal ring.
"Mummy! We're waiting!" The sound of a happy Jess shouts through the house.
Emily sighs and clicks the save button on the holiday, leaving it until later. She looks back down at her hands and gently clasps Rob's ring between her fingers. Slipping it off her finger, she gets up from her chair and places the side of it on the desk. With a twist of her fingers, she lets the ring spin round and moves out of the room, the door clicking behind her.
The ring spins in a circle ten times before slowly coming to a soft stop.
THE END
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. The reason why I didn't put in any Honeymoon smut is because I really suck at writing smut and I didn't feel like this chapter should have smut. It is purely fluffy and happy. I might do a one shot of the honeymoon smut if enough people ask for it.
Thank you all so so so much for sticking by me through the story and for all of your wonderful reviews, even on the old tangent I started going off on before I re-did those awful chapters. I really enjoyed writing this story and hopefully you enjoyed reading it.
I can't say how truly grateful I am for your patience on the story and how kind you've been towards me. It really made me more confident in my writing. Again, thank you so so much I fully appreciate it. You all get hugs *HUGS ALL OF YOU TIGHTLY*
Just one more note, I kind of used Rob's ring to symbolise a certain aspect in Emily's life. That aspect is the protection he's given her. The use of it at the end and with having the ring come to a stop basically tells you and myself that Rob's protection for Emily has now come to a stop and is no longer needed as she's now protected and has been protected by Naomi, Cook, Katie, Effy, Luce ect for ten years, that's why the ring span ten times.
Anyway, a huge thank you to you all again. I still can't believe this story has come to an end. Before you ask, no I will not be doing a sequel as there isn't really anything I can do to carry on from this, but I am open to prompts from you all still.
Remember: You don't spell love-you feel it.
Love
