Chapter 7
"I love you for your beauty, your intelligence, your kindness...and for the way you always know how to make me feel so special. So on top of all the other vows that I will make to you on our wedding day, I also vow to always appreciate how lucky I am to have someone who makes me feel the way you do and to continue to try as hard as I can to make you feel as special as you make me feel, forever and ever." Jefferson whispered, staring into her eyes the whole time. She smiled as she felt the silent tears slid down her cheeks. In his eyes she had never looked more radiant. She had her dark hair pulled back, her eyes sparkled with the tears that now fell from her eyes and she was wearing a white dress (A hammy-down from his mother that made it all the more special) that was stretched around her nine-mouth pregnant stomach and on her finger was a golden ring with a light blue gem, a treasure he had collected from one of his travels.
"You have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible... You have made me a better person, as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life. So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together." She smiled as she finished and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Then from the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" Jefferson's brother Kyle read.
Jefferson smiled at her then carefully placed a tender kiss on her lips.
"I love you." He whispered once they pulled apart.
"I love you too." Her smile had never been bigger.
"There they are!" Someone yelled.
Jefferson's eyes grew wide. "Shit." He whispered as he locked eyes with her. "Run!" Kyle didn't move. "Kyle, RUN!" His brother did as he said and ran, taking off in one direction while Jefferson and Rose took off in another.
She laughed as they took off. "What?" He asked.
She smirked. "What a perfect ending to our ceremony."
He shrugged. "Unavoidable. But at least it was after."
She smiled. "That's one way to look at it." She looked over at him. "But it really was perfect."
He smirked. "I tried." She was about to retort with some clever remark when a wave of pain shot threw her, causing her to freeze and cry out.
"Rose?" He asked, stopping to help her. She didn't answer just trembled in pain. "Rose!?"

She looked up and her eyes were met with a pair of bright green eyes and a kind smile.
"It's fine." She said dusting herself off. She looked up and the gleam in his eye turned to a look of confusion.
"Rose?"
"Um…no. My names Charlotte." She held out her hand. "Sorry what was your name again?"
"Jefferson… Jefferson Edwards."
She smiled. "Nice to meet you Jefferson Edwards. Didn't you judge the story competition?" He nodded. "Well we got the results back today. The kids were very happy with your choice."
"Paige."
"Yes she won. I read her story-"
"You read her story?" He asked, looking a bit hopeful.
"Um… yes and I have to say it was good." She was confused to say the least at his dramatic mood changes.
"Did you feel anything?"
"What?"
"When you were reading the story? Did you feel anything?"
"I… I can't say I did." She knew that was a lie but she really didn't want to get into the strange feeling she got when she read it. Frankly she wasn't even sure what it was.
"Oh." He looked disappointed. "I… I should go." He said, remembering what Regina had said.
"Ok? Um… see you later?" He nodded.
"Yes. I'll see you later." He adjusted his vest and with that he was off, heading in the direction she had just left.
