Do You Believe in Magic?
Chapter Fifteen
Regina impatiently waited at the bottom of the staircase after she and Henry were dressed.
"Henry, I wanna see her so badly," she whined.
Flashback:
"My love, I was, um, was hoping that you wouldn't mind if we didn't show each other our outfits until the ceremony."
"You don't want me to poof a dress for you," Regina asks and waves her hands around in the air.
Quinn smiles. "No, not this time. Granny and I are working on something special…"
"Baby, anything you wear will be special because you'll be wearing it as you walk down the aisle to me."
Regina kisses Quinn on her forehead.
Then she says, "If you insist!"
Quinn connects their lips in a powerful kiss.
Flashback Ends.
"Where do you think you're going," Henry asked with a smile as he quickly stepped between his mother and the staircase.
"Hey, I'm your mother," Regina insisted.
"Yeah, still not getting past me," Henry said with a sly smile.
Regina pouted, but ultimately stopped trying to get upstairs.
"Do you want to go to the site to make sure everything's okay? I think I heard the limo for us," Henry said.
"Yes, the suspense is killing me," Regina said seriously.
"Ok," Henry said as he turned to the front door. Regina made a mad dash to the staircase.
Henry turned quickly and grabbed her by the arm.
"Calm down, Henry," Regina said and looked into his eyes lovingly.
Henry released his hold on her.
Regina turned to the staircase. She stepped on the first step and yelled, "Baby?"
She heard laughter coming from the guest room.
"Fabray, I think your woman's calling you," Santana yelled.
"Yes, my love," Quinn approached the doorway, but Brittany stopped her from entering.
"Nope, you can yell to her," Brittany insisted.
"Um, Santana," Quinn whined.
"You heard my wife. She's so smart," Santana said and blew Brittany a kiss.
"Regina, they're not letting me pass," Quinn yelled.
"Henry too," Regina yelled back. "We're going to make sure everything's okay. I love you. You're mine…"
"And I'm yours," Quinn yelled back happily.
Regina turned around and soon the front door slammed.
Regina and Henry entered the limo and closed the door. There was silence during the entire ride. Regina just stared out the window and watched as the scenery passed her by.
Once they got to the city line they were shocked and speechless at what they saw. The citizens of Storybrooke had the location totally renovated location. The spot was the same, but its beauty was amplified. There were two rows of seats. It wasn't split down on the middle and Regina thought it gave the wedding a more personal touch.
There was a stage in front. It stood under an awning, which was painted light blue because that was their color scheme. A three microphone stand stood in the middle of the raised stage.
By that time, the orchestra, yes, orchestra was assembled.
"Who?" Regina asked Henry.
"I dunno," Henry replied.
Right behind them, Snow came walking up.
"Do you like it," Snow asked hopeful.
"Yes, it's beautiful, but who?"
"Well, the citizens of Storybrooke came up with this little surprise. We all are excited that you're getting what you've longed for…your happy ending, Regina," Snow said happily.
Carried away in the moment, Regina turned to Snow and enveloped her in a tight embrace.
"Uh," Snow said surprised. Henry smiled.
"Thank you," Regina said while still in the hug.
"Our pleasure," Snow said as Regina released her.
Granny walked up to the group and asked, "Ok, Regina, where do you want me?"
"Um, on the stage, behind the microphone," Regina instructed with a warm smile.
Granny ran off in that direction.
By this time, people began to enter the ceremony area and sit down.
Regina began to get nervous.
"Mom, you okay?"
Regina pulled at the collar of shirt and said nervously, "Yes, I'm good…"
Henry smiled at her as he walked away so that she could have a few minutes to collect her thoughts.
Regina stood in the spot where Henry had left her and looked up to the sky. Somehow she felt Daniel's presence. She hoped that he'd be happy that she'd found her happy ending.
The sound of the orchestra beginning to play brought her out of her quiet time. Henry walked back over and said, "Quinn will be here in a few minutes. Would you like to walk down the aisle?"
The audience were sitting around Regina.
"Yes! Let's get me married," Regina said excitedly.
She grabbed Henry's hand and yanked him to just outside the ceremony. The leader of the orchestra noticed this and signaled to the musicians that the ceremony was about to begin.
The audience watched as their mayor and her son began to walk down the aisle to the stage. Once they were on it, the crowd applauded. Henry flattened his mother's tie and kissed her cheek.
Flashback:
"It's amazing," Granny says as she looks in awe at Regina in her suit.
Regina stands as she peers at her suit. It is a custom made black groom, tailcoat, pant suit with a peaked lapel. The tie was light blue.
"Are you sure?" Regina is staring at herself, judgingly, in the full length mirror.
"You look very dapper," Granny says and holds her thumb up in the air.
"And Quinn?"
"Quinn will love it. Trust me. She'll love anything you wear."
"Ok, can you check the length of the pants?"
Regina has the biggest grin on her face. "This is the suit I'll be wearing when I marry the love of my life…of a thousand lifetimes!"
Granny smiles at her and then attends to the length of the pants.
Flashback ends.
The chariot arrived as if on cue. Judy, Santana and Brittany emerged from it first. They all wore ear to ear grins as they made their way to the first row.
Flashback:
"Hey, Mom," Quinn asks on a random phone call.
"Yes, dear," Judy answers.
"Would I be a horrible daughter if I asked if I could walk down the aisle to Regina by myself," Quinn asks with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Oh, um, no, no," Judy pretends not to be upset.
"Are you upset, Mom?"
"Maybe," Judy lies.
"Mom…"
"Well, a little, but I totally get it," Judy says. "Can we still have a mother-daughter dance together?"
"Dust off those dancing shoes!"
Flashback Ends.
Emma retreated from the chariot next. She wore a tasteful off the shoulder, light blue dress, which stopped at her knees.
Regina nervously turned her head to Granny and smiled. As soon as she saw Granny's jaw drop, Regina whipped her head back in the direction of the aisle. Quinn nervously stood in front of the chariot.
Her Quinn.
Quinn was wearing a flawless wedding dress. It had a line cathedral train. The fabric of the dress was organza. It was strapless and had beading on the midsection. It even had a pick up skirt. The most attractive feature to it, to Quinn, was the train. It was so beautiful and really the selling point when Granny suggested it.
Quinn was also wearing a veil, which Emma pulled down just before she began to walk down the aisle. Once Emma reach the end she stood opposite Henry.
"Hey kid," she whispered.
"Hi, Mom," Henry whispered and nodded his head at her.
Quinn walked up to the entrance of the ceremony and paused.
The string quartet part of the orchestra prepared to play "Here Comes the Bride". With Quinn's first steps the song began and the audience rose from their seats.
As Quinn glided down the aisle, Regina's smile grew wider and wider. Pretty soon it looked like her smile consumed her entire face.
When Quinn stopped her march to turn and face Regina, Regina said, "God, I love you!"
Quinn blushed, but never broke their eye gaze.
Granny took a step up to the three-microphone stand that stood in the middle of the stage.
"Please be seat," Granny instructed the audience who immediately sat down.
"Welcome to the wedding ceremony of Mayor Regina Mills to Quinn Fabray!"
The audience loudly applauded for a few seconds and then silenced themselves.
"This day was written in the fairy tale of Regina's life. From an early age, Regina searched for that one thing that she had never experienced. That one thing that would make her whole. It makes each and everyone of us whole also. That one thing, my friends, is love. Regina wanted it so bad that she cursed us and brought us here," Granny paused, looked at the crowd, and then continued, "Personally, I'm glad she did it…"
Regina looked at Granny dumbfounded. She smiled at her after a few seconds.
"I'm glad because eventually Regina found Quinn. And Quinn found Regina."
The crowd applauded again.
After Granny waited a few seconds, she continued, "So, Quinn, Regina, it is now time to exchange vows. Quinn, please go first."
Quinn nervously looked down for a second. It was as if she was trying to muster the courage to tell Regina. All of a sudden, Quinn's eyesight returned to Regina. She stepped closer to the microphone and said, "Regina, I came to Storybrooke a broken person. I came to this town because I wanted and needed to escape my own town and my own situation. As soon as you approached me at the restaurant and we locked eyes, I was found. You, my love, found me. You've accepted me, all of me, and for this I am eternally grateful for this. I am so completely in love with you. I am yours for the rest of my life. I love you."
Regina's eyes were tearing as she listened with an opened heart to Quinn's words to her. She raised their joined hands and kissed Quinn's.
Granny stepped up to the microphone again and simply asked, "Regina?"
Regina shakily began, "Quinn, my Quinn, I love you. It's as simple as that. I utterly adore you in every way you can think of or imagine. Before you walked into my life, I wasn't a real good person. I am truly sorry for that and I hope everyone can find it in themselves to give me another chance."
Regina heard some applause and took that as a good sign.
"Quinn, when we first met my whole world change. I became a better person, a better mother, because of you. You've taught me so much. The most important thing that you've taught me is that I deserve a second chance despite my past. You, Quinn Fabray, are my happy ending and I'm never going forget that. I am yours and you are mine, forever," Regina finished and took a deep breath.
Granny stepped forward and said, "Now it's time to exchange rings."
Flashback:
"Do you want any phrase to be engraved on the band," the jeweler asked.
"Yes," Quinn excitedly said.
"What is it?"
"'I'm yours…and you're mine!'"
"Perfect!" Regina said shocked.
Flashback Ends.
Quinn turned around so that Emma could place Regina's ring into her hand. While Quinn was doing that, Regina turned to Henry who placed Quinn's ring into his mother's hand. They held hands for a brief second as he said, "I love you, Mom!"
Regina's smiled and blushed.
Once they both had each other's rings in their hands, Granny said, "Regina, repeat after me…'Quinn, I am yours…'"
"Quinn, I am yours," Regina repeated as she looked into Quinn's eyes.
"'And you are mine'…" Granny finished.
"And you are mine," Regina finished her statement as she pushed Quinn's wedding band onto her left hand, ring finger.
"Okay, Quinn, repeat after me…'Regina, I am yours…'"
"Regina, I am yours…"
"'And you are mine,'" Granny finished.
"And I am yours," Quinn finished the declaration with a loving smile on her face. She nervously pushed Regina's wedding band onto her left hand, ring finger.
After they exchanged rings they grasped each other's hands tightly and stared intensely into each other's eyes.
"By the power vested in me, I pronounce you wife and wife. Regina, you may kiss your bride," Granny said and stepped back.
Regina pulled Quinn into her body, dipped her slightly, and kissed her passionately. Quinn's arms immediately wrapped themselves around Regina's neck as their kiss deepened.
The audience applauded with thunderously applause.
Once the kiss broke, Granny quickly stepped up to the microphone and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce Mrs. And Mrs. Regina and Quinn Mills!"
Henry quickly put his hand on his mother's shoulder and she turned around and enveloped her son in a tight hug. "I love you, Henry," Regina whispered into his ear.
"I love you, too!" When the hug ended, Regina grabbed Quinn's hand and squeezed it tightly.
Everyone stood up and applauded the newly married couple. Quinn saw her mother crying happily for her daughter. Regina saw Santana give her a thumbs up.
Regina and Quinn walked back down the aisle and immediately got into the limo.
As soon as the door closed, Quinn lunged at Regina who fell backwards. Quinn hungrily kissed her. Regina moaned in the kiss.
When it ended, Quinn looked into Regina's eyes and said, "Now I'm your wife. But…something tells me, on some level, I've always been. Now I know why my other relationships didn't work…I was waiting for you!"
Regina hugged her tightly. Regina kissed Quinn's cheek. "Quinn…I love you." She looked Quinn in her eyes and began to cry.
Quinn's fingers immediately wiped the falling tears away. As she was doing this she said, "Regina, don't cry."
Regina sniffled and said, "Thank you!"
"For what?"
"For loving…for marrying me…for being someone I know I can count on," Regina said with a teary smile.
"Always," Quinn said simply.
"Oh, one more thing…" Regina said quickly.
"Yes," Quinn said as she lazily played with the strands of hair that had fallen down from Regina's bun.
"Thank you for being my happily ever after!"
Quinn paused to look her wife in the eyes. She moved her mouth closer to Regina and right before their lips connected she said, "You're welcome!" She closed the gap and they kissed like it was the first time…
AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER…
THE END!
