Incredible – Celine Dion (feat. Ne-Yo)
A/N: Sorry I haven't written in a while, first my family and I had the flu and then the holidays came so I was very busy. But I finally have gotten around to updating. Sorry it's not longer. I will try and update again as soon as I can! Also, sorry if this has a lot of mistakes, it's also unedited. I tried to get it posted as quickly as possible.
News traveled fast in the kingdom of Enchancia regarding their beloved Queen Sofia. When people heard she was betrothed to their former, much adored King Cedric they couldn't have been happier and celebrations took to the streets. Music filled the air as people sang out their happiness and joy that Queen Sofia and soon to be again King Cedric would rule together while fireworks lit up the night sky.
Most happy of all were Cedric and Sofia themselves. After courting for almost a year, Cedric finally got the courage to officially ask Sofia to marry him which she eagerly agreed jumping into his arms, knocking him to the ground, as per usual.
Cedric had brought Sofia to their spot they always go flying where he got down on one knee and presented her with a beautiful diamond ring, professing his love. That night they went to Mystic Meadows to give the good news to Cedric's parents. Sofia couldn't wait until the next day. Goodwin patted his son on his back and congratulated him before pouring a shot of whiskey for them both while Sofia showed off her new ring to Winifred.
Once they finally made their way back to the castle Sofia rushed to Baileywick's private quarters to tell him the good news as well despite Cedric's insistence to simply wait until the morning and let the poor man sleep. However, Sofia couldn't wait. She knocked excitedly on his door until he answered it in a state of panic. Sofia held up her left hand squealing, and pointing to the ring before throwing herself into Baileywick's arms proclaiming that he'd finally popped the question. Baileywick rolled his eyes before responding, "You doubted he would?" While pushing Sofia back from him awkwardly.
"Well, I figured he would eventually. I just didn't know when." Sofia said with a smile.
"Congratulations, your majesty. But if you don't mind, I'd like to go back to sleep…" He said as he shut the door.
Unfazed Sofia skipped back to Cedric's side happily and they transported below the castle while Cedric just shook his head smiling at Sofia's giddiness.
Over the next few months they began preparations for their wedding with the help of Winifred and Baileywick. One afternoon Sofia approached Baileywick while he was organizing and planning. "I'm sorry to interrupt Baileywick, but could I please talk to you a moment?" She asked, hesitantly, knowing how much he hated to be interrupted while working.
"Of course your majesty." He said with a bow, although you could tell there was a slight annoyance in his voice.
She led the way to her office to speak with him alone and he followed her in. Once inside they shut the door and she sat down. "Baileywick, ever since my family… well, ever since… well… you know…" Baileywick nodded in gentle understanding and she continued on, "Ever since then, you have become my family. I can't express how thankful I am for all of your help, encouragement, love and understanding over the years. My family always looked at you as a friend and part of our family Baileywick. So I would love if you would be willing to walk be down the aisle in place of my father on my wedding day?"
Baileywick gasped as he placed his hand on his heart. "Sofia… I-I'd be honored. It would be a privilege to walk you down the aisle." He responded fondly. And in a rare moment of affection he let Sofia give him a quick hug.
"Thank you Baileywick." Sofia said as she stepped back.
"The honor is all mine." Baileywick replied as he bowed before her causing her to giggle slightly.
Moments later Cedric walked in the office and began, "Oh just the man I was looking for, Baileywick, I need you to be my best man."
"Ummm… I didn't know we were best friends?" Baileywick asked.
"Well, over the years I feel we have gone from two people who happen to work for the same person to people who happen to irritate each other very greatly to almost slightly possibly… good friends… who still irritate each other very often." Cedric stated with a straight face waiting for a response.
Looking at Cedric for a moment, Baileywick began to grin before responding, "So you think of me as a good friend now? Ahhh, isn't that sweet?"
"Don't be ridiculous! Will you be my best man or not?" Cedric asked beginning to get annoyed.
Relenting, Baileywick finally responded, "Of course I will, I'd be honored to be your best man. As much as you still irritate me I also think of you as a good friend, too Cedric. I'll also be walking Sofia down the aisle. We were just discussing it."
"Great, it's settled. We're like one big happy dysfunctional family the three of us!" Sofia said happily with a big smile on her face eliciting grumbles from the other two men.
As the date of their wedding drew closer, Cedric wanted to broach the topic with Sofia about a sensitive subject matter for her. But he wasn't sure how without upsetting her. He wanted to move back above into the castle and not stay below when they began having children. Although it would be nice to keep it for when they wanted some privacy where nobody could reach them or if ever there was an emergency and they needed to hide or get away. Cedric was worried however, that Sofia may not ever want to live in the castle again.
Finally one day, Cedric decided to simply ask her. He was shocked at Sofia's reaction. She smiled at him and agreed it was a great idea.
"Cedric, the tragedy was many years ago. I've moved on and I can be in the castle now just fine. I just don't want to be in the same room as where my family was killed. But I don't mind living in the castle and raising our children. It's probably better they have windows and light like normal children." Sofia told him.
"It's not that I don't love living alone with you where nobody can disturb us, I just think it'll be better for our future children." Cedric said.
"I agree. Although I do like the idea of keeping the place below the castle so we can have some private space when we want it." Sofia added with a sly smirk as she saddled over towards him and sat in his lap wrapping her arms around his neck. Cedric smiled before kissing her gently.
"Mmm… hmmm…" He mumbled as he nuzzled her neck causing her to giggle.
"Get a room you two, you make gag." Clover grumbled as he hopped into their office.
"We're in a room, you can hop yourself right back outside if you don't want to watch." Cedric said back to him before continuing to kiss Sofia's neck.
"Disgusting…" The bunny said as he left the room making the two lovers laugh.
A few minutes later there was a soft knock on the door and a cough. Cedric leaned his head back to see Baileywick standing there looking uncomfortable.
"Yes?" Cedric asked, tersely.
Looking at Sofia, he began to speak, "Sorry to interrupt your majesty. But we need to finish tailoring your wedding dress. The seamstress has arrived." Baileywick told her with a smile, knowing she would be very excited.
Jumping up impatiently, almost knocking Cedric backwards in his chair. Sofia ran towards the door. "Yay! I'm so excited. You have to stay here. You aren't allowed to see the dress Cedric." Sofia declared as she took off following Baileywick.
