There is one man he has trusted freely to be present in this pivotal moment of his life, but he can barely focus on his words for the other thoughts singing through his mind. He has suffered so much that he long ago gave up hope of this moment ever happening, of this precious dream he has held so long close and quiet to his heart ever becoming reality. His son is dead, but his hope is restored.

He holds the hands of the woman he loves. She calls him a book, and he is not in the least bit anguished but rather touched instead. She, too, has suffered so much, and most of it because she has chosen to love him. He touches her gingerly, gently, almost as though he is afraid she will break, and indeed he is frightened secretly that, at any moment now, he will awaken and find himself still a prisoner and these wondrous happenings merely another dream.

But she says the words. He says his, and the town's Conscience says his. The moment comes to an end, but there is one thing left to do. Belle lifts her head up to him, her eyes full of trust and love. He kisses her like he's never done before, and he understands fully what all of this means.

Nothing that has come before has truly mattered. What happens after this few precious moments in time also do not hold great measure for right now, these moments in which their hearts beat as one, is truly that for which he has spent his entire life waiting. This is not another beginning. This is his happy ending, and this wonderful woman before him who has chosen to share his happy ending, whatever future they may have, and all of his dreams, both spun and unspun, is his True Love. "I love you, Belle," he breaths against her lips, knowing no truer words have ever been spoken, and kisses her again with hope that this happy ending will last them eternity.

The End

This is lovely. You really captured Rumple's thoughts and what Belle means to him. The wedding was perfect as were the vows they shared. Whatever happens in the future they had this moment of true love and he can accept that. I particularly liked this line This is his happy ending, and this wonderful woman before him who has chosen to share his happy ending, whatever future they may have, and all of his dreams, both spun and unspun, is his True Love. Wonderful work.

I can't wait for S4 to see what happens next. I suspect Rumple will need to prove that true love and then some.

PS-I seriously need a Rumbelle icon!! :)

Thank you!! :-)

The vows were definitely perfect, and although I would have changed Belle's wedding dress, it was pretty perfectly fitting for them, and especially for poor, dear Rumpel. He will have to prove that True Love, but if they write Belle right, she'll still be understanding.
