Hold On For Dear Love (Sequel to WILD)

Still Harry’s POV

“Hurry up, Harry! You’re going to be late!” Louis yelled at me.

“I’m coming!” I called back as I rushed down the stairs dressed in my tux. “I need help
with the tie”

“Liam will do it on the way. We have to go right now”

He grabbed my arm and rushed me out to the waiting car that was going to drive us to the church. My nerves were building up the closer we got to it and my mind was replaying so any scenarios in my head about what could go wrong that I felt like my head was going to explode. Liam worked on my tie while making sure that the collar of my white shirt was securely covering the rest of the tie that was around my neck. He noticed my twitching hands and smiled, placing one of his on them to make them stop.

“Everything is going to be okay, Harry. You have nothing to worry about anymore” He said reassuringly.

“I can’t help it, Liam. I’m so nervous. What if-” I was cut off by him.

“Harry, if Emily didn’t love you then she would have never said yes to the proposal or faked her death in order to protect you, even if it meant that she may never see you again. That girl loves you more than anything in the world. She’ll be walking down that aisle in just an hour’s time and nothing is going to stop that from happening”

I nodded and smiled at him.

“Thanks”

A few minutes later we pulled up to the church where all of our families and friends were already waiting. I immediately went over to my mum, needing to seek comfort in her embrace. The second she saw me she pulled me into a hug and I immediately felt better. Robin smiled at us when we pulled away then pat me on the shoulder.

“You nervous?” He asked.

“I think that’s an understatement” I answered.

“Don’t worry, Harry. It’ll be fine” He assured me.

I nodded and took a deep breath. All of the boys were standing around talking to people, their girlfriends/wives by their side. It made me miss Emily and the feeling of her soft hand against mine. Being away from her for a whole day was absolute torture and I couldn’t wait to be wit her again.

“Daddy!” A little voice called.

I spun around to see Lou walking Rosalie over to me. She looked absolutely adorable in her little white dress and flowers in her hair. I smiled and knelt down so she could run into my arms.

“Hi, sweetheart. You look so beautiful” I told her before kissing her cheek.

“She refused to do anything until she saw you” Lou said with a smile.

“Awe, Rosie.” I cooed.

She gave me a hug and I wrapped my arms around her. I absolutely loved that she was such a daddy’s girl now even though Emily was the one who raised her for the first two years of her life. I love her more than life itself, just like I love her mum.

“Hey, Rosie. Can you go back to mummy now? She can’t come out here without you” I asked her.

She nodded and kissed my cheek before reaching out to Lou. I let her take the girl out of my arms and carry her back to where Emily was waiting. When I turned back to my family I found everyone smiling at me as I had interacted with my daughter. I couldn’t help but blush a bit, but it was immediately replaced with nerves once Louis told me it was time.

We all took our places, me standing up at the altar while the boys began to walk down the aisle with the bridesmaids, starting with my best man, Louis, and Jenna, the maid of honor. I reminded myself to thank him later for being there for me and helping me out today. Without him I would have gone crazy.

As soon as each of them walked and were lined up the bride’s music began to play. All eyes turned to the oak doors that opened, revealing Rosalie as she walked down the aisle, throwing little flower petals out of her basket. I smiled at how adorable she looked as she grinned from ear to ear while she walked to me. I bent down to give her a quick hug and a kiss before handing her off to my mum.

That’s when I finally saw her.

She was absolutely beautiful. Her hair was curled and her hair was put up with a few strands hanging down to frame her face in an elegant way. Her dress was stunning and hugged her every curve perfectly. When she got closer I noticed that the entire back of the dress was cut out, showing off her tanned skin. It made her look sexy and beautiful at the same time. A combination that made me want to carry her off right that second.

She finally made it to the altar and took my outstretched hand so I could help her walk up the steps. Once she was standing beside me we both turned and smiled at each other.

“You ready?” She asked me.

“I’ve been ready since the day I met you”

Her smile widened and we looked up at the minister, signaling him to begin the ceremony.

“We are gathered here today…”

Everything else just faded out as I kept my eyes on her. This moment that I have been waiting so long for was finally here and I hadn’t even imagined that it would be this amazing. Here I am, standing next to the girl I fell so hard for all those years ago, finally about to marry her and call her mine.

When it was finally over and the minister said those words, “You may now kiss the bride.” I didn’t even hesitate to pull her to me and kiss her passionately with everything I had. I barely even heard the cheers and claps of our friends and family, just focusing on her and how her soft lips felt against mine. It seemed like hours before we finally separated and looked into each other’s eyes, both of us smiling like crazy.

“I love you” She whispered, her eyes glistening with happy tears.

“I love you, too” I murmured, kissing her gently before we turned to everyone.

I smiled and held Emily's hand as we walked back down the aisle to the waiting car that would take us home so Emily could change into her reception dress before we went to the party. We waved to everyone and I promised Rosalie that we would meet her and our families at the reception before Emily and I left.

The driver took us away and I pushed the button to raise the non-see-through glass that separated us from the driver. The second it was up I turned to Emily and kissed her, getting an immediate response as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I felt her fingers rake through my hair and shivered.

I had always loved it then she played with my hair and it drove me crazy and relaxed me at the same time. My hands moved down to her waist and I pulled her closer as my lips moved down to her neck, softly nipping at her skin. A soft moan escaped her lips and I smirked against her skin before sucking on it lightly, making sure I didn’t leave a noticeable mark.

“My mum is watching Rosie tonight” I murmured into her neck. “It’ll just be you and me”

“Good…Then you can wait until then” She said before pushing me away, a grin playing across her lips.

I groaned softly.

“Come on, Emily. We have time” I whined.

“Nope. You’ll have to wait”

She scooted away from me and I playfully glared at her.

“Fucking tease” I muttered, getting a giggle from her.

~.:o:.~

The reception was amazing. Everyone was up having fun, either dancing or drinking and talking. I even got to take Rosalie out and dance with her which was an amazing time. She looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes and was just smiling the whole time, giggling every time I spun her. I couldn’t be happier than I was in that moment. I had the perfect wife...the perfect daughter...and I was surrounded by all of my friends and family who had helped me so much through all of this.

I couldn’t thank them enough. Without them I probably would have given up a long time ago and never had the chance to find out about Emily or meet Rosalie for the first time. I couldn’t ask for better people to spend my life with.

As I laid in bed that night with my arms wrapped around my sleeping wife who was laying on my chest I thought about how much we had been through...how much we survived because of each other. I would be nothing without her and I’m glad I didn’t give up on myself..or life..because there would always be a out of the rough patches that one normally wouldn’t see. You have to fight for what you want and have patience and faith that everything would turn out alright.

But most importantly…

When you feel like the world is caving in and there’s nowhere to run...

Hold On For Dear Love

THE END

The end! Please comment and let me know what you think! I might do a short little chapter about their married lives after everything, but I haven't decided yet.
