Hey, so there is the next chapter. I actually had to split the wedding reception in two chapters. It would have been to long. And you would have to wait longer, as I'm currently writing the other half. I hope you don't mind. But as a reader, I hate waiting.

There is actually no pregnancy annoncement in this chapter, it was pushed to the next one. Sorry!

This chapter will contend: Outlaw Queen (of course), August/Lily, Nova/Grumpy, Daddy Charming and Snow promising to keep a secret.

Hope you like it.

Chapter 8: Have a little dance with me

"And now, for the first dance as a married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Mills!", Zelena exclaimed through the speakers. Everyone in the room clapped as Regina and Robin got on the dancefloor, which was prepared in the biggest room of the city hall. After getting all replies to the invitations, Snow had to move the whole thing away from Granny's, because it was simply not big enough for this number of people.

"So, now we are finally married.", Robin proclaimed with a beaming smile that lit up his whole face. He swayed his new wife in his arms and held her as close as he could, for it to be still appropriate in front of the guest and their sons. Their sons. Regina could still not believe her happiness.

"It seems so. And you're sure you don't mind taking my name?", she asked a bit concerned. They both came from another realm. It would not be accepted there, a man taking his wife's name. But they were not in this realm.

Robin just caressed her cheek and looked into her eyes with the deepest affection. "Why should I not? It is your name. And now it is our family name. I wouldn't want Henry to feel left out, if the three of us would have my name and he would still have his own. I want all of us to be happy together. Henry even asked me to spend some alone time with him, after we get back from our honeymoon." Regina's eyes lit up instantly. Her little boy wanting to spend time with Robin, truly accepting into his life. She knew he wanted her to be happy with Robin, but it warmed her heart to know that he wanted Robin in his own life too. To be part of his family.

"I even told him he could call me 'dad' if he wanted to, but I guess we still have to deepen our relationship before that could happen. I don't know if he will ever want this, but I just wanted to show him it would make me happy, if he ever was ready for it."

More words were muffled by Regina pressing her lips to her husband's. "I never dreamed of having you guys in my life. And I hope you know what it means to me for the both of you to really like each other not only for my sake. This day is the best day of my life. I don't know how it could be any better." She sobbed. "Before the ceremony Roland came to me and asked me if I wanted to be his mommy." Now tears were also sparkling in Robin's eyes.

"And I got the first wedding gift. Maybe the best ever. I don't know for sure if it works, but…"

Now the tears were streaming down Regina's face, though she was still smiling and shining from pure happiness. "What was that gift?", Robin asked curiously. It had to be something special to cause such an intense reaction.

"Hope. It was hope." After wiping away her tears, they got off the dancefloor and Regina led him to a quiet corner.

"Gold gave me water from a special lake. It's said this water can undone any magic. Any spell, any curse, any potion. Maybe…" She took his face in both her hands and gazed into his confused eyes.

"Maybe it can make me have children again." "You're sure? Is it not dangerous? Because I will have you without more children. I would love to have more with you, of course, but I don't want you to risk…" Again he was muffled by her lips. "It's not dangerous. I had Tinkerbell look at it before I took it. Gold might be nicer now, but I didn't want to take a risk. And she said it would work."

Robin took Regina in his arms and twirled her around. "You, Regina Mills, have truly made me the happiest man alive, today. I love our boys, but I would love to start from the beginning with you." After a moment an embarrassed smile spread on his face. "And I admit, I have always wanted a daughter." Now it was his turn to press his lips to hers.

Meanwhile, the other guest were busy with dancing.

August eyed Maleficent, who was shooting him death glares, as he was dancing with her daughter.

"I'm almost sure your mother will roast me alive any moment.", he said to Lily as they danced a bit away from her. Lily just gave him a grin.

"Well, maybe she did in fact hear us this morning under the shower. This is all still so new to me. I never really had a parent living with me, who truly cared about me. Or a boyfriend to be quiet with." As it did not lighten his mood, she continue. "Your father can not look me in the eye every time we stay the night at your place. So I guess it's only fair."

For a moment, they were both silent. Then August said: "Well, there is actually a very easy solution for that. We could just look for a place for ourselves. A home for just you and me."

As Lily was not a fan showing her weak side with all this people around, she just grabbed his face and kissed him, deeply and ardently. After they had both pulled away breathless, he whispered: "I'll take that as a yes."

Emma was currently swaying with her father. "Wow, Mom really put together a great thing. Though, I'm sure you were really lonely the past few weeks." The grin plastered on her face made her father blush and turn away his look from her.

He saw his wife, a bit away from him, dancing with her future son in law. Not that she knew this by now. But David had no doubt in his mind Killian was just that.

"He seems to have a lot of fun." He nodded towards his daughter's boyfriend.

"Yeah, he has grown quite fond of the modern world music. And he is really good at dancing. Though I wish he would have kept his fake hand at home. Don't like it." She looked a bit mad, but the expression faded fast as she watched Killian joking around with her mother.

David flinched a bit. "Well, I guess I'm to blame for that. I told him it was better for the dancing." After a scowling look from Emma, he continued. "So, you really don't mind the hook?" She looked at him confused. "Why should I? It's a part of him. He has it longer than has ever had his left hand."

"So you are not afraid he would hurt Henry or you?" "If I would tell you what he can do with his hook, especially to me, you could never look at it again, dad." David ignored his daughters comment.

"So, you wouldn't make him take it off. Even if, let's say he was holding a new born baby?" Emma did her best to not think about her boyfriend holding a baby with blond hair and shining blue eyes. Or maybe black hair and green eyes.

"I'm sure he could handle it. Someday. Far in the future."

On the other side of the dance floor, said boyfriend was busy humoring his girlfriend's mother.

"I must say, your majesty, you really did a fine job preparing all this. Regina and Robin made an excellent choice picking you for that task.", he commented with one of his famous devilishly handsome grins.

"Well, I'm glad you like it, Hook. But tell me, do I have to prepare another wedding soon?", she asked directly with her sugar sweet voice.

Now the confident smile faded from his face and was replaced by blank horror.

"How do you now? The prince promised to not tell anything! I knew he would give me away to you. It has to be him. Henry would never do that to me." "Relax, pirate. None of them said a word. But since the men fitting, Charming has been so…I don't know how to describe it. He didn't want to murder you whenever you put your arm around our daughter or kissed her. And you do both of that a lot."

Now Killian blushed. Showing his affection to Emma was so natural and just necessary like breathing, so that he sometimes didn't think about others watching them. Well, actually never.

"He has been giving you such proud and expecting looks. Just like Henry. And I've seen my daughter look at you, when she first saw you in this suit. So I logically assumed you two were engaged. But by the constant scared looks you are shooting in my daughter's direction, obviously hoping she doesn't hear us, I guess you haven't proposed yet?" He just shook his head, not being able to look into her eyes.

"Oh, this is so exciting. Don't worry, I won't give you away.", she explained with a whisper. "But only if you let me help pick the ring. And, of course let me plan the wedding." He gave her an incredulous look. Snow White was not really known for keeping secrets. Quite the opposite, actually. But there was nothing he could do.

"If you manage to really keep this from Emma until I propose to her, I might even consider naming our first daughter after you.", he joked.

"That dwarf is constantly looking our way, you know.", Tinkerbell stated as she was sitting at the table with Nova. Nova looked up, just to see Grumpy wink at her a bit shy.

With a sad expression she turned away and sipped at her glass. "Well, I can't be with him, can I?"

"Of course we can have love! Why should we be able to love and not be allowed to do so? You may be nuns in this world, but this isn't real. But what you feel for Grumpy is.", Tink proclaimed spirited.

"Well, he is a dwarf. He is also not allowed to love. So there is just no way.", Nova stated, looking away from Tink. "If you look closely at the table, you'll see they can."

At Tink's demand Nova looked to where the dwarfs were sitting and saw the dwarf Boss making out with Granny Lucas.

"But…" Nova looked confused.

"The rules don't fit here. And sometimes rules should be changed.", it came from Blue, who just sat down next to her sister fairies. "This world is different from the one we come from. So I guess we have to make new rules. I will not keep you from following your heart." She first gave Nova a smile and then Tinkerbell. "In fact, I will encourage you to take a chance. And be with the one's you love. Whoever that might be." And with that she and Tink were leading Nova to the table of the dwarfs.

Grumpy was focused on his drink. A sad look on his face, trying to ignore all the love around him.

That was then the three fairies approached him. He did his best to fake a smile and greeted them.

"Well, as I see you are not busy. So maybe you could ask Nova to dance.", Blue suggested. He looked at her confused. It was her rules of forbidding love which kept him from being with Nova. So what was that? Was she trying to torture him?

"I don't think I should.", he mumbled, looking away. They should not see his pain.

"Well, we think you should!", Tink insisted. Blue added: "Everyone deserves a chance at happiness. So maybe you should take yours."

His eyes lit up. He worked up all his courage, looked into Nova's eyes and asked: "Would you like to dance with me?" Now her eyes lit up, too and a blush crept onto her face. "I would love that."

As Grumpy wanted to turn to the other two fairies and thank them, they were already gone. Blue was back to talking and laughing with some of the other fairies and Tinkerbell was just dragging Mulan to the dance floor.

So, the next chapter should be up by tommorrow (if I work good, maybe even this afternoon). There will be a pregnancy annoncement, Henry shocking his family, Zelena being surprised and a couple discussing the option of having a baby. And, of course, a tearful goodbye, as Regina and Robin leave for their honeymoon.

I decided to delay more Green Warrior for later chapters, so I could take my time and not cut it short (like August/Lily).

Stay tuned. I'm always happy about comments and I'm always open to suggestions.
