The wedding was in two hours, Emma knew she should start getting ready instead she was sitting staring at the wall wondering if she could really go through with this. Snow was running around the room talking non-stop trying to encourage her to get ready.

Emma thought back to breakfast this morning when Regina and Henry arrived, Regina was being un-usually quiet. The atmosphere was uncomfortable, Snow and David were talking about how excited they were for the wedding and how much they approved of her marrying hook, Henry was trying to eat as quickly as possible while studying Emma even though he was excited about the wedding he knew something was wrong with her and Regina was staying quiet only answering when directly asked a question Emma was trying to get her attention but she was being ignored.

Once breakfast was cleared up Henry approached Emma

"you OK ma"

"I'm fine Henry" she replied not looking at him

"no, you're not you barely said a word at breakfast and now you won't look at me" he said, "is this about the wedding, you do want to marry hook don't you ma?"

"of course, I do kid" replied Emma before walking up to her room.

Now here she was trying to look excited about the wedding wondering if she could really go through with it, if she could marry hook and pretend to be happy with him. She knows that its unfair of her to go through with the wedding, that she should tell hook the truth and let him find his happy ending his real true love, but she knew Regina would never love her back not the way she loved Regina.

She was standing in her dress, the dress her mom wore for her own wedding the wedding where she married her true love. Snow kept telling Emma how glad she was that they both got to marry their true love in the same dress Emma smiled and didn't say anything. A knocking on the door interrupted snow's rambling and Emma was saying a silent thank you to whoever was on the other side of that door.

The door opened and Regina walked in she smiled at snow and Emma and asked if she could talk in private with Emma. Emma could tell something was wrong, the smile Emma loved to see so much didn't meet her eyes. Snow looked between them before excusing herself and said she was going to find Henry. Regina looked nervously at the floor before swallowing and looking at Emma.

"are you happy Emma, you don't seem that excited considering you're just about to marry your true love"

"I'm just about to get married I'm more nervous than excited right now" replied Emma trying her hardest not to look at Regina she knew if she did she would break and tell her everything.

"I know you Emma probably better than anyone, you're not excited you don't want to go through with this I can tell and you don't have to" Regina said desperately, she was being selfish if Emma didn't marry hook than maybe she would have a chance. Everyone thought that Robin hood was her happy ending but she believed that her happy ending lies with Emma, her sons other mother.

"of course, I want to marry hook Regina he's my true love, the person I'm meant to spend the rest of my life with and have a family with" Emma didn't know who she was trying to convince more herself or Regina

Regina looked away and tried to hold back the tears, she knows now she didn't have a chance, Emma wouldn't walk away from this wedding. Emma looked closely at Regina and saw the tears she was trying to hold back, she couldn't understand why they were having this conversation or why Regina was so upset, before she could ask her the answers to her questions a knock interrupted them. David's smiling face quickly came into view "It's time for me to walk my daughter down the aisle"

"I'll be out in a minute" replied Emma, David just smiled in reply and closed the door. Emma went to stay something to Regina but she just wished her luck and walked out door.

Emma was standing at the bottom of the aisle about to turn a corner and see her future husband for the first time that day. She put her arm through David's at took a deep breath. David looked at her and smiled "you ready to get your happy ending", Emma just nodded to after to speak she didn't know what would come out of her mouth is she did. The music started and suddenly they were walking, she was walking down the aisle she looked at hook, his face smiling so brightly back at her. Her gaze drifted to her son he was smiling but she could see that he wasn't as happy about this as he seemed this morning. Finally, she looked at Regina she was smiling but Emma could tell it was fake she thought briefly back to the conversation they had maybe she had a chance with Regina after all Emma thought and if she did she wasn't going to pass up this chance.

Emma stopped walking, she looked briefly at hook then she turned and she ran.
