The party

Everyone left the park and made their way to the town's hall that had been set up and decorated to hold the party. The food was already placed, with spells to keep it warm and fresh. Everyone's assigned seat had been carefully thought out and when Emma and Killian made their entrance, everyone cheered for them once more.

Emma hadn't seen the room after it was decorated and she took a minute to take it all in. It was absolutely beautiful.

"Your mother outdid herself here." Killian commented.

"I was just thinking the same thing." Emma smiled.

Before they started eating and dancing, the couple took the time to speak with everyone, to receive gifts and congratulations from everyone. It took a while but they were so happy that they didn't see time passing. When it was finally time to eat, they started with toasts. David and Snow each spoke, telling everyone how grateful and happy they were for this day and this happiness. Then Regina spoke and thanked Emma for defeating her, the Evil Queen, in the best way possible: by making her a member of her family.

After that, August spoke, telling Emma how proud he was of her evolution in life, how grateful he was to be her friend and to have been able to witness this beautiful and happy day. Henry spoke too, officially welcoming Killian in the family. Some speeches were shorter than others but a lot of people wanted a chance to speak and they all got it. Smee also spoke on behalf of the rest of the crew, telling Hook how happy they all were that he got to find happiness after everything he's been through in his life.

"Are you okay love?" Killian asked his new wife as they were getting their food.

"Of course, I don't think I've ever been this happy before in my life." Emma smiled, kissing him.

"You deserve it." he smiled, kissing her back.

"What about you?" She asked him.

"I have you, Henry, my brother, all of our friends, how could I not be happy?" he told her.

"I didn't think I could ever be this happy." Emma told him as they went back to their seats.

"Me neither, but I am, because of you." He smiled.

.

They all ate joyfully and, when they were done, it was time for the couple's first dance. Emma and Killian had chosen the music together, it was sweet and romantic and perfect to dance on for the first time as a married couple. Soon, they were joined by other couples like their parents, the other royal couples of the town like Aurora and Philippe, Anna and Kristoff or Cinderella and her husband. Emma smiled when she saw August's father Marco dancing with Granny and Killian chuckled when Smee gathered the courage to ask Elsa for a dance. The Queen accepted, happy to dance. Henry also danced with Violette while August asked Lilly for a dance. On the corner of her eyes, Emma could see Red dancing with Dorothy.

At first she had fear there would be trouble because of Zelena's presence but the previously wicked witch took the high road, went to see Dorothy and apologized for everything she had done to her in the past. She had been forgiven and Dorothy had even held baby Robin a little.

All in all it was going pretty well.

"Hey mom, Elsa made an ice skating ring for the kids outside, you should come and see, it's so cool!" Henry told Emma who smiled and followed him while Killian danced with Snow and her father with Regina.

"Well, it's not everyday that you get to ice skate outside in the middle of summer, I'm sure they love it." Emma smiled, watching all the children playing happily on the ice.

"Hey Emma! I hope you don't mind, little Alexandra asked and the other seem interested as well..." Elsa told her friend when she arrived.

"Of course not, I know you're making sure they don't get hurt and this way they have fun too without being in their parent's legs." Emma smiled.

"What about you, are you having fun?" Elsa asked her.

"Of course, this is the best day of my life yet." She smiled brightly.

"I can see that. I hope I'll find that too some day." Elsa sighted.

"I'm sure you will." Emma replied before she hugged her friend and went back inside to find her husband.

.

A while later, Emma was back in her husband's arms, laughing at a story Smee was telling them. She could see that everyone was having fun. Elsa had shared over 4 dances with Killian's younger brother Liam and she could see that he was getting along well with her friend. Captain Nemo might lose his first mate soon.

"Emma, honey, it's almost time for you to throw the bouquet." Snow reminded her daughter.

"Alright, let's assemble the ladies." Emma nodded while her mother announced to everyone that the newlyweds were about to leave soon and that it was time for Emma to throw her bouquet.

All the single women assembled together and, when Emma throw the flowers, she hoped it wouldn't cause a fight like it sometimes did in movies. As soon as it was thrown, she turned around to see who would catch it. She watched Regina almost caught it but accidentally sent it back up, then Mulan saw it coming her way and, not wanting it, hit it back up. The bouquet flew a bit more before it bounced on Elsa's head and fell in Lilly's hands.

Emma smiled at her old friend and kissed Killian.

After that, Emma and Killian had to make another tour of the room, to thank everyone for coming and to say goodbye before they left for their honeymoon trip around the realms.

Just 2 more chapters, the honeymoon, where they might meet someone that could create trouble, and then the back to reality chapter.

Review please?
