The feast was over. Thousands of guests had left after wishing happy birthday to the Princess. The huge dining table in the great ball room was filled with presents for both the Princess and for her newborn baby. That night was like a dream. Emma had spent the night dancing with her Prince, swirling her to the rhythm. Her pink gown sprawling under the golden chandelier. Their lips barely touching as their breaths were one. The young couple smiled brightly to each other. God, he loved her innocent smile so much. He even loved her more now that he had the opportunity to see her holding their baby. Once the music stopped, they ended their dance with a sweet kiss, leaving everyone to clap.

Later, Emma was up in their room opening the presents with her baby girl. Both mummy and her baby girl were on the warm carpet in front of the big fireplace, playing with a castle toy a guest had brought to her little one. Emma's bulging skirt decorated with pink roses was covering half of the carpet, and her newborn baby was in her arms playing with her new present. Emma was so happy; she was giggling along with her baby.

While they were playing, Emma kissed her little cheek.

"I love you, my duckling" She said and her baby did a cute sound in return. While they were continuing their play, she heard a knock at the door. It was her father.

"Hey, dad" She smiled

"Hi, honey" Charming said and kissed her head.

"Is something wrong? Did everybody leave?" She said.

"Ah, Hook is with the last of them in the ball room. I am here to tell you goodnight and…" He said and his daughter interrupted him.

"Dad, you now that I am okay now. It's been 4 days since her birth" Emma said and looked down to her baby and helped her take a toy from the carpet.

"I know. It's just I've never seen you hurting so much…" He said. Emma understood that her father was worried and hugged him tight.

"It's fine, dad. I am more than happy now; I have my baby" She said.

"You're right, honey. Goodnight" He said and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, my sweet granddaughter" He said and kissed the baby's little head goodbye.

A little while later, Killian came and saw his loved ones playing together. He had to get used to this. They were his life now and he couldn't be happier. The crown on his head didn't give him the title of the Prince, they did. Later on, they were ready to put together their duckling to sleep. Emma placed her in his arms and before putting her to sleep, whispered at his baby girl something…

"Let me tell you a story, my duckling. Once Upon A Time there was a beautiful Princess and a devilishly handsome pirate. When they met under the legendary beanstalk, they hadn't have realized that they had actually fallen in love. With time a lot of difficulties came on their way. Testing their love. But they always proved to be more powerful than these separations and even death. Once all this stopped, they were ready to enjoy their love for the rest of their lives…" Killian said as he gently lulled her to sleep while Emma was playing with her little fingers.

"They got married, and a sort while after, they were given the most wonderful gift they ever had. A beautiful little angel. And you inherited the strength of that love, now remember who you are, a product of true love, that's who you are my little duckling" he finished and gently kissed her little head. Emma who stood up next to them started to tear up. He then passed their baby over to his wife's arms and then the Princess placed their duckling in her nursery and covered her gently before placing a sweet kiss on her cheek. They were just looking her sleeping for a moment. Killian put his arms around Emma's waist.

"My hand is still hurting though" He said and Emma laughed. Killian then lifted her up from her waist.

"I thought your hand was still hurting" She said as she placed her hands around his neck.

"Not for this" He said and kissed her gently. Then, Emma took him by the hand and led him to their balcony. She had to admit that the night in the Enchanted Forest was even more beautiful than the day. The stars were shining peacefully. A complete silence. And they were there. Emma's hand on his chest, both admiring the stars.

"So, you opened your presents, right? And I still didn't get you anything" He said as she turned to face him.

"I think what we have is already enough" She said as a tear fell from her face. He tried to swap it with his glove.

"Killian" She said

"Aye?"

"I love you. I always have and I always will" She said crying. He took her hand.

"I thought that was quite obvious, love" He said and looked inside at the nursery where their child was sleeping. Emma laughed.

"Swan, a few months ago, we promised to love each other for an eternity and I can't wait to live it, to prove you that I am worthy of your vow. I promise to you that I will love and cherish you forever. To be here to teach our daughter to take her first steps on that carpet…, to disagree with your father for my Prince's duties and to as I told you before, to always be by your side" He said as tears filled the Princess silk skin. She then, put her hands on his shoulders, as he placed his good hand on her back holding her close to him before leaning for a passionate kiss. At that moment, under the moonlight, thousands of fireworks filled the black sky. But they didn't stop. They suddenly heard something… Cries. They stopped kissing and realized what had happened. Their baby had woken up. They smiled to each other. Emma took her bulging skirt in her hands and began to go inside.

"Oh, my baby, what happened?" She said. Her little angel was crying. She caressed her belly which was covered by her white baby nightie and took her gently in her arms. The small baby suddenly calmed on her mother's presence.

"So, what did she want?" Killian said caressing his baby on the back.

"She just wanted us" She said and leaned for a family hug. This was going to be a routine by now. The Prince, the Princess and their baby.
