Moving day. For as long as she could remember, moving had always been a negative thing. Moving from one place to another, alone, in a rush, nothing but painful memories. Even the move to New York had been bittersweet, tainted by remorse at what she was leaving behind.

But this time it was different. This time Henry was running back and forth with David, pulling boxes excitedly out of the caravan of cars in the street. This time, a pair of strong arms will pull her into his and steal heated kisses out of everyone's view. And after the kiss, when she looked up to him, forehead pressed against hers, she could see the happiness in his eyes.

This time it was different. An army of family members was coming back and forth, unpacking and stocking shelves, moving furniture. They didn't even had the chance to pay for pizza, as Mickey christened their new kitchen by making it right there, the smell of cheese and garlic watering everyone's mouth. Forget-me-nots and tulips were everywhere, a housewarming gift from Vinnie and his family.

Killian stood by the kitchen counter taking a break, glass of water in his hand, when Laura approached him.

"Thank you, Laura, for your help today." Killian smiled and she waived her hand dismissively.

"Don't mention it." She said as she leaned next to him, lowering her voice. "What you might want to mention, and explain… is why you have a second ring on your hand, right on your ring finger. Maria has noticed already, and its' only a matter of minutes before she notices Emma is sporting a very similar one on her left hand." Laura raised her eyebrows at him.

Killian chuckled before taking a long gulp of his water… "You know, sometimes you lot scare me… and I trust me, I don't scare easily."

Laura smirked at him "Well, rumor has it that our ancestors weren't always in the right side of the law…"

Killian left the glass on the sink and reached out to put his arm around Laura's shoulder as they left the kitchen. "My kind of people…" He smirked.

He cornered Emma on their new bedroom, pressing her softly against the wall. He had all intentions to just talk to her, but he couldn't help reaching out to kiss her first. Thoroughly. Very thoroughly.

"Killian…" She said between kisses, "there will be time for us to make good use of this room, once everyone leaves…"

He chuckled before pulling his head away to smile at her. "I know, love. I just needed a private moment with you…"He hesitated.

"What happened?"

"I think we need to tell them about our decision to be wed."

"Now?!"

"Laura approached me… Maria noticed my ring. They have eyes like hawks. They are going to notice yours." He bit his lower lip. "And they are all here, might as well do it now."

They've only told Henry so far, on the very same day they'd decided about it. But other than that, they had kept it for themselves as they focused on moving into their new house. She looked into Killian's eyes and felt it was the right time to share it with the others as well.

"Alright." She nodded smiling.

Once everyone was gathered in the living room sitting in between boxes and the recently moved furniture, eating pizza; Killian stood cleared his throat, reaching for Emma's hand.

"First, we'd like to thank you all for your help today." He started his hand squeezing Emma's. "And we have something we wanted to share with you. Emma and I - we're getting married." He finished, his eyes looking for hers and smiling.

There was one second of silence before a massive roar erupted on the living room and all of the sudden people were all over them, hugging them, patting their shoulders, demanding to see the rings. Snow and Maria were in tears and David clasped Killian's shoulder in congratulations.

Mac waited patiently until everyone congratulated them before reaching out to hug Killian. "Congratulations, partner." He said.

"Thank you, mate. I trust that you'd be willing to be my best man?" Killian asked.

Mac nodded. "I'll be honored."

"There's so much to plan!" Mary Margaret started and Maria nodded. "We need to secure a venue, the church, everything!"

"Wait!" Emma said… "We want something simple. Very simple. Here, on our backyard. And soon."

She could see the disappointed faces but she breathed in, her hand reaching for Killian's. "Killian and I, we don't want a big ceremony, we just want to share this moment with you and we've waited a long time to be together." She looked into his eyes. "We're done waiting." She smiled and he reached to kiss her forehead.

Maria cleared her throat. "I'm sure we can get Father Patrick to marry you whenever you decide. And we can take care of the food and the wedding cake."

"I'll do flowers and decorations," Vinnie offered and looked at Mary Margaret, "Would you like to help me with those?"

Mary Margaret beamed at him, "It'll be my pleasure."

"I'll be in charge of the music," Henry volunteered.

"I'll just show up and be the best man." Mac shrugged.

Emma looked at her father. "And you'll give me away, right?"

David hugged her, tears coming to his eyes. "I'd be crazy not to." He said, his eyes meeting Killian's through Emma's head.
