Thanks a lot to oncer4life11, Emilee Amethyst, Lilybean2004 and Araya for the reviews! You guys are awesome :)

"Okay, Killian, be honest." I sighted, walking into our room to join him. "Can you see I'm pregnant if I'm wearing this?"

Hook turned to face me and stared at me carefully for a few seconds. I noticed he was dressed in modern clothes, and had a small smile seeing how handsome he was looking. We had indeed decided it was about time to finally announce we were going to get married. We had kept the secret between Henry, Killian and I for two weeks, but we had finally asked everyone to come to Granny's so we could tell them everything. My parents had no idea why we had wanted to reunite everyone, and I knew they were eager to finally know what was going on with us, because the private jokes Hook, Henry and I were sharing for days were driving them crazy. I was feeling a bit guilty to announce such good news while the wizards were still in town, but we had waited the longer we could. If we wanted to get married before the baby was born, we had to hurry up a little bit.

I was wearing a knee-length red dress, with a belt tied just under my breast so the bottom was wide and was hiding my curved stomach. It was getting harder and harder to hide my pregnancy, and I knew we couldn't wait for much longer before telling everyone we were expecting a new baby. I was just hoping to get a delay of a few more days, because I really wanted to find a solution for the wizards' issues before telling everyone about my pregnancy. But I knew deep down this wish wasn't workable. We were searching for a solution for more than 10 weeks, now. It was unrealistic to think we were going to finally find something in less than a few days.

"It's okay." Killian ended up saying, looking up to meet my gaze. "We really need to stare at your stomach to notice you're pregnant. You look stunning, by the way." He added with a smile.

"You always know what to say, don't you?" I said, approaching him and smiling weakly, comforted by his words as I was a bit anxious because of all this situation with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Come on, smile!" He laughed, cupping my cheek to look at me in the eyes, and I giggled at his reaction. "We're going to announce our wedding. It's a good thing, isn't it?"

"Of course." I nodded, a big smile finally appearing on my face. "I'm so happy, you have no idea. It's just… I'm a bit worried. I hope we'll manage to send the wizards home before the ceremony."

"We'll find something, we always do. And stop worrying about everyone, okay?" He gently asked. "It's our night. Think about you for once. I'm sure it will make you feel better."

I put myself on my tiptoe to press a tender kiss on his lips and suietly thank him for all his support. I would probably have crumbled under the stress if he hadn't been there to always reassure me, and making sure that I was getting enough rest, and taking some time for myself instead of working my ass off. I kept my hand on the back of his neck and gently tickled him as I was saying :

"I promise I'll try. Are we okay to go? Are Henry and Liam ready?"

"They are awaiting for us in the living room. Are your ready to see your parents freaking out?" He added while raising his eyebrow, and that made me giggle again.

"I've never been more prepared in my entire life." I joked as he was guiding me toward the stair, our fingers woven together.

I was sitting at a booth at Granny's, Killian beside me and my parents facing us. Liam was sitting on my lap and was looking pretty excited by the little party, wriggling every five seconds in my arms as if he wasn't able to stay still. It was Henry who had dressed him, wanting to make us a surprise, and I had laughed so hard seeing my little boy when I had arrived downstairs that I'd had to sit down in order to keep my balance. My son had bought his brother a little baby suit he had found somewhere on the internet, stating that he wanted to get him ready for the wedding. Liam was looking so adorable dressed that way, and we had received a lot of questioning looks from our friends, who were wondering why the hell our son was dressed so formally. We hadn't answered any of their interrogations, way to happy to maintain the suspense for a little bit longer.

To be perfectly honest, I was actually feeling a bit nervous. I knew they would all be happy for us, but telling them everything was making things so real. I was getting married. Me, the little girl who thought no one could ever love her. And in addition to that, I had loved these two weeks where Killian, Henry and I were the only ones to know about the wedding. I was aware that this quiet period was going to end soon. I knew my parents were only going to talk about the ceremony until the big day, and I needed some time to get ready for the excitement that was going to take control over my family for a while. We had finally agreed on a date for the wedding, and that was why we wanted to tell them everything tonight : time was going fast, and we absolutely needed to send the wizards back home before the ceremony.

"Come on, Emma, tell us what's happening already! Don't we have the right to know before anyone else? We're your parents!" My mom begged, and that made me laugh.

"Believe me, if I'm telling you now, you'll scream so loud everyone in the room will know too. Hell, the entire State will be aware of what's going on." I replied, glancing at Killian, who chuckled at my comment.

"Are you mocking us?" My dad asked a bit suspiciously.

"I wouldn't dare." I said with my best innocent smile, and Killian snorted in amusement. "And you'll see if I'm telling you the truth soon enough." I shrugged, enjoying this situation way too much.

"Will you stop making fun of us!" My dad said in a falsely disapproving way, but the smile he wasn't managing to hide was denying his words. "You can't hide this from us for much longer, and you know it."

I turned to look at Killian and ask him what he was thinking about all of this. I wanted to mock them a little longer, but I really wanted to see their reactions as well. He understood my quiet question, and he leaned forward to whisper to my ear :

"Don't you think it's time, love?"

I enthusiastically nodded and gave Liam to my parents to get out of the booth. We made our way through the crowd, holding hands, to join to diner's bar. When we arrived, Killian jumped on it, and I laughed as he was looking pretty proud of himself, raised above everyone else. Getting on the counter had become a sort of tradition when we had something important to say – it was actually standing on this bar that we had told everyone I was pregnant with Liam. Granny, used to our habit by now, only sighted in despair without saying anything, and Killian reached for my hand to help me get next to him on the counter.

The room got silent in a matter of seconds. I winked at Henry, who was standing next to my parents and was looking overexcited by the situation. I knew he was eager to see his grandparents' reaction, he was actually holding his cellphone in his hand to videotape what was going to happen, and that made me giggle. I was really excited to know what everyone was going to think about the all situation as well. I could easily imagine my mom's excitement and the strict look my dad was going to give Killian for a second before congratulating us.

"Emma! Mommy said I'm not allowed to get on the counter!" Neal cried out from my dad's arms, looking outraged by my behavior.

"I know sweetie, but we're doing it for a reason." I explained with a smile. "We have something important to tell you."

"Oh! What is it?" He asked, a big smile on his face.

"Be patient, honey, you'll know in two minutes." My mom gently reprimanded him, but she was looking as excited as her son was.

"Very well." Hook started, looking quite amused by everyone's questioning looks and taking my hand in his to woven our fingers together. "We've taken an important decision two weeks ago, and we've decided to finally share it with y'all. What we want to say..."

"… Don't scream too loud." I intervened as he was stopping for a second to annoy our friends and make the suspense last longer.

"… Is that we've finally decided to get married."

An amazed silence filled the room for a few seconds. I turned to look at Killian, laughing, then moved back to glance at my parents, who were staring at us in awe. Their lips parted, they were looking so surprised their faces were actually quite funny, and I was happy Henry had thought about videotaping all of this. Neal was the one to break the quiet, and he shouted in excitement :

"A wedding? Awesome!"

My brother's intervention seemed to wake our friends up, because they all started to cheer at the exact same time. I felt myself blushing a little bit, and Killian wrapped his arm around me to pull me closer to him. I looked at Liam, who was clapping as well, even if he didn't really now what was happening. When the noises finally calmed down, Robin started talking with a big smile, looking deeply happy for us :

"Do you have a date for the wedding yet?"

"We thought it would be a good idea to celebrate it at the end of August. Don't worry guys". I added, looking at Harry, Ron and Hermione who were standing in a corner of the room, and my words seemed to comfort them a little bit. "We'll have sent you home back then. We won't give up on you."

They smiled at me and nodded in a quiet thank you, and Killian and I ended up getting off the counter. All of our friends wanted to congratulate us, talk to us and tell us how happy they were to hear these news, and it's only a few minutes later than we managed to escape the crowd and join my parents, who hadn't said anything yet. I smiled at them as Killian was taking Liam in his arms again, and I asked :

"So, what do you think about it?"

"I… I can't believe it. You're going to get married!" My mom stuttered, tears of joy in her eyes. "God, Emma, I'm so proud of you..."

She wrapped her arms around me before I could say anything back and held me tight for a few seconds. My dad joined us after a while, and cupped my head, saying :

"It's wonderful, Emma. I'm so happy for you, congratulations."

He pulled away from me to pat Killian's shoulder in a somewhat awkward manner, and I hid my smile behind my hand. Killian winked at me, guessing that I was finding all this situation very funny, and we shared an amused gaze for a few seconds. The two men hadn't taken a really good start, but they were getting along very well now. David knew Killian was making me happy. He knew he was a wonderful father, and would do anything for his loved ones. He had accepted Killian as a part of the family, and I could not even put words on how happy it was making me, because the man I loved had a family of his own as well, now.

"I knew you would react like that." Henry said, walking toward us with a big smile on his face.

"Wait, you knew? And you didn't say anything?" My dad asked with an eyebrow raised in a falsely disapproving look.

"I would never have betrayed them. They asked me to keep the secret." My son replied with a shrug.

"Henry is Killian's best man." I explained, placing my hand on my son's shoulder. "We want the ceremony to be a way of reuniting everyone we love."

"What about me? Can I do something in the wedding?" Neal asked, looking up to me with his eyes shinning with hope.

"Of course, sweetie, we'll find you something to do, don't worry." I assured him, kneeling on the ground in front of him as he was smiling in happiness.

"Do you understand what it means, little mate?" Killian asked to Liam with a big smile on his face, gently stroking our son's back. "Mommy and Daddy are going to get married!"

"Get married?" Liam repeated without really understanding what we were trying to say.

"Yeah, that means we love each other very much." Killian patiently explained and that made me smile. "There is going to be a great party."

"A party!" Liam shouted, looking overexcited by the news.

"Mommy is going to wear a beautiful white dress. She's going to look like a princess, you know? Everyone will be there, and it's going to be the most beautiful day ever. You're happy?"

"Yeah!" Liam enthusiastically shouted.

I got up to wrap my arm around Henry's shoulder, tears forming in my eyes. All the people we loved would be reunited, we were going to forget about all of our problems for a few hours, and Killian and I were going to prove one more time how much we loved each other. Everyone would know about my pregnancy when we'd get married as well, and everything was changing so fast in my life lately it was a bit disorienting. But I was so happy. My family was looking genuinely glad for us, Henry and Liam were taking the news well, and it was all that mattered for me.

"Would you take a glass of champagne to celebrate? I'm offering!" Granny asked with a kind smile.

I was sitting next to Killian at the bar, and despite the late hour, the party was still going on. I was eating a piece of peanut butter cake, and was a bit distracted by the delightful sensation of the sweet in my mouth. I was craving peanuts for days now, the day before I had actually eaten an entire pack without even realizing it, and when Killian had gotten me a piece of the sweet without me even having to ask for it, I had been so grateful I had almost jumped on him to kiss him breathlessly. It had made him laugh a lot actually, and he had whispered to my ear that I was definitely so adorable when I was having cravings.

"That's sweet, but I'd rather not drink alcohol tonight. You know, I still have those liver problems, and Whale said alcohol wasn't good for me at the moment." I answered with a smile, telling the old lie Killian and I had invented to explain why I was feeling sick.

"I understand." Granny nodded.

"Is that why you're always sick?" Leroy intervened, drinking at a beer mug a stool away from us.

I absent-mindlessly nodded, too focused on trying not to eat the all piece of cake all at once because I really had to slow down on the sweets, I knew it. He then continued as if everything was absolutely normal :

"And is that why you're gaining weight?"

I let the fork fall into my plate with a loud noise, and stared at Leroy with anger. I couldn't believe what he had just said. I had really thought I had managed to hide my pregnancy, and his rude comment was proving me the opposite. How could he dare talk to me like that?

"Leave her alone." Killian coldly intervened, placing his hand on my leg to ease me because he knew me well enough to guess I was about to get really mad.

I sighted in anger and got off the chair. I was feeling the rage burning inside my chest, stressed by my hormones that, in addition to making me hungry all the time, were exacerbating every emotions I had and were driving me crazy sometimes. Trying not to start yelling, I mumbled :

"You know what? I'm not hungry anymore."

And without waiting for an answer, I walked toward the ladies room to be alone for a little bit. I actually knew why his comment was making me so mad : it meant I wasn't able to hide my pregnancy anymore. I couldn't control the situation, and I deeply hated that.

"Wow, she's touchy!" I heard Leroy saying in my back.

"Shut up, Leroy." Killian dryly answered.

I didn't hear the rest of their argument because I walked into the bathroom and leaned on the sink with a desperate sight. I met my reflexion in the mirror, and winced : my cheeks were red because of the anger and I was looking about to implode from all the emotions. I turned to my side and placed one of my hand on my stomach to see if the situation was really getting out of hand. I sighted when I noticed I was really starting to show, now. I knew it meant the baby was okay, and it was a good thing. But I just would have wanted it to grow a little bit slower so we could have taken care of the wizards before having to tell everyone about the new addition to our family.

I turned my back to the mirror and rubbed my face with my palm. I had to calm down a bit before going back to my friends. I needed to be alone to make sure I wasn't going to get mad. I just had reacted a bit violently after all, and even if what Leroy had said was incredibly rude, it was only the truth. I should have expected it, actually : he wasn't the subtle kind, and I was 15 weeks pregnant, it was normal it was starting to get noticeable.

I heard the door opening and looked up, a bit surprised. I saw Killian walking into the room, my eyes widened, and he immediately started to talk, closing the door behind him :

"Are you okay, love?"

"I don't know if you've missed the memo or something, but this is the ladies room" I replied with a shrug, not answering his question.

"I just wanted to make sure you were all right." He said, smiling because of my comment.

"I'm fine." I sighted in a not so convincing tone. "It's just that… I thought I had managed to hide my pregnancy, you know? Is it really that obvious?"

"We can see your body's changing, darling, but it's normal." He said with honesty, but with a great gentleness. "But it's not only your stomach, you know. There is something special in your eyes when you're pregnant. You're glowing, Swan. We can't really miss that."

"Stop it, you're only saying this to make me feel better." I skeptically said.

"Look by yourself if you don't believe me." He replied, taking my shoulder to make me look into the mirror.

I glanced at my reflexion once again, but quickly looked away with a shrug, not really believing him. He was always telling me that I was beautiful, even when I was waking up in the morning and I knew it wasn't true. But he wasn't lying to me : he was being honest here. He was just so in love with me he wasn't seeing my flaws. I could understand that : I was pretty sure it was the same for me. I looked up to him with a pout to say :

"We really need to say everything to everyone, don't we?"

"I think we should indeed." He answered, playing with one of my hair strand.

"Okay." I finally surrendered, knowing that we didn't have a choice anyway. "We'll talk with Harry, Ron and Hermione tomorrow then. We have to go at Regina's to find a solution, remember? We'll tell everything to everyone after that."

"It's going to be okay, love." He assured me, pulling me closer to him to comfort me. "I promise."

I nodded and pressed a tender kiss on his lips to quietly thank him. He was always there when I needed his support, he knew how I was feeling without me even having to say something, and I was so grateful to share my life with this wonderful man. He placed his hand on my stomach, his left arm wrapped around me, and our kisses became more and more passionate. But we got interrupted by the door opening again, and we startled. We hastily pulled away as if something had just burnt us, and I turned my head to realize my mom was standing at the door with a sheepish smile on her face.

"I didn't mean to interrupt." She winced.

"That's okay." I answered, relieved that it was her and not someone else. "We were just talking."

"It seemed to be a pretty interesting conversation." She said, trying to hide her smile by pressing her lips together.

"Thanks mom, was it really necessary?" I replied, rolling my eyes as she was quietly laughing at her own joke. "What are you doing here, anyway?"

"I saw you leave earlier, and you seemed upset. Is everything all right?" She asked, suddenly regaining seriousness to look at me more carefully.

"I'm okay." I sighted as Killian placed his hand on the small of my back to encourage me. "We've just realized we need to tell everyone about the new baby."

"You're right, it's time." She gently answered, and she had barely finished her sentence that the door was opening again.

I looked at my dad entering the room with my eyes widened, not getting what in the damn hell he was doing there. Killian bit his lower lip to avoid laughing as I was stuttering :

"What the hell? It isn't a conference room!"

"Everything's all right? I saw everyone coming here..." He stated as if everything was perfectly normal.

"It's the ladies room, dad."

"Oh, okay, I see." He said, looking falsely upset as Killian was unable to hide his laugh anymore. "Hook has the right to be there but not me?"

"You know what? Meeting's over, go back to the main room. Everything's fine, I promise." I added, seeing that my parents were looking at me with a bit of worry in their eyes. "Come on, get out of here before Henry comes too, it's going to become a family meeting if we carry on like this."

"You seem a bit upset." My dad said as I was pushing him in the back to make him get out of the room faster.

I really wanted us to get out of there. I couldn't even think about our friends' face if someone was finding us all in the bathroom. But my parents didn't seem to be wanting to listen to me, and didn't seem to care a bit about this crazy situation.

"I'm fine! We've just decided to talk about my pregnancy."

"That's what makes you so nervous?" He asked with a little pout.

"No, what makes me so nervous is the thought of someone walking into the room to find us all here." I said, before bursting out laughing when I saw his teasing smile, getting that he was messing with me since the beginning. "Dad!"

"Okay, I'll stop." He said, kissing my forehead before finally getting out of the room.

Killian followed him, still laughing about the entire situation, and as I was walking behind him, my mom grabbed my elbow to stop me. I turned to face her in the little corridor, frowning, wondering what was wrong for her to call me back like that. She smiled at me to reassure me, and started talking in an almost shy way :

"Listen, Emma, I wanted to ask you something about the wedding..."

"Go for it, mom." I encouraged her, wondering what was happening for her to look so embarrassed.

"I wanted to ask you… don't feel forced to accept, baby, it's just an offer."

"Mom, if you're not telling me what's going on I'm certainly not going to accept it." I said with a little smile.

"Sorry." She smiled back, a bit sheepishly though. "I just wanted to know… Would you like to wear my wedding dress for the ceremony?"

My breath got stuck in my throat and I stayed speechless for a few seconds. I didn't know what to answer because I hadn't expected this offer at all. I was so surprised I had no idea how to react, and she stared at me, waiting for me to answer. After a few more seconds, I managed to pull myself together and asked, perplexed :

"Wait, I don't understand… isn't it in the Enchanted Forest?"

"Unfortunately yes." She sighted, looking a bit sad about this statement. "But I've talked with Regina earlier, and she could make you a replica of it… If you agree of course."

"Of course I agree." I answered, deeply moved by her offer now that the idea had finally reached my brain. "God, it would be an honor for me. Thank you so much, Mom. It means a lot to me..."

She took me into her arms, a big smile on her face as if she had been scared I would decline her offer. I placed my head on her shoulder, deeply moved. I was finding her idea adorable. I had wanted a mom my entire life, and I now had an entire family, much bigger that what I could ever have imagined when I was a little girl. I was getting married. I was pregnant with my third child. Despite all of my problems, I could say that I was genuinely happy. I was loving these people so much, it was hard to believe a few years ago, I was alone and unhappy. They were my entire universe, I was loving them more than my own life and I would have done anything for them.

"I'm so sorry it's only a replica..." She whispered as I was pulling away from her.

"Are you kidding, it's perfect!" I cut her off, smiling as well even if I had tears in my eyes. "I wouldn't have been able to wear your dress anyway. I'll be seven months pregnant when the wedding will take place, so it's actually a good thing it's not the real one."

"You're finally going to look like a real princess, dressed like that." She said, her eyes shinning because of the emotion. "God, Emma, I can't even tell you how happy I am for you two. A new baby, a wedding… You've finally found your happy ending, haven't you? After everything you've been through, you deserve it more than anyone."

I didn't answer anything, not wanting to start sobbing and not knowing what to say back. I didn't want to break this beautiful moment. She smiled and gently ran her hand through my hair, saying :

"I'm so proud of you, honey. Go now. Join the others. It's your night."

I took her hand and squeezed it between mine to show her how much I loved to have her by my side. I could see she wasn't expecting me to say anything, she knew I wasn't good with words. She giggled, and pushed me toward the main room with a little smile. I walked into the crowd again, and Killian immediately wrapped his arm around me when I joined him, giving me a new piece of peanut butter cake with a kiss on the top of my head.

so guys, in the next chapter, you'll finally know how Harry, Ron and Hermione got in Storybrooke. The entire explanation will be in chapter 39, but in the next chapter you'll at least know who is behind the wizards' presence and what they want. I hope you liked this chapter, and see you Friday! :)
