A few days passed and Zelena was continually amazed by Mal's caring nature. She completely switched out much of the furniture for something easier on Zelena's back, kept the pantry and fridge full of food and her favorite snacks and cooked for her every night. She replaced her gifts, painting two new pictures of Zelena, reforging her shield and bought her a new car. She made sure that the witch got her prenatal care, everything Zelena would ever need to have their child, the dragon made sure it was provided. Zelena really didn't have much to do, especially since the weather was starting to turn colder again. Mal fixed that problem by placing a spell on her land that allowed her to control the temperature around the farmhouse. Lily was often with Eric, slowly building a relationship with her father. As for the wedding, there was little discussion so far, but of course the dragon wanted to take care of everything, which Zelena argued fervently against. She wanted to do something, but Mal was being incredibly stubborn.

Zelena was lounging in a chair on her porch, drawing lazily on a sketchpad when a familiar Mercedes drove up the lane. Mal was laying next to the house in her dragon form, chewing on one of her giant tires. She didn't even give the car a second glance, so intent was she on destroying the rubbery chew toy. The witch looked up as Regina and Emma got out of it and walked up the steps of the porch.

"I do believe the last time we spoke, I told you not to ever come on my property again." Zelena said, looking up at her guests. Her sister had been calling nonstop trying to contact Mal after hearing about happened with Hades. The dragon ignored her of course. Not intentionally, but they both were preoccupied at the moment.

Regina glanced at the Mal. It made Zelena smile, listening to her purr like a content cat as she played with the tire. "I just wanted to check on Mal."

"She's fine, obviously. Anything else?" Zelena replied.

Regina dug her hands into her coat pockets. "Well, I just wanted to congratulate you on the baby too."

"Thank you. Congratulations to you as well. You know, you could've just sent me all this in a text." Zelena sighed. Mal raised her head and looked in her direction, but she waved her hand dismissively and the dragon relaxed once again.

"She's very protective of you." Regina murmured.

"I'm her mate. And also pregnant. It's expected." The witch shrugged. "What do you want, dearie?" She knew her sister had to want something else. She wouldn't drive all the way out here for small talk.

"Why didn't either one of you tell me what was going on?" Regina finally demanded. "I was worried sick and Ruby wouldn't tell me anything. I could've helped. It's a miracle Mal survived the Black Death at all."

Zelena sighed again and put down her sketchpad. Maleficent raised her head as her mate rose to her feet. "Believe it or not, Baby Sister, but regardless of who you are and what you feel, anything that happens at this farmhouse is none of your concern. If you needed to be notified, you would have been. Mal is perfectly fine. Your help was not required in saving her."

"You gambled her life on-"

"I didn't gamble anything." Zelena hissed. "Her life is the most precious thing in the world to me. I wouldn't bet it on anything. As I said, you were not needed. You do not need to be involved in everything Maleficent does just because you used to be friends. You locked her up for 30 years and expected her to just forget that? You didn't want her until she had moved on with me. How much do you really care, Regina?"

Regina met her glare evenly. "I care a lot about Mal."

"Good. Not as much as I do." The redhead said firmly.

Regina rolled her eyes. "I didn't come here to argue with you. I came here to check up on my old friend."

Zelena looked over her shoulder at her dragon. Mal met her eyes, staring into them with curiosity and...amusement? She frowned slightly and stepped to the side to retake her seat. She didn't like having Regina anywhere near her mate. Bonding again had brought out some sort of primal possessiveness in her that simply would not go away until Mal was once more in her sight or in her arms. She ignored her company and turned back to drawing.

Regina approached Mal, but the dragon didn't shift forms and chose instead to simply listen to the queen tell her how worried she was.

"Um, congratulations." Emma said awkwardly.

"Hasn't your mother ever taught you to say things you actually mean?" Zelena responded without looking up. "Oh wait...she put you in a tree."

"Look, Zelena, I don't disrespect you like this."

"No, you and Regina are just always trying to meddle in everyone's business. I do remember telling you that I would gut the both of you the next time you set foot on my property...and yet here you stand." She looked up. "Have I lost my edge? Do I need to make an example out of someone?" Mal suddenly roared at her. "Dammit, Mal, I am like 4 weeks pregnant, I can threaten someone without getting worked up!" Mal roared again and reached a hand forward to gently push Zelena back into her seat with a claw. She glared at Emma until the blonde backed off the porch. The dragon returned to furiously chewing on her toy and Regina sighed, understanding that Maleficent was simply not in the mood to talk.

Zelena watched them walk to the car. The sound was sudden and loud, like a giant crack. All three women turned to Mal as she covered her maw with her claws and roared in pain. Zelena and Regina both raced towards her and Zelena gasped when she saw blood dripping from between the claws. "Mal? Let me see, baby." Mal whimpered and laid her head on the ground, opening it wide so the witch could climb in. Regina walked around the outside, wanting to help but not knowing what to do.

"Don't eat me, dear." Zelena called, walking across the barbed tongue to where the blood was pooling around one of Mal's teeth. "Ugh, love, you need to take a breath mint after this. It smells like burnt rubber in here." The dragon's response was to snap her mouth closed. "Ew! Mal!" Mal opened her mouth again and Zelena punched her in the tongue before going to examine the tooth at the back of her mouth where the blood was pooling. The tooth was cracked and broken. "Regina, hand me a shovel!" The queen conjured one and handed it through the teeth. Zelena took it and pushed it under the tooth. She used all her weight to pull the handle down. The shovel broke but she managed to remove the damaged tooth. It fell to the ground with a soft thud and Zelena climbed out, magically cleaning herself off. Mal's tail started shaking happily and her tongue flicked out to lick at the hole between her teeth. She looked at her chew tire and grabbed and threw it across the meadow.

"There. Better?" Zelena asked. Maleficent purred and laid her head back down, offering her neck for a scratch. "Okay, fine." She smiled as the dragon started purring and squirming, enjoying Zelena's scratching her behind her horns. "You're nothing but a big kitty cat, aren't you, Dragon Queen?" She grinned, knowing exactly the places that Mal loved to be scratched and petted. The blonde loved this, even though she hated to admit it and Zelena was actually surprised that she was showing this side of herself in front of Regina and Emma. "I bet you won't chew on that thing for a week now." Mal let out a deep groan as she rolled onto her side. Zelena stepped back and examined her nails, all of which had been worn down on Mal's scales. She magically fixed them and looked up at Regina. "Thank you. Will that be all?"

Regina looked at Mal, the dragon happily purring away next to her mate. "Yeah. I'll call you later, Mal."

Once they were gone, Zelena went into the house. Maleficent roared and quickly shifted to follow, tackling her onto the couch and cuddling against her.

"What is with you today?" Zelena asked.

"Happy." Maleficent sighed peacefully. "So happy. I don't care who sees it." She turned Zelena's head to look her in the eye. "You make me feel human, Zelena. You make me feel like a childish little girl who's dating the crush of her dreams." She smiled and kissed her witch's lips. "Whoever said villains don't get happy endings can kiss my ass." Zelena snorted when she laughed and quickly covered her mouth. Mal only smiled and buried her face in her neck. "How many times have you eaten today?"

"4."

"Good. We have to make sure our little one is well fed. Would you like a massage?"

Zelena sighed, just thinking of how lucky she was to be with a woman like Maleficent. The dragon was almost too good to be true. She really needed to step up her game. "How about I give you one?"

"No, I offered."

"And I declined and offered my own." Zelena rolled out of her embrace and the dragon rolled onto her stomach, folding her arms beneath her head. The witch magically removed her shirt and bra and set to work. This was how they spent most of their days now, in a relaxed and laid back atmosphere, not doing anything in particular really but enjoying each other's company. Neither needed or work or actually had a job. All they had to do was enjoy themselves. That is until the full force of pregnancy hit.

"Son of a whore!" Zelena sat up in bed, groaning as pain lanced through her swelling belly. "Fuck!" Mal rolled her onto her side and gently massaged circles into her back. "Fuck it all!"

"Zelena, dear, stop cursing." The blonde said gently.

"My stomach is going crazy!"

"It's just pains. They'll go away in a little bit."

"Motherfucker!"

"I fucked the mother. It was a lot of fun." the dragon snickered.

"I have 8 more months of this?!" Zelena gasped, starting to wrap her arms around her stomach in order to alleviate the pain, but just as suddenly as it had come, it was gone and she could breathe easier again. Mal whispered soothing words into her ear and kissed her cheek and temple, lulling her back into sleep. The next morning, her back ached and Mal was kind enough to give her another massage and make breakfast.

"I bet you get tired of doing this." Zelena sighed as Mal pushed some pillows behind her back so she could sit up in bed.

"Of what, dear?"

"Taking care of me. I feel like a child."

"You are my mate and you carry my child." Maleficent took her by the chin and looked into her eyes. "It is my job to care for you and fulfill every need or desire you might have."

Zelena smiled and accepted a kiss on the lips. She still felt like nothing more than a burden to the dragon who hardly left her side. "You know, you can go hang out with Lily and Eric if you want."

"Why would I do that? They call constantly and they're over here half the time anyway." Mal replied, laying next to her on the bed, watching as she ate the blueberry pancakes topped with actual blueberries, whipped cream and a side of bacon and eggs. "You should be resting and relaxing, not listening to their idiocy. Are you bored?"

"Maybe, I suppose."

"Then I'll have to do something about that."

Mal's something turned out to be a drive out to the town line in Zelena's new car.

"What are we doing here?" Zelena asked.

"Your boredom ends now." The blonde grinned as she out on a pair of shades. She fiddled with the heater until her mate was comfortable. Zelena looked up as Lily, Ruby and Eric pulled up cars of their own.

"What's going on?" She demanded. The cars were lined up in the road. Lily and Ruby side by side in the form and Eric and Mal in the back. Mal revved the engine and grinned.

"We're going to have a little car race."

"I said I was bored and the first thing you think of is an all out, extremely dangerous car race through a tiny town like Storybrooke?" Zelena said. She grinned. "Maleficent, you and I are made for each other."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Their little race had not gone as planned. Lily won, being the first to make it to the clock tower and afterwards the group had split up as David and Emma gave chase, starting a whole new race. Considering Mal had actually been taught to drive by Cruella, crazy mad driving Cruella, she easily managed to shake the PoPo. Rather than drive back to the fort, they met at Granny's for lunch, a final suck it to Storybrooke's police force.

"Well that was a fun afternoon." Zelena said as they walked in. She immediately noticed a haggard looking Robin and Roland sitting in a booth. "Mal, why don't you go ahead to the table?"

"Everything okay?" Mal asked.

"Yes, dear. Go." She smiled and walked over to Robin. He glanced up and noticed her growing belly before motioning for her to sit. Roland slid over for her. "I don't believe I ever thanked you for helping me with that whole lost memories nonsense."

"It was no big deal-"

"It was." She said firmly. "You stood up to Maleficent in her most dangerous and hostile form. You protected me. If there is anything I can do to repay you, then please let me know."

Robin looked over at her. "You know, you're not so bad to be around when you're not being all wicked."

"I'm Wicked all day. Every day." She smirked. "And you're not so bad for an honorable thief."

He chuckled. "I need no repayment."

"Have you spoken to Regina?"

"Occasionally, but I know that I will have to do more. For our child."

She nodded. "I wish you the best." She looked at Roland. "May I give a gift to the little one?" He looked up with bright eyes, having gotten over her fear of her a long time ago. "What would you like?"

"I want Gina back." Roland said softly. "And cookies."

"You want Gina? Then you will have Gina. And cookies." She conjured a hot plate of chocolate chip cookies on the table and pulled out her phone to call Regina.

"Zelena. I just heard you were using Storybrooke as a race track."

"Where are you? Are you decent?" Zelena asked.

"I'm at my desk, working. Why?"

"How about a lunch break?"

"With you?"

The witch scoffed. "Of course not. I am granting the wish of a small boy. He would really like for you to say yes."

"Alright then. Fine."

Zelena hopped up, hanging up the cell phone and teleporting her sister to take her seat next to Roland. She was almost mauled by the little boy trying to get a hug.

"Thank you, Lena."

Zelena dipped her head and walked to her own family. Mal raised an eyebrow at her, but she only smiled. A waitress brought over their food and she was touched at the meal her dragon had picked for her. A steak dinner with a side of vegetables and specially made sweet bread. "Oh, this looks amazing."

"Only the best for my mate." Maleficent grinned.

"Dear, I was thinking about the wedding. Can we have it sooner rather than later? Before I balloon up and have to waddle down the aisle."

Mal conjured some kind of small crystal ball and placed it on the table next to her. "Whatever you want for our wedding, just whisper it to the crystal ball."

Zelena quickly picked it up and held it against her lips. "No listening." She commanded. Mal rolled her eyes and put her fingers in her ears. The witch waited a few moments, just to enjoy the sight of the Dragon Queen sticking her fingers in her ears. "Okay." She whispered. The ball reacted almost immediately, purple smoke covering the glass surface. "Okay um, I want it to feel like Oz a bit. Magical and mysterious, with lots of fire and flowers. Ooh, and sweet bread and Mal's favorite dishes. Marked of course, I don't want to be eating gazelle." She glanced up at Mal. The dragon was staring up in the air, waiting patiently for her to finish. "Oh, and a dragon ice sculpture that looks like Mal. That is all." She handed the crystal ball and the dragon actually pulled out a list. Eric and Lily snickered as she quickly whispered the list to the ball and placed it on the table. She burned the list and looked at Zelena.

"And that will be our wedding."

"Now all that's left is to get our wedding dresses."

"And the guest list."

Lily scoffed. "Us four, Ruby and Granny. Who else do we need?"

Zelena shrugged. "Do you have a specific date?"

"Two weeks from today." Mal said firmly.

Zelena nodded. "Two weeks from today."

That night, her thoughts were on the wedding as she and Mal lay together in bed, naked bodies entangled together after a fun shower. Mal was purring and barely awake. Zelena meanwhile, was wide awake, gently stroking of the dragon's arms.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" Maleficent whispered softly.

"Just the wedding. I'm just a little nervous."

"Why?"

"I don't know. A wedding is supposed to be a big day." Zelena turned her head so she could at the blonde's face. Mal's eyes were closed but she was awake. They opened after a moment and she took Zelena by the chin.

"I believe this is real, Zelena. This love, us. You are not at all what I expected, and much more than I could have ever dreamed of. You are a dream come true." She smiled and Zelena quickly wiped away a small tear. "You don't need to be nervous. I am not. We already belong to each other in almost every way. This is merely one more step."

Zelena sighed with a smile. "You are your infinite wisdom are always right."

"I know." She smirked.

"But you probably should've saved that for the wedding vows."

Mal kissed the top of her head and pulled her close. "Hush and go to sleep. I'll think of something equally romantic and lovely before then. I have a way with words, you know."

"Yes you do." Zelena kissed her cheek and buried herself in her dragon's warmth. A sharp pain rippled through her stomach. "Oh bloody hell."

/

Over the next few days, when Zelena wasn't eating, wallowing in pain or working on crafting the perfect wedding dress, she was with her favorite dragon family. Eric called a movie night at the dragon mansion and rented movies that were about them. Stuff like Wicked the musical, The Wizard of Oz, Sleeping Beauty, that sort of thing. Zelena was not too happy about how she was portrayed for the most part, but Mal assured her that their portrayals could not compare to the real thing. As usual her words made Zelena giggle and blush like a foolish girl, the one thing she hated about the dragon's effect on her. There were no bachelorette parties. Maleficent didn't see the point of them and Zelena was usually dealing with stomach problems. Her belly was growing and she already had a little baby bump which both soon to be mothers were proud of. All in all, Zelena felt that she was approaching this thing rather well. That is, until the night before the wedding and she and Mal spent the night apart in order to fulfill some ridiculous superstitious nonsense Lily and Ruby spouted about not seeing the bride before the wedding. She was making any last minute touches on her dress and trying to not throw up when she heard a knock at the door. It was her sister.

"Can I help you?" Zelena asked. Regina was also sporting a baby bump but it wasn't quite as big as Zelena's own. Probably because she wasn't carrying a baby and an egg.

"I just wanted to check on you, see how you were doing." Regina said, looking rather awkward. "I know Mal is gone for the night and I just…" Zelena raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to finish. "Look, I know you hate me, Zelena. I get it. But I want to bury the hatchet."

"You just want to be at Maleficent's wedding." The witch scoffed. The sad look on Regina's face actually made her sad for a moment. She reminded herself that this was the woman who locked her up for 3 months. Then she pictured her mother. Adriana wouldn't have wanted her so cold-hearted. Even if it was towards Regina. She was better than that. "Come in, dear. You'll catch a cold. I just made some hot tea and I have a fire going, so come on." She turned and lead the way into the home. Regina looked around at the new decorations while Zelena poured them some tea. Mal had been painting a lot lately and Zelena had taken a few to hang up in the living room. She brought the tea back into the living room, offered a cup to Regina and sat down with her own. Regina's eyes grazed over to her wedding dress, handcrafted by the witch's own hands. It was a 'pagan' style, sleek ensemble that trailed the ground as she walked and was embroidered with a neckline of emeralds. She simply could not have a wedding dress that didn't have a touch of green.

"I hate to barge in on you like this." Regina said, turning her attention back to Zelena. "Believe me, I don't expect anything from you. I know that we may never be anything close to what true sisters are like. But I would like for us to form some sort of relationship that is more than jealousy and hatred."

Zelena sipped her tea. "I don't hate you, Regina. I just happen to not really like you. And I'm no longer jealous of you. In about 24 hours, my dreams will come true. I'll have my true love and a child and I'll be loved more than I can possibly describe. I don't want or need whatever you have."

"Then can we start over?"

Zelena didn't think she needed to warn the queen about trying to seduce Mal again. Still, she did not forgive easily and she didn't really care if anyone else was at the wedding or not, just as long as her dragon was there. "I'll think about it. You can come to the wedding but I promise that if you make a scene, I will gut you and send your entrails to your son as a birthday present." Regina was clearly fighting back a scowl, but she nodded. Zelena drank some of her tea again and stiffened when she felt a slight streak of pain in her stomach. Her phone rang and she picked it up off the table to answer it. "Hey Love."

"Are you alright, dear?" Mal asked immediately. "I felt the bond. What happened?"

"Just a little pain." Zelena said. "Nothing I can't handle."

"Are you sure? I'll come home and give you a massage if you need it."

"I'm fine." Zelena sighed. "But I miss you. I know it's only been a night, but-"

"I am losing my mind." Mal suddenly growled. "I don't truly understand why this wedding thing is such a big deal. We've already pledged ourselves to each other. Lilith and Ruby are about to rip my hair out. This is the third hairstyle in the past half hour."

"Don't let them rip out anything. I love your hair."

"I won't. Believe me, I love it too." The dragon obviously had a smirk on her lips. She growled at something, probably Lily pulling on her hair.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, dearie. Walking down the aisle."

"I'll see you. Remember, dint be nervous."

"I'm fine. Just slightly worried about vomiting at the altar. The morning sickness is kicking early."

"I wouldn't hold it against you- Ow! Son of a bitch, Lily!" Mal let out a stream of incentives and the line clicked off.

Zelena looked at the phone and smirked as she tossed it to the side. Regina placed her cup back on the table, having finished her tea.

"Thank you." The queen said. "And congratulations on tomorrow."

Zelena merely nodded and walked her to the door. She looked back at her wedding dress and a smile lit up her lips. Tomorrow, all her dreams would come true. She could hardly wait. There was another knock at the door and before she could open it, in burst Tinkerbell. The two had met only a few days ago, bonding over their love of the color green and Zelena felt that she may've found a friend for once. The fairy wasted no time in getting to work on her hair.

Regina, Henry, Emma, and the Charmings approached the designated place in the forest that had been chosen for the wedding. "You know when I said I was invited." Regina said. "That didn't include all of you."

"We wanted to show our support." Snow said. "I think it's nice that Zelena has found a happy ending."

"And Maleficent." Henry added.

Regina scoffed as she ran her hands down her dress, struggling to walk across the soft earth in her heels. "You think everything is nice." The location of the wedding was designated to a shady spot in the forest. The site was quite beautiful and yet so simple and elegant. There was a white arch made to look like two dragons and a white stone walkway with rows of white chairs on either side and small pillars with white flower bouquets on them and black iron braciers lit with colorful dragon fire to complete the arrangement.

"This is beautiful." Snow exclaimed.

Regina rolled her eyes yet again. Nearby was a giant tree that was covered in a large tent that she supposed would house the reception. It was indeed a lovely sight. Part of her, she had to admit, did not want to see Mal married, especially not to her crazy sister. The other part was overjoyed that the dragon was happy. Unfortunately the former emotion was stronger, especially when she knew that at one point she could've been in Zelena's place.

Lily and Ruby were already there, both wearing long, sleek green dresses. Maleficent's former mate, Eric, was there as well wearing a black tux. Regina wondered if this would be the entire wedding party. As far as she knew these were mostly Mal's friends. Zelena hadn't exactly branched off to make friends.

"Who invited you guys?" Lily asked as they approached.

"Zelena." Regina answered. "She said it was alright."

"Just so you know, this is about them today. Not any former rivalries or romances. Got it?"

Regina merely nodded. She sat down to wait for the ceremony to start. Tink and Granny arrived a few minutes later. Followed by Robin and Roland and some of Ruby and Lily's friends. Just before everything was to begin, there was a bright flash of lightning that caused nearly everyone to scream. Out of the light stepped none other than Zeus, the king of the gods himself. Regina had only ever seen pictures of him and yet here he was in the flesh, dressed in a Greek style robe of red and gold colors and a golden leaf circlet on his head.

"Zeus, you made it." Eric said, shaking his head. "You honor us by doing this."

"There will be more surprises to come. I still owe you, Maleficent and Zelena for taking care of Hades for me." Zeus took his place at the head presiding over the ceremony. Then it began. Everyone took their seats as a pair of carriages rode up, both pulled by horses that changed colors, reminiscent of the one seen in the Wizard of Oz movie. The wedding march did not play. Instead it was that same tune that Regina remembered Zelena's music box playing, this time more lively and beautiful that eerie and mystical. Eric received the honor of helping both women out of the carriages and both of them looped their arms through his and he escorted them down the aisle with a big grin on his face. Maleficent was breathtaking. She wore a long white sleeveless dress that left her shoulder bare enough to display her tattoo and was embroidered with diamonds and touch of emeralds. Elegant and yet extravagant with all of the sewn in gems. Very Mal. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, small flowers braided into a few strands. Zelena practically glowed. Her hair was braided into a long braid with white flowers braided in as well and a ring of them resting on the top of her hair. The redhead was visibly trembling in happiness. Both of them seem surprised to see Zeus.

/

Zelena noticed very little once she and Mal stepped in front of Zeus and were told to face each other and take each other's hands. Her dragon was too stunning, burning to brightly in the sunlight for her to focus on anything else.

"You look beautiful." Mal whispered.

"So do you." She returned. She didn't even hear Zeus speaking until he got to the part where he asked who be giving each woman away.

"We will." Both of them looked as their grinning mothers walked together down the aisle. There was gasping from the crowd and Zelena looked at Zeus.

"You didn't really think I would just give you a music box for potentially saving Olympus, did you?" Zeus smirked. Adriana and Cynder took two seats on the front row, smiling brightly at their daughters. This day could not get any better or exciting. "Would the brides like to say their vows at this time?"

"Um, yes." Zelena nodded and looked up at Mal. She forced her voice to cooperate and not crack. Today was not a day for crying, it was one for celebrating. She took a deep breath. "Maleficent, you are my one and only true love. You are the only person I will ever desire." She swallowed thickly and took another breath.

"It's okay, dear." Mal smirked.

"We, um, we've been through a lot since we met. We've literally been to hell and back for each other. Now, I know that I've made mistakes. I will keep making mistakes. You have been forewarned. However, I love you more than anything and I will do anything for you. I consider it an honor to be your lover, your mate, your wife and the other mother of your child." She had to stop or else she would really start bawling. She swore that she would not cry at this thing.

"The honor is mine." Mal said. "When we first met, Zelena, I did not expect much. I certainly did not expect to fall in love with you. And yet, I have. In over 3000 years upon this earth, I have never felt this way about anyone. You are my heart, my soul, my sun, my stars, my fire. Everything. You are my dream come true, my happy ending. It took 3000 years to find you. I won't let you go anytime soon. I love you so much that it makes me crazy. I don't mind it at all because you are the most amazing woman I've ever met. You make me feel...wicked. Perfectly wicked." She smiled and Zelena wiped a few stray tears away with her thumb.

"May we have the rings." Zeus extended his hand to little Roland as he suddenly popped up and handed the god a little black box. Zeus opened it, revealing the two rings that Mal had handcrafted for this occasion. They were small rings, both identical and embedded with the finest jewels the dragon possessed. It was a silver ring with a row of emeralds encircling the band in the center and two rows of tiny amber stones and diamonds meticulously placed on either side of the emeralds. Zelena was sure it had been a painstaking process, but Maleficent was clearly proud of her work. She was only too happy to slide her creation on her mate's finger. Zelena slid the other onto her finger. "Is there anyone here who believes these two should not be wed?" Zeus asked, looking around.

"Is there anyone here with the balls to try it?" Mal whispered with a smirk. Zelena almost snorted.

"You are too silly."

"Ssh, stop whispering. This is a serious occasion."

Zelena glared playfully at her. "You stop it. You're over 3000 and you're acting like a child."

"You're as old as you feel." Both of them looked up at Zeus, who was waiting patiently for them to start bickering. "Sorry."

He only smirked. "I pronounce the two of you wife and wife." Zeus blessed their rings and took a step back. "You may kiss the bride." Zelena smiled and stepped into Mal's arms for a chaste kiss on the lips.

"What the hell was that?" Lily explained.

Mal glared at her. "There are children present-"

Zelena dipped the dragon and kissed her hard. The crowd cheered and the Dragon Queen swooned in her arms. She stood Mal back up and grinned proudly at seeing the dreamy look in her eyes. They were soon tackled to the ground by Lily, Cynder and Adriana and covered in hugs and kisses and congratulations.

"And now!" Eric exclaimed, gaining everyone's attention. "We party!" He lead them to the large tree, removing the tarp to reveal that lanterns had been strung from the branches. It was a beautiful sight in the setting light. He brought out the crystal ball and a dwarven axe, which he used to crush the ball, creating an outpour of magic that created the perfect reception based on the things Zelena and Mal had spoken to it. Large mystical plants burst out of the ground and tables magically appeared, piled high with their favorite foods, drinks and sweets. A group of instruments appeared without players, that started to play themselves and a polished dance floor rose up from the ground. Mal quickly lead her onto the floor to dance. Oh, how they danced. How they partied. How they celebrated. It was a magical affair and Zelena almost couldn't believe that it was all for her and Mal. She danced with her new wife, with her mother, with Cynder, with Eric. Dragons loved to dance and hardly tired. She unfortunately, was very human and very pregnant, so she had to sit down. Her beloved noticed and quickly brought her some food and a drink. While Zelena ate and talked with Robin and Roland and Tink, Mal took to the skies, flying in difficult patterns and doing all sorts of acrobatics.

Zelena looked up and watched. Eric had told her about the mating dance. Mal was showing off her aerial prowess to her mate. The witch had wanted to try and learn so she could fly with her but there was no way she would be able to learn enough in so short a time to be able to fly at Maleficent's caliber. Watching her though, was a sight to behold. When Cynder joined her, it really did take her breath away. Mother and daughter together again, if only for a day.

"So, dear, where will the honeymoon be?" Tink asked, drawing her attention back to the ground. "Are you guys going out of town?"

"Can Maleficent leave?" Robin asked.

Zelena nodded. "Zeus' blessing on her ring will protect us both. She already had everything planned out anyway. We're going to Hawaii."

"Oh, I've heard it's beautiful."

"It is. I can't wait." Zelena smiled. She was very excited to visit another part of the world, although she hoped Mal wasn't going to be fussing over her the entire time. The dragon was at times so caring that she often forgot about herself. The witch vowed then and there that she would always take care of her dragon. The ground suddenly shook as Mal and Cynder landed and shifted back. Mal appeared out of the smoke, clutching a box. It was big and green with holes punched into the side. The blonde grinned as she raced forward to present her mate with her wedding gift. Zelena smiled and handed her her gift as well, a blue tattoo pen and a medium sized box. Mal snatched her gift and giddily and opened the box while Zelena pulled the top off of hers. Inside...were two tiny little kittens. No bigger than her own hand. She recognized the tiny little mane on the male's neck immediately. Mal had given her two Ozian lions, the largest and most fearsome of its kind. Zelena didn't know what to say to such a thing. She was absolutely stunned. Meanwhile, Mal had put down the pen, recognizing that part of Zelena's gift was to give a tattoo like hers from the Arjiki. The other part consisted of a large crown covered in emeralds, jades, and diamonds.

"Zelena?" Adriana whispered, looking at the gift. "Tell me you did not steal the crown of Oz."

"...maybe."

That night, Zelena was sitting on the bed, gently stroking her new pets, when she felt a new kind of smile grace her lips. Mal was twirling around the room, naked except the mounds of jewelry she was wearing, and of course her new crown. Her new tattoos were visible on her feet and she was purring loudly. Her wife. Zelena smirked and looked down at her wedding ring. Her wife.

The wedding ceremony had ended and they were all packed to depart on their honeymoon tomorrow. They weren't concerned with consummating the marriage, considering they'd done so a thousand times already. Lily, Ruby and Eric would joining them on their vacation, seeing as how neither she nor Mal had been out of Storybrooke much. Zelena didn't really care. She was too indescribably happy to care about anything at the moment.

"Maleficent, my love."

"Hmm?" Mal looked over her shoulder from examining her reflection in a mirror.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Zelena took her little kittens away to their bed and climbed into her own. Mal removed her jewelry and her crown, placing it nearby. She got into bed to cuddle with her new wife. "I enjoyed today. Zeus was kind to let us spend it with our mothers."

"Indeed. I couldn't be happier, Zelena. All because of you." Mal kissed her temple.

"All because of you." Zelena scoffed. "We both know I would've never plucked up the courage to talk to you first."

"I am incredibly beautiful. That can be intimidating to a lot of people."

Zelena replied her eyes at her wife's haughty tone, but she smirked anyway. "Alright, now go to sleep. We have an early flight tomorrow and a honeymoon to enjoy."

"After that…" Mal giggled. "Motherhood."
