Ch56 - Pancakes Pt3
I smiled, before trying to think of any reason; my dad would have, to be acting the way he is right now...
What the hell was going on? I turned to face Henry, before I spoke.
"Hey kid, has your grandpa said anything; about what's bugging him?"
Henry shook his head, before answering.
"He came to the loft, but I didn't hear him; because I was in the middle of author experiments, and then he came charging in. He mentioned something about looking for his wallet, because grandma wanted to look at venues"
I nodded, before speaking again.
"Ok" I looked at Killian, before continuing. "Maybe we should consider, postponing the wedding; I know, we shouldn't, but I can't take much more of my dad acting like this"
Killian nodded, before placing his arms around me; before speaking.
"If that's what you want love, then we'll postpone"
I smiled, before leaning up; I placed my lips on his cheek, before speaking again.
"Ok, let's go tell them"
We made our way downstairs, heading for the exit; I could hear muffled conversation, as we approached my parents.
I spoke.
"Mom, dads right; maybe...maybe postponing the wedding, is the best thing; until we know, that the Black Fairy can't interrupt"
My mom spoke.
"What if we can't, stop her?"
I guess, there's a possibility; I tried to choose my words carefully, as I answered.
"Well...then it would be a really short marriage anyway" I stepped closer to Killian, before continuing. "We love each other, we want to do this; when it's right, not out of fear, and not because we think we might die. But because, we will know; it's the right time"
My dad smiled softly, as my mom moved closer to hug me; I could sense my dad was still holding back, so I spoke.
"Dad, do you want to talk?"
He nodded, before I stepped closer toward him; before linking my arm with his. We walked ahead of Killian, Henry and my mom; I sighed softly, before speaking.
"Dad, what's going on? Is this really about you not liking the venues, or Killian?"
He sighed, before answering.
"Emma, honey; no, I'm sorry that I've been so dismissive, and I can't wait to walk you down the aisle. But you have to admit, between Granny's and this place; they aren't exactly fit, for a royal wedding. And you need to be married, in a place far more grander"
I sighed, before opening my mouth to speak.
"Dad..."
He laughed, before he continued.
"You can deny it all you want Emma, but you're royalty. You've always been royalty, and you always will be; and I also know that Hook has changed"
I smiled, before speaking.
"Yeah he has"
My dad smiled softly, before continuing.
"I'm happy that you've found your true love; even if it's with a Pirate"
I laughed softly, before speaking.
"Thanks dad, and next time; talk to me, before you implode"
He laughed, before speaking.
"I'll keep that in mind, now; what do you say to a family dinner at Granny's?"
I laughed, before speaking.
"Oh, so it's ok to have dinner there; but not my wedding?"
He grinned, before placing his hand on the back of my head; he kissed me on the forehead, before turning around to face my mom again.
She walked towards us, as she reached out to pull us into a hug; she kissed my dad on the cheek, before kissing my forehead.
She spoke.
"I still can't believe, our baby's getting married"
I smiled, before speaking.
"Well you better start, believing it; because it's happening"
She smiled, as she linked her arm through my dads; I fell back slightly, before reaching out to place my hand in Killian's as we made our way to Granny's.
Henry walked ahead of us, his head down; as he looked at his phone, we walked inside. My parents walked towards our usual booth, I moved to join them; only to be stopped by Killian.
I looked at him, before opening my mouth to speak.
"Killian, what's..."
He looked at me, before placing his lips on mine; in a quick kiss, but before we got lost in it he pulled back. I looked at him, before speaking.
"Not that I mind, but what was that for?"
He smiled, before speaking.
"Do I need an excuse, to kiss my future wife?"
I grinned, before speaking again.
"No, you don't; but I think it's only fair, that I get to kiss my future husband"
With that, I placed my lips on his; before pulling away, to join my parents. My mom smiled at me, before speaking.
"Shall we order? Or do you want a bit more time, so you can; you know..."
My eyes widened, before I spoke.
"Mom!..."
My dad spoke.
"Snow, don't encourage them; especially in front of Henry"
My mom laughed, as she glanced at Henry; who was still looking at his phone, before speaking.
"Lighten up Charming, if our daughter; wants to kiss her true love, who are we to stop her?"
I heard my dad laugh softly, before speaking.
"What's to stop me, from kissing you?"
I groaned, as I felt my face heat up; why did they have to be, so...embarrassing? My mom laughed softly, before speaking.
"Nothing, but what was it; you said about Henry and not wanting to do anything in front of him?"
My dad laughed, before kissing her on the cheek; my phone buzzed, it was Regina. I answered, before listening to what she was saying. I sighed, before ending the call.
I spoke.
"That was Regina, she wants us to meet her at the station"
My dad nodded, before standing up; my mom moved to stand beside him, we made our way to the station. When we got there, Regina was already inside.
She spoke.
"Zelena and I, had a bit of a fight in the mines; and when I followed her, that's when we discovered the crystals. Unfortunately it's when we also discovered the Black Fairy and Gideon; and that's when her powers were used to darken the crystals. And now, her magic, is going to be used to weaponise the crystals, as she's going to need them for the Final Battle"
Before I could say anything, Regina continued.
"Before the Black Fairy dismissed us, she triggered something; all because my sister wanted to prove herself, and before you say anything. I told her, if she wanted to be on top; she had to go back to Oz, before she makes things worse for us. And now we have to clean up her mess"
I spoke, while trying to process everything.
"She did what?"
My mom looked at Regina, as she spoke.
"You've got to be kidding me"
Regina answered.
"Unfortunately, I'm not"
Killian spoke.
"How is it, even when your sister; isn't the villain, that we're fighting, she's still the villain that we're fighting"
Regina spoke.
"Believe me, I had it out with her; she will no longer be a problem"
My dad spoke.
"Do we even know, what the Black Fairy needs the crystals for?"
Regina answered.
"To start the Final Battle, so she says"
Henry spoke this time.
"And, has she done it? Has it started?"
She looked at him, as she answered.
"I don't know, Henry. But we'll figure it out"
My dad spoke again.
"Have you gotten anywhere, with that wand?"
Regina sighed, before speaking.
"Unfortunately, I got a little sidetracked; but now, that my family issues, are under control. I'm back on it"
Another voice spoke, it was Zelena; she came into view; as she spoke.
"Maybe not as under control, as you'd like"
She placed Robin down, as Regina spoke.
"What are you doing here? I thought we agreed, you were better off in Oz"
Zelena answered.
"No. You agreed, and I was going to go; but then I changed my mind"
Regina spoke.
"Why?l"
Zelena answered.
"Because, despite what you may think; there's nothing for me in Oz, anyone who cared for me there now hates me. Look I know, you and I aren't exactly the sisters that our mothers wanted us to be but...you're all I've got Regina. Going down to those mines, was foolish and arrogant. And I'm sorry, but...I think I can help now"
My mom spoke.
"What do you mean?"
Zelena spoke.
"The Black Fairy used my magic, to turn those fairy crystals dark; so...my magic is still tethered to it"
Killian spoke.
"Well, how does that help us?"
Zelena spoke again.
"Because it also means, that we can destroy it. With this" She lifted something out of her bag, I spoke. "What's that?"
She continued.
"Something, I picked up from Oz; via tornado"
Regina spoke.
"And what, will it do?"
Zelena answered.
"Destroy my magic"
Regina stepped forward, before placing her hand on Zelena's shoulder; Zelena smiled softly, before speaking.
"Please, let me make things right"
I watched as my parents stepped forward, my mom spoke.
"Alright, but you won't do it alone"
I spoke.
"She's right, I'll go with you"
Regina spoke.
"As will I, we'll be with you every step of the way"
Zelena smiled, before thanking us; as she lifted Robin, before leaving...
