Once Upon A Happy Beginning

Chapter Nineteen - Six Important Bits

Regina 

"Sorry! Sorry we're late!" I cried bursting through the room my fiancé at my heels. Wow. That still seemed incredible. I'm engaged, I'm actually engaged and getting married to someone who is not my mother's former fiancé. But then again Rumple had a thing with me, my sister and my mother so maybe my family is just messed up on that front. As I slide into my seat between Guyliner and Robin, I whisper towards Emma and her husband a gentle thank you. 

"Robin! It truly is wonderful to see you!" The nun-fairy exclaims. Robin only nods his head politely and gestures to the rest of our little round table. Mother Superior takes this as her chance to continue: "Do we need introductions? Well, I'm Mother Superior, the head nun in Storybrooke but back at home in the Enchanted Forest, I'm known as Blue. The Blue Fairy, and I was the oldest mentor type fairy of them all. I'm also Emma's fairy godmother."

"Well, my name is David Nolan. Or Prince James. Or King James, or King David, or Charming... You know what just call me David. I'm co-Sheriff here, kind of like the person that makes sure everyone is following the law, with my daughter Emma."

"And I'm David's wife. Snow White. Mother of Emma and Neal, he's two, but please just call me Snow."

"I'm Henry Mills. Emma's my biological mother, but Regina's my adoptive mother. That basically means that I have Emma's blood but I was raised by Regina during a time when Emma couldn't look after me."

"Zelena. 'Gina's elder half-sister, we share a mother. I have a daughter called Robin, and I won't go into details on her parentage, it might be more complicated than Henry's."

"You all know me, Emma Swan-Jones, I mean I wasn't conscious those few days on Tortuga, don't worry Dad, I'm sure we'll come to that, but I know my husband, Killian, and you're probably bored of hearing my name."

"Thanks love." His voice drips with sarcasm as he smiles at Emma. They're so beautifully in love, I can't help but wonder if Robbie and I are like that.

"Love you too, babe." She pecks him quickly on the lips before the One-Handed Wonder introduces himself.

"Killian Jones. But you might have heard of me by my more colourful moniker, Hook. Captain Hook, that is. I have a fine lass out in the harbour, I'll have to show her to you Captain, she's a beauty, The Jolly Roger that is."

"Okay, okay, no more boat talk. You and Guyliner Number Two over here will be on for hours." I yawn playfully, "Madam Mayor, Regina Mills. I was the Evil Queen back home, but things happened and I became more pure at heart."

"Robin Hood. Giney's fiancé. Hook still keeps the title as the only man to be brought back from death, I never actually died. I'll tell you all that later."

"Regina! Robin! Congratulations, you two!" Ugh. Trust Snow to be all like that.

"Yes, yes. You can congratulate us all at Granny's after. Drinks on us. But, yes, Robin and I are getting married."

I feel his arm snake around my waist dragging me close to him. Elizabeth (You see, it helps when that was what your son adored growing up), introduces herself: "Good morning. Or is it good afternoon? My name is Elizabeth Swann, and this is Jack Sparrow, he'll be too drunk to introduce himself. I don't really know how or why we're here, but we are. We're trying to get back to our time, it was 1728 and I really need to find my lover William Turner."

"And we will help you find him." We've circled back to the nun-fairy. 

I don't really listen to everything. Just the important bits.

Important Bit One

"Wait... stop before we start. Emma, darling, you were unconscious?" 

"Dad, really it wasn't a massive problem."
