The wedding march played and everyone in the church stood. Storybrooke didn't have a very big one since it was small town and so with everyone packed inside, it was very crowded. Henry had to stand on his tiptoes to see who the bride was coming down the aisle.
He found an opening between two wedding goers and crouched down to look through it. A tall woman in a tight white dress walked down the aisle, clutching a bouquet of roses. He was too far down to see her face, though. Frowning, he straightened up and turned to the altar.
Everyone sat down but Henry stayed standing. No one seemed to notice. He stared at the bride and groom as they held hands and smiled at each other.
Robin and Zelena.
This was a nightmare.
"Does anyone have any objection to these two joining together in holy matrimony?" the priest asked, looking up from his big red book.
"I do!" Henry raised his hand, jumping up and down. "I object! Robin should be marrying my mom, not her."
No one paid him any attention. He looked around but didn't even see his mother. Where was she? If he got her to go up there, Robin would reconsider. Robin would know he'd rather spend the rest of his life with her, with them.
"Do you Zelena take Robin to be your lawful wedded husband..." the priest started.
"No!" Henry climbed out of the pew and darted down the aisle. "Don't do it!"
Zelena beamed. "I do."
"And do you, Robin, take Zelena to be your lawful wedded wife..."
Henry tugged on Robin's arm but he continued to be ignored. "Please don't do this, Robin. Please."
"I do," Robin said, breaking Henry's heart.
"No..."
The priest continued: "Then by the power vested in me by the State of Maine, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
As Robin leaned in, Henry let out a yell and blacked out...
Henry sat up, drenched in sweat and panting. The room was still dark and he had to blink a few times to adjust his eyes. Next to him, Robin and Regina slept in the same bed. It was narrow but he held her close, allowing them to fit together. His head was buried in her hair and she had a soft smile on her face. Seeing them together made Henry smile.
Turning his head, Will slept in the other bed and Little John in the bed across the way. Red and Granny had put up a curtain around their beds, but he assumed they were asleep as well. Hook was still sound asleep, Emma curled up on his chest. But she raised her head, frowning. "Henry? Are you okay?"
"Bad dream," he replied. "Why aren't you asleep?"
She motioned toward Hook. "I'm just catching cat naps. I won't sleep until I know he's
fine."
"Oh." Henry slipped from the bed and approached hers. "I don't want to go back to sleep just yet. Can I sit with you?"
"Of course. Company seems nice right now." Emma sat up, putting Hook's head on her lap as she ran her fingers through his hair.
Henry took the seat next to the bed. "How did you two meet?"
