Emma's POV
I bite my lip in concentration, trying to follow the firefly glowing across the field. It blended with the starry sky and with it's other flying friends but I kept my hard gaze set on it. Just as I think I see Dad's flicker mind fizzles out making my Dad laugh.

"Mine's still going strong!"he laughs pointing out his little racer. I roll my eyes and push him over so he only rolled to the side, my mom just laughs behind us.

Tonight my family and I were having a picnic to celebrate no villains for a full year. Regina and Robin had brought along Roland, along with Henry, then Neal, my parents, me and Killian. At the moment me and Dad were seeing who's lightning bug could stay lite the longest.

He won. It wasn't fair. Killian is here.

I hear his voice before I see him, his sharp Irish accent slicing through the silent night. I can't help the smile that cracks it's way onto my lips as I stand up, my back to my fiancé.

Coming up behind me he slides his hands around my waist bringing me closer to his toned chest. "Hello love."he whispers into my ear sending a wave of heat down my back. Kissing my cheek lightly he turns me around to face him, getting a better grip on my waist.

"You miss me?"he asks cocky with an eye brow raised. I smile while taking his new look all in. Instead of a collared shirts he wore frequently he would wear a plain colored t-shirt and today he was sporting a blood red one. Very good color for him I must add.

His bright, blue eyes almost seemed a little lighter making his dark hair and slightly scruff POP! His lips were what caught my attention. So soft, warm and inviting almost, if I wasn't in front of my family....forget it.

I kiss him slowly feeling a sensational burst of joy rush through every fiber of my body. He chuckles into my lips and kisses me back with the same amount of passion. It was truly amazing how we balanced each other out.

He slightly pulls back feeling my sudden mood change. Raising an eyebrow his eyes scan my face, trying to get a read on me. "Are you alright Emma?"he asks gently, almost too afraid to ask.

I can't help but smile feeling tears of udder joy fill my eyes. I quickly nod and kiss him again,"Never better." He smiles and kisses my forehead,"Good to hear, love." 

Sliding his hand into mine he leads us over towards where the rest of the family sat. My Mom looks up and sees the warm sight making a bright smile light up her face.

"Glad to see you decided to join us."she chuckles making every ones attention snap to us. Regina smirked while Robin smiled mischievously at Killian and my Dad's jaw was locked in an intense inside battle. I guess he was still trying to comprehend us?

I roll my eyes and sit beside Henry pulling Killian down behind me."If we didn't you wouldn't of left any food for us." I laugh and rub Henry's head. He rolls his eyes and mock smiles pushing my hand away from his hair. "Not the hair Mom."he grumbles fixing his dark locks back into place.

We all laugh at Henry's sudden teenage ways and begin to pass around the food. We had a mixture of Granny's, homemade dishes, and of course Regina's apple pie. The irony.

Henry laughs at something Dad says while Robin kisses Regina on the cheek gently making Roland scrunch his face in disgust. Mom plays with now 2 year old Neal making the cutest smile erupt on his face while Killian watches in awe. But among all these different emotions I can't help but give one all my attention.

Peace.

Peace that there was no villain lurking just around the corner or no one's life was in danger. A peace that got rid of my jacked up past and let me focus on the future I was building with Killian. A peace that I had fought for for more than 2 years and finally had. Like when you get a new toy you've been dying for and your so excited you don't know what to do with it.

This was my situation.

I look up at Killian who was presently laughing at something Robin had said. My back was against his chest with his hand wrapped loosely around my stomach as he leaned on the neighboring tree.

He looks down at me with bright red cheeks from laughing and his eyes crinkled in the most adorable way. I smile at him making his face brighten up as he kisses my forehead. Leaning down his lips find my ear sending a shiver down my back.

"I love you."

I can't fight back the smile that finds its way onto my lips. I hum a reply and snuggle deeper into his arms,"I love you too." I whisper back. My parents share a look while Henry rolls his eyes continuing his game of patty cake with Neal.

Dad suddenly smirks and looks up at us,"Who's up for a game?"he asks with the smallest amount of mischievousness lingering in his voice. I grin, this was going to be fun.

We all exchange glances and mumble our agreements. He smiles proudly before quickly pushing Henry over and jumping up, dashing out to the field with the dopest grin on his face. "YOUR IT!!"he yells behind his back.

Henry sits back up in utter disbelieve before smirking and tagging Robin. "Robin's it!!"he yells chasing after my Dad. At this we all scramble to get to our feet before Robin manages to catch us.

Splitting up in different directions we all run for ours lives, dogging hands that reached out to us. Yet somehow after everyone had been tagged I had managed to avoid attention. I spoke too soon.

Strong arms wrap around my stomach and twirl me around making a laugh burst from my mouth. "Killian put me down!!" I say between laughs as my world spun even more. He laughs and finally settles me on my feet facing him.

The world was blurry and my head throbbed but I didn't care. Everything was almost perfect...dare I say even perfect. Killian settles his forehead against mine as we both take in gasp of air. The rest of the crew had retreated to the other side of the field and started up a new game.

He chuckles again and kisses my temple making my stomach twist into unknown knots. Then I feel it, a single wet tear slowly find its way down my cheek. Killian's mood suddenly changes as he cups my cheek and wipes the tear away with his thumb. "Swan, are you alright? Did I hurt you?"he asks with worried etched in his oh so hypnotizing eyes.

I smile breathlessly and nod leaning my forehead back on his. "I'm fine....I'm fine."I say again reassuring him. He burrows my eyebrows clearly not convinced,"Emma...please."he whispers caressing each word with warmth and love. I look up into those blue, dazzling eyes and smile,"Everything is perfect and for once...I have a family."

He smiles lazily and slowly closes his eyes, relishing in our small moment of peace as my finger tips played with his hair. I exhale a content sigh and slowly shut my eyes as well, leaving my hands gently on his chest. "I'm glad to hear that, love."he barely whispers warming the pit of my belly.

His hand and hook rested on my waist slightly bringing me close to his warm body. "Get a room!!"Henry yells from across the field. We both remove our foreheads and let out gasping-for-air laughs. Killian cuts me short with a sweet yet deep kiss that left us both discombobulated.

He smirks and kisses my cheek before tagging my shoulder with a shove. "Emma's it!!"
