Storybrooke, many years later...

Emma: As my lips crushed against Regina's, everybody in the room clapped, with beautiful smiles and glittering tears falling from their cheeks.

My parents held each other's hand as their eyes screamed the joy that scene created in them. They were so happy for me, because for the first time in their lives, they saw what it looked like to have a daughter following her heart, having her lips cut into a beautiful genuine smile and eyes flushing with true happiness and love.

When the ceremony came to an end, me and Regina greeted our guests with the happiest of smiles.

"Regina!" Robin screamed, the young blonde girl was now in her twenties and had a bow and arrow with her.

"Robin! Oh my God! Look at you! You're so grown up!"

"Yes, it's been a long while, auntie!" She said, hugging my inked hair wife.

"Regina..." Zelena sighed, as she prepared herself to hug her sister, deeply.

"I'm so glad you could make to the wedding! We didn't think you could find a way to get here..."

"Well, we borrowed Jefferson's hat." Zelena confessed.

"Speaking of which, Emma..." Jefferson stood from the crowd and complimented me with a smile.

"Jefferson!" I sighed, deeply.

"Hello, savior...I am so happy you could finally believe in magic!"

"Yeah, it took me a long while, but I finally did." I said, hugging him and later, his daughter, Grace, who was all grown up as well.

"Yeah, I am also happy she did!" August also came up and stared at me with his blue eyes burning in jubilee and his lips cut into a smile.

"August!" I hugged my bff and the two of us stared at one another for a couple of seconds.

"Regina..." The Evil Queen came closer to us, with Robin Hood standing by her side, Roland, a grown up young man, and another young "prince".

"Oh, dear, you made it." Regina said, to her once evil counterpart.

"Off course I did, I couldn't miss a Swan Queen wedding. I am happy for you, I truly am."

"Well, I'm the one who can be a little unhappy, I hope the blonde lady doesn't steal my beloved version of you, Regina." Robin Hood noticed, with a funny devilish smirk. He was hilarious and not so much as the other Robin everyone knew and loved.

"Don't worry, I won't. My queen fits in sensible pant suits, Robin." I said, holding Regina's hip.

"Oh, Roland...Is that you?!" Regina said.

"Yes, it's me..." A roughed strong voice confirmed.

"Jesus, you're...so big!" Regina hugged the wide man with strong arms and tall body.

"And who is this? Don't tell me..."

"Oh, Regina, meet my son...Daniel!"

Regina's eyes burst in bittersweet tears, as she stared at her once evil counterpart's son, he took after Robin Hood with his beautiful blue eyes and after the Evil Queen with the inked hair.

"It's so nice to meet you, Daniel..." Regina sighed, as warmth touched her heart with a bittersweet feeling.

"Nice to meet you too, I heard many tales about you!"

We all laughed, gently.

As we greeted all of our guests, from Frankenstein to Little Red Riding Hood, we joined in Granny's, as usual, for one supper after a long adventure!

We gathered ourselves in the tears and smiles that cover any good wedding, the music in the jukebox that looked so much like the 80's and tasted Regina's lasagna that was way better than Granny's excuse for one!

Apple pie was on the table as well, the warmth of it filled my belly, as well as the air around us.

"This is so good..." We all told ourselves, as we tasted all of those delicious tasty wonders.

Snow lifted herself from the table and stared at the very large assemble of iconic guests with a beautiful smile and a glass in her hand.

"I'd like to share a few words!" She said, as everyone stared at her, blissfully. "I can't express how happy I am to see my daughter with the love of her life! It feels like we finally became the family we were always meant to be! And I couldn't be prouder! I'd like you to raise your glasses and join me in a toast, as we wish for these two women to have the happiest of lives, to always find each other and never, but ever, doubt their love, again! To Emma and Regina!"

"To Emma and Regina!" Everyone screamed as the glasses of apple cider crushed against one another.

After the wonderful speech my mother gave us, it was time to open the presents.

We received so many things, from golden tiaras and rings to spell books and many other gifts!

Henry gave us something so special, an album filled with pictures with me, Regina and him! It was so beautiful! I couldn't help but bring him to my warm embrace and cover him with kisses as if he were a little boy again!

But the most allusive of surprises was Zelena's! She gave us a small box with a lace wrapped around it.

"What's this?" Regina asked, as she shacked the little box.

"Oh don't just stare, sis, open it!" She said, with her lips covered by a smile.

Regina obeyed her sister's request, and as she opened it, me and her gazed upon a small glittering transparent bean with small blue sprinkles on it.

"A magic bean? Are you serious?" I said, not holding my grudge on that present.

Snow looked at Zelena as if she were screaming "What the hell are you thinking?".

"Zelena, I don't understand..."

"Oh, why are you so unhappy?! It's for your honeymoon!" The red- haired witch explained.

"But...This thing will take us to another realm and coming back might not be easy!" Regina explained.

"Oh...Booh oh! That will be an adventure! What, were you expecting to spend honeymoon in here?! That's not even a bit romantic, especially after everything you've been through! What about all those things you said at the wedding, that our stories came to an end but our lives have just begun? This will be a marvelous Swan Queen adventure, travelling through the realms, visiting Agrabah's castles and ending in the beautiful Poseidon's seas!"

"Well....She has a point. We deserve an epic and memorable honeymoon, Emma." Regina confessed, with her eyes wrinkled, as she stared at me.

"But what about coming back?"

"Oh you'll find a way, you'll always find a way! Trust me!" Zelena said.

"Are you guys okay with this?" I asked, staring at Henry, Drizella and my parents.

"Whatever makes you happy, makes us happy, mom! And Zelena is right, you could use an adventurous honeymoon!" Henry said, holding Drizella's hand as she smiled back at us.

"Yes, we'll take care of the sheriff station for you." David said, as he and Snow finally came to terms with the plan.

"Oh, that will be a chance for me to use the golden sheriff star!" Neal screamed in jubilee, he may not be a boy anymore but he certainly looked like one.

"Okay, then...Let's go...A wonderful honeymoon awaits!" I said, gazing upon Regina's brown eyes as she smiled back at me.

A new adventure was ahead of us. Onefilled with tales of wonder, magic and adventure, as our love turned itselfinto one more of the famous golden fables that inhabit the most legendary oftales!
