Emma stood up and began to shake Killian quickly grabbed her hand and she knew she could get through a small speech. Emma tapped her glass and instantly received everyone's attention
"Firstly, me and Killian would like to thank everyone for being here to help our baby girl celebrate her big day! But when Hope asked me to say a few words, I was terrified! But then I looked at her face and was thrown back all those years ago to see a 4 year old Hope begging me and her father to play dress up, unluckily for Killian he often found himself squished into one on of my gowns (not that he didn't love it).
Hope, me and your father couldn't be prouder of who you've become. You faced your demons and came out stronger and now your all set to face a new adventure. Just make sure to call your father once a week, he's already having separation issues!"
Both Hope and Killian were in floods of tears and so were most of the guests.
After a few more speeches from Daltons Dad, Darling and an unexpected speech from Charming Hope was finally able to make her way over to her crew who seemed to be having more fun than they'd had since their first voyage together.
They all sat around a circular table that Hope had specially laid for them (their centre piece was a small barrel of rum) and couldn't look happier if they'd tried. Hope was shocked when she noticed one of Daltons cousins sat on Sams lap although she didn't stay there long after she had seen Hope sit down beside them.
The crew were all made up Hope had made some time to see them as they'd presumed she be far to busy with her Navy men or some random royal people she had to invite. But they all secretly knew no matter how hard Dalton tried to make Hope an uptight royal he would fail at every hurdle because they knew that Hope was her well and truly her fathers daughter with a few drops of her mother here and there.
"Your majesty, you look absolutely beautiful!" They all cheered but Hope stuck her tongue out at them quickly popping off the lid to a bottle of rum
"There she is!" Ronnie laughed "we were afraid you'd gone all prom and proper!"
"Like that's going to happen!" Hope snorted before throwing back a long line of shots to prove her point.
"So what do you think of Jackie now she I mean he is Ronnie?" Sam smiled as he tumbled over his words trying his hardest not to be offencive, a few weeks after the curse had broken Jackie had come out and told everyone she no longer wanted to be a woman but wanted to be a man instead and everyone supported her transition.
"Honestly, if I wasn't married I wouldn't say no!" She winked but making sure she put emphasis on the word married, it wasn't that she didn't love her crew but sometimes a few of the more rowdy of the bunch needed to be reminded that some of them didn't have someone at everyone port.
There fun was cut short when Dalton pulled her out and led her over to some royals he did business with.
Throughout the entirety of their half an hour long conversation Hope said around 4 words as the topic of their conversation was just how hard it was to run a kingdom. But Hope didn't really have anything to contribute to that conversation other than she saw how stressed it made Dalton.
Luckily Regina had saved Hope from that boring conversation and taken her back to the family table so she could inform her that their family was about to expand as Neal and his new girlfriend Zara were expecting and Chloe had taken Daniel back and they were to be wed next summer.
"So we've got a lot to look forward to!" Snow squealed.
"When do you give him one?" Regina laughed as she flicked her eyes over to Dalton
"Well I guess we're trying? But nothings official!" Hope blushed fully aware both her father, brother and grandfather were listening.
Hope and her family sat around the table for a short while before they were joined by Dalton and Darling.
Dalton asked Hope if it would be ok for his sister to move in following her ongoing divorce. Darling had found out Elijah had been cheating on her with the woman who tended to the reindeer when Kristoff was unavailable. But of course Hope couldn't say no to the plea of her husband, her best friend and her goddaughter
Dalton took her hand and led her to the floor for their first official dance as husband and wife.
*Heart on fire by Scott Thomas*
"Was it everything you hoped it'd be my dear?"
"Yes, being here with you and my- our family it's perfect!" She beamed as he span her around.
"I can't believe how well behaved Hades has been!" Dalton laughed
"I know! Now I don't have to deal with the dead!" She smiled
Hades proved to be as good as Zelena always claimed he could be for the rest of the night. In fact he even danced with the family before helping carry a very drunk Daniel out towards the end.
After a while of being paraded around the ballroom Hope sat herself back down with her family and she couldn't help but notice Dalton looked awfully shifty almost as if he was up to something and of course he was.
He, Sam and Ronnie made their way up to the 'stage' of you could even call it that it was a few tables they'd pushed together so they had some night over everyone else
"Can I have everyone's attention please!" Dalton weakly ordered but nobody seemed to hear him, Hope thought it was sweet that he had tried to be all authoritative but it just wasn't working for him so Hope brought out her bossy side (not that it was ever really in) and yelled for everyone to shut up and they did.
Dalton winked at Hope making her blush before he continued
"As your all now fully aware it is my dream to be the fourth Jonas Brother and as much as she'll tell you all she hates it... Hope absolutely loves it!" He laughed as Hopes eyes grew wide watching Sam and Ronnie throw on their guitars
"So my dear your first wedding present is another one of my special concerts you love to hate!" He winked blowing her a kissWe go together
Better than birds of a feather, you and me
We change the weather, yeah
I'm feeling heat in December when you're 'round me
I've been dancing on top of cars and stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark, can't get enough
You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain
"He really does this all the time?" Emma laughed
"All the time!" Hope laughed
And, baby, you know it's obvious
I'm a sucker for you
You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly
I'm a sucker for you, yeah
Any road you take, you know that you'll find me
I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things
No one knows about you (about you) about you (about you)
And you're making the typical me break my typical rules
It's true, I'm a sucker for you, yeahFor the rest of the night Hope was arguably the happiest she had been in her life. Darling insisted Hope throw the bouquet when she did she couldn't believe who caught it.
Darling had caught the bouquet.
Her father was most impressed that she had caught it he claimed it was a 'sign' that she was supposed to be with someone else and Hope unintentionally helped her new father in law show Darling that.
At the last stroke of midnight the bride and groom made their way out of the castle and headed home. Unfortunately they weren't able to have a honeymoon due to Dalton being the king and having other more important things to deal with. Hope however didn't care as she had her special day and was glad she could get back to yelling at the men of the navy.
