Two Months Later

Running up the steps of the family courthouse in Storybrooke, Robin, Alice, and Lily hurry to meet up with Tinkerbell and Killian to make Lily's adoption by Robin and Alice official.

"Sorry, sorry we're late," Robin says, a bit out of breath.

Killian smiles at his new daughter-in-law of less than 24 hours and says, "It's okay. We checked in with the court scheduler and the judge is running a bit behind this morning. Apparently, according to the scheduler, the judge has a bit of a hangover from a wedding he attended yesterday."

"Oh good - good that he's running late, not good that he has a hangover from our wedding. We forgot to set the alarm for this morning and Lily woke us up by banging on a kitchen pot with a wooden spoon. And then we had to put out a small fire and clean up some water because my wife decided to throw a fireball at her for the rude awakening and the kid threw one back and I threw water on both of them and the burning carpet," Robin explained.

Tinkerbell and Killian both chuckled picturing the antics that ensued in their household that morning, especially knowing Alice's tendency for having a short fuse in the morning. They knew there would probably be more mornings like that in the future for the family.

"We should head in," Tinkerbell said and turned to head into the courthouse. The others followed her.

About a half hour later, they were called into the judge's chambers. Blue, as the social worker, was already there with the judge, August Booth/Pinocchio. After a short ceremony cementing Alice and Robin's promise to raise Lily the right way and keep her safe, and signing all the paperwork, Judge Booth proclaims them a family - the Hood-Jones family. Everyone cheers and the new family, Tinkerbell, Killian, Blue, and August head to Granny's Diner to celebrate the adoption with the rest of their family and friends.

At the diner, Regina is talking to Tinkerbell and Killian about Robin and Alice's wedding the day before.

"Speaking of weddings, how goes the planning for yours?" Regina asks.

"It's going," Killian says.

"Yeah it's going," Tinkerbell agrees.

"Sounds like a few problems or disagreements are going on," Emma says, walking up to the trio. "Wedding planning issues?"

"Yes. We're having a bit of trouble agreeing on a few things," Tinkerbell tells her.

"Like what?" Regina asks.

Killian starts listing them off, "Theme - which I've been informed we must have, colors, attire, location, food, music, you get the idea."

"So basically everything," Emma says with a laugh.

"Yes," Tinkerbell says.

"Okay so who's fighting who on what?" Emma asks.

"He won't give an opinion on anything. I ask for his opinion and all he says is 'whatever you want love I'm good with'. It's frustrating as hell," Tinkerbell replies.

"Well seeing as you keep changing your mind on things every five minutes that is frustrating as hell for me. I've told you I will wear whatever you want, marry you wherever you decide, eat whatever you plan, and so on, I just want to marry you. I don't care about any of the other stuff," Killian tells his fiancée.

Emma and Regina chuckle at the couple's argument. Emma says, "Ah this argument sounds very familiar."

"What sounds familiar, luv?" Emma's husband, Killian/Hook, asks, walking over to them.

"The argument these two lovebirds are having in regards to their wedding," Emma tells her husband.

"Let me guess - she keeps changing her mind and he won't give an opinion," Hook says with a smirk.
