This chapter is dedicated to Georgina Callander and all the other victims of the Manchester Attack, as well as those in Bangkok and Marawi yesterday. I didn't know her personally but the Once fandom lost a precious soul way too soon. My heart is broken and my deepest sympathies go out to everyone affected.

Hate is trying to divide us, and make us turn on each other we can't let it. Tell someone you love them, give someone helping hand. Smile at someone. Love will win.

"If we all stand strong together, there is no way we can fall."

The Queen didn't want to open her eyes. She was scared that if she did then she would discover this was some cruel dream. She was scared that if she opened her eyes she would not be stood in a simple cream Grecian wedding dress. She was scared to look in the mirror and see her reflection, to see the audacious, cunning Queen. The woman who crushed hearts with little thought. Who had deprived so many of happiness? She was still the Queen, that title was a lot harder to shrug than her Evil Moniker, she had found her soulmate in the thief, and was about to marry him. She still doubted that she deserved this.

"You look stunning" looking up into the mirror she saw Regina's glowing smile, they had been communicating ever since Regina's return to Storybrooke following the defeat of the Black fairy, . The Queen matched it, not knowing how much she needed to see her.

"Dear, we always look stunning"

Regina rolled her eyes, knowing that sarcasm was their way of trying to laugh off their fear

"You're me dear, I know you're nervous, I get it, this is a huge day. Especially for us. We are both so used to being alone. We have been hurt in love. We thought we would never belong- hell we even tried to destroy ourselves. You are not evil anymore. You, we weren't evil in the first place we were just lost and misunderstood. We wanted to be loved so much, to be special, that we ended up pushing it away. Don't do that now. Not today. Life is too fucking short to doubt are love for other people. Tomorrow is another day, we are both too aware of what heartache it could be bring, but it's that reason you have to live for today. Love while you can.

You are a Queen. You are Regina Mills, you are a caring, devoted and loving mother to Henry and Roland, and you are an amazing friend. You are going to go into that clearing with your head held high, a smile on your face, pride and love threatening to burst out of your heart and you are going to marry your soulmate."

"You have been hanging out with The Charming's way too long dear that was quite a hope speech"

Both laugh "Don't, you know I hate them as much as you do. As much as we are both loathing admitting it, sometimes they are needed."

They both had tears in their eyes, and would both deny the fact. They had been through so much together and it finally felt that maybe it was all worth it.

"Thank you, for not giving up on me, on us. Thank you for raising Henry into the wonderful young man he is. Thank you for being here, I know it wasn't easy for you. Thank you, for being a friend"

"Now who's being soppy your majesty. Anyway we're going to your wedding, not your funeral, can we just lighten up a bit"

"I think that might be a good idea"

"Ugh pass me the bucket" Zelena remarked, accompanying it with a dramatic sigh.

The Queen laughed, knowing her sister didn't mean anything by it.

"Joking aside you look mesmerising sis," Zelena said, tears were welling at the corners of her eyes. "Both of you" she added, winking at Regina. The Queen sometimes wondered if they were aware of the fact that they were sisters, not that she was one to talk.

"Thank you Ze" she replied. She wished that she had known sister as a child, had always wanted a sister but it warmed her heart knowing that Regina had a sister she could turn to

She took a deep breath. She could do this. She could have a happy ending, no a happy beginning.

Robin was nervous, incredibly nervous, he had robbed from many a noble, he had crossed realms, discovered he had a doppelganger who had sacrificed himself for the one he loved, he had found out he had a son. He was but a simple thief, an outlaw, by nature an outcast and he was about to marry a queen. She made him feel like so much more than a lonely man, living every day for his son, She loved him, them unconditionally, Regina gave him a family.

"Bloody Hell mate stop pacing around." Will jested

Robin turned towards him, an apology on his lips

"I was joking mate; I know it's just nerves. Listen, I know it doesn't make sense; you can't work out why out of everyone she chose you, you don't know how you can ever show her everything she deserves. You are worth her love though; you are kind, honourable and loyal. You would do anything to protect her and your child. Love doesn't make sense, so don't try to figure it out, just smile, enjoy the moment."

"Thanks Will" Robin replied.

"You're welcome, now where is that little rascal"

"I'm not a rascal, I'm a knight" came Roland's indignant response.

Robin laughed, he treasured his son and couldn't imagine life without him "that you are m'boy" he said, ruffling his hair.

Turning more serious he asked "You know what you have to do?"

Roland nodded "I have to hold mama's hand down the aisle to you papa."

Robin's smile was confirmation the little boy needed

At Robin's camp.

She is going to kill us, Regina muttered.

"No she won't" came Snow's reply.

God could that woman not keep her nose out of anything.

You don't know that Snow this is her wedding day and we're gate crashing it.

Snow gave Regina a pointed look while Zelena snorted, Emma just saying really?

It was Snow that spoke, "I know Regina because you, she, oh whatever crashed my wedding, threatened our entire future, separated us from our child, cursed us and yes our relationship is complicated but we're all family. So no she won't kill us because she will get to marry the man she loves in front of her family"

Well when you put it like that there wasn't really much she could say.

"Mom you're scared for her, scared for yourself, you know how much this can hurt, but we're here for you. We love you. Both of you"

Hugging Henry tight she dried her eyes. She knew that everything would be okay.

Robin arrived at the clearing and greeted the Storybrooke Gang, he knew how much family meant to The Queen, knew that the conversations via mirror was not enough, and so had sought Regina's help on trying to find a way. It was tricky and had involved a lot of frustration but they had finally found a way, the sorcerer's house could still be used as a gateway to other realms, it required a lot of strength and no one had been sure if it would work.

He couldn't wait to see her face when she realised. He only hoped she liked her surprise.

/

It was happening, she was marrying Robin Hood. Roland entered the room,

"Mom" The Queen turned to face her little knight. She looked at Roland, adorable in his slightly oversized suit.

"My knight, you look handsome. I am so happy that it's you giving me away."

"I love you too mamma, you deserve this and so much more" he took her outstretched hand.

As she turned the corner to the camp she noticed familiar faces. Regina, Zelena, Snow, her breath caught Henry was there standing tall next to Robin. Her family were here, how she had no idea but she couldn't even find it in herself to care that Regina had managed to keep it a secret.

Mother and Son walked down the makeshift aisle, arm in arm, smiles wide. This was a day neither of them knew they had always wanted in their lives.

She saw Robin and her heart leapt, he was in a fitted grey suit and a dress shirt, without a tie, there was only so much he was willing to do, he looked beyond handsome.

The Queen was simply beautiful, as always, he was one lucky man and he would never forget that.

Archie initiated the ceremony and the time soon came to exchange vows.

"Robin for a long time I was someone I didn't want to be. I was a monster, I let hate, revenge consume me. I lied and I tricked people. I avoided the truth of how I felt. The idea of letting anyone close to me was terrifying for me. The truth is that I love you. I love you for accepting me, for seeing the real me. I love you for teaching me that whilst we may be bound by our choices; we are so much more than our mistakes. Our lives will never be easy but know that through the darkest days I will stay with you always. "

"Milady, Regina, we are no strangers to loss. There is a universal truth that many are unwilling to accept, that whether we want to or not things end. Today we say goodbye to everything that is familiar, everything that was comfortable. There are people that will always be important to us, that will be with us no matter where we go. They are the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us. That voice in my heart told me to find love again, to love with my soul, to be happy. That voice led me to you. I do not know where our journey will take us; I just know that I want to do it with you. I want to spend every moment reminding you that you are not alone. You are never alone"

Everyone was crying, there are sometimes when actions can speak louder than words, there are other times when paragraphs build palaces.

Robin slipped the delicate ring on her finger, his fingers lingering just slightly too long

Regina did the same, never taking her eyes of his face.

Finally the moment came when Robin could kiss the bride. The kiss was a mere brush of their lips, a teaser of what was to come later, still it conveyed passion and tenderness and the longing of spending the rest of their lives together.

They made their way, hand in hand, through the forest, the path lit by subtle fairy lights, back to the castle, their family, one bigger than either could ever imagine, following behind.

Regina and Robin danced, oblivious to the couples dancing around them. They didn't need anyone else, not tonight. All they ever needed was the love they gave.
