And Now A Rendition Of............ WE ALREADY KNOW!!!
(The usual big crowd is eating and drinking at Granny's, everyone is talking to each other, the dinner is so loud not even a glass breaking could be herd over the occupied conversations as Em & Killian walk in.)
Em: Um... Everyone?.........(nobody notices or hears her.)...... Hey guys?...... (still nobody hears.)......... People?.......(still nobody notices up.)........PEOPLE!...(Sound of loud whistle....... The dinner goes dead silent and everybody turns to Em.).... About time, Gezz.......
Granny: What's wrong with you? Can't you see it's the lunch crowd?
Killian: Apologies darling, but the lady Swan and I have something to share with all of you and it requires your full undoubted attention.
Granny: Yeah well make it quick, couple more hours and we'll have to start preparing for the diner crowd.
Killian: Of course, well this should only take a minute or two.... I hope..
Grumpy: What happened? The Headless Horseman ride into town? Hahaha.... He didn't did he?....
Em: No, it's nothing like that. It's something a little more...... Personal.
Snow: Emma your scaring us. Are you ok?
Em: No, No, No, I'm fine. I just... Don't know how your going to take this.....
Charming: For goodness sake Emma just tell us what's going on.
Henry: What's wrong Mom?
Em: Ok..... hear goes nothing... Um... Henry... Mom, Dad.... Everyone!... You see, Killian & I are.... Uh... Killian & I, we.... Um.. We......
Killian: Bloody Hell Swan............ Emma I are together! We're a couple now and knew you lot had a right to know. Especially the three of you. (looking at Henry and the Charmings.)
Em: What he said.....
(The room is completely silent. Everyone stares at the nervous duo for a couple of long moments then return to there previous conversations and activities as if they hadn't been interrupted. Em & Killian stand in puzzlement.)
Killian: Not quite the reaction I was expecting but your father's not holding his sword to my neck so that's fortunate.
Em: Hey!........ Didn't you all hear what he just said?.....
Snow: Of course we herd honey. Pretty sure everyone did.
Em: So why are you just sitting there like nothing happened?? I was expecting a lecture or a warning or a freaking Oh My God from someone...
Henry: Uhh... Mom. We kinda already knew.
Em & Killian: Come again?
Snow: Yeah we've known about you two for weeks.
Charming: It's old news. We knew you'd tell us when you were ready.
Em: Wait.. How did you know?......
Henry: Your kidding right?
Granny: Sweetie you see the holes in the wall with the flowery curtains? There called windows..... You can see out em... Right into the courtyard.
Grumpy: (in another dwarfs ear) "not to mention all the noises from his room in the back."
Henry: Mom, have you seen the picture of the two of you dancing in my book? The three blind mice could tell what was happening.
Charming: Besides, it's not like it wasn't a long.. long time coming.
Ruby: Yeah. The whole town even had bet going on about it.
Em: They did?
Ruby: Yep, can't remember who won though.
Tink: I did. But I didn't join in until late.
Killian: What do you mean, late?
Tink: Well it was already going on before I ever came to town.
Em: It Was?
Victor: Yeah, it started when he was in the hospital. At first it was just the nurses then somehow spilled all through town and before long everyone was in the pot.
Belle: (whispering) "But there were those of us who bet against you in hopes for Neal."
Regina: I told you that you weren't fooling anyone, thanks to all the puppy eyed yearning. I thank we all knew long before you did... Hell even my mother did.
Aurora: She's right, I still remember what Cora made me say when she was controlling me..... Well actually I knew even before that, since the beanstalk.
Charming: The point is we all knew it was inevitable and to put it in a way Killian will understand... It's about bloody time...
Henry: Bottom line mom, were cool with it.
Regina: No the bottom line is we don't care.
Snow: Regina! Don't listen to her, of course we care. I mean were just happy for you.
Em: Ooooo...Kkkkk..... I think I need a drink.
Killian: Me too... Hang on... If your wager on our union is over then what are you betting on now???
Grumpy: How long till Regina kills Marian....
Killian: Can I get in on that?...
Em: Yep I really need a drink.
