          Uma sat at her vanity and stared at her reflection in the mirror. Evie had been by earlier and had applied her makeup while Dizzy styled her hair. She wore teal eyeshadow with a nude lipstick and her hair was styled and it's normal braids with the top half twisted in a bun while the rest was left down. She had to admit they done a good job. However, it wasn't her appearance or the dance that made her nervous. It was the envelope on the vanity in front of her.
          
          She and Harry had recently gone in for her 6-month checkup. While they were there the doctor asked if they wanted to know the gender of the baby. Harry immediately said yes while Uma had been unsure. After arguing for 10 minutes the doctor had shushed them and handed her the envelope. "If you decide to know the gender you may open it. If not, discard it." The doctor had said before escorting them out.
           
           Uma sighed as she stared at the envelope. It wasn't that she didn't want to know the gender of her baby, she was just afraid of what learning the gender would mean. The ultrasounds made being pregnant real enough. Learning the gender would solidify who the tiny person was inside her and she wasn't sure she was ready to know. However, she talked with Mal and they decided to do the gender reveal at the dance. That way, she would have the support of all her friends when she found out.

          Uma placed the envelope in her purse just as she heard a knock at the door. She opened it to find Harry in a dashing red suit on the other side.

"Wow. You clean up nice." She complimented. "Thank ye. Ye look as stunning as always love." He said taking her hand and kissing it. Uma just rolled her eyes. "Yes, because being cranky, 6 months pregnant, and having swollen ankles is so attractive." She said sarcastically.

          Harry chuckled. "Ye'll always be beautiful to me." He extended his arm for her to take and she obliged. "Alright, let's go Casanova." She teased. He only smiled as he let her from the room. Tonight was a big night.

         Ruby smiled as she put the finishing touches on Quinn's hair. "Perfect." She smiled. Ruby had curled Quinn's hair so that it fell in ringlets. Then, to add some sparkle, she had put one of her hair clips in Quinn's hair. The hair clip sported a red poinsettia with a gold center and sparkling green leaves that complimented her dress. Quinn smiled as she admired her appearance. "Thank you Ruby." She signed. "Anytime." Ruby smiled as a knock was heard at the door.
       
         Quinn answered and she blushed when she saw Gil in his brown suit.

"Wow." He breathed. "For the first time I understand the difference between pretty and beautiful." Quinn blushed harder as she signed. "Thanks you look handsome." He smiled before signing back and extending his arm. "Are you ready to go?" She nodded and waved goodbye to Ruby before allowing Gil to escort her out. In her mind, she knew tonight would be a night to remember.
🌟
       Uma stared in awe as Harry lead her into the ballroom of Ben's castle. The room was de decorated like the inside of Elsa's ice castle, complete with crystal chandelier and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. "It's definately not an Isle party huh?" Uma shook her head as Harry lead her father into the room. "Shall we dance?" He asked as a slow song came on. She blushed and nodded. "We shall."
🌟
         Quinn hid behind Gil as he lead her into the ballroom. He turned around to face her. "What's wrong?" She looked around nervously before signing back. "I'm scared. This is my first dance." Gil smiled. "It's my first too. Don't be scared, I'm right here." He took her hand in his and kissed it tenderly. "May I have this dance?" He asked. Quinn nodded and allowed Gil to pull her to the dance floor.

       Gil wrapped her arms around his neck before placing his hands on her hips. Quinn blushed as he lead her across the dance floor swaying gently. She was tense at first but the more they danced, the more she relaxed. Quinn placed her head on his shoulder and closed the gap between them. He smiled and rested his head on hers and it only grew when he saw Harry and Uma dancing nearby.

        They looked just like they did the night she returned to the Lost Revenge. He had left after Harry gave him a deadly glare but curiosity had brought him back and he had watched them dance from the plank leading down to the docks. Harry swayed Uma gently as he lead her across the floor. Her head was on his shoulder and her arms were gently laced around his neck. They were two puzzle pieces that went together perfectly, turning two puzzles into one. Gil was happy his friends were together.
🌟
        After dancing for two hours Gil and Quinn sat down at a nearby table exhausted. She leaned against his chest as he looked around the room. Carlos was dancing with Jane, Jay and Lonnie were having a dance off, Mal and Ben were talking to Dizzy, Evie, and Doug, Allie appeared to be irritating Jordyn, and Freddie and Celia appeared to be trying not to laugh at Jordyn's expense. He opened his mouth to ask Quinn if she wanted a drink when a familiar voice cut him off. "Hey mate. Good to see ye."

         Gil grinned as Harry pulled out a chair and helped Uma sit down. "Hey guys, it's good to see you. How's the baby Uma?" She groaned as she rested her head on the table. "Growing and partying along with us. Little Hook has been kicking up a storm." Gil chuckled as Quinn looked curiously at her stomach. She met Uma's gaze before gesturing at her stomach. Uma furrowed her brow in confusion. "What?" Quinn sighed before turning to Gil and signing. "She wants to know if she can feel the baby kick." He translated. Uma shrugged her shoulders. "Go for it. Everybody just does it anyway."

        Quinn placed a hand on Uma's stomach. Thump. Her face lit up as the baby kicked again. Thump. Gil chuckled. "Pretty cool huh?" She nodded before signing. "Quinn says thank you Uma." Gil told her. She nodded. "No problem." Harry placed a kiss on Uma's cheek. "I'm going to get some punch. I'll be right back." She nodded as Harry disappeared into the crowd. "So how are things between you two?" Gil smiled as he laced his fingers with Quinn's. "We're great. We've been spending time together and getting to know eachother." Quinn nodded in agreement and blushed as she laid her head against his shoulder.

        "That's good to hear." Uma said. She was happy Gil had finally found someone. Despite being from the Isle, he was a sweet guy and Quinn brought out the best in him. She was about to ask if they were officially dating when the lights in the room dimmed and Jay's voice came over the speakers. "Ladies and gentleman we have a special performance tonight! Give it up for Harry Hook!" Uma was shocked as the lights came on and Harry stood on stage with a microphone. He gave her a wink before the music started and he began to sing.
It was a Friday night
No cover but the cover band was sounding right
And there you were
Just flirty dancing
By the neon sign
To "Fishin' In The Dark"
You were reeling in my heart
Now look at where we are

        As he got into the chorus Harry began to dance around the stage just like he used to in the chip shop and on the Lost Revenge.

I'm hooked on kissing you, getting
Getting you turned on
Buzzing and loving on you
All night long
Like a hit song on the radio
You already know the way it goes
All it took was a look and

I was hooked on
The way that you taking
Taking my shirt off
And running my fingers
Through your long dark
Hair falling in your eyes
Like the first time they caught mine
All it took was a look and I was hooked

       She laughed as he pointed at her while he finished the chorus before starting again.

It's Saturday
You're still asleep and I could leave
But no way
This ain't a one night fling kinda thing
Wanna wake you up
Wanna press my luck
And my lips on your cheek
Like I can't enough 'cause

         He started dancing as he went into the chorus once more.

I'm hooked on kissing you, getting
Getting you turned on
Buzzing and loving on you
All night long
Like a hit song on the radio
You already know the way it goes
All it took was a look and

I was hooked on
The way that you taking
Taking my shirt off
And running my fingers
Through your long dark
Hair falling in your eyes
Like the first time they caught mine
All it took was a look and I was hooked

          Just when she thought it was over, Harry jumped off the stage and made his way towards her repeating the chorus.

You got me hooked on kissing you, getting
Getting you turned on
Buzzing and loving on you
All night long
Like a hit song on the radio
You already know the way it goes
All it took was a look and

I was hooked on
The way that you taking
Taking my shirt off
And running my fingers
Through your long dark
Hair falling in your eyes
Like the first time they caught mine
All it took was a look and I was hooked

         As he finished, Harry got down on one knee in front of Uma and took her hand. "Uma Witch, I have loved ye since we were eight years old. I'd go anywhere and do anything to make you smile. The day we discovered you were pregnant was the happiest day of my life. However, I am hoping that will change tonight. Uma Witch, will you make me the happiest pirate on the seven seas and marry me?" He asked pulling a ring from his pocket.

          Uma sat in shock as she looked between Harry and the ring. Her emotions swirled around inside her like a whirl pool, but she knew there was only one answer. "Yes." Harry beamed as he slipped the ring on her finger and pulled her into a kiss. Everyone cheered as the two broke apart. He scooped her up bridal style and carried her onto the stage. "I can't believe you did this." She said in awe. Harry just grinned as he kissed her hand. "I'd do anything for ye. Now, I think we have one more announcement we need to make."

         Uma nodded as she pulled the envelope from her purse. "Let's do this." She grinned as she began tearing the envelope. However, before she could finish the lights went out. "Ha Ha Ha Ha!" A loud cackle boomed through the room. They heard a swishing sound and a thump from something landing on stage. "I'm baaack!" A familiar voice sing songed.

        The lights came on to reveal none other than CJ Hook standing proudly on stage. "CJ?" Harry and Uma said in disbelief. "Hey big brother!" She greeted. "So you finally put a ring on it. Way to finally man up." She chuckled. Harry growled as he stepped towards his sister. "Stop it Calista Jane." CJ pouted. "You're no fun Harry." He only chuckled as he pulled her into a hug. "It's good to see you little sister." She patted him on the back before pulling away. "Yeah, yeah I missed you too big brother. Now, tell me if I'm going to have a niece or nephew!" She squealed.

          Harry shook his head. "Aye aye aye. Uma, are ye ready love?" Uma nodded as she pulled a piece of paper from the envelope and read it. Tears sprung to her eyes as she looked at Harry. "It's a girl." She whispered. He broke out in a wide grin. "It's a girl!" He announced causing everyone to cheer, including CJ. "I'm going to have a niece!" She squealed. Harry pulled Uma into a kiss and placed a hand on her stomach. He smiled as they pulled apart. "Our own little lass."
🌟
         Gil pulled Quinn out of the room as everyone cheered at the gender reveal. He was excited that they would have a daughter but he needed to do something before he lost his courage. Once they were out of the ballroom he turned to Quinn who had a confused expression on her face. Gil took her hands in his and looked her in the eyes. "Quinn, we've been hanging out for three months now. Ther's no time I'm happier than the moments I spend with you. If you're ready, would you consider being my girlfriend?"

         Quinn stared at him with wide eyes as she slipped her hands from his grasp. "Me?" She asked. "Yes you." Gil signed. "I love you." Quinn blushed as she replied. "Okay, on one condition." Gil nodded enthusiastically. "Anything, you name it. I'll do anything for you."

          Quinn smiled. "Then come to family day tomorrow and meet my father." Gil's eyes widened. "You're dad?" He choked out. She nodded. "Please?" He sighed as he gently pecked her cheek causing her blush to darken. "Alright, I'll do it." He signed. Quinn grinned as she hugged him. Family day was going to be very interesting. 

Author's Note

Hi guys! Sorry this took so long my life has been very busy! Anyway here's another chapter and I hoped you enjoyed it! The song used in the chapter is called "Hooked" by Dylan Scott. It does not belong to me. The only change I made was changing blonde to dark to make the song fit Uma and Harry better. All images come from pinterest the greatest place on earth. Also, keep an eye out for my new book that I am collaborating on with AlyTheQueenOfNarnia called Warped Wishes. It's going to be a descendants fanfiction about two girls who accidentally get sent to Auradon. It should be out sometime this week!I'm blowing this popsicle stand.
