Day 1: Christmas Tree

This would be the first Christmas that Emma was going to have a full on family Christmas. To say she was excited would be an understatement! Emma had just moved into the into the Mayoral Mansion, 9 months ago. She had been dating Regina for a year and a half now and in that time they had had Christmas's together. But this year was extra special because she was now living in the house and not just coming over Christmas morning.

It was December 1st and they were going to get their tree this very afternoon. Emma and Regina were going to leave work early and Henry was being picked up from school early. Speaking of Regina she turns towards the door as she hears her girlfriends heels clicking on the hard floor. Once she sees Regina her breath stops—every time she lays her eyes on the gorgeous woman. Emma always Imagined even if they were together for 50 years, Regina would still take her breath away.

"Hey Babe." Emma smiles at her, Regina smiles back walking closer to her leaning down and gives her a quick kiss.

"Mmm." Emma leans back wiping the smudge of lipstick off Regina's lips.

"You have a little something." Regina uses her thumb to wipe her lipstick off the blondes lips.

"Thanks babe. Are you ready?" Emma asks excitedly.

"Yes, dear. Let's go get out son from school and then pick out our tree."

"Yay!" Emma jumps up, grabs her hand pulling her out of the room. On the way out the door the couple pass David.

"Are you leaving already Emma?" Emma doesn't even stop, just throwing over her shoulder.

"Yes, we are going to get our Christmas tree." David just shakes his head at his daughter watching her pull the Mayor out the door, David smiles. He was happy that Emma was happy. Yes at first it had been difficult to adjust, especially for Snow but they saw how happy Emma was with the Mayor and they were happy for both of them. They had family dinner's every week and spent the holidays together. Sitting down at his desk he pulls the pile of papers towards him and starts to go through them.

After they pick up Henry who was just as happy as his blonde mother they drive to the little tree farm. Regina being Regina brought Scarves and gloves for everyone. Once they are all bundled up the trio head towards the field of trees. Emma and Henry run ahead of Regina trying to find the perfect tree. Regina just smiles at them, times like this will never get old.

Regina walks around the tree farm trying to keep up with the other two. Sometimes stopping to look at trees or talking to the towns people that were there.

Emma was in heaven! Running and laughing with their son. This was going to be the best Christmas of her life. All of a sudden Emma stops short in front of a tree, she just stares at it with wide eyes. This was the one! She just knew it.

"Henry!" She yells, Henry runs towards her stopping next to her.

"Ya Ma?"

"This is the one." Henry looks up at the tree, it was pretty tall and full. It would be perfect.

"Yes! I will go get mom!" Emma just nods. Henry comes back pulling Regina along with him.

"What is the hurry Henry?" Regina ask as they stop next to Emma. Regina looks up at the tree.

"Ma found the perfect tree!"

"This is the one you want Emma?" Regina asks bringing the blonde out of her trance.

"Yes, this is the one babe. It's perfect."

"Ok. Henry can you go get Jack?"

"Sure mom." Henry says running to find the tree cutter. Regina pulls Emma into her side. The couple just stands there looking at their tree.

When Henry comes back with Jack, Jack cuts down the tree. Emma helps him place it on top of her bug. The family stops at the little stand and get some hot coco to warm up a bit. Once they were done they head home, Emma driving slower because of the tree on her car. Once they get home Emma Insisted that Henry and her bring the tree in the house, Insisting that Regina go inside and put her feet up. Regina rolls her eyes but doesn't fight it, she was tired but she couldn't tell Emma why at least right now.

"If you two break anything in my house you both are in trouble"

"I am your girlfriend! You can't do that." Regina just lefts her eyebrow.

"No I can't but I can make you sleep on the sofa for a week." Its Emma's turn to roll her eyes. She knows Regina would never do that, she has been extra clingy lately.

"Alright I am going to have a cup of tea. Remember what I said." Regina adds before walking into the house. Regina making tea over coffee was another thing that has changed, and Emma was not sure what was going on. But that was a thought for another day. Nothing was going to bring her down today.

"Alright this do this!"

It took mother and son over an hour to get the tree through the front door and into the living room and finally in it's stand. They high fived each other when they were done.

"Alright you two. Henry it's time to get ready for bed."

"But mom! We should decorate the tree tonight."

"Henry, we are going to do it tomorrow. I am tired and you have school." Henry pouts. Regina has been tired more lately. Another thing to add to the list of weird stuff that Regina has been doing.

"Henry it has been an exciting day. Go up to your room and get ready for bed. You can stay up a little longer but be quiet' Henry sighs.

"Ok, good night." He hugs both of them before heading up to his room.

"Are you alright babe?" Emma asks.

"Yes, dear. I am fine, why?"

"You just seem to be more tired lately and you are drinking tea and not coffee and you are clingy." Regina humphs.

"I just have been working more with the holidays and everything. And I just want to sleep at night, so tea is better and I love you and want to be with you. Is that really a bad thing?" Regina asks, she could feel the tears starting behind her eyes. She doesn't want to cry. She knows what doing it but really this is out of control.

"No babe. I was just worried that is all. Come on lets go to bed." Emma kisses her check and leads her up to their room.

I have to tell her soon! She almost just found out…
