Prompt: Regina gets invited to speak on the Ellen Degenerees show about being the first openly lesbian Mayor in Maine since the changes to Maine's marriage laws. Regina some how ropes Emma into pretending to be her lover. PreSQ
Regina's first and only lover since she took office as Mayor in small town Maine was Miss Ruby Lucas. Graham had slept over but Graham had never been a lover just someone to talk to. So when the state of Maine's marriage equality came up for voting more than half the town, hell more than two thirds of the town, voted in favor of equality in marriage. This statistic alone drew the interest of many but above all it drew the eye of one of the out and proud celebrities, one Ellen Degenerees.
"Mayor Mills," Sarah, Regina's secretary, said through the intercom, "there's a gentleman on the phone for you, he refuses to say what he wishes to speak with you about."
Regina pinched the bridge of her nose, just what she needed another crazy calling her about the law's passing. "I'll take it, Sarah, can't be any worse than the last one." Regina lifted the receiver from the cradle after taking a deep breath, "Mayor Regina Mills."
"Mayor Mills," a young man's voice sounded through the phone, "my name is Nicholas and I am an assistant to Ellen Degenerees. Ms. Degenerees would like to extend an invitation to you and your partner to come on her show. She would like to interview you for being the first openly gay Mayor in the state of Maine."
Regina stared into open air for a moment, this was exactly what she needed to go further on politics, someone picking up her actual views as well as her struggles. It also helped her to advance her goal of being a role model to those young teenagers and adults who were unsure in who they were and how they could be who they wanted as homosexual. She could show that sexuality wasn't an immovable obstacle, but something each person must come to terms with before everyone else could accept it. She nodded her head even though the man couldn't see, "We'd love to come to the show, Nicholas, I only ask that our son be allowed to come to."
She could practically hear the smile in the you man's voice, "Of course, Mayor Mills, if I could just have the name of your partner and son."
That was the problem Regina didn't actually have a partner and then before she knew what she was saying the name tumbled past her lips, "My partner's name is Emma Swan and our son is Henry, Henry Mills."
"Thank you, Mayor Mills," the young man said still clearly smiling, "I or someone else will be in touch in a few days to confirm all of your travel arrangements and stay as well as your official show date."
Regina smiled even as her stomach rolled in dread, "Thank you, Nicholas, I look forward to that call."
"No, thank you, Mayor Mills."
Once Regina placed the phone in its proper place she dropped her head into her hands, Emma would certainly kill her for this, even if they were getting along now.
