Part One
Well here I am standing at Snow and Prince Charming's door. I can't bring myself to knock. Why is this so difficult the Charming's are my oldest friends. After a few minutes I give in and knock.
"Hey Red." David says when he opens the door, holding Prince Neal.
My nerves are getting the best of me but I manage to form a few words. "I was wondering if we could talk."
"Of course come in." He steps back allowing me to enter. "Is everything ok? You look pale and for you that's never a good thing."
"Yes. I need to ask you a question."
"Sure what's on your mind?" He puts the baby in his crib and takes a seat at the bar.
How to begin? I ponder to myself as I take a deep breath in attempt to calm my racing heart.
"You and Snow have been my dearest friends for years. You both had faith in my when I had none. Your trust in me must run in the family because Emma believed in me as well. She chose to love me even after everything I've done. I never expected to find love again. This is real love completely different from what I ever felt for Peter. Emma and Henry have become family, part of my pack and as you know I will do anything to protect them. I've been told it proper to go to your girlfriend's father to ask for their blessing. Will I have your blessing if I were to ask Emma to marry me?"
"Yes! Absolutely Red! I couldn't ask for a better person to marry Emma." David replies with a huge smile on his face.
I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you David."
"Did you think I would say no?"
"I didn't know what to expect."
"Red you have always been part of our family. I've seen how happy you make Emma and Henry. Now go make an honest woman out of my daughter." He gives me a tight hug before shoving me out the door.
Well that went better than imagined. Now I just need to talk to Henry. I make way to Emma and Henry's apartment hoping I could borrow him for ice cream so we could talk.
I let myself into Emma's apartment. I'm still amazed she gave me a key. Henry is playing video games in the living room.
"Hey Henry, your mom's not home is she?" I ask him.
"Nope she had something to take care of after work said she'd be home with dinner." He tells me putting down is game controller. "She'd probably pick up if you called."
"Well actually I wanted to speak with you." I inform him sitting down next to him.
"Sure, Ruby. What's up?"
"You know I love your mom right?"
"I do and she loves you too."
"I know you said you are happy with my relationship with your mom, but I have to ask if you would give me your blessing if I wanted to ask your mom to marry me."
"Of course, I love you, you are part of our strange little family and who wouldn't want a wolf as a step mom." He throws his arms around me smiling.
"Thanks Henry I needed to make sure you would be okay with this."
"Can we have a big fairy tale theme wedding like the one Grandma and Grandpa had."
"I don't think Emma would be interested in something so fancy, but we can ask her." I tell him ruffling his hair laughing. "So what are you playing?"
"Soul Caliber. Wanna play?"
"Sure. I have to warn you I'm not very good at video games." I say picking up a controller. Maybe just maybe I will get my own happily ever after.
While future step son and mother enjoy time together a certain blonde sheriff was walking to the diner to ask Granny a simple question.
