So I saw someone that did this kind of story for another show, and I really like the idea. So thanks to whoever wrote "365 Days of Mystrade". I'm using your idea :)

Emma was pacing. She usually never paced, but this was a special occasion. Regina had decided that today would be the day to tell Snow and David about them. As a couple. How do you tell your parents that you're in love with their old enemy?
"You're going to wear a path into my carpet," Regina said, chuckling. For some reason, she was perfectly calm about the situation.
"How are you so calm?" Emma asked. "We're telling my parents that I'm in a relationship with someone that at one point tried killing them both!"
"Technically, I was only trying to kill your mother. David just got in the way," Regina said, smirking. Emma rolled her eyes and went back to pacing. Regina looked in sympathy at Emma. The reason why Regina was so calm was because she didn't care what Snow and David thought. Emma did.
Regina walked to Emma wrapped her arms around Emma's waist. Immediately, Emma sighed and relaxed into Regina's embrace.
"I can't promise that they're going to be okay with this," Regina said. "But why should we care? I know that they're your parents and you want to be the best for them, but as long as we love each other, why should we care what anyone else thinks?"
Emma turned in Regina's arms and hugged her tightly. "I love you," she mumbled into Regina's shirt.
Regina chuckled. "I love you too, dear. Now let's go talk to your parents." She waited patiently for Emma to relax before poofing them to David and Snow's door. Emma reluctantly let go of Regina and knocked on the door.
Snow opened the door, and her face lit up at seeing her daughter. "Emma! You haven't been home in a while. It's good to see you again," she said.
Emma smiled as Snow gave her a hug before ushering her and Regina inside. Emma took a deep breath and tried to calm down her racing heart.
As if sensing her distress, Regina subtly reached over and gave Emma's hand a squeeze. The effect was immediately seen; Emma let out the air she had been holding, and her body relaxed. She looked over at Regina, who nodded at her. It was time.
"Hey mom, is dad home?" Emma asked. She purposefully used the parent terms, hoping that they might lessen what was to come.
"Right here," David said, walking into the room. "What's up? Need some help at the station?"
Emma shook her head. "I actually wanted to talk to you guys. If that's okay."
"Of course sweetie. Although, why is Regina here?" Snow asked. David crossed his arms and looked skeptically at Regina, who rolled her eyes.
"For heaven sakes David, I did not harm her. So stop looking at me the way that you look at Hook when he gets too close," Regina said.
Emma snorted at Regina's reference of Hook. And then she looked at her parents. Snow just looked confused, while David looked like he was ready to grab his sword. Before things got worse, Emma had to say something.
"I'm in love with Regina," Emma blurted. Snow and David looked at her with wide eyes.
"You're what now?" David asked. Snow was looking back and forth between Emma and Regina as everything clicked. Why Henry was so much happier, why Emma was hardly ever home anymore; it all made sense.
"I'm in love with Regina," Emma said, strongly. She reached over and intertwined her fingers with Regina's. She watched as the anger on David's face turned to understanding, and Snow's eyes filled with tears.
"Emma, she tried to kill me. On multiple occasions," Snow said.
"She's changed mom. A lot," Emma said. She looked at Regina and their eyes locked. A look of nothing but love passed between them, and David noticed.
"True love is a mysterious thing," David said. "And if Regina is who it's with, okay. I won't say I fully like it, but I want you to be happy."
Emma smiled gratefully at David before looking at Snow. Snow looked in disbelief at her husband. "David, she tried to kill me!"
Regina rolled her eyes. "Have we really not moved past that? I haven't tried to kill you in months!"
"She's got a point Snow. And look at Emma. She's happy," David said to Snow. After several beats, Snow looked at Emma.
"If she really makes you happy, and you truly love her...then I guess I'll get used to it," Snow said.
Emma breathed out the air that she had been holding as she sighed in relief. She caught Regina's eye, and the two of them smiled. Snow and David may not fully approve, but it was a start.
Ta da! So the only way that this is gonna work is if you guys, my lovely readers, leave prompts for me because I'll eventually run out of ideas. I promise I'll try to do them!
