Regina changed her outfit for the fourth time, causing an exasperated sigh to leave Emma's mouth. As she was lying there across the bed, she had certainly enjoyed the impromptu fashion show, but she knew they needed to get moving.

"If I didn't know any better, I would say you keep changing clothes in order to stall," Emma said.

Regina gave her the look that let her know her opinion wasn't needed and she ducked back into the closet to look for a different pair of shoes.

"You know I am the one who should be nervous, not you," Emma said.

"Are you joking?" Regina said. "I can never tell because it's never funny."

"I won't take offense at that. I know you are only being less than pleasant because of what is about to happen. Regina it's going to be fine. It doesn't matter what you wear."

"Of course it does."

"My parents aren't going to be any more or less accepting of our relationship based on what you are wearing."

"You don't know that," she said standing in the doorway of the closet putting on her shoes.

Emma sighed again, but got up and took her by the hands.

"I get it, really I do. But you have to know that no matter what, what happens today doesn't affect us. You will still be my girlfriend."

"How can you say that?" Regina said. "They are your parents. They have barely gotten past hating me but that doesn't mean they want me dating you. This is a really big deal. You are about to tell them you are gay and you are dating me. This isn't something you can be casual about."

"Sure I can. I am a grown woman, and if they are accepting of me, they have to be accepting of you because it's a package deal."

"And if they don't accept you?"

"I don't know. Chances are they will waste a bunch of time thinking the Evil Queen has put a spell on my to make me her love slave. Wait, you didn't actually do that did you?"

"Cute," Regina said smiling.

"Hey, there is that smile I love so much," Emma said kissing her. "It's going to work out. Trust me. One day there will be another chapter in that fairy tale book just about you and me. And kids everywhere will see it and wish they could grow up and fall in love like us."

"You are amazing, you know that?"

"I do," Emma said giving her a cocky grin.

"Maybe that book can edit down your ego a bit," she said.

"No way, it's got to tell the truth."
