*I own nothing. This is what Emma wears!

One week later:

"Regina what are you wearing?!" Cora stalked over two her daughter placing her in a pale blue dress with the flick of her hand.

"I was going riding mother."

"Nonsense Regina you are meeting the Royal family," Cora said almost happily

"The Royal family here! Mother are you sure!?"

"Yes, darling it would appear you did something right for once! Well, that doesn't matter you will be on your best behavior is that understood. If you ruin this Regina you will regret it!" Cora said glaring at her daughter.

"Yes mother," Regina said Bowing her head.

As the king walked into the room followed by snow, he walked up to Regina and Cora with a snarl, and instantly Regina flinched.

"Father!" Yelled a melodic voice from the door of the room. Hidden by the shadows. "You will respect the head of the house of Mills and their lovely daughter or I shall personally escort you back to the carriage!"

"Emma I was simply about to warn Regina to make the wiser choice." The king gritted his teeth.

"Father. Carriage. Now. I will talk to The family you take snow to the carriage. Please, father, let me handle this." She said the last part softer.

"Very well my daughter. Come along my dear" he said to snow and they left.

"I'm sorry about my father. He is just terribly upset. You see he wanted to take Regina as a personal maid, I said that saving my sister was a great feat which should be rewarded. Therefore Father and I came to a compromise you my dear Regina have a choice, you can stay here with your parents and we can have a ball in your honor, you can become a personal maid for Snow or you can marry me. Whatever the choice we will respect it."

"She accepts your wedding proposal," Cora said staring intentionally at the figure in the shadows by the name of Emma.

"With all due respect, you have no say in this choice. This is Regina's choice and she will answer for herself. "

"How dare you talk to me like that." Cora screeched and Emma watched as Regina flinched badly.

"How dare I, madam may I remind you that I am the heir to the throne and you will leave us to discuss this Henry may stay if his daughter so wishes but I'm going to have to ask you to leave Cora." And Cora stormed out of the room.

"My father can stay. I have one request before I make my choice, can you step out of the shadows, so I may look upon the face of my Fiancé" Regina said making up her Mind she was getting away from her mother and who better to go with them someone who would stand up to her.

"As you wish." And Emma stepped closer to Regina. Regina gasped as she looked at the striking green eyes of Emma her cheekbones, her jaw, and her blonde curled hair. She was wearing men's Royal wear.

"I accept your marriage proposal, Princess Emma" Regina said beaming the most beautiful smile Emma had ever laid eyes upon.

"Regina would you like to accompany me on a ride today," Emma asked at the breakfast table

"Regina don't you have to finish packing you leave the palace tomorrow," Cora said glaring at Emma.

"Actually mother I already packed, Emma I would be honored to accompany you riding." Emma and Regina smiled at each other.

"Emma, I want to thank you for standing up to my mother and thank you for giving me a choice of my future. No one has ever done that for me." She said wiping a stray tear from her cheek.

"Regina, come here." Regina walked closer to Emma embraced her future wife. "Regina you're the strongest, most beautiful woman I have ever met. Regina I can't wait to take you away from here. Somewhere safe." She pulled away to look Regina in the eyes. "Somewhere you can just be you. I will spend the rest of my life proving that you are worth anything and you deserve everything." By the end of the speech, Regina and Emma were both in tears.

"Emma I think I could be truly happy with you." She said smiling through the tears.

"My darling fiancé I will do everything to ensure you be as happy as I can make you." And Emma began to lean in Regina was so nervous she had never been kissed before, but yet with Emma Regina felt everything was alright. Their kiss was slow and passionate. Regina cupped Emma's face and Emma had one hand stroking Regina's Face and the other around her waist. When they finally had to pull away for lack of breath.

"Regina Emma father wants us back at the house." Snow said running into the stable.

Emma smiled and said thank you as she wrapped her hand around her waist and Regina leaned on the taller woman's shoulder. And they walked back to the small castle.

"Emma, Regina we have come up with a decision. I will give you both 5 months until you will take over your own throne in Misthaven while Snow and I leave for the castle of King Midas for Snow to meet her betrothed and try will marry in 2 years time. Cora has been stripped of her powers and will be sent to a new land tomorrow. It would appear you mother talks a lot while under a truth potion, she killed Queen Eva and made snows horse go wild." Leopold snarled.

Regina turned to face Emma with tears in her eyes "Emma I had no idea I promise you I'm so sorry Emma. I never knew I swear to you. I didn't plan this." Regina kept repeating I'm sorry over and over again, as Emma embraced her and stroked her hair.

"It's okay my love I believe you. I would never condemn you for the sins of others." Emma pulled her back and kissed her pouring all her love into the one kiss. As she did this blue light swarmed around them, exposing a woman in a blue dress with wings and brown hair piled on to her head.

"Well done Emma and Regina you have saved each other. Your destinies were not good ones but you have found each other. It's very important you both share the truest of love perhaps the greatest in all the realms and you both have magic on top of that with you two together anything is possible. You two will be the best Queens. This realm has ever seen." The blue fairy said smiling at the couple.

"Anything would that mean that we could conceive a child," Emma asked knowing she wanted Regina to carry their children.

"Yes, Regina can but only because Regina has always wanted a child and I know Emma would want Regina to have their children. " Emma smiled down at her fiancé.

"The wedding will take place in 5 days time. The ball announcing our engagement will take place in 3 you are invited to both and you will do the ceremony correct?" Leopold asked holding on to Snow's hand.

"Yes. I must leave now your majesty it was a pleasure to meet you all." And with that, the blue fairy left in a blue sparkling mist
