Chapter 2
"Which one is your house?" Olivia asked as they continued down the street.
"You can kind of see it down the way there. The bushes are kind of blocking your view" Henry said and pointed.
They walked up to the front of the house and Olivia's breath caught in her throat.
"Henry!" she exclaimed. "You live in a mansion."
"Yea it's one of the perks of being the mayor's kid" Henry said and smiled. He grabbed her hand and he pulled her up the walk. "Come on."
They entered the beautiful mansion and Olivia didn't think she had ever been in a more exquisite house.
"Your house is gorgeous" Olivia said and looked around; taking in the large staircase, hardwood floors and the simple yet elegant decorations around the foyer.
"Thank you dear" Regina said and hung Henry and Olivia's coat in the closet.
"Well let's have that pie" Henry said. "I know Ma is itching for it" he said and laughed.
"You know it!" Emma said ran towards the kitchen, but not before she slid on the hardwood in her socks and catapulted herself onto the kitchen tile, an act that Henry repeated right after her.
Olivia giggled. Regina put and arm around her and they walked to the kitchen together.
"Those two are two peas in a pod. They have been doing that since Emma moved in with us 10 years ago" Regina said and laughed. "I don't even think they realize they do it anymore."
"I think it's nice to see where Henry gets all his traits from. You and Emma are incredible. I can see how much he admires you two" Olivia said.
"He's the best son a mother could ask for" Regina said.
"Are you two talking about me?" Henry said as they entered the kitchen, taking in the site of mother and son sitting at the kitchen island, anxiously awaiting Regina's dessert.
"No I'm talking about my other son. He's about 6'1" with brown hair and blue eyes. He's really sweet and he's polite, oh wait that's you" Regina said and giggled. Emma gave a breathy laugh at Regina cracking herself up.
"Ha ha, you're so funny mom" Henry said as Regina rounded the island to the oven and placed a kiss on the crown of his head.
Regina pulled the pie out of the oven as Olivia sat between Henry and Emma at the island.
"I set the timer before we left for dinner so that it would be warm when we got here" Regina said and placed the pie on the counter.
"Be prepared to have your world rocked Olivia" Emma said and turned to her. "Henry and I have had many years of Regina's pies so we know how incredible they are. You are a novice. Do you think you can handle it?" Emma said and smiled at her as Henry laughed.
Olivia took a deep breath and smiled at Emma, "I think I'm ready."
"Okay! Hit me baby" Emma said and smiled at Regina who just shook her head and handed out the pieces of her pie.
"Oh my god!" Olivia exclaimed when she took the first bite of the pie. "This is amazing Regina!"
"Told you" Emma said and nudged her taking a large bite of her own piece.
"Thank you dear" Regina said and stood at the counter beside Emma on her right side. She instinctually wrapped her right arm around Regina's waist and Regina leaned into her, both continuing to eat their pie.
The small gesture made Olivia smile because neither realized that they had done it. It was a gesture that could only be seen in couples that were so in sync with each other that it became natural. Olivia hoped that she and Henry would be like that someday.
When they finished the pie they went to the study and had some of Regina's apple cider before they all headed up to bed.
But before they all went upstairs Regina piped up "Now you may find me old fashioned but I fixed up the guest bedroom for Olivia." Regina said and eyed Henry.
"Thank you" Olivia said. "That would be lovely."
"Mom" Henry said. "Come on we're 22 years old."
"Ha!" Emma exclaimed. "That is exactly why you will be sleeping in separate rooms. I was definitely up to no good when I was 22" she finished and took the glasses to the kitchen.
"Henry if these are your parents' rules I am going to follow them" Olivia said and turned to Regina who was smiling at her.
"But mom, really?" Henry said.
By this time Emma came back into the room and placed her hand on the small of Regina's back signaling to her that she was there to back her up.
"Henry" Regina started.
Henry went to say something else before Emma cut him off. "Henry, you heard your mother. Those are our rules. Stop arguing."
Emma was usually the more lenient parent of the two but Henry knew never to question his mother when she took that serious tone. Henry could never play his mothers against each other because they were always on the same page, which sucked for him especially when he was younger.
"Alright, I'm sorry" Henry said and led Olivia up the stairs to the guest bedroom.
Regina turned in Emma's arms and wrapped her arms around Emma's neck giving her a chaste kiss.
"Thanks for backing me up" Regina said moving her hands down to grip Emma's biceps.
"Always" Emma said and closed the distance between them again. This kiss quickly got heated when Regina pulled Emma's bottom lip between her teeth. Emma's hands started to creep lower and lower until she cupped her wife's perfect ass. Regina moaned into her mouth.
Emma laughed.
"What's so funny?" Regina laughed.
"We just scolding our son for being inappropriate in our house and here we are making out like teenagers in the den."
Regina laughed and said "Do you want to go upstairs and do some other things we forbade our son to do?" as she said that she raised her eyebrows suggestively.
"Hell yea" Emma said drug Regina towards the stairs, Regina laughing the whole way.
Henry awoke the next morning to the sound of screaming coming from down the stairs. "Oh God" he said and rolled out of bed and changed.
He walked out into the hall and knocked on Olivia's door. She opened it and looked at Henry terrified.
"What's going on?" she said.
"They're probably fighting about the party. My mothers fight as hard as they love" Henry said and grabbed her hand, leading her down the stairs.
"I don't like that song! It's stupid and old!" Emma screamed from the den.
"You take that back! It is a beautiful song and we WILL be dancing to it at our party!" Regina screamed back.
"Well looks like you'll be dancing alone sweetheart, because I am not dancing to some bullshit song" Emma yelled.
Henry walked down the stairs and looked into the living room to see his grandparents sitting on the couch looking worried.
David looked over at the stairs and smiled at Henry, "Henry" he said and stood.
Mary Margaret looked up and smiled at him too.
"Hey guys!" he said and embraced them. "This is my girlfriend Olivia" he wanted to make sure they knew the drill, before he even started talking to them. They're story was they were his mothers' friends which were "just like family." That's all Olivia needed to know for now. She wouldn't believe it if he told her she was talking to the most famous fairytale couple ever.
"This is Mary Margaret and David" Henry said as they all exchanged handshakes.
"How long has this been going on?" Henry said to Mary Margaret.
"Well Regina brought up what song they were going to dance to tonight and Emma doesn't like it, so they started fighting and it just went from there. Emma doesn't like the food Regina picked. Regina doesn't like the DJ Emma picked. They have literally been fighting about the dumbest things for about 20 minutes" Mary Margaret said.
That's when they heard something break.
"Oh yea real mature!" Regina yelled, "when you're mad you punch something! Good job Emma!"
Emma just groaned. Then they heard muted whispers coming from the den.
That's when the two of them walked out of the den, Regina cradling Emma's hand in her hands.
They were met with four pairs of giant blue eyes.
"Umm Henry, your mother had an accident and I'm going to take her to the hospital" Regina said and pulled Emma along.
"Ahhh Gina watch it! It hurts" Emma said.
"It should! You punched a mahogany wall!" Regina whispered angrily to her wife.
"Put a pretty good dent in the wall though didn't I?" Emma said proud of herself as Regina put her sandals in front of her feet.
"Yea I'm sure the wall will think twice before messing with you again. But seriously that is coming out of your paycheck" Regina said as she grabbed her keys and shooed Emma out the door.
Henry looked at Olivia who was just trying to keep a smile from her face. When the other two looked at her they all broke out in hysterics.
"Wonder how your mother is going to try to cover up Emma's broken knuckles at the party tonight" Mary Margaret said.
"Are you two working on the decorations?" Henry asked when they all calmed down.
"Yea, us two are. So are Ruby and Victor. They are there already. It's gonna look really nice. We got a bunch of fairy lights and hung them all through the town square. Your moms will love it" Mary Margaret said.
"It was such a good idea to have it outside. We've just been having the most amazing weather" David said. He failed to mention that the amazing weather had everything to do with his daughter-in-law's special abilities, figuring it was for the best.
"Well I'm going to check on my Ma at the hospital and then I'll meet you down there to help if that's okay" Henry asked.
"That sounds perfect" Mary Margaret said and kissed Henry on the cheek.
"It was nice to meet you sweetie" she said to Olivia and gave her a hug.
"It was nice to meet you too. I'll see you in a bit" Olivia said and Mary Margaret smiled at her.
David smiled at them both and left with his wife.
Henry and Olivia had to hunt around the house to find Emma's car keys. Which were stuffed in the pocket of her old red leather coat. Henry laughed at the endurance of that thing. He couldn't believe it lasted that long.
Thinking of things that have lasted forever Henry and Olivia walked outside to old the yellow bug that had somehow outlived every car the Swan-Mills family had ever owned.
Olivia smiled, "This is a cute car."
"It's my Ma's. This is the car she brought me back to Storybrooke in. It's been in our family ever since" Henry said with a fond smile at the old car.
"Wow. Go Volkswagen" Olivia said and entered the car.
When they entered the hospital they were greeted with the bright face of Dr. Whale.
"Hey Henry" he said and gave Henry a firm handshake.
"Hey Dr. Whale! I thought you were down helping Ruby with decorations?" he asked.
"I was! And Ruby wasn't happy when I had to leave especially after she littered our apartment with a ton of fairylights for the occasion but when you get a call that the sheriff broke her hand and it needs set you come running. Especially when she's married to the mayor" he said and laughed.
"She broke it!?" Henry exclaimed.
"She punched a solid wooden wall Henry" Dr. Whale said.
"Ah shit. I bet mom is livid" Henry said. "Well thanks Dr. Whale. I'll see you later at the party."
"See you later Henry" Dr. Whale said and left the waiting area.
"This will not be good" Henry said and grabbed Olivia's hand.
When he walked into the room he saw his blonde mother being fitted for a cast by a nurse while his brunette mother sat in a chair on the other side of the bed looking totally unimpressed, obviously seething.
"Hey kid" Emma said when she saw Henry.
"Hey Ma" Henry started. "What's the damage?"
"Your mother has to wear a cast for 3 weeks. She broke two fingers and three knuckles" Regina said looking straight at Emma with that patent Evil Queen stare that she had perfected.
"Listen if you hadn't" Emma started.
"STOP!" Henry cut her off.
"This is your anniversary party! 10 years you two have been together! This is supposed to be a happy day and you two are arguing over the song you're going to dance to! You guys are being ridiculous!" Henry yelled.
Both women looked stunned and then ashamed. They knew they were being ridiculous.
"So we are going to figure this shit out before tonight and then we are all going to have a great fucking time! Okay?!" Henry yelled.
"Henry language" Regina said.
"Sorry mom, but it called for it" Henry said. "Now what is something that you two are arguing about? We'll fix it."
"Well" Emma started. "I picked this really cool DJ a couple of days ago and your mother met him yesterday and doesn't like him so she said no but we don't have any other people."
"I've met him and he is a seedy character. I do not want people bumping and grinding at our lovely party" Regina said.
"He's cool!" Emma said.
"Where did you meet him?" Regina asked.
"At the Rabbit Hole" Emma said and winced knowing how bad it sounded.
"So you hired a DJ from the dirtiest bar in town. Good job Emma" Regina said and crossed her arms.
"We keep the DJ but give him a list of approved songs he can play" Henry said. "Is that acceptable?"
"Yes" Regina said.
"Ya" said Emma. "I like the bumping and grinding music" she said under her breath as the woman wrapped her hand.
"I know you do dear but our party will not have that" Regina said in a sweeter tone than she had been using before.
"Next?" Henry asked.
"The food that your mom picked is gross. I don't like salmon" Emma said and stuck her tongue out, making Olivia laugh.
"Salmon is delicious and healthy" Regina stated.
"It's gross" Emma said. "And I won't eat it."
"Have Ruby make ma a steak special before everyone else goes to eat" Henry said.
"That'll work" Emma said.
"Okay" Regina agreed.
"What else?" Henry asked.
"Well the last thing we we're arguing about is the song we're going to dance to" Regina said.
"I want to dance to The Way You Look Tonight because it's beautiful and romantic" Regina said.
"I don't like that song" Emma said under her breath.
"Well what song do you want to dance to? Huh? Straight Outta Compton? I won't do it Emma" Regina said.
"That's not the song at all" Emma said clearly hurt.
Regina felt bad then and walked over so that she was standing in front of her wife. The nurse had finished Emma's cast and she was just sitting there staring at the ground. So Regina took Emma's good hand in hers.
Regina placed her finger under Emma's chin and lifted her face so that she could look into Emma's bright green eyes. "What song do you want to dance to baby?" Regina asked quietly.
"If I tell you, you have to promise not to laugh at me" Emma said.
"I promise. Please tell me" Regina prompted.
"Mine by Taylor Swift" Emma said and looked at Regina.
Regina laughed.
"YOU PROMISED!" Emma yelled.
"I'm laughing because you don't realize how perfect you are" Regina said and cupped her wife's face in her hands.
"I don't know why I didn't think of that song. You sing it to me all the time! Our first date was a picnic by the water. My father was careless and you definitely made me a rebel" they both laughed at that.
"And you are most definitely the best thing that has ever been mine" Regina said and captured Emma's lips between hers.
Henry couldn't believe these two amazingly stubborn women were his mothers. Sometimes he had to pinch himself when he thought about how perfect they were for each other.
These two women were bat shit crazy. But they were bat shit crazy for each other, and he wouldn't have them any other way.
I hope to have Chapter 3 up tomorrow. But Thursday at the latest! Thanks for all your reviews! Love them and keep them coming!
