Chapter 4
As Regina and Henry danced they were smiling and laughing. The guests all cleared the ballroom to look at their future queen dancing with the orphaned peasant, some with awe and others with admiration. When the king suddenly stormed in with a snarl.
"Stop!" he growled at the band. "This- this monster will not be marrying anyone!" he said pointing accusingly at Regina as she held tightly to the now crying Henry.
"What's going on here?" Blue said appearing in blue smoke.
"Why didn't you tell me she was like her mother?" Leopold said angrily.
"Because your majesty I foresaw that Regina's magic would save the kingdom, from a looming threat," Blue said smiling at Regina and young Henry.
"Blue may I have a private would with you?" Emma said interrupting the argument her father was about to continue.
"Of course, your highness."
"Blue I want to know if there is anyway Regina and I can magically adopt Henry?" The blonde said as the fairy floated.
"Yes, but what do you mean? Do you want him to share your blood or just be apart of the royal family."
"I want him to inherit the throne, and for no one to question it." The blonde said firmly.
"Your Highness there's a way, and it would require you to be married to your future bride." the fairy said as an idea popped into her tiny little head.
"We could do it on the day of your wedding?" said the brunette happily.
"That is a grand idea. It will show that our kingdom has stability in an heir and future monarchs." Emma said smiling happily.
"Thank you Blue, now if you'll excuse me I'd like to go tell my fiance the news!"
"Regina, you'll never guess what I just found out," Emma said to her bride as they watched young Henry and old Henry talking animatedly.
"What?" Regina said smiling.
"We can magically adopt Henry! He can be ours forever." Emma said talking her fiance's hands.
"Really! That's wonderful!" she said embracing her blonde savior.
"Henry, might we have a word with you?" Emma said kneeling down.
"Of course your highness. What is it?" he said shyly.
"Henry do you want to stay here with us and be a part of our family?" Regina said nervously.
"Like as a family?" the young boy said bashfully.
"Like a big happy family!" Emma said picking him up and setting him on her hip.
