Emma was at The Rabbit Hole to deal with Leroy yet again, when she heard people talking about Rothbart's sexual assault on her and it caused her to remember everything and she started to tremble and when a male customer touched her shoulder Emma started to scream and backed away sinking to the ground Leroy had sobered up enough to gently touch Emma's arm to bring her back to reality.
"Princess let me take you home."
Without another word Emma let Leroy guide her out the door and back to the mayoral mansion.
The front door was flung open and Regina rushed toward them.
"Leroy what happened to her?"
"Some of the people at The Rabbit Hole were talking about what had happened to her and she just had a complete breakdown."
"She remembered but how is that possible I destroyed that memory?" Regina said in confusion.
"I wouldn't have a clue. Do you want me to help get her inside?"
"No that's ok Leroy I've got her thank you."
Regina scooped Emma up and carried her inside.
Once inside Regina placed Emma on the sofa.
"Emma I'll be right back."
Regina entered the kitchen where Cora was making dinner.
"Mother we have a problem."
"What's wrong?"
"The spell I cast it didn't work."
"I thought you said she didn't remember what happened to her."
"She didn't until she heard people at The Rabbit Hole talking about it and the memory returned. She had a breakdown now she's sitting in the living room practically catatonic."
Suddenly a bright light came from the living room and Emma cried out which became a honk midway.
"Not again."
Regina went into the living room and found that Emma had once again turned into a swan.
"Oh Emma what am I going to do with you?"
"You could stroke my neck."
"You can talk how is this possible?"
"I guess this time is different than the curse that Rothbart placed on me."
"How exactly did this happen?"
"The only thing I remember was how safe I felt as a swan and the next thing I knew I felt myself changing form."
"There was a white light that appeared before you cried out, it may be an extension of your powers."
"So now I can shapeshift too?"
"It appears that way but to be 100% sure try to change back and forth."
Emma concentrated and the swan melted away leaving Emma in human form then she changed herself again to swan and back to human again.
"Looks like you were right."
"Emma I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"The reason you had that breakdown was because I removed the memory of what happened to you and people talking about it made you remember."
"Regina don't blame yourself you were only trying to help me."
"Stop that."
"Stop what?"
"Stop being so understanding."
"You want to know a good thing about being able to turn myself into a swan?"
"What's the good thing?"
"If we have an argument I can fly away."
"Emma!"
"Kidding."
Regina tackled Emma to the ground and started to tickle her.
"Jeez Regina did you have to tackle me so hard?"
"What's wrong?"
"Well thanks to your tackle I hit the back of my head on the floor."
"Let me check for a bump."
Emma sat up and Regina gently felt the back of the blonde's head, Emma winced when Regina's hand found a large bump.
"Well you definitely have a goose egg."
"Really? Because the pain would suggest a lump the size of the town."
"Stop exaggerating dear."
Emma glared at Regina with a scowl but neither stayed long as Emma noticed that Regina was deep in thought.
"Everything ok Regina?"
"Oh yes I was just thinking."
"What about?"
"Well you and I have been together for sometime now and I was wondering how these would look with you wearing them."
Regina took out a ring and a tiara.
"The tiara was going to be yours when you reached the same age Snow did when she got hers and I found it where Maleficent had been and the ring I used my magic to create so it is one of a kind. Emma will you marry me?"
"Will I have to change my last name?"
"I don't think you have to but just out of curiosity why don't you want to be Emma Mills?"
"Swan was the last name I gave myself just so I really existed it makes me special and different."
"How about if we hyphen both Mills and Swan?"
"So what would it be Mills-Swan or Swan-Mills?"
"Which do you like better?"
"Swan-Mills."
"Then that's what it will be."
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?"
"I don't think you have today."
"Well let me rectify that immediately."
Emma leaned forward and kissed Regina long and with every ounce of love she could put into it, when she pulled away they were both breathing hard.
"I love you so much." Emma said once she caught her breath.
Days passed and Emma was planning on the best date ever while Regina was planning on a surprise of her own.
The day came and Emma was so nervous she was wearing a hole in Regina's carpet.
"Dear if you don't stop that my daughter will not be happy."
"Cora I am so nervous."
"Really I had no idea. What's got you so nervous?"
"I'm nervous that Regina won't like the place I chose for our date she always chose the place but now I have and I'm worried it won't meet her standards and that she'll realise that if I can get something like this wrong then she'll realise that I'm not worth her marrying and she'll leave me just like Neal did. I'm scared of being abandoned again."
"Oh Emma, Regina won't do that and besides she told me that she was worried that she may have set the bar to high she doesn't want you to feel like you have to compete with the places she's taken you to and she loves you too much to leave you you mean so much to her you are her true love and happy ending."
"Thanks."
Cora gave Emma a gentle hug and warm smile.
Emma took Regina to a Spanish restaurant where she surprised Regina by speaking fluent Spanish to the staff as she ordered for the both of them.
"Emma I had no idea that you spoke such fluent Spanish."
"You remember how when you had Sydney dig into my past and you saw all the places I had been?"
"Yes."
"Well do you remember how I dropped off the grid for 3 years?"
"Yes I thought that a bit odd."
"Well I spent those 3 years in Spain with a Spanish girl and her family."
"Well I must say I'm impressed."
"Do you like this restaurant?"
"I like it very much Emma my dear you really out did yourself."
Emma smiled, when dinner was finished Regina got Emma to drive to a place where she had her surprise set up.
"Regina why is the whole town here?"
"Because Emma I decided that we should get married today."
"I'm not dressed right."
Regina used her magic and Emma stood there in the most beautiful wedding gown with diamonds sewn on and her hair was in a single braid.
"Now you are ready."
Soon Emma and Regina were married and everyone was happy.
The end.
