The stroll


Regina


I headed out of the bedroom and out of the back door of the house. I didn't want to run into any grown up I needed to think. "God Regina get your head in the game. This is a business arrangement. Nothing more." I told myself as I tiptoed out past a play area.

"Momma Gina!" I heard a little voice. I turned and in the playhouse I saw Henry's sweet little face peeking at me.

"Hey Henry." I said smiling at the boy.

"Come play with me!" He said

"don't get attached Regina.." I muttered to myself as I walked toward the little boy. he was going to be my undoing once this was over. I was feeling things for this little family. I couldn't allow myself to do that. "What are you playing Henry?" I asked.

"I'm decorating for the wedding. and This T-Rex is you, and mommy is this one." He said holding up a pterodactyl. Huh… interesting choice.

"Oh… okay" I said getting down and crawling into the playhouse which was big enough for Henry and me plus one other adult. It was intricate and femenine so I assume it was Emma's as a child. Though Henry had added some manly touches here and there, for where there should be dolls there were Dinosaurs and trucks everywhere.

"Here, You can be you, and you tell mommy what to do." He said.

"I'm not supposed to tell her what to do. We decide together." I said

"But Grampy said you were Mommy's boss." Henry said his little face twisted in confusion.

"Yes, but only at work." I said. "Our wedding is not work, it's a party."

"Oh…" He said looking around the room. "Okay so This is going to be our wedding Cake" he said reaching for our nearby football. "What do you think?"

"It's really big." I said.

"Yeah, I want it to be really bigger than us so we will always have cake." He said with a big smile.

"What flavor is it?" I asked.

"Cocolate." He said

"Ah… I like chocolate."

"Yes I like you better than the man I met at mommy's house when I went there." Henry said. "My daddy tooked me there to s'prise mommy and he was there." He said smiling at me. "He didn't like me."

That peeked my interest. I wondered how many men little Henry had met. "Did he sleepover?" I asked.

"No… mommy made him go." Henry said. "But he forgotted his shirt and mommy threw it out the window." I laughed. I could only imagine she didn't want the man in her home when her child was there. "Then you called her on the phone, I member 'cause she said she has to go see Regina. She tooked me to the lady next door and I ate cooked bananas."

I raised an eyebrow, "Did you like them?" He nodded. "I'm sorry Henry."

"Momma Gina?" He said his thoughts turned internal. "Do you love my mommy?"


Emma


What was I thinking. Regina was right. They would never find out what was happening. Besides, maybe we could go out on a couple of dates see what it is like. Not saying that I'd be the one ending her dry spell, but I really need to figure out what it is that is happening to me.

I got a text from Ruby shortly after Regina went for her walk. I reached for the phone and was happy to learn that the phone I had ordered from portland had arrived. They didn't have an iphone in stock here in Storybrooke so I had to special order it for her.

I got out of bed and got dressed quickly then headed downstairs. I kissed mom on the cheek to thank her for the cinnamon buns. "Where's the kid?" I asked.

"He is in the playhouse in the back." she answered.

"Sweet, we're going to go get Regina's replacement phone in town." I said.

"Remember we have a lot to do for the wedding tomorrow, stay down town." Mom said.

I nodded and jogged out to the playhouse. I heard voices inside. I heard Henry talking about the time I had kicked Graham out of my apartment when Neal showed up with him around Henry's birthday. I smiled when the only thing she had to say was ask about the fried plantains.

"I'm sorry Henry." she said softly. I got closer to the playhouse now that it seemed to be a lull in conversation.

"Momma Gina, Do you love my mommy?" he asked.

My heart pounded. "Uh…. Y-" she started but I decided I needed to interrupt her before she lied to my child.

"Hey guys! you ready to go to town?" I asked. Then I looked at Regina. "Your phone arrived this morning, you want to go get it?"

"Yes," Regina said and stood in the little house. The three of us stepped out on to the back yard and straight to my little bug in the garage.

"WHat the hell is this?" Regina asked looking at the car apalled.

I smirked. "It's my first baby. I've had it longer than henry."

"It's a death trap!" she said continuing to look at it.

"Fine then, we will walk." I said

"Mommy I don't want to walk." Henry said and reached for his booster seat that was always in the garage.

"Fine." Regina said opening up the door. I opened my door and let the seat move forward for Henry so that he could set himself up on the booster.

We drove toward the store and were greeted by Ruby. "Hey little man!" Ruby said picking up Henry.

"Hey Red." He said. I smiled because he had been saying that since I told him about how all names had a meaning. every time he thought of a name he asked me what they meant I told him I didn't know to most of them including mine. I told him that Henry meant Rules the Home. Then he had asked me what Ruby meant and I said Red.

"You are so smart you still remember that." Ruby said with a smile.

"My name means Rules the home. Mommy said that means I'm the king." Henry said. Then he looked at me. "Momm! What does Regina mean?"

"It means Queen." I said softly.

Regina looked at me and smiled. Then she dimured and hung back. Waiting for her phone I supposed. "A king and a Queen… Mommy I think the name Emma means Princess."

"It actually means Universal ." she said. My eyebrows shot up. "Like she is for everyone"

I looked at Regina wondering how she had even filed that in her memory.

"Well she is certainly for you" Ruby said and Regina blushed.

"That she is," Regina agreed and I wondered if she would like to date me too.

I clared my throat and looked away. "Ruby, where's my phone?"

"Yeah, Here..." she said handing me the box. I gave it to Regina and paid for the phone.

"Ms… Emma, I could have paid for that." Regina said.

"My kid threw your phone in the toilet, It was the least I could do."

She Looked at Ruby who looked a little perplexed at the way we were talking to each other and a glimpse of Henry. "He's our kid… I make more money than you."

I raised an eyebrow, "I'm loaded."

"I recall you said that your parents were loaded, not you." Regina said with a smirk.

I laughed, "Fine… It's a gift though. Next time."

She nodded. "Good… Is there a jewelry shop here? We have to get the rings for tomorrow."

"Sure let's go."


Regina


Emma walked along the sidewalk swinging Henry between the two of us. "Hey Emma, and Regina!"

I turned and there was the Mayor and Granny coming toward us. "Oh God…" I heard Emma grumble beside me

"We have a double dress fitting and a very tricky situation to keep you guys from seeing each other in your dresses. We do not have much time." Mary margaret said taking us both by the arm, sending Henry into Granny's arms. I immediately felt the loss of my newly acquired Son as if I had been taking care of him since birth. How did Emma stay away for so long.

Well Emma and I in the same store in two separate rooms trying on dresses and Mary Margaret and Granny shuttled back and forth between us. These women would not be satisfied. and the selection of gowns left much to be desired.

I stared at myself in a mirror with a gown shaped like a bell. It was large and so not my style. Mary Margaret walked into the dressing room and shook her head "it does not suit you," she said with a sigh. She looked at a thin gown in her hand. "This… maybe this would work. It isn't exactly a wedding style gown, but… will you try?"

I nodded and took the gown a silken off shoulder cross wrap dress that hugged my curves beautifully, the collar embellished with hand stitched beads in a mermaid style the train gathering up on the right side of my body. My breath hitched as I looked at myself in the mirror. This was it. and I wondered if I should be wasting this on a wedding I didn't really want. With someone who did not love me.

"Oh… Emma!" I could hear in the room next door. "that Gown…" I didn't hear Emma's response, she usually had something to say about whatever it is she was wearing. "Are you crying?"

"No…" I heard and I smiled at the answer because it was a watery answer.

"You're getting this one?"

"Yeah…" Emma stated… "Help me… There's a million buttons."

I laughed as silently as I could and made my decision about this dress… I Emma loved hers, I should love mine. I loved this dress. I checked out the price tag and nearly had a stroke. 10 Thousand… what the hell were the beads real gold? I looked the dress over I mean there wasn't much embellishment of fabric. No gold… but crystals and pearls. "Christ." I said and began to remove my dress as well.

"Regina!" Mary margaret said as she looked at me. Then she took in my look of desperation. "Oh honey… I don't care how much it costs, I'm buying!"

"I couldn't let you do that." I said pulling the dress off.

"You look beautiful." Mary Margaret whispered. "And you will look so next to my daughter who will be stunning."

Mary margaret paid for the Gowns, and headed off to do a Cake Tasting. Henry went along with them. I headed the opposite direction. I couldn't handle this… I couldn't do this We had to call everything off. "Regina!" Emma called. "wait, where are you going."

"I just need to go… I need to think." I said

"Do you know where you are going?" She asked following me into her little Bug.

"Give me the keys!" I ordered.

She got into the Car with me and handed me they keys. "What's going on?"

"Just shut up." I said starting the car toward a wooded street. "Let me think."

and she did. She didn't say anything for ten minutes. As we approached the town line she said again. "What happened."

"I forgot what it was like to have a family. To have someone give you everything you want just because they love you. You have that, and I keep you away from it."

"No you don't" Emma said.

"What if they find out this is just a reuse."

"They aren't going to find out!" Emma sated.

"How do you know?" I cried. Oh god… I didn't want this to be a lie but it was and all of this just made it feel weird.

"Because you told me so." Emma said and reached a hand to mine. "Turn here." she whispered, I did as I was told and we entered a wooded road. it was not much more than a path that lead to a clearing. "Stop the car."

I did so and put my head on the steering wheel and cried. "This isn't going to work."

She reached her arms around me and pulled me close. "It's not supposed to work… But we will make it work." she whispered to me and kissed my Temple.

I turned my head and looked at her. Her sea green eyes looked back at me not with fear or annoyance at this total break down but with concern and something else that I couldn't place. She raked my hair back behind my ear without breaking eye contact. I did break eye contact however, because my eyes continued to flick between her lips and back.

She got the hint and smirk slightly just before she eased her head forward and pressed her lips to mine. I licked at her bottom lip to see if she would grant me access. She parted her lips and my tongue reached out to explore the sweetness of her mouth.

Her arms pressed me tighter to her causing me to lift out of the driver seat. I straddled her lap and her hand disappeared from arround me and suddenly instead of sitting up she was lying on her back. I had to say this was much more comfortable. We explored each other, though we didn't take it too far. Emma's phone rang as her hand had begun to rub on my belly.

I Jumped and hit my head on the roof of the car. "Ow." I said.

She smiled and reached her pocket. "Mom?"

"No It's Henryyy." The little boy said as I could hear him since we were piled on each other.

I smiled and kissed her cheek softly. "What's up Henry?"

"Grammy says it's time for you and Momma to stop hanging out together." The kid said and I realize it was less than 24 hours from then that we would be getting married. I climbed off her lap and started the car.

"We will be home soon.
