"And this is my favorite place on earth", Emma said as she introduced Regina to a pizzeria.
"Granny's perfect pizza", Regina read the sign above and Emma smiled wide nodding.
"Yep. It's Ruby's grandma that owns the place. Come on"
Regina smirked and followed the blonde inside. "Hey Granny", Emma called out and Granny came out from the kitchen seeing the blonde standing with a brunette next to her.
"Hello dear. What can I get you two?", she asked and Emma smiled at Regina.
"Should we find a table? We'll look at the menu and see what you have Granny", Emma said and Regina nodded finding a spot while Granny smiled nodding.
"You can present my menu without a single paper Emma"
Emma chuckled nodding before sitting down at the opposite of Regina. "You can really do that?", Regina asked impressed and Emma chuckled, blushing a little.
"Yeah. Granny has owned the place since I can remember. Me and my family eat here almost every Friday", she told and Regina smiled nodding.
"That sounds amazing"
Emma smiled nodding before looking down in the menu, even though she did in fact know it in and out. "So. Tell me about you. What are you doing for a living?", Emma decided to ask. At this Regina gave a tight smile and shrugged.
"I don't do anything actually", she said and Emma frowned at her.
"You don't have a job? A way to make your own money?"
Regina kept smiling tightly as she shook her head. "I don't need to, to be honest. My family is wealthy", she explained and Emma widened her eyes. There was never a single moment in the future where she believed Regina's family were wealthy people. She never showed any of that.
Sure their house in the future was luxurious and it was everything Emma could have ever dreamed of, but she expected it to be from the money they'd earned together after years of saving.
"But... Ho-how wealthy are we talking about?"
Emma knew it was a rude question but she needed the answers. And from the looks of it, Regina didn't take it hard. She actually smiled at the question.
"Wealthy enough not to ever need a job or a career in my life. Enough to live for decades"
Emma widened her eyes and looked away. This was going to be wired. "But I don't want that", Regina quickly added though. "I don't want to live and do nothing with my life. I want to do something you know?", she said and Emma smiled nodding in understanding.
"I get it"
"Jordan a little more straight and you're there", Emmett said to the boy and said boy nodded, changing his pose. Emmett smiled watching the kids stand pose. He turned to see his father filling out some papers and he smiled turning back to his team, but stopped when he saw a certain redhead walk inside.
Zelena turned to see Emmett standing a few feet away and she smiled at the sight of the boy. "Hello", a voice said though and Zelena turned to see a man walk towards him.
"Hi. Are you David?", she asked and David smiled nodding, offering his hand.
"Yes. David Swan. I'm the couch. You must be Zelena"
"I am. I wanted to check out the club before me and my sister start here", she explained and David nodded in understanding.
"Sure. Look around. And oh, this is my son Emmett", he said turning to the boy, calling him over.
"What's up?", he asked and turned to Zelena who smiled at him.
"Hey Zelena. Nice to see you again"
"You two know each other?", David asked and Zelena smiled nodding.
"We do. He and Emma showed me and my sister around the school today. We just started", she said and David nodded in surprise.
"She and Regina are actually together right now I believe. Emma is showing her around"
David nodded impressed while Emmett stared at the beautiful redhead. He needed to pull himself together. He and Jess were still together despite their little moment yesterday morning.
The ride home to Regina's house was quiet, both girls having lots of thoughts on their minds. Emma about the future, assuring herself everything would be fine. That she would figure it all out.
Regina's mind were on a subject she never thought her mind would ever go. A girl. A specific girl. And all she could think about was that girl. That blonde. How was someone like Emma so perfect? She just didn't understand and her feelings got stronger every damn minute she spent with the blonde.
"Alright, we're here", Emma said bringing the brunette back from her thoughts. Regina looked at her house before turning to Emma who looked at her with furrowed eyebrows. "You okay?"
"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. It's just been a long day, that's all"
Emma nodded and got out of the car making Regina get out as well. They walked to the front door and Regina turned to the blonde, smiling at her. "Thank you for showing me around today Emma. It was lovely", she said and Emma smiled nodding.
"Anytime"
Regina smiled and leaned in, kissing the girl softly on the cheek. Emma felt her heart beat faster at the kiss. It took her every single strength in her body not to just kiss the brunette on the lips. But she kept her cool and looked at the brunette who smirked back at her.
"Good night Emma", she said before walking inside, leaving the blonde to stand alone on the porch. A big smile spread on her face as she walked back to her car and drove off. She was on the right track.
Once she was home she walked inside and into the living room, seeing her parents sitting on the couch, watching tv. "Hey", she said making her presence known and the two parents turned to their daughter.
"Hi sweetie. How was your trip?", Mary Margaret asked and Emma looked at her mother with furrowed eyebrows.
"How did you–"
"Someone came to the club today, telling us you were with a girl today. A specific one that is", David said and Emma immediately knew who it was. Regina told her that she and Zelena would start in their club and Zelena was going over there today.
"Yeah well. All I did was showing her around", she said sitting down in the other couch and Mary Margaret raised an eyebrow.
"So that lipstick on your cheek is your own?", she asked nodding towards her daughter's cheek and Emma frowned, letting her palm touch her cheek before looking at the palm.
"She kissed my cheek when I drove her home. No big deal", Emma decided to say, quickly standing again. She knew where this was going.
"Emma what if she doesn't accept–"
"Then I won't waste another single minute on her mom. Take it easy okay?", she immediately stopped her mother and walked upstairs without another word. She walked over to Emmett's room and knocked on the door before opening it.
"Em? You there?"
She saw Emmett sitting in his bed, his computer on his lap. "Hey, what's up? How did it go with Regina?", he asked looking at her and Emma sighed deep, closing the door behind her before walking over to the bed, sitting down next to him.
"Fine I guess. Mom and dad asked about it the moment I stepped inside. They're afraid she won't–"
"Accept you being trans", Emmett finished and Emma nodded looking down at her fingers.
"I like her Em", she admitted and Emmett smiled at her.
"It's okay Emma. But don't worry. She will accept you", he said and Emma nodded looking at the computer screen.
"What is that?"
"Just some chemistry"
Emma chuckled and got out of bed. "Gee. Good luck man", she said before walking out, earning a chuckle in return. She closed the door behind her and walked into her own room, immediately laying down. It didn't take her long before she was gone.
"Alright mom, I'm gonna go to work", Emma said as she walked into the kitchen, watching her mother make breakfast and Mary Margaret turned to her daughter smiling at her.
"Alright honey, have a good day"
Emma smiled kissing her mother's cheek before leaving the house. She got into her car and drove off towards her work. Once there she smiled getting out of the car and she immediately discovered her friend Ashley standing behind the counter.
"Hey Ash. How are you?", Emma asked and the girl looked up from the cashier to see the blonde walk inside.
"Morning Em. I'm good. Our first costumer actually just came in", she said nodding towards the door Emma had literally just walked through and she saw a man walking inside.
"Good morning sir", she said and the man smiled at her, greeting her as well before walking up to the cashier.
The day went on like it always did. Customers coming in and out to get all sorts of drinks. Some hot morning coffee to go to work and others cappuccinos and sweets.
"So. I heard you were with a girl this Tuesday. Anyone special?", Ashley suddenly asked and Emma frowned at the girl. Did everyone know?
"Just a new girl I showed around. No big deal", she said, quickly passing it by, but Ashley nodded as she placed some more muffins on their place. But Emma could see there was something more, but someone stopped her from asking.
"Emma?", a voice said and the two girls turned to see a brunette walking inside, an elder man right behind her.
"Regina. Hi", she greeted the girl, a casual smile on her face. Ashley eyed Emma with a smirk before continuing refilling.
"What can I get you?", Emma asked and Regina smiled turning to the man.
"What do you want daddy?"
The man gave Emma a smile before looking at the menu written on blackboards on the wall behind Emma. "I will just take a black coffee for now", the man said and Emma smiled nodding but Regina groaned.
"Daddy you promised to try something different", she said and the man sighed looking at his daughter.
"Not today honey. You know daddy doesn't feel so good", he explained and Regina sighed looking down and Emma could see the sadness in Regina's facial expression. It was obvious something was up.
"Just two black coffees to go then", Regina said looking at Emma, a now fake smile plastered on her face and Emma saw right through it.
When Regina looked into the green eyes of the blonde, she could immediately read the unspoken question. Everything okay?
Regina sighed, shaking her head. It's fine
Emma nodded writing down the order before turning to the father. "Names please?"
"Regina and Henry"
Emma froze, recognizing the name. Her son. Their son. He was named after her father. Before she could stop herself, a tear fell and Regina and her father furrowed their eyebrows at the girl.
"You okay Emma?", Regina asked worried and Emma shook her head, getting back to the present and nodded, quickly drying the tear away.
"Yes I'm fine. Sorry, allergies", she said quickly brushing it off but Regina saw right through it. "Your coffee will be ready in a minute", Emma said though before Regina had the chance to say anything and the brunette sighed nodding, mentally telling herself to talk to the blonde later.
The father and daughter went to sit down as they waited and Emma turned around, taking a deep breath before beginning making their coffee.
"Just a new girl? Not a big deal?", Ashley suddenly came over asking and Emma turned to her with furrowed eyebrows as she poured the coffee into the to-go cups.
"What?"
"That's the girl you showed around isn't it?", she asked and Emma nodded. Ashley chuckled patting Emma's shoulder.
"That Em, is a big deal", she said and Emma frowned.
"Why?"
"You tell me you haven't noticed the way she looks at you? Em she's completely lost in you", Ashley said and Emma sighed looking at the coffee. She knew Regina liked her. It wasn't like she was good at hiding it. But she had to act surprised to she wouldn't look suspicious.
"Sorry can't see it", she said before turning to the counter.
"Regina and Henry"
The father and daughter smiled standing and took their coffees before walking to the door, only to be stopped as a boy walked in. Emma smiled as she saw Emmett walk in, but Regina's father immediately widened his eyes.
"Emmett Swan", he said and Emmett looked at the man.
"Yes?"
"My name is Henry Mills. It's an honor to meet you"
Emmett smiled and took the man's offered hand, shaking it softly. "Thank you sir. And congratulations with your daughter's win. She should feel proud being the world champion"
Henry smiled at his daughter and Emmett could see the pride in his eyes.
