So I took a leap with this chapter. I'm not sure how many will like this, but I decided to skip into the future a little. It's been beta read by the lovely thewickedregal and Tasha. Thank you so much for all the reviews, favorites, and follows. I'm so happy that my writing can be enjoyed by so many. Enjoy! [=

Two years later

Emma

Emma woke up with a start, clutching the thick blankets around her. The sun pained her eyes as she rubbed them and tried to blink against the rays shining through the window. Once her eyes focused, she rolled over, lazily throwing her legs over the edge of the bed but didn't sit up just yet. The smell of coffee rolled into the bright room, causing Emma to sit up then as she sniffed through the air. Throwing the covers off, she slipped on her slippers and walked from the bedroom to the staircase and walked to the kitchen.

Regina was leaning against the island sipping the hot beverage as she looked up to see Emma enter. A smile spread across her lips behind the mug and steam. Emma smiled sweetly as her hand when to the wedding band on her finger. She still couldn't believe she was married to Regina.

If you had asked her 3 years ago if she would fall in love with the Evil Queen and even be married to a woman, Emma would have thought you were crazy. She knew now though, that true love doesn't choose gender or between good and evil, it chooses hearts and Regina had Emma's. Emma walked over to Regina, kissing her warmed lips that tasted of a coffee and then got into the cabinet to get a mug for herself. She could hear Henry stomping around upstairs before she had filled her mug halfway.

Emma frowned as she put the coffee pot down and left the kitchen to go upstairs and see what all of the stomping was about. Opening Henry's door, she saw him crawling around on his hands and knees, looking under his bed and desk frantically.

"What'd you lose, kid?" Emma asked, leaning against the doorframe.

"It's nothing," Henry said, standing up cautiously.

"Doesn't seem like nothing," Emma said, arching an eyebrow.

"Ok, there's this girl at school," Henry said, Emma opening her mouth in realization, "and I got her this necklace for Valentine's day, but I can't find it anywhere."

"I'm sure your mother could help, maybe a locator potion or something?" Emma said, pointing with her thumb out of the room, indicating Regina.

"No, it's ok," Henry said, grabbing his backpack, "I'm almost late anyway, I'll just give it to her Monday." Henry pushed past Emma as he went out of the room, rounding towards the stairs as Emma followed, "By moms! I'm running late, see you later!"

"Bye, Henry, I-" Emma started as the front door slammed, "-love you." Emma murmured.

Emma made her way back downstairs to where Regina was now refilling her mug, looking over her shoulder at Emma.

"Well," Regina said, "He was in a hurry." Regina wrapped her hands around the heated mug as she looked at Emma with love.

"Yeah," Emma said, "I guess he likes this girl at school and couldn't find some necklace he got her." Regina slightly choked on her coffee.

"He's already into girls?" Regina said, setting her mug on the counter, "He's only…" Regina paused, "Well, I guess 16 is around the age kids got married in the Enchanted Forest so I should be grateful." Regina smirked at Emma.

"Yes, I was only 2 years older when I gave birth to him," Emma said, finishing making her coffee. Regina raised her eyebrow at Emma, taking in the information. The brunette picked her mug up, sipping the last sweet drops before setting it back down.

"So, I have the day off," Regina said, clapping her hands, "we stayed in the hotel the entirety of our honeymoon," Regina said, turning to Emma and resting her hands on her hips, "What do you want to do today?"

"Well," Emma said sitting her mug down on the counter beside her and tucking Regina's hair behind her ears, "I did love what we did during our honeymoon…" Emma said, capturing Regina's lips passionately, her hands moving to her sides as Regina moved her hands to Emma's buttocks. Emma moaned as she pulled away.

"But we do need to get out of the house," Regina said, smoothing Emma's hair back, "As much as I enjoyed our activities, I want to go out and do things as a married couple now."

"Like what?' Emma said, her hands still at Regina's waist.

"Well, for starters, we could go to Granny's and have breakfast." Regina said, tilting her head and cocking an eyebrow.

"That sounds amazing," Emma said, pecking Regina's lips and then moving away to grab her coffee cup and head upstairs.

Regina

It was hard for Regina to push down the urge to just keep Emma in bed with her all day, but she kept reminding herself that they had wasted an entire week on staying in their hotel. As she watched her wife walk up the stairs, she smiled at the memories of the long talks they had on their honeymoon when they were falling asleep. Talks of the future, talks of their crazy past, talks of anything and everything and nothing all at the same time. Regina pushed off the counter as she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and ascended the stairs. Emma was pulling her skinny jeans on as Regina walked into the room, the jeans fitting like a second skin over Emma's slender legs and cute little booty. She had her outfit laid across the bed, putting each article on just so and turning in the mirror to see how it looked.

Regina walked into her closet, looking once more to see what Emma was wearing, her jeans, white tank top and red leather jacket gracing her figure once again. Regina opted to wear a pair of jeans Emma had insisted she get, a nice white blouse, and a black leather jacket that was "So Regina" as Emma had put it, but also complimented Emma's red one. Regina got dressed, turning in the mirror as Emma walked to their bathroom and stood in front of her sink and started putting her makeup on, not that she ever needed any. Regina had never worn her jeans and felt a little awkward in them as she pulled on her high boots. The jeans had a little more give than the pants she was used to in the Enchanted Forest, and they were mostly similar except for the pockets.

"You almost ready?" Emma asked, brushing her teeth as she ducked out of the bathroom to look at Regina with questioning eyes and then ducked back in to spit out the toothpaste in her mouth, pulling a ponytail through her long golden locks as she did so.

"Yeah, almost," Regina said standing up and making her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth as well.

"Ok, I'll go start the car and warm it up then." Emma said, grabbing the Mercedes keys from their dresser before pecking Regina on the lips, the taste of minty toothpaste still on her lips.

The drive to Granny's was a typical drive, Regina drove with her left hand, the right hand intertwined with Emma's. Regina had played with Emma's wedding band on the way there, glancing at her own as they pulled into the parking lot at the back of the diner. Emma noticed her mother's SUV in the parking lot as they got out.

"Mom and dad are here." Emma said happily.

"I'll still never get used to calling them that." Regina said, "I practically raised Snow since she was 10." Regina and Emma laughed as they went around the side of the diner, and to the front door.

Regina spotted the Charming couple right when they walked in, hoping Emma didn't suggest they eat with her parents. To her dismay, Snow waved them over a moment later, smiling as Emma tugged at Regina's hand to follow her to their table. Regina put on her best smile and sat next to Emma across from Snow and David.

"Hey, you two," Snow beamed, "How was your honeymoon?" Regina could feel her cheeks reddening as Emma made up a bunch of stuff about sight seeing and restaurants. Regina had to give it to her, she was very good at making up something believable.

"Well, I'm glad you two had a nice time." Snow said when Emma finished.

"Can I get you guys anything?" Ruby said as she walked up to the booth, pulling a pen and small notebook from her apron.

"Uh, yeah," Emma said, smiling up at Ruby, "I'd like some apple pancakes and a hot cocoa with-"

"Cinnamon." Ruby finished for her, "Same as always."

"I'll have the same." Regina said, forcing a smile at Ruby.

As Ruby walked away, Snow leaned on her elbows towards the couple.

"Sooo…" Snow said, smiling giddily, "How's it feel to be married?"

"You mean married to someone I actually want to be married to?" Regina said, not meaning to be snarky, but it still coming out that way. Regina felt a soft smack on her arm, looking at Emma to find herself being non-verbally scalded by her wife.

"It's amazing," Emma said, trying to make up for Regina's comment.

Regina straightened up grabbing Emma's hand and looking into her emerald eyes, the diner fading away for just a moment, "I've never been happier than I have been since I've had her in my life."

Emma looked happy as she began to blush, the apples of her cheeks pinkening with each second Regina held her gaze. Regina broke eye contact, clearing her throat as she straightened up and looked at the Charmings who were lovingly watching their happy daughter and her wife.
