Regina let herself drift off to sleep, and soon Emma did too. When she awoke the new morning there was a note beside the bed, "didn't want to wake you, but I had to leave before the kid got up. Can't wait for tonight. Have a good day Madame Mayor." Regina smiled and got up to prepare herself for the day. At 7:30 AM she made her way down the stairs.

"Good morning Henry. Did you enjoy your night?"

"Yes Mom,we better get going. I've got to set up my project before class."

"Sure dear, gather your things. I'll meet you in the car." She then reached for her phone once she was safely inside her Benz.

"I got your note this morning, have a good day Sheriff."

"Mom! Let's go!"

"Yes Henry, sorry I was checking emails." She put the car in drive and headed towards the school.

"Henry, I'll be picking you up at 4 sharp. Emma and I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh...okay Mom. Is there something wrong?"

"No dear, nothing's wrong. Try not to worry. I love you my prince, have a good day."

Emma and Regina tried their best to focus on their work and daily duties, but one thing was certain. Their minds were elsewhere. For the Sheriff, it was a normal day filled with helping cats down from trees and locking up criminals (if there were any), same ole same ole. On the other hand Regina was about to pull her hair out. Her assistant was out for the day with the flu, which left her to take care of every single call and message among other things. She was becoming more than ill, she was livid. This was a lot to take on all at once while her brain swarmed with thoughts of Emma and Henry. Glancing at the clock, it was now 3:45, and she finally stopped to catch her breath. She quickly gathered her things, slipped on her coat and headed for the door. At 4 PM she promptly arrived at the school to pick up her son. Henry noticed his mother, and quickly ran to the car. He was certainly eager to hear what his mothers had to say.

"So, I was thinking of Spaghetti for dinner? Emma loves spaghetti and I'm sure she would love to try yours mom."

"That sounds good dear, she'll be over at 5:30. That should give me plenty of time to prepare."

"...Mom, if there was something wrong, you'd tell me right?"

"Oh Henry, nothing is wrong. In fact we are going to discuss...Christmas."

"Christmas?! Are you going to ask Emma to join us? I know I was supposed to split the day between the two of you, but I want us to be together...just us three. I know that she's not really family but she is my family and family is supposed to be together on Christmas. That means you too Mom."

"Henry, that's what dinner is for. We'll discuss this all in good time."

Regina started dinner as she paced the kitchen nervously. She was lost in her thoughts... She loved her, but she feared her leaving. She feared losing Henry, and she feared losing her. Regina pulled the toast out of the oven and relaxed as she felt the heat against her face. "Mmm...Henry please go wash up for dinner, Emma should be here at any moment."

"What'd you call her?"

"I called her by her name."

"But you never call her Emma, and you never sound excited to have her over mom..."

"Henry", she said leaning into the counter close enough to meet his face, "Anything that you absolutely need to know, you will know as soon as you was up for dinner and Emma gets here. Not a moment sooner." As the boy rushed up the stairs, Regina caught a glimpse of Emma's car. The Queen opened the door before she could knock, and Emma immediately noticed the fear in her face.

"Everything okay?"

"Yes. Henry is just rather anxious and he won't back down. Are you sure you want to do this? I mean... Are you ready for this? ... All of this?", she said motioning to the house around her. Emma took the other woman's hand into her own, "I've never been so ready to do something in my whole life, and I can't wait to do it with you Regina. I'm here to stay." With that, she kissed her forehead and pulled away, careful not to let Henry see. The boy soon came running down the stairs, grabbing his mother into his embrace.

"Hey Ma! Let's eat!"

"Whoa. Hey kid. Did you have a good day at school?"

"Ehh it was alright, we didn't do much since we were getting out for break. I convinced Mom to make Spaghetti for you!"

"You did?" She said glancing up at the brunette before her. Regina smiled and nodded at the two before taking a seat at the table. Henry and Emma filled their mouths with the delicious pasta and garlic bread, but it wasn't enough to silence him for long.

"So can we talk now? I've been worried all day."

"Of course my prince. What is it you wish to discuss?"

"Mom, you know what I mean."

Regina took a deep breath. Looking over, Emma nodded to reassure her.

"Henry... How would you- how would you feels about having Emma here more often?"

"That'd be awesome, but why?"

"Kid I think I uh. I know that it's hard to understand but then again so is your entire life, so whys this any different." Emma rambled on as the brunette stood. She shook her head, planting her finger tips on the table.

"What your mother is trying to say is that we've become very close... And we seem to be enjoying each others company now."

"So are you guys like...together?"

"Is that what you want Henry?"

"I want the both of you to get along, and I want us to be a family. If you guys love each other then I'm okay with that. Especially if it means Emma being her a lot more."

" Well, it's settled then."

"Can she stay for christmas break and open presents with us oh and dinner too?!"

"Hold your horses there kid. I don't think your mom is ready for all of that. I can be a handful and us together..."

"Actually, I was going to ask. I want you here, if this is where you would like to be."
