Three years had passed. Three years of getting their lives back on track. Regina had been stubborn as always and had managed to push herself to the limits forcing her way through the wall she needed to and getting back to normal. She was now walking quite fine without any aid and was even able to wear heels again. Not particularly high ones like she used to but heels nonetheless. She found she couldn't wear very high heels like she used to be able to.
Henry was at college in Boston, was doing very well and even had a girlfriend called Lauren. Regina wasn't too sure of her but then Emma was sure that any girl Henry brought home wouldn't be good enough for him in Regina's eyes. Lauren had a lot of impressing to do when it came to Regina but Emma expected nothing less from the brunette when it came to Henry's girlfriend and she was sure that Regina did secretly like Lauren.
Emma, well she was just happy to have her family around her and live their semi quiet life in Storybrooke.
Today her parents had re-newed their wedding vows. It had been something they had talked about for a long time and finally it had been. It was a very soppy lovey dovey ceremony (nothing Emma didn't expect from Snow White and Prince Charming) and many had cried. Emma was even sure she had seen Regina tear up a little but Regina insisted she had something in her eye.
It was now party time, food was laid out, music was blasting and everyone was having a good time. Emma sat back and watched as Henry talked with David about who knows what as Snow talked with Lauren. Lauren looked a little lost but who wouldn't in this town. Her eyes travelled around the diner and landed on her wife. Her beautiful wife who was wearing a bright red dress that hugged her fabulous curvy figure. The dress stopped just above her knees and showed off her amazing legs and she wore black heels, heels that she knew were much shorter than her wife had wanted but Emma had told her to opt for comfort.
Emma was sure that it didn't matter how long she and Regina were together she would still be amazed by the woman. She was her wife but each day she woke up beside her she felt blessed. The car crash had opened up her eyes a little more. To count her blessings and to see that each day is a gift and spending it with loved ones is an even bigger gift. Regina was everything to her and she loved her with all her heart.
Beside her wife, clinging to her with everything she had was their little two year old Rose. Not long after Regina recovering they had talked about having a child. Regina had told Emma all about magical conception and after that it didn't take long before Emma was pregnant with their child. Rose was beautiful. She had Emma's green eyes and pale skin but she had Regina's hair colour and features along with Regina's temper and could throw a sassy comment here and there even at the young age of two. It amazed Emma how like Regina Rose was and Rose was extremely clingy with Regina. Wherever Regina was you were sure to find Rose.
She smiled as she heard Wet Wet Wet's Sweet Little Mysetry playing. Although the song now also held bad memories she always tried to push those away when she heard the song. She didn't want the song to hold bad memories. The song made her think of Regina. The woman she loved. It made her think of the first time they made love. It made her think how lucky she is to have found a home in Regina and she wouldn't let it be tarnished with the memories of nearly losing the woman she loved.
No. She would put those memories to the side and forever keep the good memories. She shook her head and pushed herself up from the chair, walking over to Regina and placing her hands on the womans hips. "Don't mind if I steal my wife for a moment do you?" Emma said to Archie.
"Oh of course not Emma." Archie replied with a smile.
Emma returned his smile and she guided Regina away and over to the space in the middle of the floor, spinning her around to face her. "Emma what are you doing?" Regina asked, arching an eyebrow at the blonde. A small brunette quickly following her two mothers.
"I want to dance with you. It's one of our songs." Emma grinned her arms wrapping around Regina's waist.
Regina smirked but she did not move away from Emma. "We seem to have a lot of songs."
"Music is a way of speaking. You can say a lot with a song." Emma replied.
"Me too, me too!" Rose said tugging on Regina's dress and holding her arms out to her brunette mother. Emma playfully rolled her eyes but she moved back a little to let Regina lift Rose up, balancing her on her hip. Emma moved her arm around Rose and danced with her two girls. It was hard for Regina and herself to get time on their own as Rose had discovered she liked her mothers bed more than her own at the minute. Emma and Regina had tried everything to convince Rose to sleep in her own bed but she was stubborn, just like her brunette mother. Regina also found it hard to say no to the little brunette
Emma leaned over and blew a raspberry on the little girls cheek making her giggle. "Mama." She squealed and hid her face in Regina's neck. "Mama being silly mommy." Rose said as she looked up at Regina.
Regina smiled. "Mama always likes to be silly."
"Hey I can be serious…" Emma said acting hurt but she couldn't hide the smirk that threatened to break through.
"Of course you can dear." Regina threw back. He leaned forward and brushed her lips against Emma's, a little hand coming inbetween them and making both women laugh. They pulled away and looked to Rose who gave them a cheeky grin. "Little monkey." Regina cooed and tickled the little girls tummy. Rose giggled and wriggled a little in Regina's arms.
"Mommy you no kiss mama. You kiss me." Rose said with all the seriousness that a two year old can have.
"Yes I do kiss you sweetheart but I kiss mama too." Regina replied. Rose got quite jealous if anyone hugged or kissed Regina and vice versa with Regina to anyone else. She did not like sharing her mommy. Henry was a big one for baring the brunt of Roses temper if he got attention from Regina. Regina and Emma were trying to explain to Rose that she needed to share Regina and she couldn't keep her mommy all to herself.
"But I no like it. Only me mommy." Rose frowned a little. Emma bit her lip trying not to laugh at Rose. That frown reminded her so much of Regina.
"Rose we have talked about this. You have to share mommy." Regina said trying to keep strict but Rose had turned on the puppy dog eyes and a pouted lip. Thanks to Henry for showing his little sister that face. "Mommy loves you to the moon and back but mommy loves mama and Henry too."
Rose's frown deepened. "But me more?" Rose asked.
Emma chuckled and she ruffled Rose's hair and kissed her cheek. "You are some cookie little miss."
"I not a cookie mama. Silly mama." Rose said making Regina and Emma laugh again.
"Moms!" Henry slid over to them. "Grandma wants a family photo."
"Of course she does." Regina said rolling her eyes a little.
Emma nudged her but smiled when Regina looked at her. "You know my mom. Any chance she has to get a family photo she will take it."
"Don't I know it." Regina sassed.
They walked over to where Snow and David were and sat down on the chairs that Snow had set out. Regina sat in the middle with Rose on her knee. Emma sat down on her left with Henry beside her. Snow sat on Regina's right with Neal on her knee and then David sat down on her other side. Snow looked up and down the family line and smiled. "Perfect. I need an updated family picture."
"You always need an updated family picture." Regina mumbled.
Snow nudged Regina making her gasp, looking round and glaring at the woman. "Smile Regina." Snow said before turning back to the camera and grinning. Regina rolled her eyes again and turned round to look back at the camera. She held Rose tightly to her and a smile graced her lips as she felt Emma's hand slip into hers and squeeze. She supposed she could go through another family picture. Granny clicked the camera, the flash going off and blinding them all. Snow jumped up and quickly walked over looking at the picture. "It's perfect. Thank you granny." Snow said. She walked back over and held the camera out to Regina. "If you like it you could have a copy."
Regina took the camera and looked at the photo, smiling as she looked down at it. Henry's goofy smile that matched Emma's perfectly. Rose looking as cheeky as ever as she grinned, showing the couple of gaps in her teeth that she had recently lost to the tooth fairy. Snow and Charming looking as perfect as ever and Neal matching Rose with cheekiness. Then there was her. When she looked at herself she couldn't help but notice just how happy she really looked. Surrounded by her family and yes that did include Snow and David too. She and Emma had made it through the other side of life, the dark side of life to make it to the light and they were stronger than ever. They were happier than ever. A true happy ending.
