Chapter 21 1 Year Later
Emma
Emma walked down the street thinking about that day, to her it felt like it was only yesterday but in reality it had been a year. So much had changed during that time and things were continuing to change.
As she walked down the street she saw Regina and Henry walking to Granny's, probably for lunch. Regina had lost her memory when she was pushed over the line and she was a part of the community now. She was also a part of Henry's life but she believed she was his Aunt not his mother, which made Emma happy. Henry had also become comfortable with calling Emma mom and that made Emma the happiest person on the planet. Before she met Henry she never thought she could be a mother but he brought out the best in her and she was so happy he found her and that he was in her life.
As she kept walking she also saw Mary Margaret and David. She hadn't started calling them mom and dad yet but they had talked and they had a very stable and comfortable relationship. She went shopping with Mary Margaret every Wednesday and David took her hunting on Sundays. They weren't a normal family but Emma was ok with that because she loved them anyway. She understood now that they had to send her through the portal by herself to save her and she was grateful that they did.
She kept walking and eventually she passed the fields where they were trying to grow magic beans. Everyone wanted to go back to the Enchanted Forest so David and Mary Margaret were trying to find ways to do that. They could have used Gold's help but since he got Belle back he had spent every minute with her. Emma couldn't blame him because he had spent so much time a part from her that he never wanted to leave her side now that he got her back. She wondered how that would feel thinking someone you loved was dead and then finding out they were alive. She hoped she would never find out. She pushed the thought out of her mind and headed home.
Graham
It had been a long day at work and Graham was exhausted. He had been working nonstop at the station and helping around town. He had also been helping Mary Margaret and David with project Enchanted Forest. He had to admit he did want to go back to the Enchanted Forest even though none of them knew what was waiting for them on the other side. But for now they would have to wait because the beans would take another six months to grow and they didn't have any other plans at the moment. Their biggest priority was keeping the magic in check and making sure tourists didn't stay to long and see something they shouldn't see.
He knew he was thinking too much and he needed to give his brain a rest so he laid down on the couch and almost drifted off when he remembered what he left on the counter. He grabbed it and slipped it back in his pocket making sure not to damage it. Every time he grabbed it he thought of that night when he almost lost her. When her body began to seize he almost jumped over the line even though he knew what would happen if he did, but before he could her body stopped seizing. She lay on the ground for a second and then she jolted upright he didn't know what to think but he knew she was ok and that's what was most important. She immediately grabbed Regina and came back over the line. For a second she just stared at him and it looked like she was completely out of breath, which scared him. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even hear the door open but when he heard the footsteps he immediately turned around and smiled.
Emma
"Hey babe."
"Hey Emma."
He jumped up off the couch and went right over to her and kissed her. She immediately melted into his arms and wrapped hers around his neck. They fell onto the couch and Emma laid right on top of him. Their lips didn't break a part for even a moment and their hands began exploring each other's bodies. Even though they had been together for a year he still turned her on every time she saw him and by the feel of it she turned him on to.
Every time they kissed passion and love radiated from them and she knew that would never go away. Graham had become a constant in her life and she didn't know what she would do if she lost him and she knew he felt the same way. When she saw the look in his eyes when he thought she lost her memory she knew that this man would love her no matter what and that he would always be there for her.
Their kissing intensified and they began moaning and grinding against each other. She began unbuckling his pants while he took her shirt off. He sat up and started kissing her neck and then the top of her breast and she threw her head back giving him better access. He lifted her up with one hand and took his pants off with the other. His strength always impressed Emma and it turned her on even more than she already was. She was getting so wet and Graham could tell that she wanted him. She ran her hands through his hair and tugged on it when he was sucking on her neck.
"Fuck me Graham."
That's all he needed to hear and he flipped her on her back and took her pants, underwear and bra off. He just stared at her because no matter how many times he saw her naked he was always was taken aback by how beautiful she was. Emma pulled him down on top of her and their lips met while he entered her. They were used to each other and they knew each other's rhythms so they began rocking back and forth right away.
He knew she liked it hard and fast so he began pumping in and out as fast as he could. They were both sweating in seconds. She wrapped her legs around him to give him better access and she was so close and he knew it. So he used his thumb to rub circles on her clit.
"Shit Graham I'm so close."
That sent him into overdrive and he pumped as fast and as hard as he could while rubbing her clit until he was almost over the edge. She arched her back and he fell on top of her as they came together. For a minute they just lay there both breathing heavy but both in heaven. He smoothed her hair back and looked into her eyes and he just thought about how much he loved this woman and how he still couldn't believe she loved him back.
"What's wrong Graham?"
"Nothing just thinking about how lucky I am and how much I love you."
"I love you too Graham."
She kissed him on the cheek before they both sat up and began to get dressed.
"Oh I forgot to tell you Mary Margaret, David, Henry and Regina are coming over for dinner."
"Alright what are we making this evening Ms. Swan?"
"I was thinking just some chicken and mashed potatoes with some veggies."
"Sounds good to me do you need any help."
"No I can start it you should go take a shower and then I will after you."
"Or we could shower together."
"Don't tempt me."
Graham
He pulled her in for a kiss before she headed into the kitchen. He was so happy she agreed to live with him even though he doubted she wanted to live with her parents. She even agreed to let Henry live here too. They were one happy family and even though Henry didn't call him dad Graham felt like his dad. He loved Henry and he would do anything for him. He was about to head upstairs when he remembered what was in his pocket. He pulled it out and just looked at it for a minute. He had gotten it right after that night when he thought Emma had lost her memory and he had kept it on his person ever since.
He headed into the kitchen without even thinking.
Emma
She heard his footsteps and she thought he was still trying to convince her to shower with him.
"You need to hurry up they are going to be here soon you can shower by yourself."
She turned around to make him go upstairs but when she did she saw him on one knee.
"Graham what are you doing?"
"I love you Emma. I have loved you from the moment I met you even if I didn't know it. You and Henry mean everything to me. You guys are my family and I would do anything to protect you guys. The day I thought I lost you was the worst day of my life. I can't imagine living one day without you. You are my everything, my other half. Will you do me the honor in becoming my wife?"
"Yes I will. I love you Graham."
He jumped up off the ground and pulled her into his arms. She was crying and laughing at the same time. She had wanted this for so long but she knew Graham had just been waiting to be sure she was ready. She had been ready for a while now and she was so glad that this moment had finally come.
Graham
He was so surprised that she didn't even hesitate when she answered but he was also elated. He knew that she loved him but he wasn't sure if she was ready for this big step but judging by her answer she was.
He never wanted to let her go now that she said yes. They began kissing each other so fervently that he thought they would never stop. But then the door bell rang.
"Oh my God, my parents and Henry."
"It's alright your parents already know and I asked Henry for permission as well."
"You did that's so sweet."
"What can I say I'm a sweet guy. So are you ready for this?"
"With you by my side I'm ready for anything."
With that he grabbed her hand and they headed for the door. She was right, together they could do anything and their love could conquer any obstacle. True love was their greatest weapon. And as they opened the door more love came pouring in and they knew this was their happy ending.
