Chapter 21
"This is it?" Henry asked, his mouth hanging slightly open as he looks at the small private beach.
"Yeah." Emma says her mouth also hanging agape.
They were at the seaside, at a beautiful small secluded beach. There were rows of chairs with white linens around them, an aisle down the middle that separated the chairs into two different sides.
There were people already sitting on both sides of the aisle as the family of four made their way towards the seating area.
"Hello"
"Hello." Regina answers with a smile.
"Bride or groom's side?" The woman in a purple dress asked the two women.
"Um, bride" Emma says as she looks at the invitation:
'We are getting married
Ben & Sandra
August 1st
Hawaii beach'
And on the back some more information about the location.
So here they were, 15 months later, at Ben and Sandra's wedding. They made the decision to make the trip for the wedding, a vacation. They are in Hawaii for 3 weeks, for a family vacation. Henry had been allowed to take his girlfriend Grace along, as they have been together for a year and a half now.
Regina was in a beautiful navy blue dress, ending just above her knees and showing a little cleavage but not too much.
Emma was wearing some designer shorts, in the same material as Regina's usual suit pants were made of since Emma didn't want to wear a dress, and she was wearing a matching blue blouse. Well, the same one Henry lent her from Regina's clothes and never gave back.
Henry was in neat clothes as well; he wore suit pants and a gray shirt. His girlfriend Grace was wearing a cute purple dress that ended above her knees and was strapless.
Regina had taken her shopping before they went on vacation since Grace didn't have anything for the wedding. Emma thought it was a good idea for Regina to go and bond with her probably soon, daughter in law. Henry, who was turning 19 this year, was already talking about marrying the girl.
"Just pick any seats on the left side." the woman says. The four people made their way to some chairs and sat down. Regina sat next to Emma, Henry next to Emma, and Grace next to Henry.
Emma slipped her hand into Regina's, turning to look into those beautiful brown eyes.
Regina leaned in and presented her own plump lips to the small pink ones of Emma. Smiling, Emma kissed the brunette back without hesitation.
Soon all seats were taken, and the music started playing. Ben was the first to walk out to stand at the altar.
A couple of brides maids accompanied by their groomsmen came next, guided by a man who went up to stand behind Ben.
Then Sandra and her father come walking down to the altar. She was wearing a beautiful white dress, more like a beach dress but you could definitely see it was a wedding dress.
"Benjamin Peter Riddle, do you take this woman to be your wife?" The clergyman asks Ben.
"I do." Ben smiles wide and Emma could see glistering tears rolling down Sandra's cheek in the sun.
"Sandra Gail Summers, do you take this man to be your husband?" The clergyman then asks Sandra.
"I do." she says with her voice cracking up a bit as she smiles wide, looking into Ben's eyes.
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife." the clergyman says looking at them both. "You may kiss your bride." he says to Ben.
Not taking their eyes of off each other eyes for one second, Ben stepped closer to Sandra and slipped his arms around her waist, lifting her up a bit and pressing their lips together. Sandra's arms then wrapped around Ben's neck.
Loud clapping and cheering went around the people and everyone stood up and smiled happily. Ben and Sandra took each other's hand and ran back down the aisle.
"That was beautiful." Emma says, as the four of them stood and watched Ben and Sandra drive off to the party location. Wrapping her arm around Regina's shoulder, Emma pressed a kiss to her temple.
"Yes, it was beautiful." Regina smiles as she wraps her arms around the blonde's waist.
"Wow this is great!" Henry says excited as they all walk into the big room where the reception is being held. There were a lot of round tables, with white decorations everywhere.
There were no seating arrangements so the four of them made thier way to a table a bit in the middle on the left side of the room. There were 3 seats left empty at the table.
"So, you guys got Ben and Sandra together?" Grace asks Emma and Regina.
"Yes they did." a woman's voice behind the two sitting women, says. Emma looks behind her and sees Tina, Rosa and a child in Rosa's arms.
"Are these taken?" Rosa asks
"No, sit down" Emma smiles as she points at the chairs.
Tina and Rosa sit down. The circle was now round. It was Emma, then Regina, Tina, Rosa with the child in her arms, an empty chair for the child, Grace and Henry, ending with Emma again.
"And who is this cutie?" Regina asks as she looks at the child.
"This is Mary Jane." Tina says as she slides her fingers slowly up and down the baby's cheeks.
"She's so cute." Grace says with a smile and takes Henry's hand in her own on top of the table.
"Aww ladies! San, come look at this" Ben says as he sits down at the empty seat next to Rosa and Grace.
"Oh my gosh, you guys" Sandra says looking in awe at the small child, sitting down on Ben's lap.
"Beautiful dress dear." Regina says looking at Sandra.
"Thank you" Sandra smiled.
Emma puts her arm around Regina's shoulder and kisses her temple.
"So we have to tell you guys something though." Emma says, as she looks down and she takes Regina's hand with her empty hand.
Sandra gasps, "You're pregnant?!"
"No! God haha." Emma says awkwardly. "Um, we sort of didn't tell the truth when we all met at the school reunion." Emma says as she looks at Regina for help. She didn't know how to tell them that they lied.
"Okay..." Ben says as he slips his arms around Sandra's waist, and lays his head on her shoulder.
"We were not together when we went to the school reunion." Regina says simply.
"But you said that you where." Tina says with a frown.
"Yes." Regina says. "It just sort of happened." the brunette smiled and looked at Emma.
"Look." Emma says. "I don't even remember what exactly happened. When we met, we hated each other. We got along for Henry's sake and slowly we became friends..." Emma took a breath cause she was talking so fast. "We're just so comfortable with each other i guess it just happened you know" Emma says, staring at the four people, who looked at her with their mouth ajar, with an awkward smile.
Regina just smiled and pressed a kiss to Emma's cheek. "But thanks to you all, when you came to Storybrooke unannounced, we had to pretend even more and Emma stayed over at my house for that time."
"And then ma never left mom's house when you all left." Henry says with a grin on his face.
Emma looked at the teenage with her mouth hanging open. She did leave Regina's house after that...to pick up more clothes.
Regina looked at her son with an eyebrow raised. She left that one weekend when Snow came to her house to take Emma back home. Thankfully she came back after that.
"Actually," Emma says. "We were already kind of together when we got back from the reunion." Emma says clearing her throat and squeezing Regina's hand. "But we didn't tell anyone back then." she smiled with a blush coming up to her face.
"You sneaky-"
"Ben!" Sandra interrupted before he could curse. "Well... I didn't even notice you guys where faking it, so I guess that there was already something going on between you two." Sandra smirked and she takes a
glass of champagne off the plate of glasses the waiter brought. "Thank you." she says sipping her drink.
"Yeah, guess so." Emma smiles.
"But you guys are together now? Right?!" Rosa smiled.
"Yes we are." Regina smiled, turning to look at Emma who had a slice of pink creeping up on her cheeks.
"Well that's great!" Rosa smiled and she hugs her baby a bit tighter.
"So we all did something for one and other" Tina smiles as she takes her Mary Jane's hand. Looking back to the other people, "Emma and Regina got Ben and Sandra together, and you two help us to the idea of adopting. And the four of us exactly got you two together" Tina smiles
"I think this is a good group of people" Ben smiles as he looks around the table.
"I think so too" rosa smiles
"Me too" Emma smiles as she looks around the table too.
She and Regina where almost wrapped up in each other's arms.
Tina and Rosa where smiling at each other as rosa had Mary Jane on her lap and Tina held the babies hand.
Sandra was sitting on Ben's lap who had his arms held tightly around, his now wife, waist. As they looked smiling at the small baby on rosa's lap.
Grace was also smiling looking at Mary Jane while holding Henry's hand, as they lay on top of the table.
Henry on the other hand was only looking at Grace, with a smile on his face.
"Sir, champagne?" The waiter asks as he held a tray with champagne on it in front of him.
"Oe yes please" Ben says with a smile. taking a glass of off the tray. "Babe?" He asks as he gives Sandra the glass, who had already emptied the other glass of champagne. And Ben took another glass of the try for himself.
"Thank you" Sandra says as she takes the full glass as she gives the empty glass back to the waiter.
"Miss?" The waiter asks Tina and Rosa.
"Thank you" they say as they take a glass.
The waiter moves to Regina and Emma. "You are not allowed to have alcohol young man" regina says as she looks at Henry.
"I know mom" he says while rolling his with a smirk, as emma takes a glass of off the tray.
"Miss?" The waiter asks Regina. "No thanks" she answers and he nods and walks away.
"Regina!" Ben says, "it's a celebration! You should take glass" he smiles.
"Yes!" Sandra says and waves the waiter back.
"No I can't" Regina tells with a smile and her face glows up. Looking at Emma with a smile and back to the four people.
Sandra smiles and emma sees the tears forming in her eyes, and rosa's eyes widen with an happy smile. Tina smirks and was about to say something...
"Aw come on why not?! Here just take a gla-" Ben says but Sandra put her elbow in his chest. "Auw what was that for?" Ben asks unknowingly.
"I'm pregnant" Regina smiles and emma kissed the brunette's cheek with an big smile.
"Oh my god!" Ben yells. "Im so happy for you! Congratulations!" He smiles and puts his glass in the air.
"Congratulations" Tina says and rosa nod smiles.
"May i ask how..?" Rosa asks.
"OOOHHHHHHKAYY" Henry says very loud, and stands up from the table. "May i have this dance my lady?" He smiles as he holds out his hand for Grace to take.
Smiling Grace takes Henry's hand, "i'd love to" she smiles.
As the young couple walks away to the dance floor, emma and Regina shared a glance. "Let's just say..." Regina says, "a bit of magic and a bit of true love was enough" Regina smiles.
Emma smiles and leans in, pressing her lips to Regina's. Taking her glass and puts it in the air. "To happy endings"
Everyone took their glass and puts them in the air as well, and all say at the same time.. "To happy endings" and there was a loud cling from the glasses put together by 5 people.
So I hope you like the ending.. I really do!
See you all later! Love's me X
