Author's Note

So I'm starting to feel like this fic is coming to an end, although I do have an idea that I thought of last night for another fic, so keep an eye out for that!

Thank you all so much for the incredible support on this fic, I really do appreciate it!

P.S Any and all mistakes are my own :3

SWAN QUEEN

When Regina didn't return home a few hours later, Emma started to get worried.

"Emma?" she was brought from her thoughts when Henry was poking her leg to get her attention.

She kneeled to the boy's level and said, "Hey, what's up Henry?"

"Where's my momma?" he asked curiously.

"Uhh well she should still be at aunt Kat's kid, why don't I go down there and see if she's there?"

"Yes please! And can we go to Granny's for dinner?"

Emma chuckled and said, "Maybe kid, I'll ask your mom when I see her okay?"

Henry just nodded and ran off to play.

When Emma got to Kathryn's, she prayed to anyone who'll listen that Regina was still there and not hurt or in danger.

She knocked on the door and Kathryn answered, "Oh hi Emma, I didn't expect to see you tonight, what's up?"

"Is uh...is Regina still here?"

"Oh no she's not, I think she said something about getting groceries or something? Something about making a family dinner tonight I think."

"Oh okay...well I guess I'll see her at home then." Emma said, feeling stupid for worrying.

I should've just called her. Emma thought.

"Emma, are you okay?" Kathryn asked sweetly.

"Oh yeah, sorry Kat just...caught up in my thoughts for a sec there. I'll see you round."

"Bye Emma!"

Little did Emma know that Regina was not in fact shopping for dinner, she was shopping for something much more special.

Kathryn quickly went into the living room and called Regina, "So Emma has just been at my door asking for you."

"And? What did you tell her?" came Regina's nervous voice from the phone.

"I told her you were grocery shopping." Kat told her simply.

"Right...god I'm so nervous Kat..." Regina admitted.

Kathryn was stood in her living room smiling, "Have you found it?"

Regina sighed contently and said, "Yes. I've found the perfect one Kathryn."

Kat's squeal caused Regina to move her phone from her ear for a second, "Oh my god Regina! I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you Kathryn, that means a lot to me."

"Of course Regina! Listen, I have to go, I have a date with Ruby tonight. Call me tomorrow okay? Let me know what happened?"

"Of course, have a nice date Kat."

"Have a nice proposal Regina." Kat replied, smirking.

"Shut up." Regina said, shyly and blushing.

SWAN QUEEN

Emma needed some time to think, so she went for a walk around town.

While walking, she saw Lily and Dani.

Hand in hand.

Walking down Main Street.

She crossed to their side of the road and quickly walked to catch up to them.

"Evening ladies." Emma greeted.

"Oh hey Emma." Dani greeted.

"Emma." Lily greeted.

"What uh...what are you guys up to?"

"Oh we were just going for a walk on the beach while the sun sets. We've just been for dinner." Lily told her excitedly.

"So you guys are...a thing now?"

"Yeah, yeah we are. Lily's been really helping me with my drinking and anger problems. I haven't had any alcohol in weeks!" Dani answered, happily.

"Wow that's...that's really great. I'm happy for you both."

Just then, Regina's car went speeding past the women.

"Hey wasn't that Regina's car?" Dani asked.

"Yeah...yeah it was." Emma answered, "Listen I should probably go, congrats you guys. I wish you all the best."

"Thank you Emma." Both Lily and Dani replied.

Regina what the hell are you doing? Emma thought as she began to walk home.

SWAN QUEEN

Regina got home in record time and was greeted by her mother and father.

"Regina dear what's going on? You're all flustered." her mother questioned.

"I don't have time to go into detail but I need you to take Henry out of the house tonight." Regina said, starting to collect candles and placing and lighting them around the house.

"Well of course darling but why?" Henry Sr asked.

"I'm proposing to Emma tonight." Regina told her parents seriously.

Tears began to well up in Cora's eyes, "You are? Regina that's...that's great!" she exclaimed.

"Yes thank you mother but you really have to go now, I have to finish getting everything ready and I saw Emma on Main Street when I was driving home."

Cora looked to her husband who nodded, "Well...we could just so happen to be walking that way if you'd like. Bump into Emma and talk to her."

"Thank you mother." Regina said, embracing her parents.

"No problem dear." Cora replied.

"Good luck Regina." Henry Sr said and winked.

SWAN QUEEN

Emma was halfway to Regina's house when she saw Henry, Cora and Henry Sr.

"Emma!" little Henry screamed as he ran towards her.

"Hey kid!" the blonde woman greeted as she caught him in her arms. "Hey Mr and Mrs Mills, what are you guys doing out?"

"Well Henry wouldn't settle for his nap so we thought we'd take him for a walk." it wasn't really a lie, Henry really wouldn't settle for his nap, he was to desperate to see his mother.

"Oh I see. Why wouldn't you take your nap kid?"

"Wanted to see you and momma!" the chubby little boy shrugged as if it was nothing.

"Okay well I just saw momma's car heading home. Didn't you see her?"

"Yes he saw her but he still wouldn't settle and Regina was starting to get stressed so we took him out for her." Cora quickly told her before her grandson could say anything.

They talked for about 15-20 minutes before Emma insisted that she really should go check on Regina.

When she walked in the front door all she could smell were cinnamon and apples.

"Regina?!" she called but recieved no answer.

She checked the kitchen, living room, bedroom and study, hell even the bathroom but could not find Regina.

Then, when she had looked out the kitchen window, even though the curtains were closed, she saw a dim light coming from outside.

She slowly opened the back door and couldn't believe what she saw.

There were fairy lights strung up on the house and Regina's apple tree and around the pool. Well, anywhere they could be really.

And then Emma saw her.

Regina.

Standing under the apple tree in a beautiful black strapless dress that clung to her curves perfectly.

"Regina? What...what is all this?" Emma asked, stunned.

"Emma come here." Regina told her.

When Emma reached her, that is when she did it.

Regina bent down on one knee, ring box in hand, and said, "Surprise.."

"Regina..." Emma whispered.

"Emma. When I saw you outside my office the first day I met you I never thought I'd be here with you. I thought you'd be like everyone else in this town and see me as a cold hearted bitch who only cared about herself and her son. When you called me and asked me out I...I couldn't remember the last time I was that happy other than the day Henry was placed in my arms. We have been through so much together and I still can't believe you are still with me. You are amazing with Henry and he absolutely adores you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me." they shared a tear filled laugh before Regina continued, "I love you so so much Emma Swan. More than I thought possible. You brought more love and joy and happiness into my life and I am so grateful for that. I love you so much Emma. So..." the brunette opened the box to reveal a simple gold wedding band with a small opal gemstone. "Will you marry me?"

"Oh my god Regina yes! Of course I'll marry you!"

They laughed happily as Regina slid the ring onto Emma's finger with ease.

"I had them put your birthstone on it. Do you like it?" Regina asked her fiancee nervously.

Emma kissed her passionately and replied, "Regina I fucking love it."

They laughed again and Regina pulled Emma on top of her as they kissed even more passionately than before.

They spent the rest of the night showing each other how much they loved one another.

Tomorrow they were going to tell Henry and Regina's parents and...well everyone in town basically since Regina is mayor after all.

Emma had fallen asleep before Regina so the brunette was just laying beside her blonde fiancee basking in her beauty.

I couldn't ask for a better way to spend the rest of my life Regina thought as she drifted off to sleep.
