The Mayor's Emma Dilemma

Chapter 25

Disclaimers::: I do not own OUAT or it's characters, just my imagination. Whoo! That was fun to write the food cook off and the dance competition. Now our Mayor has finally gotten a chance to see what her wife can do on the dance floor! They are having quite a memorial honeymoon, both having come out as winners and bringing prizes home with them.

Dedicated to my love, Swanqueen7 xoxo

The two weeks had gone by fast with them enjoying everything they could even with Emma's pregnancy. During the two weeks honeymoon, her pregnancy slowed slightly due to them being out in the land of no magic. They shopped, dined, swam, explored, got plenty of sun and entertainment with their daily spa and hot tub experience. Thankfully, they had never seen that older couple again during their stay. They got to know Sophia and Antonio better. The past two days they'd stayed in bed wanting to spend more time together before they would go back home to Storybrooke and get ready for their babies' arrival. They'd also decided on their names. They also had kept in touch with their families back home and they'd begged them to tell them what they had been up to on their honeymoon. Both Emma and Regina told them they would have to wait until they got home before they would share their adventures with them.

The night before they left, they'd agreed to have dinner with Sophia and her husband. Sophia wanted to bring them gifts for their babies and had also included a framed photo of Emma winning the championship for the dance competition and had also included some photos of them standing together. Emma thanked them and they agreed to keep in touch. That night, they'd run into Bruno Tonioli and Julianne Hough as well as Maks and his wife Peta who'd also had seen Emma compete. She was so surprised to meet them and had her pictures taken with them. They'd complimented her and given her some advice and then Peta talked with Emma about her pregnancy and had congratulated them.

Regina got the chance to meet Gordon Ramsay who had complimented on her winning the cook off and she got her picture taken with him. He'd congratulated them on their marriage and also touched Emma's abdomen talking about his children.

By the time they left the Bahamas, both Emma and Regina were on cloud nine from the whole honeymoon experience. Everything still had yet to catch up with them.

"Oh my gosh!" Emma's eyes had widened. "Did that all really just happen?"

Regina nodded, her eyes also big as she recalled having met one of her favorite chefs. "Gordon Ramsay?! And you! You got to meet some of your favorite people! I never imagined this would happen! You were so amazing! I'm so glad you're mine." She grinned as she kissed her deeply.

"And it's all because of you, Regina. I love you so much for making sure we had such a great time!"

"You deserved it Emma and so did I." Regina grinned. "Now we have so much to tell our family." She laughed. "They'll never believe it."

After they landed and picked up their car, they drove the rest of the way home. As soon as they passed the orange line, Emma's belly swelled some more, having reminded them that two weeks had gone by and she was now exactly two months along with only one month remaining before the babies would join them.

Regina grinned happily as she caressed Emma's belly yet again. "Just wait until you see what I have waiting at home for you, Em-ma." She smirked.

Emma shook her head and chuckled as she texted their family, letting them know they would see them soon.

As soon as they arrived, Henry had run out to hug his parents. "I missed you so much! You look so good and happy! You HAVE got to tell us EVERYTHING!"

Emma laughed as they hugged their son. "And we will. Just help us get these inside. Your mom has been spoiling me rotten!" She grinned.

"Don't listen to her. They're not ALL for her." Regina laughed as she hugged Henry and they moved inside.

The moment they did, they realized the WHOLE family was there, waiting for them. Everyone rushed forward as soon as the luggage and other bags were put on the floor and they all took turns hugging the newlyweds.

"And you! You have so many boxes up in your room Emma. What is that all about?" Zelena asked.

"Huh?" Emma was confused. "What are you talking about?"

Regina rolled her eyes at her sister. "Surprise. After what you won, I wanted you to have everything, so I bought all those outfits for you." She smirked, knowing their family would not know what they were talking about.

Emma's eyes widened in surprise. "You WHAT? Seriously? But you didn't have to… You already gave me some of the…" She turned to see the way everyone was staring at her. "Um… Hi?" She grinned sheepishly as she turned and kissed Regina. "Thank you."

"You're welcome dear." Regina smiled victoriously.

"Outfits?" Zelena asked. "What kind of kink are you into now?"

Emma and Regina laughed. "Let's go sit in the family room, and we'll tell you all about it."

Emma grinned as she began telling them about the spa treatments, the hot tub, the pools, aquarium.

Regina spoke about the dining experiences they had and shopping, entertainment, beaches.

"And then Regina signed up for a contest at the cook off and she made her famous lasagna and apple turnovers."

"I won fair and square." Regina grinned. "Gordon Ramsay said so!" She beamed.

"You met Gordon Ramsay? No freaking way!" Lily was shocked.

Regina showed them the pictures to prove it. She had a smug smile on her face. "That's not the only excitement that happened." She smirked as she turned to look at Emma, pride in her eyes and in the way she smiled. "Did any of you know that our Emma can really really dance?"

"You mean like street dancing or the fancy ballroom dancing?" Henry asked.

Lily smiled. "Well, kinda. I know when we were kids, Emma had some awesome moves. But mostly like hip hop, street dancing that I am aware of."

Emma grinned sheepishly. "Actually…"

Regina replied. "She can do it all. I mean seriously! She's really amazing. There was this dance competition and she won. She kicked butt! She's…" Her face became flushed as she remembered what Emma did.

Emma chuckled knowingly, remembering how hot and bothered her Queen had gotten. How they'd made love over and over again until the sun came up.

Ingrid spoke up. "You mentioned something about going to the dance studio. You took lessons?" She asked.

Emma nodded. "I did. Every chance I got. It's something I really enjoyed. I took everything from Ballet, to tap, to hip hop, grunge. Ballroom dancing. You name it. I did it. Some of them were self taught when I wasn't able to go anymore. I started up again after I got out of prison and joined the police academy." She admitted.

"Can you teach us? I would love to learn some moves." Zelena grinned.

"I do believe we would like to do that too." Maleficent smiled. "So which dances did you do to win?"

Cora was intrigued by what age was learning about Emma. "Yes, please tell us."

Regina smirked. "She did three different dances. The first one she did was freestyle. She danced to Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal."

"NO WAY! The king of pop?!" Henry exclaimed. "You like Michael Jackson?" He had a hard time believing his blonde mother would do something like that.

"Oh yes she did. I will show you the pictures in a few minutes. The second one she did was hot. She did this kind of a Brazilian dance, kinda a cross between salsa and the lambada. She turned up the heat with that one. Then believe it or not, she did the Bellydance." Regina licked her lips at the memory. "Everyone absolutely loved her!"

"Aww it was nothing." Emma grinned. "Just something I enjoyed doing for your benefit, my Queen." She winked.

"It wasn't nothing to Bruno Tonioli, Julianne Hough, Maks or his wife Peta! They told you how much they enjoyed watching you." Regina smirked knowingly.

Lily and Henry were shocked to hear that Emma had met them as well. "You're so lucky you two have had a very good time. You both deserved it." Lily hugged her sister.

Emma and Regina proceeded to show them the photos and talked about how they met Sophia and Antonio. As they talked about their adventures, Emma and Regina gave everyone their presents. Emma and Regina had truly spoiled everyone with so many gifts and they were all touched by what they got them. They had also gotten some things for Ruby and Granny for the next time they saw them.

"And have you two gotten around to coming up with names for your babies?" Cora asked after they'd thanked them for their gifts.

"Actually we have. But you're going to have to wait until after they're born before we tell you." Regina smirked.

"Why don't you show us a dance or two, Ma?" Henry asked.

Emma looked at her wife. Regina shrugged. "He's your son." Her eyes twinkled as she chuckled knowingly. "Go upstairs and change. I'll get this room ready."

Emma then moved upstairs and was shocked to see how many boxes of clothes were there. She decided to use the other outfit she'd worn that she had packed up. She knew which dance she would show them. She was ready. She put on her fedora and stepped out. Regina smiled knowingly as she turned the music on as all eyes turned to look at Emma as Smooth Criminal began sounding out as Emma began dancing exactly the way she did at the competition.

Just as Regina knew would happen, every jaw dropped as they watched Emma perform to Michael Jackson's song. She did this for her son, knowing he'd been shocked when he'd been told about what Emma danced to. Henry's eyes were glued on his mother as he watched her dance.

"It's like magic!" Maleficent murmured in awe.

"You can say that again." Cora agreed.

"Wow… Your sister can really move. I had no idea dancing could be like that." Zelena replied as she and Lily watched Emma.

Lily nodded. "There are so many dance styles. I knew Emma could dance, but I had no idea just exactly what kind of dancing she could do."

Regina had a smug smile on her face as she saw how they reacted to this dance her wife did for them. She knew that she wanted to add a dance studio for her wife so she could pursue her passion when she had some free time. She would make it happen as soon as she could so they could learn from the best. She knew things would get a lot different around there soon and she was looking forward to it.

When Emma finished her dance, her family cheered, totally impressed with her moves.

"You've gotta teach me that!" Henry exclaimed. "Hey what about Thriller?"

Emma laughed softly at how excited her son was about learning some moves from her. "I do, but I also make my own interpretation of the songs I listen to. That's what makes it unique and different. Dance is like art to me." She explained.

"Maybe you'll show us some other moves soon after you've rested from your trip." Maleficent asked.

Emma smiled. "I would love to. And I would be more than happy to teach any of you who would like to learn. I know my wife wants me to teach her some moves."

Regina smiled and nodded. "Oh yes I would and then I would put them to good use on you." She winked suggestively at her wife.

Henry decided to go to bed since he needed to get up for school. Cora and Henry decided to go as well, hugging their daughters and Emma wishing them good night.

They stayed up talking about everything that happened since they left for their honeymoon. They caught them up on everything that happened in Storybrooke.

"The Charmings have gone into hiding. I think they've finally realized they went too far." Ingrid replied.

"I'm not sure about that. If I know Snow White, she never really learns from her mistakes. Not after all they'd done before." Maleficent replied.

Regina was inclined to agree with the older dragon. "No she hasn't learned. She's like a broken record. Like the night Emma came back after the first honeymoon she went through, Mary Margaret came here and upset her. I had to get her out of my home before she went too far. She just kept going on and on about true love." Regina scoffed at the memory. "I don't think she understands the concept of it."

Zelena agreed with Regina. "Like she's in some sort of fantasy world of her own. I know we've all done things to provoke her. But she's so easy to pick on. I do enjoy getting her worked up." She grinned wickedly.

Regina laughed. "I'm sure you do, sis. But then again… Not only does she seem to have a phobia about monsters… Dragons. She is afraid of Villains. I'm afraid me wanting to kill her and destroy her for a long time must have given her nightmares."

Maleficent smiled knowingly. "I know the feeling darling. Aurora is the same way with me." Her eyes had a wicked gleam to them.

Emma smiled at them and shook her head. "That's not the point. I don't care how many times Regina went after Snow White. She's always too quick to judge, she sees Dragons as monsters. Wolves… Monsters. Shapeshifters… Monsters. Anything abnormal… Monsters. She has this image in her mind of what perfection should be. This ideal of what is considered normal. Anything that is different is something that should be condemned. If you aren't family to her, you're nothing. She is the reason why my wife became known as the Evil Queen. I don't blame my wife for wanting to destroy her. So now she has the Evil Queen to deal with." Emma smirked knowingly.

"If she wants to insist we're monsters, then so be it. Time to turn the tables around and give her exactly what she wants. She has this delusion of what we all should be. Maybe we should give her a taste of what it means to be Evil. To be monsters, to be Villains. Let's give it to her."

"Before my sister and I were born, Snow White even though she was tricked by Blue, went and put my darkness inside of Lily. She already considered darkness an abnormality that needed to be rid of. She was afraid I would become a Villain, a monster, an evil person. She didn't care that Lily was innocent. A baby like me." She scoffed. "All she saw was that our mother was a dragon so that meant she was already a monster in her eyes." She shook her head before she continued.

"When she thought I was her daughter, she was afraid of me when my powers were out of control. She wanted to protect her son from someone like me." She rubbed her abdomen, knowing she would never harm her children or her family.

"When I was the dark one, she feared me and didn't trust me. Honestly, I could smell her fear. She never saw me for ME. Only as someone dark, evil, a monster. You saw what happened when she almost called me a monster." Emma had a dark look in her eyes. "She wants to continue with this charade, then so be it." She shrugged.

This was Zelena's first time hearing what happened with Emma and the whole situation that brought them to this moment. And to learn what happened to Lily, it shocked her. "Wow… That all really happened?"

Emma, Lily and Maleficent nodded.

Ingrid nodded. "That's true. I was there when Emma found out just how powerful she could be. She had no idea how to control her powers then."

"At that time, I was an idiot. Because of Blue putting Robin there to distract me. Elsa was the only one who noticed Emma needed help and was in trouble when her supposed family was supposed to be there for her. Instead, they cowered like cowards and ran from her."

Emma hugged her wife, knowing that Regina still felt bad about what happened back then. "Yes they were cowards. But then again, they were never my real parents to begin with."

Ingrid smiled. "I think a part of Elsa must have known you were really family. The way she was there for you when you needed someone to reach out to you and remind you that you weren't alone. She's yours and Lily's cousin. I'm going to need to let Elsa and Anna know I'm back. I know I did plan to… But I was distracted." She chuckled, sharing a look with Maleficent.

Lily smiled. "I can't wait to meet them." She was glad to know that Elsa was there for her sister when she needed a friend. Soon, everyone was ready to go to bed. Regina and Emma put their things away and got the boxes out of the way as soon as Regina magicked a new wardrobe specifically for Emma's dance outfits.

Emma had teased her wife. "You do realize if I'm going to teach you to dance, you will need some outfits of your own." She smirked.

"I'll just magic myself some when the time comes." Regina chuckled knowingly as they snuggled and fell asleep.
