OK SO MY AMAZING FRIEND JESSIE (swanqueenfangirl5) GAVE ME SOME AWESOME IDEAS FOR THIS CHAPTER, SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY GIRL :)
The following morning a rather tired Emma and Regina turned up at the Nolan's front door.
Henry cannonballed straight into Regina, managing to get his small arms around both Emma and Regina at once, pulling the two women closer.
Emma grinned, smiling up at Mary Margaret and David who were smiling just as wide.
"So… Me and David found a perfect shopping centre just 20 miles out of Storybrooke, we thought we could all travel together." Mary Margaret.
"But, we don't want to see one another's dresses, do we?" Emma looked at Regina, who shook her head, she had just assumed they were sticking to tradition.
"That's ok, I phoned up the shop and they have it set up so the bride and groom can shot at the same time, in this case bride and bride, without seeing each other." Mary Margaret clapped her hands together, Emma grimacing slightly at Mary Margaret's enthusiasm. "This way me and David will be able to see both of yours dresses and you can see us!"
"Ok, let's roll out shall we?" Regina suggested not sure how much more overexcited Snow she could take.
They piled into Mary Margaret and David's car, the Husband and Wife in the front, Regina, Emma and Henry in the back.
Emma had persuaded Regina to go in the middle, the blonde falling almost immediately asleep on her brunette fiancé.
Regina couldn't resist dropping a kiss on the crown of Emma's head and holding her close, just listening to Henry whining about not being allowed a green suit.
When they arrived Regina patted Emma's side gently until she awoke, Emma felt grumpy and groaned as Regina sat her upright.
"Good morning, dear." Regina kissed her cheek, brushing Emma's hair from her cheek.
"I wanna sleep more." Emma pouted, laughing when Regina rolled her eyes.
"You should've thought about that last night, now come on, Henry is going to start running laps around the car if we don't get out soon." Regina joked, seeing Henry bounding up and down at David's legs as he got the car park ticket.
Emma finally pulled herself from the car, linking her hand firmly with Regina's.
"I wish you could shop with me." Emma looked over at Regina, who kissed her pouting lips.
"I know, dear, at least you get David, rather than…" Regina gestured to Mary Margaret who was pulling David along excitedly, practically skipping into the shop.
"We get them both now, remember." Emma joked, Regina kissing Emma's cheek again.
"Emma, you could wear a bin bag and you'd be beautiful, ok?" Regina paused just before entering the shop.
"Not true." Emma blushed, feeling Regina wrap her arms around her.
"Very true, now let's get this over with." Regina gave Emma's nose one last kiss before Mary Margaret rushed out and dragged them in to the shop.
"Good afternoon, ladies." A tall, thin woman walked up to them, holding out hand, Regina and Emma shaking it, Emma nervously fumbling with the wrong hand. "My name is Lauren, what can we do for you today?" She asked.
"Me and my fiancée here both need dresses, and the other three need suitable outfits too." Regina answered for the both of them, Emma smiling gratefully at her.
"Right then, I suggest we get the two of you sorted first, then we can deal with everyone else together." Lauren suggested, the couple nodding.
It had taken just under an hour to get Regina sorted, Emma hadn't been so easy.
Emma had tried on 8 dresses until she cracked, she was so tired and the tears started to fall.
Regina paced very impatiently, listening to David trying to talk Emma down in the changing room.
"Put the dresses away." Regina finally called through the door, knocking loudly so they could hear her.
Regina waiting for a reply as she kept half and eye on Mary Margaret and Henry who was gradually pulling the other woman closer and closer towards a green suit.
"Ok." David finally came out of the stall, Emma sat on the bench, in just her underwear, sobbing quietly.
"Alright, what is going on in here?" Regina shut the door softly, closing David out of their conversation.
"I don't… I don't know…" Emma sat up, making space for Regina to sit next to her, glad when the older woman took her into her arms.
"Did you like any of the dresses?" Regina asked, rubbing Emma's side lightly.
"Yeah, but Mary Margaret preferred another one and David liked a different one…" Emma cried onto Regina, the mix of opinions causing her to have conflicted feelings over everything.
"Emma, I love whichever one was your favourite." Regina kissed Emma's crown, pulling the blonde closer.
"Really? It's not like a traditional dress." Emma whimpered, wishing she could control her emotions better.
"Emma, I love you, I'm going to love the dress, ok?" Regina promised her, standing with Emma still in her embrace. "Now, we need to act quick because
Henry is using his usual charm to try and persuade Mary Margaret towards the green suits." Regina joked.
"That kid and his green suits." Emma laughed, kissing Regina's lips, a small thank you to the brunette for always making her feel better.
"Indeed, now get yourself dressed and we can sort the other three out." Regina smiled, leaving Emma alone to sort herself out.
Emma soon appeared from the changing room, carrying the dress she wanted in the bag over her arm and handing it to Lauren who smiled at her.
Regina was waiting for her, taking the blondes hand just as Henry came speeding around the corner, dressed in a very dark green suit.
"Henry Mills." Regina narrowed her eyes at the little boy who danced happily in the suit. Regina looked over at Emma who was smiling, looking at him like he was the cutest thing she had ever seen. "Emma Swan, don't you dare…"
"He looks so cute though!" Emma let a few tears roll down her cheeks. Regina burst into laughter, not having the heart to tell Henry to take it off.
Henry wore his suit whilst Emma and Regina helped Snow pick out a jade green dress, which matched with Henry and David's green suits, Henry arguing her would look funny if he was the only one in green.
Mary Margaret suggested going out for dinner, but Emma was already half asleep on Regina's lap, when they had finished shopping, the engaged couple sprawled on the shops big sofa waiting for David to get back changed.
"Maybe tomorrow night, Emma's tired." Regina smiled down at Emma, who stirred in her arms, looking groggily up at Regina. "I've set a timer from now on, so no more missed tablets ok? And a good nights sleep." Regina teased, Emma pouting lightly, but grinning anyway.
"I love you." Emma pulled Regina close, inhaling the brunettes scent.
"I love you too!" Regina revelled in the blondes tight embrace.
