Chapter 29

After their lunch, Mary Margaret and David left to go home and change for the party while the women sorted out their house tidying away presents, having put Chloe down for a nap before the next lot of celebrations start. Due to the teamwork of tidying, Emma and Regina managed to find some time to sit on the couch together and breathe for a minute.

Regina pulls Emma to her, wrapping both her arms round her, kissing the side of her face. "This last year..actually no two years have been perfect"

Emma rests her head down against the brunette's shoulder but looks up at her, taking her hand to play with. "I couldn't agree more..I feel like..I've been found and I'm no longer lost..wondering if I'll ever be happy or settled because you found me and loved me like no one else could. You...are my world"

Regina feels a lump forming in her throat and quickly kisses her before she becomes too emotional through Emma's words. Emma lets go of her hand taking her wife's face kissing back.

Opening the door to the diner, Emma lets go of Chloe's hand allowing her to run inside. Just like their house, the inside of the diner is decorated for the girl who is currently wearing a red baby doll dress, black pumps and her dark hair in a side braid. The first person to grab her is Ruby who sits her on top of the counter giving her a hug and trying not to get hit in the face with the doll.

While everyone talks and enjoys each other's companies, Emma was trying to hide the fact that she had noticed her wife and mother in deep conversation for what seemed a long period of time.

"Weird to see don't you think?"

Emma glances up seeing David appear placing a hand on her shoulder. "I still question the whole situation at times. If you had said to me five years ago that I would find my son, find my parents who are in fact Snow White and Prince Charming, fall in love, marry the former queen and have another baby in a town containing fairytale characters? I would of directed you to an institute"

David laughs nodding. "When you put it like that..."

Emma smiles and gestures to Regina and Snow. "Yeah that's just an added...weirdness but hey they are getting along that is all I can ask for"

"Very true, do you want a drink?"

Emma nods. "Sure thanks" hearing the door go, the blonde turns her attention to her son walking in with his friend. Eyes widening, she walks over to the booth where Regina and Snow are at. "Hey I don't want to ruin this happy reunion or whatever it is you guys have going on but..Regina, Henry's 'friend' is a girl"

Regina raises an eyebrow as Mary Margaret frowns new to the whole situation and both women glance to the door. Covering her mouth, Regina looks to Emma. "Since when? How did we not know about this?"

Emma shrugs watching Henry look a little shy at the girl then takes her hand. "Oh...my..god"

Regina bites her lip also watching in awe. "Oh he's smitten!"

Mary Margaret looks at Regina like what did you just say. Regina holds her hands out. "What? So I like...romantic gestures, you know children do tame you"

Emma sniggers. "Baby you could never be tamed"

Henry looks over bracing himself then walks over with the girl as Regina removes herself from the booth to stand with Emma.

"Hi...erm guys this is..Scarlett.. Who I said I was bringing" Henry can feel himself going red and tries to act normal.

Regina is the first to hold her hand out to the girl who accepts with a small smile. "Hello dear I'm Regina and this is Emma"

The girl also shakes Emma's hand kind of nervous making the women notice when the girl seems to clutch Henry's hand more. "Hi...nice to..meet you both"

Emma grins towards Henry who gives a silent gulp leading Scarlett away to find a seat. Regina watches them walk off. "I think our son has a girlfriend.."

Emma bites her lip. "Okay so who gives him the talk.."

Regina's eyes widen a little. "Okay one, he is too young for anything like that and two...you gave birth to him" smirking at the blonde, Regina walks over to the counter to see Chloe.

Emma takes a breath and sits herself down next to her mother. "I'm too young to be doing this yet..."

Mary Margaret scoffs. "Your too young? How do you think I feel? I'm thirty four and have two grandchildren"

Emma chuckles and looks over watching Regina with Chloe both laughing and giggling. "So what were you and my wife talking about just now?"

Mary Margaret bites her lip. "I..can't say just..wait and see"

Emma frowns looking back to her mother curiously. Before she says anything else, Mary Margaret sees David approaching. "Oh look here's your father"

Emma shakes her head at her mother trying to avoid what they are talking about. David hands them a drink then looks over to the counter. "Chloe seems to be enjoying herself"

Emma nods with a smile as her and Mary Margaret watches.

"She is looking more like Regina everyday but with your stubbornness"

Emma looks to her mom insulted. "Oh thanks but yes she is Regina's double which I am so glad for"

As it approached early evening, Emma and Regina knew they had to get Chloe home to bed after a long tiring day. Saying goodbye and thanks to everyone they head home, also aware of their son giving his 'friend' a kiss on the cheek when he had to say bye.

After settling their little girl to bed, they call Henry into the living room for a chat. Henry sighs sitting down. "Moms I know exactly what you are doing and I get it but I swear to you I am not going there yet I'm too young and I wouldn't ask anything like that from her..but I do really like her"

Not even having a chance to speak, Emma smiles at Regina who gives a little chuckle back. "It would appear our son has he's head well and truly screwed on, we have nothing to worry about dear"

Emma nods in agreement pulling Henry into a hug. "We are so proud kid, but on a serious note anything you wanna talk about, we are here and listening okay?"

Henry smiles. "Yeah thanks goodnight guys" kissing both their cheeks he heads off to bed.

Emma takes a deep breath glad today was finally over as much as she loved it and the look on Chloe's face it was very tiring. "Bed?"

Regina nods standing. "Bed"

Both women head upstairs and get changed climbing into bed. Emma looks over to Regina who pulls a box out from under the bed and slip her glasses on before also climbing in.

Emma pouts. "Baby why do you have to put the glasses on now? I'm too tired and your looking too hot!"

Regina rolls her eyes and passes the box to Emma who looks confused. Sitting back the brunette smiles. "I know its Chloe's birthday but I wanted you to have something special for giving me the best two gifts in the world"

Emma smiles a little then opens the box seeing a pink leather photo album with Chloe's full name on the front. Gulping already, Emma pushes the box to the side opening the book to the first page showing a newborn Chloe and her birth info. "Regina.."

Regina shifts herself so she is leaning against Emma with her head rested on her shoulder also looking at the book. " I know you didn't get to see Henry grow up from a baby and I know you have seen his baby album but it's not the same, I wanted you to have one for Chloe with photos from the past year so you remember"

Emma turns the page seeing a photo of her giving a tiny Chloe a bath, then a photo of her with Henry and Chloe. Looking at every photo, Emma gets teary then lets a tear go when she gets to the end, a photo of all four of them from this morning for Chloe's birthday.

Regina smiles and wipes the blonde's tear away. "Remember just before you had Chloe you were worried about what type of mom you would be for her? It's all right there"

Emma smiles wiping her face before kissing Regina's cheek. Closing the book again she frowns at Chloe's name inscription. Regina smiles at the blonde finally noticing. "About that...I sort of changed mine, Henry and Chloe's name..."

Emma looks at her again smiling more, putting the book to the side and taking Regina's glasses off of her, pulling her into a full kiss. "I love you so much"

Regina holds her face shifting closer. "I love you too Mrs Swan-Mills"

Emma briefly lets go as its getting a bit heated to put the book away properly to prevent any damage and runs her fingers over the words. She then puts it back in the box before rolling herself on top of Regina both feeling the tiredness disappear as they kiss again.

The book that was placed in the box had gold lettering that spelt:

'Chloe Swan-Mills'
