David, Nook and Tink had initially locked Facilier at the bottom of the clock tower where Maleficent had been trapped. Even if he wasn't wearing the cuff, magic was impossible down there. When he was charged the week later, he was banished to the farthest corner of the United Realms with the magic blocking cuff permanently attached on his wrist. No magic user could remove it and he couldn't do anything to himself to get it off. He was told if he ever came anywhere Regina again, he would be trapped in Sidney's mirror facing the wall forever. Everyone knew he didn't want that so knew he'd never be back.

Regina was quiet over the next few days and she kept herself busy planning Rumple's funeral. In preparation, Henry had managed to get in touch with Gideon and he was able to return to say goodbye to his father. He knew of the prophecy but didn't think it would be fulfilled. He was just sad that he was unable to say goodbye to his father in person, but he spent a fair bit of time with Henry, talking about him. He decided to take over running his father's shop so that he could feel closer to his parents.

The funeral took place a week after the coronation and Rumple's death. Regina hadn't spoken about what happened to her, not even to Emma, but the blonde didn't want to push her. She didn't want to bring it up in case it triggered anything for Regina, so she just waited for Regina to speak about it. It was the night before Rumple's funeral before she finally did.

The two had just finished their evening meal, a beef stroganoff that Regina had prepared, and Emma had fed Hope before putting her to bed. Emma had just come downstairs and saw her wife sitting on the sofa staring at the fire.

"I never wanted to go back to the castle," Regina murmured over her coffee mug rim. It was decaf coffee which she'd been drinking that week. It was still too early to take a pregnancy test, but she didn't want to risk it.

"Oh honey." Emma quickly crossed the room and wrapped her arm around her wife. Regina automatically leant in. "I know you didn't."

"But yet, I'm kinda glad he took me there," she revealed.

Emma pulled back a little to look at her wife. "I'm not following."

"I needed to go back, I think, to see how far I've come." She leant forward and placed her mug on the table before taking Emma's hand in hers. She held it between both her hands and rubbed her thumb softly across it. "The old me would have killed him in seconds for doing half of what he did to me but the thought of killing him never even crossed my mind. I felt so on edge being there, for obvious reasons, but also because it reminded me of being the Evil Queen again."

"You're not her anymore, my love," Emma said quietly. She unwrapped her arm and brought it up to caress her wife's cheek. "You are the Good Queen of the United Realms. You are the mother to Henry and Hope and the grandmother of Lucy. More importantly," she wrapped her arms around Regina's hands that were still holding her other hand, "you are Regina god-damn Swan-Mills and no one can change that. You're the most amazing woman and I'm so proud and amazed that you chose me as your wife. If there's anyone that should feel bad about what happened, it's me." Emma looked down as a tear escaped.

"What on earth makes you think that?" Regina gasped as she reached out to wipe away her tear.

"I failed you!" Emma cried, voicing what she'd been keeping in for the past week. "My job is to protect you from harm and keep you safe. I'm your wife and I failed my main job." Emma couldn't keep the tears at bay any longer as they poured down her face. "The worse thing is I shouldn't be the one to be so upset about it all; it didn't happen to me. You were taken by a crazy man and tied up and…" She trailed off realising what she was saying wasn't going to help. She let go of Regina's hands and curled up, bringing her knees up and wrapping her arms around them.

"Emma," Regina said softly as she pulled gently on her arm. The blonde was reluctant but eventually let her wife in. "This is not your fault. You weren't to know." Regina took hold of her hand again and brought to her lips. She kissed her knuckles softly before holding it to her chest. "Yes, it happened but who was there to save me? You were. You and our family. The entire time it was happening I was thinking about you, my wife, my love and my Queen. Without the thought of you, I would have crumpled." She reached up and cupped her cheek. Emma automatically leant into the touch. "I'm sorry I've not brought it up sooner and you've had to deal with this, but I needed a bit of time to recover. He didn't hurt me or violate me, you got there in time. I realise I haven't thanked you properly either so Em, thank you for saving me."

"I'll always save you," Emma promised before chuckling quietly. "Jeez, now I sound like my parents and their "I'll always find you" saying."

Finally, they both smiled.

"I can't believe I'm actually saying this," Regina began and took a deep breath, "but I'm happy to sound like your parents because it means we're in love and we have each other. I love you more than I've ever loved anyone and will ever love anyone. You're everything to me, Emma, and I cannot wait to raise Hope with you and, if I am pregnant, this baby with you. You're my wife and I wouldn't have it any other way."

She leant forward and kissed Emma with everything that she had. She poured her love into the kiss and felt Emma's love pour into her in return. Emma brought her free hand up and threaded her fingers through her wife's hair and pulled her closer.

When they broke apart, they rested their heads against each other's. "If we weren't already married, I'd ask you all over again," Emma whispered and Regina smiled.

"I'd say yes all over again," she replied before pulling her wife in for another kiss.

It wasn't the last conversation they would have about it, but it was a start.

Emma kissed her wife deeply before breaking apart and smirked. "Now, talking about being married, we still need to figure out our honeymoon!"

They spent the rest of the evening discussing the possibilities, but they never made a firm decision. Neither of them knew whether to go to a new Realm or to head in the opposite direction and go to a different country all together. Regina loved the idea of going to Hawaii, but Emma thought it was too cliché and overrated. Emma wanted to go to Wonderland, but it reminded Regina too much of her mother.

In the end, they went to bed without making a decision. They would finalise their ideas after the funeral that was taking place the next morning.

It began around noon and there was a light drizzle of rain. There wasn't a big turnout, which wasn't surprising. Regina and Emma were there along with Snow and Charming. Granny had offered to look after Neal, Hope and Lucy so they didn't have to go. The older two were offered but declined. Henry and Ella also attended. The latter didn't really know Rumple but wanted to support her husband. Zelena and Chad were there, with Chad going to support his wife. Then Alice, Robin and Nook were also in attendance. The final guest was naturally Gideon who stood beside Henry.

Throughout the small service, led by Mother Superior, Emma had her arm wrapped tightly around her wife who was quietly crying. Her relationship with Rumple had always been a rollercoaster but at the end of the day, she wouldn't be where she was without him. If she didn't cast the curse, she wouldn't have Henry, Hope, her wife and another baby on the way. If she didn't have magic, she wouldn't have been able to cast the curse in the first place and then if it wasn't for Rumple, she wouldn't have had magic, period. So, really, she owed her happiness to him.

The service wasn't long and they buried his body in the cemetery beside Neal's. Then the extended family made their way to Granny's Diner afterwards where they had a drink in his name. Regina offered to get everyone's drink so she was able to get herself a cranberry juice so it looked like she was drinking wine, a trick she had learnt from Ella.

Emma found herself sitting on a table with her parents and her wife with Hope on her lap next to a table where Gideon was sat with Ella, Henry and Ruby. The wolf was telling him stories about his mother which he was more than happy to hear. She smiled as she heard Ruby telling him about Belle's first experience with the food in Storybrooke that she hadn't heard her mother calling her name until she felt Regina squeeze her hand to get her attention.

"Em?" She said softly.

Emma looked up at her wife who nodded towards her parents. "Sorry, what's up?"

"We were asking when you two were finally going to go on your honeymoon," Snow said with a bright smile. "You've been married just short of two weeks now and it would be nice for the two of you to spend some quality time together just you. Don't even worry about Hope, she'll stay with us."

"Thanks, Snow," Regina said with a smile. "However, this one," she nudged her wife playfully, "can't decide where to go. I suggested Hawaii which she thought was typical and cliché. She suggested Wonderland and Arendelle, but I don't really want to go to either place for our honeymoon."

"We also don't know if we want to stay in the United Realms," Emma added, "because everyone knows who we are and would want to stop us to speak to the Queens."

"Why not go to Europe?" Charming suggested and the three women looked at him in shock. "What? I have ideas sometimes," he laughed, "I'm not completely brainless."

"Of course, you're not honey," Snow said and kissed his cheek before looking at her daughter and daughter in law. "You could go to Paris?" She suggested.

Regina turned to her wife. "What do you think?" She asked. "No one would know who we were and I've always wanted to go. We won't have our magic, but we also won't be recognised."

Emma pondered it for a few moments, before she smiled. "We can look into it when we go home."

oOoOo

A few hours later, the two were sat on the sofa with Emma's laptop on her lap and Regina cuddling Hope close. They'd spent the last hour researching flights, hotels and transfers before looking at the ideal amount of days spent in Paris. It depended what they wanted to do but it became clear that they would only really need to spend between four or five nights there which was a short amount of time to make the long flight worthwhile.

"We could go with what your dad said," Regina said slowly, "And make it a European tour instead? Take Hope for me for a second."

Regina passed the baby over to her wife, who whined quietly at leaving Regina's arms. Despite the brunette not being her biological mother, Hope had loved Regina from the moment she saw her. They were destined to be family. If Emma didn't love Regina so much herself, she'd probably be a little offended and jealous. Instead, she shifted so that Regina could pass her the baby and take the laptop from her.

She worked in silence for a few moments while Emma watched. It was about fifteen minutes later, Regina sat back.

"What about this?" She asked.

"What is this?" Emma responded sceptically.

Regina couldn't help but smile. "How about a European trip? Paris, Berlin and then Amsterdam before coming home again. We could even go to London if you wanted too? I mean, there's more to do in Paris than Amsterdam so we could spend four nights in Paris but one in Amsterdam. What do you say? It would make traveling all that way worthwhile."

Instead of replying at first, Emma just leant forward and kissed her wife. She ran her tongue teasingly across her lower lip making Regina smile before she accepted it, brushing hers lightly against it.

"Should I take that as a yes?" She asked breathlessly, unable to hide her smile.

"Definitely," Emma replied, smiling just as brightly. "I love the idea. I've never even left the United States, aside from, well the other Realms, but you know what I mean."

"I do indeed." Regina kissed her again. "Shall we book everything?"

Emma nodded, excited.

An hour later, it was all booked. They would be leaving in two weeks and would be gone for another two weeks. The first city up was Berlin. They would fly from Portland to Berlin with one stop in New York. They would arrive late and spend four nights there before flying from Berlin to Amsterdam. They would spend three nights in Amsterdam before flying to London where they would spend another three nights. Their final stop was Paris where they would spend the final three nights before a late-night flight back to Portland via New York once more.

The only issue Emma had was the idea of leaving Hope for two weeks. Even when she'd stayed at her parents or Henry's for two nights in a row, she'd seen her during the day. The thought of leaving her for so long didn't really sit well with her.

"We'll be able to video chat Snow while we're away and see her," Regina assured her while they lay in bed after a passionate round of love making, celebrating the fact they'd finally booked their honeymoon. Emma had brought up her worry when Regina panicked that something was wrong.

"What if she starts speaking or walking while we're away?" Emma asked. "I already missed all of that with Henry. I won't forgive myself if I miss it with Hope too."

"Oh honey, she's not quite seven months old, she's a while off either of those yet," Regina said as she reached out to caress her wife's face. "I'm more upset that we had to book the honeymoon as Emma Swan and Regina Mills and not as the Swan-Mills."

With everything between the coronation, Rumple's death and funeral, plus Regina's kidnapping, neither had found the time to get new passports and sort out their driver's license with their new names, so they'd had to book their honeymoon in their maiden names. However, Regina said that she would sort out their passports as soon as they were back.

Emma then rolled over so the was lying on top of her wife, looking down at her fondly. She tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and caressed her face.

"Despite what our passports say, we are the Swan-Mills," Emma said softly before kissing her wife. "Their Majesties, the Light and Good Queens, Emma and Regina Swan-Mills. Imagine if we'd put that on the booking."

Regina then flipped them over with strength that Emma never knew she had at the beginning of their relationship but was now very familiar with. The blonde looked up at her wife with her signature dopey smile that was reserved only for her.

"The whole point of our trip to Europe and not travelling through the Realms was so people didn't know us," Regina reminded her as she leant down and pecked her wife's lips. "Besides, I don't think people would believe you were a Queen with those tight jeans you wear." Regina's eyes glazed over and she licked her lips, imagining her wife's body in her jeans which she adored.

"Could you imagine what our lives would have been like if you'd just accepted you loved me the first time you met me?" Emma teased knowing where her wife's mind had gone. "Or the day you came to Granny's and I answered the door in my underwear. If you'd just taken me then we could have saved so much–"

Emma was cut off by her wife sealing her lips over hers. "Don't think of the past," Regina muttered against her lips. "Think of the present and future." She kissed her again as she slipped one hand down and nudged Emma's legs to open for her. "We wouldn't have Hope if we'd got together back then. Henry may not have met Ella and we wouldn't have Lucy. I wouldn't change a thing because I have you now." Her eyes darkened ever so slightly more as she licked her lips. "I have you right where I want you." She kissed her wife soundly as she slipped two fingers inside, withdrawing a breathy moan from her wife.
