"I can't believe we've been living together for six months now," Regina said with a smile, sitting down beside her lover on the couch. "Seems like you moved in just yesterday."

"Really? To me, it feels like we've been together this way forever."

"Yeah? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Honestly?"

"Well... Yeah..." the brunette said slowly, her face suddenly showing signs of nervousness.

"It's a really, really good thing. I thought I was going to be scared. I mean, I am scared. I'll always be scared to lose you. But it feels so right with you. Coming home to you after class. Seeing you in the mornings before work. I just... I could never leave you now. You're home to me."

The doctor's smile returned as she leaned in and placed a kiss on her lover's cheek, saying, "I love you, Emma."

"Um... Regina..." Emma started, her voice cracking in the middle of her words.

"Yeah, babe?"

"I've... I've been thinking about some stuff."

"What's going on, baby? Are you okay?"

"Therapy has been going really well."

"Okay... That's great. I'm really proud of you, honey."

"No, I mean... I've changed."

"I know. I can tell. I see it in you every day. You're happier. At least... That's how it seems."

"I am. I'm much happier. But other things have changed too."

"Like what?"

"How I feel about things. Life. Us. What I want."

As the pit in Regina's stomach fell like an anvil, her facially expression dropped as well.

"Wait, Gina... No. It's not like that. I just meant..."

"No, I... It's..."

"I just told you how happy I am here. What are you nervous about?"

"It's just... The way you said that, I..."

"Regina Mills. I could never leave you. How I feel about you hasn't changed. How I feel about us as a couple has."

"I don't... I don't know what that means."

"It means... Regina... I want..."

When the woman just blinked back at her, Emma blushed and began to fumble through her pocket with a shaking, sweaty hand. As Regina stared at her in confusion, she finally reached what she was looking for and removed it from the pocket of her jeans. Awkwardly getting up off the couch and kneeling down on the floor in front of her lover, the blonde looked up to meet the woman's deep gaze.

"Em?"

Opening her hand to reveal a large diamond ring, the girl managed to stutter, "R-Regina... I want to marry you. Will you be my wife?"

"Oh, my God... Emma, I... Of course I will!"

Instantly, Regina fell into her lover's arms and crashed their lips together. When she finally pulled away and allowed Emma to slip the ring onto her finger, she began to cry.

"It's beautiful."

"As are you, my angel."

"Emma..."

"Yes, love?"

"What changed your mind?"

"A lot of things, but mostly being here with you. I can't imagine waking up without you anymore, and living with you just isn't enough. I want to make that commitment to you, forever and ever, and keep you always."

"Then you will have me always."


"I can't believe you're getting married!" Belle cried, embracing her closest friend.

Emma giggled back a quiet, "I can't believe you brought your girl!" at a volume that no one else could hear.

"Ruby's wonderful, Em. She's... I think she's the one."

"Belle! I'm so happy for you!"

When Emma went to lift her friend off the floor, the brunette quickly cried out, "Don't! You'll rip your dress!" and pulled away.

The two laughed and embraced once again.

"I love you so much, Belle."

"I love you too, Em. I'm so excited for your ceremony!"

"I'm nervous!"

"What? Why? It's gonna go great!"

"I'm gonna cry when I see her."

"I know," Belle laughed happily, resting her hand on her friend's shoulder. "But it's gonna be beautiful. And you look amazing."

"Thank you, Belle."

"Don't be scared, okay? It's gonna be perfect." When Emma went quiet, the young woman added, "Anything exciting planned for the honeymoon? Strap-ons? Nipple clamps? Whips?"

"BELLE!" the bride cried, shoving her friend backwards as her cheeks turned bright red. "Stop it!"

"I'm just playing. Seriously, though... Tonight is going to be the most perfect night of your life, and I am so, so happy for you."

"I'm scared. What if I bore her? What if it's not special at all and it's just like all the other sex we've had and I disappoint her?"

"Is all the other sex you've had exactly the same?"

"Well, no... But..."

"Babe, you are gonna feel so much love and fire tonight that it's gonna be explosive. I'm sure of it. And she loves you. She's not in it for the sex."

"But I want it to be good for her, you know? I want it to be perfect."

"It will be. You're gonna do great."

With a nod and a nervous smile, Emma embraced her friend again and squeezed her tightly.


"Oh, my God, Emma... Right there, honey."

"Gina," the blonde whimpered, pressing her body closer. "You feel so good."

The woman moaned her name as her walls contracted and released in a pulsing rhythm that shook her body hard and electrified every nerve. When her orgasm finally ended, she went limp in her lover's arms and sighed heavily, saying, "I've never come that hard before."

"Good," Emma whispered. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life making sure that you come harder every time I make love to you."

"I love you, my bride. I'll never stop loving you."

"And I'll never leave your side. In sickness and in health."

"Until death do us part."
