"Okay, as soon as you're done with the movie at your girlfriend's you promise you'll leave right away and come with us?" Mary Margaret asked on the phone.

"Yes, yes, I promise." Emma replied, rolling her eyes.

"Alright," she said. "Have fun, and good luck meeting her family! See you in a bit!"

"Bye!"

With that, Emma hung up with her mother. She took a deep breath, knowing that she had to make a good impression tonight.

Regina had told her that her sister and niece knew that she was her student, but her mother didn't. So they were going to say that Emma was 19, and graduated last year. She had also informed her that Robin and Zelena were in on this plan.

She had gotten ready a little bit earlier, and made sure to go hunting last night. It killed her that she was disappointing her girlfriend by not being able to show up for dinner, but she didn't think her smoothie trick would get her out of this one.

As she pulled her red leather jacket over her arms, she walked to her car in the garage. Taking a deep breath, she turned the engine on and headed for Regina's house.

Throughout the car ride, she felt herself getting more and more nervous. From what Regina had told her, her mother seemed like a piece of work. And Emma wasn't quite sure what would happen.

When she arrived, she made sure that she was holding a bouquet of flowers as she rang the doorbell. She knew it was cheesy, but she wanted to make that good impression with the family.

A redhead she assumed to be Zelena answered the door, and let her in.

"Hi," she said softly. "I'm Emma,"

"Come in, Emma," she said, forcing a smile.

Before she even walked two steps, Regina came from the kitchen and instantly walked up to her. She wrapped her good arm around her neck, then leaned in to quickly press their lips together.

"Glad you could make it," she said, smiling softly.

"Me too," Emma said. "These are for you,"

She handed her the flowers, then smiled widely.

Regina lead her to the living room where an older woman was sitting on the couch alongside Robin.

"Everyone," Regina announced. "I would like to formally introduce you to Emma, my girlfriend." She made eye contact with Emma, then looked at everyone else. "Emma, this is my mother, Cora. This is my sister, Zelena. And you've already met my niece, Robin."

"Hi, everyone," Emma said with a small wave.

She was instantly met with Cora's glare.

"So you're the one who broke my daughter's arm?" She asked, narrowing her eyes.

Emma opened her mouth to reply, but Regina cut in first.

"Mother!" She said, glaring. "If she hadn't broken my arm, I would've died,"

"Well she could have been more careful pulling you out," she retorted.

Emma wasn't quite sure what to say, so she just stood there. Regina rolled her eyes at her mother, then walked over to Emma.

She grabbed her girlfriend's hand, then pulled her over to the other couch.

"Before we start the movie, I'm going to have a word with Emma," Zelena stated, motioning for her to follow.

If she was anything like her mother, Emma was screwed. But it wasn't like she could say no. So she followed her to the guest room, where Zelena then closed the door.

"Alright, little missy, it's time I find out what the hell your intentions are with my sister," she said, getting straight to the point.

"What do you mean?" Emma asked. "I'm her girlfriend, I would like to continue to be her girlfriend,"

"Cut the bullshit. You're a teenager. You have a whole high school full of kids your age to date. Why go after my sister? Why go after your teacher?"

"I dunno, I just like her, I guess. And I may be a teenager, but I'm an adult too. And since Regina is 21, she was also a teenager too just three years ago,"

"She'll be 22 on Monday, so now she'll be four years older than you,"

"That's still not that big of an age difference! I know the circumstances aren't ideal, but I really like your sister. I like her more than anyone I've liked in a very long time. It's just unfortunate that I'm her student. But I won't let that get in the way of my feelings for her,"

"You do realize that you would get off easy if you two were caught, right? She would get fired, and possibly even go to jail. This is her first year teaching, and she has worked her ass off to get where she is! Her whole career would be over, and it would all be your fault!"

"Look, Zelena, we both know the risks of this relationship. We've made sure to be extremely careful, and no one has caught us! They won't investigate anything unless we give them a reason to. So we've made sure to always look professional when someone sees us at school. As long as we continue to be careful, we'll be fine,"

Zelena took in a deep breath, then gave her a quick glare.

"I trust her, but I don't trust you. If you ruin her career, I will make your life miserable. And that is a promise."

She had been alive for over a century, and it had been a long time since she was intimidated. But she could definitely say that Zelena Mills intimidated her.

So she nodded in response, then exited the room. The two of them walked back to the living room where the rest of Regina's family was waiting.

Zelena sat on the chair, while Emma went back to her girlfriend. She made sure to sit on her left so they could snuggle up together without having her shoulder cast in the way.

Robin had the remote, so she pressed a few buttons before Pitch Perfect 2 started playing. Emma smiled, then intertwined her fingers with Regina's. She returned her smile, then leaned over to grab a blanket.

Pulling it over the both of them, Regina then rested her head against Emma's shoulder as her eyes fell to the screen. She was filled with happiness as she saw her favorite movie play in front of her.

When they got to the party scene at the beginning, Regina felt her heart melt as she saw Beca and Chloe hug. She also smiled when she saw Chloe holding her yellow cup from when Beca sang the cup song at her audition in the first movie.

Cora found herself barking out laughter at John and Gail's moments. She especially seemed to like John for some reason.

Robin smiled through all of Emily's moments. She believed that she was a very underrated Bella, and deserved a lot more attention than what she got.

Emma and Regina stole a glance when Beca and Chloe had their moment in the tent. Meanwhile Robin was quietly chanting, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" At the characters while Cora glared at her. Regina let a chuckle escape from her mouth, then turned her attention back to the screen.

Zelena wasn't paying attention too much, she wasn't into these movies nearly as much as her sister was. But she did find humor in most of Fat Amy's parts. Especially the scene where she got caught in the bear trap, and when she sang the song with Bumper after paddling across the lake.

When the movie ended, everyone broke into a smile except Cora. She was looking at the screen with narrow eyes.

As Robin reached for the remote to turn the TV off, everyone had started to stand up. So she took this as her chance.

"Emma," she said, looking at the older blonde. "I'd like to talk to you as well, if that's okay,"

Emma nodded, then followed her to another room where she closed the door. She hoped that she wouldn't be as harsh as her mother had been.

"Alright," she started, looking her in the eyes. "I'm not sure what my mom said to you, but I'd like to get my piece in too."

"That's fair," Emma replied, motioning for her to continue.

"Alright, my aunt means the world to me. She's one of my best friends, and we've always been there for each other in our lives. I'm not sure how much she's told you about her ex's, but she's had her heart broken a few times. My mom and I were there for her, and we tried to do whatever we could to make her feel better." She took a deep breath, then continued on.

"My aunt has a great heart, and she's a great person. She doesn't deserve to be hurt. She really likes you, and she's putting herself out there. She's in a position where she could so easily be hurt. I know Regina really trusts you, and she likes you a lot. She's happy with you, so that makes me happy. But I don't want you to hurt her."

Emma felt a wave of guilt crash over her. Sure, she had no intentions of leaving her girlfriend now. But before, she had planned on just sleeping with her and then leaving. She probably would have broken her heart.

"I promise I won't break her heart," Emma told her, maintaining eye contact with the teen.

After the first night Emma had spent here, she made a promise to herself that she wouldn't just leave Regina after sleeping with her like she had every other girl. She didn't trust herself completely with that promise, but now she had promised Robin that she wouldn't break her heart.

Now that she had made the promise to two people, she had to keep it.

Robin smiled, then did something she didn't expect; she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Emma in a hug. Despite her shock, she reciprocated the hug and wrapped her arms around her too.

"Thank you," Robin whispered into her ear.

"No problem, Kid," Emma replied, grinning.

Robin pulled away, but returned her smile.

"Kid? I'm only two years younger than you, and I'm taller than you,"

"Yeah well those two years give me the right to call you that,"

Robin chuckled, then opened the door again. The two of them walked back to the living room to join everyone.

"Hey," Emma greeted her girlfriend, sitting next to her. "I should probably get going to meet my parents there,"

"Alright,"

They both stood up, then walked near the door.

"Showing up late and leaving early? Honestly, Regina! What has gotten into that head of yours?" Cora muttered, glaring at Emma.

They ignored her, then made their way out the front door. Emma leaned in and pressed their lips together. Knowing that her family was still inside, Regina made sure their kiss wasn't too intense.

When they pulled away, they both reflected one another's smiles.

"So I'll see you on Monday then?" Emma asked hopefully.

"No," Regina replied, shaking her head. "I'm spending the day with my father on Monday, so I won't be at school and I won't get back home until late. But I'll see you on Tuesday,"

"Oh," Emma said. "I hope you have a good time with him. I'll see you on Tuesday!"

Before she got into their car, she pressed their lips together once more.

"Happy birthday, Regina."
