Part of a speech taken from The Good Witch S4 (sorry if that's any spoilers for any of you). And kind of taken from a tumblr post prompt on a SQ ffn fb group. (No copyright for any of it or whatever). Shorter and fluffier and had to post.
June 6th 2017
The next day passed quickly, and Emma left early to get dinner started. She and Regina had called Snow and David the night before and invited them round for dinner, both women surprised at the speed at which the couple had accepted. Work had been quiet and so it was easy for her to go to the grocery store on her lunch break and then leave early when Mulan arrived, stopping at the mayor's office first to deliver the flowers she'd picked up just because.
When Regina had arrived home she had been shooed out of the kitchen, Emma handing her a glass of wine and kissing her cheek and when the Charming's had arrived she sent Henry in to where his mother was to entertain the couple.
Half an hour later she'd called the family in, Regina at the head of the table, Snow and herself on either side, with their husband and son next to the respective women and they had tucked in to Thai chicken with an apple and mango salad with jasmine rice, a new recipe she'd seen and wanted to try. She had made dessert as well but was keeping it a secret until the end of the meal, wanting to surprise both her mother and her fiancée.
The family talked generally during the meal, the adults drinking wine, with Emma and Henry drinking juice and Regina helped clear the plates as Emma grabbed the dessert. Hidden in the kitchen for a moment, the taller woman took the shorter woman in her arms.
"Last chance to back out Gina… once she's got her hands on this wedding, there's no going back… She'll be a complete… wedding-zilla…" Emma frowned at herself as Regina chuckled, both trying to think of the right word.
"The one thing I want most in the world is to marry you Miss Swan. If your mother can plan a wedding that we would both love, if it would make her happy, then I'm more than happy to allow her to run riot and go crazy." Emma tried to hold back a laugh and failed, tilting her head down for a kiss before she made her way to the fridge to get the desert. She poured the heated sauce from the pan into a jar and carried the chocolate baked Alaska through to the dining room, setting it in front of Regina and Snow. She grinned as she saw them both react the same way at seeing their favourite dessert.
When everyone had been served and drinks had been refilled, Emma reached out for Regina's hand, and they both turned to look at Snow, addressing her at the same time.
"Mom?"
"Snow?"
The younger brunette looked between the two, not sure whether to be worried or not. The smile on their faces said not.
"Mom, we were wondering…"
"…Well, it's really if you wanted to…" The pair talked in turns, looking at each other with a smile.
"…You don't have to, but we were thinking…"
"… That maybe you'd like to help us plan our wedding." They could see Mary Margaret's smile grow as they talked, and Emma squeezed Regina's hand.
"… Or if not help us… plan the whole thing."
Emma looked at Henry and to David, seeing them grinning at the interaction and Regina was looking at Snow who seemed to be ready to burst.
"Oh wow, I would LOVE to help. I already have so many ideas. I was kind of hoping you'd ask. I have a binder at home just in case you wanted some assistance… I was thinking it could be…" David and Henry laughed at the look of almost instant regret on Regina's face as Emma squeezed her hand again, coughing loudly to interrupt the woman's' rambling.
"That's great mom, maybe we can discuss it more at the weekend. You can have…" She paused to look at Regina who nodded. "Free rein over almost everything, but we choose the date and we choose what we wear."
Regina nodded, looking suddenly serious. "Crap, I have to find a dress… White is not my colour." She rolled her eyes at Henry's giggle and pouted at Emma who raised their joint hands and kissed it, winking at the older woman.
"You can wear jeans and a t-shirt and still be the most beautiful bride ever." This time the brunette rolled her eyes at her fiancée.
"I am not going to wear jeans and a t-shirt." She raised her brow at Emma's childish grin.
"Can I wear jeans and a t-shirt?" At the comment, both Regina and Snow looked horrified.
"No." Regina looked serious, her face not breaking into a smile until Emma laughed loudly and leaned across the table to kiss her.
"I'm glad I asked then, before I showed up on the day…" The table all laughed at that and went back to eating their desserts. Regina surveyed the table in turn, a warm feeling in her chest that her fiancée's parents accepted her so much that they would be willing to be so involved in the wedding. She couldn't wait for the day she could officially count them all as her proper family.
You guys have to let me know if this is too much fluff. There is plenty of angst to come but I want to keep it fluffy while I can.
