After the interaction with Regina, it was fun since Emma chased herself away from her lover and they arrived at the blonde woman's childhood home. Neal and Everett were arguing about Henry's hanging out. The ladies' son was bored when he was sitting on the front porch's stairs in a big poof coat that his grandmother smothered him with a lot of gifts that Mary Margaret tried to catch up with the missed dates of his life.
Emma stifled her giggle when Everett slapped her brother, Neal's head while hearing his voice.
"You idiot! You've been hanging out with our nephew at the skateboard place. It is so dangerous!"
"Come on, Everett! We did that before when we were younger. Why not give him a new tradition when he come to hang out with us?" Neal sneered. Henry sighed loudly because he was annoying that he could hear their voices behind him. Regina raised her eyebrow at the brown-haired man who brought her son to the skateboard park.
Regina knew about the skateboard park that was not far away from the Nolans' home. It was like three blocks away. Because it was in the plain sight of the small hills. She heard Emma's voice.
"Why am I hearing about the skateboard park since I just got here? I did get some suggestion from the townspeople."
"It is three blocks away from here. I want to show him to the park so he could hang out with his age group. Is it fair to you, Em?" Neal pitched it up. Regina shook her head as she gunned him down.
"No. I won't let Henry get in injury."
"Gina, he learned how to skateboard when I was on the set of the film, Grind. I swore that I was with him when it came to the set that I had a break with him since he was like 8 years old. He knows what to do with himself once he was settling on his skateboard back in Los Angeles. We have a mini skateboard park in our backyard. No foul and no harm." Emma carefully stared at her fingernails while commenting on her life in Los Angeles.
Henry heard his blonde mother with a beamful face. Neal and Everett stared at their oldest sister with their shocked faces. Regina slowly tilted her head at her lover that she was surprised that she actually didn't know a lot of things about Emma and Henry but her bulging eyes at the mention of the skateboard film. She remembered that film very well since Zelena dragged her to the movie theater.
"Yeah, I have four skateboards at home. It's a custom made." The brown-haired boy nodded before looking at his mother.
"Can I go with Neal? I wanted to see the skateboard park."
"Sure, you can. I think that Neal have one in his room. Do you think if he minds to loan his?" Emma questioned toward his baby brother. Neal nodded with a smile but his thoughts were about Henry's skills on the skateboarding. Everett threw his hands in the air and mumbled under his breath before entering in the house.
"One second, I have two skateboards in my car." The brown-haired man proudly announced before walking to his practical car which their father gave him a birthday present. It was a Toyota Prius.
"Get ready and let's skate!"
"Wait a minute! Emma, I need you for a minute, please. Henry, you can wait inside."
It sent Henry to groan before coming in the house. Neal was behind him with the skateboards in his arms. Emma slowly glanced at the brunette mayor before thinning her lips. Regina turned around to face her and put her gloved hands on her hips.
"Really? You went ahead to have Henry skateboarding around in your film set. Without checking on him for injuries?"
"He was fine by then! I had some friends who were professionals and I forced them to make sure that he had no injuries. He is my son as well!" Emma nearly shouted while fisting in the air. Regina backed away and her eyes widened.
"Emma, I understand. I mean, I know that you raised him very well. But for me, I feel like I'm an absence parent that I didn't have a chance to see his whole life from baby to just 10 years old. Pardon me, I feel like I'm going to make sure that Henry is well with no injuries. But on my behalf, I fear that he would have a serious injury when it comes to the dangerous sports like skateboarding."
"No shit." Amy appeared on the front porch and heard a whole thing. Mary Margaret was yelling at her daughter for being a nosy one in the family from the foyer to the front door. Amy rolled her eyes when she heard her mother's voice and turned around to yell back.
"I just showed up like a minute ago. I haven't yet informed them if they are coming in for a discussion about the Christmas Party. Chill, mom!"
"You little shit. I swear by god. You come in and close the door. Leave Emma and Regina alone by their private conversation." Mary Margaret sneered in a quiet voice. Amy shrugged before walking inside the foyer. Mary Margaret looked at the ladies outside with a nervous smile.
"You go on. Just come in when you're ready! "It left the ladies out to blink their eyes at the scene on the porch.
"Gina, I know that you feel bad because you missed out by everything. BUT it's my fault though. I didn't tell you that you have a son with me. And also, to ask you if you could be with me up there in New York City long time ago for our son's birth and my work. The reason was that I fear that you would reject us and don't believe that Henry is your bloodline of a family." Emma gently spoke before looking at the house. Regina just gazed into the emerald eyes and felt soft.
"If it was different before then I would take it for granted. I mean, I love you so much since we were best friends in our whole life. If I reject you and Henry then I would be regretted in rest of my life and I promise you that I won't." The brunette woman reached Emma's hands to hold against her hands and gently explained with a sad smile.
"It would. But, look at us today and we are still getting to know each other better. Well, you asked me out for our first date. It's better than never. My heart fluttered when you asked me out and I practically screamed on Zelena's ears that night. It's my dream coming true." Regina smiled while shrugging. Emma slowly turned her frown into a beautiful grin and took a glance in the caramel eyes.
"How did we talk from skateboarding toward our conversation about our life?" Emma cockily asked. Regina laughed before shoving Emma into a snow bank and ran toward the front door to get inside. Emma gasped when she fell into the snow and looked up at Regina who was winking at her before going inside the house.
"Oh, Regina. You are on!" Emma screamed before getting up to catch her inside the house. Mary Margaret appeared in the hallway to catch the lovebirds running toward the kitchen.
"Lord, help me." Henry came in from the living room and heard his grandmother's voice with his giggles. David was not far behind him until he reached his wife in the hallway. Emma's laughter was full of joy inside the house and reached Mary Margaret's ears. It sent her to smile again.
"M&M, why are you smiling?"
"Listen. It's Emma in the kitchen, chasing after Regina and they seem like they have fun."
"Oh, yes. Did you call Cora?" The blond man didn't care if Emma laughed in a whole house and asked bluntly.
"I called her few seconds ago. She is coming here."
"Cool! Two grandmas coming here." Henry grinned before finding his mothers kissing on their lips in the kitchen. It sent him to scream and run out of the kitchen until he reached the bedroom. It scarred him already. It left Emma and Regina to blush before Mary Margaret sent her eyebrow raise to question anything about them but Emma shot it down with an informal saying, 'no'.
The pixie cut woman satisfied her questioning look before shooting the ladies away from the kitchen. David came to help her out with Christmas party plan. Emma clasped her hand into Regina's hand and guided them to her old bedroom. The ladies decided to stay there for few hours before Mary Margaret screamed when Cora tackled her into a crushing hug in the foyer.
It alerted Emma and Regina upstairs in Emma's old bedroom which they cuddled on the bed. Their son was in Neal's bedroom and tried to beat his uncle Neal on the video game. Everett was cheering for his nephew but Amy joined in to support her brother, Neal. It left Julie and Brad chatting in the den which Mary Margaret remodeled a new one in the backyard. David was still in living room to watch the re-run of a football game.
Emma showed up on the stairs and widened her eyes when Cora embraced her mother. Her jaw went opened as Regina was coming down to find her mother there in the foyer. David immediately appeared after hearing a scream from his wife. Mary Margaret barely waved her hand to get David's attention to get Cora off from her body. Regina just blinked out of the blue and spoke up.
"Why is my mother hugging your mother?"
"No idea either." The blonde actress replied before coming to help her mother get off from Cora. Regina followed her along as she faced her mother in her personal space. David was still there to watch the scene between the Mills women. Mary Margaret caressed her neck from the crushing hug with her hand while sighing. Emma was relieved that there were no bruises at this time and took a look at Regina who was talking to her mother.
"Mother, why are you tackling a hug at Emma's mom?"
"Because I just found out that you and Emma got back together. It's finally about damn time." Cora exclaimed before embracing David another one. The blond man screamed when the matriarch of Mills family tackled him. Mary Margaret and Emma tried to catch her but failed at their attempt. Regina shut her eyes when she palmed her face. It was a perfect time when Regina's father came in the foyer to find his wife tackling him.
"What's going on?" Henry Sr. demanded after staring at his wife who was just getting off from David. Mary Margaret went up to comfort her husband when they entered in the living room. Emma was glaring at Regina's mother and screamed.
"Why did you do this to my parents!? Poor them."
"Chill, you woman. I just got excited about the news that you two got back together." Cora replied before rolling her eyes. Regina narrowed her eyes at her mother and asked.
"Who told you that?"
"I did, mom." The brown-haired boy stood on the staircase and announced himself in the conversation. Others slowly turned their heads to him and Emma stared at her son like he was growing two heads at same time. Regina barely nodded before her father beat her to it.
"Why are you telling your grandma before your mothers?" Henry Sr. grasped his cane in front of him and raised his eyebrow at his grandson. Henry Jr. pointed out but shot down by his blonde mother.
"Yes, I agree with him. Why? Regina and I just discussed in our private time together before we decided to do what we need to do."
"Your mama is right. It is not right to do that before we go on. Is it clear?" Regina replied before nudging Emma to soften her voice. The golden-haired woman sighed before entering the living room to meet up with her parent. Cora was barely in conversation but got a glare from her husband. The matriarch of the Mills Family decided to follow Emma along with no words. It left Regina, Henry Jr. and Henry Sr. alone in the foyer.
The silence took a fall in the foyer. The brown-haired boy slumped his shoulders and nodded at his brunette mother's scolding. Henry Sr. held his head high as he walked into the living room. Regina came with him before kissing her son's forehead and sending him upstairs. It caused Regina to feel nervous because she wanted to announce herself that she was with Emma all the way for their relationship. But it affected her to think about her job and life in Storybrooke.
'Will it work out between us?' Emma and Regina were silently thinking on their behalf. The untold discussion went by the silence.
