They returned home a month ago after three weeks in Camelot where Emma got rid of the darkness and just hours after her return she bought the house of her dreams. Killian stayed in his boat for two more weeks so his girlfriend could get comfortable in the house, furnish it and have some freedom.
Robin and Roland moved into Regina's mansion the week after their return from Camelot and the four of them settle into a comfortable and happy routine and Henry spent every weekend at Emma's new home, happy with their new relationship.
In the past month they have had two dates alone and a double date with their men and they have also have lunch and family dinners with just Henry and Regina stayed the night at Emma's house just two days ago.
Yes, Emma was finally happy…

*2 HOURS AFTER RETURNING TO SB*
Emma has been talking with everyone since they came back but after 2 hours of answering questions she was getting impatient so when Killian and Regina came to her rescue she was more than grateful. Hook kissed her on the lips and Regina squeezed her hand for a while until she calmed down.
-You should go and talk with Belle, love. Buy that house; I know you have the money ready so you can have some freedom.
-Yes, I think that's a great idea Emma, Henry would be so happy to have his own room and he can design it and paint it with you or all of us.
Emma smiled at the thought of Henry being happy about having his own room in her other mother's house so she kissed Regina's cheek and Hook's lips and went to his son that was talking to Violet.
-Hey kid, do you have a moment?
-Of course ma'- Henry waved goodbye at his friend and went out with his blonde mother that was suddenly nervous- what's wrong?
Emma looked at him, confused: What? Oh, no, everything is ok. Actually I wanted to ask you if you would come with me to your grandfather's shop so I can talk to Belle and convince her to sell to me that house we saw on the newspaper.
Henry's face lights with excitement at the mention of the big house.
-Yes ma', of course I would go with you and when you buy it I can finally start planning designs for my room, I have to choose the paint and the furniture. It's awesome.
-Yeah and your mom and I can help you choose the furniture and paint the room together –thinking about Henry's room and about the possible future an idea came to Emma's head –you know, you can choose one of those beds that have another one under it so you can invite friends to sleepovers and they can sleep in your room.
They walked together through Main Street until they reached Gold's shop. Once there they found Belle at the back of the shop sitting beside Rumple, taking care of him.
-Belle, can I talk with you for a minute?
-Of course Emma, tell me. Hi Henry
Henry says hi but goes to the back to sit with his grandfather and read to him.
-Belle, I want to buy a house that is in your husband possession so is also yours, can we sign a contract so you sell the house to me? I have the money in here and if when he woke up Rumple needs more I can give him the rest.
Belle agreed to sign the contract so they wrote one in half an hour, Emma gives her the bag with the money and Belle goes to her home to let the money and pick up the keys. Once she is back Emma hugs her.
-The house is fully furnished but in a vintage way so you would probably want to change it.
-Yeah, I would probably do it.
After a few more minutes henry and Emma let the shop and met Hook, Regina and Robin at Emma's new home. She gives them a tour of the house, all of them fascinated with the open space, small bathroom on the first floor, with the basement and with the big rooms in the last floor. Henry chose the biggest of the two guest rooms and started talking with his moms about all the possibilities.
Emma can't believe her luckiness: 3 years ago she was alone in her apartment wishing for a family, to never spent her birthday alone and now she is in her own house with her son, the loves of her live and one of her best friends; she also has her parents, a brother and a lot of friends in town that love her and would protect them with their lives. Yes, Emma Swan considers herself happy.
-Emma? Are you listening?
Emma looked at Regina and smiled, discussing the ideas for the master bedroom with her and Hook. After having dinner with them at Granny's she went with her parents to their apartment to spent the night for what Emma hoped would be the last time.
She woke up the next day at 7:30 a.m. because her phone was ringing, it was Regina.
-Regina? Is 7:30 in the morning of a Saturday, what do you want?
-I know dear, Henry had this brilliant idea last night so we came to your house and took all the furniture into the front yard with the help of my magic and our boys' strength. The dwarfs told us that it is safe to enter and leave town so now a move in company would come in an hour and buy your furniture.
Before Emma can say anything Henry is at the phone: Hook and Robin are picking the paint for our rooms and the first floor and this evening we can go with grandma and mom to pick some essential furniture.
-Thank you kid, I am really touched that you thought about all of this. I am almost in tears, can you believe that?
Henry laughed over the phone and they ended the call. Emma changed into fresh clothes and went to the kitchen where her parents were making breakfast.
-Good morning honey
-Hi mom –after kissing them both and grabbing a plate of pancakes and some coffee she decided to talk to them- I have something to tell you guys. You know when I told you about this house I wanted to buy?
They both nodded and Snow smiled: yeah, it was big and perfect for a family.
Emma chuckle thinking of the day she tells her parents about her polyamory relationship with a pirate and a former Evil Queen. Yep. It's going to be hilarious.
-The thing is that I bought it yesterday afternoon signing a contract with Belle and giving her money so Regina, Hook, Henry and Robin are buying the paint and we are going to paint the house now but Henry suggested that you come with us to pick furniture this afternoon.
Snow face light up with excitement, she was proud of Emma for finally starting a new live, accepting that she is an adult and that she has a family.
During breakfast Emma also realized that she was pretty comfortable with her parents and she realized that she has accepted that they would never leave her on purpose and that they would always love her.
-I have to go guys but before that I want to ask you a question- they both nodded- would you be comfortable if I not loved just Hook but also loved another person at the same time and with the same intensity?
David stayed frozen in place with his mouth wide open, MM was confused. Regina had told Emma that her parents were very open minded when they were rulers in the Enchanted Forest but that they have never came face to face with polyamory relationship.
-Just…think about it, I gotta go.
And Emma disappeared in a poof of white smoke. At seeing her teleport into the front yard of her house Regina smiled, she was proud of Emma's progression with magic.
-Well done Miss Swan- Emma used to be mad at Regina for calling her that but now it was a turn on even if Emma knows they would not get intimated for a while –Robin and Captain Eyeliner just arrived with the paint and the move in company would be here in half an hour, so come on, let's go work.
Emma rolled her eyes at the way her (?) girlfriend (?) called her current boyfriend but just smacked her arm and made a mental note to talk with Regina about what to call her but now she has work to do.
They protected the floor and started painting the living room and dining room in beige: Henry, Emma and Regina were painting the living room while Robin and Hook painted the dining room that was smaller than the living room. At 10:30 the move in company took and bought the furniture so Emma now have 1500$ more to buy new furniture. The process of painting was absolutely fun for the five of them: Henry's hand was stained in paint at some moment of the morning so he painted both of his mothers' faces and they started a painting war: Regina, Robin and Henry against Emma, Hook and Roland and that's why a process that was supposed to last one hour and a half lasted three hours.
-Oh, I'm hungry –Emma fell to the floor in a dramatic way and Henry and Roland copied her. The rest of the adults laughed –Seriously, I am hungry.
-I think I can manage some food in this beautiful kitchen of yours Emma –Emma, which was busy tickling Henry and Roland, stopped and smiled at Regina from her position at the floor- Roland, Henry, care to help me with lunch?
Both of the kids went with her so Emma stood up and hugged Hook: thank for helping today Killian.
Then she put her hand in Robin's: and thank you to you too Robin Hood
Robin hugged her and palmed Hook's back: we have to start protecting your bedroom floor and take the white and light yellow paint there.
Emma and Robin started putting the paperboard on the floor while Hook opened all the downstairs windows. By the time Emma went downstairs she couldn't stop the smile forming on her face when she saw Henry preparing the salad with the help of Hook, Regina taking care of the meat for the sandwiches and wiping Roland's wet face while Robin set the table in the backyard.
Her family.
-How can I help Gina?
Regina smiled at the nickname: you can cut the veggies and then distract Roland for a few minutes while I finish all of this?
Emma nodded, grabbed the veggies, kissed Regina's cheek and started with her task. She ignored Henry's confused face when he saw Emma kissing Regina. She made another mental note to decide with Regina when to tell Henry.
The now big family has a great and healthy lunch in the backyard table. After lunch Robin and Killian offered to wash the dishes, Henry decided to play some soccer with Roland in the backyard so that let Regina and Emma to paint Emma's bedroom.
They started doing it in silence but it was a comfortable silence, no need to fill it with banal chatter until Emma decided that this was a great opportunity to talk to Regina about their relationship. Emma grabbed Regina's free hand and rubbed her fingers against her palm and that caught the Queen's attention that focused just on Emma.
-What it is dear? –Emma looked at her and Regina saw a mix of shyness and fear –is something wrong?
-Oh god no…I was just wondering, are we girlfriends yet or we have to wait until I take you out on a date? And we have to plan on what and when to tell Henry.
Regina smiled and hugged Emma and once she was calm enough the brunette answered the blonde: I want to be your girlfriend, I want it so much but you know…you are supposed to be a knight and ask me out properly.
Emma smirked at the playful look on Regina's eyes and answered: well my lady, my queen, would you go out on a date with me tomorrow in a fancy restaurant with sexy dresses and delicious food?
Regina wrapped her arms around Emma's neck and kissed her, a soft and sweet kiss: yes, Ms. Swan, I would go out with you tomorrow.
Emma hugged her more tightly against her and kissed her this time asking for access into Regina's mouth. Moments later they were back to painting but this time Emma put some music on and was playfully bickering with the mayor. Hook and Robin went upstairs to find them on the floor holding their stomach while laughing hard and both of them smiled.
-Wow, ladies, what is so funny? –Hook asked and with the lack of response he looked at Robin and smirked –you got Regina, I got Emma.
They kneel down on the floor and started tickling their women that started laughing harder and squirming. "Stop, stop, please Killian" was what Emma was saying and when Hook backed a little she turned him over and straddle his lap, tickling him in return. Meanwhile Regina: "You are going to pay for this, Robin you are going to regret this" and when he laughed and was distracted Regina did the same as Emma and straddle him. After five minutes tickling them, they kissed them in gratitude for being these awesome and understanding men.
-Seriously moms? I thought I was the teenager in this family
They looked at the door where Henry was standing with his right hand over Roland's eyes. They smiled at him and stood up going to them. Emma kissed his cheek and picked Roland up on her shoulders while Regina kissed his forehead.
-Ok, this room is ready and the downstairs is also ready so…Henry, Regina and I would go with my mom to pick some furniture and you…just do whatever you want, you are free men
They laughed at her and Hook kissed her.
-Ma, can I sleep here tonight? Please?
Emma bitted her lip, she wanted to spent the night with Hook and let Henry stay the next day until her date with Regina but she can't resist Henry's puppy dog eyes.
-If we found the perfect bed for your room and they are able to give it to us today you can, if not you have to wait until your room is ready.
-And what are you going to do if your bed is not ready?
-Oh, going to the Jolly Rogers I suppose
Killian winked at her and her legs felt like jelly, she really wanted to be alone with him tonight. Regina noticed this so she talked Henry out of staying that night.
-Actually, after we buy the furniture your mom and I have to talk to you about something important and after that and all the excitement of today you would be K.O my little prince, it's better to stay in the mansion.
Henry nodded and they went for that furniture adventure with Mary Margaret. After three hours of discussions Henry purchased a full bedroom set: a mahogany nest bed with another bed under it, a mahogany big desk, blue chair, a bookstore and a dresser. His grandmother bought him blue, black and white bed sheets and Emma also purchased some superhero posters for him. Emma purchased a modern king sized bed with matching bedside table and white bed sheets and the good thing is that she was able to take that home even if the commode and dresser would take two weeks.
Emma decided that it was time to go and Mary Margaret pouted: but we don't have anything for your living room or dining room.
-Don't worry mom, I still have the old sofa and the kitchen table and I have my laptop if I want to watch a movie. We can wait until Monday, ok?
-Ok, have fun at your new home baby
-Oh I will mom –Snow made a disgusted face when she saw the smirk on Emma's face and that made Regina chuckle –I love you
Regina, Emma and Henry went to Regina's mansion and set down on the living room couch, Henry in front of them in one of the arm chairs.
-What it is why are you so nervous?
-Well Henry, you know your mother and I have been good friends since Nerverland now?
Emma smiled when Henry nodded, also smiling.
-Well, the thing is that I have felt something from your mother since the first moment I saw her, call it attraction, call it affection, call it hate, whatever, I have always felt something for Regina and when I saw her consumed in that vortex of dark magic I had to save her because in that moment –Emma took Regina's hands and they smiled at each other –in that moment I knew I love her kid.
-But…you are with Hook and you are with Robin
-Yes, and that's the other thing Henry, maybe you are too young to understand love yet but…have you ever heard of polyamory relationships? –Henry shook his head –it's basically means that you can love more than one person with the same intensity and passion. Feel free to read about it, to think about it and you can ask us questions tomorrow before our first date.
Henry, even if he was confused, smiled: ok, I would read about it but I am happy, my moms together that's just cool. I am happy for you moms.
He stood up and gets himself comfortable in the space between them in the sofa and hugged both of them. Emma wrapped her free arm over Regina's waist and the former did the same in Emma's shoulder. They were wrapped in a family hug.
-Ok, now I am going home but tomorrow morning, around 11, you can come home and we can play some video games, just you and me kid, what do you think about that?
-Cool, when would my room be ready?
-In three days everything should be ready –Emma leaned to kiss Regina's lips –Goodbye beautiful, I would pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow, be ready.
Emma sent a text to her pirate: dinner and dessert at my house?
He sent one back: I would be there in twenty minutes; can I have you for dessert?
Emma smirked at his text, poofed herself to her house and sent him a text back: only if you are a good lad and bring me dinner ;)
She let the phone aside and started using her new powerful magic to get all the furniture together and put it on her room. When she finished Hook entered the house and she went running downstairs.
He smiled at her with that seductive smile that makes her legs feel like jelly and that make her kiss him ferociously, her tongue wanting entrance to his mouth and he was willing to oblige.
-Aye love, you in a rush?
She smiled but grabbed the bag on his hook, it was Chinese and she really loved Chinese. She thanked him with another kiss, this time less passionate.
-Ok, let's eat and have dessert
This was normal; this was what Emma wanted all her life.
AN: next chapter would be rated M for sexual content between Hook and Emma and Robin and Regina and we would have Swan Queen date. Hope you liked this one.
