Hey guys sorry for the long wait I had a death in the family and it hit me really hard. I'm posting the rest on the story today so I hope you all enjoy it! all mistakes are mind and I don't own anything but the idea of the story. Enjoy!
Two Years Later…
The Room is quiet. The morning is calm. The air is a glow with the morning sun peaking in from behind the curtains. The people within the room blissfully unaware of the world around them. Still in a land of slumber with their bodies wrapped up in each other.
The quiet calm was broke by the sound of a door opening down the hall followed by the pitter patter of little feet on the hard wood floor all the way to another door. Which was unlike the first one thrown open.
"Mama's! It's today, it's today!" Adeline screamed as she continued to run and jump on the bed, landing on the mound that is her mothers. This effectively woke them up as they both let out pain filled moans from their child jumping on them.
"Adeline what did I say about doing that!" Regina scolded as she moved over so her daughter could get in between her and Emma.
"Sorry Mommy it's today! And ade's excited." Ade said bouncing in her place.
"What's today bug?" Emma asked.
"Muuusic!"
"Oh yeah we are in that aren't we." Emma said looking at Regina who was rolling her eyes. "Oh don't give me that look you love to sing and you know it."
"I do like to sing just not in front of the whole town and not particularly the songs we have picked to sing." Regina replied.
"Yeah, but the first song you love and you know bug loves the second song."
"Which is the only reason I'm doing them."
"You are a fuc.."
"Emma language! Your daughter is right next to you!" Regina scolded.
"Sorry but you are an amazing singer and no one will expect it coming from you. They will all be floored. And you know just as much as I do how much you like wowing people."
Regina not wanting to admit that Emma was right decide to change her attention to her daughter. "Are you hungry baby girl?"
"We has waffles!?" Ade asked once again excited.
"What is it with you and waffles?" Regina asked.
"Ade no know mommy they good!" Ade exclaimed like it was most logical thing in the world.
"Yeah, they good!" Emma mimicked from the other side of Ade with a big goofy smile on her face.
Regina rolled her eyes as she rolled out of bed. "You guys are lucky I love you so much." On her way down the hall Regina stopped and knocked on Henrys door only getting a grunt for a reply. Without opening the door Regina said loudly enough so that she could be heard that she was making waffles and then said a little louder so everyone was sure to hear she said that the last person down stairs got to do the morning dishes. After she said the word dishes she heard three simultaneous thuds of feet/ bodies hitting the floor and scrambling to get dressed so that they didn't have to do dishes. Rolling her eyes at her family Regina headed down to the kitchen to make breakfast.
After breakfast Regina was upstairs helping get Ade and Henry ready for the show later that day while Emma did the dishes.
"Emma I don't know if I can do this."
"Regina you are going to be fine you did great in all the rehearsals just imagine that it's just you, me and the kids messing around."
"Yeah sure it would be that easy cause it's not like the whole town won't be watching" Regina thought as they were walking towards town hall where the talents for the charity show was taking place. "I hope you know I'm only doing this for Adeline."
"Come on Regina you don't mean that. You know as well as I do that we need the money to help rebuild those people's homes after all the damage that magical sink hole did. They can't live at Granny's or the convent forever."
"I know, I know, I just don't get why out of all the ideas; Snow had to go and pick this one." Regina said stopping in front of town hall.
"You know my mother and how she likes to sing, plus she loves this kind of thing so does it really surprise you?"
"No I guess not." Regina sighed then turned to walk into the building, "let's get this over with." Emma trying to be supportive gently put her hand on Regina's lower back and led her inside to find their kids and to get ready for the show.
888888
They find the kids in one of the conference rooms that's by the assembly hall. As they walk in they are meet with complete chaos. Everyone who is participating in the show are bustling around, some trying to get ready while others are trying to get in some last minute rehearsal time.
Seeing the kids towards the back of the room Emma and Regina made their way to them.
"Hey guys are you almost ready?" Emma asked the group of kids.
"Yeah ma we just need to get bug in her shoes and we are all good" Henry said.
"Yeah mama shoes!"
"Alright my little love bug lets go get your shoes on." Emma smiled as she picked her daughter up so she could go put her shoes on. As Emma walked away Henry was studying his other mother who was biting her thumb nail looking off into space.
"You know it's going to be alright, right mom?" Henry said startling Regina out of her daze.
"Oh Henry you look so handsome." Regina said smiling as she hugged her not so baby boy.
"Mom I'm in jeans and a t shirt. Your worried aren't you?"
"Of course I'm worried Henry how can I not be, I feel ridiculous wearing this outfit and then I have to go sing in front of the whole town in these dumb jeans and t-shirt." Regina folded her arms around herself as a way to protect herself in her discomfort. "You are going to do fine Gina stop worrying I have your back and so does Henry we both know all the words as do you. We got this just remember deep breaths." Emma says in her head while henry says basically the same things to her. As Henry finish's up his 'everything will be ok speech', Emma walks up with Adeline and puts her hand on the small of Regina's back causing her to take a deep breath and relax a little.
It did not last long because the next thing she knows one the many volunteers is telling the first three acts that curtain call is in five. And being that Regina is the mayor it would only make sense for her to open the show.
"Oh god, I can't do this Emma this was a stupid, stupid idea!" Regina screamed in her head while looking only slightly frazzled on the outside.
Emma put Adeline down and turned and hugged Regina. "Breath with me it will be fine. In and out in and out that's my girl."
"Your giving me flash backs of when we had Adeline." Regina pulled back and smiled at Emma. Emma smiled back in return and then leaned down and kissed Regina.
"Come on guys stop the creepy mind reading thing you got to get going and also there are children in the room" Henry laughed as he passed by his mothers on his way to the stage.
Emma kissed Regina one more time before letting her go and taking her hand so they could fallow Adeline and Henry.
Once to the stage they could hear Snow addressing the audience.
"Now without further ado to kick off the show Emma and Regina!" Everyone clapped and cheered as snow walked off the stage and the lights went down. That was the couple's que to take their place.
With microphones in hand Emma walked up first followed by Regina, Adeline and Henry stand off stage to watch their mothers and wait for their turn.
The melody of a piano is heard. The tempo is slow and somber. After a few seconds Emma starts to sing.( watch?v=VpUvQ3JtUXc ) (Meghan Tranner - kindly calm me down)
(Emma)
So cold, alone
Could you be my blanket?
Surround my bones
When my heart feels naked
No strength, too weak
I could use some saving
And you're love's so strong
Like a pill I take it, I take it, I take it
Like a pill your love, I take it, I take it
I take it, like a pill your love I take it
As the song heads into the chours the melody picks up. Emma turns and holds out her hand as the lights go up and Regina takes Emma's offered hand and with a quick calming breath she starts to sing with Emma.
When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?
When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?
If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?
If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?
The crowds starts cheering overwhelmed with the feeling that the woman are conveying. Still holding her hand Regina turns to face Emma and starts her solo. Emma squeezing her hand in silent support.
When my heart's not pure
Would you kill my disease?
And when there's no cure
You are just what I need
When I lose my mind
Would you still remind me?
When I'm feeling lost
Would you come and find me?
I'd take it, I would take it
Like a pill, your love, I take it
I take it, I take it
Like a pill, your love, I take it
Emma and Regina sing the chorus together once again still facing each other but no longer holding hands instead they are moving around the stage and each other. Really getting into the song.
When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?
When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?
If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?
If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?
(Regina and Emma switch off every other line. (Regina does the first line))
When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?
When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?
If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?
If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?
Coming back together they both grab each other's free hand and finish the song once again facing each other looking deeply into the others eyes.
When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?
When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?
If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?
If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,(calm down, babe (3x)Regina) would you kindly calm me down?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ,(calm down, babe (3x)Regina) would you kindly calm me down?
The music stops and there is a beat of silence before the crowed starts going bazerk! The couple take a bow and leave the stage. Snow comes back on stage to introduce the next act.
"Up next we have Henry and Adeline dancing to Justin Timberlake's Can't stop this feeling." Snow said as she clapped and walked off stage "have fun you guys" she whispered as she walked past the kids.
"you got this guys! We love you!" both Emma and Regina said as their children walked out on stage.
Once the kids song began Emma turns to Regina grabs her by the waste and swings her around causing Regina to let out a startled squeak the turns into a laugh. "that was amazing! You did so great! I told you, you could do it!"
"Emma put me down." Regina laughed. Emma put her down and when she did Regina kissed her. "Thank you for believing in me." Regina smiled at Emma. Both mothers then turned to watch their kids dance number.
Up on stage Adeline and Henry kick, spinning and bopping their way around the stage. Not much of a routine going on because Adeline is only two and a half and likes to do her own thing when she is dancing, there for forcing Henry to just follow her lead. But hey they were having fun. They would periodically come together so they could swing together from side to side. Before everyone knew it the song was over and the kids were running of the stage where they met their mothers.
"You guys did amazing!" Emma exclaimed while Regina went with "I'm so proud of you both!" after a round of celebratory hugs Emma said "Okay let's go change for our last number." Emma grabbed Regina's hand and all but dragged her to the make shift dressing room.
Before Emma and Regina knew it, it was time for them to close out the show and Emma was extra nervous about it because she had a surprise at the end for Regina and she wanted it to be perfect. Emma tapped her pocket one last time to make sure the ring was there. Emma looked over to Regina and saw she was also fidgeting.
"Once again to close the show Emma and Regina!" they heard Snow say. The lights went down once more and the crowd quieted their cheers. Both woman took deep breaths and walked out on stage and got in their spots. The lights went up and the music started. ( watch?v=4GsJ9blVxFo&list=PLvzEn4OteWUk1SYJZqx3ln0S3AaiYZ7U8 ) ( love is an open door- Frozen)
Regina: Okay, can I just, say something crazy?
Emma: I love crazy!
Regina: All my life has been a series of doors in my faceAnd then suddenly I bumped into you
Emma: I was thinking the same thing! 'Cause likeI've been searching my whole life to find my own placeAnd maybe it's the party talking or the chocolate fondue
Regina: But with you
Emma: But with you
Emma: I found my place. (Emma puts her hand over Regina's heart)
Regina: I see your face (Regina cups Emma's cheek)
Both: And it's nothing like I've ever known before... Love is an open door, Love is an open door, Love is an open door.
Regina: With you
Emma: With you
Regina: With you
Emma: With you
Both: Love is an open door
Emma spins Regina in a circle and when she stops she keeps ahold of her hand.
Emma: I mean it's crazy
Regina: What?
Emma: We finish each other's
Regina: Sandwiches
Emma: That's what I was gonna say!
Regina: I've never met someone
Both: Who thinks so much like me, Jinx! Jinx again!Our mental synchronization
Can have but one explanation
They do the little robot move like in the movie that causes the people to cheer more than they already are.
Emma: You
Regina: And I
Emma: Were
Regina: Just
Both: Meant to be
Regina: Say goodbye
Emma: Say goodbye
Both: To the pain of the past, We don't have to feel it any more, Love is an open door, Love is an open door, Life can be so much more
Regina:With you
Emma: With you
Regina:With you
Emma:With you
Both:Love is an open door
Emma:Can I say something crazy?
Emma got down on one knee and pulled out the ring box and opened it up. She presented it to Regina who had her hand over her mouth in shock. Emma reached for Regina's free hand. "Will you marry me?"
By this point the crowed had quieted their cheers so they could hear the answer that Regina was going to give.
Regina who was nodding her head pulled her hand away from her face with tears of joy in her eyes and said "Can I say something even crazier? Yes!" the crowd goes wild once more and Emma jumps up from her spot and hugs and kisses Regina. She pulled back and put the ring on the brunette's finger then hugs her again both laughing with joy. Regina does not even protest as Emma lifts her and swings her around like after their first song.
