So I totally forgot to upload the chapter from yesterday, so here's another one to make up for the lost day.

Regina walked up the stairs leading to Snow and David's apartment. Henry was keeping Emma busy by having a fun day out, giving Regina time to do the errand that she really didn't want to do.

Regina knocked, and to her dismay, it was Snow that answered. "Regina," Snow said. She still was on edge about Emma being with Regina, but David was luckily keeping her in check.

"Hello Snow," Regina said. "May I come in?"

Snow hesitated, but opened the door wider as David came up next to her and nudged her arm. "Thank you," Regina mouthed to David. He just smiled at her.

"So what's up?" David asked as the three got settled into the living room.

Regina took a deep breath. "I want to ask Emma to marry me," she said. David's smile got even bigger and Snow's eyes just widened.

"You want to what?" Snow whispered.

"Marry Emma," Regina said. "She makes me so happy Snow. I want to spend the rest of my life with her."

David nodded. "Well you have my blessing," he said. Snow looked at him in surprise.

"You're okay with this?" Snow asked. David nodded. "Why?"

David shrugged. "I love you Snow, but technically you're the reason that Regina never got her happy ending the first time. Let her have it."

Snow's jaw dropped. She turned back to Regina, glaring. "Fine," she said between gritted teeth. "You have my blessing."

"Thank you," Regina said, getting up and leaving. As she left, Regina heard Snow begin to argue with David. Regina smirked. Trouble in paradise.


Emma and Henry arrived back at the mansion to find it completely empty. "Regina?" Emma called. No answer. "Didn't she say that she was going to work from home today?" Henry nodded, trying to hide his smile.

Emma walked up the stairs to their bedroom before seeing the note lying on their bed.

Emma,

Surprise! I'm not at home! I'm sure you're very curious about what's going on, and I promise that you'll know soon.

Remember the spot where we first kissed? You know, the kiss that started it all? I'd head there if I were you.

XOXO

Regina

Emma couldn't help but smile. She had the best girlfriend ever, who clearly had something up her sleeve.

"Henry?" Emma called as she came downstairs.

"In the kitchen," Henry replied.

Emma walked in to see Henry digging through the fridge. "Kid, your mom is going to kill me if you ruin your dinner," she said. Henry just shrugged.

"I have to run out quick, don't know when I'll be back. Don't eat everything in the fridge," Emma said.

"No promises," Henry said. Emma laughed as she headed out.


Regina paced on the dock. She played with the box in her pocket, knowing that as soon as Emma arrived, she would want to know what was up. Regina had a speech planned out in her head, but she hoped that she would actually remember it when the time came.

"Regina?" Emma said, walking towards her. Regina turned to her and smiled. Just seeing Emma could brighten her day and calm her down.

"Hey there," Regina said, pulling Emma into a hug. "How was your day with Henry?"

"Fantastic," Emma said. "You raised one good kid." Regina smiled.

"So what are we doing out here?" Emma asked. She pulled away from Regina, but Regina held onto her hands. "Everything okay?"

"Better than okay," Regina said. She gave Emma's hands a squeeze before getting down on one knee. Emma's eyes widened and she gasped.

"Gina what-" Emma asked.

"Just let me talk," Regina said. Emma nodded. "When I first met you, I couldn't stand you. You were the birthmother of my son, and someone who could take him away from me very quickly. But as I got to know you better, I realized just how amazing you really are. You make me smile in a way that no one but Henry can, you make me laugh, you're always there for me, and you have always believed in me. I didn't want to risk loving again, but you, my dear, have made it worth it. So, Emma Swan, will you marry me?"

Emma stared at her with tears in her eyes. She couldn't make any words come out, so she just nodded. Regina smiled and slipped the ring on Emma's finger, before standing up and pulling her in for a kiss.

Emma's eyes suddenly widened. "My parents."

"Already talked to them," Regina said. "Your father is definitely on board. Your mother will tolerate it."

Emma laughed. "Who cares?" she said. "We're getting married." She leaned in and captured Regina's lips for another kiss.

So I was thinking of doing a character death/angsty type chapter since I haven't done that yet. Thoughts?
