To those of you that reviewed, it seems that the agreement was that you like longer chapters. I'll see what I can do :) This chapter is for 1CreativeMind with the prompt: "can you write One Where Regina Is planning a big suprise To Emma for their anniversary but Emma thinks that She Is cheating on her or hiding something From her And discovers What It was and ruins the surprise?"

Today was the day that Emma Swan's life had changed for the better. She and Regina had been dating for 3 years, and it had been the best 3 years that Emma had ever experienced.

Emma rolled over, fully expecting to see the beautiful face of her girlfriend, only to be met with a note of Regina's pillow. Frowning, Emma reached over and grabbed it.

Good morning!

Sorry for running, but I have to get some things done at the office before we can really spend time together.

Love you!

Regina

Emma smiled before deciding to get up for the day. Maybe after she got dressed, she could go visit Regina at her office.

Emma was confused. She had gone to visit Regina, but Regina's secretary had told her that Regina hadn't been into work that morning. So where could she be?

"Hey Emma," Ruby greeted. "What can I do for you?"

"Have you seen Regina this morning?" Emma asked.

"Can't say that I have," Ruby replied. "Is something going on? You usually know exactly where each other are."

"She disappeared on me," Emma said.

"I saw her walking into Gold's shop," Granny said. "Check with him."

"Thanks!" Emma said.

"Haven't seen her," Gold said. Belle glanced at him before going to the back room.

"Granny said that she saw Regina enter your shop this morning," Emma accused.

"Then she broke in," Gold replied calmly. "Because I didn't see her."

Emma glared at him. "Did Belle see her?"

Belle walked out from the back room. "No, I didn't. I was in the back room for most of this morning. Lots of inventory to finish."

Emma looked at them both skeptically before sighing and leaving. Belle turned to Gold. "Did we really have to lie to her?"

"Yes," Gold replied. "You do not want to deal with Regina if you break a promise."

Emma had walked into every shop and building in Storybrooke, and yet no one had seen Regina. Searching the forest would be impossible, since there was too much to search. Emma sighed in defeat before heading to the last place that she could check.

Emma knocked on the door of Snow and David's apartment. "Mom? Dad?"

"David, what do we do?" Snow whispered. "We can't lie to our own daughter!"

"But we can't betray Regina either," David whispered back.

"I can hear you whispering," Emma said. She smirked as Snow and David hesitantly opened the door.

"Hi Emma," Snow said. "We were just discussing our anniversary present for you and Regina."

"Is that so?" Emma questioned. She stared at her mother knowingly. Several beats passed, and Emma saw Snow beginning to crack.

"Regina is going to propose to you!" Snow blurted. Her eyes widened in horror and she covered her mouth with her hands.

"She's going to what?" Emma said quietly.

"You can't tell her that I told you," Snow pleaded. "I've finally worked out some of our issues. Please. She can't know."

"She's really going to propose," Emma whispered. She turned away from her parents before leaving. She had a girlfriend to find.

Regina sat on the porch of the mansion, waiting for Emma to return. She knew that the note would lead Emma on a wild-goose chase, and that had been her plan. Reaching into her pocket, Regina pulled out the ring that she had acquired from Gold.

Emma's birthstone was opal, so naturally she had gone to Gold with a request for a ring with an opal stone. Twelve single-cut diamonds surrounded the stone, making the ring look as beautiful as Regina had hoped.

Regina was brought out of her musings as she saw Emma's bug pull into the driveway. She hurriedly returned the ring to her pocket, not wanting to ruin the surprise.

"Where have you been?" Emma asked. "I've been looking everywhere."

"Well you found me," Regina said. "Hi."

Emma laughed. She remembered the day that she had met Regina as Henry's birth mother and said the same "hi". Oh how things had changed.

"Do you remember the day that we met?" Regina asked.

"Of course," Emma replied. "You hated my guts."

Regina smiled. "I was afraid that I would lose Henry."

Emma winced. "Yeah, sorry about that."

"It's quite alright," Regina said. "I forgave you a long time ago. I do, however, have something for you."

"Oh really?" Emma asked. "And what might that be?"

Regina got down on one knee before smiling up at Emma. "When we first met at this spot, I hated you."

"So romantic," Emma chuckled.

Regina rolled her eyes. "Let me finish," she scolded. Emma smiled and nodded.

"As I got to know you better, I realized that my hatred had turned into attraction. I loved being around you, and so I was determined to start a relationship with you. And now, here we are. I love you so much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So, Emma Swan, will you marry me?"

"Like you even had to ask," Emma said, smiling. Regina laughed before slipping the ring onto Emma's finger.

"Consider it a needed formality," Regina said.

"This is beautiful," Emma said softly. "It looks like your mirror!" Regina smiled before kissing Emma sweetly.

"Just a reminder of what you're getting yourself into," she said.

"I don't know," Emma said. "I actually think that the Evil Queen is quite sexy." Regina rolled her eyes. Of course she did.

Emma intertwined their fingers before tugging Regina back towards the house. "By the way," she said. "My mom totally ratted you out."

Don't know if this was the kind of anniversary that you were looking for, but it's what I went with. Review pretty please :) If you want to see the ring, PM me and I'll give you the detailed description of how I found it.
