Only 100 days left! Crazy right?

"Ma," Lola called as Emma went to shut her bedroom door. "Will you tell me a story before I fall asleep?"

"Sure," Emma said, walking to her bookshelf. "What do you want me to read?"

"I don't want you to read anything," Lola said. "I want you to tell me a story."

"Okay," Emma said slowly. "What do you want this story to be about exactly? Or do I have to decide?"

"I want it to be about you," Lola said. "Anything about you throughout your life."

Emma thought about it for a few seconds before sitting on the edge of Lola's bed with a smile. "Okay. I'm going to tell you the story of how I met your mom."

Lola wrinkled her little nose. "This story isn't going to be all lovey is it?"

Emma laughed. "No, it won't. Actually it starts off completely different than that. When I first got to town all those years ago, we sort of hated each other. "

"You did?" Lola asked in disbelief.

"We did," Emma admitted. "She thought that I was going to take Henry from her, and we ended up getting into lots of fights and trying to hurt each other."

"What made you stop?" Lola asked.

"Over time we started to build a friendship," Emma said. "We came to an understanding that we both wanted what was best for Henry, and that included both of us being in his life. So we set aside our differences and worked together for Henry."

"And then you got married and had me!" Lola said excitedly.

Emma chuckled. "It wasn't quite that easy, Lo. Around the time that we realized we had feelings for each other, I was dealing with some boy issues."

"Boy issues?" Lola asked. "Boys are yucky."

"I was dating a boy when I found out that I was in love with your mom," Emma said. "I didn't know what to do, so I kept it a secret for a long time."

"What made you tell her?" Lola asked.

Emma smiled. "I sacrificed myself to become the Dark One so that she wouldn't. We talked about why I did it later, and I ended up admitting my feelings."

"You sacrificed yourself?" Lola asked. "I could never be able to do that."

"You'll understand some day," Emma said. "Some people are just worth sacrificing yourself for. Now, you need to get some sleep."

"But what happened next?" Lola demanded.

"You know what happened next," Emma said, tucking Lola in and kissing her forehead. "We dated for awhile, got married, and then had you and adopted Ava. The End."

Lola huffed in annoyance before snuggling under her covers. "Night Ma."

"Night Lo," Emma said, flipping off her light. "Sweet dreams."

"I liked your story," Regina said as Emma walked into their bedroom.

"You heard that?" Emma asked. "I didn't think that I was talking that loud. Sorry if I woke you or anyone else up."

"You didn't," Regina said, smirking. "I was standing outside of the door."

Emma rolled her eyes before climbing into bed next to Regina. "Of course you were. Why wouldn't I have expected you to be listening?"

Regina laughed and turned on her side to face Emma. "I was interested in what you had to say. I think that you covered the sequence of things perfectly."

"You mean the fact that we hated each other, became friends, and then fell in love?" Emma asked. "Followed by getting married and having 2 more children?"

"Technically we had one child," Regina pointed out. "The other one is adopted."

"Technicalities," Emma said.

Regina smiled before leaning forward and resting her forehead against Emma's. "I'm glad that we sorted out everything and are where we are now."

"Me too," Emma said. "I can't imagine a life where I'm not Emma Swan-Mills. I don't want to."

Regina kissed her gently. "I love you so much."

"I love you more," Emma countered.

Regina just chuckled. "Not possible."

Little bit of fluff for a Sunday :)
