Henry returned just after Emma and Regina had finished their lunch. Regina was washing the dishes while Emma was drying them and putting them away. They hadn't heard Henry come in so they had no idea that he was watching them at the kitchen door. "What if he hates me?" Asked Emma.
"Who?" Regina asked confused. "Henry, what if Henry hates me? I'm trying so hard to make up for lost time and I don't want to cause him any upset by making him think I'm taking you away from him. How-" "Erm emma!" Regina cut her off. "Please let me just get this out. I don't want him to be hurt however I don't want to lose you and what we have. I really like you Regina." Emma finished. "That's sweet and all... but I was just going to let you know that Henry is at the door." Regina replied. "Oh Erm... sorry kid I didn't hear you come in!" Emma said a little embarrassed. "It's okay mum. I don't hate you, I love you and I love that you are both finally happy. I'm so so unbelievably sorry about last night I was just shocked, it was very unexpected but I really am happy for you. I'm sorry if I upset you last night leaving like that I love you both so much." Henry said reassuringly whilst giving both his mums a hug.
"How about I take the day off work and we all have a movie day. I'm sure the town will run smoothly for just one day without me!" Regina said with a smirk. "That sounds great! Can I pick the first movie?" Henry asked looking at both his mums. "Of course you can kid go pick one from your collection!" Emma said with a smile. Regina walked up to the blonde giving her a big hug of reassurance and then she gave her a nice soft kiss. They didn't do this for long as they heard Henry coming back downstairs and they didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable. Emma walked over to the cupboard on the top left and grabbed a big bowl whilst Regina got some microwave popcorn ready. "Hey mum and erm mum is spiderman okay?" Henry asked. "Sure honey!" Both Regina and Emma answered back at the same time whilst giggling. They got the rest of the snacks ready before joining henry on the sofa in the sitting room where they remained all day watching movies. Henry decided to sit on his own chair next to them not because he felt uncomfortable but because he wanted to allow them space. He wanted them to be happy together and feel like they can be themselves in their home. Emma and Regina laid snuggling and holding hands throughout the whole day on that sofa as Henry changed the movies as they finished casually catching himself watching them in awe a few times.
"You know you will have to tell Mary Margaret soon." Regina told Emma. "I know I'm just a bit nervous." Emma replied. "It's okay we will do it together I will be there to support you!" Regina said reassuringly then kissing her forehead as they were still snuggling. "We will all tell her, after all operation happy endings will never be complete without having our families support." Henry declared. "Operation happy endings? When did you come up with that?" Regina asked. "Just now, I can see how happy you both are so it just clicked." Henry replied. "I love it kid!" Emma said glancing him a smile. "So do I!" Regina said winking at him. "Fine then it is settled, we will all tell her tomorrow. It is better to do it sooner rather than later because it will be easier to explain. Also there will be less time for you to be nervous!" Henry declared chucking popcorn and both his mothers causing a popcorn war.
