Regina squeezed Emma's hand as the judge looked over the documents she was holding. Regina could feel Emma's hands shaking in hers, although it was hard to tell if it was Emma's or her own.

"Well, it looks as if we have everything in order here." The judge began to speak as Emma's grip became tighter on Regina's hand and she squeezed her other hand into a tight fist. Regina bit down on her bottom lip and closed her eyes as she anticipated what was to come.

"Henry," the judge looked up at the boy, "how do you feel about this adoption?"

"I feel good," Henry smiled and Diane smiled down at him. "Emma helped me when nobody else cared and Regina is really great... and she makes the best food. I can't wait until I get to go home with them and be a family."

The judge smiled at Henry and then looked to the women who were both looking over at Henry lovingly. "Emma, Regina, Henry…it is my pleasure to sign the decree of adoption for you. Would you like to gather and take a picture?" The women looked at each other and tears began to flow down their faces and before they could turn to Henry he was already on their way to them. They embraced him and received a hug of pure love in return.

The three of them gathered in front of the judge's bench and held up the certificate of adoption. There was not a dry eye in the room as they smiled for their first family picture.

…

"Welcome home kid!" Emma said as they walked in the front door with their son.

"Wow, it's so nice." Henry smiled. "Hey Skittles!" He bent down to pet the dog that greeted him in the hallway.

"Here Henry I'm going to take your bag up to your room. You can come up whenever you are ready okay?" Regina smiled at him.

"Oh, I am ready!" Henry leapt to his feet and followed after her up the stairs with Emma smiling behind him.

Regina opened the door revealing the room to the excited boy for the first time. "Oh my god! Is this really mine?" Henry exclaimed as he ran into the middle of the room and spun in a circle trying to take it all in.

"All yours kid," Emma smiled as she wrapped her arm around Regina's waist and rested her head on the woman's shoulder.

"I can't believe it! Oh my god, I have a TV!" He began running from item to item examining everything that was perfectly displayed for him. "And a computer! You guys are amazing!"

"You deserve it honey," Regina watched in adoration as he thoroughly looked over the books on the shelf next to his window.

"You know all of this stuff is great and everything but it's just so nice to finally be here." Henry said as he sat on his new bed.

Regina smiled and sat down next to him and Emma leaned against the computer desk across from the pair.

"Well it feels pretty great to have you here kid. We have been anticipating it for a long time now. I cannot tell you how many hours we have spent thinking about you."

"Really? Thinking about what?"

"Well, we would wonder how you were doing. What you were learning in school, if you were getting along with your foster family." Regina replied as she watched Henry's expression grow bleak.

"Those people weren't my family. I hated it there. I just wanted to be here with you guys."

"I know kid and I'm sorry that you had to go through that but you are here now and for good this time!"

Henry smiled up at Emma, "Am I still going to be in your class at school tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid not. Children aren't allowed to be in the same room as their parents…um…their guardians…"

"It's okay," Henry said reassuringly, "You are my mom now."

Emma gulped trying to release the lump that had now formed in her throat. "You don't have to call me that or anything kid if it's too soon…"

"No, I want to…it feels nice to call someone that again." He smiled at the blonde who was now fighting back tears.

"Oh, well, in that case…well…okay!" Emma smiled and cleared her throat once again.

"You too," Henry turned to Regina, "Do you both want to be Mom? Or would that be confusing?" Henry giggled.

The question caused both of the emotional women to let out a laugh. "Whatever you want is perfectly fine Henry." Regina smiled at the boy and wrapped her arm around his shoulder giving him a light squeeze.

"Hey, are you hungry?" Henry nodded in reply. "Why don't I go whip us up some dinner? Do you like lasagna?"

"I love lasagna!"

"Perfect! I'm going to change and then I will get started right away." Regina winked at him and squeezed Emma's forearm on her way out of the room.

"So, what would you like to do this evening? Anything you want!"

"After dinner can we take Skittles for a walk?" Henry asked with a smile.

"Oh kid, you are going to make a wonderful Swan!"
