"This is it babe, your big day is finally here!" Emma smiled as she rested her head on Regina's shoulder and wrapped her arms around her waist. "How excited are you right now?"

"I don't think excited quite describes what I am feeling…" Regina took a deep breath as she made eye contact with her wife's reflection in the mirror and finished applying her lipstick.

Emma stood and brought her hands up to tense shoulders and began to lightly rub over the material. "Everything is going to be wonderful baby, I promise. You are the most prepared person I know, alongside my mother, so with both of you behind this…it's going to be amazing!"

Regina turned around, her hips resting against the vanity, and smiled into loving eyes. "Thank you gorgeous. I'm glad you will be there for support. I couldn't have done any of this without you."

Emma nodded, "Yeah, you could have, but you're welcome." Emma leaned in and kissed her wife as Regina's hands found their way into loose curls.

"Hey moms…ew... God…" Henry saw them kissing and spun around. "Ew, ew, ew," He said again as he quickly walked out of the bathroom.

Both women started laughing as they separated and Emma called out, "What's up kid?"

"Nothing! I will find my tie myself!" Henry shouted from down the hall. "Next time close a door!"

Emma looked at Regina and shook her head causing Regina to roll her eyes and laugh. "Well I suppose I should fix my lipstick now…."

…..

Emma made her way through the crowded restaurant and into the kitchen. The frenzy of people, dishes clanking, and random orders being yelled out caused her heart to begin racing. The sometime chaotic atmosphere of her sixth grade classroom was nothing compared to this and she grew even more respect for her wife in that moment. She smiled as she saw Regina in her element. She was slightly bent over the metal counter top placing the finishing touches on one of her desserts.

Emma didn't want to interrupt so she simply stood off to the side and admired the beauty doing what she loved most. She loved the way that she bit her bottom lip when she was concentrating. She loved the way Regina looked earlier in the evening when she was in a stunning dress and her hair was done just right, but something about her in this element, when she isn't dressed to the nines and her hair is wrapped up with just a few loose strands falling naturally around her face, she was breathtaking.

"Emma, how long have you been standing there?" Regina laughed as she stood up to place the dishes on the tray next to her.

"I lost track of time," Emma smiled.

"Aw," Regina walked over and placed a kiss on the blonde's cheek. "How was your meal?"

"Amazing, the place is packed babe!"

"I know, it's been nonstop back here!"

"Mmhmm and I thought you said you were staying out of the kitchen tonight?" Emma laughed. "I knew you couldn't resist!"

"I know," Regina sighed, "I can't help it! I did the pictures and the whole grand opening thing and then I just had to get back here. I went in the bathroom threw my hair up and changed!"

Emma smiled, "I knew it would happen. I saw you sneak a bag into the car."

Regina laughed, "You saw that huh?"

Emma nodded, "yeah, you can't get anything by me babe."

"Where is Henry?"

"He's at the table with Killian and my Dad. Talking manly men talk."

Regina laughed, "Oh boy."

"Yeah, I think there's a girl at school that he likes here tonight."

"Where is she? I want to see her!" Regina started walking towards the doors.

"Calm down babe, you're not going to go grill the poor girl."

"I won't! I'm just curious is all?"

"Mhmm, no I'm not showing you."

"Regina, I need your help with something really quick," Belle interrupted with a stack of invoices in hand.

"Thank God!" Emma laughed as she kissed her wife on the cheek. "I'm going back to the table, you go back to work…"

"He is not allowed to start dating yet!" Regina yelled as Belle grabbed her hand and began pulling her in the opposite direction.

"Uh huh okay babe. I love you!" Emma laughed as she walked through the double doors.

…

It was a little after two in the morning when Emma felt Regina's warmth enter the bed.

"Hi baby, you're home."

"I am, sorry I woke you." Regina whispered as she placed a kiss on the blonde's shoulder.

"Don't be silly. How was the rest of your night?"

"Wonderfully exhausting," Regina smiled as she wrapped her arms around her wife and rested her head into the crook of her neck.

"I am so proud of you beautiful."

"Thank you." Regina smiled as she took a deep breath and felt her eyes fill with tears. She never dreamt that her life could turn out this way. Somewhere inside of her she had always hoped that she would accomplish one of her goals whether personal or professional. However, to fulfill her wildest fantasies of owning her own restaurant, being married to the woman of her dreams, and having a wonderful son? She had to continue to remind herself that it was real.

Emma felt a tear hit her skin and turned over, "Hey, baby, are you okay?"

"I'm amazing," Regina smiled into concerned eyes.

"Are you sure?" Emma asked bringing a hand up to wipe the side of her face.

"Positive, I love you so much."

"I love you too honey." Emma pulled Regina into her chest and cradled her head running her fingers into luxurious hair.

"Everything is so perfect right now. Do you ever get worried that things are going to fall apart?"

"No." Emma replied full of confidence.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Well I can't promise you that things will always be perfect. Life is messy. I can promise you however that I will always be here. There isn't anything that can happen that would ever make me not want to be by your side. You might be a little crazy at times," both women laughed, "but I've never known anyone with a more pure and beautiful heart. There will never be another soul like you. We can conquer anything baby. That's how I am so sure."

A/N So, that's it! Thank you for everyone who read and followed this story! I know that there was more I could have explored with this one but I started to lose interest with writing it and then I know my writing would have suffered. More than likely there will be a sequel when inspiration strikes. Your reviews meant the world to me! Thank you!
