I hope you enjoy this chapter. If you Read it and Like it let me know it- S.K.

The Announcement

Emma

Regina looked like she was about to murder me. But she took it well and stood by me as family and friends began to pop champagne. She took one from Ruby with a smile and turned to me. "You call that the right time to make the announcement?"

"Yes… Yes I did." I answered. She took a swig of the Champagne put the glass down on a passing tray and picked up another.

"Well that's-"

"Emma!" she was interrupted. we turned to look to the source. I couldn't help it. I always light up when I see neal. He was my first love, even if I really didn't love him anymore. He was the father of my child.

"Neal! Oh wow." I said and hugged him. He gave me a firm, lingering hug. "I didn't know you were here"

"Henry wanted it to be a surprise" He said, at the mention of him. The four year old ran and hugged both of our legs

"S'Prise mommy!" Henry said, I lifted him up and hugged him to me.

"Sure was a surprise." I stated. I looked at my es and smiled. "How have you been?"

"I've been great, Just being dad and working is great." he said. I nodded. It figured he would rub it in my face that he got to see Henry every day, where I didn't.

"Yeah, This little guy is awesome." I said.

Neal looked at me, and smiled, that smile that Only I know. I don't know what he saw in my eyes because he blinked and turned his head toward Regina. "We're being rude… Hello." He said and I turned to see my fiancee her sharp eyes focused on us.

"Oh, Yeah . Regina, this is my Ex… Henry's father Neal."

"Hello dear." she said taking his hands and praising him.

"Neal this is Regina, my Fiancee"

"Wow…" Neal said and picked Henry up. "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Regina said. Neal looked at her, then at me. he looked a little confused but he didn't call me out on the fact that he knew I was straight. I insist that sexuality is fluid. Id' like to think that if a transgender, transsexual or transvestite appealed to me as much as guys usually do, I'd be with them too. I guess that would make me Pansexual wouldn't it?

"Did I miss the story?" Neal asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What story?" Both Regina and I asked.

"Of how you proposed." He clarified.

"Oh do tell us!" Mom said excitedly.

"We'd all love to hear how you snagged this straight girl." Granny finished.

"Please Emma?" Mom said again.

"Um…" I said looking at Henry and my family I didn't actually want to make up the lie. My family would know. They always knew. "Regina, proposed so I'll let her tell the story."

Regina glared and me. I smirked in her direction and sat with Henry on my lap. "Well…"

Regina

I guess I can understand why she didn't want to say anything. these people knew her well and could probably spot the lie. But that stupid smirk on her face made me want to mess with Blondie a little. "We had been seeing each other in secret for a year. You know how it is, a boss and her assistant our relationship seemed…"

"Well she would have gotten in trouble really. " Emma said.

"Yes well, Emma liked the sneaking around. so around our first anniversary, Emma started to talk about more. Luckily in New York being discreet is easy when you can get lost in a sea of faces. But more, required a commitment that She had…" I looked around I saw how skeptical the people around me looked. "She had previously completely rejected."

"Well, she was a dragon lady… but once I got to know her like I do… " Emma said and looked me over. "Well look at her she's hot."

I smiled at her. "Thank you dear." I said then turned to my audience. "I simply had better things in mind."

"Yes… because I too am hot… and she had fallen hopelessly in love with me."

"Hopeless dear?" I said and rolled my eyes. "You were the one mooning over me , looking through bridal magazines and finding matching attire, essentially planning the wedding before I even asked."

"That was because I had totally saw your Jared receipt. she always looked so nervous when we were alone. I swear she almost asked me three times and changed her mind. My girl is not subtle."

"You are the one with the commitment issues dear."

"Just because I didn't u-haul it after a week of dating you does not mean I have commitment issues." Emma stated.

"You have commitment issues." the man Neal said. I quirked an eyebrows

"Not wit me she didn't no… she wanted to keep her virtue." Ruby laughed in the corner of the room. Emma shot daggers in her direction.

"Let's not bring those things up, I want to hear the story!" Mary Margaret

"As I was saying." I said looking around the room. "Emma knowing that she was my employee didn't want to live in my home because she didn't want a trace that I was violating some harassment law."

"Just looking out for you babe." Emma stated.

"Anyway. I stayed home 'sick' one day, and sent her a bouquet of flowers at work. and I sent her on a little errand from the note on the flowers."

"she sent me on a scavenger hunt, that finally led me to a key to her apartment asking me to move in."

"Well I needed her to find me at home. and I wanted her to start making my home hers, so .."

"When I got to the apartment, she was there… Naked…"

"Fully clothed-"

"on her knees, with nothing but a ring."

"I was standing…" I corrected yet again.

"surrounded by rose petals." Emma finished. Okay that part was fine.

"Where's the ring?" Mary Margaret asked.

"I had to get it re-sized, she has massive fingers."

"Hey!" Emma said.

I leered at her. "I love your fingers Emma." she blushed and turned away.

Her family chuckled around her at her embarrassment "How about a kiss!" said Granny.

Both of us shook our heads. we hadn't ever done that, and didn't think it would be necessary this soon. "Aw… come on!" Mary Margaret said. then chants of Kiss her kiss her rose through out the living-room.

Emma turned to me and pecked me tersely on the lips. "Make it a real kiss.!" granny shouted.

"Yeah mommy." Henry said standing between her and looked down at her son and smiled. Then she looked at me the look in her eyes full of love that had been meant for her son was still there before it gradually changed to blatant indifference toward me. She looked at my lips. I liked min and leaned forward. our eyes open focusing on anything but the kiss. Then her lips parted slightly and out of reflex I deepened that kiss.

loud cheers went up throughout the house. I couldn't wait for this party to end.

Emma

That fucking Kiss… I had never felt anything like that. Yeah I had never kissed a girl before. but… I wanted more. It was soft, warm and it was with the hottest woman in the world in my point of view. I could do that again. I WANTED to do that again.

The rest of the party I walked around in a daze deep in thought about my Fiancee and those lips. I could fall for her. "Nah it's hormonal. That woman is a bitch." I told myself. But I watched as Ruby and Mom and Granny all converged on Regina.

"You're right, she's super hot." I heard from my right.

"yeah she is." I agree.

"I can see why you stayed away for three years." Neal said. "But the kid Misses you like Crazy."

"I miss him so much. I want to take him with me. I'm good now. and I'm getting married so…"

"You can't take him from me." Neal said.

I quirked an eyebrow. "But I can.. you don't have custody of him at all. for two years, you weren't even in his life. You're back here with your dad working and things are stable but that doesn't change the fact that I nurtured and provided for him from the start."

"He needs you more now than he ever did, but you're gone." Neal said.

"Are you not hearing what I said. He is going to be coming home with me." I answered and walked away. "Are you sure your wife will allow it. she doesn't look like the Kid Type."

"She marries me, she marries Henry. If she doesn't like it she can stuff it.." I said and headed toward my Fiancee.

"Are you tired?" I asked leaning closer and putting my hand on her lower back.

She nodded. "I could really use a rest."

"I'll go have my mom show us to our rooms." I said and headed for mom's direction.
