The married life really agreed with Emma. Everything just seemed to fall into place. In the past couple of years she didn't only find her son, her parents but also her true love, her true family. While those thoughts past her mind she took another sip of her coffee.

"Everything okay?"

"Huh?" Emma shook her head to get rid of the haze: "Lena…hi…What did you say?" Because of her daydreaming Emma hadn't noticed that the young girl walking into the kitchen.

"I asked if you were okay? You were kinda…smiling goofy."

Emma laughed: "Yeah, I'm fine. Better than fine even. I was just thinking about how happy I am."

"Okay…If you're done with that, can you help me with my school project?"

"Sure" Emma put her cup coffee down. "What was it again?"

"I have to do an interview of someone about their work."

"Right." Emma coughed, sat herself straight up on her stool and said: "Okay, I'm ready."

Lena took place opposite Emma at the counter with a notebook in front of her. She opened it and asked the first question: "How long have you been a sheriff?"

"Almost five years now."

"And what did you do before you were a sheriff?"

The interview continued like this for about twenty minutes. Lena carefully noted down Emma's answers so she wouldn't forget them later. After writing down the last one she looked up at Emma and smiled: "That was the last question."

"Do you have everything you need?" Emma asked to be certain.

Lena looked over her notes and nodded. "I only need to typed it out so it's a bit cleaner."

"You know, you're a pretty good interviewer."

"I am?" Lena asked surprised.

"Yeah. You ask good questions."

"Thanks."

"So what are your plans for the rest of the day?"

"I'm going to visit Aero."

"How's he doing with living in the woods?" Not long after the wedding they decided it was time for Aero to move out of the backyard. He was growing fast and needed more space.

"He's doing great. He definitively loves having more space to move."

"I can imagine. Say hi from me, okay?" Emma took her cup of coffee from the counter and stood up from her stool.

"I will" Lena promised and also jumped down. She grabbed her bag that was hanging on a chair, putting a bottle of water and some cookies and fruit in it. She flung it over her shoulder and made her way to the front door. When she exited the kitchen Lena automatically said: "Bye mom." Before she even completely realized what she said exactly Lena heard something shatter to the ground. She turned around in shock and found Emma frozen with the same shock, standing in front of a her broken cup on the floor. They stood there, staring. One very surprised, the other scared to death. Minutes seemed to go by.

Lena was the one who broke the silence first, sounding very scared: "I…I…I'm…sorry." Lena didn't wait for Emma to react and just ran to the front door. Emma didn't broke out of her frozen shock until Lena had already pulled open the door.

"Lena! Wait!" Emma called after the young girl, who was running down the street. Emma knew she couldn't keep up with Lena so she grabbed her phone and dialed her wife. As soon as Emma spoke the words 'Lena ran' Regina appeared in front of her in a cloud of purple smoke. After telling everything to Regina what had happened Emma looked at her wife and asked: "What do you think we should do? Should we go search for her?"

Regina thought about it: "I don't think so. I'm pretty sure she went to Aero like she said she would. I think we should wait for her here, at home. If she's not home when it's dark we'll go look for her."

Emma sighed, closed her eyes and let her head hang down: "It my fault she ran away. If I only…"

"Hey," Regina interrupted and put a finger under Emma's chin pulling her head up so Emma looked straight into her eyes: "It's not your fault. I think Lena just got startled from herself." She placed a soft kiss on her wife's lips.

Lena's heart was racing and not only from running. She stood in front of the front door with her hand floating above the door knob. With a deep breath she grabbed it and turned to push open the door. She had hoped to run up the stairs before anyone had noticed her coming in. No such luck.

"Lena…Can you come here for a moment?" Regina asked from out of sight.

Lena slowly walked through the living room into the kitchen, nervously looking from her mother to…well at the moment she didn't knew what to call the blonde woman.

"Come sit with us. We like to talk to you for a bit" Regina said.

Lena sat down and spoke nervously: "I'm really sorry…I…"

"Hey you don't have anything to be sorry about" Emma interrupted: "I'm actually really honored that you called me…'mom'…It just took me by surprise."

"Honey there is something we like to talk about with you. It's something Emma and I have been discussing for a while now but we decided not to bring it up until you were ready for it" Regina told. She pushed a bundle of papers over the table in front of Lena.

"My adoption papers" Lena stated.

"If Emma signs these like I did a couple of years ago, it would make us both your mothers legally."

"You want to be my mom?" Lena asked astonished.

"Yeah, of course I do. But you don't have to answer right away. Just think about it for a while" Emma said.

"I don't have to think about it..." Lena looks up to look into Emma's eyes: "I'd love it…I already see you like my mom…like you noticed this morning" she smirked.

"You really want this?" Emma asked excited.

Lena nodded, the smile on her face still growing. Regina and Emma copied that smile and of course the hugs followed.

Next chapter coming soon.
