It had been months since Emma was back in Storybrooke and things were starting to go back to normal. Well, as normal as can be in a town full of fairy tale characters. Emma was starting to cheer up, with the help of her family and her family was happy to have her back home.
Today was Emma's birthday and Regina was determined to make it as special as could be. She and both their kids had each found perfect gifts for the blonde, Regina had prepared Emma's favorite meal, 'cause let's face it, nothing could make the blonde happier than Regina's food (except her family, of course). The day was going to be perfect.
As Regina woke up that morning, she felt something was off. She turned around to the blonde, but she wasn't there. Tears filled the brunette's eyes. Did she leave us again? were the first thoughts that popped into Regina's mind. She instantly took out her phone and saw a message from Emma.
E: Sorry for leaving so early… Got called into work, didn't want to wake you! See you tonight? Love you, Em
Regina quickly wrote a reply, before starting her day.
R: You could have woken me… I was worried when you weren't there! Of course, I'll see you tonight; it's your birthday ;) I love you too
E: Is that today? Huh, must have forgotten the date…
Regina smiled at her girlfriends comment.
R: Happy Birthday, my love! Can you take the afternoon off?
E: Don't know… You should ask my boss! ;p
Regina rolled her eyes, but laughed anyway.
R: Be home by noon and I'll make your favorite for lunch?
E: How can I refuse that? Your food AND one of my favorite ladies?!
Regina's eyes narrowed.
R: One of?
E: Yes, one of! You and our beautiful daughter are my favorite ladies ;)
R: You're sweet :)
E: I love you! And I love our children! 3
R: We love you too 3
