Swan-Mills Plus Two
Regina sat poised at the kitchen counter, prepared to finally finish the work that she had been neglecting. It seemed however that today wouldn't be the day.
"Mom," a deep voice called out, followed by the the sound of the door closing. Regina jumped up from her seat, and almost ran to the foyer where she found her twenty seven year old son.
"Not that I'm not thrilled, but why are you back?"
Henry furrowed his brow, "didn't ma tell you? The firm finally let me take my vacation days."
Regina raised her eyebrow, and he just walked forward and hugged her, "don't worry, I have plenty of work to do while I'm here."
Regina rolled her eyes and returned the hug.
"I thought you was coming this weekend."
"Ma said that she wants Tamsin's 18th to be perfect," he finally admitted.
Regina broke into a huge smile, only to be interrupted by the door slamming opening, a very angry teenager stormed in. "You are ruining my life," she shouted, ignoring her mother and brother, she just went upstairs.
Emma just smirked as she closed the door, a five year old sat happily on her shoulders.
"Hey Henry," she smiled.
Henry just blinked a few times, before he came over and picked up his little sister, she instantly brought her arms around his neck.
"Hey Emily," he smiled making her giggle.
Regina welcomed her wife with a small peck on the lips, and finally asked the pressing question, "how did you ruin her life?"
Emma shrugged, "I grounded her for getting an F in a English test."
Henry chuckled deciding that he didn't want to have any part in the teenage drama, he lifted Emily up and ran into the living room.
Regina turned to Emma and asked, "what is she missing?"
"Apparently she wanted to go to the movies with Thomas or something."
Regina nodded, "it is her birthday on Friday."
"You cannot be serious," Emma blanched, she was so sure that she had finally become a good parent, though she did have to practice with Henry as she often joked.
"Is there a makeup test?"
Emma nodded, "tomorrow."
"So how about if she's no longer grounded so long as she gets a B."
"Yes," a voice shouted from the stairs, the girl came running down the stairs at full speed, throwing herself into a hug with her brunette mother.
"Hey, we didn't agree to that," Emma sighed, though she could see that it was far too late.
"Your mother is right Tamsin, it's up to her."
The blonde girl instantly turned on her mother, and pouted.
Emma rolled her eyes, and came forward to put her hand around her shoulders, "you have to get a B+."
The girl's face dropped, before it suddenly lit up and she ran into the living room.
Emma and Regina each shared an amused look, and a moment later Tamsin was dragging her brother into the foyer, Emily followed not far behind clutching a teddy bear. The little girl walked happily over to her blonde mother, who promptly picked her up, allowing a Regina to deal with the situation she had caused.
"Mom, make him help me!"
Henry smacked her hand off his Jacket and shook his head, "why should I?"
"Because you minored in English literature," Tamsin replied with an exasperated sigh.
They each looked at Regina for direction and she just rolled her eyes seeing that Emma was far too preoccupied making faces at their giggling youngest.
"Your brother doesn't have to help you Tam, he is on vacation after all."
The teen frowned and turned to Henry, "I'll give you twenty bucks."
Henry thought for a moment, and relented, "you have to order pizza as well."
Tamsin groaned and agreed, before nodding and leading Henry to her room.
"Well that worked out," Emma chuckled, bringing Emily over to Regina.
"Mommy," the girl giggled, as Regina brought her into a hug.
"How was kindergarten baby?"
"We read a book about dinosaurs," she replied excitedly.
"Well it looks like it's just the three of us for dinner, what do you want?"
"Chocolate ice cream."
Regina shook her head, "how about chicken?"
Emily frowned, but nodded non the less.
"Okay you can be my assistant," the little girl broke into a giggle as Regina took her to the kitchen and placed her on the counter.
Emma followed behind, and brought her arms around her wife's waist while she attempted to wash her hands.
As the blonde leaned her head on her shoulder, she laughed and turned to place her hands around her neck.
"You know, if she doesn't get the grade she's going to be mad if you ground her again."
"Then she'll get the grade."
"What makes you so sure she won't get the grade?"
"I've never once seen her read To Kill a Mockingbird."
"Well then Henry has a lot of work to do," Regina chuckled, releasing herself from the embrace, as she went in search of ingredients.
As she did so, Emily tugged Emma's sleeve, "what's up peanut?" She whispered.
"I want ice cream," she whispered.
Emma looked over at Regina, feeling as if she was conspiring about her, she replied, "if you eat all of the salad, you can have ice cream."
Emily made a face, "you don't eat all of your greens."
"Do as I say, not as I do, kid," she laughed which caused the little one to pout.
-The next morning-
"What's the mockingbird a metaphor for?"
Tamsin bit her lip in concentration, desperately trying to ignore the squealing of Emily as she was chased around the kitchen by Emma, Regina just stood at the island reading some kind of mayoral brief.
"That guy…erm…" Tamsin's brow scrunched up.
"Come on Tam, you know this," Henry insisted.
Emma finally caught Emily, she covered her eyes, and said "boo" causing the girl to giggle uncontrollably.
Tamsin's eyes widened and she lifted her arms in triumph, "Boo Radley," jumping off the stool, she hugged her blonde mother.
Henry rolled his eyes, but still snickered.
Regina looked over her coffee cup with a raised eyebrow, "does this mean your ready to go to school?"
Tamsin bit her lip, looking intently at the book staring menacingly at her.
"As much it hurts to admit this," Henry began, as he stood and walked over Tamsin, "you got this sis."
Tamsin swallowed hard and nodded.
She quickly kissed Emma's cheek and followed her brunette mother out of the door after she had kissed her other two children and wife.
Emma sighed in relief now that her worried daughter was finally on the way to her test.
"Emmy, ready for school?" Emma asked, the girl began to nod vigorously, and Henry yawned beginning to walk away.
"And where are you going?"
"She made me stay up until like four in the morning," he whined.
"You're here to help me plan a party, now sit down and get planning."
Henry groaned, and walked around to discover whether his mother had left any coffee.
Emily snickered at her brother's grumpiness and Emma grabbed at keys.
"See you soon, kid," she chuckled as Henry sighed dramatically while opening his laptop.
