Regina was already awake the next morning when Henry had come bounding into the room.
She hadn't slept well the night before, the spot on the side of her bed was unusually empty, and she missed the blonde who usually nestled into her at night.
Regina had cried quietly as she realised just how much Emma really meant to her, and even one day without her by her side made her feel positively empty and pining for the other woman's touch.
"Mum, are you awake?" Henry asked in a whisper, glad to see Regina roll over and smile at him.
"Good Morning, my little Prince, come here." She sat up slowly, opening her arms, so Henry took the hint and climbed onto the bed.
"I miss Emma." He mumbled into Regina's shoulder as he cuddled her.
"Me too, me too." Regina sat Henry on her lap, something she hadn't done with the 10 year old in a long time.
"Why did David have to take her yesterday?" Henry asked, Regina knowing this question was bound to come, she just wasn't prepared for it. "Does she not want to live with us anymore?" Henry asked, he was confused as to why Emma had gone.
"No, sweetheart, Emma loves being here very much but you know I told you that sometimes she gets sad." Regina sighed, Henry nodding his head.
"But I gave her a hug and she tried to hit me." Henry started to cry.
"It's complicated Henry, Emma loves you, but you know sometimes when people get sick and they can' control what they're doing?" Regina asked,Henry half nodding.
"Is Emma dying?" He asked, sobbing onto Regina's chest.
"No, she's not dying Henry, I promise, it's just when she forgets to take her tablets she can't control what she does and we just have to help her or sometimes David has to help ok?" Regina asked, Henry nodding slowly, still clinging to his Mother fiercely.
Regina just held Henry, calming him down slowly until his breathing had evened out.
"Shall we go and talk to Emma?" Regina asked, Henry nodding.
"Can I ask her why she feels sad?" Henry looked up at Regina with big puppy dog eyes. "Because if we know what's sad then we can fix it." He stated logically.
"I don't know, let's see how she is, ok?" Regina suggested, Henry nodding once again. "Now, go and get dressed, the quicker you get ready the quicker we can go and get Emma." She smiled, kissing the top of his head before he flung himself off the bed and into his room.
Regina brushed through her hair quickly, before pulling on a pair of black slacks and a dark blue shirt.
She then took her time doing her makeup and lightly curling her hair, hearing Henry clomping around in his own room.
She sighed as she looked around her room and saw how much of Emma was there.
Her top and jeans were flung over the chair, her bras were flung haphazardly around the room and her scent lingered everywhere.
Henry came quickly bouncing back into the room, the Little Mermaid DVD once again tight in his clutch.
"I'm ready, mum." He grinned, Regina calling him over to brush his hair down into his normal parting.
"Very handsome, but we need some breakfast first, my Little Prince." Regina smiled, standing slowly from her seat.
"Can we get Granny's and take some for Emma?" Henry pleaded, Regina easily conceding and ushering Henry into the car.
They arrived at Mary Margaret and David's house almost 40 minutes after they had left home, breakfast for 5 carefully concealed in the boxes which Regina carried.
Henry insisted he carried Emma's, so he could give it to her, along with the DVD he continually let her borrow when she was sad.
Regina knocked on the door, surprised when Emma opened the door.
"Hey, sweetheart." Regina's eyes filled with tears, David rushing forward to take the boxes off Regina, the brunette immediately taking the younger woman into her embrace.
"I missed you last night." Emma sighed, holding Regina close, melding against Regina's body.
"I brought you pancakes!" Henry tugged at Emma's pyjama shorts, Emma looking down at the little boy who held up a box.
"Thank you." Emma smiled, Regina kissing her cheek and then her lips, just happy that Emma was back to her normal self.
"I love you." Regina whispered, watching Henry scamper off to help David and Mary Margaret with the food.
"I love you too… You still want me?" Emma asked tentatively, some of her uncertainty creeping back into her voice.
"Yes, always." Regina kissed Emma again. "Now, let's go and eat." Regina took Emma's hand and lead her to the table.
"Can we ask them now?" Emma whispered, following Regina, the two having made some rather big decisions about the wedding a few days before and Emma was desperate to tell everyone.
"Yeah, since everyone is together." Regina smiled, kissing Emma's cheek once more before sitting down next to Henry.
The two women cushioning Henry in like a sardine.
"Since everyone is here, me and Emma have a few things we want to tell you about the wedding." Regina smiled, taking Emma's hand across the table.
"Go on…" Regina nodded to Emma, who continued.
"David, we want you to be the Best Man and walk me down the aisle?" Emma asked, David nodding proudly, reaching across the table to caress Emma's cheek.
"It would be my honour." David smiled, knowing Emma's parents, who had stopped contact with Emma a long time ago would not be invited to this event.
"And Mary Margaret, we want you to be the Maid of Honour?" Emma asked, Mary Margaret bursting into tears, and hugging he blonde, who was forced to let go of Regina's hand.
"What about me?" Henry whined, Regina and Emma both chuckling and Emma pointing to Regina to speak.
"Well, my little Prince, you have got the most important job of all, you get to carry the rings for us and you get to walk me down the aisle, is that ok?" Regina asked.
"Do I get to wear a green suit?" Henry tried his luck, grinning at Emma.
"No, you little monster, but I'm going to take you shopping tomorrow to buy a suit and you can help me find a dress, and David is going to come too." Emma announced.
"And we thought, you might want to help me find a dress?" Regina asked Mary Margaret who nodded tearily again, standing up and walking around to Regina, where she wrapped her arms around the brunette.
"Now, shall we eat this food before it all goes cold?" David laughed, seeing Regina was starting to get uncomfortable with his Wife's arms tightly wrapped around her body.
"Yes, sorry." Mary Margaret blushed, not able to resist dropping a small kiss on Regina's temple, before scrambling back to her seat.
"Have you decided where you're going to have the wedding?" David asked, eating mouthfuls of his pancakes.
"We thought we'd have it on the beach, Regina found out that anyone can marry us, so we were going to ask Ruby." Emma smiled, Mary Margaret nodding, glad that they'd included Emma's friend in this. "We don't want it big, just small and we can have a party afterwards with everyone."
"We thought we'd keep the ceremony small, it would make it less stressful and more enjoyable." Regina smiled, Emma nodding, taking Regina's hand again.
"Sounds like all you need now are the dresses." Mary Margaret smiled, Regina nodding, not seeing the look of love and awe that Emma's eyes were showing as she gazed at her across the table.
