The family spent the morning and early afternoon at Kennedy space centre. Emma was amazed when she stepped onto space shuttle Atlantis and her and Regina had taken their time exploring the exhibits while henry had played on the games throughout the floor.
They took a bus tour of the complex to the famous launch pad and took in the sites of some of NASA's most famous landmarks.
They spent hours exploring before setting down for lunch with astronaut Bob Cenker. Emma and Regina sat back and watched their son in his element interacting with his newest hero. He asked lots of questions and got some tips on what he needed to do to become an astronaut himself.
Regina shared a story with Emma about Henry making the same declaration at 4 years old after watching a cartoon about a boy named Henry who took a trip to space. Henry had spent the next week talking about his trip to space and what he was going to do and see. Emma had felt a little sad to have missed too many precious moments like that but was happy that from now on she would be with Regina for the rest. Maybe Henry would be an astronaut. Whatever he chose to be she knew full well he would have two mothers to back him all the way.
Late afternoon the family made their way over to Universal Studios for an afternoon of rides and fun.
On exiting the Minion ride Emma and Henry posed happily with a Minion as Emma took their photograph.
"Say cheese" she said before snapping a few quick shots.
Somehow she had managed to convince Regina and Henry to wear their matching 'Thing' t-shirts and they looked utterly adorable in the matching red tops. Surprisingly Regina had agreed without any persuasions. Perhaps however it was the kisses she received before she was asked the question that made 'yes' the only answer she was able to give. Henry on the other hand had been less willing to cooperate and in the end she had given him $20 for the privilege.
"Where to next?" Emma asked before wrapping an arm around Regina's shoulder.
"The Simpsons ride?" Regina replied almost too eagerly.
"Regina are you a secret Simpsons fan?" Emma teased.
"What no… I just thought the ride looked good" Regina tried to deny.
"Oh yes so what's the ride like?" Emma asked probingly.
"I don't know…"
"But you think it looks good."
"Ok I'm a secret Simpsons fan. Now can we go?" she replied rolling her eyes at the blonde.
Emma looked to Henry silently telling him the ball was in his court.
"Sounds great!" he said before he led his mother's over to the ride. He stopped on the way to have his photograph taken with the Simpson family.
"Go join him" Emma nudged Regina.
"Its fine, you go?" Regina responded politely.
"You're the secret fan" the blonde said with a smile pushing the brunette along.
"Excuse me" the grey old lady behind them in the queue interrupted "I'm sorry to interrupt but I could take the picture if you want to a family shot?" the women offered eagerly with a big smile.
"That would be great, Thank you" Regina replied before taking the camera from Emma's hand and handing it over to the women, returning her smile gratefully.
Regina took Emma by the hand and led her over to Henry. The family posed with equally big grins as the lady snapped a few photographs.
Emma went over to the lady and took the camera back from the women before offering her a smile and thank you.
"Not a problem, you have a beautiful family" the woman said as she handed the camera to Emma.
"I do, don't I?" Emma answered rhetorically with a huge grin plastered across her face.
When Emma re-joined her 'Family' she placed a hand on each of their shoulders before kissing them both in turn on the cheek.
"What was that for?" Regina asked, noticing the huge grin on the blondes face.
"Nothing I just wanted to give my 'beautiful family' a kiss.
"Stop with the weird Ma" Henry instructed before running off ahead of his mothers' towards the ride.
"Are you ok?" Regina asked with huge smile.
"The lady told me that I 'have a beautiful family'"
"Ok…" Regina replied waiting for more explanation from the blonde.
"I guess it just hit me." Regina's eyebrow rose in question.
"Not the beautiful part." She said playfully smacking Regina's shoulder "the family part… I have a family"
"You do" Regina replied before kissing the blonde passionately.
"Gross! Stop with the PDA and come ooooooon" Henry called over to them from the entrance to the ride.
Regina loved the ride. She enjoyed seeing the characters from the show and they crazy story about Sideshow Bob escaping from prison to seek revenge on Krusty in Krustyland.
"That was amazing!" Henry said enthusiastically as they exited the ride.
"It was. In fact I think that was my favourite ride so far" Regina stated enthusiastically.
"What about Dumbo?" Emma teased with a gentle nudge.
"Ok maybe joint favourite"
"Shall we grab a snack?" Emma asked with a cheeky smile.
"Are you ever not hungry?"
"Nope… I'm pretty much always ready to eat."
"Lead the way then" Regina replied to the excited blonde.
As they walked into the fast food restaurant Regina was already pulling a disgusted face as she looked at food available.
"What would you like?" Emma asked eagerly.
"I'm fine, I'll go choose us a table why you order" Regina started to walk away but heard Emma make a strange whiney noise that buy her focus back on the blonde who was standing there with a pouting face, lips poised for a kiss.
Regina laughed to herself before placing a soft kiss of the blonde's lips. She heard Emma whisper a "That's better" before turning and walking away with a disturbed looking Henry.
Ten minutes later Emma and Henry re-joined Regina with their chosen snacks.
Henry choose a Flaming Moe which looked a like an orange juice that had steam coming off it. Just like it the television program.
"What did you get?" Regina asked Emma sceptically.
"I got us Mt. Swartwelder apple drink, its apple, lemonade, and freshly brewed tea. I thought you might like it" Emma replied with a shy shrug.
The small gesture didn't go unnoticed by Regina she knew full well Emma would never have chosen the drink for herself but she'd made the choice knowing that it would be Regina's choice and even though she had declined her offer she wanted her to be included. "It sounds delicious, Thank you"
"Your welcome, I thought I'd try something new. I also got us this to share" Emma presented the Lard Lad donut to Emma her eyes wide with excitement. The pink sparkly, iced do-nut was huge, easily the size of Emma's head. Regina really needed to find out how Emma stayed so lean when she ate so much junk.
The trio sat together picking at the donut although Regina had declined a snack she had drank quite a bit of Emma's drink and ate at least a quarter of the do-nut so far, mainly to tease the blonde who was scowling at her after each bite she took. "I thought you didn't want a snack?" Emma asked in a whiney voice.
"You convinced me. You sold it so well I couldn't resist" the grin she wore of her face made Emma's face frown in displeasure.
"Well maybe you should stop now, you don't want to feel sick for the rides" she added with a serious tone.
"I'm fine thanks dear" Regina replied with a big smile before tearing another piece off the now almost completely eaten do-nut.
Henry and Regina laughed together at the sulky face that Emma displayed, clearly sharing food was not something Emma did well.
Emma had offered to share with Regina expecting her to have her usual taste before politely declining anymore. Emma was finding herself getting more and more annoyed as the brunette continued to eat the sugary snack.
When their snacks were finished the family spent the rest of the afternoon going on rides before watching the animal actors show.
After the show Henry immediately asked his mother's if he could have a dog.
Emma's immediate response of "we will think about it" was interrupted by Regina's very stern "No"
Emma offered a smile and added a "We'll see" to a hopeful, grinning Henry. Who was beginning to think this two against one thing may be used to his advantage.
Regina just shook her head in disagreement. "Just to be clear to both of you, we will not be getting a dog" she said looking between the two sets of hopeful eyes.
"But Moooooom, Ma wants one too and we could look after it, you wouldn't have to do anything" Henry tried.
"I'm sure that would be true for about a week when you both got bored and I got left being the responsible adult cleaning up after a filthy mut"
"I'm a responsible adult!" Emma answered in a fake, mock, shocked voice.
"Of course you are dear" Regina mocked bringing her thumb to Emma's lips to wipe away the remaining pink icing.
At the two sets of puppy dog eyes on her Regina decided it was time to change the conversation before she ended up giving in to the equally adorable faces and found herself with a new pet.
After an eventful day and night Emma and Regina sat in the hot tub by the pool while Henry played with his new found friends.
"I can't believe tomorrow is the last day" Emma said sadly.
"Me either. We should head back soon and pack up so we can make the most of our morning"
"We should" Emma said resting her head against Regina's shoulder "But just a few more minutes?"
"A few more minutes" Regina replied placing a kiss to the blonde's forehead.
Regina didn't really want to move either just content to spend a few moments relaxing with the woman she loved in her arms and the sound of their son's laughter in the background.
Regina was soon learning that packing along with sharing food was not one of Emma's strongest points. Regina had spent thirty minutes placing her already folded organised clothes into her laid out suitcases. She'd arranged hers and Henry's hand luggage, checked in online for their flight and organised all of their travel documents. Her clothes for the next day laid out ready for the morning.
She checked on Henry who had packed all his clothes up nicely and was watching television in bed, when she got to Emma's open door she peeked in before covering her mouth with a hand to conceal a giggle.
Emma was sat on the floor a mass of clothes with an half empty suitcase of screwed up clothes next to her as she huffed and puffed while screwing up another item of clothing and shoving it in the case.
"What are you doing?" Regina asked amused and a little stunned at the mess she had walked into.
"Packing!" Emma replied with a flustered face "I hate packing" she added in her whiney voice.
Regina walked into the room before picking up the suitcase and emptying it onto the bed "This is not packing, this is a disaster"
"Hey I resent that" Emma said throwing a wrinkled t shirt at the brunette.
Regina grabbed the shirt and playfully smacked the blonde around the head with it before offered her a hand "Up! "She commanded "I'll help you pack but I'm not doing it for you"
"Yes your majesty" Emma replied submissively before taking Regina's hand and pulling herself up.
She didn't miss the flush on the former Queens face at her choice of words. The blonde decided she could have a little fun before she had to start the boring task. She stepped closer into the brunette's space before whispering in her ear "do you like it when I call you that, your majesty?" before sucking the soft lobe into her mouth.
Regina felt the heat between her legs at the blondes tone and words. Instead of replying verbally she took the blondes wrists and pushed her down on the bed pinning her arms above her head before climbing on top of her and kissing her passionately grinding her hips down to meet the other woman as she kissed her eagerly, forcing her tongue into the younger woman's mouth who returned the kiss desperately while bringing her hands to rest on Regina's hips. For several minutes the women kissed and explored eagerly until they rocked against one another urgently.
Henry's laughter brought both women back to reality with a bump so much so that Regina fell back from the bed landing on her bottom with a thump and a yelp while Emma sat up on the bed to ensure the brunette was ok but just laughed uncontrollably at the randomness of the situation.
"Are you ok?" she asked as she tried to keep her face straight but failing miserably.
"I'm ok, my ass on the other hand is gonna be bruised tomorrow"
Emma got off the bed and offered Regina her hand before pulling her up and into her arms "Don't worry baby I'll kiss it better" Emma asked with suggestive smirk.
Regina was tempted to offer a quirky response but knew it was wise to ignore the blondes comment and get on with their packing before their son came to investigate.
Regina showed Emma how to correctly fold her garments and within half an hour all of Emma's things where packed and ready for the morning.
Regina kissed the blonde one final time before leading her into the living room with a plan to join their son. A snoring Henry greeted his mothers. Both kissed him gently on the head before Emma switched off the television and Regina switched off the lamp, before the two women returned to Regina's bedroom.
Once all the bags where together and their clothes laid out ready for their final morning Emma and Regina climbed into bed.
Regina opened her arms and the eager blonde latched on to her tightly. The brunette stoked the blondes back happily completely content in the precious moment they shared together.
"I'm gonna miss our bed"
"My bed at home is comfier"
Emma smiled unsure how to respond. "I can't wait to find out" she added shyly.
"I'm terrified of going home because I'm scared of what effect Storybrooke will have on our relationship, but I'm also really excited to be with you in our everyday life"
"I know what you mean. I love this, I love how easy and natural this feels and I hope it will be the same when we get home."
"Me too" Regina replied nervously.
"I'm excited to start my life with you" Emma whispered nervously.
"I'm excited to start our life together too"
"I think we should tell my parents as soon as we get home"
"Ok, whatever you think is best" Regina replied, sadness evident in her voice.
"Regina I promise you, whatever happens we will be fine"
"I'm so scared that I only just got you and I'm going to lose you"
"You won't lose me; you're stuck with me now, always"
"I hope so"
"I promise you"
Emma lent up placing a delicate kiss on Regina's lips.
