Emma and Hallie had come home from hospital after spending a day there. It had taken about a week but the four of them had fallen into a new routine at the mayor's house. Now it felt like they had all lived together for years. Henry was enjoying having both of his mother's together and he had instantly become a doting big brother.

Emma and Regina was sat up in bed one morning and Hallie was resting against Regina's thighs as she gazed from one mother to the other. Emma's head rested on Regina's shoulder as the two of them cooed down at the little girl.

"See, now is when you're supposed to be awake, Hallie, not at 2am," Emma cooed as she ran her finger over her daughter's nose. "Mummy doesn't like to be woken up by screaming. It makes mummy cranky." Regina let out a chuckle as she gently massaged the bottom of Hallie's feet. "Laugh all you want but if she screams at 2am tonight she's your kid." Emma glanced at her girlfriend out of the corner of her eye. It was weird at first to call Regina her girlfriend but now she couldn't get enough of it.

"That's all good and well but it won't be my boobs that she'll want."

Emma frowned and sat up slightly. "I hadn't thought of that." Regina chuckled again and placed a kiss on her girlfriend's cheek. "Okay, well, in that case then I'll wake you up if she starts screaming."

"Okay, I can deal with that." Regina grinned happily and turned her gaze back to Hallie who yawned sleepily. "Thank you for letting me be a part of your family," the brunette whispered and turned to look at the blonde curled into her side.

Emma tilted her head back and looked into the mayor's eyes. "You are my family, Regina. I've waited my whole life for a family and now I have one." A knock on the bedroom door drew their attention from each other.

"Come in," Regina called. The door opened and Henry walked in with a hand over his eyes.

"Henry," Emma laughed, "What are you doing?"

"I don't want to see something that I can't unsee." Henry grinned and kept his hand over his eyes. It had been weird at first to have Emma in the house he shared with Regina but it hadn't taken long for it to feel completely normal. It was nice to have both his mothers together in the same house and not to move from one house to the other. Both Emma and Regina were much happier together and having a baby sister wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. Some nights he would hear Hallie crying but it was never for long and it seemed that the baby girl had already taken a shine to him.

"Keep your eyes covered then, kid," Emma teased which earned her a small slap on the arm from Regina.

"Emma," Regina scalded. "Henry, it's fine, you can open your eyes. Don't listen to your mother."

"I'm not taking any chances." Henry kept his hand on his face while Regina rolled her eyes. "I'm meeting some friends for breakfast at Granny's before school. Can I borrow some money, please?"

"Sure, kid, take some from my purse. Don't be late for school," the blonde warned.

"I won't. Thanks. See you later. Bye, Hallie," Henry called before he pulled the door closed and bounded down the stairs.

"We get a 'see you later,' Hallie gets a 'bye' when did that happen?" Regina frowned as she realised just how grown up their son was becoming.

Emma laughed and pecked the brunette's cheek. "He's a teenager. At least we got a see you later. I think at that age I used to grunt and slam doors."

"Oh yay," Regina mocked. "I can't wait for your children to start acting like you."

"Hmm, well, I'm sure they'll pick up some of your traits too, don't worry. It seems little miss has worn herself out already. Great, I could do with a morning nap." Emma gave a yawn and stretched her body out. Regina shook her head and carefully stood up with Hallie in her arms. She lay the sleeping baby down in her moses basket before she crawled back into bed. Regina wrapped her arms around Emma and pulled her close as they both snuggled back down to sleep.

"I love you, Gina," Emma whispered as she felt sleep overtaking her body. This was exactly where she wanted to be, in Regina's arms.

"I love you too, Emma." Regina smiled softly and tightened her grip, never letting go.

A/N: It's the final chapter. Are you sad? I am. I've really enjoyed writing this story and it was perfect to get me back into writing after many years off! I'm glad that you have all enjoyed reading. So, what are your final thoughts on this little family? Review for one last time!

I already have another story in the pipeline so hopefully life won't get in the way too much and my muse cooperates and there should be a new one posted soonish!
