Chapter Fourteen
You are cordially invited to
The Royal Wedding of:
Mayor Regina Mills
to
Quinn Fabray
on the 14th of May in the year of 2016.
Where: Storybrooke's city line.
When: 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Reception to follow at "Argh's Seafood".
Regina paced back and forth in the foyer of their home.
"Where are they?"
"Mom, don't worry, they'll be here soon," Henry reassured his Mom. It was the day before their wedding and Regina had a little surprise in store for Quinn.
She had sent a wedding invitation as well as an invitation to stay in their home not only to Judy, but to Santana and Brittany as well.
Flashback:
"Baby," Regina asks.
"Yes, my love," Quinn replies after she sighs heavily.
"Do you miss Santana and Brittany?"
"A little bit…Summer's coming and we'd spend it together."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Regina says.
"It's not your fault. It was the best time for the three of us. Just thinking…"
"The 'Unholy Trinity', huh?"
Quinn nods her head in agreement and smiles devilishly.
"Hmm," Regina says and kisses Quinn's cheek. "I just remember I have a town newsletter to get out. I'll be in my study."
"Okay, maybe I'll take Henry out for dinner…" Quinn says as she runs up the stairs to his room. Henry is listening because he sprints out of his room in a heartbeat.
"Wait for me," Quinn yells as he whips right past her.
In the few minutes after they left, Regina walks to her study and closes the door. Immediately she dials Quinn's Mom.
On the first ring, Judy says, "Hello?"
"Hi, Mom," Regina says with a smile.
"Hey, Regina. What's up," Judy says.
"I need a favor."
"Anything for you," Judy replies.
"Can you get me Santana and Brittany's address? I want to send them a wedding invitation," Regina asks pleasantly.
"Give me a day, okay? I'll call Santana's Mom," Judy says.
True to her word, the day after Judy sends Regina the address via e-mail.
Flashback Ends.
Just then the car horn honked.
"Bout time," Regina said as she flung the door open. She saw Judy first and quickly walked to hug her as she said, "Hi, Mom!"
"Hello, Regina. Is she home yet," Judy asked.
"Nope you're right on time," Regina said as she let go her.
Santana and Brittany exited the car and gawked at the mansion that stood before them.
"Hello, Santana," Regina said guardedly and extended her hand.
"Hello, Madame Mayor," Santana said as she shook Regina's hand, "This is my better half, Brittany."
Brittany genuflected in front of Regina who just laughed. "Please call Regina…Come in quickly. She'll be home any minute."
They all ran into the house. "This is my son, Henry," Regina said as they walked up to Henry.
"Santana," his Mom pointed. "And Brittany." She pointed at Brittany who waved.
"Hey, guys! Grandma," Henry said as he ran to Judy.
"Hey, Henry," Judy said and hugged him tightly.
Flashback:
It is Thanksgiving Day and the new family is sharing a feast that is unimaginable. This year, Henry insisted that Judy join them and also Emma and his grandparents.
"Sure, Henry," Regina says with a smile.
"Can we call her, Quinn," he said impatiently.
"Sure, kiddo, but you ask since it's your brilliant idea," Quinn dials her mother's number and hands the phone to Henry before there's an answer.
"Hello," Judy greets.
"Hi, Judy. It's Henry…uh, Mills…"
"I only know one Henry…How can I help you," Judy says with a laughs.
"I am calling to invite you to Thanksgiving here, in Storybrooke. It'll be us, my other Mom and my grandparents," Henry says nervously.
"I graciously accept…on one condition."
"Oh, okay, what's that?"
"You call me 'Grandma'?"
Quinn is shocked and so is Regina. They are listening to the conversation.
"Mom," Quinn interrupts their conversation.
"Oh, hi Quinn…and I assume, hi Regina," Judy says and waits for confirmation of a "Hi, Mom," from Regina.
"Mom, are you sure?"
"Yes, Judy, I'm sure Henry's fine with calling you, 'Judy'…"
"Are we going to be a family or not?"
"Yes, Mom we are," Quinn says happily.
"Then I want Henry to call me 'Grandma'…Can you handle that, young man," Judy says to Henry.
"Yes, Grandma, I can. Thank you," Henry says with a smile in his voice.
Flashback Ends.
"Thanks for the ride, Emma," they heard Quinn yell from outside, "See you tomorrow. Thanks for your help."
Flashback:
As Quinn and Regina were planning the wedding Quinn had a thought.
"Hey, Regina," Quinn starts the conversation.
"Yes," Regina replies as she looks up from the paper she is writing on.
"Would you have any objections of me asking Emma to be a part of the wedding? I thought that maybe she could stand behind me or something…"
Regina sits back in her chair and scratches her head. "I think that's an awesome idea. She did save you from that black hole," Regina said with a warm smile.
"Cool!"
The nest morning, at work, Quinn timidly walks up to Emma's desk and asks, "Emma…got a minute?"
"Sure…"
Quinn sits in the empty chair next to Emma's desk. "So I have a favor to ask of you," Quinn begins the conversation.
Emma sits back in her chair and says, "Yes…"
"Would you please stand behind me at my wedding to Regina," Quinn says hopeful.
"Absolutely, I'd be honored," Emma says happily.
Flashback Ends.
"Quick, quick, you two go hide," Regina instructed as Santana and Brittany ran upstairs and into Quinn and Regina's room.
Quinn unlocked the door and pushed it opened.
"Mom," she exclaimed as she saw her mother standing there. They ran into each other's arms.
"Hey, Sweetheart," Judy said.
"Hey, my love," Quinn said to Regina as she was still in the hug.
"Hey, Baby," Regina replied, "Why don't you go upstairs and change. We'll be in the kitchen."
Quinn nodded her head and ran up the stairs. As she walked around the corner, she yelled, "Oh my God, Santana…Brittany!"
"Hey, Fabray," Santana said with a smirk.
"Hey, Quinnie," Brittany said with a huge smile.
As they embraced each other in a group hug, Quinn said, "Thank you for coming!"
"We wouldn't have missed this," Santana said sincerely.
Quinn wiggled out of the hug and bolted down the stairs followed by her friends.
"Regina," Quinn happily yelled.
"Yeah?"
"I love you so much," Quinn said as she wrapped her arms around her fiancée.
Regina hugged Quinn. "You surprised?"
"Beyond. Mom helped?"
Regina just nodded her head.
"They're staying here," Regina said happily.
Quinn hugged her tighter. A thought came to her as she saw Henry behind his mother. "What about Henry?"
"Don't worry, Q. I'll sleep in a sleeping bag in Mom's study. It's cool!"
She let of Regina to hug Henry tightly. "Oh," Henry said surprised, "I had a question for you."
"What's that," Quinn asked as she continued to hug him.
"Can I call you 'Mom'?"
Quinn froze. "Um…if it's okay with your mother," Quinn said as she glanced at Regina who smiled from ear to ear.
"Well, my boy. It's official. You now have three Moms," Regina said happily.
Henry simply said, "Cool!"
That night, while Regina and Quinn were cuddling in bed, Quinn asked, "Are you happy?"
"Baby, I am so happy. Why'd you ask?"
"Cuz you make me happy everyday. I just wanted to make sure."
"We're getting married tomorrow, Quinn," Regina said excitedly as she tightened her grip on Quinn. "It's actually happening!"
"I know, my love. I love you so much," Quinn said as wiggled out of the embrace and flipped over to look at Regina.
"I love you so much, too," Regina said passionately.
"Thank you, for, um, creating the curse!"
Regina looked at Quinn with a shocked expression on her face. "Wow! No one's ever thanked me for that."
"If it wasn't for that we'd never have met," Quinn said.
"And Santana," Regina reminded.
"Yes, and Santana," Quinn said and laughed loudly.
"YOU'RE WELCOME!" Santana yelled from the next room.
Regina and Quinn burst out in laughter.
Eventually they fell asleep. Each woman dreamt about the other as they continued to hold each other.
The next morning, Quinn vaguely heard a creaking of the door, but she wasn't about to open her eyes.
"Quinn…" Judy whispered.
Quinn groaned something incoherent.
"Quinn," Judy's voice became louder.
"Um, Baby, you're mother's calling you," Regina mumbled against her pillow.
Quinn made an inhuman noise and rubbed her eyes sleepily. She squinted her eyes and asked, "Um, yes?"
"Get up," her mother said.
"Eh, Juds, that's not how we get our Quinnie up from her beauty sleep," Santana said as she and Brittany strolled into the room. Santana carried a big glass of water.
Regina was sitting up slowly. She saw the glass and only put her hand over her mouth.
"Lopez, if you're holding what I think you're holding, I'm going to kick your butt," Quinn said.
Santana walked up to the bed and tilted the cup forward. A drop of water hit Quinn on her forehead.
"You're a bitch, do you know that?"
Santana grinned mischievously. She tilted the cup again and again another drop fell onto Quinn.
"You're just gonna sit there in bed, aren't you," Quinn looked at Regina for help. Regina just nodded her head in confirmation with a smile.
Quinn quickly sat up and grabbed the glass away from Santana.
"Wow, Lopez, you're too slow…Brittany, I thought you'd break her of that habit," Quinn mocked with a smile on her face.
"What? Santana what about two nights ago," Brittany insinuated.
"Not now, B…"
Quinn just chuckled since she's known the pair for so long.
"What does," Regina tried to asked.
"Don't worry about it, my love, not important," Quinn said as she looked at her lovingly.
Regina scratched her head and nodded.
"Anyway, are you ready to get married," Judy asked excitedly. She grabbed her daughter's hand and yanked her out of bed without waiting for an answer. Santana, Brittany, and Judy pulled her out of the room. Quinn turned her head and blew Regina a kiss who mouthed, "I love you!" to Quinn.
"Oh, okay," Regina said as she witnessed the action.
"Where's my Best Man," Regina asked no one because there was no one else in the room.
"You rang," Henry said as he walked into the room. He held a cup of coffee in his hands.
"Oh, you're the best," Regina said as she wrapped her two hands around the steaming mug.
"I know…okay, what do you want to do first? Hair? Makeup? Nails?"
"Henry, calm down. First I'd like to sit here and drink the coffee and prepare myself."
"Oh," Henry said and quietly sat down next to his mother. He anxiously fiddled with his fingers as Regina sat back and drank her coffee.
"Henry," Regina yelled to get his attention. "You're more nervous than I am." Regina said as she laughed.
He half smiled. They sat there in silence until Regina spoke, "Henry…I uh, I just want to say thank you for being there for me throughout the years."
Henry smiled brightly at his mother before he said, "Aww, Mom…she's here!"
"Who's here," Regina asked as she looked to the door.
"Your happy ending…Quinn, she here's. I am so happy for you," Henry said with another smile.
Regina blushed and ducked her head down. "I love you, Henry," she said proudly.
"I love you too. Okay finish your coffee. I'm gonna go get my suit out," Henry said as he walked out of the room. "Yell if you need me."
After he left, Regina sat back and thought.
I'm the luckiest woman alive. The love of both of my lives, is in the other room with her mother and best friends getting ready to marry me…
The urge to see Quinn overtook her. She placed the mug down on the nightstand and rose from the bed. She quickly walked from the room into the hallway. Once she got to the doorway of the guest room, she paused and leaned against the frame. She rested her head against it. Because of the commotion in the room, she went unnoticed for a few seconds.
"Mills…what are you doing?" Santana finally noticed her.
"I'm admiring my beautiful fiancée," Regina shot back with a huge smile on her face, "Got a problem with that?"
"No ma'am," Santana said as she raised her hands up in the air.
"Hey, my love," Quinn looked at Regina with a warm smile. Regina's eyesight focused on her. She silently strode up to Quinn and hugged her tightly. She hugged Quinn like she was going to disappear on her.
"Wow," Quinn said as she wrapped her arms around Regina. They stood there in silence after that. It was a few minutes before Regina whispered, "Thank you for marrying me!" She was about to let go when she felt Quinn's grip tighten on her frame.
"It is a privilege of a lifetime," Quinn whispered back and kissed her cheek. Then Regina turned and walked out of the room. At the door she looked one final time at Quinn and began to tear up.
Henry walked up to her and said, "She's beautiful, Mom."
Regina faced Henry shocked. "Henry, don't do that. You scared the crap outta me."
"Sorry. C'mon…" Henry said as he grabbed his Mom's hand and led her away from the room.
Flashback:
"Hey, Baby," Regina asks Quinn who is reading a wedding article.
"Where do you want to get married?"
Quinn places the magazine down next to her and turns her body to look at Regina. She sees pure, endless love in her eyes.
"Well," Quinn starts and sees that Regina's hanging on her every word.
"How'd you feel about an outside wedding?"
"Sure, where?"
"Well, I have one word for you…"
"And that word would be?"
"Bolt!"
Regina sits back against the couch and ponders the meaning of the word. Suddenly her smile widens. "You want to get married at the city line?"
Quinn smiles brightly too. "Yup, is that weird?"
"No, no, not all. Okay, that's settled," Regina said with a grin. Quinn quickly moves to straddle Regina's lap. With her hands on Regina's shoulders, Quinn dips her head down and captures Regina's lips in fierce kiss.
Flashback Ends.
