It was Friday. Friday meant family night. The family included the following people.
1. Emma
2. Henry
3. Regina
4. Snow
5. David
6. Neal (Her brother)
That's it. 6 people. 6 people Emma loved. She had gotten used to family night, loved it even. But she wasn't prepared for what happened this particular family night. Emma laid down on her parents couch. Her son and her little brother looked at her angrily from their comfy spots on the hardware floor. She chuckled at them. Oh how she loved being a mother to a son, and a big sister to a little brother. The doorbell to the apartment rung and Emma watched as her mother happily ran to the door to answer it.
"Oh Hello Regina, hello Robin" She heard her mother say.
Emma jumped up from the couch and before she could even think about what to say the works fell out of her mouth. "What's he doing here?" Emma asked angrily while crossing her arms. Regina gave Emma a confused look but stopped when she felt tiny arms wrapping around her waist. "Hi Gina" Her little brother greets.
"Oh, Emma, I invited him" Snow happily states. She takes Robin's coat and hangs it on the coat rack.
"Really, why?" Emma asks glaring at Robin.
Snow gives Emma a scolding look. "Because, he and Regina has been dating some time now, and hes practically family. I invited him and Roland to join us"
Emma briefly wondered where Roland was. Briefly. "Gee...how nice of you Mom" Emma says dryly.
Robin's looking around awkwardly, wondering what's going on.
"Don't worry, she invited me to love" Emma hears Hook's voice from behind the couple that still stands in the door way.
"Oh, it's a party now" Emma says dryly.
Charming walks in. He gives Hook a funny look. 'Good' Emma thinks. It was no secret her father hated Hook. That's why he was her favorite, and not her mother. Hook walked over to Emma and placed his arm around her waist and David cleared his throat walking in between them causing them to separate. "Why don't we all get started on Family night, huh?" Charming asks.
They started with games first.
"I want Regina, Neal, Dad, and Henry on my team" Emma states as she jumps in the seat next to Regina before Robin gets the chance. He quickly jumps up almost sitting on her.
"Emma, how is that fair?" Snow asks. "5 against 3"
Emma rolled her eyes. "Fine mom, you can be on our team too"
"But-" Snow starts
"Mom, everyone is okay with these arrangements aren't you?" Emma looks around the table.
"Actually" Robin states smiling lovingly into Regina's eyes. "I want to be on Regina's team" Emma looks at Regina who is shyly smiling back.
"No" Emma quickly states. "Regina's mine" Emma without thinking reaches for Regina's hand and holds it.
It takes Emma a moment to recognize that everyone is giving her a weird look. Except Regina, Regina's gazing at her curiously. Trying to understand what's wrong with Emma.
"I um...I mean" Emma looks around at everyone. "Regina's on my team" Emma corrects not letting go of Regina's hand. Emma groans. This is going to be a long night. And she has work to do, she's not going to let Robin anywhere near Regina tonight. Emma glares at him from across the table. "Game on" She mutters.
