Epilogue

Snow was pissed. Or at least she was when she found out that her only daughter had gone and got married to Regina without so much of a phone call. She even refused to talk to Emma for a week. Well tried at least..she cracked more or less after a day and a half. But now, now as she strolled along behind with her husband, watching the two women walk down main street and lifting Henry in the air as he was swung up high, clinging to both their hands with a giggle, smiles on their faces, the short haired woman knew that her daughter had made the right choice. Maybe not with how she got married but definately who she got married to.

Having paused in the doorway to Granny's, the couple look over and watch as Snow and David take hold of Henry before entering the establishment. Grinning over at her wife, Emma places both her hands onto the brunette's protruding belly, giving it a small rub. "How is my wife and baby girl doing?"

Smiling at the question, Regina places her hand on top of her wife's and kisses the woman's cheek in thanks for the concern. "We are doing great, ready to go into our shower?"

The sheriff frowns. "I am still trying to get my head around that..I mean a shower is like for the mother or mothers..and it is female orientated..not presented at the local diner with the whole town?"

Chuckling, the mayor nods in agreement. "Come on dear you know what this town is like, besides this way it is less boring and more of a party with more presents"

Seeing the brunette's eyes light up at mentioning the word presents, Emma looks in awe and kisses her quick. "You're adorable pregnant you know that?"

Replying with a contented 'hmm', the mayor then pouts overthinking it due to her hormones. "Hold on..are saying I'm only adorable when pregnant? That I wasn't adorable before?"

"Babe you're adorable all the time!" Covering her tracks, the blonde pecks her lips again then takes hold of her wife's hand as she pushes the diner door open for them to enter.

"Look at the cake mama!" Henry pulls on Regina's hand in the direction of the pink bow shaped cake on the table. Having been in conversation with Granny, the pair laugh at the boy's eagerness then the brunette apologizes to the older woman before following Henry to the table to look at the cake. The mayor glances down at her son then ruffles his hair before leaning down to his ear. "Take some, go on"

Crinking his nose as he doesn't have a plate or anything to help him get cake, the boy bites his lip while holding his hands out. "How mama? No plate and I'm too small for a knife"

Letting out a chuckle on his actions and words, Regina kisses his cheek before whispering. "Like this.." Checking around them first, the brunette then smiles playfully as she scoops her finger through the icing and eats it.

Gasping, Henry covers his mouth with both hands giggling then looks up at his mama to see her gesturing towards the cake. "I'll be on watch.."

Copying the mayor's action, the small boy scoops some icing then eats it before turning around and standing straight beside his mother as if nothing happened.

"Did you really think no one would have seen that dear? Hardly subtle"

Glancing across to her mother, Regina shrugs with a smile. "It's my cake anyway.."

Shaking her head with a smile, Cora puts an arm around her daughter and rubs her back. "This baby has turned you into a rebellious teenager.."

Laughing, the brunette leans in slightly. "Henry wanted cake, I just helped him that is all"

Looking between them, Henry nods seriously. "Mama wanted some too"

"There is my little man. Straight to the point.." The older brunette holds her hand out to the boy then hugs him when he toddles over to her.

"Lying bad Grandma"

"Yes it is Henry..tell your mother that.." Giving her daughter a teasing smile, Cora releases the boy and ruffles his hair as he wonders off.

"How comes you haven't had a go at me yet for getting married without inviting you?" Regina now turns to her mother once Henry has gone.

"It was up to you who you wanted there or how you did it..compared to last time I respect that" the older brunette looks slightly guilty. "I could see why Snow reacted that way though..never having seen her daughter grow up, it was her first marriage..and this is Snow we are talking about"

"True and last marriage mother..this is it for both of us.."

"Of course it is..I think everyone can see that otherwise they wouldn't be here to join in the celebrations of your shower, not to mention that table full of gifts" remembering, Cora pulls out an envelope. "I just remembered, this was left for you at the mansion..looks important"

Taking hold of the envelope, the brunette frowns and reads her name wrote across the front. "What..it..it's from Emma.."

"Better read it. It's a good job she is here otherwise you could have taken it as a leaving note..."

Glaring, Regina huffs. "Not funny mother"

"Why don't you go and sit down, rest your feet and read whatever it is that Emma has to say?" Cora suggests then guides her daughter to an empty booth. Leaving her to it, the older brunette walks off and catches Emma's stare on the way with a nod.

Glancing around briefly, Regina pulls out the letter which appeared to have two items attached and begins to read.

'To my Beautiful Wife,

Where shall I start? Considering I am no good with these things, bare with me! First of I would like to thank you, thank you for loving me and helping me become a person and wife you can be truly proud of. I always knew since we started our secret relationship that this is where we would get to. A family. However if someone had said that to me before, I would never had believed I would have the chance of a family, with my parents or with anyone. Then, you came along and gave me that small piece of hope I had been looking for and you gave me one of the most important things in my life. You brought my son back to me and you loved him as your own, not a lot of people would do that you know? Take on someone else's kid but to me it just proved how much you must love me and how much you want this to work, just like I do. I would pretty much say right now, you are the glue and without you, our family would be none exsistant. Now I know we have done the order of things a little non traditional with it being kid, marriage, kid but that is just the way we are. I also realized recently (not just from the constant nagging of my mother) that the way we got married was great for us as a family but it never gave us, gave me, the chance to show everyone how much I love you and how much I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are my happy beginning, middle and end, and I hope you are free for this date...

Emma x'

Staring at the letter in awe, Regina swallows a lump as her emotions are threatening to take over before turning over to the next item. A small card with fancy writing. Reading it out to herself, the brunette's eyes widen. "I hereby invite you to the wedding of..." Getting teary, the brunette lets out a small chuckle noticing the date being the same as when they married on their own but a year from now, then goes to the last page, reading out a list of already paid items for their wedding. "Oh.." Covering her mouth, Regina recognises everything on the list right from the venue to the dress as the ones she always dreamed of having even before her first marriage and that she had kept in a private book. Looking up to find the blonde, the brunette smiles still seeing Emma at the counter watching her closely.

Making her way over warily, the sheriff stops besides her wife and looks down at her a little shy. "So..."

Pulling the blonde down to sit beside her, Regina places the letters down and kisses her while cupping the woman's face. "Yes...again"

Grinning, Emma looks at the page that the brunette was looking at. "Everything on here is brought and paid for so thank you for you you know..not saying no because that would be awkward.."

"How did you do all this?" Taking hold of her wife's arm, Regina cuddles into her side.

"Actually your mother may have stolen this book you had? She helped and also sorted out the dress so I don't see it and even brought a minature version for this little lady..." Placing her hand again on the brunette's bump gaining a kick, the pair smile. Looking up to see both mothers sit opposite with impatient faces, the couple continue to smile.

"Does this mean we have a wedding to save a date for? Or are you two grinning like idiots because...you're idiots?" Cora questions with a raised eyebrow as Snow laughs.

Resting her hand on top of Emma's on her bump, Regina rolls her eyes then nods. "Save the date"

Snow jumps up and hugs her daughter, bringing the brunette into it then grins. "I have to go tell David!"

Watching her go off excitedly, Emma spots Henry walk up to them with white and pink cream all around his mouth. Lifting him up onto her lap, the blonde frowns. "What have you been eating bud?"

Henry points at the table. "Cake!"

Following his direction, the blonde drops her mouth open to see the cake covered in fingerprints. "Henry!"

"Mama started it!" Pulling a whiny face, the small boy points to the brunette who looks guilty.

"He is telling the truth Emma..my grandson doesn't lie" Cora speaks up on his behalf then smiles as Henry nods.

"Team up against the pregnant woman why don't you?" Regina pouts and sits back on her seat.

Holding her hands up defensively, the older brunette then stands. "Henry dear lets go finish the cake..and maybe just maybe we can bring some over for your mothers"

Henry slides down from Emma's lap and walks off with Cora, holding her hand. Watching, the blonde then wraps her arm around her wife as the woman lets out a long sigh, then kisses her head as she trails her fingers through Regina's dark locks. Both feeling happy at the prospect of what is to come.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Soon enough they welcomed their daughter into the world who turned out to be a complete mini me of Regina and spent the next year enjoying being parents to both their children until once again their special day came. For Regina, this was a dream come true. She had everything she ever wanted for her wedding but most importantly, she had someone who loved her and cared for her. She finally found her home. Just like Emma had with her and like Henry had with them.

A/N: That's that then :( thanks for all your responses!
