I hope you enjoy this final short chapter of the story.


It was today. They'd been ready for this day forever and now it was time. It was time to adopt their baby.

Happily, both woman had the broadest smile on their faces possible as they drove to the adoption agency. Emma looked over at her beautiful wife, "you're perfect," the blonde stated, not being able to take her eyes off the other woman. Regina's smile grew wider, "if I wasn't driving right now you'd get the biggest kiss possible."

The car stopped, it was time. Nervously, the woman shared a look, both excited yet both terrified. Henry laughing in his seat broke the couples silence as the fear was replaced by love for their son. "You ready?" Emma asked being answered by nothing except Regina's nod.

Getting Henry out the car, Emma readied herself for what was about to be a massive change in the little family's life. Henry being a fast learner could walk, but he was still only one. He ran to Regina and reached up for her hand, grabbing one of her fingers in his tiny hand.

They walked in, Emma's arm over the brunettes shoulder and Regina's arm across the others back. Instantly met by a very tall woman, the couple felt the nerves build once more. Paperwork had already been filled out months ago so they only had to pick up their soon to be beautiful baby, both woman wanted to see their child as soon as possible.

After some polite conversation with the tall woman, a man walked in from the back carrying a small baby in his arms. Emma and Regina's eyes lit up, they knew this was their baby. Bringing the baby over, the man began to speak, "this is Evie and she's sometimes a little grumpy, but she's kind of cute too." All but Emma laughed at what the man had said, Emma was too busy looking at the little girls bright blue eyes.

Regina was now looking at Evie too, "she's so cute," the blonde whispered, "and beautiful," Regina added. Emma held her first, her daughter instantly grabbing the younger woman's thumb in her hand. Now Emma was crying, she never really got emotional but this was different, she could never hold back emotions when it came to her family.

Passing their daughter to her wife, Emma picked Henry up and brought him closer to Evie. "Look Henry, this is your baby sister." Henry had a huge smile on his face, he put his hand near the baby's and she instantly grabbed it, holding onto some of his fingers. Both woman were on the verge of tears, they never thought they'd be so lucky to not only have each other but to have two beautiful children as well.

Their eyes met, Emma smiling at Regina as a tear fell, "let's go home."

They had everything ready for Evie. Emma carried her in and their daughter began to cry, the blondes smile falling slightly. "Is somebody hungry?" Regina asked in a baby voice that Emma hadn't heard in a while, her smile coming back as Evie laughed at Regina pulling weird faces at her.

Regina went to get a bottle ready for Evie as Emma tried to keep her from crying, she wasn't as good as her wife at this but she tried her best. Excited, Henry came in the room with the bottle in his hand, "mommy said I could help feed Evie." Regina followed a few minutes later to see her wife sat, one arm holding their daughter, the other helping Henry feed her.
