Well, here you have it, the final chapter of this story. It's been an interesting road. This is the longest thing I've ever written and the only chapter story I've ever finished.

Thank you for all the wonderful reviews and all the follows, I appreciate the wonderful support on this fic.

Since this is the last chapter and all and I won't have to worry about updates for a while, let's play a little game. There'a quote in here from my favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley flick. Find it, tell me the movie it's from and I'll write a one-shot about whatever you want. Either review or PM or send me a message on tumblr (latherrinsemaim) if you know!

Enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own it. If I did there would be more Swan Queen kisses and less clothing.

I hear every word that you say
taking it in like an old fairy tale
Through for better or worse and the promise of verse
you make it seem real, like its all here to stay
But see how the wind it blows, all the birds scatter
and I'm out here alone
You say I know your favorite song and I'll sing you back home

And then you will see that I love you
you'll rest with me all our nights
You say I know a place where your heart can be safe
and you've said your last goodbye

Last Goodbye-The Wailin' Jennys

Regina smiled sadly as she placed flowers at her family mausoleum. It seemed like another lifetime when she'd been a part of that family. Her mother had been dead for a year and her father had been gone for thirty. They hadn't been the best parents, that was certain, but they were still her mother and father and sometimes Regina missed them. Especially today.

It was ironic that her mother had always wanted her to marry a king and Regina had fallen in love with a princess. But Emma Swan was so far from what her mother had imagined for her. Emma couldn't give her power or status, all Emma could give her was a closet full of skintight jeans and leather jackets and all the love she could ever hope to find.

Regina heard footsteps and knew it could only be one person. She turned and saw a mess of blonde hair and a small smile.

"When I woke up and you were gone I figured you'd come out here," Emma said.

She held out a cup of coffee from Granny's. It was spring, but there was still a chill in the air. It didn't matter much to Regina, the chilly months had always been her favorite, but with an active 12 year old boy and a fun loving blonde at home, she'd grown to love the warmer months as well.

Regina accepted the coffee and took a sip. The warm liquid burned down her throat and caused her to shiver a bit. Emma stepped forward and wrapped a red leather clad arm around the brunette's shoulders.

"We should head back soon, I'm sure my mom will be over to start prepping us," Emma smiled.

"Indeed, we wouldn't want a bridezilla moment on our hands," Regina smirked.

"It's funny because I kind of figured you would be the bridezilla, not my mom," Emma laughed.

"You thought I'd act that way," Regina asked.

"Well, you're kind of…uptight and particular, you know," Emma said.

"Keep making remarks like that and there may not even be a wedding," Regina threatened.

"I didn't mean it in a bad way, one of has to be organized or Henry would never get anywhere on time and I'd lose all his important papers," Emma said quickly.

"I know dear, now let's get back to the house," Regina smiled.

Emma took her hand and they headed across the grass. As they reached the edge of the cemetery Regina spared one last glance at the tomb that held the remains of her former life. She turned back toward Emma and smiled at the thought of her new life.

"Mom, seriously, that's enough flowers, Regina probably wants to marry me, not a fucking bouquet of daisies," Emma's voice carried into the hall.

"They're not daisies, and you look beautiful," Mary Margaret scolded her daughter.

Regina couldn't help but smile. She'd opted to do her own hair without the other brunette's help. Emma, lacking the skill to do her own hair hadn't been so lucky.

"Just finish up so I can go get some food, I'm starved," Emma whined.

Regina had only made a simple fruit salad for breakfast after they'd returned from the cemetery and there had been small sandwiches at lunch. No doubt Emma's stomach was grumbling for some food given her usually large meals. Regina decided to head down to the kitchen and fix the blonde something that would fill her up and still allow her to fit into her dress properly.

When Regina arrived she found a small flurry of activity in her kitchen. Ruby and Granny had been hired to provide food for the reception and they were busy prepping in the kitchen. Ruby was the first to notice Regina's appearance.

"Oh my god, you look gorgeous!"

Regina smiled, she'd hoped the large curls she'd done would look good and Ruby's approval helped her feel a bit more secure. Ruby's own signature brunette locks with red streaks had been pulled up into a ponytail with a braid around the side of her head. She was Emma's maid of honor.

"Thank you dear," Regina smiled.

"The food is about as ready as it's going to get, we'll finish everything up as soon as the ceremony ends," Granny announced, "Can I get you anything?"

"I think I have a fruit parfait in the fridge, but Emma may want something a bit more substantial, I heard her whining about being hungry on my way down."

"I was not whining," Emma protested, appearing in the kitchen.

"Yes you were," Mary Margaret argued.

"Em, your hair looks gorgeous," Ruby cried.

Mary Margaret had wound Emma's hair into a neat fishtail braid with some white flowers threaded through her hair. They were the same flowers that would be in Regina's bouquet.

"Thanks Ruby, yours looks great too," Emma smiled.

As the women stood in the kitchen Emma's stomach rumbled loudly, reminding everyone why she was there.

"You four go sit and I'll get your meals, I fixed you up something while I was getting the reception food ready," Granny said.

They thanked the older woman and headed for the dining room table. Granny quickly appeared with Regina's fruit and sandwiches for the other three women. Emma smiled happily as she munched on her food.

As soon as the snacks were finished Regina and Emma were ushered upstairs to finish their make up and get their clothes on. Emma only grumbled mildly about it. While Mary Margaret and Ruby helped Emma, Regina waited for her bridesmaids to appear. She'd insisted on doing her own hair and make up so they hadn't arrived yet.

After putting the finishing touches on her light and natural make up, Regina headed to her closet to grab her dress. The closet that had once been home to many suits and expensive skirts had changed a bit over the last years. There was now far more denim that it had ever seen, as well as a few grungy white tank tops that Regina was often tempted to toss in the garbage if not for the fact she'd have to suffer through Emma's whining for weeks about how they'd been her favorite shirt and what was she supposed to wear now?

Regina pulled out her dress and laid it on the bed. It wasn't a traditional wedding dress. They'd opted out of the traditional ceremony given Regina's first marriage was rife with tradition and elaborate gowns. Her dress was shorter, it fell to her knees and it was lighter and more airy. The scoop neck was adorned with golden and bronze beads.

Regina quickly pulled off the comfortable clothes she'd been wearing and picked up her strapless bra. She quickly hooked it in place and slid on her dress, careful not to mess up her hair and make up. She adjusted the lining to make sure it was flawless before turning to the full length mirror to admire her handiwork.

The door to her bedroom swung open and shut just as quickly. Emma stood, leaning against the door in a white strapless dress with black lace around the bodice. Her dress was fitted at the top with a flowing white skirt that fell to her knees as well.

"You look amazing," Emma smiled.

"You're not supposed to see me before the ceremony," Regina said, smiling back, "If your mother finds you in here she'll have a fit."

"Well then, I guess I'll just have to be sneaky," Emma said, pushing away from the door.

She quickly made her way across the room to wrap her arms around Regina's waist. She leaned in for a kiss but was quickly stopped.

"You'll mess up our make up," Regina said.

"So, we'll fix it," Emma protested.

"Dear, you'll get to kiss me in a bit, and then as much as you want later tonight," Regina said seductively.

"I know, but I'm impatient," Emma whine.

Luckily for Regina's makeup and hair, she was interrupted by a knock on the door. Regina called for the person to enter and was greeted by the sight of Belle and Kathryn in purple bridesmaids dresses. All the bridesmaids had been dressed in similar but not exactly the same dress. Belle and Kathryn's were the same purple color, but while Kathryn's had traditional tank top style straps, Belle's only had one shoulder strap. The one Ruby was to wear was a blue strapless dress and Henry would be wearing a suit with a blue vest to match.

"Aww, you both look beautiful," Belle cooed and Kathryn quickly agreed.

Ruby appeared in the doorway as well, "Em, you mom is looking for you, we're going to head out, let's get this show on the road."

Emma let her hands fall from Regina's waist into the brunette's hands. After giving them a quick squeeze, Emma disappeared with Ruby. Regina, Belle and Kathryn quickly put the final touches on their make up and headed downstairs.

Regina and Emma had decided to hold the wedding in their back yard. It had seemed like the most practical place and it held many memories for the couple. They had spent many nights talking and learning about each other under the stars in that very back yard.

All too soon music started playing and Regina was watching Henry escort Kathryn up the aisle, followed by Ruby and Belle. Emma and Regina had decided against tradition for their walk up the aisle as well. Since Regina had no father to escort her down the aisle, they'd decided to walk up together.

Given Regina's general disdain for the Blue Fairy, it had seemed best to get a neutral party to officiate the wedding so the couple had chosen Archie. Regina had put aside her anger and started seeing the cricket again. Over the past year she'd even grown fond of the bug.

"We are gathered here today to witness the joining of Regina and Emma. To some of us, this union was the last thing we expected, and to others, it was just a matter of time. As someone who knows both these strong ladies well, I think it's a perfect match, well, as perfect as anything in this world can be anyway. Regina and Emma have chosen to share their own vows with each other, so I'll turn things over to Emma," Archie said.

Regina watched as Emma nervously pulled a folded piece of paper out of her top. Leave it to Emma to be digging around in her bra during her own wedding. Regina smiled, she wouldn't have the blonde any other way.

"The first time I met you was a less than ideal circumstance. To say we hated each other may be putting it mildly. But I suppose hate was never the right word. Even when you drove me crazy I respected you. I saw how hard you worked as mayor and as a mother to our son. You gave him so many things, things I know I never could have. You loved him and treated him well, and I'll always be grateful for that. We didn't have an easy start, but they say the things worth having are never easy and I guess that means you're definitely worth it, because it was definitely never easy," Emma smiled," I guess what I'm trying to say is that, even though things were hard, and they probably still will be sometimes, I know we can get through it, together. If we could get through the last couple years in tact, we can get through anything, because when I look at you I know it's that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, World Series kind of love. The kind of love that will last a lifetime."

Tears shone in both women's eyes as Emma refolded the paper and gazed at Regina. Archie turned toward Regina and asked her to share her vows.

"When I was young I believed in true love. I thought it was the most powerful thing in the world. I lost that belief for a long time and once it was gone, I never thought I'd feel that way again. But things started to change the day our son entered my life. You gave me the most precious gift, and I cherished him. And then one day, ten years later, you burst into our lives and turned everything upside down. I should have hated you, but now that I think about it, our lives all needed turning upside down. You saved my life and gave me back that hope that true love exists and that maybe it's all we need sometimes. I'm not that naive little girl anymore and I know things are never easy, but I know now that love is always worth it."

There were no more dry eyes in the yard by the time Regina finished speaking. Even Henry, who was doing his best to be manly had tears running down his cheeks.

"Now, the rings, if you will," Archie said.

Kathryn and Ruby each produced the rings they were holding for the women. Archie turned to Emma.

"Please, repeat after me, I, Emma, take you, Regina, to be my wife, to have and to hold in sickness and in health, through bad and good, to love and respect, and cherish," Archie read.

Emma repeated the words, only stumbling a bit. She held up the ring and Regina held out her hand. Emma slid the silver band onto her finger.

"With this ring, I thee wed."

Regina repeated the same words, never stumbling once, and held up her ring as well. She slid the silver band onto a pale finger.

"With this ring, I thee wed."

"By the power vested in me by the town of Storybrooke and powers that be, I now pronounce you married, you may kiss the bride," Archie finished.

Emma slid her hand into Regina and twined their fingers together, reveling in the feeling of the cool metal band against her skin. Her other hand found Regina's waist and held her tight. Their lips met and sparks flew. As Emma pulled back, she saw the literal sparks flying around them, a happy combination of their magic, seemingly approving of the match.

With their hands still linked they headed back down the aisle to rest for a moment was the backyard was transformed for the reception. The wedding party joined them in the den where they were waiting, Belle and Ruby happily holding hands while Henry's smile lit up the room.

"It was beautiful," Kathryn smiled.

"You looked pretty mom," Henry said to Regina.

Regina smiled at her son. When he'd shown up with Emma Swan two years ago, Regina was sure she'd lost him. Of course she'd fought tooth and nail to keep him, but all the while she'd felt it was in vain. Henry had found his real mother. Never in her wildest dreams had Regina imagined Henry had also found the woman she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

Emma scoffed at the comment, "What am I? Chopped liver?"

"You look really pretty too, ma," Henry said, poking Emma's side.

"Damn right I do," Emma said, gesturing to her dress.

"I must say, it's definitely a step up from the denim and tank tops," Regina smirked.

"Hey, don't act like your eyes are glued to my ass whenever I put on jeans," Emma argued.

"Hey! I'm right here," Henry said, seemingly appalled by his mother's comment.

"Sorry kid."

There was a soft knock on the door and Snow's head poked into the room, "Everything is ready if you guys want to head out."

The wedding party quickly hugged the brides before exiting the den, leaving Snow with her daughter and new daughter-in-law, which was an absolutely absurd way to think of the woman who used to be her step mother. Snow shook her head and turned towards her daughter.

"You were so beautiful Emma," Snow said, tears shining in her eyes.

Emma wrapped her arms around her mother. They'd grown much closer in the past year. Since Snow had come to terms with her and Regina's past, things had gotten much easier and Emma had found she enjoyed having a mother to care about her. Snow and Regina had even formed a fragile sort of friendship. They shared recipes and gardening tips and had even compromised on locations for weekly family dinners.

"Thanks mom," Emma smiled.

Snow turned toward Regina, "You were stunning, Regina."

Regina smiled at the warm compliment, "Thank you dear, though I think Emma in a dress was the real star of this wedding."

"Make your jokes, see if I ever dress up again," Emma threatened.

Regina leaned toward Emma and whispered, "I don't plan on having you dressed at for the next week."

Snow couldn't hear what Regina said, but she imagined from the blush that colored Emma's cheeks that it was probably better off that way. Another knock on the door interrupted them anyway.

"If you're ready, it's time for your first dance," Archie's voice carried through the door.

"I'll go find Charming and get a good spot for some pictures," Snow smiled.

She headed out of the room followed by Emma and Regina. They made their way to the back door, which blocked their view of the now transformed back yard. They heard Archie talking through the microphone that had been set up. The door was pulled open and the women stepped onto the back patio. Emma led Regina through the crowd to the wooden floor that had been setup in the back yard.

It was still early but fairy lights twinkled around the back yard and paper lanterns hung from the trees. It was beautiful. Emma wrapped her hands around Regina's waist while Regina's hands found Emma's neck. Emma stepped closer and smiled as the strum of a guitar filled the speakers.

Feeling my hands star shaking
Hearing your voice I'm overjoyed
I'm sorry but I have no choice

"I love you so much," Emma mumbled as she and Regina glided around the dance floor.

Then maybe, maybe let me hold you baby,
Let me come over I will tell you secrets nobody knows
I cannot overstate it I will be overjoyed

The smile on your face like summer
The way that your hand keeps touching mine
Let me be the one to make it alright

"I love you too, my savior," Regina replied.

Magic sparkled around the pair and there were few dry eyes in the crowd. Snow was taking photos as tears streamed down her cheeks, Charming's arms wrapped around her waist.

And maybe, maybe let me hold you baby,
Let me come over I will tell you secrets nobody knows
I cannot overstate it I will be overjoyed

Regina rested her head on Emma's shoulder, her face buried in Emma's neck as they stood closer. Emma's arms tightened around the tiny waist of her wife. Regina's fingers toyed with the wisps of hair that escaped Emma's braid.

And if you want we'll share this life
Anytime you need a friend I'm gonna be by your side
Nobody understands you, well I do

So maybe let me hold you baby
Let me come over I will tell you secrets God only knows
I cannot overstate it, I will be overjoyed

Regina and Emma reluctantly broke apart as the song ended. The crowd around them clapped and a few (mainly Ruby and Henry) hollered happily for the couple. A more upbeat song came on and the women gestured for the crowd to join them on the dance floor.

Everyone danced happily until the food was served. Regina could only smile as her wife and son shoveled more food than should be humanly possible into their mouths. When it was time for the traditional father-daughter dance, Emma took the floor with Charming while Regina had Henry as a dance partner.

As the night carried on guests began to leave but Emma and Regina hardly separated. Henry had fallen asleep and Snow and Charming were packing up their belongings so they could take the boy back to the house they'd purchased a few months before.

Emma waved to Ruby and Belle as they headed out, leaving the couple alone save for a few people hired to work the wedding.

"Well, Mrs. Swan-Mills, what do you say we take this party upstairs," Emma suggested.

"I'd say that sounds like a wonderful idea dear," Regina smiled.

Emma laced their fingers together and led the love of her life into the house. If you'd told either woman a year ago that they'd soon fall in love and start a life together, it would have seemed like the most ridiculous thing in the world. Now, it simply seemed right. And neither woman would simply let the days go by in anger or pain or numbness, they would enjoy them with their family.

Well, that's all she wrote ladies and gents.
