AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Okay guys, this is the final chapter; it's all fluff my friends, all fluff. NO SMUT. Mr Hose and I are so grateful for each one of you for joining us (me) on our story! You're all fabulous and glorious and I loved all your reviews.
I completely rewrote the ending so it'd be happy! I originally meant to kill Mary, Emma and Regina, and Hopper was to succeed but I couldn't do that to you guys :)
Anyway! It was a pleasure writing for you all and keep an eye out because I'll be writing another fic very soon ;) ;) ;) and I'm super excited for it.
THANK YOU ALL 30 000 OF YOU WHO READ THIS OMG.
Emma out xoxo (ant1ers . tumblr . com) HAPPY READING.

Emma stretched her arms up above her head as her extremely full stomach pressed uncomfortably against her pale blue dress. Yes, it was loose but with its empire waist line, it made Emma look pregnant. Regina glanced over to Emma and smirked,

"Eyes too big for your stomach, dear?" She rested a hand on Emma's bloated stomach and the Greek Queen giggled,

"My eyes are always too big for my stomach. I mean, how can you stop Regina? Your food is excellent. How do you stay so thin?" Emma puffed her cheeks out and smiled, resting her hand on top of Regina's, rubbing soothing circles. Regina leaned over and pressed a kiss to Emma's earlobe,

"Sex is quite the calorie burner, dear,"

Emma waggled her eyebrows at the Pharaoh, "are you suggesting something, my love,"

"My god you two, there are children at the table," Ruby rolled her eyes and motioned towards Henry who was too intensely focused on tearing apart his second helping of pork. The young brunette pushed her plate away and suppressed a yawn,

"A food nap is in order,"

"Ruby its eight o'clock at night; you are not 'food napping', you can wait until I dismiss you," Regina chucked a stern look at her handmaiden. Ruby crossed her arms and pouted.
"Can I food nap?" Henry perked up, wiping fat from his cheek. Emma giggled as Regina sighed, glaring daggers at Ruby.

"You can go to bed Mister,"

"What? Mum, the sun set a little while ago,"

"Yes, and you've had a big day training with Emma," Henry raised his eyebrows at his future step-mother,

"Are you not going to back me up here, Emma?"

"Sorry kid, I agree with your Mum; I taught you how to sword fight and you taught me how to ride a horse today. We should both be going to bed,"

Regina beamed at her son who crossed his arms. Emma couldn't help but notice that both Ruby and Henry both looked like stroppy toddlers.

The silence was broken as a slave boy burst through the entrance, breathing hard. Emma and Regina sat up straight, alarmed at the sudden intruder.

"Majesty…" He breathed deeply, holding out a crumpled roll of parchment in his dirty hands. Emma's eyes narrowed at her Mother's emblem mixed with an unknown handwriting.

"Does she want another payment?" Regina asked, raising a single eyebrow at the panting runner. He shook his head,

"No, My Lady, she…has had a situation,"

Emma snatched the paper from her lover's fingers and unrolled it, reading desperately.

"Hopper," she growled as Regina read over her shoulder, "I knew I shouldn't have left her alone with him," Emma pushed her chair backwards angrily and ran a hand through her blonde hair. Regina stood up and rested an assuring hand on Emma's shoulder; the Queen shrugged it off.

"He almost killed her Regina, I need to go back," Emma tried to wriggle of Regina who had thrown her arms around her shoulders.

"Shush, it's ok; I knew this would happen so I planned ahead,"

"What?" Emma broke Regina's hold on her and glared at the Pharaoh.

"Ruby, take Henry to his room and ready him for bed. I will be in soon," Regina looked to Ruby and nodded her head. She took Emma's hand and interlocked their fingers.

"Dear, if you had read the letter properly, you would see she had a problem. Mary is okay. After you sent me the first letter, I sent a spy into your household to make sure nothing was amiss when I came. I got lucky and my spy was suddenly put up to second-in-command to Hopper,"
Emma searched Regina's face, but the Pharaoh smiled softy, "you put a spy in my house?"

"I have had bad experiences with previous royal families, I needed to know,"

"Okay. Who was it?"

"His name is August but he goes as Augustus in your home,"

His name did ring a bell in Emma's mind. She had seen him briefly when she was riding with Antony.

"When Antony died, Augustus took his place next to Hopper," Emma mumbled.
Regina brought their intertwined fingers to her lips and kissed the back of Emma's hand, "I was going to remove him after we came back but I saw how Hopper was towards you and your Mother and I couldn't bear the thought of Mary being hurt, so I left him,"

Emma smiled and kissed Regina on the cheek, "thank you,"

"Your Mother is fine. August told me that her staff helped kick Hopper out. Apparently Granny has an excellent aim and Blue sure knows how to handle a butcher's knife,"

Emma burst out laughing at the image in her head, "excellent. That makes me happy,"
"There is no need to go back unless you'd like to; Henry is capable of ruling for a little while. He is coming of age in a week,"
"No, no. I'm fine, everything is fine," Emma reached out and pulled Regina into a tight hug, "everything is perfect,"

Regina sighed into Emma's neck, "good. Soon, we will both rule equally; Greece to the North, and Egypt to the South. No one will defeat us and we will prosper in a new era,"

"A new era of fun and supreme excellence ruled by a hot witch and a sassy-mouthed Athenian," Emma quipped. Regina rolled her eyes,

"Of course you ruin the moment. Good grief, I am marrying a child,"

"Which reminds me, what are we doing about that? Are we getting married or are we just throwing around the title for fun?"

"I'm not too bothered dear, I am happy being yours with no legalities,"
"Good because where I'm from, we can't marry anyway," Emma joked, kissing her wife-to-be on the forehead,

"Well, you know officially rule Greece, so you can change that,"

Emma paled, "Oh no, oh no,"

"What?" Regina looked at Emma with concern,

"I've never ruled before," the Greek Queen admitted, biting her lip,

"So Queen Emma is just…"
"It was just a name; I never really did any sort of ruling. Mary and Antony did it all,"
"I can help but I'm sure Mary wouldn't mind helping you and teaching you when we move down to Athens,"

Emma's eyes widened, "You want to move to Athens with me?"

"Of course dear, Henry will stay here in Alexandria and rule from here. I will return every once in a while to make sure he hasn't burnt down the place and started any wars. I have trained him since he was little to take my place. He knows what to do," Regina tucked some of Emma's hair behind her ear, "besides, I'd rather stay in the lush green of Greece than roast away under the sun here," she smirked.

"Okay," Emma breathed. Regina raised her eyebrows,

"That's all; okay?"

"Well, I don't know what to say. I just can't believe this is happening. You are moving to Greece and with our combined states, we'd own almost everything. This is a dream come true," Emma gasped and quickly wiped a tear from her eye,

"Why are you crying, dear?" Regina cooed, rubbing Emma's forearms,

"Because…because before I met you, I was cold hearted and alone, and Mary said I could never love. Now here I am, engaged to you, of all people, and everything is perfect. I thought I'd never get my happy ending,"

Regina laughed softly and shook her head, "you idiot, of course you'd get a happy ending. We both have our happy ending. I thought I was forever going to be married to Gold but here we are".

Emma sighed and squeezed Regina tightly, "Now say goodnight to your son. Tomorrow we will explain everything to him,"

"I love you Emma,"

"I love you too, Regina,"
