This was supposed to be a one shot but then I thought I couldn't really leave you guys hanging on Emma's parents finding out from your reviews! ;)
Part 2
Glancing across to the woman beside her in bed, Emma smiles to herself as she kisses the top of the brunette's head. Stirring at the touch, Regina lifts her head to meet her wife's eyes with a smile of her own. "Good morning dear.."
Nuzzling their noses, the blonde returns to statement before kissing the Mayor's lips lightly. "Good morning wife.." Untangling herself to release one arm, Emma then leans over to the bedside table to check her phone, as Sheriff of the town she has to make sure there have been no emergencies during the night. Eyes widening at the screen, the blonde gulps. "Well my mom...knows"
"Hm?" Having been distracted by the comfort of her wife's embrace, the Mayor then raises an eyebrow.
"I have twenty missed calls and a very...abrupt message saying 'what the hell did you do last night'"
Biting her lip to prevent a chuckle, the brunette takes the phone from the blonde and places it back on the table. "She must have gone to Granny's already.."
"I am so dead..." Emma pouts. "Well it was nice knowing you and all.."
Burying her face into the woman's neck to continue their cuddle, Regina giggles. "Albert did warn you dear.."
"Yeah..." Thinking over what to do, the Sheriff quickly sits up, moving her wife off and stands. "Okay it's probably best if we just get this over with now.."
Groaning at the fact that she would have to get up, the Mayor glares at the blonde then shifts to the side to also get up.

Stood at the loft door, Emma shuffles on her feet nervously as Regina watches her movements while waiting for the woman to knock or open the door. "It's not going to be that bad..we were getting married anyway.."
"Yes but that was when it was with parents and in front of everyone and not a quickie in the registry office..
Scoffing while slightly offended, the brunette shakes her head. "I guess this is a waste of time then..as you know our marriage seems to be a sham..maybe we could get a quickie divorce while we are at it"
Realising her mistake, the blonde looks across at her wife. "No! That's not..Regina this is anything but a sham to me..I'm just concerned. Yes I know they won't be able to do anything about it but..I've always spent my life being a disappointment and now I..." Sighing, the Sheriff purses her lips. "I don't want them to be disappointed or try and make out that this is all wrong and ruin what we have.."
Seeing the woman deflate before her, the Mayor steps closer and hugs her arm before placing a small kiss to her wife's shoulder. "No one will ruin what we have, I promise you that. If we were to ever split up it would be through our own doing and agreement..no one else. I love you Emma Swan-Mills and I am in this for the long haul..your parents may hate me but so long as you don't then I'm okay with that"
Letting a small smile escape, the blonde kisses her wife's forehead then knocks on the door while taking hold of the woman's hand in support. Squeezing back, Regina looks towards the door as it opens and takes a breath.

Staring at the two women on her doorstep, Snow then moves to the side to allow them access. "I think you two have some explaining to do..."
Gently pulling the blonde inside, the brunette nods. "Yes we do but first you have to understand one thing Snow..we both love each and we both were getting married anyway.."
"But why in this way?"
Watching as the short haired woman closes the door and gestures towards the table in which her father is already sat with coffee ready for everyone, Emma sits beside her wife and answers. "Mom..I've read your stories..I know what kind of start you and dad had..if anything you should understand that sometimes when you love someone, you just do what you think is right and in that time, it felt right. We want to be together now and yes we didn't have the big fancy wedding but we will, so we can share what we have with everyone but for us..we didn't care, we just wanted to be married. We want to live together, start a family..it wasn't about doing it in secret or not allowing you to be there..in that moment it was about us and what we wanted"
Observing the two women's action as they grip each other's hand tightly while Regina seems to be watching their daughter in awe of her speech, Snow raises an eyebrow with a small smile. "So you're still going to have a wedding?"
Nodding, the blonde smiles. "We just got the legal part out of the way..so to speak.."
"And we also don't want a big wedding Snow. Yes we want to include the town but none of this over the top stuff..I already had all that once and it never made me happy and as for Emma I know that is not for her.." The Mayor cuts in with a serious stare towards her former nemesis.
Hiding a chuckle himself, David rubs his wife's shoulder as she pouts. "She's right Snow..besides I really don't see our daughter wearing a dress, do you?"
Frowning at the comment, Emma drops her mouth open. "Hey!"
Looking apologetic, Snow nods. "Your father is right though..."
"But..no..I.."
Holding a hand up to stop her wife, the Mayor looks towards the Charmings. "Oh she is wearing a dress..that I can agree on"
Rolling her eyes, the blonde mutters. "Right here..you know..."
"Actually..Regina there is something I want to show you.." Standing up, the short haired woman gestures for the fellow brunette to follow as the newly married couple share a confused expression.

Stopping in the doorway of Snow's bedroom as the owner searches through her closet, the brunette crossed her arms while waiting. "I hope you are not planning on giving me some tiara to wear..I'm a Queen I should at least have a crown.."
"No that's not what I have.." Pulling a book out, Snow walks up to Regina and holds it out with a smile.
Staring down at the cream and gold leather book, the Mayor's eyes widen as she swallows an unexpected lump that had formed in her throat from seeing it. "You..how did you..."
"I kept it..I guess I always thought you would be back one day..and you are, with the bonus of loving my daughter.."
"I..made this even before Daniel..I remember that when I got to sixteen..my father found me adding to it..and at that time I imagined my dress and..he swore that he would save up for the fabric that was needed so I could have the perfect dress for when the time was right. Mother of course found out about his separate savings and took it.." Looking down, the brunette runs her hand over the handmade book that she created from when she was a girl over what type of wedding she had hoped for.
"Regina..." Approaching the woman with a hand to her arm, the short haired woman looks sympathetic.
Glancing back to her now mother in law, Regina looks teary.
"I want to help you..achieve what you want..the wedding you deserve. I won't lie because I did love my father very much, the one I knew anyway..but I know he wasn't what you deserved..how he...treated you..I am sorry and I hope now because of Emma we can start over properly. I know we keep saying it but for her sake as well as our own, let's have a clean slate.."
Nodding, the brunette bites on her lip as it threatens to tremble. "I want that more than anything..like you said for Emma's sake if not our own..."
Bringing the Mayor into a hug, Snow sniffles then pulls back with a happy smile. "I guess now you're my daughter in law..which is slightly weird.."
Laughing, Regina wipes her tears then follows the woman back through to the dining table where Emma is still sat with her father. Breaking conversation, the blonde looks worried at her mother and wife but let's out a deep breath upon seeing the pair smile towards one another before taking their place at the table.
Glancing between the trio, David stands. "I think I should be elsewhere..you all have..wedding faces on..and I'm a guy so..I'll be elsewhere..."
The three women share a laugh as the former Shepherd makes his way out of the loft leaving them to it.
Placing the book onto the table, the former Queen looks to her wife warily as Snow looks on in support. "Do you want to meet the real Regina?"
Emma quickly takes her hand with a smile of encouragement. "I'm pretty sure I already know her but..sure..show me what you got" grinning a little while briefly resting her head against the brunette's, the Sheriff kisses her temple then watches as the woman opens her book.
A/N: maybe a three shot?...
