Two years and three months later.

Emma feels something warm, or rather her girlfriend wraping her arms around her. While lying in their Queen sized wonderful bed.

"Mmm" Emma mumbles, with a smile appearing upon her face, whilst keeping her eyes closed.

"Good morning sweetheart" comes a raspy voice, which only warms her more.

"Morning" Emma mumbles back and is blissfully comfortable right now.

"We should get up" Regina then says, whilst kissing Emma's shoulder. "Its your first day in your new job"

Emma growns.

"I thought you was looking forward to it?" Regina asks with a frown.

"I am..I'm just a little...anxious about it, thats all. What if they hate me?"

Regina scoffs.

"Theres little chance of that sweetheart. All you have to do is be yourself and their love you" she then says with a soft smile, before then kissing Emma's shoulder again.

"Thanks, it means alot you know..I mean you've been nothing put supportive, even all those times I got grouchy"

"Do you mean the time, that you threw my vase with flowers across the room and went on a rant about how you were never going to be good enough to be a teacher?" she smirks but Emma grimaces at the memory, because that wasn't her finest hour.

"But you are more than good enough Emma" Regina then adds and Emma breaks out into a smile and moves to turn herself around to face Regina.

"And I know your going to be a wonderful teacher because I believe in you, okay?"

Emma looks into those captivating chocolate orbs and smiles.

"Okay" she holds Regina's gaze. Until Regina leans forward and pecks Emma on the lips, before pulling away and saying "We should get dressed"

Which then causes Emma to pout but she is then transfixed, as Regina gets out of bed wearing absoulutly nothing.

She then, rakes her eyes over Regina's nakedness and pays particular attention to her ass. Whilst rememberng, how good it felt to massage and squeeze it lastnight and this sends a wave of arousal through her.

"I wish I had woke up earlier now, so we could of had a quickie" she says outloud without thinking and Regina laughs because Emma has said this more than once before.

"Yes, well, our quickies are never quick dear and Henry will be awake soon. Maybe tomorrow your be lucky enough to get what you want" Regina then teases, as she puts on her silk robe.

"Your be the one thats lucky" Emma teases back, with a smug grin and Regina then shakes her head in amusement. Before saying "I'll go make the coffee" and walks to the bedroom door "Don't be long"

"Sure..give me five minutes"

"Okay" Regina nods and opens the door, walking through it and out. Before hearing Emma shout out "LOVE YOU" which makes Regina smile widely and feel all warm inside.

Emma then takes a deep breath and looks up to the ceiling. She thinks about how great everything actually is right now.

She has been living with Regina and Henry for over a year now and its been more wonderful than Emma could of ever imagined. Sure they had their disagreements and arguments but the making up more than made up for that and Henry adored her and she adored him.

They have had many dates which would most likely entail food or movies, weekends away with Henry and even the odd spa break. Which Emma wasn't to keen on but she'd do anything to make Regina happy.

They also spend a fair amount of time with friends and family, who get on really well with eachother and now, Emma thinks about the future.

She can imagine Regina in a white lacey wedding dress, which takes her breath away and Henry in a small tux and being all excited and him calling her mom.

And she smiles at the thought, of him calling her mom. She still remembers the first time he called her mom and it warms her heart.

It had happened just over a year ago when Emma moved in and he said "Mom lives with us now, I see her everyday..my wish came true"

Both her and Regina were then shocked and surprised by his statement, so much so, that when Emma and Regina talked about it after, they both had happy tears in their eyes because he had truely meant it.

She then sits up and thinks for a long moment about ways to purpose to Regina but then, the sinking feeling of rejection surfaces but she tries to push it away, knowing that Regina loves her.

"EMMA" she then hears Regina call out and she sighs and gets up, going to the bathroom.

Later that day, Emma comes walking out of her workplace at 4.32pm and is to busy staring down at her timetable, upon a sheet of paper to notice that Regina is waiting for her.

"EMMA" Regina shouts over, once the blonde has reached the gates and Emma snaps her head towards Regina with slightly wide eyes. Before walking over to her.

"What the hell are you doing here? where's Henry?" Emma says in surprise and then concern.

"What do you mean what the hell am I doing here?" Regina sasses back.

"Ugh, you know what I mean..Its a surprise thats all. I nice one though.." Emma rambles.

Regina smiles slightly.

"Well, Its your first day and I really wanted to know how you got on and Henry is with Katheryn untill five"

Emma nods is touched but then replies "You couldn't wait still I got home huh?" she smirks and Regina rolls her eyes.

"Well, I was worrid. Especially after this morning."

Emma then nods in understanding and stuffs her sheet away in her bag and then takes Regina's hand.

"Well, if you must know it went alright" she squeezes Regina's hand.

"Are you not going to elaborate dear?"

Emma sighs.

"Sure but how about we head home first, its been a long day"

Regina then nods and they get into Regina's car. Where Emma tells Regina how werid it is to be on the other side of things and the kids weren't as bad as she thought they'd be and she already has a favourite kid, who's smart and sweet and his name is Henry.

Just over a month later, having spent over half her wages on an engagement ring for Regina. Emma ponders her next move.

"Emma honey, you've been off with the fairies for a few days now and I can't help but think theres something wrong" Regina says, as she sits down within her cafe. After closing the shop.

Emma's eyes dart left and right and she crosses her arms.

"Nothing wrong Regina..its just, I've been thinking about the best way I can do something"

Regina tilts her head and wonders what Emma means.

"Maybe I can help you with that but you have to tell me what that something is"

"Um, I don't think you can help on this one"

"Why not?"

"Because" she bites her lip and thinks for a long moment. "I think I've been over complicating things in my head, I think I have an idea"

"Oh.." Regina replies, looking confused and Emma takes a deep breath.

"Give me an hour and then come home, okay?" she then says and then kisses Regina's head, before walking towards the door in a hurry and Regina calls out "Why? what are you up to?" and Emma looks back around with a smug smile and says "Its a surprise"

"I don't like surprises" Regina then says back with a confused look upon her face and Emma just shakes her head and says "Your like this one, at least I hope you will" and then leaves, leaving Regina to wonder what the hell Emma has planned and hopes it doesn't involve a grilled cheese or bearclaws.

An hour and twenty minutes later, Regina opens her front door with a feeling of antisipation.

The first thing she see's is red petals upon the floor, leading to the kitchen.

Oh my god, what is all this? she thinks with a confused expression upon her face, before then hearing Henry say "Mommy..why is their leaves upon the floor?"

"Their not leaves my little prince, their petals. Beautiful red petals that will take ages to clean up" Regina then explains, whilst taking her shoes off at the door and placing her bag upon the floor.

Henry then walks over to the petals and kneels down, picking them up and inspecting them.

Regina smiles at this and follows the petal path to the kitchen. Where she finds two candles alight upon the counter and a buf boqueat of flowers in a vase, her favourite chocolates and note upon it.

She walks over to them and smiles, whilst thinking how sweet Emma is.

She then picks up the square blue note, whilst looking at how nice the flowers are. Before then, looking down at the note.

'Regina' it starts 'I'm not very good at this writing thing but I want to tell you that everything changed for me on the day I walked into your cafe and saw you. You shook my world and I found myself wanting to get to know you and be around you all the time and I fell in love with you'

Regina is touched by Emma's words and continues to read...

'I was then, lucky enough to have you love me back. Something that I thought was impossible at the time and since then, everything has been more than I could have ever imagined. You have given me everything Regina and I want to give you everything too'

Regina places a hand upon her heart in awe.

'Please come into the lounge now' it then says and Regina walks out of the kitchen and to the lounge where she see's Emma standing there, biting her lip whilst trying to calm her nerves.

"Emma?" Regina says softly and then notices that there is more petals upon the floor.

"Hey" Emma replies shakily and swallows thickly, before reaching into her pocket and pulling out a small black box and then kneeling down on one knee, whilst holding up the box.

"Regina.." she says shakily "I know this may not be the most romantic way to purpose but I can't wait any longer because I need to know, if you would do me the honour and marry me?"

Regina gasps, as she see's Emma shakily open the box to reveal an expensive elegant engagment ring.

Theres then a pause, as Regina is speechless and is staring at the ring within the box.

"Re-gina?" Emma says shakily, as she is getting worrid that Regina will say no and Regina snaps her head towards Emma's face and stares into afraid eyes and Regina instantly nods.

"Yes, Yes of course i'll marry you" Regina then manages to say happily and Emma gets up and grins, before recieving a deep passionate kiss from Regina and repeated words of "I love you so much"

A long moment later, Regina pulls back and Emma brings the black box up and takes the ring out of it and says "May I?"

Regina smiles widely and brings her hand up so Emma may place the ring upon it.

"There" Emma says proudly. "Do you like it?"

"Yes" Regina replies seriously and truthfully and brings her hand up to get a better look. "Its absoulutly beautiful" she gushes.

"Yeah it is" Emma then mumbles "but its not as beautiful as you Regina" Emma then says softly and Regina melts and pulls Emma into an embrace and whispers "You have and continue to give me everything I ever wanted Emma"

"Thats good to know"

"Hmmm"

They then stay in an embrace for a long moment, until both pull back and Emma says "So, whats it going to be? Swan-Mills? or Mills-Swan?"

And this makes Regina think for a brief moment, Until she says with her heart swelling within her chest...

"Regina and Emma Swan-Mills..."
