Emma slowly fluttered her eyes open and was greeted by the beautiful sight in front of her. She smiled as she saw her wife sleeping peacefully in her arms. Her brunette hair sprawled across the pillow and her arm wrapped tightly around Emma's waist. Her head was snuggled into Emma's chest while her warm breath softly tickled the blonde's skin.

Emma brought her hand up and gently started stroking Regina's cheek. She couldn't believe how lucky she was to wake up to this woman every day. About seven years ago, if you told Emma she would be married to Regina with two amazing children she would have laughed in your face and ran the other way, but now? She wouldn't trade what she had for anything in the world. She knew that this is what she had always wanted, what she had always dreamed of and she couldn't be happier. She leaned down and softly placed a kiss on the top of Regina's head.

It has been seven years since the curse broke, seven years since her life had changed forever. It has been five years since she married her True Love and four years since a new, very adorable baby boy was added to their family.

Emma breaks into a smile when she hears her wife let out a little snore in her sleep. She never thought the big, bad mayor would be this cute and lovable when she met her. Boy was she wrong.

Regina, she was certainly the best thing that has ever happened to Emma besides her two children. Regina has changed the most out of anyone in this town. After Regina was accused of killing Archie everyone thought she would go back to being the Evil Queen. She surprised everyone by doing the exact opposite.

Emma was startled out of her thoughts by a hoarse voice.

"You know, it's not polite to stare," Regina whispered as she slowly opened her eyes to gaze at Emma. Emma beamed at the brown eyes staring back at her. She quickly leaned down to press her lips to the brunette's nose.

"How did you even know I was staring? Your eyes never opened," Emma scrunched her eyebrows and studied Regina's face.

"I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you," Regina said as she wrapped her arm even further around Emma's waist. She snuggled her head even further into Emma's neck and the blonde shivered feeling the warm breath gliding softly over her bare chest.

"Good morning baby," Emma said sweetly, she untangled Regina's arm from around her waist. Regina looked up with a frown. "Oh relax, I just want a good morning kiss." She leaned down ready to place her lips against Regina's when the brunette pulled away. It was Emma's turn to frown.

"Oh relax," Regina mocked with a chuckle, "It seems we have a visitor." Regina shifted her eyes towards the door with a smile. Emma followed her gaze and saw tiny fingers wrapped around the edge of the door pushing it open. They quickly made sure the covers were pulled over there naked bodies before seeing the pair of bright blue/green eyes staring back at them. Once the little boy saw the two woman were awake he slammed the door open. He looked between his mothers with an excited smile before seeing the soft glare on Regina's face. He knew he shouldn't have slammed the door open, but he was just so excited for the day ahead.

He looked down at the ground sheepishly mumbling, "Oops." He chanced a glance back at his brunette mother and saw her staring at him with a warm smile. He quickly ran over to the bed.

"Mommies!" He shouted as he climbed up the bed and made himself comfy between his mothers. They both looked at him warmly before looking at each other.

"Hi sweetheart," Regina sang leaning down to kiss his cheek. He quickly used his hand to wipe away her sloppy kiss. "Mommy, gross!" The two women laughed at his adorable reaction.

"Hi baby," Emma beamed at him. She wrapped one arm around him, using the other to hold the blanket to her chest. "What are you doing up so early?" Emma quickly ruffled his hair and he stuck his tongue out at her.

"Mama! You know what day is today," he said pointing at his other mother like she should obviously know the answer. "It's mommy's day!" He turned to Regina and tackled her on the bed in a hug. Regina wrapped her arms around him and peppered kisses all over his face. Emma started to tickle him as Regina finished with her kisses. This was a routine every Friday. He would come running in the room to wake them up, usually jumping on them and screaming excitedly that is was mommy's day. "Mommy's day" has been happening for over a year and he never got tired of it.

During the twenty-eight years of the curse, Regina found that riding horses and stealing hearts weren't her only passions. She discovered music. She began teaching herself to play various instruments, but her favorite two would always be the piano and the guitar. She would play for hours every day trying to put all of her frustrations and anguish into the music she was playing. She realized she had a nice voice seventeen years ago when she adopted Henry. She would spend hours rocking him to sleep singing him every lullaby she could remember. She never told anyone about her talent, not even Henry. It wasn't until she started dating Emma that she realized she didn't want to keep this huge part of herself a secret any longer.

Once Emma heard her voice she couldn't get enough. She would make Regina play a song for her at least once every day. Music became the way that Regina would express herself to Emma and they became so much stronger because of it. A few years after they were married, Emma pushed Regina to go public with her music and no matter how many times they fought about it Regina just wouldn't budge. It wasn't until their sons gave her the puppy dog eyes and begged her to do it that she finally caved. She told them she would do one show and that it was all they were getting. Emma set the whole thing up at Granny's. The whole town had shown up and Regina was so embarrassed and nervous that she almost didn't go on stage. She was so afraid that something she was so proud of would be ripped from her because of the rejection she knew she would get from the crowd.

Once on stage, she played and sang her heart out. She kept her eyes trained on her family through the whole performance and once her song was over she closed her eyes and waited to hear the insults. They never came. Her family started to cheer for her and soon the whole audience was screaming her name and clapping their hands. No one could believe it, they had never heard anything like that before and they wanted more.

Ever since that night Granny and Ruby begged Regina to play at the diner. Regina wanted to say no, she really did, but she couldn't deny the rush she got from hearing everyone cheer for her. She couldn't deny how good it felt to know that everyone accepted her that night, so she agreed.

It had been a year since then and she had been singing there ever since. Her family came and supported her every Friday and no matter how nervous she got she knew she could find comfort in Emma's eyes staring back at her.

Regina looked on at her wife and son as they kept tickling each other and knew that it would be another great day. "Mommy…" he son choked out, "help." His loud giggles echoed throughout the room as Emma kept working her slender fingers against his stomach.

"Say it," Emma said laughing, "Say that I am the best mommy," Emma looked at Regina as she said this and burst out laughing at the offended look on Regina's face. She stopped tickling her son and wiped at her eyes which were now damp from laughing so hard.

"Never!" Ryan screamed and looked to Regina who was wearing a proud smile on her face, "Mommy let's get her!" Both Regina and Ryan pounced on Emma and began their tickle attack.

"What is happening in here?" A deep voice said from the doorway. Emma looked at the door with a relieved smile. Turning to her two attackers she gave a cocky smile, "Oh now you are really going to get it," Emma said as she gave her oldest son a wink. He smirked back at her and ran over to the bed wrapping his arms around his younger brother. He picked up Ryan and wrapped him in a bear hug as the boy kept giggling.

"Henry!" He screamed as he tried and failed to wiggle out of his brother's strong arms. Emma and Regina looked at them with love in their eyes. Regina leaned in to finally give Emma her good morning kiss. Regina slowly pressed her lips against Emma's. Emma wrapped her hand around Regina's neck and brought them even closer together. They both got so lost in what was supposed to be a quick kiss that they jumped apart after hearing, "EW!" from their younger son.

"Mommies are kissing," he yelled as he reached to cover his eyes. The three older members of the family just laughed and smiled at the four year old. Henry carefully put Ryan down on the bed before noticing his mother's still clinging to their bed sheets. He scrunched his nose up in disgust, not wanting to imagine what they were doing last night, and muttered "Gross." He picked his little brother up once more and swung him over his shoulder. Ryan screeched in excitement. Henry turned over his shoulder and said, "Let's leave mommy and mama alone so they can get ready to make us a yummy breakfast," he turned back to his mother's with a pointed look, "hopefully with their clothes on." With that he turned and carried his brother out of the room and down the stairs leaving Regina and Emma looking at each other sheepishly. After a few moments of silence Emma shrugged her shoulders and tackled Regina into a hug.

"You are going to get us in trouble," Regina said as she hugged Emma tighter, "We keep falling asleep before we put our clothes back on!" She looked at Emma pointedly as if saying this was her fault.

Emma chuckled, "Hey! It's not my fault we tire each other out. If you wake up naked you should feel honored." She looked at Regina with a cocky grin and earned an eye roll from the brunette.

"Just keep telling yourself that dear," Regina got up from the bed and was almost to the master bathroom before turning around and saying, "Did you ever think that I close my eyes and try to fall asleep just so I don't have to deal with you anymore?" It was the older woman's turn to smirk. Emma narrowed her eyes at the brunette before jumping up and chasing after her. Regina gasped not expecting her wife to get up and quickly made her way into the bathroom. She locked the door before the blonde could reach her.

"Oh you are so gonna get it," Emma grumbled through the door. Regina, who was still leaning against the other side of the door, chuckled and started her daily routine.

Emma smiled to herself before getting dressed in her usual skinny jeans and a nice blouse. She knocked on the bathroom door and waited. She heard the lock click on the door knob signaling that Regina unlocked it and made her way into the bathroom. Noticing Regina was now in a black laced bra and panties she frowned. Regina noticed, "Do I look that bad" she said slightly offended. Emma quickly smiled and shook her head.

"Of course not my love," she wrapped her arms around Regina and held her for a few moments before leaning into Regina's ear. "I just like you better naked," she husked. Regina shivered involuntarily and sighed to herself knowing that Emma noticed the reaction she had on her. She stepped back and looked at Emma, sure enough, the blonde was wearing the same cocky grin she was before.

"Shut up," Regina muttered and tried to finish getting ready. Emma only chuckled before doing the same thing. Emma was a lot quicker at getting ready for the day than Regina so she softly kissed her wife's cheek and made her way out of the bathroom.

"I'll start breakfast," Emma said as she left. She paused outside the door knowing that what she said would get a reaction out of her wife.

"Don't you dare, I don't want our house set on fire. You know the only thing you are allowed to make is cereal," Emma heard her laughing through the door and smiled widely. She loved that woman. Emma made her way downstairs to join their sons.

Henry and Ryan were sitting on the couch in the living room watching cartoons. They were both dressed. Emma assumed Henry helped his little brother because he wasn't wearing one of the twenty costumes he "puppy-dog eyed" his way into getting. Emma smiled at them, Henry had his arm wrapped around the little boy and Ryan was curled into his side. They were inseparable. Emma stayed like that for a few minutes just watching her boys talk about which superhero would win in a fight before she felt a pair of slender arms wrap around her waist. She leaned into Regina, never taking her eyes away from their boys.

"How did I get so lucky?" Regina said in awe of her family. Emma turned in Regina's arms and smiled, "You three are the best thing to ever happen to me, I am the lucky one."

Regina pulled away and smiled, "Watch dear, you are starting to sound like your mother." Emma stuck out her tongue, the same way her little boy did earlier, and grabbed Regina's hand to start breakfast.

The family of four sat around the dining room table eating their food. The conversation flowed easily between the four and was full of laughs and teasing. Before long it was time to start the day. Henry and Emma always left before the other two. It was their daily routine, Henry got his school bag ready while Emma went to their safe and grabbed her gun and badge. She didn't leave it lying around in the house, especially with her two children around. She reached in the closet and grabbed her red leather jacket before putting it over her shoulders. Regina and Ryan walked them to the door telling them to have a great day. Ryan and Henry always did their secret handshake which consisted of a bunch of hand movements that always seemed to be changing. During that time Regina said her own goodbye to her wife.

"I love you, be careful out there okay? And I will see you later?" Regina asked hopefully. Usually on Friday's she would meet Emma at the diner before her show. They would make out like teenagers in the bathroom before she went on stage. Regina had called Emma her "groupie" once and all Emma could do was smile and agree.

"Babe, you know I am always careful. I chase a damn dog most of my shift, not much can happen with that. And I love you, you know I wouldn't miss tonight for the world. Seeing you on that stage is a dream come true for me." Emma looked down shyly, she hated being all sappy. Regina brought that part out of her the most. She loved the look Regina got when she realized how loved she truly was. Emma looked up and was met with watery eyes. Regina cleared her throat and laughed to herself hating the affect Emma had on her.

"I love you," Regina said again. Emma gave her one of her award-winning smiles before kissing her soundly on the lips. They always kissed each other like it was the last time. This time was no different, Regina moved even closer to Emma with their lips still connected. She wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck and reveled in the feeling of Emma's lips on hers. A throat clearing made them separate. They looked over to their sons and saw them both with disgusted looks on their faces though it was clear they were fighting smiles. Regina moved to kiss Henry on the cheek before saying goodbye to the pair. She took Ryan's hand and they made their way inside.

Emma and Henry raced to the car, now that Henry could drive he always wanted to. Emma raced him to the driver's side door and they both kept pushing each other out of the way as they fought for the door handle. Henry gave one last shove before he reached the door. "HA! I win!" he shouted. He stuck his tongue out at Emma before getting into the driver's seat. Emma rolled her eyes before dragging herself to the passenger side.

"Be lucky I let you drive my precious bug, few have had the opportunity," she huffed as she crossed her arms. Henry looked over at her as he started the car.

"Mom was right about you," he chuckled as he pulled away from the curb.

Emma looked at her son with narrowed eyes, "And what does that mean?" Henry pulled up to the stop light at the end of the street before turning to his mother.

"Oh, you know, just that you act like a child." Henry laughed as the light turned green. Emma huffed in her seat, "Henry I do n- Henry watch out!" He heard his mother scream before seeing the car coming straight at them. He didn't have time to move before the car slammed into his mother's side of the car knocking them both unconscious.

Regina and Ryan just made their way inside before she picked up her son while singing and dancing with him. She loved to hear him sing with his cute, squeaky voice. They swayed back and forth while they sang one of his favorite songs, "You are my sunshine."

"You are my sunshine,

My only sunshine,

You make me happy when skies are grey

You never know dear,

How much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away"

They continued dancing around the foyer arms wrapped around each other before they heard a loud crash. Regina's blood ran cold and she felt her heart start racing.

"Mommy, what was that?" Her little boy whispered. Regina set him down on the ground and bent down to his level. "I don't know sweetheart, I'm going to go check, why don't you go watch the rest of your cartoon while mommy goes outside." He smiled up at her and nodded while running into the living room.

Regina took a deep breath and turned to walk out the door. She couldn't see anything from the porch so she walked towards the sidewalk. What she saw next made her heart stop. She felt the tears well in her eyes as she saw a car smashed into the side of Emma's precious yellow bug. She took off in a sprint towards the end of the street before stopping in front of the collision. She saw the faces of Emma and Henry before muttering, "No..."
