Summary: Everyone settles into their new roles at West Corp and Emma's family meets Regina.

It took a few months but the SEC found and charged the few executives that were in on Sidney and Gold's plan. Zelena had set a structure with Regina as President and Emma as Vice President. Granny was just below them as a head executive and was over Ruby and Belle. Everyone was settling in nicely and Zelena would pop in every now and again as expected to check on everything. Kathryn had also transitioned to representing Zelena and West Corp on an exclusive basis, she had even started her own small legal team. However, they had become a tight group of friends and saw each on at least a weekly basis.

Emma paced on the phone, "Killian, please don't share all of the details with my parents. Mom will freak out even if my deception led to good."

Killian laughed, "Swannie, I think if I haven't given away the rest of our secrets you're good. Although I do like the idea if I need something from you all of the stuff I can hold over your head."

Emma smirked and shook her head, "You do know you'd be incriminating yourself on most of those right?"

"Yeah, yeah. I have to admit though I never thought this would work out so perfectly, the girl and the job."

Emma cleared her throat, "You mean the woman."

Killian rolled his eyes, "My God, I knew you'd mate for life and turn into this respectful dame."

Emma looked out over the skyline view of her office, "Hey, we're still at the beginning of this I'd prefer you not to jinx it."

Killian sighed, "Swan, I understand the need to be cautious but I think we can say you're both in this for the long haul. There's a lot that's gone down and you both are in pretty deep. I for one can't wait to meet your future wife."

Emma looked down at her feet and blushed as she toed the carpet in her office, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves here ok?"

Killian scratched the scruff he called a beard and thought of something to say to his cousin, "Where's the normally confident wing-woman of mine?"

Emma coughed, "She's here, just this is the most serious I've ever been and it's all happening at once I'm trying not to hold on too tight."

Killian changed the subject, "So we're all set for next week?"

Emma nodded, "Yeah I figure Mom and Dad can stay at my place and you can stay in the spare bedroom at Regina's. I figure you and I will be going out more than Mom and Dad so it would be best to give them their own space."

Killian smirked, "Oh so you're shacking up with your girlfriend for the week?"

Emma rolled her eyes, "Just shut your face and I'll see you next week."

Killian just laughed as Emma hung up. Truth be told there hadn't been a night Emma and Regina had spent apart since getting back on track. They might be turning into the definition of U-Hauling but she was too happy to care.

Ruby walked into Emma's office. Emma was engrossed in her work so Ruby spoke up to get Emma's attention, "Wow your girlfriend becomes your boss and somehow you're working even harder than you were before. You do know she'll probably cut you some slack because you're sleeping with her?"

Emma smiled as her friend with the red streak sat down in front of her desk, "You know this is exactly why Granny is over you and Belle otherwise nothing would ever get done?"

Ruby sighed, "You were a hard-working suit from the minute you walked through the door, I never had a chance to make you a slacker, did I?"

Emma leaned back in her chair, "Oh so I should call Granny right now and let her know that you're slacking and this isn't the meeting you scheduled on your Google calendar?"

Ruby laughed and threw her hands in the air dramatically, "I can't get away with shit around here!"

Both friends laughed and Ruby spoke up again, "So how's it going? Are you settling in nicely?"

Emma smiled, "I should really ask you, I feel like it was more of an adjustment for you than for me."

Ruby nodded, "True you were playing executive before you actually got paid to do it. I don't know if it's because our group is so amazing but being a suit isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I'm enjoying it."

Emma chuckled, "Ruby, did I manage to lure you to the dark side without cookies?"

Ruby smirked, "Oh there are plenty of cookies just not the literal kind you're talking about."

The blonde rolled her eyes and went back to her paperwork.

Ruby asked, "So Killian and the parents are coming next week, that's big, right?"

Emma groaned and put her head in hands, "I've already had to make Killian promise me that he wasn't going to tell my parents the entire story of what happened. Am I going to have to make you too?"

Ruby laughed, "Oh please those details are boring if anything I will tell them how often their precious daughter is shagging the boss." Ruby suggestively raised her eyebrows as she finished speaking.

Emma rolled her eyes, "Shagging? Really?"

Ruby shrugged, "What can I say I love the Zelena experience and that includes learning to give you shit in British slang about your boffing, shagging, snogging, and what have you."

Emma laughed, "Well Sherlock, you may want a dictionary boffing is most definitely an American term."

Ruby narrowed her eyes, "Fine whatever I'm just going to find all of the dirty words I can use no matter the origin."

Belle came into the office at that moment, "Sweetie, let's go to lunch."

Ruby got up from Emma's desk and followed immediately.

Emma mocked, "Bye, Sweetie."

Ruby continued to follow Belle but flipped Emma off on her way out as the blonde's laughter bounced through the office.

David, Mary Margaret, and Killian stood in Emma's office admiring the view.

David spoke up, "I for one am impressed, Emma, I feel like you did exactly what you set out to do."

Mary Margaret turned to Emma and narrowed her eyes, "I am still wondering how in such a small period of time you went from an entry-level executive to Vice President."

Killian cut in, "MM we told you, Emma helped find out the former head of the company was involved in a deal that sent several of the executives to jail and the new head of the company rewarded her."

The pixie-haired woman, "Something about it just doesn't sit right."

At that moment, Regina walked in the office, "Sorry I'm late, I was in a meeting." Regina walked over to Mary Margaret, David, and Killian and shook their hands, "It's such a pleasure to meet Emma's parents, she has told me so much about you and Killian."

Killian gave the beautiful woman a devilish wink, "I just want you to know everything Emma said about me can't all be true."

Regina smiled, "Oh, I damn well know it's all true."

David laughed, "Well, if she's already figured out Killian I'd say Emma is in good hands, it's a pleasure to meet you, Regina."

Mary Margaret gave Regina a look as if she was trying to size her up, "Regina, please forgive me but I just don't follow Emma's high rise to fame here it almost sounds like a set up of sorts, it's just all too convenient."

Regina smiled as Emma had prepared her for the interrogation her mom would give her, she honestly expected it to be about their relationship and not Emma's position in the company. At any rate, Emma had told her that her mother wouldn't like the mailroom deception so she was to leave that out. "Mary Margaret, I assure you as the new President of West Corp we have weeded out all of the dirty executives, Emma's position is not only safe but well deserved. She was integral in figuring out the plot against the company."

Mary Margaret seemed placated by this answer for now and said, "Well what are your intentions with my daughter?"

David grabbed Mary Margaret around the shoulders, "Dear, don't use up all of your ammo all at once we're here the whole week. Besides Emma is an adult and I think she has all of this under control no need to go Rambo on this wonderful lady."

Emma, Killian, and Regina all exchanged looks of amusement. Mary Margaret was very protective of Emma and went into mama bear mode but was about as threatening as a gnat, her behavior came off as endearing and slightly annoying.

Later that evening after dinner Killian and Emma were having drinks at Regina's. Regina had gone into the master suite to take a shower.

Killian took a drink of bourbon, "You know Regina's got excellent taste, you know I'm more of a rum guy but damn this is tasty!"

Emma gestured toward herself with her glass, "Um obviously... she chose me!"

Killian smirked, "There's my Swannie! You've seemed stressed lately."

Regina was toweling her hair off in the bedroom but could hear snippets of their conversation. She wasn't one to eavesdrop but she noticed Emma's stress lately but was trying to get through this visit with Emma's parents before questioning it.

Emma sat her half-full glass of bourbon down on the island and sighed, "It's the takeover, it's Mom and Dad, it's Regina now being my boss. I let her down once and I never want to do that again. I broke her trust and it nearly killed me. I just want everything to be perfect or as perfect as it can be at work and at home." Emma put the glass to her lips and let the strong brown liquid warm her insides.

Killian looked at Emma, "Swan, I may not know that woman in there like you do but I can tell you that she loves you without a doubt. I knew it in her actions before I came here but especially now that I've met her, don't stress you got this. Also, talk to her if you're worried about it."

Regina smiled at the advice Killian was giving Emma, she could see now why he was so important to Emma. She also needed to make sure that Emma knew she was doing great and that Regina didn't need Emma to be perfect, she liked her just the way she was. That charming blonde had gotten through her tough exterior like no one had before and it might sound cliche but she knew Emma was the one.

Regina and Emma were in bed a few hours later. Regina was staring at the ceiling in the dark thinking about how to broach the topic. She cleared her throat, "Did Killian find everything he needed in the guest room?"

Emma turned on her side to face Regina. She hadn't realized the brunette was still awake, "Yeah, thank you for hosting."

Regina turned on her side so she was looking at Emma, "You don't have to thank me, Emma, he's family to you which means he's family to me."

Emma smiled, "How did I get so lucky?"

Regina blushed at the comment but then took Emma's hands in hers, "Look I'm not one to eavesdrop but I heard Killian mention how stressed you've been while I was changing earlier. I noticed it as well, I thought it might have something to do with your parents visiting. I just want you to know that you don't have to stress so much about making things perfect for me. You're doing great at work and in fact, you're doing great in our relationship, we had a bump in the road but it's over... we're moving on. And just for the record, I don't want perfect, I want you. I want the charming blonde that got me to love again, I want your arms around me at 3 am, a shoulder to lean on after a hard day and most importantly I want to be all those things for you."

Emma leaned forward and captured Regina's lips with hers. When she pulled back she opened her arms and said, "Come here, little spoon."

Regina settled against Emma's shoulder and let out a sigh of contentment as she drifted off to sleep.

Emma knew without a doubt that she loved Regina and couldn't wait to continue building their future together.

A few weeks later Emma was in her office going over a few things when her assistant Tracy walked in, "Miss Nolan, Miss Mills requested you in her office immediately."

Emma looked up and creased her brow, "Tracy, I've told you a million times please call me Emma. Did Regina say what this was about?"

Tracy shook her head, "No, just that she wanted to see you right away."

Emma stood up from her desk and thanked her assistant on her way out of her office and down the hall to Regina's. When she entered she stared at her phone double-checking her Google calendar, "What's going on? I didn't think we had any scheduled meetings today?"

Just then the blonde looked up and saw Regina perched seductively on the desk and her jaw dropped.

Regina smirked and knew her ploy had worked, "I simply needed some Emma time now get over here and kiss me."

Emma closed her mouth and smirked, "Whatever you say, boss!"

The blonde nestled herself between Regina's legs and wasted no time giving her boss and lover what she asked for. Emma started slowly running her hand up Regina's skirt inching toward the promised land but suddenly stopped when behind her she heard, "Oh bloody hell! What did I tell you two about doing that in the office? I think I remember a threat of recording it and selling it on the internet."

Emma and Regina giggled quietly as Emma turned around and Regina straightened her outfit. Regina cleared her throat, "What have I told you about barging in my office?"

The red-head rolled her eyes, "Look, your little assistant wasn't out there and I own the place I will walk in when and wherever I damn well please!"

Regina and Emma rolled their eyes at their unorthodox boss. They loved her but there was no doubt that she was a handful.

Emma questioned, "What brings you here, Z?"

Zelena smiled, "Look everything is final my divorce, the company stuff was all just officially signed over; it's all settled. It's been one hell of a journey. I want both of you to knock off the rest of the day and join me and the rest of the girls because it's time I properly thank you all for saving me when you all could've easily let my father's company go under. I love you all and I know I've given you jobs but we need to finally take a breath and celebrate what's rightfully ours." Zelena walked out telling them to come along that she was grabbing Belle, Granny, and Ruby.

Regina followed close behind Zelena while Emma leaned against the desk for a second realizing just how far she had come in such a short time and how blown away she was every day that she, Emma Nolan (Swan), had pulled off one of the greatest tales of climbing the ladder of the business world and got the woman in the process. The blonde shook herself out of her self-reflection and walked out of the office to enjoy her new life.

A/N: It's always weird to post the last chapter of a fic, especially this one I don't know where the time has gone! I took longer in starting to post this one than my others but once the posting started this one seemed to fly. I hope to have brought a positive light to some of your lives during such a hard time in the World. As always thanks for the support and sticking with me, I hope to have another story in the works soon! Like my last two works, this one is dedicated to Keki186. Without her I'm not sure these fics would exist. I cherish the wonderful friend I have found halfway around the World. Not only has she influenced my life with fics but she has helped me overcome many personal hurdles and see that I am worthy of many things. I just have to pull my head out of my ass at times and take risks. Thank you!
