“God!” Mary Margaret squealed before she turned to look into the distance at Emma with a hungry and desperate glare as she whispered through clenched teeth, “wedding.”

Emma looked at her with a confused tilt of the head and then a fearful expression before she looked at David who looked apologetic and shrugged. Suddenly Emma leapt to her feet, “watch your sister,” she told Henry and ran into the house.

Katherine, Granny, Ruby and Regina were busy in the kitchen as Emma came skidding in, “Regina!”

Regina turned around with concern etched on her face, “what is it?”

“I need to talk to you,” Emma said as she looked out of the door and saw a massively pregnant Mary Margaret waddling towards the house while clapping her hands together and occasionally squeezing.

“Now?” Regina asked impatiently as she looked at the food being prepared.

“Yes!” Emma cried, “right now,” and grabbed Regina’s hand and dragged her through the hallway and into the living room.

“Emma? What’s going on?” Regina demanded as Emma began to turn a deep shade of red and was even trembling, “you’re shaking!”

“Regina,” Emma announced formally, “I,” she stopped and quickly lowered herself onto one knee, “I love you.”

“I love you too,” Regina said with a frown, “now get up and come and help with the food.”

“I mean I really love you, more than anything,” Emma said as she reached into her pocked and fumbled with something, “and I.. I..”

Realisation dawned on Regina and her eyes flew wide open and she hesitantly asked, “Emma?”

“Will you marry me?” Emma asked as she held up a ring, “please say yes..”

“Emma,” Regina breathed, “are you sure?”

“More sure than anything,” Emma said, “we’ve lived together for the last seven months and I have never been happier, I know some people may think it’s too soon but I know this is right. We live together, we’ve both got joint custody of Henry and we’re a family.”

Regina’s eyes filled with tears as she looked down at Emma speechlessly.

“Please answer soon because my mother just found out I’m asking you and she is literally about to come in here like a thing possessed,” Emma winced.

“Yes, of course, yes,” Regina said quickly and Emma jumped up and threw her arms around Regina and held her tightly.

“In fact,” Regina said as she pulled her girlfriend off of her and held her face in front of her own, “I also had something special to ask you today..”

Emma stared at her in tear soaked questioning and Regina continued, “you’re right, we are a family, I wanted you to have joint custody of Grace with me.”

Emma gasped, “but..”

“No buts,” Regina said, “you are wonderful with her and we both love her like she is our daughter so it is only right that we make it official. I want you to be her mother.”

Emma nodded as tears started to fall down her face, “yes, yes, of course, yes..”

Mary Margaret appeared in the hallway, frantic from chasing her daughter and turned to regard the two women who were standing in the living room hugging and crying. Mary Margaret burst into tears and walked towards them with her arms outstretched while loudly bawling.

Regina and Emma opened up their hug and accepted the pregnant woman into the hug and Regina smiled over Mary Margaret’s head at Emma who mouthed an apology to the brunette.

“What’s going on?” Ruby cried as she ran into the hallway, “I heard a noise?”

Mary Margaret turned around, “they’re getting married,” she exclaimed before turning back to the hug and bawling with happiness again.

“Mom?” Henry appeared with Grace in his arms and froze when he saw Ruby looking at the three crying women, “Mom?”

“Everything’s fine, Henry,” Regina told him quickly.

“Why are you all crying?” Henry asked with a panicked face.

“We’re happy, happy tears,” Emma confirmed.

Mary Margaret turned around again, “they’re getting married,” she told Henry through a big, wet, smile.

“Mommy,” Grace babbled and clapped her hands as Henry stared at them in shock, “for real?”

“Fo sho,” Regina grinned.

“Don’t do that, Darling,” Emma told her, Regina’s need to be young and cool for Henry was rapidly turning into an embarrassing issue.

David ran into the hallway and saw the scene, he looked at Emma, “did she?”

“No, I got here in time,” she said.

He sighed a sigh of relief, “and did she?”

“She said yes,” Emma smiled, “I’m getting married.”

“They’re getting married,” Mary Margaret said with a smile to her husband.

“Yes,” David agreed, “now let’s get the food served and give them some peace.”

David and Ruby herded Mary Margaret, Henry and Grace out of the room and Emma and Regina looked at each other and smiled.

“Your mother better have that bloody baby soon,” Regina laughed.

“Yeah, I can’t take it anymore,” Emma agreed, “but I was panicking so it’s good it brought my plans forward a bit, I’m relieved now it’s done.”

“Emma Mills,” Regina smiled.

“Er, no, Regina Swan,” Emma corrected.

“We’ll let Grace choose,” Regina laughed as she leaned in and kissed Emma lovingly.
