Including you (Swan Queen)

This is it

*Emma's POV*

I had greeted Max and introduced him to the rest of my family before we got into the Mercedes and started driving. I could feel Regina's questioning eyes on me the whole ride and when we arrived outside a large house next to a river.

The garden was just as I remembered and was overflowing with the beautiful colours of all the flowers. "I see Lucy has kept the garden in check." Max hummed in response and smiled I smiled at the memory of my first time in this garden. We got out of the car and Max helped get the bags out of the trunk before we began to walk up to the front door. It was so peaceful and beautiful that it almost haunted me that I had had to leave this place. Regina reached out for my arm and stopped me whilst Henry and Max continued up the path " Em, how do you know this guy? What is this place?" I smiled at how concerned she was and kissed her on her nose and grabbed her hand "I promise I will tell you everything but let's get settled first okay?" She seemed to be a bit skeptical but followed me anyway.

When we got inside we saw Henry on the floor with a brown bundle in his lap which was shaking violently when it came running towards us and laid on Regina's feet. I laughed at the little spaniel "Gina, meet Rosie," when I looked at the woman next to me there was a look of pure joy and innocence on her face which made me smile even more.

*Few hours later*

We had finally got our selfs sorted and I was in the kitchen talking to Lucy and Max when Regina came in. "Emma, can we talk?" I quickly excused myself and found myself leading the brunette into the garden with me "I guess you want to know?" She looked at me and nodded and I could see the confusion in her eyes. "When I was 10 I ran away from the people I had been adopted by. They had brought me to England because they both had work here. So when I got lost and couldn't find my way back, Lucy found me. She brought me back here and her and Max tried to find where I had come from. When they went to send me back I told them about how the couple who had adopted me were not the nicest and I couldn't go back to them." I looked up at the woman and saw the sad look on her face "I don't know how they did it but they made a deal with the couple that every time they had to come to England I would stay with them. And over the 3 years I was with that family I spent more time here. Then they sent me back into the system" I saw Regina had stopped so I turned to face her "this is all my fault, I'm the reason all those families hurt you and threw you away. How can you even look at me." I could see the tears in her eyes and as my hand went to caress her cheek she stared into my eyes, green on brown, "I love you Regina, for all that you are, I know you did bad things but you've changed and no matter what happened in the past I will always love you." She leaned into my touch and gripped my arms "Do you think we would be together if I never sent you away?" She spoke so softly that I almost didn't hear her but I simply smiled "Well, I would say yes because I would not be able to keep my hands off of you in those outfits, damn." She laughed with me and I wiped her tears away with my thumb. "I wasn't planning on doing this like this but I need to do it now, wait here for a second." I held my finger up to her and kissed her quickly before running back inside. I saw Henry in the floor with Rosie still "quick get the camera." He looked at me with wide eyes "now?!" When I nodded in return he ran and within 30seconds he was back, camera in hand. We walked to the kitchen together before I walked out and he stayed behind a bit so Regina couldn't see him. I went and stood in front of Regina again and I held her hands in mine, "Gina, I love you. For all you are, evil queen, mayor of Storybrooke, and Regina Mills, I have loved you since our first argument and I will always love you through the many arguments to come. I spent 28 years of my life trying to find my home and I found it on my birthday. The day a 10 year old boy came to find me and brought me to the only person I could every truly love. You." She had tears in her eyes and I couldn't help but smile at just how beautiful she was. "You are everything I every dreamed of and everything I ever wished for, you are my family and I want to make that official." She looked a little confused but when I leant down in front of her on one knee she gasped. "Regina Marie Mills, I love you, I always have and I always will. No matter how hard it gets I will never leave your side. So," I reached into my jacket and removed a small leather box. "Will you do me the absolute honour of being my wife," I looked up to the brunette and saw her covering her mouth in shock as she collapsed to her knees in front of me, her hands came to my cheeks as she looked into my eyes "Yes, a hundred times yes." I smiled widely and leaned in to kiss her. It was soft but filled with passion and in that moment I knew. I was finally happy.

We pulled apart when air became a problem, and I slipped the ring onto her finger

I looked over to Henry and saw that he was smiling almost as widely as I was before going back to the woman in front of me. This is it.

This is my happy ending.
