{g!p warning}

Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean for sure
You're so fresh to death and sick as ca-cancer

You were sorta punk rock,
I grew up on hip-hop
But you fit me better
Than my favourite sweater,
And I know that love is mean,
And love hurts
But I still remember
That day we met in December,
Oh, baby!

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh, baby, say you'll remember, oh, baby, ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time

Big dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like, "No please, stay here.
We don't need no money we can make it all work."

But he headed out on Sunday,
Said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin',
Anticipatin', and pacin'
But he was chasing paper
"Caught up in the game."
That was the last I heard

You went out every night
And, baby, that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side
'Cause I'mma ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well, shit at least you tried.

But when you walked out that door,
A piece of me died
I told you I wanted more,
But that's not what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancing all night
Then they took you away,
Stole you out of my life
You just need to remember...

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby, can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember, oh, baby, ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time

I stared out my kitchen window as i drank my coffee. Just like everyday. For the past 8 years. Waiting. Hoping. Praying you'll come back. But everydays the same. I drink my coffee. I watch through the window, hoping your fancy black Tesla will pull into the driveway. Then I run out of coffee. I look at the clock and realize I need to wake up Henry. I wake him up and help him get things ready for school. I leave him to get ready while i go down and make his breakfast and his lunch for school. Then I go upstairs and get ready for work. Then I take our son to school and i go to work. And everyday stays the same. But as I was turning to leave the kitchen today, I noticed a new fancy black Tesla pull into the driveway. I kept walking to go upstairs. It's just your imagination Emma. She's not here. She's not coming back. I stopped halfway up the stairs as I heard a knock on the door. I cleared my throat and went to wake Henry up before coming back to the door, right as whoever it is knocked. I opened the door and my breathing hitched as I saw you. Fitted suit. Black Louboutins. Just like the day you left. I cleared my throat again. "What are you doing here?" I asked softly, afraid if I spoke too much louder my voice would crack. "I came back for you." She said, not faltering. "What happened to needing bigger and better things?" I asked, almost bitterly. "I was stupid Emma. I was scared because I was falling in love with you. I was scared to fuck us up. So I ran. I shouldn't have. But i did." She said sadly. I nodded. "So it took you eight years to come back?" I asked, angrily. She sighed. "Emma I'm sorry." She said and i was going to say something, but Henry came downstairs and cut me off. "Mommy I don't feel good." He said softly. I crouched in front of him and felt his head and frowned, ignoring her confused looks. "Alright bud you're running a fever. So go on back to bed and I'll come up in a few minutes to give you some medicine." I said softly. He nodded and went back upstairs and i stood up to look at her. She looked confused and shocked. "Did you move on?" She spit and I laughed. But it was an annoyed laugh. "He's yours you idiot. You got me pregnant and left me. I was barely two months when you left." I said and her face turned to one of shock. "And you didn't think to tell me?" She asked almost hurt. I laughed, actually humored this time. "I tried. You never fucking answered. I didn't know where you were or who you were with so it's not like I could've come to see you." I said angrily. She sighed. "Emma. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you." She said and i nodded. "You're damn right you shouldn't have. I've wasted eight years of my life waiting for you to come back. And I'm glad you finally did because now I can focus on learning to hate you instead of missing you. Now get the fuck off my property." I spit and slammed the door in her face.

Several weeks passed and I was running into her everywhere. The grocery store. Granny's. Everywhere. She met Henry. He's been spending some time with her. She is his other parent after all. I was cooking dinner when I heard the front door open. Henry ran in the kitchen and I smiled at him. "Mom, can dad stay for dinner?" He asked and i looked up at him. "Dad?" I asked. She walked in and nodded. "H-he asked if he could call me dad since.. you know. And I told him he could call me anything he wanted." She said and I raised an eyebrow. Why did I still love her so much? I wanted to hate her. I wanted to hate her so much. But I couldn't. I sighed and nodded. "Yes baby your dad can stay for dinner." I said, ignoring her smile. When I finished dinner, I called Henry in to set the table and then I made plates for the three of us. "Henry what do you want to drink?" I asked softly as I got out the wine for her and I. "Can I have apple juice?" He asked and I nodded, getting it out of the fridge. I got two wine glasses and one regular glass before making our drinks. I set his at his place before setting her wine at the place beside him. Then I set mine across from him. We all sat down and started eating. "So dad, how long are you staying?" He asked. I didn't want her to answer. I didn't want her to break his heart by telling him she'd leave. "I'm going to be staying for awhile. Hopefully forever." She said and I could feel her eyes on me. "Really?" He asked excitedly. "Yes of course kid. I could never leave you and your mom." She said and I scoffed. "Again." I muttered. Regina sighed. "Dad, why'd you leave us before? I know i was still in mom's tummy. But... why'd you go? Did you not love us?" He asked and my heart broke. "Sweet boy I didn't know about you. Your mom was only a few months along when I left. She didn't even know. I left because I was scared to love. I was scared to lose your mom." She said and I tried to ignore it. "But... if you loved mom.." he said confused. "I was stupid Henry. I thought I needed better than this town. But i didn't realize this town had the best thing for me. Not until i was gone." She said and i looked up. "The best thing for you?" Henry asked. She nodded. Neither of them were looking at me. "Your mom." She said softly and my breathing hitched. "I could never make up for leaving her. But I hope she'll let me try." She said softly and looked at me, blushing when she saw i was already looking at her. I nodded, not saying anything. She smiled softly before looking back at Henry.

Two months passed. She and I were getting to know each other all over again. We were falling in love all over again. Except this time, she was focused on us. Making me happy. Not work or money or things. She was focusing on us. On a family. Our family. "Mom?" Henry asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and he smiled. "Can we go to dinner with dad?" He asked. I bit my lip and nodded. He smiled before telling the woman on the phone I said yes. When he hung up, he told me when to expect you and that I needed to dress nice. It was only two hours. I went upstairs and changed clothes. And sooner than I expected, the doorbell rang. I looked at the clock and saw it was exactly six o'clock. I smiled and left my room, going to open the door. I smiled seeing her. "Hello gorgeous." She said softly. I smiled as Henry came down and we left quickly.

After eating and getting our dessert, she cleared her throat. "So... I know I messed up leaving the first time. I don't ever want to leave again. So..." she said softly and pulled a ring out of her pocket. My eyes widened. "Emma Swan... will you please become my wife?" She said and my breathing hitched. "I..." i said, not being able to come up with words. I'm so in love with her it's crazy. I nodded with tears in my eyes and she smiled as she slid the ring on my finger and Henry cheered quietly. I leaned over and kissed her happily.

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
