Third chance at love

Royal Traditions

So... What are you thinking? Raphael said as he wrapped his arms around his love's waist. Regina looked around her in complete amazement. The small little church was beautifully decorated head to toe with beautiful flowers and golden ribbon banners. 

" Raphael It's beautiful!" Turning in his arms Regina pulled him into a sweet kiss. Grinning from ear to ear Raphael still couldn't understand how every time she kissed him it always felt like it was the first one.

 " You like it then." Raphael said breaking the kiss. Rolling her eyes Regina thought it was obvious. Pulling him into another quick kiss Regina returned to admiring the beautiful little church again. 

" yes of course I like it Raphael. I just can't wait to everyone else to see this." Regina said. Regina was feeling excited but also nervous. It was the first time both family were meeting and Regina was worried it might be a step too far.

The name day christening was just a small gathering for the family. However Raphael was still unsure of it all. He was glad to see his Queen smile with joy and excitement but for him it made him tense. His mother didn't do to well with people outside the voodoo community. His Grandmother one the other hand wasn't too bad but knew she could act a bit odd at times.

" Regina are you sure you want to go on with this?" Raphael said. Regina turned to see the anxious look on her love's face.

" Are you having second thoughts my love?" Regina said as she cupped his face. " Raphael everything should be fine. We are doing this for our girls. They deserve have good memories with their extended family. You and I both known that."

" yes I know but my mother-."

" don't worry about your mother Raphael. Focus on the twins." pulling him into another kiss Regina deep it just a bit before breaking the kiss to smile lovingly at him." I love you."

Holding her closer Raphael rested his forehead onto her. Looking into her beautiful brown eyes he returned the smile." And I love you too."

Zelena was vexed. Hearing what Lucy told her the other day, she didn't know what to think. She wanted to protect her little sister but she also didn't want to spoil her day.

Zelena didn't know what to think about Ella and Tiana other then that they're dead crazy for revenge. She had tried so hard not to spill the beans to Regina when she dropped her twins in the morning. She probably guested that something was up with her when she started acting odd around her. She couldn't even look her sis in the eyes.

She had made Lucy promised not to say a word about the issue but to be honest with herself it wasn't Lucy she was worried about.

Snapping out of her overwhelming thoughts Zelena turned her attention to her little nieces. They were so adorable as they slept in their Moses baskets. She had just got them to sleep for their day nap before the twins big day. Zelena was truly happy for her sister's little family she just wished all members felt the same. 

As the hours drew closer to the special event Regina had arrived back at Farmhouse with complete joy on her face. " Look at you with that Cheshire cat  smile." Zelena said as she greeted her sister into her home. 

" Well yes Today is a special day for our family. I just can't wait to share this special moment with the ones I love." Regina was really over the moon about this but deep down in the back of her head, a small voice is telling her a different story. She wanted things to go down with good vibes but just maybe things could really go bad. Looking at her sister Regina could also see the stress written on  her face. " Zelena are you okay. You was acting odd earlier?" Regina asked as she took a seat in the living room. Zelena followed but it was clear Zelena's chill appearance was breaking.
