Henry came home just as the pizza delivery guy pulled up, he lead them out to the back yard, making all the work men freeze at the sight of Henry, but cheer when he said that the pizza was here and to enjoy it.

Regina smiled as Kathryn kissed her shoulder before whispering into her ear. "Babe, your parents are literally the coolest. You know that, right?"

"That I do," Regina said, nodding.

"This is honestly the best job I've ever worked," Regina heard a worker tell a group of his friends as they sat in a circle around one of the many boxes of pizza.

"Dude, same. Remember that time we worked that hundred-twenty degree day my first week on the job?"

"Oh god, you were so out of it the whole day," another worker said with a laugh.

"Drinks are here," Henry called as another pizza worker showed up with a few carry bags filled with various drinks.

"Does everyone want me to go get some cups or are you okay with sharing a bottle?"

A few people raised their hand for a cup, making Regina do a headcount before she slipped off Kathryn's lap and made her way inside.

"Dude, again... you have the best girlfriend ever," one of the workers said when Regina was out of ear-shot.

Kathryn just smiled, resting her hands between her knees. "Yeah, she's pretty amazing," the blonde said, looking up as Regina came outside with a stack of plastic cups and a sharpie.

"Here, so you don't forget which ones your cup, write your name on it," Regina said, handing out the cups to the people who asked and putting the remainder down by the drinks in case others decided they wanted a cup.

"Excuse me, Mr Mills, sir?" A worker asked, making Henry look up from his newspaper.

"Yes, boy?"

"I want to thank you for allowing all of us to have that time to relax and beat the heat," he said, making Henry smile at him.

"It's not a problem, tell you what. For the remainder of the project, if you all keep your swim-trunks near by, at the end of the day, or even on your lunch break, you can all go have fun in the pool, okay?"

"Are you serious? Thank you so much."

Regina made her way over to her father at the end of the day, after all the workers had left and she made sure they'd taken all the pizza home with them and some of the sodas.

Other soda's were put into the fridge that Regina already had installed into her area seeing as the kitchen had already been tiled and painted.

"Everything going well, Regina?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, I just... daddy, you haven't said much to me about Kathryn. Are you really okay with us being together?"

"Yes, I'm very okay with it," he said. "I'm happy that you're happy, I'm happy you've found love, especially with it being your best friend. I admit, I was a little hesitant at first, with the fact she's a girl... but that's only because of the way I was raised, how people were so against it... how people are still against it. But Regina, you are my daughter, and all I want it your happiness."

Regina has tears in her eyes as she hugged her father tight.

"Thank you, daddy," she whispered, kissing his cheek. "I love you too."

"I love you too, darling. Now, I believe I saved us some Hawaiian and some supreme pizza before they got taken and eaten, shall we go heat up a few slices?"
