~ 6 Months Later
“Did you know that Snow, her library here is gigantic?”
Regina nodded, “I did. Why were you in there Emma?”
Emma smiled, “I love hearing you say my name, did you know that? Of course, hearing you yell it is its own reward as well.”
Regina shook her head, “Captain Emma Swan, never met a topic she couldn’t dodge.”
Emma laid her head against Regina’s chest. They were still in bed. Henry had gone gallivanting off with his newfound grandfather, and Snow was somewhere in the palace six months pregnant and preparing for her child. Last they’d heard she had been rearranging a whole wing of the palace for him or her.
“Your mother’s prophecy, the one about the shadows and Sith and Jedi and stuff. I was looking that up.”
“Why.” Regina stared down at Emma, who after a beat looked up at her.
“Why? Because it has to do with you, and I love you, and I just said those words out loud instead of in my head and I…”
“I love you too Emma. Now stop stalling.”
Emma laughed, “Right, right, okay… Wait.” She stretched up and stole a kiss. “Okay. Better. You do know that you’ve made me into some sappy Bounty Hunter wannabe you know.”
Regina frowned, “I’m not stopping you from going out there. Doing your job.”
Emma pushed herself up until she sat next to Regina. She took Regina’s hand in her own, “Will you come with me?”
“Will you tell me what you found in your mother’s library?”
Emma closed her eyes,
"The one in the shadows will wed the one from the dormant line
And from them will come the most powerful
One neither Sith nor Jedi
And friend to All.”
Emma opened her eyes and smirked, “Your mother missed the big part of the phrophecy, the part about friend to all. I don’t think it’s about you Regina. I think it’s about us and Henry. And according to the prophecy we’re supposed to wed, get married. ”
Regina sighed, “I hate prophecy.”
Emma hid a smile, “So, that’s a no?”
Regina brushed a lock of hair from Emma’s forehead, “That’s a not yet.”
Emma was silent for a minute, “Works for me. Want to go collect Henry and fly off in Bug? Catch some bad guys, or good guys, or whichever guys we get paid to catch?”
Regina narrowed her eyes at Emma, “We are going absolutely nowhere in that death trap.”
“Well, we’re not going anywhere in your luxury cruiser either.”
Regina gestured to the room around them, “Then I guess it’s a good thing that your parents are the rulers of a planet, because I think we need a new ship.”
“Swan and Mills kicking ass and taking names.”
“As long as in front of Henry we’re Mills and Swan kicking butt and taking names.”
Emma laughed, “I see what you did there, now…”
“Moms?”
Emma closed her eyes, “Yeah kid?”
There was a pause from the other side of the door, “Oh, I’ll come back later.”
Regina silently chuckled and Emma rolled her eyes, “No, no, c’mon in kid, we’re decent.”
Henry peeked his head in, then came all the way in. “Oh man, that was so much fun. This place is awesome.”
“Would you like to stay, or…”
Henry’s eyes lit up, “Or? Or we go with Emma and find people and kick some a…”
“Butt kid, right?”
Henry and Emma shared a look, and then both cracked up laughing. Henry bounced onto the bed, “Oh, this is gonna be so, so much fun.”
Regina winced though she also let slip a wisp of a smile, “I think I regret it already.”
