[In person, so she can hear what a terror her son was. He probably gets it from her, but she doesn't know what he was like before he turned ten. Who knows what Henry got into as a baby?
Keys, Graham?]
We'd both have a lot to learn. And trust me, I'm not saying I expect anything. I'm just not afraid of the possibility of us learning together.
( what else was he gonna shake Emma, doughnuts don't jangle. ngl Henry has probably drooled on his badge though. is that better, as baby appropriate toys go? ...no? )
I'm not sure here is much to tell. He was a better baby than I was a babysitter. I'll try to remember details if you want to hear hem, though.
If that's what our future holds, I'll be ready for it. I don't think there is anything we couldn't face together.
David wasn't born a prince, either. He was a farmer.
[Friendly reminder that the means of his birth doesn't count for a lot when he's married to the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming.]
It's not like we're going to go back and rule the Enchanted Forest, I'm not expecting you to be king someday, Graham. But you're my husband, my family. You'd technically have a title.
by your own account the titles mean little, and let you're being dragged down by it? which is it?
( sorry, Emma, but it either means something or it doesn't... and you're not likely to get the contradiction past the man that married you. )
I've never known you to be dragged down by anything, Emma Swan. any title you take on you learn to master. being a daughter and princess are like to be much the same.

[ And she'll try not to hold the key thing against him.]
That's why I'm not afraid to want a family with you. We're a good team, we'll face our future together.
no subject
not afraid at all? those are bold words, Emma Swan.

You've created a monster, Graham Humbert.
[oops, last name.]

( lbr. He's not wrong. )

I wouldn't mind having a little Swan, you know.
no subject
I know that now. Your last name's not so bad, we could always go for the hyphenate.
no subject
( Graham technically isn't, either, but at least he associates himself with that one. Humbert is... well it's sort of just there. )
no subject
[Don't think that also hasn't entered her parents' minds.]
no subject
I'm not sure why anyone would call me that.
no subject
Because you married up.

( friendly reminder your hubs was raised by wolves. not even a curse gave him a lot of insight on the finer points of royal titles. )

( that makes it easier for him to run around as king. for his part, graham is never going to feel like a prince. )
I like the title I earned. I don't have any interest in one granted by technicalities, being your husband is more than enough for me.

[ it means she gets to tease him about being a prince, basically.]
I'm still learning how to take on most of them. Mother and daughter and wife are the ones that mean the most.
no subject
( you can marry him to a princess but you can't make him willingly take the title of prince!! )
I think you're quite grand at all of those, though arguably I could be biased, since I'm so intensely involved in the last.
no subject
[Probably straight into the bedroom.]
I think we're allowed to be biased about each other.
no subject
( no learn to read graham a firm IRISH tone, there's a difference )
are we? what a relief.
no subject
[ firm IRISH tone.]
I plan to be biased about you for a very long time.
no subject
( she can't hear it, but she got him to laugh. even with a heart he doesn't do that often so bravo, Mrs. Swan. )
a very long time sounds like an achievable goal.
no subject
[ it's pretty great - and would only be made better if she knew she got a laugh out of him.]
I like those.
