Emma and Regina had fought before and soon enough Emma and the couch became enemies so Emma started to lay on the couch and wait for a few minutes before sneaking up to the guest room and sleeping in there and Regina never found out until a certain fight that made the two grow closer. Emma had had a long day at work and just wanted to have a beer, a nice dinner maybe a steak, and spend some time with her wife but of course, the universe just couldn't let that happen. Recently Regina had become curious about the long midnight hours Emma spent out and started to accuse Emma of cheating, Emma had told her it was because of paperwork and house break in's but Regina didn't believe her and ever since their fights have gotten bad, bad to the point they had to have Henry stay over at the Charmings every night. As soon as Emma walked into the house Regina started to ask her why she was out so late leading them to fight. Emma made herself dinner and laid down on the couch and waited for Regina to fall asleep when Emma was sure Regina was asleep she started to sneak up to the guest room but stopped when the thought of ice cream entered her head. Emma walked over to the door put on her boots, red leather jacket, and her gray beanie. Emma closed the door behind her as she started her walk to the grocery store. When Emma reached the white column house she and Regina lived in with Henry she stopped and looked at the white house. As soon as Emma's right foot was over the threshold she was slapped in the faces, Emma rubbed her cheek as she looked up at her wife. "What was that for?"
"You cheated," Regina yelled at Emma as she started hitting her.
"What are you talking about?" Emma asked as she blocked her faces from her wife's vicious attacks.
"You left so you could go see her," Regina said as tears ran down her face and she continued with her vicious attacks.
"What? I left to get ice cream." Emma said as she held up the bag that held the ice cream.
Emma looked Regina in the eyes and could tell she didn't believe her. Emma sighed and showed her the reseat and walked past her to the kitchen. While Emma was putting the ice cream away Regina had walked in and now stood behind her. Emma turned around to meet Regina face to faces and watched as she leaned in to kiss her but was stopped when Emma turned away. "Look, I'm sorry," Regina said as she laid her head on Emma's shoulder.
Emma shrugged Regina off of her shoulder and started her walk to the guest room as Regina followed her when Emma went to step into the guest room she was stopped in her tracks by Regina's hand on her wrist. "Regina let go," Emma said as she turned around. Regina answered with a shack of her head. Emma frowned and ripped her arm out of Regina's grip. That night the two went to bed alone and sad.
***Next Day***Emma was trying to get some of the paperwork Regina had asked her to get done so she could try and prevent another fight, but it was hard to work when she was so angry at Regina. Emma usually let Regina's jealous fights go but you could only take so much. Emma had gotten through half of the paperwork and decided to go out for lunch and when she came back to the station she found Regina looking through the paperwork on her desk. Emma stopped and watched in anger as Regina picked up a piece of paperwork for a new cruiser. Emma walked into her office as soon as Regina set the paperwork down. "What are you doing in my office?" Emma asked as she gathered up all of the paperwork and put it away in the drawer on her desk. "I brought you lunch," Regina answered as she raised a bag.
"I just had my lunch," Emma said.
"Oh, then I guess I brought you your snack or dinner or something," Regina said as she set the bag down on Emma's desk.
"Thanks," Emma said as she looked through the bag.
"Yeah…" Regina trailed off.
"What's wrong?" Emma asked.
"I um, I wanted to tell you I'm sorry about last night." Regina stopped and looked at Emma waiting for approval. "I'm sorry, I'm just worried that you'll stop loving me." Emma looked Regina in the eyes and pulled her close. "I will always love you," Emma said as she hugged Regina. Regina leaned back enough to look Emma in the eyes. "I love you."
Emma smiled. "I love you too." Emma leaned in and kissed Regina passionately. "How about we eat this lunch together?" Emma asked.
Regina smiled and nodded.
***Later That Night***Emma walked into the living room to find Regina sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in her hand and deep in thought. "Regina? You okay?" Emma asked as she shrugged out of her jacket and sat down next to her. "I was just waiting for you," Regina said before taking a sip of her wine. Regina turned towards Emma and pecked her on the lips. "Are you sure?" Emma asked as she pulled Regina onto her lap. "I'm just tired," Regina answered as she set her glass on the table nearly falling before wrapping her arms around Emma's neck and put her head in her neck. "Ya want to head to bed?" Emma asked as she started to rock in hopes that maybe her wife would fall asleep and she could easily carry her to her bed and then slip into the guest room and be able to avoid the hassle of getting Regina to stay in bed and away from the wine, the guest room, and her so she could sleep. "No, I just want to sit right here with you in your arms unless you want to sleep in our room with me and not this couch even though you only stay on it for maybe 3 minutes and then you sneak into the guest room," Regina said as she stared and smiled at the wide eyes of her wife. Emma averted her eyes to the floor as she cleared her throat, Emma took a deep breath before looking back down at Regina to see her smiling amused by how her wife had acted when she was caught red-handed. "Regina, I need time to think," Emma said sadly.
"Emma I'm sorry, I'm sorry of about what I did and I can make it up," Regina said as she sat up with fear in her voice.
"Regina, do you even know how to make it? Do you even know what you did?" Emma said anger creeping into her tone.
Regina looked Emma in the eyes as sadness took over her eyes slowly, "...No." Regina looked away from Emma as her voice was corrupted by sadness.
Emma chuckled before standing up with Regina in her arms, "I'm sorry" Regina said as she rubbed her nose along Emma's jaw. When Emma reached Regina's room she pushed the door open and sat Regina on her bed. "Okay, I'll leave you to do the rest," Emma said as she walked towards the door.
Regina quickly stood up almost falling but was caught by Emma before she reached the ground. "Stay, please," Regina said as she stroked her index finger along Emma's jawline. Emma sighed, "Fine."
Regina pulled away from Emma grabbed her hand and pulled her to the bed.
***Three Days Later***Emma walked into her office with her lunch in hand to find Regina hunched over her computer typing. "Watcha doin?" asked Emma asked as she walked into her office.
Regina stood straight as soon as she heard Emma, "Nothing."
"Really, it looked like you were looking through my computer," Emma said as she walked closer to Regina.
Regina stepped back as she watched Emma look at the computer, "A cabin retreat?" Emma asked as she looked up at Regina.
Regina looked down at her feet, "Yeah...I was hoping that maybe you'd agree to go away with me."
"Yeah, I'd like that," Emma said as she stood up straight and walked to Regina. Emma took Regina in her arms and looked her in her eyes, "I'd love to go away with you." Emma said as their lips brush against each other, Regina smiled before pressing their lips together and quickly pulled away, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I should have asked before I...before I kissed you," Regina pulled herself away from Emma's arms and started to back away from her. "No, no it's okay. I liked-no no I didn't like it," Emma said pausing, Regina's eyes went wide with horror. "She-she doesn't love or want me anymore," Regina thought before she started to head for the door, Emma grabbed Regina before she could get to the door and pulled her into her embrace, "I loved it," Emma said her lips brushing Regina's right earlobe, Regina shivered as Emma's words sunk in. Emma kissed Regina on her ear snapping her out of her thoughts.
***Three Days Later***Emma put the last bag in the back of her yellow bug as Regina walked out of the door of the mansion, "Regina, is that another bag?" Emma asked begrudgingly.
"Yes," Regina said as she walked to the passenger side door.
"Regina, I just put everything away," Emma said throwing her head back.
"Relax Emma it is just the snack bag," Regina said as a warm smile grew on her face. Emma wrapped her arms around Regina and with a pout on her face said, "Why do we need snack's we can just stop on the way."
"Emma it is a 3-hour drive until we see any type of source of food and the full drive is almost 16 hours and with your teenager like stomach you'll probably going to be hungry within 3 minutes if we're lucky," Regina said putting her right hand of Emma's. Emma looked at the bag for a minute before leaning forward to grab the bag but only to have her hand swatted away from her by Regina's hand, "You eat only when you need to." Regina said frowning.
"But-but I am hungry," Emma said reaching for the bag again only to have her hand swatted away by Regina's hand once again, "Gina," Emma whined as she tried to reach the bag again but this time instead of swatting her hand away Regina turned around in Emma's arms and slammed Emma into the bug, "Em-ma darling I'm only going to tell you one more time, you can have some when your hungry," Regina said frustrated with her wife.
"Okay, if I knew this is how you act after 5 day's of no making love I would have done this a long time ago," Emma said smirking.
Regina smiled before grabbing Emma by the collar of her shirt and pulled her down to her level, Emma and Regina were now face to face with their foreheads touching Regina said, "Keep talking like that and we won't be making love for a long time." Regina said smiling. Regina pushed off of Emma and got into the passenger seat."Wow...that's my wife," Emma said happily before walking her way over to the driver side and climbing in.
***Three Hours Into The Drive***Emma ran her hand over Regina's face as she slept. Regina had woken to the feeling of Emma's light touch. "Emma shouldn't your eyes be on the road," Regina said as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"My eyes were on the road even though I wanted to look at something else," Emma said smiling broadly.
"whether or not your eyes were on the road just keep your eyes on the road," Regina said as she shifted to her left side and scooted closer to Emma putting her head on Emma's shoulder. "For someone who wants me to keep my eyes on the road, I would have expected you to know that I need both my arms to drive," Emma said as a smirk made its way onto her face.
***The First Stop***Emma and Regina came upon a diner/gas station and stopped for some food and after learning that their almost 16-hour drive was actually a multiple day drive directions and a map.
"What?" Regina asked frustrated. Regina then looked to Emma with anger in her eyes ready to yell at her about stopped when Emma started to speak, "Hey can we get a map? We seem to be lost considering we just found out that our drive is a number of days depending on how long we sleep, how many stops we make and how much time we spend at the stops." Emma asked in a strong gentle tone.
"Sure, you can get as much food as you need until the next stop," the cashier said as he started for the back. Emma nodded at the cashier before she turned around. Regina stopped her leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, "I'll get the coffee and the healthy snacks and you get the unhealthy snacks you want?" Regina asked as she ran her hand up and down Emma's left arm.
"Yeah, also pillows and blankets and other stuff for when we stay in hotels or just can't make it to a hotel in time for a bed," Emma said.
Regina looked at Emma skeptically, "Did you know about the drive Em-ma?" Regina asked as she grabbed Emma by the collar of her red leather jacket.
"I check out the drive before we started packing and saw that it would take three maybe more days depending on how long we take at these stops," Emma said nervously.
"Stops?" Regina asked.
"There are several stops along the way including hotels and motels and towns," Emma said smiling as she continued, "But if we don't take a lot of time we should be there within three maybe four days again depending on the time we spend at the stops, motels, hotels, getting food, and sleeping. We may not reach a hotel or motel or a city we will have to sleep in the car so I suggest we find a store that carries pillow and blankets," Emma said leaning in close to Emma. Regina and Emma stood there staring at each other for a few seconds before smashing their lips together and quickly pulled away, "We should start getting everything," Emma said looking into the brunette's eyes.
"Yeah," Regina said nodding.
***A Drive-In a Bug***Emma and Regina walked out of the gas stations store and to the bug. "Okay, so I'll get the gas and you get the car ready and check that we have everything?" Emma asked as she unlocked the car and put the bags she had in her hands in the back seat of the car.
"Okay," Regina said as she did as Emma did. Emma walked back into the gas station to pay for the gas while Regina started to check the bag to make sure that they had everything. Emma walked out of the gas station to find Regina pulling a slim jim out of a bag, "Hey, you gone eat that?" Emma asked as she hugged Regina from behind.
"No, I was just getting it out for you," Regina said smiling.
"Why?" Emma asked as she turned Regina around to face her in her arms.
"Because I know you'll be hungry and I didn't want you to reach in the back of the car while your driving," Regina said deadpanning. Emma smiles as she grabs the slim jim out of Regina's hand gently before getting in the car. Emma took a bite of a slim jim, "So we're going to have to go left on until we hit a lane going onto the interstate and take the fourth right exit," Regina said looking at the map and her phone.
"Okay thanks, Gina," Emma said as she set her slim jim on the center console before starting the car and pulling out of the gas station.
[x]
They had been driving for hours and were now stopping at a motel.
"Emma, get off of the bed until I check for bed bugs," Regina said as she pocked Emma in the belly earning a reaction from Emma's muscle but not from Emma, "Emma? Emma?" Regina groaned before grabbing Emma by the ankle's and started to pull. Emma lifted her head and looked back at Regina as she started to pull her off of the bed, "Regina. What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to check for bed bugs," Regina said pulling with all her might, Emma was pulled all of the rest of the way off of the bed and on to the floor, "Ow," Emma whined as she rubbed her back. Regina stood up straight, "Okay, we're fine,"
"You couldn't have asked me?" Emma asked as she stood up and started to walk over to Regina.
"You were asleep," Regina answered pulling Emma into her.
"So you couldn't have woken me up?" Emma asked as she wrapped her arms around Regina and rested her forehead on her's.
"I tried but you were deep asleep," Regina said as she rubbed her noise against Emma's.
"Oh, sorry," Emma said as she leaned in and kissed Regina passionately. Regina pulled away from Emma after a few minutes and smiled up at Emma "Want to go to bed and cuddle while we watch tv?" Emma asked as she rubbed her noise against Regina's jaw.
"Yeah," Regina said pulling Emma's head off of her jaw and hugging her.
