Title: Thats How You Get The Girl

Summary: Literally Taylor Swifts song "How You Get The Girl" from her new album 1989.

I don't own Once Upon A Time.


Emma was there in front of Regina's doorstep shaking from the rain pouring over her looking straight ahead not even bothering to knock on the door. She came here running from where her bug decided to brake down, it took her exactly five minutes to figure out what she had to do to make it to Regina's house.

She left exactly six months ago without previous notice, she just did what she was best at, she ran. The only thing left behind was a simple piece of paper left at Regina's bedside table, only two words written in blue ink; "I'm sorry" that's all she could muster at the time but as her bug roared and she cried she thought of a lot more things to say to the only woman she ever loved. And that's why she ran, six months ago she was scared even to the thought of falling in love with the brunette but now, now she was here to finally tell her what she felt something she should have done a long time ago.

"Are you insane" the person in front of her said and she was startled, she didn't even notice the door open to reveal a confused Regina looking at her with surprise in her eyes. "It has been a long six months" she said and Emma didn't note any venom in her words just sadness and she winced slightly.

She shook a little bit from the cold and the first thing that came to mind was, "I'm sorry" she said.

"You already said that, no actually, you wrote that." Regina notices the slight shaking in the blonde in front of her, she took a step to the side and with her head she signaled the blonde to come in, "Let me get you a towel you're soaked"

"Thanks" Emma whispered and the brunette just nodded before walking up the stairs to her bathroom. She couldn't believe it, Emma was back, Emma is downstairs she thought. She has been waiting this moment for six long months, for the woman she loves to come back and finally it has come. She has never stop loving Emma, and after reading the note she left she cried and has cried every night since then but something told her Emma was coming back. And finally she has.

Finally she made her way downstairs towel in hand and some old clothes the blonde left. She found Emma still standing where she left her, looking around the foyer. She smiled at the blonde who smiled a shy one back. She handed the towel and the clothes, "the bathroom is that way, but you already knew that" she said and Emma nodded. Walking over to the bathroom she looked at every little detail inside the woman's house, of course she knew the house like the back of her hand but things have changed in the past six months like the new picture that was placed on top of the chimney. It was her and Regina, the brunette wearing a cheeky grin looking at the camera while the blonde smiled looking at her. Emma remembers that day perfectly, it was the day she ran. She sighed and kept walking towards the bathroom.

Regina that was watching Emma like a hawk saw how the blonde stopped in the middle of the living room and looked at the picture she had put down a week after Emma was gone. That picture reassured her that Emma was coming back, that look the blonde had she had seen once in her life and it was in herself when she looked at Emma. When the blonde was finally out of eye reach she went into her study and poured herself a glass of cider downing it in one shot. She poured herself another and Emma one of whiskey.

When Emma reemerged from the bathroom wearing an old pajama she looked around the foyer before going to the brunette study where she found Regina holding an old photo in her hand. She walked slowly towards the brunette and when she was at hand reach she placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Do you remember how it used to be?" Regina asked not looking at Emma, "do you remember the pictures, the shy kisses?"

Emma nodded gulping already feeling tears start to form on her eyes, yes she remembers everything and everything is what made her comeback to the woman she loves.

"Then why did you go? Why Emma, why?" Regina asked, tears going down her cheek looking at green orbs.

A tear fell down Emma's right cheek, "I was afraid." She whispered, "I was afraid, so I ran."

"But what are you afraid of?" Regina asked.

"You better than anyone know I've never trusted in anyone besides myself and I was hurt so many times when I was younger I didn't learn how to love. So that night I realized something very important and it scared me shitless, so I did what I was best at, I ran. And I'm sorry I did." Emma said her voice cracking because of the tears.

"What did you realize? What was so scary that made you run?!" Regina said almost screaming.

"I realized that, that I want you for worse or for better. I realized that I Love You and at that time it scared me so much, I've never loved anyone as much as I love you." Emma said staring into brown orbs.

"What..." Regina asked dumbfounded. She imagined this moment for a long moment but it was nothing like this; this is so much better.

"Yes Regina I love you and I know I lost my mind when I left you. And this six months have been torture for me, thinking of you all day and night." She took Regina's hands and when the brunette didn't pull back she interlaced their fingers. "I know I broke your heart when I left but please give me a chance to put it back together, I'll wait forever if I have to." Emma said an inch away from Regina's lips.

"I don't want you to go." Was all Regina said before closing the gap and crashing Emma's pink lips with her own. Emma's hands went to Regina's waist and Regina's hands circled Emma's neck while tongues battled for dominance. Soon enough they were on the couch Regina sitting on Emma's lap, the blonde taking Regina's shirt off to kiss down her neck.

"Emma please touch me," she moaned and Emma smirked. She lifted Regina up eliciting a yelp from Regina and strong legs to circle her waist. Emma walked upstairs to Regina's bedroom and placed her gently a top the queen sized bed.

"I will." Was all the blonde said before starting to take Regina's pants off.

They made love until the sun came up and Regina made sure Emma was never going to run again. And there, Regina on top of her sleeping soundly her ear against her heart, Emma knew where she belonged, where she always has belonged. A lazy smile appeared on her lips before drifting off.

"I want you for worse or for better

I would wait for ever and ever.

Broke your heart I'll put it back together

I would wait for ever and ever."
