"Emma do you not realize how extremely awkward this is going to be? I mean yes, your parents and I have started to get along better after the Zelena issue, but still. Your mother doesn't like the idea of us together." All I could do was smile at Regina. "What?"
"You're so adorable when you're nervous." I went to stand by the brunette and wrapped my arms around her waist. "It'll be fine. Trust me. Henry loves us together and I love us together. That's all that matters. David has come to the realization that I'm going to be with you no matter what so he's just going to be happy for us." I paused a second. "I do find it hilarious that the men we both dated ended up together."
"Yes. What does that say about us?" Regina slid her hands up my arms slowly and came to rest her arms around my neck.
"That we were eventually going to end up together?" I paused. "Shall I invite them to Thanksgiving? I mean, besides each other and Roland they don't have anyone else besides us."
"Since Hook doesn't hit on you any longer yes we can invite them. And Roland likes Henry so that will work out." I smiled at my gorgeous queen. Little did she know what else I had planned for this family Thanksgiving. "What are you grinning at?"
"Nothing." I kissed Regina quickly. "I think the pumpkin pie is done. Let me take it out so we can warm the turkey." I let my arms fall and went over to the oven. The pie was a golden brown with just a little bit of dark around the crust. I brought it out and placed it on the cooling rack by the sink.
"We've become quite the team when it comes to the kitchen. I cook and you help and clean. Though," Regina came up behind me and pushed hair away from my neck. "We're quite the team in other areas too." I shivered at the seductive purr Regina's voice had gone down to. I jumped slightly when the coolness of the whip cream hit my heated skin. Regina made a line from my shoulder and up my neck. Slowly, she ran her tongue up the line of cream. I didn't dare move and she quite enjoyed the whimper that came from my throat. "I do love Thanksgiving, you know?"
"Yes but that's the third bottle of whip cream this week. I'm pretty sure the people at the store know we're not using it just for desserts." I had to keep my hands on the counter so my knees wouldn't buckle.
"Not for desserts they can have anyway. You're my special dessert that only a queen can have." I shivered again as Regina ran her hands along my curves. She loved seducing me when she knew my parents were about to come over. Regina was evil but in a different way; a way that I hated to love. I moaned as she started to kiss and nip at my neck. We both groaned when there was a knock at the door.
Clearing my throat quickly I ducked under Regina's arm and headed for the door. I slipped into a long sleeved shirt to cover the tank top. "H-hey guys." Hook watched me skeptically as he and Robin walked in.
"Really love? The two of you have been together almost a year now and you still can't keep your hands off each other?" Hook chuckled as he hung his coat.
"Well I couldn't either when Regina and I…"
"Boy I will punch you in the throat if you finish that sentence." I glared at Robin and his hands went up in surrender.
"Yes ma'am." Robin's eye grew wide. It wouldn't be the first time we've gotten into a fight over Regina. Now, though, we get along fine. Since him and Hook got together he's been rather likeable.
"Easy dear. I don't want blood on my floor. And you've already broken his nose once." Regina chuckled as she joined us in the foyer. "Hello Hook, Robin." They said hello and followed us into the kitchen. "Where's Roland?"
"He's with Henry at the Charmings. He'll be coming with them soon." Robin leaned against the island. When his eyes shifted towards the pie I threw a dishtowel.
"Stay away from the dessert until after we eat." Hook snickered and hung his head in defeat. "You know Regina would kill us both if you ruined something she cooked."
"She's right dear. Emma's been punished quite a few times for trying to steal a bite of something." She glared at me playfully. "And she didn't enjoy said punishment either." I could feel my cheeks turning red. Hook and Robin just laughed at my embarrassment. "So, when will the un-charmings be here?" With Regina, that's just become a joke since she still can't stand their optimism. I don't blame her either.
"They should be here anytime now. Can I help set the table?" Robin pushed himself off the island and walked towards a cabinet.
"Yes, please give the pirate a hand would you?" I snorted at Regina's choice of words. She didn't hate him any longer but some habits die hard. As I set the turkey on the table I heard Mary Margaret and David walk in.
"Hey guys. We're ready to eat." Henry and Roland came running in and took a seat at the table. The rest of us joined them soon after. Robin cut each of us some turkey as we passed the rest of the food around. It was quite enjoyable small talk over amazing food. Once we were done, I became extremely nervous. "Regina," I bit my lip and took a deep breath. "I've known you for years now and I know we have a very complicated past, but I love you more than anything. We've lived together for half a year now and I've loved every second of it." I slid down to one knee and pulled out a gorgeous ruby ring. "Regina Mills, will you do me the honor of becoming your wife?"
