I know this isn't the update everyone's been waiting for, but with school and work and moving halfway across the country, it's been kind of a busy month. Besides that, I will update my other fic as soon as possible but until then, here's a little thing I wrote to pass the time in class!
Jumping, Emma looked down at her phone vibrating loudly on her desk, signaling to her that she'd received a text message. Picking it up she flipped it and looked at the home screen it read:
'New Message: Regina Mills'
Unable to help the smile that curled from the corner of her lip, Emma opened the text.
"Will I be seeing you tonight for your lesson, Ms. Swan?" It read.
"Be there as soon as I'm done at the station!" Emma typed out quickly, setting her phone down as Henry appeared in the doorway.
Plopping his bag down on the floor he sat in his usual chair beside Emma's desk and slid a travel cup over to her."Mom thought you could use this." He said grinning as Emma took cup. "We had lunch today at Granny's and I told her you left real early this morning so we got you a coffee before we left."
Taking a sip of the coffee, Emma sighed contently, realizing Regina had asked for it with a hint of cinnamon. "Thanks, Kid." She smiled, as Henry sat back in his chair and looked around. "What are you up to for the rest of the day?" She asked, setting the coffee down and finally getting to a stack of papers she had been ignoring for the past hour while lost in thought.
Henry shrugged as he pulled his GameBoy out of his bag and turned it on. "Gunna level up my Pokémon, and occasionally bug ya while you work."
Laughing, Emma reached over and ruffled his hair. "Who woulda thought a 14 year old boy would want to hang out all day at work with his mom AFTER spending the morning with his other mom." She teased, throwing a paper ball at him.
"Pff, no other 14 year old boy has a Savior AND a Queen for moms." He replied, grinning as he tossed the paper ball that fell into his lap back at Emma.
Looking to the clock on the living room wall, Regina saw it was already pushing 11PM. Setting her book down on the table, the brunette sighed, wondering why she hadn't at least received a call to cancel the lesson. Deciding she might as well go to sleep, Regina stood from the couch, shutting off the living room light and sighing as she walked out into the entry hall. Just as she reached the foot of the stairs, she heard a quick knock on the door, then shuffling on the mat.
"You're late." Regina said, having opened the door as Emma had been down the steps of the porch already, her head hung low, hands in her red leather jacket pockets.
Stopping the blonde turned and met the other woman's gaze. "I'm sorry! I got caught up in work. I came as soon as I realized what time it was." She said, hoping that Regina wasn't too mad at her for not having called or anything. Staring at the stunning woman in front of her for a moment, Emma sighed and continued to apologize. "I can uh, I can go... We can just do this tomorrow night isnte-"
"You're already here. Come in." Regina said, her chest tightening slightly as she watched Emma enter, attempting, and failing, at hiding a smile.
Giving the blonde a head start, Regina smiled as she closed the door, not having realized that her and Emma's entire encounter had been seen from across the street.
