7:30 am.
No morning birds, it was more like morning beeps and her hand shot off the white silk covers so hit the snooze button. More like the shut up button. But Regina didn't care, she sat up groaning and rubbing the slick sleep of her eyes.
Funny, because she could barely get any of that last night. Some damn dog was howling all night outside her house in the forest somewhere.
She got ready for the day and went down the stairs. Her house was empty. With Robin off to live with pregnant Zelena and Henry off to spend his weekend with Emma, who was avoiding the pirate, the mansion had become very quiet and lonely. Obviously that the reason was Emma. She started using Henry as an excuse to get away from Lily and Hook. Regina felt a bitter taste as the dragon blood ex of the blonde appeared in her mind. She should have known Emma was bi. Or her radar was way too broken. She shrugged her own ridiculous thoughts off her shoulders where they seemed to be whispering into her ears, like if she cared about these people. Only Henry. Just Henry.
Yup.
As she went on her business, preparing coffee and etc, her eyes drifted to her lawn. What she saw had her drop her coffee mug that clattered into the sink and she stumbled back. There was a naked figure on her lawn, sprawled near the back door in all its naked glory. She stood there bracing herself against the counter taking deep calming breath before she strutted outside.
As she neared the body she froze at the sight of the unique blonde curls.
"Oh you got to be kidding me, MISS SWAN!"
The body flinched and curled into itself. A long whine sounded from the body.
"Five more minutes" Emma mumbled stretching herself on the grass like a hippie. Regina raised a brow as she looked upon the blondes body. From the pale neck, straight ball shoulders, the small pearl breasts, down to the toned torso and the long strong legs covering her lady part.
Regina hummed and looked back at Emma's face that was peaceful and drooling on her lawn. She nudged Emma on her back with her Jimmy Choos and yelled.
"SWAN! EMMA!"
Emma eyes snapped opened and the blonde searched through the grass for a sheet or a mattress or a freaking pillow!
"Regina?"
Emma asked hoarsely as she turned to her back and stared at the smirking brunette with wide eyes.
"Why I'm on your lawn?"
Regina smirked down at Emma.
"I was going to ask you the same thing dear, along with why you're naked"
Emma spazed and covered herself with her arm and hand.
"What the fuck!?"
Regina chuckled as the pale skin became red with embarrassment and she magicked a blanket throwing it to Emma.
"Cover yourself Ms Swan no one likes flashers, also you'll get hypothermia" she finished with slight concern.
Emma took the blanket and quickly stood covering herself. She mumbled a thanks and stared at her feet.
"I- I don't know what happened" Emma said looking up at Regina with a shake of head.
"Maybe you were drunk-"
"No, I didn't drink last night"
Regina looked at the trouble blue- green pools, that reminded her of the sea with battling waves that warned that a storm was coming, and stepped aside motioning Emma to go inside. Emma nodded and dragged her legs into the mansion. They felt tired, limp, over used and cramped.
"Maybe your magic fired" Regina suggested as she re-locked the door. Emma propped herself on the counter even though it shot a strong pain through her legs making her hiss lowly.
"Maybe, Oh... thank god I woke up here" Emma whispered to herself, rubbing her face. Regina raised a brow and served two cups of much needed coffee. She offered one to Emma who thanked her with a smile and Regina took a sip of hers.
"Really? You hate me that much that I have to wake up to find you sprawled naked on my lawn" Regina scoffed and Emma laughed breathily.
"No, I meant that if I woke up anywhere else it would have been much worse"
Regina chuckled and shook her head amused by the situation.
"Just try and figure out what it was"
Emma nodded and grinned sheepishly at the blanket.
"Can you magic some cloths?"
Regina smirked darkly.
"Of course dear" and with a wave of her hand she poofed Emma, to the middle of town. Just with the blanket.
Regina chuckled as she continued her day.
Day 004
Regina opened the drapes of her room and glared at the sun. She changed for the day and knocked on Henry's door. Death opened the door and Regina smirked at her son.
"Morning" she whispered leaning to her son. It broke her heart to see that even with her heels, her son was a little taller than her.
But now is his hunched zombie like position, they were the same height, if Regina was wearing some killer heels like she was.
Henry groaned something and closed his eyes happy as Regina kissed his nose. Once the boy shuffle into his bathroom Regina went to prepare breakfast.
She had the awful feeling that something was outside and she looked through the window and.
"Oh for god sakes" she growled and opened the backdoor again.
This time Emma was beneath one of their chairs, curled in a fetus like position, so tucked in that it didn't seem human. Regina raised her eye brows impressed by the blonde's apparent flexibility.
Emma had her head lolled out of her bundle of limps and was snoring, with a thin line of shinning drool leaking through the side of her cheek.
Let's be clear that Emma was very much naked.
"Emma!" Regina hissed and nudged the sheriff with her heel.
Emma whined and untangled her tired limbs stretching on the floor. Regina ripped her eyes away from the tone body and stared at her apple tree.
"Mm... 'egina?" Emma husked out in a deep, sexy, sleep laced voice and Regina feels herself getting hotter. She grumbles at her body's reaction and shuts her eyes tightly close, letting out a long sigh as if to cool her system before opening her eyes to glare at Emma.
"Miss Swan... Is this going to be a problem"
The mayor asked in her ol' mayoral tone as threw a blanket, the same one from before, and Emma slowly covered herself.
With a groan the blonde protested.
"Why the hell is this happening?!" She yelled and passed a hand through her hair.
With an air of disgust and a scrunched nose, Emma pulled a twig from her blonde tresses and Regina lifted a brow amused.
Emma glared at her feet and clutched the blanket tighter. Clenched white teeth muffle the sound that Emma made, though it sounded like a grumble and Regina takes a step closer.
"Excuse me?"
"I woke up here two days ago and yesterday I woke up stuck between your bushes" the blonde confessed with a pout that almost melted a bit of Regina's heart. Almost.
"So you're saying you have a thing for coming to sleep to my house, naked, at night?"
Emma blushed at the question and grumbled again.
"it's not like I remember anything! All that I know it's that I go to sleep in my pajamas, on my bed and I wake up on your lawn NAKED!" Emma stressed out and accompanied her words with wild hand movements.
Scarlet painted lips opened to answer sassily but Henry came out with a furrowed brow.
"Moms?"
Regina saw how Emma's worried and stressed face was immediately transformed and her worries masked with a bright smile that could light up Maine's grey skies. The power of a mother.
"Hey kid!"
Emma said and walked up to Henry who stared at her confused.
"Ma what are you doing here?Are you in pajamas?" He asked and Regina walked closer with raised brows.
"I came here because... I'm feeling sick and I don't know what it is so maybe your mom knew... And you know me sick, always in pajamas" Emma half lied and stared at Regina. Henry seemed to accept it and he scrunched his nose.
"Ew no, I can't get sick I'm in finals... I have to go to school , bye" he said and avoided Emma as she leaned to kiss his cheek and instead half hugged her.
After the kid kissed Regina goodbye and left, the mayor took her sherif into her house and offered the woman a coffee. Emma shuffled in the kitchen with her blanket.
"Can you please ... Help me" Emma begged softly and Regina swallowed hardly.
Regina nodded and waved her hand and Emma was now sporting a wooly white turtle neck and black skinny jeans with the blonde's black boots.
"Thanks" sighed the blonde and started stretching her tired limbs. Regina watched her closely.
Emma looked practically the same, the air that clogged around her of darkness from when the Queens came here had left once Lily arrived. The thought of the brunette angered Regina more than she could admit. Regina let out a deep breath only for her to hear but Emma's head snap up to look at her.
"What?" The blonde asked and Regina frowned.
"what was what?"
Regina asked.
"That sigh" Emma accused and there was a brown eye rolling.
"I don't know what is wrong with you, you look fine, I mean more tired than usual but considering you've been running around at night..." Regina trailed off with a shrug and Emma sighed pinching her brows.
"i don't know Regina... I go to sleep and I wake up here, Fucking naked, my fucking body hurts everywhere and I'm fucking hot" the blonde whine and pulled the sweater over her head leaving her in a tank top. Regina raised a brow as the blonde look down at her toned torso.
"Your breasts look fine Ms Swan" Regina said bored as the blonde kept staring at them. If Regina was honest, the blonde's tits looked perfect.
"It's not that... It's that... I used to have a... Huh... I guess it healed" Emma rambled and looked at Regina with confused green.
"Injury?" Regina asked getting closer to Emma and Emma licked her lips taking a step back.
"Yeah... It healed apparently ... Well go body" Emma chuckled and sighed.
Regina rolled her eyes again but her lips tipped up. She was curious about what Emma meant and how the woman seemed to keep a certain distance between them, so the only way that the blonde would open up to her was one, Food.
"Fine we can go to Granny's and then to Gold" Regina suggested.
A flash of worry went through the blondes face.
"Granny's?"
Regina frowned and crossed her arms as she walked closer to Emma and this one again backed up.
"Is there something wrong with granny's Miss Swan?"
Emma shook her head and pulled out a charming smile.
"No ... No it's fine, lets do that"
Regina narrowed her eyes as the blonde walked out and she heard the front door open. The mayor got her jacket and purse before joining the blonde at the Mercedes. Emma seemed fine in her tank top as if the cold weather didn't bother her at all.
They got into the slick black Mercedes and drove in utter silence. Emma was tensed and pressed against her door. Her body was coiled away from Regina and the blonde was pinching her nose. What impressed Regina the most was the thin sheet of sweat covering the pale face.
"Emma... Are you alright?" Regina asked softly and green eyes fluttered.
"Yeah yeah... Do you mind if I roll down the window?" The Sheriff asked, it came out like a hard pant. There were beads of sweat rolling down Emma's face and Regina turned off the heater.
"Go right ahead" the mayor said a bit stunned by Emma behavior. She must have a fever, Regina thought. Her worry for the blonde sky rocketed.
With the window rolled down Emma pulled her face out and relaxed. Just a bit, but she was less tense.
The Mercedes parked in front of the diner and the tight coil that the sheriff had become sprang out. Emma practically ripped the door open and stepped outside taking deep breaths. As if she had been choking the whole ride.
"Emma!" Regina hissed, it came out with that little 'ah' at the end of the name, and walked quickly to the blonde side. Emma halted her by raising a hand.
"I'm okay, I'm okay... I just needed fresh air" Emma gasped and took a deep breath wincing.
"Oh god I can smell the fries from here" at that, the mayor raised a brow.
"What?"
Emma shook her head and let out groan as she doubled over.
"Between your perfume and the fries-grease, whatever that is ... I'm gonna throw up" Emma muttered and Regina frowned. The mayor slowly brought her wrist to her nose and took a wiff. Her perfume was there, as sweet and prominent as it had always been, it never, ever, bothered Emma before. Not only that but the blonde could smell the fries from the diner.
That part didn't worry Regina as much. Emma always seemed to have a sixth sense for food.
The brunette waited patiently as Emma recomposed herself and the blonde did with one last breath.
"Are you okay?" Regina asked worried and the blonde smiled up to her friend.
"Yeah"
Emma walked closer to Regina and took the brunette's hand. Their magic buzzed and melded together naturally and deliciously. Regina shivered lightly and smiled.
"Are you sure Swan?"
Emma pulled out a smile, it was slightly forced, Regina noted but the brunette knew Emma wasn't feeling so good.
"Let's get some fries!" Emma enthusiast and lets go of the silky olive hand. Regina touched her hand slightly, with a whisper touch and sighed with a soft smile. She had to admit she loved those small intimate touches Emma did to calm her. They understood each other.
'Unique' Emma's voice whispered in her mind and Regina smiled reminiscing.
"Regina!"
And the moment was shattered as a blond man appeared with a charming smile. Emma walked closer to Regina and glared darkly at Robin. If Regina hadn't been so caught up with the sudden appearance of the man she would had realized the glare that Emma was giving was the same dark glare she gave Lily as she pointed the gun all that time ago.
"Robin" Regina breathed and took a step closer to the man. Emma watched, tensed with a clenched jaw.
Robin came next to Regina with a bright smile and the brunette felt her lips tilt up a bit. But her mouth felt sour, this man kept pushing her out, whatever they had, it had shuttered the moment he yelled at Regina. He didn't believe her while Emma did.
Unique.
Suddenly, with a flash of gold, Emma stood in front of Regina and pushed Robin. The man staggered back forcible and yelled.
"What the hell is your problem Swan?!"
"what the fuck are you doing here" the blonde growled. Regina's mouth fell slightly open at the sheriff behavior, her voice was low and dangerous and her body language was tensed and slightly hunched. All in all, the blonde ooze with menacing fury.
Robins blue eyes widen with horror and Regina frowned. The man was scared, he was dead scared of Emma.
"Emma?" Regina said evenly with an edge but Emma didn't even turn. Instead the blonde stalked closer to Robin. She seemed bigger and there was a dangerous air around her. Robin backed and raised his hands up.
"Calm down Swan, I came to speak to Regina" he said slowly and there was a tremble in his voice.
"The fuck you will, you lost that privilege when you left her for her sister" Emma growled out and Robin open his mouth and took a menacing step forward but he stopped dead cold. Regina saw as Robin's pale skin became white and his eyes widen more.
The thief with so called honor didn't spare Regina a glance as he turned and took off in a sprint, looking back only once at Emma as if to see if she was chasing him, before speeding off into the forest. Regina didn't know what the hell just happened instead she grabbed Emma's shoulder and forced her sheriff to look at her.
Emma was furious, if looks could kill Regina understood why Robin ran away.
"What the hell Emma" regina asked in a low dangerous voice that resembled The Evil Queen.
"you deserve better Regina" Regina's heart fluttered but the mayor became angry.
"That's for me to decide Miss Swan" she said firmly and Emma pulled from regina with a shake of head.
"He left you" Emma said angrily and got in Regina's space. The mayor glared at Emma and this one retracted.
"Believe me Miss Swan I know exactly what he did, it still doesn't give you any right to jump into my defense like that" Regina said with cutting edge and Emma winced.
Emma suddenly became small with a soft whine. It was like the blonde did a whole 180 turn and was now a cowering child who got scolded.
"But you're... You're my friend Regina... I don't like seeing you hurt" Emma whispered with soft pleading green eyes. Those eyes that softened and pleaded just like Henry's. Those eyes that, just as their hazel one their son possessed, were Regina's weakness.
Regina let out a soft sigh and the blonde smiled softly because of it.
"Come on Miss Swan, we need to talk and you are hungry" Regina said rolling her eyes and changing the subject. The mayor walked up the steps with the sheriff following her like a pup.
"How did you know I'm hungry? Are you in my mind Madam Mayor?" Emma teased as they reached the door. Regina turned her was to see over her shoulder and smirked at Emma.
"Maybe more than you'd think, Sheriff Swan" she whispered back and winked before entering the establishment with a blushing Emma on toll.
