She hadn't been sleeping lately. It seem like whenever one villain died, a new one arrived. "This is really getting old," Emma exclaimed as she let out the breath she had been holding, before rolling over in bed to face Killian. He had been sleeping so peacefully. Instead of annoying him with her restless twists and turns in bed, she thought she'd make herself a nice cup of hot cocoa. So she went for it. Emma tip toed her way down the stairs making sure not to wake up anyone. She knew Henry and Regina were sharing a room upstairs while her parents were sharing a room down stairs. At the beginning of this whole underworld living situation, Emma thought piling all of her loved ones under one roof wouldn't work. Regina and Hook would probably kill each other before Hades ever could. Somehow they have slept here for 13 nights without catastrophe striking. Well aside from the monster ripping the roof off, everything else had been decent. She grinned as she reached up into the cupboard to grab her favorite yellow happy face mug which was coincidently here too, only with a sad face outside of it. As she bent down to refill the kettle she noticed it was already hot.

"Can't sleep?" Regina asked, causing Emma heart to stop long enough for a heart attack. She turned around and quickly spotted the mayor lazily sipping on a cup of hot cocoa while sitting on a bar stool. "Neither can you, Emma replied mockingly. She loved teasing Regina. I guess it was from years of them spatting and disagreeing about every little thing a person could disagree on. How did she not see Regina sitting in the kitchen though? She would've been pretty hard to miss. She appeared it have been wearing one of Emma's old shirts that Emma had left at Mary Margaret's apartment after her move. "I hope you don't mind I borrowed your shirt. We're pretty much the same size you know," Regina added. Regina was clearly wearing the blue dress shirt better than Emma ever could. It was covering all the right places while at the same time, exposing all the right places.

Emma poured herself a cup and quickly joined Regina. She jotted up out of her stool only to add marsh mellows which Regina thought was simply childish. They talked quietly amongst each other for a while. They were whispering and drinking the hot cocoa and before Emma knew it, the dusty red light from the broken blinds began to illuminate the lower level of the apartment. She could see more of Regina's face. Even without make up and a fancy suit Regina was simply beautiful. She had part of her hair behind her ear and the rest of it wrapped around her neck. Emma didn't realize she was studying the queen's face, eyes, lips, nose, one of her bare shoulders, and lord everything!

She could tell the conversation was slowing down because she wasn't responding. Well she was nodding her head and saying "uh huh" a lot. She learned that trick in junior high, but other than that Regina's words sounded more like gibberish, sexy gibberish.

Before she knew it, Regina had finally stopped talking. Regina was staring at her with a look of confusion. Emma couldn't help sinking deep into Regina's brown eyes. Let's face it, she isn't a great swimmer, and at that moment not even a lifeguard could save her. Like a trance, yes a trance. Did Regina put a spell on me? Emma thought as she slowly looked away towards Regina's perfect face. Her body must've moved faster than her thoughts because before she knew it, the palm of her hands were caressing Regina's smooth cheek. Regina didn't pull back, she only looked at Emma more intently with her mouth slightly parted. Emma went for it. Laying a sweet innocent kiss on Regina's lips. Her lips felt amazing. Like soft rose petals. Then for a split second she opened her eyes only to see that the room was no longer a dusty red, but a beautiful blue. That didn't matter because now someone was shaking her awake from what was the best dream of her entire life.

Hi babe, Emma said as she opened her eyes and looked at Killian who was pacing around the room while re attaching his hook. "I thought I'd let you sleep in while I use the water overhead machine first."

"It's called a shower Killian," Emma smiled as she watched him head out. Hurry so you can join us for some morning food, Killian said as he kissed her on the cheek before heading down the stairs. For a brief second Emma was happy or content, until the memories from last night came flooding back into her brain. She had kissed Regina. It felt so damn real and simply right, like home. Killian had literally just awaken her from heaven. But it was a just a dream, Emma thought as she began to run her shower. She had been having dreams that have felt real and have come true, but this dream was impossible. Regina was in love with the forest dude, and Emma was just starting to see herself with Killian, forever….right?
