" I know that you did this big romantic gesture and it was surprising that you broke up my wedding on horse back. That I was not expecting. But I have a confession..." Emma started as she and Regina sat in the forest relaxing by the stream whilst Knightingale drank. Regina who felt more content than she had in a long time, turned to face her.
" What is it, you are worrying me." Regina said noticing that the blonde looked a little nervous. Emma chuckled uncomfortably.
"I uh... Got you a horse. His name is Eclipse, he's beautiful and well quite intimidatingly large. But I think I needed to get him for you. I guess I was right though you looked at home riding Knightingale. I guess I should look for a new home for him. " Emma admitted. She really hadn't been expecting Regina to turn up on the back of a horse to stop her wedding.
"We don't have to find a new home, I could teach you how to ride if you like. I just have one question, did our son help you with all of this. I know what you two are like, this seems like something he'd be in on." Regina asked she was surprised that Emma had found a horse for her.
"Of course he did, he's our kid. I could riding a go I guess, I think Henry would like lessons too. He is brilliant with him. If it wasn't for him I don't think I would of had the ball's to pull it off." Emma chuckled.
"He's grown up so fast. I can't believe he's graduating soon." Regina said with a sad smile. She was already dreading him leaving home. She could tell by the upset expression on Emma's face she felt the same.
"Our boys going to go off in the big wide world. I wonder where he'll go." Emma said with a sad sigh. Regina put her hand on top of Emma's on the grass. Emma flipped it over to entwine their fingers. "You know I would never have imagined us being together, but I'm so glad we realised our mistake. Regina I know I still went along with the wedding but as it came closer to the I do's, I realised I wouldn't be able to say it. I love Killian and he's one of my best friends, I really hate that I hurt him but I can't regret choosing you. You and me... We were fated to be together." Emma said with a small cheesy grin. Regina just chuckled at the goofy blonde.
" I think your right. I was a little nervous of what your reaction would be. I mean we had only shared a few moments. But my time away made me realise. I wanted you and I wasn't willing to just give up. For once I was going to fight for my happy ending. I was sick of lettng my opportunity pass by because I was too scared to take a leap. I'm so glad I leaped for you Emma. I...I love you Emma Swan. It took me a while to come to terms with it all but now I'm going to fight for us, even if it means facing the entire town when we go back. " Regina said knowing the town folk might not see Regina's gesture as romantic.
"If anyone says anything,we set them straight. It's not up to them if we date. It's up to us and considering that I think I've pretty much been in love with you for... A while. I don't think they have a strong argument. I might have been in denial for a long time. Now, I couldn't be more sure we did the right thing. I love you too, more than I thought possible. I mean when you weren't in town I had this constant pit in my stomach, I felt like half my life was missing. The moment you rode through those doors, I knew you were the one, because as soon as I saw your face the hole was filled with butterflys. I know sappy but there you have it. Don't take it for granted I don't do sappy a lot, it's a rare sight. " Emma said with a smirk. Regina sat up and put her free hand on Emma's cheek.
"Sappy looks good on you" Regina said with a soft chuckle and slowly placed her lips on the blonde's. Neither rushed the kiss they just let it flourish natrually. Emma pushed Regina slowly, so the brunette was lay on the grass. Emma followed and lay on top of her. They stopped after a while, Regina held Emma tight to her, noses touching as they tried to get their breath back to it regular pace. Regina smiled softly at Emma, who grinned back.
"Welcome home Madam Mayor, I missed you" Emma whispered and blushed a little. Regina chuckled at the blondes embarrassment.
"Glad to be back Sheriff." Regina said and kissed the blonde. And rolled them over so she hovered over Emma. "Now where was I?" Regina said then teleported them to her small cabin. Neither wanting the night to end.
