Chapter 2: A cold – Part II
Zelena's Lake House
Emma was now walking over some large plain rocks that created a path to the main door of the lake house. It was a beautiful place, very rustic, dark wood and dark bricks then details of a very dark green, plus it had a healthy grass around it and some bushes, there were no flowers because Zelena just liked the green colour the bushes and the grass had. – This house was actually built with the witch's magic, right after the all dark one thing calmed down and of course before she had her magic locked away by the blue fairy. She thought she needed a new place for a new beginning.
"Lena!" Emma called out as she now reached the door and knocked on it, then encouraged Katelyn to also knock by gently holding her hand and make her softly hit her palm against the dark wooded door.
And in few seconds the redhead woman opened the door with a small closed smile across her face, eyes half closed and a slightly red nose. "Hello my lovelies." She greeted with her British accent.
"Hiii." Emma smiled sweetly when she saw Zelena and heard the greeting. "Mommy!" Katelyn quickly exclaimed when she noticed it was her mother opening the door.
"Yes, munchkin. Mommy's here." Zelena simple gave a weak smile to her daughter before step aside and let the two enter the house so she could close the door. "The pasta is still warm. Let me just put up the table and then we can eat."
"I got you some meds for your cold." Emma turned around to face the other woman once they were inside and nodded her head when Zelena spoke about the food. "Okay, but where's my kiss?" The blonde perked up an eyebrow.
"Love, I am sick." Zelena showed her left hand that was holding a used tissue and then grabbed the bag that contained the meds. "I hope I don't get worse by taking this."
"Aaaand your point is? I still want my kiss." Emma frowned slightly with a pout. "And that's supposed to make you feel better."
"Oh please, don't pout. I just don't want you to get infected." The redhead explained but Emma wasn't going to take no for an answer.
So she approached the other woman nonetheless and tried to kiss her lips but Zelena pressed her palm against Emma's tummy to keep her away as she moved her head to the side. "I am not going to give you a gross sloppy full of germs kiss!" Zelena exclaimed with a raspy voice because of the sore throat.
Emma chuckled lowly at that as Katelyn simple watched them while having few of her fingers in her mouth. "So the witch just doesn't want to give a bad kiss?"
Zelena rolled her eyes and swatted her hand between them. "Not a witch anymore, and no I do not wish to ruin my record full of perfect kisses."
"Well I wouldn't say full-" Emma was about to tease her but then Zelena gasped and gave a fake hurt look. "You know I am joking." Emma grinned and then quickly pecked the taller redhead's lips, not giving her anytime to move back.
And the kiss was indeed sloppy because Zelena wasn't even expecting for it, so she didn't have her lips ready for the kiss. "Emma!" She scolded.
"Sorry." The blonde gave a sheepish smile.
"Mommy." Katelyn was now demanding attention and totally ready to throw a tantrum because she wanted to be in her mother's arms.
"She wants you." Emma pointed out.
"Baby don't cry. Let mommy first clean her hands very well." Zelena said as she looked down at her toddler before quickly go upstairs to the bathroom so she could wash her hands and use the disinfect gel; also to put the meds away.
In the meantime, Emma was trying to calm down a fussy Katelyn who was now already standing on the ground with the help of Emma's hands holding her tiny ones. "Easy there, Kitty-Kat, mommy will be right back." She assured the toddler but obviously Katelyn's fuss only grew and she dropped herself on the ground, not wanting to hold Emma's hands anymore as she began to whimper and pout.
"Mommy's back! No need for all that fuss, munchkin." Zelena said as she was now stepping down the stairs and Katelyn was quickly making her way over her mother by crawling. When they were close enough, Zelena picked her up and tucked her against her hip, slightly lower than usual only because she didn't want the toddler very close to her face.
"Ah, see she just needs you as much as I needed that kiss." Emma grinned as she clapped her hands together behind her back and approached the redheads. "You are very wanted; you know that, right?"
Zelena smiled down at her daughter before look up at Emma when the blonde approached her and basically let her know how much she was wanted, which was something that Zelena needed to hear often because the only people who seemed to want/need her was her daughter and Emma. "As are you, my darling, and what I would want you to do right now is set up the table." The redhead smirked.
And Emma rolled her eyes with a smile. "Okay, I will do it." She placed her palm behind Zelena's lower back to give a soft rub before walk up to the kitchen to get the plates and then to the dining room to set up everything.
Zelena simple played with her daughter by using a small sized cute teddy bear and rub it softly over her chubby nose while making hushed high pitched noises for the toddler who was having fun.
"What is Katelyn going to eat?" Emma called out as she was now placing the glasses.
"I made carrot soup for her." Zelena replayed as she now walked up to the kitchen and gave the teddy bear to her daughter so she could remove the lid of the pot where the carrot soup was.
"Thank god, adults get pasta." Emma muttered as she was first pouring the soup in Katelyn's plastic bowl.
"Some healthy food would do you good." Zelena pointed out as she fixed better her hold on her daughter.
"Hmn, no. I am good like this." Emma wrinkled her nose at the thought of getting soup and then walked back to the dining room to place Katelyn's bowl down and get Zelena's plate before go back to the kitchen. "Tell me when it's enough for you." Emma said as she was now putting the pasta in the plate.
"It's amazing how you stay like that after all the calories you get." Zelena commented as she watched Emma putting the pasta in her plate, she didn't feel like eating much because of this stupid cold. "That's enough." She muttered when she figured she had enough food in her plate.
"Look who is talking." Emma gasped and faked a frown as she stopped putting food in the plate.
"Excuse me, I don't eat like a teenager boy."
"Maybe so but you are very skinny."
Now it was Zelena's turn to gasp. "I am not that skinny."
"I am not complaining!" Emma quickly defended herself as she went to the dining room to place Zelena's plate down and get her own before go back to the kitchen. "Obviously if you gained a little bit more weight, you'd have a great-"
"I think somebody's a step closer of going into fasting." Zelena warned.
Emma frowned slightly at her, wondering what she meant till she realized Zelena was basically threatening her about no more 'sexy time'. "You can't do that!" Emma basically groaned. "Okay, sorry. You are perfect just the way you are, really. Your body is very attracting and your bo-"
"Emma, please. We've got children present." Zelena pointed out and Emma simple got a deep blush upon her cheeks.
"Sorry." She muttered with a small pout as she began to put food in her own plate.
And Zelena smirked at how she made the blonde blush but then she was wondering when was she going to stop putting so much pasta in her plate.
So when she did stop she just gave her a look and Emma looked back at her with a slight frown. "What? I am hungry."
"Of course you are." Zelena gently snorted at that as Katelyn made a high pitched noise to make her presence known and because her teddy bear had fell on the ground, she just chuckled at it.
Emma chuckled as well and bent down to pick up the teddy bear so she could hand it back to Katelyn. "There you go, Kitty-Kat."
"Even the nickname you gave her sounds like a chocolate." Zelena rolled her eyes as she grabbed Katelyn's water cup before go to the dining room.
"Don't hate, it's an adorable nickname." Emma said as she followed Zelena with the plate on one hand and the juice bottle in another. "I gave you a cute nickname too."
"I guess so." Zelena replayed as she put Katelyn in her chair and Emma placed her plate down while pouring juice in her and Zelena's glass.
Soon the couple and the toddler were eating, Emma was the one now feeding Katelyn because Zelena was having another 'invasion' of sneezes. She made sure that the soup wasn't too hot for the little one every time she took a spoon of it. – It was only a matter of time till everybody was done and it didn't take long to get Katelyn asleep for her usual nap, hell the toddler was already all sleepy while trying to eat the soup.
So Emma was in the kitchen, finishing washing the dishes as her girlfriend went upstairs to put Katelyn in her crib. – And when she heard a sneeze, she knew it was Zelena coming back down. "Have you already taken the meds?" Emma asked as she washed the glasses.
"I'll take it later." Zelena mumbled before blow her nose against a tissue.
"I asked my mom which ones were the best, and she pointed out those. So I think they will really help you." Emma spoke before turn off the water.
"We shall see." Zelena shrugged before approach the blonde woman but still kept few steps away.
"You have a serious problem with germs." Emma chuckled lowly when she noticed the distance that Zelena still put between them. "I won't get infected. I am tough." She wiggled her eyebrows in a silly way.
Zelena rolled her eyes before sniff and fold her arms in front of her chest. "I am not taking any chances."
"Oh please." Emma scoffed before approach the taller woman and trap her against the counter by placing her hands over it on the redhead's each side. "I will be fine." Emma mumbled before lean up to kiss Zelena's pinkish lips.
And this time the redhead did not fight it because if she was honest to herself she was dying for a proper kiss; so she just wrapped her arms loosely around Emma's neck and moulded her lips against thin ones while allowing their tongues to just slightly brush against each other before pull her head back. "That's enough." Zelena said with a faint smile.
Emma lowly groaned when Zelena broke the kiss. "I guess that's gotta be enough for the rest of the day." She mumbled with a pout.
"You are still going to work, right?" Zelena asked as she kept her arms around the blonde's neck.
"Yup, things are slow though, but I have to finish this report." Emma shrugged as she now placed her palms on slim sides. "But after finishing the report and spend a couple of hours at the station I could ask my dad to cover the rest of the day for me and then I could come here." Emma suggested before bit the inside of her lip. "That is, if it's okay with you." She didn't want to push it, because even if she spent a lot of nights over, she still didn't have any keys nor Zelena had suggested for Emma to really move in.
"I would love to." Zelena gave a weak smile before lean forward and peck her forehead.
"Great!" Emma exclaimed a bit too excited before close her eyes on the second Zelena pecked her forehead, she liked the sensation and it was a lot easier for the redhead to give her that kind of kiss than Emma to her. "Oh, do you want me to take Katelyn again?"
"Katelyn will be out for a while, so I can manage it." Zelena slowly unwrapped her arms from the other woman's neck.
"Alright." Emma now stepped back as she began to check her pockets to make sure she still had her phone and car keys. – While Zelena went to the entrance to get the leather red jacket from the coat rack.
"Your car keys are in the pocket of your jacket." Zelena informed.
"Oh, thanks." Emma stepped out the kitchen and went to the door before dress the jacket with Zelena's help, who was making sure it was well presentable. "It's a leather jacket, you can't possible remove the all wrinkles on it." Emma pointed out with a low chuckle.
"I can try." Zelena mumbled before give a soft pat on her shoulder. "Well, I will see you later, love."
"See you later." Emma smiled and quickly pecked her girlfriend's cheek before walk out to her car, so she could carry on with the rest of the day and a goofy smile on her face. – While Zelena just leaned against the door, grabbed the edges of her button-less coat and wrapped it better around herself while tucking her hands under her own armpits as she watched Emma leaving.
So! Still good?
