The next morning, Emma woke up next to Regina and smiled. Her arm was lying over the brunette's bare waist and her leg was between the other woman's. There was a peaceful look on the darker features in front of her and Emma leaned forward to kiss Regina's full lips. Once their lips touched, Regina's mouth turned into a smile and she leaned her forehead against Emma's, opening her eyes.

"Good morning, dear," Regina said softly. "How did you sleep?"

"The best I ever have in my life. I could get used to this."

"Me too. I need to get breakfast and a shower, though."

"No, stay, we don't have Henry today and it's our first stay over since Neverland, just stay in bed with me."

"You being here is a small reason to stay in bed, I'm going to need more though, dear."

Emma grinned and moved the arm that was resting on Regina's waist. She put her hand on the bed next to the brunette and moved to straddle the brunette. She slowly laced each hand with the brunette's next to Regina's head on the bed. She moved her upper half down so that their faces were centimeters apart. Her lips moved gently against Regina's. Their mouths melded together as though they should never part, and Emma never wanted to. She moved her right hand to the face below her and held it tenderly.

"How's this on the track for motivation?" Emma whispered before moving her mouth back against Regina's.

"Mmm, delicious," Regina moaned between kisses from the blonde. The two moved with each other for several moments but were interrupted by Regina's phone ringing. The brunette pulled it from the nightstand and saw that it was Henry and answered.

"Hey mom, I was just checking to see how you and ma are?"

"Henry, sweetie, it's really early. We were about to make breakfast." She responded sweetly, knowing that at his young age he would hopefully have no idea what they would be up to.

"Sorry, you're usually up really early."

"I know, dear. Emma, however, is a late sleeper and I'm having issues getting her out of bed." Emma chuckled softly next to Regina at the comment. "But, I'll make her call you when she does, ok, sweetie?"

"Love you mom!"

"I love you, too, Henry." Regina tossed the phone to the side, letting it drop to the floor.

"Can't get me out of bed, eh? I think it's more like you don't want to get me out of bed."

"Maybe, but I don't think our son needs to know that. I said it merely so that he would make sure to tell your mother and it would give her an ulcer, or something."

"You drive me insane." Emma said the words jokingly, but Regina smirked and kissed her, pushing against her and flipping the blonde onto her back so that she could be the one hovering. She pressed her lips to Emma's, licking the blonde's bottom lip to gain entry to her mouth. Lips parted, Emma's tongue pushed back against Regina's. The brunette moved her hands down the lithe body beneath her; there was nothing for her to remove from the body, as the women had never gotten redressed.

"You were saying?" Regina whispered as Emma's body shivered with pleasure beneath her. Soon they were making love, and Regina especially felt blissful. Emma felt so much love rolling off of her for the other woman, but she felt strange when they were this connected. She felt a strange physical pull to the woman that felt like it was literally in the pit of her stomach, she felt ill if she moved away from Regina, and that bothered her.

The women got up and dressed themselves, heading down to the kitchen. Regina pulled out the fixings to make green pepper, bacon and cheddar omelets for them. Emma sat at the island, watching her, smiling.

"I'm really, really happy, Regina."

"Oh? Is that because I sleep with you and then make you food?"

Emma laughed. "No, I'm still a woman, you know, my needs aren't as primal as that."

"Oh trust me, I know you're a woman. A very attractive, sexy woman."

Emma blushed. "Takes one to know one."

Regina rolled her eyes teasingly at the blonde's young response. "Anyway, you were telling me your needs aren't so primal?"

"Well, that wasn't the point of the conversation that I wanted to bring up. I love you, and I started falling in love with you before I knew what we had was true love, I'm pretty sure I did anyway. You challenged me, all the time, and I hated it, but I found it pretty hot, too. Anyway, being with you now, it makes me so happy. I wish I could explain it better."

"Emma, what are you trying to explain? We know we love each other, and we know how special what we have is, so without all the lavish declarations of love, just say it, dear."

"I don't know. You make me happy, I've never been this happy. This is because of you."

"You make me happy, as well. Now, eat your omelet and maybe I can make you happy in the shower." The brunette smiled, taking a seat next to Emma. She nudged the blonde gently with her shoulder. Emma smiled back at her and the two ate their breakfast in comfortable silence.

When their day was over, they drove separately to the Charming's apartment so Regina could bring Henry home with her. They stood outside at the door for a minute wanting a few more minutes alone before returning to normal, what was normal for them, life. Emma leaned against the wall outside the door, holding one of Regina's hands in her own. She pulled the brunette to her, leaning in to kiss her. When they broke the gentle kiss, Emma rubbed the tip of her nose against Regina's.

"I'll miss you," Emma whispered.

Regina hummed. "When do I see you again?"

"Lunch on Monday?"

"Sounds good, I think I can manage a day and a half without you."

"I'm going to try really hard to."

"You're the one who didn't want to move in," Regina teased.

"Only because I want to take you on another date."

"No. This one is mine. Emma, would you like to have dinner with me on Tuesday?"

Emma nodded enthusiastically. "I would love to, thanks."

Regina placed her hand on Emma's cheek, leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips, a quick kiss, knowing she planned to do it forever. "Have a good night, tell Henry I'm waiting in the car."

Emma nodded and watched Regina walk away from her toward her car. She tried to school her features before going into the apartment, but the second she was inside the door Henry ran into her arms, squeezing her tightly around her back.

"Hey, kid. Your mom is waiting in the car for you," she said, hugging him back.

"You look happy."

"I am happy, kid. Go get your stuff."

Henry walked around the small apartment, gathering his things. While he did so, he continued inquiring. "Did you have a fun date with mom?"

"I did. We had dinner and we watched a movie. Then yesterday she made me breakfast and we baked cookies. Or, she baked them while I watched, but they're there for you. You tell her I said you can have as many as you want"

Henry nodded and hugged her goodbye, calling out to his grandparents a goodbye. Once she shut the door, no one in sight, she leaned against it, smiling like a schoolgirl.

"Good date?" Charming asked, walking into the kitchen.

"Who's asking?" Emma asked.

"Just your dad, wondering why his daughter looks that happiest he's ever seen her."

"Yep. Dad, Regina is wonderful. I know that's probably not a sentiment you hold, but she's really very sweet. And she's really good at cooking, and baking."

"You sound like your father," Snow said, walking into the kitchen. "When he discovered how good I became at cooking here he was quite pleased."

"I know this is weird for you guys, and I appreciate that you're willing to hear me out when I talk about her. I really love her, and it isn't just True Love, it's more. She and Henry, they're everything."

Snow nodded and David smiled. "Emma, we want you to be happy, your True Love is the best way for that to happen. We just don't want her to take you away from us, again," David stated.

"I have my parents, I have my true love and my son, I'm not going anywhere. Even when I move in with Regina, you aren't going to lose me. That is, unless you guys don't accept her, that's your choice, but if you can't accept her, it'll be my choice to make, and I don't want to hurt you guys, but my choice will be her. It will always be her. She's been left too many times, and I won't leave her, I never want to leave her. I love her."

"We understand that, Emma. We won't ever make you choose because that would be cruel, and like you said, you would choose her and that would be a stupid decision for us to ask you to make. I told you it would take time, and it will, but we really will try, Emma."

Emma nodded and went up to get some rest, she hadn't really rested much all day, she was making up for lost time with Regina.

She decided to send Regina a text before going to bed.

I miss you already.

I miss you too, dear. I didn't think I would this much, apparently I was kidding myself.

Damn right you miss me.

Have a good night, dear.

Did you just roll your eyes at me? Don't do that, your face might get stuck that way.

You should use that line on Henry, he might be young enough to still believe it.

It's been nice flirting with you, my love. Sleep well. Dream of me.

Likewise. I love you.

I love you more.

Regina didn't respond to the last message. Let Emma sweat a little, Emma had made her the week that she didn't see or speak to her. Still, she couldn't imagine going to bed happier than she felt right in that moment, not until Emma moved in anyway. She knew Emma wanted to wait a while, and it may even be looked at as sensible, but Regina knew that neither one of them would last much longer without waking up next to each other every morning, and going to bed beside each other each night.
