She walked into the station feeling sore, tired and refreshed all at the same time. Emma had spent the entire week at Regina's. They spent their days working and then had family time at home. Filling it with dinner, movies, board games, and the two nights they went out to watch Henry began practice.

When the house was quiet she'd curl in the sheets with Regina, making love, fast and slow and talking in whispers and promises. She'd loved every moment of it and wished they could be like that forever.

Therefore when Mary Margaret text her asking her to 'come over after work, that it was urgent' Emma was worried but also hoping that whatever it was would not take away from the rest of her weekend with Henry and Regina. She'd only taken the whole week to give her parents a break. Some peace and quiet without her and Henry and their family matters, so they could focus on eachother and baby Neal.

*miss you already my sweet 3 you think we can get a babysitter tonight?*

*miss you too babe, and for what?*

*I want to have a date night*

*I thought every night was date night ;) *

*Every night is wonderful my love but I want to pamper you*

*Well I like the sound of that. What shall we do, we're not exactly out yet*

*We could still do something indoors, you just be home after work*

*Home eh? Love that sound of that even more. I have to talk to my mom after work but I'll try to be 'home' before 7*

*:( ...*

*You make pouting sexy ;)*

*Flattery will get you nowhere Miss Swan*

*Oh, back to Miss Swan are we? a few hours ago I was "fucking amazing"*

*Do not even go there. I have lots of work to get done today*

*But babyyy, I can't wait to touch you again. I'm an addict. I really need your kisses while my hand is desperately working between those thighs*

"Swan!" Emma lowered her phone to see an irritated August standing with her dad "Geez who the hell has you all deaf over there? I called you like 10 times."

"Sorry, ugh I was checking the weather, it's extra hot." August snorted not believing her but laughed at her antics.

"Hey dad, ready to go to the gun range? Got to log atleast 30 hours before you can have a gun. Or do you want to stay learning more about dispatch calls?" at that moment the phone rang and she sighed "Sheriff Swan, how can I help you?" she rolled her eyes and mouthed 'Leroy' "Yup on our way"

"Drunk and disorderly?" Emma nodded "Seriously gonna put that on that guy's grave stone. I swear he-" the phone rang again disrupting August's rant.

"Sheriff Swan, how may I help you?" she scrunched her eyebrows before taking a pen and a paper "what's the address?" she jotted it down quickly "Ok, I'll check it out thanks."

"What was that?"

"Suspicious activity and possible breaking and entering." she says grabbing up the address "August you come with me, dad do you think you can handle a grumpy and disorderly dwarf?"

He laughed "Yeah I think I got it, you guys be careful, ok?" Emma nodded heading out with August forgetting her cellphone as it buzzed next to the dispatch phone. "Emma your-" but they were already out the door. The screen caught his eye.

*Miss Swan!*

*FIne, two can play this game dear*

David was tempted to click on the picture, not even sure what they were conversing about only seeing the last three text come in a series of a few seconds apart. He looked around the empty sheriff station figuring what the hell and opened the text. He then realized that was a big mistake but he couldn't stop staring. He needed to get Leroy but he could not stop staring. It wasn't even anything remotely R rated though the intimacy of it was what made him instantly feel guilty for opening it and feeling any inclination for it.

He started at long golden legs, laying slightly propped up on a desk full of papers, stiletto heels adding to the sex appeal but the risque part was the extremely hiked up skirt. Pulled almost to the hips, slightly parted, showing just a peak of royal blue lace panties underneath, suggestive hand just out of frame.

He quickly pocketed the phone with the intention of being back before Emma, he'd return it to her desk later but for now he needed to step on it.

"So has hook asked you out again?" August asked climbing out of the crusier and pulling out his weapon when he and Emma both saw the unknown car hiding on the side of the house.

"Not this week, I think he's finally getting the hint." She aimed her gun at the window "You see that?"

"Yeah, cover me" August said taking the lead, doing the routine check around and under the car before stepping past it. "Should we go in guns blazing?"

Emma glared at him "Dude not funny"

"Sorry" he shrugged.

"Just knock then kick the door in but someone is obviously here still" she says glancing back at the window when a loud bang came from inside like something was knocked over

"It's the police open up and surrender" August thundered near the door. Emma only turned to again glare at him as if there wasn't an intruder inside.

"Really? Read that in the hand book?" she mocked his standard textbook delivery

"Are you seriously questiong how I'm being a cop right now?" he asked incredulously at her audacity in their situation

They continued to bicker when something caught Emma's eye near the back of the trailer "Hey!" She took off after the flash of green that stumbled out of the back window before it shot off towards the woods. "Damn kids!" she grumbled not in the mood for pursuit on foot.

Lucky for her the figure in green tripped over a tree root and fell stumbling enough to drop their bag. A moment later someone in a black hoodie came to their rescue pulling them up but leaving the bag behind. "August the bag" She pointed running past it to keep up with the intruders.

They weaved through the trees for awhile and Emma had no idea where the hell she was or if they'd been running in circles but she was damn tired. She seen the last flash of green before their trail was completely lost. "Damnit!" She squated, hands on her knees trying to catch her breath. She had to get back into the gym. She was shocked when she looked up and saw the sign for the town line. The hell that's a 10 minute drive from where she was at the trailer, short cut through the woods or not that was at least 5 miles on foot.

She groped around for her cellphone to call August to come pick her up. Damn! She must have left it in the cruiser. Cursing herself all to hell for continuing to chase them all the way here she began her long walk back to town.

Just as she was coming down Main, 2 minutes away from the station she saw August pulling in. "Emma! What the hell happened? I've been looking for you for 2 and a half hours!" he yelled, stepping out of his car. He took in her sweaty appearence and said nothing more. She walked straight past him mad as hell and headed straight for the showers.

When she was done she went to her office finding her phone laying on her desk. Strange, she didn't remember leaving it here. Maybe August brought it in from the crusier. She looked up out at the main floor and found David watching her. She gave him a wry smile and dropped down in her seat. She could hear Leroy muffled shouts of something about lunch through the door.

She picked up her phone and found 2 miss calls from Regina. Shit. Remebering what game she started before she left she was bracing herself for a scolding as she pressed the call button next to her name.

"Emma? Are you ok?" well that's new she thought before she sighed pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Sorry babe, I got lost in pursuit on foot and walked all the way back to town because I apparently forgot my phone here and August's dumb ass was looking for me in town." just talking to Regina seemed to calm her a bit, gosh that woman could do things to her.

"I'm sorry darling, I'm glad you're ok. I was worried when you didn't respond to my texts." Emma's brow crinkled, she didn't recieve any missed texts just calls.

"I just want to cuddle with you and take a nap. Got time for an early lunch break? I'll leave here now and get some food from Granny's." She pulled the phone back to look at the time. "Oh my- it's noon! I thought it was earlier than that. I left here at 8:30 to respond to that call." She whined her head thudding against her desk.

Regina's heart ached at her distressed love "I'm certain I can move some things around. I'll see you in 15, ok babe?" Emma's head shot up at hearing that endermeant fall out of her girlfriend's lips. When she first called Regina 'babe' Regina had cringed and made a snarky comment about it but it eventually grew on her with Emma's persistence and her use of it in the bedroom. So to hear it now was not only surprising but a treat because it was just another verbal aphrodisaic for her libido.

"Regina? Did you just call me babe?" The smile in her voice was so apparent that Regina smiled knowing she'd accomplished what she needed in at least making her feel a little better.

Though of course she was gonna deny it to the death "No dear, I think that walk took a real toll on you. You're simply delirious" Emma knew if she pushed or teased it was never likely to happen again so she just smiled.

"I love you beautiful" Regina smiled

"I love you too darling, now come hold me" Emma hung up excited to be seeing Regina before the work day was over after her already shitty morning.

Once she told August to finish teaching David dispatch and instructed for him to read through the standard handbook she was off to Granny's to order some lunch. 15 minutes later she greeted Amanda who was still in a sour mood. She stopped her causing Emma to raise her eyebrows at her. "Problem?"

"Uh, Miss Mills said she was extremely busy and that she was not to be disturbed by anyone. She even had me rearrange some meetings. I don't think it's wise to go in." She said with a bit of fear in her eyes as if she was worried for the blonde. Poor Amanda, Emma thought, she was young and pretty. Would have been a popular girl in school like Emma had seen on TV. Emma smiled at her, Regina probably scared the girl half to death on a daily basis and here she still sat loyal.

"I think I'll take my chances. I'm just bringing her some lunch. If she gets upset I'll take all the blame, ok?" the young brunette's eyes were pleading with her but she just nodded in agreement. Emma chuckled as she stepped in then shut the door behind her. "What the hell have you done to that poor girl?" The blonde asked as the older brunette lifted her head and raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe you should be asking what she did to me?" she tried giving an aire of innocence to her voice, as she stood to greet her love. She took the to-go containers out of her hands, placing them on her desk and then wrapped her arms around Emma pulling her close. "Would you like her so much if you knew she made a pass at me?" Emma gaped, turning to look in the direction of the door as if she could see the young teen through it.

"That- innocent, reserved, fear all, especially Regina -thing made a pass at you? I don't believe it." Emma said in such disbelief that Regina chuckled and raised both eyebrows in question.

"No? You think she's innocent? No one is truly innocent dear" She said looking over Emma's face dotingly, pushing her blonde locks over her shoulder

"You might be right Henry is a little shit and don't get me started on baby Neal" Regina rolled her eyes not denying the Henry thing and it made Emma smile.

"Babies maybe but even they know how to manipulate their parents to get what they want by crying." Emma laughed shaking her head in disbelief still.

"Touche' " She ran her hands down from Regina's shoulders to the small of her back and then to squeeze her hips."So what did she do?"

"Nothing I couldn't handle darling. I put her in her place and that's why she's been so pissy lately. I think she starting to suspect something between us. Has she been awful to you?" Here went Regina's clingy manner that Emma loved so much. Tugging her tighter and caressing her cheeks softly.

"No. Nothing intentionally directed at me. Though, I think after you hunkered down and only let me in, she is suspecting something." Emma agrees being led to the couch by her hand. "but seriously what did she do?"

Regina laughed "Jealous darling? Not liking her so much now are you?"

"I just want to know if I have to put her in her place too" Regina raised her eyebrows once again in amusement.

"Feeling possesive are we?"

"GInnnnaaa" The brunette chuckled secretly loving when Emma whined at her like a puppy begging for its owners affections. "Did she try to kiss you?"

"I want to kiss you" She replied, closing the distance between their bodies and pressing her red lips to the pale pink ones in want. Things of course escalted quickly, Regina moaned when Emma pushed her tongue into her mouth. She grazed it with her teeth before sucking it making her green eyed lovers hips jerk. "Mmm, I can't believe you started with me earlier and didn't even respond back to my text."

Emma's eyes burrowed once more stopping the brunette's hands from going under her shirt. "I didn't recieve any text back babe. Maybe you didn't send it?"

"No, I'm certain I did. I was upset at first because it showed you read it, then when I tried calling you twice and then the station I began to worry because I wasn't getting any kind of response." She attempted again to push her hands into the blonde's shirt only to be stopped once more. She huffed "what is it?"

Emma didn't respond she only proceeded to pull out her phone so she could see what happened. She opened her text log, the brunette's chin resting on her shoulder watching her swift finger swipes. "Holy...damn it Gina. Fuck!" Emma turned enough to capture smirking lips, that appreciated her compliments, with her own. "I definitely would have been here instead of out on a call had I gotten this."

Regina accepted more greedy kisses but her mind wouldn't let her continue with it's nagging. "So if you didn't see the text who did?" not that she wasn't confident in her body or her sex appeal but it was private picutre for Emma.

Emma was a naturally jealous lover, especially with Regina. I mean just look at the woman for one. Though it wasn't just Regina's looks, Emma valued thier intimacy, it was something they were both new to and enjoying exploring it for the first time together.

Regina could be a jealous lover but mostly in moments when their emotional intimacy was threatened. Emma thought on the question for a moment "That fucking bastard!"

"Emma, sweetie calm down" she tried brushing her hair away from her face

"Calm down? CALM down? How can I calm down when August purposefully invaded my privacy and was probably getting his rocks off, gawking at my girlfriend instead of properly looking for me." Emma's blood boiled thinking about August staring at something meant for her eyes only. Blantantly disrespecting her and Regina. "I swear when I see that guy..."

"Emma darling, it's ok"

"It's not ok Regina! He went through my phone, invading my privacy and just the thought of him looking at you..." She growled primally stirring two different feelings in Regina "That's disrespectful to the both of us and not to mention he now knows about us."

Regina rubbed a soothing hand down Emma's arm to ground her a bit. Her rage always soared her high up, pushing her impulsive mode into fight or flight. She was touched that Emma thought of her in such a protective regard. "You're right dear, it's not right though you've already had a long terrible morning. What's done is done. I know it was quite suggestive but that's all he got and will ever get. You get me fully ok?" She stood following after Emma who'd shot up off the couch in her anger. She pulled the blonde into her.

Her words seemed to placate Emma enough making her relax into the shorter woman's arms. She sighed hard, the day weighing heavily upon her and all she wanted to do was curl up with Regina, in Regina's bed and sleep.

Regina led her back down to the couch, settling back against a pillow and allowing Emma to curl into her with her head on her lap. Emma rolled her face into Regina's stomach, nuzzling it almost playfully until she was comfortable.

After a stretch of silence and Regina's soothing patterns on her back she turned just enough to look up at her. "I'm sorry"

Regina's brows pinched together "Sorry for what love?"

"It was my fault for leaving my phone and I-" Regina's shushed her, effective in stopping her blame game short.

"It wasn't your fault and you have nothing to apologize to me for. I sent the picture for you and whoever thought it was ok to go through your personal things is in the wrong. I'm not upset about it. I'm only upset that you're upset and were robbed of your privacy." She began weaving her hands into soft blonde curls. "How do you know it was August anyways?"

Taking a calming breath to stop her anger from rising at hearing his name she focused on Regina's soft minstrations "Well I didn't have my phone when I got lost obviously but when I got back it was sitting on my desk ontop of everything with your two missed calls." She explained the anger rearing again "Fucker put it back like nothing happened at all"

Regina remained quiet, letting her fingers scratching against Emma's scalp to calm her again. She wouldn't be bringing it up again right now. Another deep sigh from Emma trying to tamp things down. Her impulsive side always made her feel guilty especially when she mis-directed her anger at Regina in any way.

10 minutes pass without a sound, only breathing and the hum of Regina's mini fridge in the corner. Regina was convinced that Emma had fallen asleep, her heavy breathing adding to her speculation. She was really busy today and if Emma was sleeping and didn't need her immediate attention she could sneak and finish some work, even if she wanted to stay and watch her sleep.

When she made a move to shift Emma, the blonde stirred slightly clinging an arm around her waist to hold her there. "no babe" came a sleepy pout. Regina's heart completely melted "lay down with me" came the next whiny beg. The couch was rather small and not all that comfy but she complied. Shifting around until Emma's arms were wrapped around her, a blonde head of hair on her chest snuggling into her neck. "Much better" a small peck to her throat made her giggle.

Allowing her brain to concentrate on Emma's mellowing breaths against her throat and not the pile of work sitting on her desk. The last thing she remembered was Emma's reassuring squeeze to make sure she was still there, she fell into a light slumber in her love's arms.

When Emma woke, she cringed against the brightness invading her still closed eyelids. She allowed her body to stretch out and free itself of the cramps built by the small couch. She then realized she was missing something. Reaching around her she came up empty, she frowned.

A chuckle came from behind her "I'm over here dear." Emma chanced her eyes with the blinding sun and turned, letting her eyes fall on the beautiful brunette working away at her desk. She grunted, smushing her face back into the couch cushion.

"I said no working, only cuddles with Emma" came muffled, as the blonde pulled herself into a sitting position.

"I did love but I can only sleep so long. I'm not an avid nap taker and the town can't run itself." Regina called for her assistant to fetch some records as the blonde gathered her phone and jacket. With a kiss, Regina sent her on her way back to work hoping to see her later for their date night.
