I know I made a comment about catching up on my posts but I decided to go and get a tattoo last minute instead ;)
So here's Day 4 for Swan Queen Week and hopefully I can catch up in the coming days :)
Thanks for the support and kudos guys! Enjoy!
They go to the beach and no one says anything when Regina lays out in a sun chair. She reads her book and squeals when Emma comes and shakes her wet hair all over her like a dog. "Emma!" she says as she jumps up, trying to get away from the spray.
Emma just laughs and flops down next to Regina on the chair, wrapping an arm over Regina's stomach.
"These chairs were not made for two," Regina deadpans as she wipes the water from her face and sunglasses.
"Guess we'll just have to get real close then," Emma says, snuggling further into Regina's side.
Regina rolls her eyes but before she can say anything Henry yells, "Get a room!" as he splashes them from the pool.
"We already have one kid," Emma calls back, lifting her head to acknowledge him before nuzzling into Regina's neck.
"Children. I'm surrounded by children," Regina mutters but doesn't move from the cocoon Emma has created.
"You love it," Emma murmurs without moving, causing Regina to shiver. She smirks and places a kiss above Regina's pulse point, causing another shiver to pass through her body.
"Don't," Regina says quietly, not moving from her spot, "There are people around."
"Hmmm," Emma hums against her neck, "Guess it'll just have to wait then." She's up from the chair and back in the pool before Regina knows what's happening.
Regina sits up and looks at her girlfriend in the pool, who just smirks and sends a wink her way. Regina rolls her eyes and lays back down, content to let the sun warm her body.
Henry decides he is done with the pool, so they all go back to the room, shower, and get ready to head down for dinner.
They're given a nice table with a beautiful view of the water outside and everyone sits quietly, mulling over their menus and looking out at their view.
It's a very domestic affair. They all talk quietly about what they're most looking forward to for the coming two weeks, what they enjoyed about the day, and comparing where they are now to Storybrooke.
When their food comes, Regina is shocked (again) and just how much food Emma can eat. What also surprises her is the "challenge" that seems to be going on between her teenage son and her girlfriend. Apparently, they've decided to see who can eat the most. A brilliant idea, Regina thinks as she eyes up the mountain of food between Emma and Henry.
After polishing off the last plate of food ordered, Henry and Emma both sit back in their chairs and take a deep breath. Emma pats her stomach and says, "That was amazing."
"Absolutely delicious," Henry agrees.
"Children," Regina mutters as she rolls her eyes.
"Dessert?" Their waiter asks as he makes another round. Regina can't help but roll her eyes when both Henry and Emma order dessert.
Once all the food is gone and the plates have been cleared, the family pays their bill and heads back to their suite. They barely make it through the door before Henry holds his stomach and says, "I don't feel too good."
Regina shakes her head, "You've probably eaten too much. Why don't you go lie on the couch and I'll find you some medicine."
Before she can make it to her suitcase she hears Henry say, "Oh no," as he races to the bathroom. She sighs and quickly grabs the stomach relief pills and a bottle of water before heading into the bathroom where her son is losing his dinner.
She sits quietly on the tub next to him and rubs soothing circles on his back like she used to when he was little. When he's finished he leans against her legs and rests his head on her thighs. His eyes are closed but Regina can tell he's exhausted. She brushes the hair back from his face and whispers, "Do you think you're done?" When Henry nods she puts the bottle of water in his hand and says, "Drink this. Little sips remember," she reminds.
He nods his head as he carefully lifts the bottle to his lips. Emma peeks her head in and asks, "You alright kid?"
He looks at her distastefully as he asks, "How are you not sick? We ate the same things!"
Emma chuckles and pats her stomach, "Iron Gut, kid."
Henry tries to roll his eyes but feels a wave of dizziness come over him, so he rests his head back on Regina's thighs. "I don't feel good," he whines as she runs her hand through his hair.
"I know," she says soothingly. "When you feel up to it we'll move you out to the couch and off this floor, alright?"
Henry nods but makes no effort to move. He pukes two more times before they move him to the couch. Emma wraps his arm around her shoulders and puts her arm on his waist to help him stagger to the couch while Regina goes and finds a bucket under the sink to use in case he gets sick again.
Regina wraps him in a mountain of blankets while Emma turns on the TV and finds a movie for them to watch.
"Mom, I'm fine," Henry says when she primps a pillow for him again.
"You're sick dear," she deadpans.
"Just sit and watch the movie, please?" he begs as he shifts so she can sit between him and his blonde mother.
Regina sighs but reminds him once more where the bucket is before snuggling between her girlfriend and their son.
As soon as the movie is on, Henry snuggles into Regina's right side as Regina snuggles into Emma's, resting her head on Emma's shoulder. Emma kisses the top of Regina's head as she wraps her right arm around her shoulders, resting it next to Henry's head.
They're all so exhausted from the long day and Henry's bout of sickness that they find themselves falling asleep during the movie.
Headcanon: Regina is totally the Florence Nightingale type.
