A/N: I know I know it's been forever! I'm sorry! Life and yada yada yada... I'm hoping that this longer chapter will help make up for it... Please don't hate me! Don't forget to review! They encourage me to write more! And as always I own nothing...

Emma stood on the porch of 108 Mifflin rocking on her heels and glancing at her phone. As soon as the numbers switched she pressed the doorbell. She only had to wait a few seconds before the door was pulled open and a smiling Henry stood in front of her.

"Hey ma!" He beamed. He practically jumped at her her and wrapped his arms around her middle. She grinned and hugged him back before stepping inside.

"Where's your mom?" She asked as he closed the door behind them.

"She's in the kitchen making dinner. Wanna come watch me play video games until it's done?"

She glanced in the direction of the kitchen then back to Henry.

"Actually there's a couple things I need to talk to your mom about first kid. But maybe after dinner?" She smiled and gave a shrug. He nodded and headed back into the living room as the blonde made her way into the kitchen.

Regina was finishing up putting a salad together and had her back to the door. Sensing that she was no longer alone, she turned to see Emma standing in the doorway. She glanced at the time and smiled that the blonde was actually on time for once.

"I see you actually decided to arrive on time for once." She smirked. Emma rolled her eyes but smiled.

"I know how to be on time if it's for something I want."

"And what might that be?"

"Well food obviously," She laughed. "I also quite enjoy the company."

Regina smiled shyly and looked away, turning back to finish the salad. The timer for the oven beeped and she quickly went and pulled the lasagna out and placed it on the counter.

She turned to say something to Emma and gasped softly to find her standing so close. She stood still and looked into brilliat green eyes. Emma leaned in and kissed her softly, pulling back after just a few seconds, and smiled at her.

"I like spending time with you Regina." She stepped back and blushed slightly.

Regina cleared her throat and nodded to the door.

"Would you go let Henry know that it's time to eat?"

Emma stared confused for a second until she saw the smile form on the mayors face as she turned to pull two wine glasses from the cabinet. Emma smiled and went to retrieve their son.

As soon as the blonde was gone, Regina took a deep shakey breath. What is going on between her and the sheriff? She had to admit that she enjoyed this feeling. But was she ready? Heat of the moment was one thing. But feelings? There are still so many things she doesn't know about the savior. Like that she has a talent for art. Emma is such a private person. But then again so is she, so she can't really blame her. Going through every thing they have, being so open and trusting isn't going to happen right away.

Deciding to ignore her internal debate for the time being, and just enjoy the night with her son and his other mother, she reaches for the dish on the counter and spots a thin book on the opposite counter. Emmas sketchbook? She stares at it, curious to know what's inside but keeps herself from going to it. Instead she'll smply try to bring it up and hope Emma will show her.

Just then Emma and Henry came in and the three of them carried everything to the dinning room for their family dinner.

-SQ-

Dinner was comfortable. Henry doing most of the talking. He enjoyed having both of his mothers there and not fighting. He was happy and this in turn made his moms happy. They joined in the conversation when he stopped talking long enough to breath or take a bite. Occasionally stealing glances at the other, they revelled in how comfortable and right it felt to have the three of them all together.

They cleared all the dishes away and Regina began washing them. Emma stood next to her and dried them silently while Henry went to pick out a movie for them to watch. Once they finished they joined their son in the living room, and found him sitting on one end of the couch with a movie paused and ready to go. He smiled and patted the couch next to him for both mothers to sit. Emma quickly bounded over and sat on the other end and rested her arm across the back of the couch. She smirked at the older woman and nodded her head to the open spot. Regina blushed and smiled before sitting down, closer to Henry than Emma.

As the movie played, Henry had slowly stretched out more and more causing Regina to be pressed against the blondes side. Emma let her hand drop down to barely graze Reginas arm. She trailed her fingers up and down mindlessly while she watched the movie. Regina however was having a hard time focusing on the screen. Feeling the blondes fingers, while being pressed against her side was doing things and she quite enjoyed it.

By the time the movie was over Henry was passed out and Regina woke him to tell him it was time for bed, and went up with him to get him tucked in. Emma turned off the movie and made her way back to the kitchen where she realized she had left her sketchbook. She grabbed it and walked back out right as the brunette reached the bottom stair.

"Care to join me for a drink Miss Swan?" She asked as she made her way to the study.

"Sure, if you call me Emma." She smiled and followed, closing the door behind her. She sat on the couch while Regina poured two glasses of cider and handed one to the blonde. She sat on the couch opposite the other woman and gestured to the book lying next to her leg.

"Is that your drawings?"

Emma paused for a second then nodded.

"Yeah. One of my many sketchbooks."

"Would you show me?"

Emma bit her lip but nodded and scooted over to make room. Regina rose and sat down next to the blonde. Placing her drink on the table she opened the first page. She stared in awe at the first picture. Henry with a huge smile on his face and his fairy tale book open in front of him.

"Emma this is incredible."

Regina continued to flip through the pages, seeing a lot of people from the town. Mary Margaret and David, Ruby, Granny, even the dwarves. Every picture looking as realistic as if it were a photo. She stopped at another picture and lightly traced her fingers across the page. It was another picture of Henry, but he wasnt alone. Standing behind him she saw herself, resting her chin on his head and arms wrapped around his shoulders. She smiled and looked up at the blonde next to her.

"I didn't know you've seen this picture before." She whispered.

"It's one of Henrys favorites."

Regina nodded and looked back at the portrait. She bit her lip and spoke softly without looking up.

"Would you draw me?"

If Emma hadn't been sitting so close she might not have heard the request.

"Really?" she asked with a smile.

Regina glanced up into hopeful green eyes and smiled.

"Yes."

-SQ-

"Hold stil Regina. Stop squirming so much" Emma huffed.

"I'm sorry. I've never been good at having my portrait done." Regina sighs and tries to sit still.

"Well I'm almost done, so don't move."

Emma glances up from the sketchpad on her thigh to the fidgety brunette. Regina is stood leaning against her desk with her arms across her chest and that damn smirk on her face. It's so sexy and Emma can't help the grin and rush of heat straight to her core. She licks her lips as she puts the finishing touches on the drawing. Reginas eyes follow the path of the blondes tongue and has a sudden urge to follow its lead. Shaking off those thoughts she watches as the blonde finally puts the pencil down and reaches for her drink.

They are both well into their third glass of cider, and neither knows if the blushes adorning their cheeks are from the alcohol in their system or something else. Regina sags a little bit as she finally moves away from her desk and back to the couch. Noticing the time Emma moves to get up, downing the last of her drink.

"Wait" Regina stops the other woman from standing and nods toward the book. "Can I see it?"

Emma bites her lip and hesitantly opens the book to the picture she had just fnished, turning it so the mayor can see it. Regina lets out a small gasp.

"Emma it's... Perfect... How do you do it?" She asked

The portrait although done in pencil looked so realistic. Every detail of her smirk captured, looked so lifelike. Her eyes seemed full of life and even on paper she looked strong, captivating, and beautiful.

"I draw what I see." She answered simply.

"Is this really how you see me?" She looked into sparkling emerald eyes waiting.

Instead of answering Emma leans in slowly, giving Regina time to pull away. When the older woman doesn't move Emma presses her thin pink lips to full red ones. Pulling back she just stares, waiting for a reaction. Without another word Regina practically tosses the book onto the table and crashes her lips against the blondes. Emmas hands gripped the mayors waist and pulled her so that she was straddling the younger woman.

Reginas hands flew up into golden curls and tugged while she ran her tongue across Emmas bottom lip asking for entrance. Emma moaned and opened her mouth to allow the brunette inside and their tongues dueled for dominance. The blondes hands slid down and squeezed the mayors firm behind, eliciting a deep groan from the other woman and she ground herself down, rocking her hips slightly.

They parted when air became a necessity, both panting hard. Reginas skirt had ridden up and her hips continued to rock slightly, prompting the blonde to squeeze again. Regina arched and leaned her head back, and that was enough for Emma to lean forward to attach her lips to the lean, tan neck in front of her. Reginas hips bucked and she arched her neck to allow the sheriff more access.

"May- Maybe we should t-take this upstairs dear?" Regina offered breathlessly.

Emma hummed in agreement but continued her assult on the brunettes neck. Regina gripped Emmas shoulders to seperate them but instead found herself pulling her closer, not wanting to lose the sensations Emma was creating. She waved her hands and they disappeared in a cloud of purple.
