Please review and let me know how I do and what I can improve on.

Also instead of italicizing people's thoughts, I'm going to put them in single quotation marks, like 'this'. It's easier for me, and I wanted to let you know so you weren't confused.

Sorry it took me so long to update, I had major writer's block.

I don't own these characters, nor do i profit from this, just writing stuff about them for funsies!

Enjoy! - LS

Chapter 4: Goodnight Kiss

Regina walked into her home late at night after her date, and found her parents tiredly sitting on the couch.

"I'm back." she said quietly.

"How was it?" Henry asked.

"Amazing." she sighed and smiled happily.

Cora and Henry noticed her happy expression and smiled at her.

"I take it you like her?" Cora questioned with a smirk.

"Regina chuckled and nodded. "Yes, very much. How was Henry?"

"He was good but he missed his Mommy."

Regina smiled sadly, "Well you guys can sleep in the guest bedroom if you want, I'm going to bed."

"Ok darling, thank you. Good night."

"Good night." Regina said and went upstairs to peek in on a sleeping Henry and went to bed herself.

"She looked happy." Henry said.

'Yeah. I think this was a good idea." Cora smiled.

The next morning Emma walked into Granny's, ready for work.

"So, how was your date?!" Ruby asked.

Emma blushed, "Good."

"Looks like it was really good. Did you get laid?"

Emma gawked, "What? No! It was our first date… But we did kiss." Emma smiled to herself.

"Ahh, so you really like her, don't you?"

"Yeah."

"That's cool. I'm happy for you Em." Ruby gave her a side hug.

Emma chuckled, "Thanks."

After Emma's shift, she went for a walk. She wandered along the shore, liking the breeze. She went to the wooden playground that was designed to look like a castle. She discovered it a while after she got to Storybrooke while she was walking around town, discovering things. She layed down on the main platform and popped in her earbuds, listening to her music and closing her eyes.

Regina had the day off from work and decided to make the most of it.

"What would you like to do today Henry?"

"Castle!"

"What a great idea! Let's go."

"Yay!"

Regina and Henry walked to the shore holding hands, where she had a wooden castle structure built for her son.

When they got there, they saw a person lying on the castle. Henry being curious about who was visiting his castle, ran over.

"Henry, wait!" Regina said, trying to grab his arm,but he was too quick.

Henry hopped onto the platform next to the woman, startling her.

"Who are you?"

Emma took out her earbuds and sat up.

"Uhm, I'm Emma."

"I'm Henry, and this is my castle. I'm pleased to have you." he said royaly.

Emma smiled slightly, and looked away from the boy to see a shocked face looking at her.

"Emma? What are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone played here." she said and got up.

"Don't you want to play with me?" Henry asked.

Emma looked at Regina. Regina shrugged.

"Sure."

"Yay!" Henry said and pulled Emma along, "Let's play follow the leader!. You follow me." Henry swiftly ran up the ramp and into the castle, Emma following clumsily, trying her best to crouch into the tiny spaces and keep up. Regina looked on in amusement, when Henry raced through, between her legs. Emma followed and stopped in front of Regina. She smiled shyly and stepped around her to where Henry was waiting.

"No. You have to crawl under Mommy!"

Regina smiled awkwardly and spread her legs. Emma blushed and crouched down, trying to get as low as possible. She crawled through her legs, trying not to touch her too much, but ended up rubbing her sides against Regina's inner thighs, making Regina blush furiously. Once she stood back up, Henry lead her over to the rope leading to the top level of the castle. Emma smiled back at Regina and watched as Henry started climbing the rope. When he was near the top, his hands slipped, making Regina gasp. Emma caught him in her arms before he was even close to the ground, letting Regina breath a sigh of relief.

"Woah there, you alright?" she asked him.

He was shocked for a moment, but recovered.

"Yeah, thanks!"

Emma chuckled, "You're welcome." she said, and placed him back on the rope so he could climb the rest of the way up. Emma grabbed onto the rope and started climbing after him. Regina looked at her sleeveless arms and groaned at the sight of her muscles flexing.

'She really does work out.' Regina thought to herself.

"Emma! Slide with me!"

Emma smiled and got behind him. She pushed off with her hands and they zoomed down the slide.

"Weeeeeeh!" Henry and Emma screeched excitedly.

Regina laughed at their cuteness.

Henry ran up to Regina, "Mommy, I'm hungry."

"How about we get some lunch. What should we get?"

"Icecream!"

"Maybe something a little less sugary." Regina smiled.

"Pizza!"

Regina rolled her eyes, "Alright. Pizza it is."

"Emma come?" Henry asked hopeful.

Regina looked at Emma questioningly, "Would you like to join us for some pizza?"

"Uhm, sure. If that's alright with you."

"Of course it is dear." Regina smiled.

"Okay, let's go!" Henry shouted and grabbed Regina and Emma's hands.

They walked to the pizzeria hand in hand, Henry in the middle pulling them along. They entered the self seating restaurant and found a booth in the corner. Regina and Henry entered one side and Emma, the other. A waitress came over to take their orders and Regina ordered her and Henry a veggie pizza, while Emma got the Hawaiian.

"Hawaiian huh? I wouldn't take your for a pineapple kind of girl."

"You know what they say about pineapple." Emma winked.

Regina looked at her, confused. "No. What do they say?"

"Nevermind." Emma chuckled and looked down.

"Mama, cut my pizza," Henry said frustratedly as he pulled at his pizza desperately, causing a piece of a pepper to fling across the table, hitting Emma in the face.

Regina gasped, "Henry be careful! I'm so sorry Emma!"

Emma laughed, "It's okay. But you know what needs to happen now, don't you?' She asked seriously.

Regina looked worriedly at Emma and then to Henry. "What?"

"Payback!" Emma shouted and threw a piece of pineapple at Henry, causing him to giggle and chuck an olive at Emma. Regina sat, stunned at the little food fight happening before her, when a stray pineapple chunk hit her on the cheek. Emma and Henry froze, staring at Regina, waiting for her reaction.

"How dare you…" Regina exclaimed.

Then she threw a pepper at an unsuspecting Emma.

Emma, expecting she would be in trouble, sat confused while Henry giggled. Regina's laugh broke her out of her daze, making her smile. They finished their meal, talking and laughing, Emma surprised at the amount of pizza Henry ate. 'He sure has a big belly,' Emma thought.

"Icecream now?" Henry asked with puppy eyes at his mother.

"Oh no, I think we've had enough junk food for today. Why don't we just go for a walk?"

"Ok! Emma too?"

Regina looked at Emma questioningly, waiting for her answer.

"Uhm… Yea that would be nice." she said nervously, but smiled at Regina.

Regina smiled back, "I can show you those hidden secrets I told you about." she smirked.

They had walked quite a ways, through different streets, Henry fallen asleep in Regina's arms. They ended up strolling through the thick forest, following a light dirt path, when they came up to an old well, with crumbled stone that built the small walls.

"Wow. It's surprisingly very beautiful here, for an old well." Emma whispered.

"Yea. I stumbled upon it when I got a call about a wolf out here."

"You have wolves here!" Emma exclaimed.

Regina chuckled, "No, just some citizen making a fuss about some noises."

"Well why were you the one to investigate it, isn't that what the local sheriff is for?" Emma asked concerned.

"Yes, but we only have one sheriff and he was occupied at the time."

Emma hummed in displeasure at the thought of Regina in the woods at night, with a big bad wolf potentially lurking around her.

They stepped closer to the well, Emma looking in. She jumped in fear when a frog hopped out of the old bucket hanging from the well.

"Not much of a frog person?" Regina chuckled.

"Oh hush you. It was like two inches away from my face. You would freak out too."

Regina just chuckled in response.

They stood there in comfortable silence for a while when Regina glanced at the time.

"Oh my, it's gotten late. As much as I'm enjoying my time with you, I should get this one home." she said, gesturing to Henry.

"Oh of course. I enjoyed it too." she smiled. "Do you think I could give you a goodnight kiss before you go?" she asked with hope in her eyes. Regina looked down at Henry's closed eyes and looked back up.

"I think that could be arranged." Regina smirked with a light blush.

Emma smiled and leaned in slowly until their lips touched. It was soft and sweet and only lasted a couple seconds, but it left a warm fuzzy feeling in both women's bellies. They pulled apart and gazed into each other's eyes sweetly.

Suddenly a small whispered voice was heard from below.

"I wanna goodnight kiss too." Henry whined quietly, as he looked at Emma. Emma looked at Regina questioningly and only got a smile back from the woman.

"Sure kid." she said and leaned down to press a kiss to Henry's little cheek. He smiled and layed his head back down to close his eyes.

"So maybe I'll call you? So we can have a proper date again without a toddler tagging along?" Regina said chuckling.

"I'd love that. But i enjoyed Henry, he's no bother." Emma smiled.

"You're sweet. I'll call you soon dear."

They parted ways and went home, excited for what was to come.

I'm so sorry I took so long to post, I suck. Please review and tell me what you think. I love constructive criticism.
