But, there is still some in there, I mean it doesn't hurt to have it, does it? xD Btw, in case you want to listen along, while I was writing this chapter, I had on Look After You by The Fray on repeat. Thank you to everyone who have been following this beautiful story and who stick with me on my updates. Enjoy!
Eugenia found herself painting one night. She loved to paint as a hobby, a way of relaxation. But her eyes kept moving towards Regina who was ironing some of her clothes and Henry's in the room next door.
Robin had always been very controlling with Regina. She saw that all her life. It couldn't possibly continue - especially not now when they were divorced and Emma was in the picture.
As the older woman's hand moved along the canvas, she spoke, "So are you planning on letting him bully you all your life?" she asked Regina.
"Excuse me?" Regina asked as her head did a quick turn to glance at the older woman.
"You heard me." Eugenia replied as she kept up with her painting and continued, "You know, sacrificing everything in life for our children is not selfless. It's ridiculous."
Regina snapped, slamming the iron down on the board as she turned to glance at her grandmother. "I am doing the best that I can!"
"Really?" Eugenia murmured and continued on her painting.
There was no doubt Regina was trying, but at the end of the day she was afraid of Robin. Always had been.
She was a strong woman, no doubt there, but Robin had a temper and truthfully she knew Henry loved his father. She didn't want him losing that.
That same night Emma found herself finishing up her repairs on the fishing boat. It took her a lot of late nights, but she wanted to surprise Regina by bringing her childhood boat to life.
The weekend was finally here as Regina was driving Henry to Robin's house for the weekend. The boy was too entertained with a rocket ship he was playing with, as he made sound effects with his mouth.
Regina kept constantly turning her head towards her son, smiling lightly at how adorable her son was; but also, realizing that no matter whom his mother chose to be with, as long as she was happy - he was happy.
And Henry did love Emma. The soldier was good for him, and by the looks of it she adored Henry.
They never got to the point to talk about how Emma would feel to raise Henry as her own if their relationship ever got any father, but something inside Regina told her that she didn't even need to ask. She knew Emma would gladly accept Henry as her own.
And she loved her for that, as well as many other reasons.
She missed her.
Robin was washing his other car as Regina was pulling up the driveway and a happy Henry raced over to his dad. Robin smiled at his boy, "Hey."
"Can I help?" Henry happily offered.
"Yeah. Why don't you grab that rag and start at the back? I'll meet you in the middle." Robin suggested his son, as he pointed towards the bucket on the ground with a blue rag hanging over it; as he walked up to Regina who was walking up to him.
"Hey." The man greeted her, "We're going to have some pizza tonight if you want to stay for dinner." he continued.
Regina had other plans…
For the first time in her life, she wasn't interested in anything this man had to say to her.
For the first time in her life, she was thinking of her own happiness for once.
A happiness that included a certain beautiful blonde waiting patiently for her to come around.
Robin had his chance with her and he blew it - many times. While Emma was offering her exactly what she deserved.
As the brunette dropped her songs backpack on the floor, she shook her head at Robin, "You know what Robin, that's not going to work anymore. I figured it out. You don't want full custody anymore than I want you to have it. You can try and take him, but I will fight you." She continued as she began striking at the man's chest with her index finger, "I will fight you and your family's lawyers."
Robin couldn't help but smile, as she's tried being tough before, but in the end he always won and he knew it. "Okay, calm down." the man said, still amused by her behavior.
Regina wasn't having it, as she shoved his hand away hard when he tried to touch her arm.
"I am a damn good mother. You know that. Everybody knows that." the brunette said in a medium high voice that made Robin a little scared then and there.
He looked around to see if any of his neighbors were seeing that he was actually taken aback by his ex's new and sudden behavior.
Regina however was enjoying her new found power.
"You want to go back to court, you just tell me when. Otherwise, you stay the hell out of my life." the brunette finished as she walked back to her truck, feeling damn proud of herself for the way she stood up to the man who had her scared all her life.
Robin was no pleased by this new found behavior, but right now Regina didn't give a damn about that. The only person she cared to see in that moment was not going to be found in Robin's house.
She made it this far. She needed to go a little father.
BEGINNING OF M RATED SCENE
Emma was out back by the back entrance of her home; washing her hands. She had created a nice closed area just outside with giant wooden, rusted blue shutters, to be able to shower outside with a nice hint of privacy to it.
She was taken fully by surprise, as a slam to a door was heard as a familiar brunette walking quickly towards the blonde turning her body towards her as her lips fiercely pressed against Emma's.
The water falling from the shower head Emma had installed was falling beautifully around them; instantly soaking them, as their foreheads pressed gently together.
In that moment, Emma could breathe again.
The blonde's lips then feeded on Regina's own lips, as she bit down on the brunette's lower lip; capturing her lips in a passionate kiss, as her hands took control of Regina's body pulling her closer.
Their bodies bumping into the other side of the wash area, as Regina pushed Emma along one of the shutters, causing her body to bump closer to Emma's as Regina's hands worked the button and zipper on the blonde's jeans.
This action made Emma crazy with desire, so much that her hands were thinking on their own again as they worked their way towards Regina's thighs, just below her butt cheeks; lifting the brunette woman up with no struggle at all as she pressed her body up against the wall.
As Emma's hand worked her way just underneath the brunette's thigh, enough to have access to her now wet folds, she worked her way in slowly; knowing well she now had the permission to do so.
To this Regina took notice, as a deep sigh followed by a moan escaped her lips, her hands grabbing and pulling onto wet golden hair. Regina's body moving up and down, to the rhythm of the blonde's hand, as Emma's hand worked her magic just underneath that wet long skirt Regina had been wearing in that moment.
God, she felt amazing.
Emma had been craving the feeling of being inside of this woman ever since she laid eyes on her, and judging by how warm and soaked her walls now were, as Emma's fingers fiercely pumped in, out, in, out… so did Regina.
And if that wasn't proof enough of just how much she had been wanting Emma, the look in her brown eyes was more than enough proof as they found Emma's green ones.
Regina's eyes had taken a jet black color as Emma looked up at them as an orgasm escaped the brunette's lips.
Once wasn't nearly enough. They both needed more of it.
What had begun with a hungry desire, had turned into something slow, and full of patience as they found themselves standing just beside Emma's bed. Exchanging light and soft kisses in the process.
The blonde's hand cupped one of Regina's butt cheeks, as their kiss then became more passionate for a while, until Emma's hands worked Regina's blouse up her body, revealing the brunette's perfect form. To this gorgeous sight before her very eyes, Emma sat on her bed, as her lips and tongue began making slow trails up Regina's stomach.
It was Regina's turn to see what more Emma had to offer, as her hands worked the blonde's shirt off of her, revealing perfectly sculpted washboard abs.
Emma looked up at the sight of those gorgeous features she had studied over the years in that photograph. As Regina's hands planted themselves on Emma's blonde hair down to the sides of her face, sealing her love for the blonde with yet another passionate kiss.
As they worked their way of fully getting undressed, it had become like a fun game full of laughter and smiles, as for a moment Regina actually struggled to take the blonde's jeans off; given they were still drenched from their previous shower session.
A laugh escaped the blonde's lips as she found herself on the floor, making it easier for Regina to rid her of her stubborn jeans.
Once she did, her bra was gone as well as Regina held her close to her once again as Emma's arms quickly worked their way around Regina's back to rid her of her own bra. Gentle and sweet kisses being exchanged which quickly turned passionate.
While in bed, things kept going just as slow and passionate. It was perfect. They both had wanted this for the longest time and they both felt so alive as it was finally happening now.
Regina was able to connect with Emma in a way she had never been able to connect with anyone intimately. And Emma…
She finally felt she was where she belonged.
There wasn't a place on Regina's body that Emma's lips didn't trace. Nor a place her hands didn't touch.
The blonde had made her feel so much, that she wanted to give her the same in return. Regina wanted Emma to know that she was just as equally loved in return, as she then worked her way down the blonde's body. Her lips leaving a trail of passionate kisses, kissing every inch of her breasts, her stomach and thighs until she reached her destination of where she intended to get.
A hiss escaped Emma's lips followed by a soft moan as everything Regina was making her feel in that moment, (with her tongue worked her magic on her clit and her folds), radiated out of her body.
It went on like that for a while, as they both couldn't get enough of each other. And even though it was just them alone in that house, orgasms were kept between them, as if it were a secret for only the two women to hold onto. And it was. Soft whispers of sweet words were exchanged.
It was pure heaven.
Nothing mattered then and there but each other.
END OF M RATED SCENE
Eventually both women grew exhausted as they had both passed out into a deep sleep.
With Emma's back turned against Regina, the brunette couldn't help but wake up and study Emma's tattoo she had just above on her upper back. She pulled the sheet off slowly the blonde's back for a better look.
It was beautiful cursive writing, spelling out All Glory Is Fleeting right across.
The blonde was a proud soldier and even though that scared Regina, given her brother's faith - she had to also admire it.
After a few more minutes of admiring the blonde soldier's sleeping body. Clearly catching up on all that sleep she had missed on. Regina stood up from the bed as she looked at Emma's only possessions on her small desk up against the wall, by the front door.
The brunette studied every little thing on that desk. A map that Emma had been carrying with her, to the only two books she seemed to own, revealing the small picture she had been carrying throughout her third tour. To which, Regina giving all her attention to Emma's other belongings didn't come to notice.
As Regina turned to look over at Emma, seeing sleepy green eyes staring back at her; she couldn't help but smile as she placed the books back in their place and crawled back into Emma's bed where her strong arms were waiting to embrace her.
And they did, as soon as Regina straddled the blonde's form and looked directly into those piercing green eyes, "Why did you come here?" Regina murmured to the blonde.
"To find you." the soldier whispered to her, as she sat up, her arms already around Regina's form, as Regina moved forward against the blonde, causing her to lay back in bed; losing each other in another kiss filled with, what could only be described as true love.
