A/N: Thanks again for all the nice reviews. Sadly, this story will eventually end, but I'm expecting a few more chapters.
Here's chapter 7!
Chapter 7
12:00 p.m.
Sunday
Emma, Regina and Henry had just finished their third run of the day, and they were getting on the lift for the fourth. They "smushed" their son in between them (as he put it).
"So when we get up here, where do you want to go?" Emma asked, putting her arm around Henry and consequently, Regina.
"I really want to go down a blue slope!" Henry whined to his older mother.
"Henry..." Regina said.
"C'mon Regina," Emma chided. "It'll be fun."
Regina thought for a moment.
"Fine," she finally said. "But you'd better be careful Henry."
Henry beamed. He high-fived his other mother. Regina couldn't help but smile.
They got off the lift they were on and skied to the top of the nearest blue slope.
"Ready?" Emma asked.
Regina smiled and nodded. Henry quickly started down his slope, his mothers not far behind.
The group made it down the slope quickly.
"That was so fun!" Henry shouted at the bottom.
Regina and Emma laughed at him, and Emma grabbed his helmet playfully.
"How about some lunch?" Regina asked.
"I'm starving!" Emma said.
They took off their skis and snowboards and headed inside. They went through the lunch line quickly. Regina grabbed a hamburger. Emma dramatically placed her hand on Regina's forehead.
"Are you sick," she asked.
Regina chuckled and grabbed fries to go along with it.
Henry's eyes went wide.
"Mom's eating junk food?" He asked. "Things really are changing around here."
The family payed and went to a table. Emma and Regina sat on one side, Henry on the other. Emma's hand found its place comfortably on Regina's leg. Regina tried not to blush.
The three finished their food. Henry reached across for his older mother's left over fries.
"Let's do something this afternoon," Emma suggested.
"You mean besides skiing?" Henry asked with a mouthful of fries.
"Yeah," Emma continued. "Let's go to the village and see what we can get into."
Regina scoffed. "And we're inviting your parents I assume."
Emma smiled sheepishly. "We probably should."
"Let's go!" Henry said. "Skiing is fun, but so is walking around at night. The village is so pretty."
"Alright then," Regina agreed.
They bundled up and headed back to the slopes and skied back to the house.
"I'll go get ready!" Henry said excitedly.
"Hold on Henry," Emma said. "I might need a little nap first."
"Me too," Regina said and collapsed on the couch.
"Oh, okay," Henry said. "I'm gonna go play games on my laptop then."
"Be ready upstairs at three!" Regina shouted as he ran up the stairs.
"Ok." He shouted back.
1:24 p.m.
Emma emerged from her room, sleepy eyed, but refreshed. She found Regina on the couch looking at her laptop.
"You're not working right?" Emma asked.
Regina jumped. "Geez, Emma."
"Please tell me you're not working," Emma said. "Storybrooke will make it without its mayor for a few days."
"I'm just making sure that Ruby's doing a good job," Regina said, closing her laptop.
Emma sat down. "I chose her as deputy for a reason, Gina." She pulled the laptop off of Regina's lap and put it on the coffee table. "Come here."
Emma pulled Regina into her lap and kissed her slowly. Regina moaned into the kiss and wrapped her arms around Emma's neck. She pulled away a few minutes later.
"How was your nap?" Regina asked, pushing a piece of Emma's hair behind her ear.
"Very nice," Emma said. "I had a nice dream."
"Oh?" Regina inquired with another kiss on Emma's lips. "What about?"
Emma hesitated for a second.
"You," she said, and kissed Regina's neck.
Regina couldn't help but blush from her chest to her cheeks. She arched her back into Emma's kiss, but she stopped before it got too much.
"Wait," Regina said.
Emma groaned. "Gina."
"We have to go get ready," Regina said. "I need a shower."
Emma smirked and wrapped her arms around Regina's waist. "I have an idea."
"Not yet," Regina said with a smile, pulling Emma's hands off her waist and disappearing into the bathroom.
Emma watched her go.
"Wow," she muttered to herself.
2:45 p.m.
"Hey," Emma heard coming from behind her.
"H-" Emma looked at Regina, whom the voice was coming from.
She stopped in her tracks.
"Wow," she said.
Regina was wearing a black winter dress, leggings, and boots. Wrapped around her shoulders was Emma's red leather jacket.
"I thought I would borrow it, since you're not wearing it," Regina said. "But I can put it back if-"
She was cut off by a rough kiss on her lips by Emma. She responded, but was confused. Emma finally pulled away.
"Wh-"
"You look so hot in my clothes," Emma said.
Regina smirked at her and grabbed her hand.
"Let's go."
They headed upstairs.
"Hey girls-" Snow stopped herself. "Is that Emma's jacket?"
"Oh," Regina said.
"I gave it to her," Emma explained. "I thought it looked nice with her dress."
"Oh," Snow said. "Well it does."
"Thanks," Regina said, not used to Snow complementing her.
Henry came bolting up the stairs suddenly.
"Let's go! I'm excited let's explore!" he shouted, so the women in the room could easily hear him.
Regina looked at Snow.
"What did you feed him?" she asked calmly.
Snow held up a plate of homemade chocolate cake.
Regina scoffed. Emma giggled at her son. Regina looked at her. They locked eyes passionately. Regina but her lip.
"Uh moms," Henry whispered so that's Snow couldn't hear. "If you don't want grandma and grandpa to know about you, then maybe you shouldn't make eyes at each other in the middle of the living room."
"We don't-"
"We're not making eyes."
"What's wrong?" David asked, walking in the room with baby Neal.
"Nothing," they said simultaneously.
"Okay," David said.
The family took off out the door.
4:00 p.m.
Regina's feet and arms hurt. She'd been holding Snow's shopping bags for what felt like hours. She was sorry she had offered.
David, Emma, and Henry had disappeared to the rock climbing wall in the center of the plaza, insisting they 'had to try it.'
Regina honestly thought it sounded fun, but she had decided to wear a dress, so she took a pass.
"Hey guys," Regina heard the Savior's voice behind her.
Her savior in this moment.
"Oh, Emma!" she exclaimed. "Hi Henry, David," she said, dumping Snow's bags into his arms.
David grumbled and went to talk to Snow. Regina led Emma to the other side of the store where they looked at blouses intently, trying to keep their eyes off of each other.
"How was climbing?" Regina asked.
"Oh it was fun," Emma said. "Nothing like climbing a beanstalk though."
Regina chuckled.
Suddenly, they were approached by the rest of the family.
"Henry wants to go to look at video games, and we figured we'd take him so we could take Neal to the toy store," Snow said.
"You girls don't have to come," David said.
Regina saw her opportunity.
"Yeah," Regina said. "I'd like to look at some dresses, so maybe I'll do that."
She nudged Emma's hand beside her.
"Oh," Emma said. "I'll just come with you."
"Alright, we'll see you later," Snow said and they left.
Emma smirked at Regina, but Regina looked unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Emma asked.
Regina sighed. "We'll have to tell them, if you want to do this for real."
Emma was suddenly quiet. "I know."
"Soon," Regina continued.
Emma grabbed her hand.
"Let's go look at those dresses," Emma said.
