A little less seeing and a little more feeling 7
*disclaimer* I don't own once upon a time or the characters
how does Henry react? When the three go on accordinfly what happens when life just keeps throwing them into new directions. But who's turn is it this time.
I didn't have much good experiences with love but this seemed like a good experience this time. The feeling of waking beside Regina I was pretty sure was heavenly almost magical. Like ever nerve of my body knew it was her. Usually the first night I wake up next to someone for the first time I end up forgetting I had even fallen asleep next to them. I even panic feeling someone next to me but this morning I remembered and I smiled knowing i went to sleep with Regina just to sleep and woke up remembering it was her. I snuggled closer and kissed her skin. It felt as though her hair covered my face and her shampoo smell made me warm inside.
it must have been her neck because the body in front of me wiggled closer making me realize where my hands were placed. A small moan reaches my ears and I try harder to remove my hand from her breast without waking her. I bit my bottom lip, if I didn't do this right I could end up with a very mad girlfriend. Feeling the silk of Regina's shirt rise and fall faster just because the way my fingers inched over her nipple wasn't really helping.
"Emma dear if you don't stop I will flip us over and tease you until I think you've received the amount torture from the sleepy gropes I've endured." she husked revealng she was awake. I gasped in surprise and my hand like it touched fire moves away. as I apologized she turned to face me and laughed before saying she was just teasing. even though it was completely true I felt better that she didn't mind. It made the sexual tension between us that much more fun that more as we got ready to return to her home.
I gave her the shower first and when she came out I was getting dressed using my routine. The air felt different and she was acting off and reached out to feel her arms were still wet all the way up to her shoulder. I didn't think she would have but as the thought came I decided to search for her towel only to find none. Instantly her bold move flew out the window as I stuttered, was beat red, and unsure if I wanted to feel her bare skin or do the right thing and pull back.
My reaction made her panic. One second I'm feeling my girlfriend's wet chest and the next she was off scrambling to get dressed. Regina was embarrassed now but I thought the idea of her toying with me was hot so I open the bathroom door and pinned her, from what i could tell, half dressed self against the glass of my shower door.
"Do that again you better be ready for me to lick you dry everywhere." I blushed, that was cheezy.
"I'm sorry I just thought I had been insensitive. Teasing you with how I look when you can't see me." It should sting but the reminder only hurts when I feel like it was poorly thought through. I've had much worse than a woman trying to turn me on. Heck once someone had picked me up for a date and almost cried for twenty minutes after they had me standing in front of a movie stand for tickets. It was thoughtless and who knows they probaby hadn't intended to hurt me but they had. This walking around naked to tease me didn't hurt because I didn't need to see to be incredibly turned on.
"I can see you with more than with just my eyes Regina, my fingers find everything and trust me when I get my hands on you I'll see more of you with my hands than I ever could with my eyes." I curl my fingers just at her hips causing her to groan from the pressure. I kissed her then let go quickly and walked away and back to my original plans of getting dressed. Afterwards consisted of me playing with Regina's hair as she drove. Rafik was there to calm me but I found myself focused on the hair that I could brush behind her ears. I loved the shiver that came with the full stroke of the shell of her ear.
she announced we were at her home and my throat dried up. She opened the my door to help me out to which I didn't move. Rafik whined at me I was almost sure he was saying I was being ridiculous. Ridiculous or not I was officially scared to face Henry. Sure I'd met him and he was a great kid. I could love him but in the end I knew personally it had nothing to do with if I loved him. If he hated me I will lose two important people in my life.
"Come on Emma, I know it's scary but I promise Henry loves you." I shook my head.
"That's just it though. He doesn't know I'm the one who gave him up. If it was me and I met my parents I would hate them. for leaving me to die on the side of a road, for making me blind, and for all the the things that happened in my crappy life." By now tears were spilling from imagining Henry tell me he hated me. His cute little voice rang in my head with those words. Regina grabbed my hands her voice suddenly eye level and she said.
"No I raised my son I know him and how he feel about this. He asked maybe he's a little young and doesn't control his emotions but I swear he will be happy you make him and I happy." Then she helps me out if the car. Rafik jumps out and runs to the door due to no leash and harness as well as the fact his newest best friend is inside. An excited Henry let him in and Regina and I made are way into the family room Before calling Henry in. The troublesome two came in Henry was asked to sit.
"Henry we we have something to tell you. I don't want you to say anything until you've heard us out. You understand?" He must have noded. "good, you remember when I promised you I'd find your birth mother?" An excited yes come from him and then I wondered how right Regina could have been. "Well I did but the truth is you and I already know her."
"Henry I didn't know you and your mom were looking for me and I honestly never thought I'd get to meet you. I could explain myself if you want."
"Emma?" He said his voice shaking.
"Yeah buddy. Do you wanna know why I had to give you away?" I asked pleading internally that he would let me. He gave a weak yes. "I had you when I was young too young. You know how your mom has food and clothes for you. I didn't. I wanted to but I just couldn't and I gave you to people who would get someone who could. That's when they found your mom." I waved my hand for him to come to me. His head hit my chest so fast I almost lost my breath. "Your mom is a good mom right. Loves you, feeds you, and takes care of you right?" His short hair tickles my chin.
I could tell he really did love his mom but he was happy to finally know the truth. It was if he believed it or not that mattered in the end. I said the same three words that if my own parents had said to me would be meaningless but I knew meant the world to him. 'I am sorry' because I truly was. One day he wouldn't get that I couldn't possible take care up him in my condition as well as doing it alone.
I run my fingers through his hair for a while until his sniffles stopped. He begged Regina to take him up to bed and Regina did knowing he must be worn out. I didn't expect him to say anything to me and so when he left without a word I tried to not let it hurt. I wanted him to understand but this was just him not being sure what to do or say to me.
"He asked if you meant it? I told him to rest and then ask you himself." Regina came back in the room and wrapped her arms around me. "But I know you're sorry and that what you said is true. He's just going to take a little longer to get it." I couldn't help but worry that my kid could hate me and drag Regina away with him. I purposely kept my distance and this is why. Things always come up trying to tear me down.
i hadn't noticed I was crying again until Regina pulled me closer and leaned back so I could lay on her. Regina ran her hand up and down my back while saying it would be okay. I wish that I could take this as calmly as she was though I didn't know why she was so calm. Just the realization of her calmness made me pull back.
"what is it?" She asked surprised.
"Why are you so calm about this?"
"I'm not but I had prepared myself for this moment for a few months now and so the only thing that changes is that it's you."
"But-" and just like that I believe it hit her. She cut me off with an exasperated 'it's you.' She might be realizing now what this means for us.
"You, oh god what are you going to do if Henry is upset with you? What are we going to do?"
"I'm going to try showing him I'm still me. Unless you want me to go if he hates me." I won't force her to pick between us even if she already said she didn't want me to go. There's silence, just lingering, neither one of us ready to make a definitive response on what should happen next. That when in the middle of this silence when my phone vibrates I allow myself a moment to answer it.
My phone tells me it's my advisor.
"Hello David how are you." My nose still is stuffy so I sound sick. He asks if I'm okay which tells me it's obvious I was crying. " no I'm fine. what did you need." I had a choice he said but now I believe I was fainting for the first time ever, that is such a weird feeling.
Reviews please!
i know cheesy all over including the end but I wanted to give some kind of big exciting twist. It might not be everyday stuff but that's why this is fan fic. I can do what I want and hope you like my decisions. Let me know hope this chapter was for you.
Of course Henry was happy to know Emma in the show and had asked Regina to find his mom so I didn't make his reaction on the other end of the spectrum but a little of both happy and unexpected mad.
Regina had spent so much time looking for Henry's mom for him she forgot to think about this for her even as she found out it was Emma. Also yes I know most of you saw it coming.
