Chapter 8
Emma's first conscious thought was the fact that her stomach was being deliciously tortured by eager lips and teeth, and that hands were sliding up her sides to tease her breasts. She gasped when she felt a hard bite to the sensitive spot just below her belly button.
Fully awake now, Emma opened her eyes to look down. Regina was hidden under their light bed sheet pushing her legs apart. Emma's entire body coiled when her clit was sucked between gentle lips, and teased with a tip of a tongue.
"Fuck!" She grunted, trying to control the intense pleasure shooting through her body.
Regina held on tightly to Emma's hips as she tried to squirm away and pull her closer at the same time. She did not relinquish torturing Emma's body until she had made cry out three times. When Emma pushed her head gently away, she came out from under the sheet chuckling at her wife called uncle.
"Good God, baby." Emma panted still trying to catch her breath. "Good morning to you too."
Regina bit her lip shyly, "Good morning, my love."
"I am so not complaining, but where did that come from?"
Regina blushed, "I woke up this morning feeling awful for falling asleep on you. On our wedding night, of all nights."
"Aww, baby." Emma kissed her forehead with a giggle, "I took it as a compliment."
Regina leaned into her, but was still looking at her hands, "It's not that. I just-. It should have been romantic. Instead I passed out immediately after you made me, you know."
Emma didn't let her look away again, lifting her chin to smile wickedly at her. "If it makes you feel better, I came very hard with you last night."
Regina's eye glossed over, "Really?"
"Truly," Emma kissed her reassuringly and hugged her closer. "What you just did now, however? Gave me an out of body experience into another realm a few times over."
They intertwined their bodies, pulling each other into a deeper kiss. Emma's fingers had just pinched a tight nipple when they were interrupted by the vibration of a phone with a text alert. After a few more messages came through, Emma reluctantly pulled away to check. She shook her head with a chuckle.
"Who is it?" Regina asked.
"Henry. He's giving us a head's up that David and Mouse will be here in like 20-30 minutes to pick up Suzy and Daisy." Emma showed Regina the accompanying photo.
Suzy was sitting in the middle of Henry's bed, next to Daisy. Both the baby and the dog had baseball caps and sun glasses on their face.
"Oh, that's adorable," Regina used Emma's phone to forward it to herself before getting up from the bed and making her naked way to their en suite. She paused in the doorway, "Care to join me in the shower?"
Emma threw her phone on the bed and ran after her giggling wife.
….
The newlyweds walked out onto the front porch, freshly showered and changed, just as the Nolan's pulled up. Henry and Violet came from around the side of the house with Suzy and Daisy. Both the baby and dog's eyes lit up at the newcomers.
"Daddy! Mommy!" Suzy squealed as she ran to them. David swooped her up into the sky and down.
"Thank you both so much for taking her last night." Mary Margret moved to hug the younger couple. "That was very sweet of you two."
"No problem. It was fun having some time to the three of us. Just like old times, huh Suzy?" Henry high fived the little girl.
Violet agreed, "We did miss our favorited sweet baby-girl."
"Big girl Vi." Suzy reminded her, making the whole family laugh.
"Does Nina Emma get a hug and kiss goodbye?" Emma held out her hands and the little girl flew into her arms hugging her neck, and pressing a hard kiss to her cheek. "So what do you want from Hawaii, Suzy Q?"
The little girl made a face of concentration then yelled, "A turtle!"
"You got it!" Emma kissed her cheek then handed her to Regina for a turn. She motioned to David, "Give me a hand with Daisy's things will you?"
"Yeah," David followed.
"How about a nice floral dress too?" Regina asked hugging and kissing the little girl too.
"What time's your flight to Maui?" Mary Margret asked.
"We need to leave here at six in the morning tomorrow." Regina filled them in as David and Emma loaded Daisy's crate and things onto his truck. "Thank you so much for looking after Daisy while we're gone."
"Of course. Anytime." David said, patting Henry on the back after he placed Suzy's overnight things in the truck.
"Where are you guys leaving your car in Boston?" Violet asked Emma. "You know, as part of the student council I have a free parking space at the university if you want to leave it there."
"That would be perfect dear, thank you. Then you two can drop us at the airport and you can have use of the Jeep while we're gone, and Henry will have his car," Regina nodded.
"My car?" Henry asked confused.
Emma and Regina motioned behind them to where two cars approached the homestead. One was Maddie driving Gran's old pick-up, and the other was an older navy blue VW bug. Gran parked the VW closely to the group, jumping out and throwing the keys to Henry.
"Wait, what?!" Henry's mouth flew open as he touched the roof in disbelief. "What?!"
"Emma, is this your old bug?" Violet asked excitedly.
"No. Sadly, Bailey bought the farm, and is long gone." Emma placed her hand over her heart.
Regina took her sons hands and smiled through small tears, "This one has been sitting under the tarp in the garage."
"You mean?" Henry's eyes widened and he immediately engulfed Regina into hug. "I can't believe you did this, Mom."
"Well technically I didn't." Regina motioned to Emma and Gran.
"You guys did this?" Henry moved to hug them too.
"Yup. Me and Jackie." Emma threw an arm around Gran's shoulders.
They had restored the old VW that had been stored in Regina's garage for as long as Henry has been alive. The 1968 VW Bug had belonged to Henry's biological mother who died giving birth to him. The notorious sound of its engine used to induce hard memories of Danielle for Regina. But after years of living with Emma and her own VW, she found she didn't mind as much anymore. The instinctual response to the car's engine had seemingly faded away.
Emma's eagerness to surprise their son had removed all doubt in the restoration of the car and the studio. They had agreed that Henry deserved a reward for his hard work getting to college and getting through his first year. When attempts to fix Emma's yellow bug for Henry were cut short, Regina agreed to restore Danielle's for him.
Emma and Jackie had worked on the practically pristine engine. The car having been well maintained while in use. Emma had it painted a dark Navy Blue, replacing the upholstery with white leather with blue race stipes running down the seats. The contrast came out amazing, and they loved the classic 60's look to the car when it was finished.
"Now aren't you glad I taught you to drive my bug after complaining you didn't need to learn to drive stick?" Emma crossed her arms and bumped his shoulder.
"Heck yeah." Henry reached over and squeezed Regina's arm gently, "Are you sure, mom?"
"Yes Henry. You deserve it." Regina cupped his cheek and leaned in to kiss his forehead. "I promise I'm okay. It's time to make new memories with it. And you deserve it."
"I also promised your mom that with the car, you would be able to visit more often. Better than taking the bus." Emma said in a tone telling him it was part of the package.
"Of course I will," he said hugging Regina again. "This is so amazing! Thank you moms." Henry hugged Emma then Gran. "Thank you so much Gran."
"You're welcome, kid. I was happy to do it." Gran released him so he could hug Maddie too.
Maddie pinched his cheek, "We may have also installed a brand new radio and sound system as an early birthday present."
He squeezed her again, "You guys rock so hard."
"There's also a rack that attaches to the roof for when you need to carry more stuff." Emma added. "Like our luggage when you drive us to the airport."
Henry chuckled, "You go it."
A horn sounded, announcing Violet's father had arrived, and the group all waved to John. She was going to spend the day with him before they all left to Boston the next day.
"See you guys bright and early tomorrow morning." Violet hugged Regina and Emma.
"Bye sweetheart," Regina said. "Thank you again for all you did yesterday."
"Of course." Violet hugged the Nolan's too and gave Suzy one last squeeze. Grabbing her bag from the porch steps, she quickly kissed Henry goodbye. "Bye everyone."
The Nolan's said their goodbyes as well, taking Daisy with them and leaving the small family on their own.
"So what shall we do with our day?" Regina hugged her son's shoulder as they headed inside. "Do you guys want me to make breakfast?"
"Why don't I make us some waffles and you relax?" Emma offered, sliding her arm around her wife's waist from the other side.
"Sounds like a plan. I'll help," Henry offered as they headed toward the kitchen. "Are you guys all packed for your trip?"
"Yes we are." Emma sing-song'd as she took out the ingredients and Henry grabbed bowls.
The phone rang, making three exchange questioning glances.
"I'll get it, dear." Regina said as she walked out to the foyer.
"Hey, who's running the gym while you're gone?" Henry asked Emma.
"Leroy is actually. He's been helping me out a lot more at the gym. Along with the construction of the locker rooms, he suggested and modified a couple of things in the building that really worked out." Emma filled Henry in, "He's also cut back on drinking a lot."
"Yeah I noticed he barely had two or three drinks last night." Henry washed strawberries for their waffles, as Emma readied the mix.
"I honestly think he's Zen'd out. It's freaking the brothers out a bit, though," She chuckled. "Even though his little transformation is kind of out there, the guys have all been really supportive."
"Nice." Henry began cutting the strawberries.
The mother and son duo continued to make breakfast together. Emma playfully shoving Henry aside when he was in her way, and getting into a towel snapping fight with each other.
Henry finished his prep work and took a seat at the island, "Hey Ma, I almost forgot to tell you. I got a letter the other day."
Emma saw the hesitation in Henry's face. "Yeah? From who?"
"Neal Gold," Henry nodded in silent agreement to Emma's facial response.
"Say what?" Emma's eyes had shot wide.
Neal Gold had been incarcerated for a little over two and a half years for his key role in an assault that landed Henry in a coma when he was sixteen. Neal and a group of his friends had cornered Henry on his own and beat him unconscious. With the help of surveillance footage, they had all been arrested and charged with assault.
All but Neal and his father had plead guilty and negotiated deals. Both Golds decided to lawyer up and fight the charges, and ended up receiving the harshest of the punishments. Neal, eighteen at the time, was sent straight to prison. His father, who had been brought up on multiple charges for trying to hide the crime, was sentenced to a separate facility.
Neal's troubles didn't stop in prison, though, as his multiple failed attempts at rehabilitation programs had him sent out of state.
"What'd he have to say?" Emma scoffed.
"Bull mostly," Henry laughed. "I could tell it was a cookie-cut letter of apology that he was probably forced to do. He was used words like 'amends' and 'peace.' I think he even said 'as a means to an end.' Neal Gold does not talk like that."
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure getting kicked out of the boot camp and all those other programs, his only other choice was anger management or therapy of some sort." Emma shook her head, "Are you going to write him back?"
"I've been thinking about it," Henry played with a pen he found, twirling it between his fingers.
"And what are you thinking?" Emma pressed.
Henry took a deep breath. "I'm thinking about laying things out. Let him know that despite him trying his best to beat me down that my life is amazing. That I feel bad that he can't say the same because of his decisions."
Henry seemed to pause in reflection, making Emma stop to watch him.
"What I really want to say is, if you weren't such a dick, you might be in college and have an awesome girlfriend like I do, instead of sitting in prison being the girlfriend."
There was a brief pause before the two of them laughed out loud.
"Oh, God, Kid. That would be hilarious." Emma pulled the waffles from the cast iron press.
"Sorry. Couldn't help it." He said, then shrugged. "I don't know, Ma. Maybe I will, maybe I won't."
Emma patted his shoulder, "Well, I know you'll be more sensitive about it, but I think it might be therapeutic for you if you do. Just get out what you want and don't expect anything."
Henry and Emma nodded in agreement as Regina came walking back in with tears in her eyes. Emma quickly went to her side.
"Babe? What happened? Who was on the phone?" Emma hugged her wife's side.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Henry quickly pulled out a stool for Emma to sit her down, then ran to get his mother a cup of water.
"Thank you, Henry." Regina said as she sat down and took a deep breath. She smiled brightly at the two of them, "That was the adoption agency in Boston that we applied with."
Emma's face lit up, "Yeah?"
"They've reviewed our applications and background checks. They want to set up a house visit for when we get back from Hawaii." Regina had renewed tears in her eyes.
"It's really happening." Emma said, holding Regina tighter.
"That's awesome, moms." Henry enveloped them both in a fierce hug. "So, what am I getting? A sister? A brother?"
Emma released Regina so they could both laugh at Henry's excitement.
"We actually don't care which," Emma filled in. "We want to keep an open mind about the children we meet. It's sort of a lengthy process, so we want to make sure we don't move over one child that might be in bigger need, just because he's a she, or vice versa. You know?"
"That makes sense." Henry agreed. "And the poor kid's going to be a part of our family, rather he or she likes it or not."
"Exactly." Emma laughed.
"Oh, you two." Regina dabbed her eyes with a napkin. "He or she will have a home. That's what counts."
Henry kissed Regina's forehead before turning to Emma with a faux scowl, "Where's my waffles, lady. I'm a growing man. I need my food."
Emma's eyebrow lifted. "How about you go do a couple laps around the property first, while your mom and I finish in here."
Henry blinked, "How about I make the coffee and shut the hell up?"
"That's my boy." Emma slapped him on the shoulder, pushing him toward the coffee maker. She then turned and kissed Regina soundly on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you too, sweetheart." Regina kissed her back.
…
Fourteen hours after take-off from Logan International airport, and a layover in Los Angeles, the girls were finally checked into their Honeymoon suite in Maui.
The suite was more of an apartment on the second floor of a small building on the resort's property. The only thing separating them from the Pacific Ocean was a narrow yard, the small road that led them to the resort property, and the small private beach.
The balcony through the living room sliding doors overlooked the coast, giving them a perfect view for sunsets over the ocean. That balcony also housed a small Jacuzzi that had the girls smiling enticingly at each other.
On their first night there, Regina wanted to unpack before unwinding. But firm lips on her neck and hands on her ass, had her forgetting her very name. Now that they were alone on a tropical island, miles away from anyone they knew and any distractions, things began a little primal.
In between hard heated kisses, Emma literally ripped Regina's panties off from under her sarong. She sat her on one of the kitchen island stools, dropping quickly to her knees to take Regina into her mouth. Regina moaned loudly and grip Emma's head until she was sure she was going scream.
Before Regina could climaxed, though, Emma jumped to her feet and dropped her jean shorts. She had snuck on one of their favorite toys under her Daisy Dukes, while Regina had gone to freshen up. Entering her quickly with the toy, Emma took hold of Regina's ass and lifted her off the seat, wrapping legs around her.
Regina absolutely loved when Emma showed her strength when they made love. Emma leaned her against a nearby wall and moved roughly against her, biting her chest and neck. It didn't take long for Regina to scream clenched to Emma's body. Gently placing Regina's feet back on the ground, she slowly slipped out of her. Kissing her forehead and supporting her wife's body so she could regained her strength.
Regina opened her eyes and looked down at the toy that was still half in Emma. She smiled mischievously and flipped their positions, pushing Emma against the wall. She took a hold of the toy and began fucking Emma in a fast rhythm, swallowing her moans of pleasure with a hard kiss. With Emma's arms around her shoulders, Regina latched onto her neck, making her come hard against her.
Later that night, they soaked their wonderfully sore naked bodies in their private Jacuzzi, sipping wine and relaxing. Nothing but the sounds of waves hitting the shore, and the sight of beautiful stars above them.
They spent their week in Maui sunbathing on the beach and going to the local markets for souvenirs and exotic foods. They visited a local vodka distillery and a goat farm that sold fresh cheese and wine. Feeling adventurous, they had even visited a clothing optional beach and sunbathed naked by the sea. They also had made love on every surface of their suite and the shower, and even their massive closet just for fun.
On their last night on the island, they had just finished packing their things for their departure in the morning, and decided to soak in their Jacuzzi one last time.
"Why do we live in a state that's freezing the majority of the year, when we can live here?" Emma whined.
"Because Storybrooke is our home and we love it," Regina laughed.
"Yeah, but you in bikinis, shorts and tanks. More skin than I've ever seen when we weren't completely naked at home." Emma pouted, "I'm going to miss Maui."
"We can always come back, my love. Maybe bring the kids with us next time." Regina suggested.
"Hey, that would be fun. Maybe Henry will go wind-sailing with me," Emma teased.
"Absolutely not," Regina said sternly.
"Jet skiing?"
"Maybe." Regina settled back against her wife's body. "Besides we have to go home. The first home visit is a week after we get back, and you and Henry need to start training."
"That's true." Emma squeezed her. "Wow reality coming back full force, huh?"
"Indeed. Are you nervous?" Regina asked quietly.
"About the adoption or the tournament?" Emma kissed her temple.
"Both," Regina leaned into the kiss. "I dare say, the thought of someone coming to our home to evaluate if we are fit to be parents is a bit stressful."
"Babe, we'll be fine. You've already raised a wonderful young man, and have shown what a wonderful leader you are in the community. We're going to be just fine. And when the time comes, we'll be giving another kid a fighting chance in this world."
"I know you're right, sweetheart." Regina squeezed the arms around her, "You're going to be an amazing mom too, Emma. I know you try to cover your worry by joking about it, but you already are an amazing mother."
Emma sighed, "No matter how much you tell me that, I still can't believe it. I never thought I'd be one. I just always figured it wasn't in the stars for me."
Regina turned in the water to face her. "Why? Emma, you're so great with children. Look at all the good you've done with the kids from the school program you started. A lot of those kids wouldn't have stood a chance at getting their PE credits without you."
"That has really has taken off hasn't it?" Emma smiled.
"Taken off? Sweetheart, it was an amazing idea. And having some of the high school senior's work with them for community service credits was another great idea." Regina kissed her sincerely, "You're great with kids."
"Thank you baby, but it's a little different, you know?" Emma shrugged with a grin, "I guess I never believed I'd find someone to do this with, but with you everything in my life is different. I know we can do it."
"Good." Regina turned to kiss her, "You are an amazing human being, Emma Swan-Mills."
Emma's smile deepened at her new surname. "Okay. I'll agree we're both badasses that are going to rock at parenthood. Again. Okay?"
"Good. That's settled then," Regina kissed her soundly.
"I love you baby. Thanks for always being my own personal cheerleader." Emma snuggled closer.
"Of course, my love." Regina tapped Emma's arms to release her, and moved to get out of the water.
"Where ya' going?" Emma asked, staying in the warm water and giving her wife a childish pout.
"I'm going to shower." Opening the sliding door, she looked over shoulder and added Emma's favorite invitation. "Coming?"
Emma smiled wickedly as she bit her lip, moving to jump out of the water. "Not yet!"
