Chapter 9: Day of Fun

One Week Later

Thursday morning, the bright sun peeked through the blinds of Emma's room. She turned over as she slowly awoke from her slumber. Looking at her nightstand to check the time, she raised her hand to rub the fogginess from her eyes. Blinking, Emma's gaze focused to see her clock, and then something new. On her nightstand stood a clear vase with Camellia flowers placed neatly inside. On the outside, there was a white card with the words 'To my love' elegantly scripted on the top. Emma gathered that the brunette had used her key that Emma gave her a few weeks back and placed the flowers there. It made Emma smile to think of how normal they were and that Regina was already using her key. Sliding her legs over the edge of the bed, she picked up the card

Emma,

Like the meaning of Camellia flowers, you are the fire that lights up my heart. Thank you for giving me the happiest month of my life. I love you.

Always yours, Regina

A silent tear came down Emma's cheek and she quickly wiped it away before she put on her robe and walked to the kitchen. Henry was there sitting on a chair at the kitchen counter. He looked excitedly at the food he was about to eat. His favorite; chocolate pancakes with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Emma went over to the two. Regina looked up and smiled.

"Happy anniversary, dear." Regina said as she leaned in to kiss Emma. "I was going to bring you breakfast in bed, but someone decided to spoil my surprise." She said with a smirk.

"Thank you so much for the flowers. I truly love them." Emma gushed, a smile touching the corners of her mouth.

"Anything for you, darling." Regina said as she expertly flipped a pancake.

"How did you know that chocolate pancakes with cinnamon are mine and Henry's favorite?" Emma asked, wrapping her arms around Regina's waist as she pressed a kiss on the brunette's shoulder.

"A little blue birdie told me. I never reveal my sources." Regina winked, looking at Henry. He smirked and watched as she placed the finished pancakes on the plates and sprinkled the final ingredient on top. She brought the food over to the dining table, placing the plates in front of Emma and Henry before sitting down herself with her own plate.

Henry quickly dug in and loudly professed his love for her cooking. "I think you are my new favorite. Sorry mom." He gave the two women a smile with food stuffed in his mouth. Emma feigned hurt.

"I believe I have been replaced already." Emma joked as she took a delicious bite.

"The people have spoken, my love." Regina smirked.

"Well you can cook here anytime you want. Henry can attest to my half attempt at home-made food. The closest I can do is oven prepared pizza, hamburgers or that once in a lifetime lasagna I made for you." Emma snorted.

"Well that is what I'm going to do: teach you how to cook." Regina smiled proudly.

"Wipe that smile off your face. I'm bad, but I'm not that bad." Emma chuckled. She gently nudged Regina's side with her elbow.

"Sorry mom, but you kind of are. I just don't say anything because I love you." Henry smirked as he took another bite. He watched his mom and Regina interact with each other for the rest of breakfast, and it brought a smile to his face. Ever since he could remember, it had always been him and Emma. Nobody ever made it past his approval except for Regina. Something about her was different than the select few Emma brought home to meet him. Whatever it was, he hoped she would stay. His mom deserved happiness.

"So I have a few ideas for today. I know it is teacher workday for Henry, and we are both off, so what if we go to the arcade to start out? Fun day out?" Regina asked, looking at Henry and then Emma. Both sported the same grin. They were definitely mother and son.

"I love the idea, Regina." Emma said, placing her hand on Regina's.

"I am glad. We can go as soon as you want to." Regina finished up her food. Henry and Emma did the same.

"Okay, kid. Put on your clothes and get ready." Emma said as she gathered the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. Henry eagerly got up and ran to his bedroom. Emma turned around to find Regina walking towards her. "What are you looking at? Do I have something on my face?" Emma cracked. Regina smiled.

"You know, this is why I love you. You bring so much light and laughter to my life. I am just so glad you found me. Out of 6 billion people in this world, I am lucky that you chose to be with me." Regina said in all seriousness as Emma wrapped her arms around Regina's shoulders.

"At the end of the world, I'd still choose you." Emma whispered. She leaned in, giving Regina a kiss on her warm and inviting lips. The two stood there for a moment, frozen in time. Regina brought up her hands to Emma's face. She didn't want to end the kiss, but she knew Emma had to get ready before Henry beat her to it, so Regina broke the kiss.

"You might want to get ready. Your very impatient son will be out soon." Regina smiled.

"Come with me. You need something other than what you have on right now." Emma laughed as she walked, hand in hand, with Regina to her room. Regina looked down at her outfit.

"What is wrong with what I have on?" Regina asked, truly confused.

"Babe, we are going to a arcade park. You are dressed to testify." Emma nodded to the brunette's white silk blouse, pencil skirt and short heels. "Don't get me wrong...I love what you have on. It's really sexy in a hot teacher or librarian kind of way, but you will thank me later." Emma walked to her closet and pulled out two shirts, and two pairs of jeans.

"I guess they did not exaggerate when they said that girlfriends eventually share clothes." Regina rolled her eyes.

"Try it on." Emma shoved a red short sleeved V-neck shirt and skinny jeans into Regina's arms.

Regina laughed. "Pushy, are we?" She raised her eyebrow.

"We can either do this the easy way, or the hard way." Regina watched carefully as Emma walked sexily over to her and pulled Regina by the top of her skirt, thus, pulling the two closer together.

"What if I want the hard way?" Regina swallowed thickly; the tone in her voice dropping to her deliciously lower timbre.

"We can find out tonight, if you want." Emma winked and walked away to get her clothes. As she walked to her bathroom adjoined to her room, she casually dropped her robe, baring all of her glory to the brunette who stood frozen in place. Emma smiled as she turned around once she got in the bathroom and closed the door. Regina quickly picked up her jaw and put on the clothes that Emma gave her.


About 20 minutes later, Emma came out of the shower, this time, fully dressed. She had on her blonde wig that she bought the week prior from the same beautician that shaved her head. Wearing the wig made her feel like her old self, and anything that made her feel normal again was okay in her books.

Emma walked closer to where Regina was, who stood up from the bed. Her jaw dropped to see how hot her girlfriend looked in her clothes. She just couldn't stop staring at how the red top and jeans hugged her every curve, making it hard for Emma to keep her hands to herself. Regina turned the same color of her shirt, noticing how Emma undressed her right there with only a sultry gaze her way.

"You look beautiful, dear." Regina kissed her softly.

"I could say the same for you, but the thoughts in my head, like how hot you look in my clothes, would have you blushing." Emma's fingers slid down Regina's toned but covered abdomen and slid around to her ass. She gave it a slight squeeze. "Can't have that in a kid friendly place, now can we?" She leaned in and whispered into Regina's ear. Regina scrambled to say something, and as she started to reply, small footsteps outside Emma's door made the women immediately back away as if they were caught under the bleachers by a teacher. Henry's wispy brown hair appeared from beyond the door.

"Mama, I'm ready! Let's go!" Henry told his mother. He was growing impatient with the two women.

"Okay, bud. We are coming." Emma laughed and grabbed her essentials before she and Regina left her room and made their way to the front door.

"He is more excited than us, I think." Regina shook her head as she closed the door behind her when the three walked out.

"Trust me, this is the tame version of Henry. Wait until we get there." Emma said as they all got in Regina's car. Emma was happy to experience this day with her two favorite people in the world. She took her hand and placed it over Regina's as Regina shifted into reverse. Regina smiled, loving the simple display of affection she received from her girlfriend. She couldn't imagine spending her day with anyone else except for the two that sat, happily, in her car. It was going to be a great day.
