Chapter 9
Regina laid staring up at the ceiling, she had been awake for a while now. The blonde underneath her, however, was still deep in sleep. She looked down at the sleeping sheriff and ran her fingers through the blonde locks. At the touch Emma began to stir, Regina stopped, trying not to wake her, enjoying the closeness. Instead the blonde snuggled closer, Regina took this as a sign she could continue to run her fingers through the blonde hair.
The two laid like this, un disturbed for 20 minutes before Emma stirred once more, this time blinking awake. She looked up and hummed. "Mmm, hi."
Regina smiled and kissed the top of Emma's head. "Good morning."
Emma reached across Regina, trying to grab her phone. Before she could reach her phone, Regina was pulling her back close to her.
Emma laughed. "I need to check my phone Regina."
Regina kissed Emma's shoulder softly. "No, you don't. Stay here."
Emma smirked and quickly grabbed her phone before Regina could stop her. "Ha." Emma looked through her messages. She had a few from Snow, okay not a few, more like 10. Emma shook her head, then texted I'll tell you everything later, okay?
Emma looked at Regina, planted a quick kiss, then hopped off the bed.
Regina furrowed her brow. "Hay, come back. Where are you going?"
Emma laughed. "Am I allowed to pee Madame Mayor?"
Regina blushed. "Yes, Ms. Swan. You may pee."
Regina sat up on the edge of the bed, she ran her fingers through her hair, walked to the closet and grabbed a plaid button up. She went to a set of dresser drawers, opened the top drawer and pulled out a pair of Emma's boy shorts. She put on the shirt and boy shorts just as Emma was walking out of the bathroom.
Emma paused and noticed the brunette. She raised her brow and smirked. "And who said you could borrow my clothes?"
Regina bit her lip. "Well, considering mine smell like rain. I just took it upon myself. I can't walk around town naked."
Emma walked up to the brunette and put her arm around her. "No, but you can walk around here naked. Actually, I think I'd prefer it." She leaned in and kissed Regina.
Regina placed a finger on Emma's nose and smiled. "Yes, but we can't always get what we want, dear." She smiled and walked to the bedroom door.
"Hay, now where are you going?"
Regina turned and smiled. "Breakfast, I know how you eat Ms. Swan. I'm sure you could use a good homemade breakfast."
Emma shook her head. "Fine. But, only because you'll look good making it."
Regina laughed and walked out of the room and downstairs.
Emma watched her leave. She grabbed a tank top from a drawer and put on some boxers. She picked up the clothes off the ground and put them in the hamper. She smiled at the thought of the brunette's clothes mixed in with hers. She took a breath and smiled before leaving the room.
The morning was filled with flirting, lots of blushing, and small talk. The two enjoyed a wonderful breakfast of pancakes and bacon. It was the perfect Saturday morning. The two never wanted to leave their bubble, however, they knew that soon they would need to venture out into the world. They had a few people that were begging for explanations.
When breakfast was over the two took a quick shower, together. They tried their best to focus on just cleaning themselves, but hands had a habit of wondering. Regina smiled and kissed along Emma's pulse point.
Emma pushed Regina's shoulder slightly and looked into her eyes. "Hay now, I thought we said we were going to keep focus."
Regina smirked. "But messing with you is so much more fun." She leaned down and tried once more to lock her lips onto the blonde's neck.
Emma pushed her back and looked at her. "So, we have a few people that are expecting to hear the results of last night's rendezvous. Do you want to divide and conquer, or we just sit everyone down and tell them together?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, then simultaneously came up with an answer. "Together."
Regina laughed and leaned her head back down, once again putting her mouth on Emma. This time she wasn't stopped. Emma gave into the brunette, leaning her head against the wall. Regina smiled and moved her hand down Emma's body. The two allowed themselves to melt into each other.
After an hour long shower the two were finally able to keep their hands to themselves and finish the actual shower part. After another hour of getting dressed the two were ready to face their eagerly awaiting family, and ruby of course.
Emma looked at the beautiful brunette finishing her makeup in the bathroom. She smiled as her eyes followed up the toned body. "You know, you do look amazing in my clothes."
Regina was wearing one of Emma's skirts, with a nice blouse. Regina was pleased she found something at least similar to her normal style. She turned to look at the blonde and winked. "Now every time you look at this outfit, you will think of me."
Emma moved towards the brunette and wrapped her arms around the front of Regina. She leaned forward and placed a small kiss on Regina's neck. "Believe me, no matter what you are always on my mind." She gave her one more good squeeze before backing away. "Come now, we don't want to be late."
Regina groaned as Emma released her grip and walked away. She looked into the mirror one last time and walked out of the room.
The two women stood on the sidewalk and stood in front of Granny's diner. What better place than Granny's right? The two hadn't moved for a moment, both very nervous. Regina put her hand on the small of Emma's back and looked at her. "You okay?"
Emma smiled and nodded. "Uh, yeah sorry. I'm good." The truth was she was very nervous, telling everyone made things real. It's not that she didn't want things to be real with Regina. It was just the event's that happened last night, and this morning, they were easy. The physical part of a relationship was always easy. Emotional, however, that was a little more of a challenge.
Regina glared at the blonde. "Hm, I don't believe you. But, we can talk more after okay?" She smiled as the blonde nodded. She knew Emma was hiding something, after all these years she had begun to be able to read the sheriff easily. She wanted to tear down the wall the blonde always put up when she was scared. However, she knew that conversation was one for later, in private. She reached down and grabbed the blonde's hand that fell beside her. She gazed into the bright green eyes and smiled. "You ready?"
Emma took deep breath and squeezed the hand that was locked with hers. She smiled and nodded. The two stepped forward and walked into the diner together.
When the door opened and the two walked in, they were greeted by several people with hugs and bright smiling faces. Everyone talking over each other all saying things at the same time. What happened? Are you guys together finally? Tell us everything!
Emma and Regina both held up their hands, overwhelmed with everyone. Emma finally spoke up. "Okay, whoa! Everyone sit down. Take a breath. We are going to eat and then Regina and I will tell you over dinner."
Everyone tried to protest, but stopped when Regina raised an eyebrow and glared.
Everyone tried their best to wait patiently for the women to tell them the answer to the question they already knew the answer to. Henry was finally the first person to gain the courage to ask what they all wanted to know. He knew that his brunette mother didn't come home last night and he knew she was with his blonde mother. He was very much aware of true love when he saw it, and just as everyone else, he was dying to hear it from them. He looked between his two moms and then opened his mouth. "So, are you two going to tell us why you gathered us here tonight? Or what?"
Emma and Regina exchanged a look and then nodded, telling each other they were both ready to do this. Regina cleared her throat and started. "Alright, Ms. Swan and…" Emma cleared her throat at the name. Regina placed a hand on Emma's knee. "Sorry, Emma and I have some news we all would like to tell you." She paused, looking around the large table. It was hard for her to take in. When she first created the curse she was all alone and then came Henry, and barely him at that. Now here she was years later and she had all these friends, no, family. She now had all these people in her life, she felt over whelming with love and support.
Emma noticed the pause and put her hand over Regina's. "We wanted to tell you, Regina and I have begun a…" She paused she realized she didn't know what they were yet. They both knew they loved one another, and that they shared true loves kiss, but what were they.
Regina noticed the paused and finished the sentence, hoping she didn't cross a line. "Relationship." She continued as Emma showed no argument. "Emma and I are now seeing each other."
Everyone shouted out in joy, once again talking over each other. See told you it was true love! Moms, I knew it! See Emma told you, you deserve a happy ending. Regina, I'm so happy for you.
"Okay, Okay. Hold on, everyone." Emma put up her hands and laughed. Everyone calmed down and listened. "We love the over whelming support." She put her arm around Regina's waist and smiled into the brunette's eyes. "However, talk one at a time. Yes, you all told us to go to one another and look, we listened."
Regina smiled and kissed the blonde's cheek, causing Henry to jump and hug his mothers. "I'm so happy. My mom's getting together, being together and happy. A child's happiest day is having both parents together."
The two women smiled and hugged their son. It was the picture-perfect moment. Their son hugging them with all their family gathered around them, overjoyed with their news.
Emma laid in bed and watched the beautiful brunette strip from her clothes from the day. "God, your beautiful."
Regina turned around and smirked. "Enjoying the view, I see Ms. Swan."
Emma glared at the brunette. "We are still going with Ms. Swan eh?"
Regina raised a brow and smiled, coming towards the blonde on the bed. "You like it though. Don't you Ms. Swan?" She leaned in and kiss the blonde softly before pulling away." She went towards the dresser and put on some pajamas. Tonight, they were at Regina's, which she was very thankful for. Now, she loved wearing Emma's clothes, but she didn't feel like herself. She enjoyed her silk pajamas and tight form fitting outfits, and the heels. God, she loved her heels.
Regina walked to the bed and sat down, looking into the greens eyes that just made her melt. "So, you ready to talk about that moment before dinner?"
Emma looked down, then sat up. She didn't want to talk about it, talking was the hardest part of a relationship. A part she was never good at. She never truly opened herself to any of her other ex's. Hook was as close as she got to opening herself up. However, when it came to Regina, she actually almost wanted to open up. Talking to Regina had always been easy. She took a deep breath, preparing herself. She was not ready, but she knew if she wanted this relationship to work she needed to be open and honest. And oh god did she want this to work. "I'm scared."
Regina looked at the blonde. Seeing the gears turning in her mind. She put her hand on the blonde's knee, letting her know she was there. "Go on."
"I'm scared that one day you will realize I'm to damaged. That I'm to broken to deal with. That…"
Regina interrupted her. "Emma, I love you. And part of what makes me love you is the history. You've been through so much and you are so strong. You don't let anyone tear you down. And that my love is what is truly beautiful about you." She leaned in and kissed Emma's lips softly.
Emma smiled into the kiss. She could feel her worries and fears melt away. Regina slowly taking down her walls was both scary, and the most amazing thing to ever happen to her. "I love you too Regina."
