Chapter 10

After they left Granny's, Emma took Regina home; they went directly to the master bedroom. Regina crawled into bed and Emma lay down beside her. Emma pulled the brunette near her and she let the Sheriff embrace her. Emma was cuddling her lover and at the same time she was trying to find the words that could possible bring some comfort to Regina in her mind.

"I love you." She finally said "Like Henry, I hope it is a girl, with beautiful deep brown eyes like yours."

Regina turned to her "I love you to. You're the best thing that happened to me since Henry. And now this baby, thank you for this wonderful gift." She kissed Emma's lips passionately, their tongues finally meeting they sucked and savored each other like if they had never done it before, Emma started caressing the brunette's back, when she got to her lower back she began pulling the blouse up, her hands spread thru Regina's skin so softly that she started to shiver. Emma reached Regina's breasts and caressed them over the bra. The Mayor on the other hand was licking, nipping and sucking the blonde's neck, savoring every inch of it, making her lover moan. Finally the blonde unclasped the bra so she could feel the warmth and the soft skin of the brunette's breasts in her palms, she pinched softly her nipple making Regina groan. As they were enjoying each other the doorbell sounded.

"I'm going to kill whoever is at the door. Wait for me, don't go anywhere." Emma gave her a peck and Regina started laughing "Where else would I go."

Whoever it was rang the bell again. "Coming, Jesus what's the hurry?"

"Mom?" Emma choked the word out, she was definitely not expecting this. "What are you doing here?"

Noticing the shock in Emma's face Snow decided to give a few minutes to her daughter so she could digest the fact that her mother of all people in town was standing at Regina Mills house front door.

"Hi honey, I just came to deliver you a plan that we made. In there you have the hours and the person who will be Regina's "bodyguard" so she is never alone during the day. I suppose that you'll be spending the nights here, despite the fact that I don't like the idea, so we didn't put anyone as her shadow during the night since she already has you." Snow blurted out all the information so fast that Emma could only blink her eyes and swallow.

"Ok, thanks. I still haven't talked to her about this, she will totally freak out."

Emma was taking too long so she decided to go to the door as well. As she was coming down the stairs she heard the last part of the conversation. "Emma, no way in hell I'll tolerate having someone watching over me all day, what about my privacy? Not mentioning the fact that probably half the people in that paper of yours will try to kill me even before Gold as a chance."

"Baby cooperate ok. It's for your own safety and the baby's." Emma gave her the big puppy eyes. Regina rolled her eyes "Fine. Just stop with the puppy eyes, you know it's my weakness."

"Thanks babe I knew you would understand." She kissed the brunette softly, forgetting that her mom was still at the door, they broke the kiss as soon as they heard Snow clearing her throat.

"I'm going to make us something to eat." Regina said and walked away without saying goodbye at the woman in the door.

"Can you please try and not rub your kisses in my face Emma?" she said with an irritated tone.

"Did I ever tell you to stop your PDA with David? I didn't so don't tell me I can't kiss my girl on my own fucking house." Her brow rose.

"That's different we are married." She stated.

"And she will be my wife." Emma stopped to think on what she had just said "When did I decide that I wanted her to be my wife? Well it doesn't matter the point is I do want to marry her, will she say yes? I hope so…" she came out of her thoughts to the sound of a controlled scream.

"What? Emma please tell me you're joking. You are just saying it to get on my nerves." Snow crossed her fingers behind her back hoping it was really a joke.

"I'm not joking and lower your voice she doesn't know nothing about this."

"You know what I'm leaving, it's better. See you tomorrow when you go pick up Henry." She waved her hand and turned around following the entry road to exit the property. Emma closed the door, took a deep breath and made her way to the kitchen.

"Did she already leave?"

"Yes, don't worry. What are you doing?" she asked embracing the brunette.

"Just a chicken sandwich. Not in the mood for cooking. Sorry."

"Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about baby. You know what? I'm in a mood to eat something else?" she turned the brunette in her arms so she could see her eyes. Emma's gaze was filled with lust and desire; it only took Regina a second to understand what her lover wanted. She offered her lips to Emma who immediately kissed them softly at first but once she parted her lips allowing the blonde's entrance she could hear a moan escape her when their tongues met.

Not wanting to waste time "Since this time we are alone in here I'm going to do what I wished I could've done the first time you invited me to dinner." Regina's head was spinning, as soon Emma said this words she knew that they weren't leaving the kitchen. "Really Miss Swan? In the kitchen? Where?" at this questions Emma lifted her up and sat her down on the top of the table "This table seems perfect don't you think?"

Regina didn't answer, instead she moved her mouth to Emma's earlobe licking it, moving away to kiss her love in the lips once again with hunger and need. Emma broke the kiss sighing, running her fingers through silky black hair "I need you just like I need oxygen in my lungs, just like I need blood in my veins, you are my heart, he doesn't know how to beat anymore without you." A small tear made its way down Regina's cheek, but it didn't get too far, Emma caught the tear with her tongue savoring it.

Before kneeling Emma pushed Regina's pencil skirt up lifting her a little from the table so she could pull the black lace panties down. Emma traced a line of slow wet kisses along the brunette's inner thigh making her moan and shiver, she loved to feel her lover's body shiver and tremble under her touch. Regina had her hands gripped on the edge of the table trying to hold herself, but she needed somehow to feel the blonde so she tangled her fingers on the wonderful locks of blonde hair feeling their softness.

Very slowly Emma started running her tongue across the entire length of Regina's slit, tasting her arousal, her tongue dips between her folds and curls under her clit savoring it, the brunette moans and tilts her head back closing her eyes and tightening the grip on the blonde locks. The sights and sounds of the brunette getting closer to her climax were making Emma even more aroused, but she kept on moving her mouth over her clit, even when she came undone inside of her moaning mouth.

"Emma I love you…" she couldn't breathe, she felt like she was in heaven her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

Emma made her way up kissing the lips she desired like air, Regina could feel her own taste on the blonde's mouth, she slowly moved her hand down slipping it inside of Emma's jeans feeling the wetness of her lover she didn't waste any time she needed to offer her the same pleasure she had felt just a moment ago. With circular movements she began caressing the blonde's clit, making her groan with delight, she started to move faster, driving her lover to the top of her orgasm as she came on her fingers, she kept her fingers on her clit until she came down from her high. She then brought her fingers to her mouth licking them slowly, watching the lust on Emma's eyes, the blonde took her fingers in her hand and sucked on them, after what she kissed the brunette both tasting each other's arousals. They only broke the kiss so they could breathe.

Emma nuzzled in Regina's neck as they wrapped their arms around each other, sharing their warmth.

.

At 8am of the next morning Regina opens the door of her house to meet a smiling Ruby. "What the hell is she doing here?" as if reading her thoughts Ruby says "Good morning Regina. I'm your first "bodyguard" of the day, are you ready?"

"Good morning Miss Lucas." She didn't quite know how to act around Ruby so she just decided to call the woman who surely knows. "Emma…" she shouted.

"Wow, you do have nice lungs." Ruby said.

"Hey Rubes. Good you are already here. So you'll take her to City Hall and no matter what she says you will stay with her in her office. At lunch time you'll take her with you to Granny's, I'll meet you there." Regina was frowning.

"You know that I'm still here right Miss Swan?" she said with a harsh tone "You're really going to make me have them after me all day?"

"I know you're here and I also know your stubbornness and yeah they will follow you everywhere it is for your own good. Don't look at me like that I just want to protect you babe." Emma said to her with a loving look.

"Fine, I guess I'll go to work now. See you at lunch." She said with a sad smile on her face.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Emma said with a smirk on her face.

"What dear?"

"My kiss goodbye." She smiled and kissed the soft lips of the brunette that took a second to respond to the kiss she immediately started to enjoy. "There, now you can go." They shared a smile and parted ways.

Once they got to Regina's office, Ruby started to look around so she could know better the place in case of anything happening.

"Make yourself comfortable Miss Lucas."

"Can you just call me Ruby please I don't like being called Miss Lucas that much."

"As you wish, but do make yourself comfortable. It's going to be a long morning." She said and then made her way to her desk and started working on some paperwork that her assistant had left there.

Meanwhile Ruby was observing her. Her facial expressions, her body language, she still had her regal posture but she didn't look like the Evil Queen anymore. When she looked closer she couldn't see the anger, the hunger of vengeance in her eyes anymore. Regina Mills was in fact a changed woman and she wanted to know how much, she wanted to know the new woman that was in front her, she knew it wouldn't be easy but she would find a way.

"Miss Lucas… sorry Ruby can you please stop staring at me?" she said without getting her eyes out of the papers.

"Did she just say sorry? Please? Oh my god the evil queen would never use those two words in the same sentence and much less to me." She cleared her throat "Sorry. I was just wondering if you would let me start to know you better."

Regina frowned her forehead in surprise "And why would you want to do that?" she said lifting her eyes from the papers and focusing on Ruby.

"Well first I'm Emma's friend and I love her, second you make her happy and I just want to know the woman that snatched her heart."

"I see. I guess I can try but I'm not promising anything." At this she went back to her work. Ruby smiled "That's better than nothing."

During the morning Ruby saw her interact with different kind of people on the phone her tone and her speech always in unison with the kind of conversation she was having. Then she got a call from Henry and that changed everything her facial expression softened she had an honest and beautiful smile that illuminated her face, her eyes were filled with love and her voice was gentle, she had a tenderness in her that Ruby never thought it existed inside that woman. On that specific call she saw a little of what Emma sees in her that has nothing to do with the cold hearted bitch they all know as Evil Queen.

"Are you hungry?" Ruby asked.

"A little, it's almost lunch time, if you want we can get going."

"Cool, let's go. I'm starving." She jumped out of the chair she was sitting and both of them made their way to Granny's. Once they got there they both sat in a booth.

"Are you going to stay with me the afternoon too?"

"Nope. David is."

"Oh god. Really? I'm so screwed." She putted her hands on her face trying to calm down.

"Hey, don't worry it's going to be ok, David is not that bad." She offered a kind smile.

"You don't understand, he hates me, in fact everyone hates me I just can't figure out why don't you?"

"Not everybody hates you, maybe they are just a little upset. I'm not saying that I'm not a little upset about what you did but I think you deserve a second chance, so I'm giving it to you." She said honestly and Regina could see it in Ruby's eyes.

"Thank you Ruby." At this they heard the door open and there it was Emma. She made her way to their table.

"Hey beautiful." She kissed her softly on the lips.

"Hi sweetie." She smiled back.

"I'm starving. Ruby will you get me a burger and fries please?"

"Hi Ruby everything ok? How was your morning? Thanks for asking Emma so sweet. I'll get your burger and the usual for Regina." And she walked away and left Emma laughing.

"You know she's right, you could've at least saluted her."

"Really? Are you defending Ruby babe?"

"She spent the morning looking out for me, I guess you could at least be nice to her." Regina said with a serious tone of voice.

"Ok, ok, you're right, sorry." Looking at Ruby she said "Rubes wanna lunch with us?"

Ruby's eyes sparkled "Yeah, sure. Thanks."

They were finishing lunch when David walked inside the diner and he wasn't expecting to see the three women laughing and having a good time, in fact he couldn't remember ever seeing Regina laugh before. He approached them.

"Good afternoon ladies."

"Hi David." Ruby and Emma said at the same time, Regina simply nodded.

"I'm just going to get a coffee and whenever Regina wants to leave just call me." And he walked away towards the counter.

"This is going to be a long afternoon." Regina said and Emma putted an arm around her shoulders.

.

She was once again in her office and this time was David walking around. "Can you please stop for a while you're making me dizzy." She finally said.

"Sorry, just a little nervous I guess." He took a seat on the chair in front of her desk.

"You go from make me dizzy to staring, if there is something you want to know just ask."

"Ok, tell me how this happened?"

"I didn't want it to happen if that's what you're really asking. In fact when I realized what I was feeling I tried to bury it, but Emma just wouldn't let it go. I know that maybe this is something you don't want to hear but she was the one who pushed me, she was the one who came after me." She said feeling good with herself for finally being able to tell what really happened even if that meant sharing it with David.

"I know that when she gets something on her mind no one can make her think otherwise and the fact that a couple of days ago she went out running after you means that she was the one refusing to let you go. I'm not going to say that I'm thrilled about this but I'll get used to it. Just promise me that you won't hurt her." She could see that he was being honest and she didn't expect him to be so understanding about this whole situation.

"I promise I won't hurt her."

"Ok, I don't know why but I believe you." And this was all they said in the entire afternoon until he got her home leaving her with Emma.

"Hey baby how was your day?"

"Long, really long I just need a nice shower and then bed."

"No way, you need to eat something. Go take your shower and I'll get you something to eat." They kissed and the brunette made her way to the bedroom.

She was already in bed when Emma came in. "I've brought you a soup." The blonde smiled at her.

"Thank you sweetheart." Emma watched her eat in silence, once she finished she came to the kitchen and left the bowl in the sink and went right back to the room.

She got in the bed and opened her arm offering them to Regina. The brunette immediately came closer to her and laid her head in Emma's shoulder near her neck and the blonde closed her arms around her, giving Regina comfort. "Tomorrow is going to be better babe, you'll see."

"I hope so. I love you Emma."

"Love you too." And she turned the bedside lamp off.
