I am sorry for the delayed updates on all my stories. I have not had the best few weeks and my motivation to update has been lacking, but I am slowly getting back into it. For those who read my other stories, updates will follow/have already been done.
This is actually my last to update today so if you are fans of my stories Time or Secrets and Regrets you should totally check out the new chapters I put up. Also, for those who are interested I do have another story with a few chapters done which I was considering posting and wanted to hear opinions on whether I should or not. It is a final battle rewrite and will be SQ endgame for those who are interested. I will admit I love the first few chapters done so if you all want to see what I have in store, drop me a message in the reviews and I will post it either today or tomorrow.
Don't forget to review! Thank you for your patience guys. Much love.
After spending a few days at Storybrooke gathering evidence with Henry, it was time for Lucy, August and Jackson to head back out.
"Promise you will write as much as possible?" Henry asked sadly, them all nodding, having added his email to their address books so they could keep in touch secretly without Emma's knowledge.
"Of course Henry! We want to be updated as much as possible." He grinned, knowing they had been a huge help in helping him solidify his theory. Emma came up to them all, hugging each of her friends.
"I am going to miss you guys, again!" She complained, Lucy wrapping her arm around the blonde's shoulder.
"The next few months will go by fast we promise! We will be back before you know it."
"We want all the details of your secret love affair." August whispered, Emma smacking his arm.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." She whispered back, pushing her two sniggering friends away. She was approached by Jackson who gave her one last hug.
"Look after yourself out there okay?" He scoffed, rolling his eyes making her laugh.
"Of course we will. We will see you soon." Regina, Emma, Henry all stood and waved them off as they drove out of town, Emma sighing heavily.
"Come on kid, let's get you to school." After dropping Henry off, Emma and Regina picked up a coffee before Emma headed to the station. Regina picked at her fingernails nervously as she strolled alongside the blonde, Emma noticing how quiet she was being.
"Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I was just wondering if I could ask you something?" She cringed at how fast her sentence flew out of her mouth, Emma smiling as she stopped them at the side of the road.
"Slow down okay, what is going on?" Taking a deep breath, Regina met Emma's eyes, them sparkling in the sunlight making Emma's knees weak.
"I was wondering if you would go out for dinner with me tonight?" The widest grin spread across Emma's face, her head reacting before her mouth, it moving up and down enthusiastically.
"Of course I will. I would love to Regina!" With a smile, the brunette nodded, them carrying on with their walk. They stopped outside the station, Regina taking Emma's hand slightly in her own.
"I will pick you up from Mary Margaret's at 7?"
"What about Henry?"
"I will tell him I have a meeting, we won't be longer than 2 or 3 hours and he is always good when I find some new game to entertain him." Nodding, the two dispersed, Emma going to work while Regina headed to her office. Emma felt her mind wandering all day, the thought of going on a date with Regina exhilarating. The day flew by, Emma running to Mary Margaret's to get ready.
"You seem excited, where are you off tonight?" Emma grinned happily as she danced around the apartment in her sports bra and shorts, her hair in tight curls, her make-up light and perfect.
"If I tell you, you have to swear to keep it a secret." Mary Margaret grinned with curiosity, knowing it was only fair due to Emma keeping her affair with David a secret.
"Do tell." She whispered, Emma stopping in front of her, biting down on her tongue nervously before whispering back,
"I have a date with a certain mayor." She carried on dancing, Mary Margaret shocked to say the least.
"Wait so, Regina is- you know?" Emma shrugged, unable to keep herself still as she talked.
"I don't know if she is gay like me or bisexual or curious- but right now, I do not care- because I have a date with Regina Mills and I don't think anything could ruin my mood!" She cheered, Mary Margaret laughing as the blonde grabbed her hand and they danced together around the room, Emma turning the music on the radio up, Girls Just Want to Have Fun blasting out as they laughed loudly together. An hour later, Emma was dressed in a short red dress with her hair pinned to the side read for Regina to pick her up. She was still bouncing slightly in her flat red pumps, Mary Margaret coming up behind her, placing her hands on her shoulders to calm her.
"Steady girl, you are going to tire yourself out before the night has started." Nodding Emma swapped her bouncing with pacing, her yelp startling Mary Margaret as there was a knock on the door. She suddenly looked petrified, sharing a look with her new friend.
"You got this! Go!" She ushered, Emma nodding as she took a deep breath, opening the door. Regina was wearing a long black dress, her heels sparkling in the light, her hair straightened around her beautiful face. The two were stunned as they took the other in, Emma's face breaking out into a wide grin.
"You look, stunning." She whispered, Regina nodding back in amazement.
"Not as beautiful as you, miss Swan. May I?" She held out her hand, Emma nodding as she slipped out the apartment, Mary Margaret closing the door behind her with a sigh.
"They grow up so fast." She joked to herself as they headed out to Regina's car. They took the short drive to one of the few fancy restaurants in the small town, Regina having reserved them a window table. They settled into a small conversation while they decided on what to order, Emma going with the steak while Regina settled for the salmon. Regina couldn't help but be mesmerised by Emma as the blonde stood to order their drinks at the bar. She watched as she ever so slightly rocked her hips to the dull music playing in the background, how her long fingernails danced along the bar top while she waited, how her beautiful face glowed in the moonlight from the overhead window. She was breathtakingly stunning. Emma returned with a glass of red wine for Regina and a glass of white for herself, frowning as she saw the distant look in Regina's eyes.
"Is everything okay?" She asked, sipping as her wine slowly.
"Yes, I was just taking in the view." Emma frowned as she looked out the window, the town lit up in the distance making her head tilt with confusion.
"Emma, I meant you." Regina giggled, the blonde's face heating up as she laughed.
"Oh, I knew that." She joked, the two laughing in harmony. They spent the rest of the night eating and laughing, the two feeling overwhelmed with joy with the others presence. Regina dropped Emma off, the two not wanting to leave the others side.
"Maybe on our next date, we could finish in someone's bedroom." Regina winked, Emma raising her eyebrow at the brunette.
"Who says I agreed to a second date?" Regina knew she was kidding as the two burst out laughing seconds later. With a grin, Emma kissed Regina goodbye and fled the car, the taste on Emma's lips lingering long after Regina arrived home. Henry was sitting on the couch when she walked through the door, the aroma of her happiness shocking to him.
"How was your meeting?" He asked, Regina smiling as she guided him to bed.
"Boring. Goodnight Henry. She kissed his forehead before tucking him in, Henry still confused by her overwhelming aura of happiness.
"Goodnight." He whispered back confused, watching as she left the room. He straight away went to his computer, sending off a quick email to his 3 friends on the other side of the world.
I think Mom is planning something. She told me she had a meeting but was overdressed and come back happier than I have ever seen her. Something is off. I am going to discuss things with Ma tomorrow. Keep you in the loop. Henry.
"Hey guys, come look." Lucy shouted to August and Jackson from across the tent, her tablet screen lighting up their faces.
"I bet $10 she went on a date with Emma." Jackson commented, August nodding his head in agreement.
"Henry is not going to be happy when he finds out about this." He stated, Lucy cringing.
"Should we warn Emma?" Jackson shook his head, heading back over to his bunk.
"Give him a week and if he gets more suspicious we should give her a heads up. For all we know, they could have never even gone on a date." They all nodded, deciding to let Henry play out for a while longer, hoping he never got hurt in the process.
