Part 10

Christmas

"Regina, not only is it Saturday night but it is Christmas eve and Henry is away. Forget the town paperwork, come and play with your wife." Emma said firmly leaning against the door of Regina's home office. This was her third attempt at getting Regina to leave her work alone for the holidays, she had come back every hour since her first attempt. This time though she had come armed.

"Not all of us can 'toss it off' with our paperwork Emma. Maybe if you left me be for a while, I would be able to get more done and faster." Regina started to turn around, intending to fix Emma with the stern stare that would make most people melt in terror but never Emma. But when Regina saw Emma's secret weapon, the look on Regina's face was made even more sexy and priceless by her 'sexy secretary' glasses.

Emma was wearing a skimpy, very short Santa outfit, that was showing ample amounts of cleavage. Barely hidden was Emma's red lacy thong and bra. Regina was staring at Emma, pupils like saucers, an eyebrow cocked over her glasses and mouth comically hanging half open.

"Now will you take a break?" Emma looked triumphant. "I wish I had my phone that look on your face is amazing. It could be my new caller ID." Regina threw her pen on the desk, not caring where it landed and was about to remove her glasses. "Leave them on. I find them crazy sexy." Emma said in a sultry tone, before heading for the stairs and adding an extra sway of her hips for Regina's pleasure behind her.

Three hours later

"That was more than a break Emma." Regina panted after spending the last three hours having amazing sex.

"But don't you feel a lot more relaxed?" Emma sighed, laying in a tangle of limbs with Regina. Regina wanted to argue. She hated that she always gave in to Emma so easily, but she could never resist her wife for long.

"Relaxed? More like sexual bliss." Regina confessed. Emma laughed satisfactorily.

"Then I have succeeded in my wifely duties."

"I struggle to resist you under normal circumstances Emma. I turn around and find sexy Santa and there's not a chance I could say no. Totally powerless." Regina sighed, resigned to her weakness.

"Well your satisfaction and relaxation is my duty, and I take it very seriously." Emma said, sounding very official.

"Yes, every surface in my office can attest to that." Regina said.

"Excuse me, you aren't exactly innocent dear Regina! There are several desks and offices at the station that could tell stories of your seductions tactics. Should I talk about the cells?" Emma countered. Regina feigned innocence.

"I would never do such a thing." Emma barked out her laughter and kissed Regina.

"Yeah whatever you say, Queen sexy ass." Emma said, totally unconvinced.

A couple of weeks after thanksgiving, Emma had asked what Regina wanted to do for their first Christmas. Regina had hinted at having a few people over and making a big dinner. After Regina's stress attack during thanksgiving, Emma wasn't too keen on Regina cooking for loads of people. So she just hummed and let the subject die, until she could orchestrate the whole thing while making life easier for Regina. Every person Emma invited was going to bring food. Granny was planning on doing something at the diner and had bought a turkey the size of an ostrich, instead she was going to bring it to Emma and Regina's. Belle was cooking a large ham, other people were bringing various dishes. The whole meal would be covered, all Emma and Regina had to do were various vegetables, potatoes and drinks. When Emma had arranged everything she told Regina, who wasn't very happy but also knew Emma was only trying to give Regina what she wanted and make like easier for her, so she graciously accepted.

Regina woke up Christmas morning with Emma's head resting on her naked chest and her arm draped over her stomach. Looking at the clock, it was nearly 9AM, and David would be dropping Henry off soon. Time to wake the dead. Regina held Emma's cheek, gently brushing her cheekbone.

"Emma wakey wakey. I have something for you before Henry gets home." Grunting and stretching Emma didn't try to go back to sleep.

"Uuuummmm Christmas morning sex?" Emma asked hopefully, sounding groggy with sleep.

"Oh you sound so cute. Alas no." Regina smiled. "Something different." Regina waved her hand, and with a cloud of purple smoke she conjured a large envelope and handed it to Emma. Emma pushed herself up the bed and leaned on her elbow, to open the envelope. Once she had viewed a few of the papers, realization dawned on her and her face lit up.

"Is this for…?" Emma looked at Regina who nodded, knowing the rest of the question.

"The honeymoon we talked about last month." Regina finished Emma's sentence. Emma who was crap with words, could only think of one way to convey her feelings. She held Regina's face kissing her hard and full of passion. When Emma pulled away, Regina had a hand behind her neck, stroking gently.

"Thank you." Emma breathed, falling into Regina's warm honey gaze.

"You're welcome. It's ten days not fourteen. I haven't been away from Henry for that long before. And I hate to think of the state City Hall would be in." Regina babbled her concerns.

"It would fall apart without you." Emma said very seriously. "I think David will keep the town and residents from going to hell to be honest." Emma soothed.

"Do you think he will do your job and mine?" Regina joked.

"You could ask, but you may not like the answer. I'm sure everything would be fine without you. And the break will do you the world of good." Emma added.

"I am sure you will see to my relaxation." Regina said, raising an eyebrow pointedly.

"That's what a honeymoon is for." Emma pointed out, smiling naughtily.

"Mum's?" Henry called out from the hall.

"Come in Henry." Regina called, as they pulled up the covers.

"Merry Christmas." Henry said poking his head through the door.

"Merry Christmas Henry." They both answered.

"Have you had breakfast?" Regina asked.

"Yes, before I came home."

"OK. Well we will be down shortly and you can open your presents." Regina told him, before he retreated to his room, not wanting to accidentally happen upon his mum's doing something dodgy.

"Thank you Regina. I can't wait." Emma said again.

"I can't either." Regina smiled giving Emma one last kiss. "Time for our first family Christmas." Regina said. Something Emma nor Regina ever thought they would have, and they intended to enjoy the experience together.

The three of them gathered around the large tree Emma had brought home and opened their presents. A while later Emma and Regina began cooking and setting up everything for Christmas dinner. David came over early to help set up the tables. Nothing had changed with Emma, David, and Regina. Whenever Mary Margaret was present, she may as well have been a hat stand for all the attention she got from Emma and Regina. It was also affecting David and Mary Margaret's relationship. David believing the past should be forgotten and what happens now is what matters. David resented that Mary Margaret was pushing their daughter away over things that have long past. So David was alone today and seemed to be enjoying himself.

Two large tables were groaning under the huge amounts of food and drink, and was surrounded by happy chatting people. Henry was sat with Nick, Ava and Paige. Ruby, Granny, Belle, Jefferson and the dwarves were sat together. Ashley and Aurora were sat with their boyfriends. David was sat at the head of the table with Emma and Regina. Ruby stood up clinking her glass with a spoon.

"Hey people can it for a minute." She almost shouted when people wouldn't shut up. "I would to propose a toast. To our hosts Emma and Regina. Thank you for your amazing Christmas dinner. And congratulations on the two of you finally finding your happy ending." Ruby put a hand on Granny's shoulder. "We feel honoured to have been able to be share your happiness. To Emma and Regina." Ruby cheered.

"To Emma and Regina." Everybody toasted while the two women blushed profusely. "Kiss her." Several people cheered. They blushed even more and Emma was surprised when Regina planted a deep and meaning filled kiss on her lips. It only took a split second for Emma to regain her senses and return the kiss, while people whistled around them.

After dinner almost everyone stayed and had some drinks, turning dinner into a Christmas party. It was a good thing Emma and a couple of other had brought plenty of booze. Many seemed to be after Regina's home made apple cider, which packed quick a punch. There was an unexpected knock at the door and when Regina opened the door her face fell.

"What, you didn't do enough damage during thanksgiving? Thought you would come and ruin Christmas too!" Regina spat at Mary Margaret, more of a statement than a question.

"I deserve that." Mary Margaret confessed.

"I want to apologise. To both of you. David is right, I need to let go of the past. Now is what matters and I see that Emma means a lot to you." Mary Margaret offered.

"Emma means the world to me and I would move the moon for her." Regina corrected.

"I know that now. I know that's all that matters."

"Emma." Regina called through the ruckus. A few seconds later Emma came out of the kitchen with a bottle of beer and a glass of wine.

"Regina, did you call?" Emma caught sight of the new visitor. "Oh it's you." Emma said coldly.

"Emma please just give me a minute." Mary Margaret pleaded. Emma rolled her eyes and nodded, thinking she must be crazy.

"I am so sorry I have been so horrible to both of you. I couldn't let go of history and see what was right in front of me. Your father was the wiser man and I didn't listen to him. I have a long way to go before I earn your forgiveness I know. But I am willing to try." Mary Margaret finished. Emma was stone faced for a minute, thinking this over.

"It's a start." Emma said, handing Regina her glass then walking back to her conversation with Belle and Ruby.

"I'll take what I can get." She said to Regina as the taller brunette shut the door behind her.

"Drink?" Regina offered.

"Am I allowed some of your cider?" Mary Margaret asked optimistically.

"If there is any left, sure." Regina smiled.

"Mum's can I go over to Nick's the night to play some new video games?" Henry had found his mothers together in the living room, chatting to Ashley and Philip. Before Emma could think about it Regina had answered.

"Sure, it's Christmas, have fun. Is his dad picking you up?" Regina asked.

"Yes he'll be here soon. Henry said, excited.

"Well go get your things." Regina told him.

Emma gave him a questioning look.

"I thought I could be Mrs Clause tonight." Regina said in a sexy burr in Emma's ear, then laughed when Emma closed her eyes and shuddered. Ashley and Philip laughed, guessing Regina had something naughty planned for the night after they had turfed everybody out of their house.
