Regina woke up to the most delicious smell. She slowly stretched and sat up with a smile. "I haven't slept like that in ages." Then she opened her eyes. Regina didn't recognize her surroundings. "Oh god, this isn't my bedroom." Just as she started to freak out, Emma walked in with a cup of coffee.

"Oh! You're up! I was about to come wake you up." She said with a smile.

Regina sighed in relief, "Good morning. May I ask how I got in here?"

"Oh yeah well, you fell asleep last night, and I tried to wake you up but you refused to get up, so I carried you into my room then I slept on the couch."

Regina blushed, "I'm so sorry for imposing like this. I guess I was exhausted from all the work I've been doing."

Emma laughed, "Trust me Regina, this is no problem. I've got a beautiful woman in my bed. So no complaints from me." Emma smirked and handed Regina the cup of coffee.

"Thank you dear." Regina took a sip of coffee and felt the caffeine course through her system. "Ah, nothing like a good cup of coffee in the morning." Regina then caught another whiff of the delicious smell she woke up too, "Emma?"

"Yes?"

"What is that amazing smell?"

Emma laughed, "I made pancakes! I know you love apples so I made some cooked apples. The perfect combination pancakes and cooked apples."

"What are cooked apples?" Regina asked in confusion. "This woman and her food, I swear."

"They are basically apple sauce but not complete mush. You cut up the apples and put them in boiling water and let them soften up then add some spices. My secret is adding cinnamon before putting the apples in the water, it gives them more of a kick." Emma said in a proud tone.

"Sounds wonderful." Regina stood up and walked towards the kitchen with Emma close behind her. Regina sat at the small bar and waited for Emma to fix the pancakes.

"Whip cream or no?"

"No thank you. You are going to spoil me with all of your sweets!" Regina said with a laugh.

Emma just hummed in agreement. She staked three pancakes on top of each other will a little bit of the cooked apples in between to act like a glue, then poured a good helping on top. "One short stack for the lovely lady."

"That looks delicious Emma! I could live off your cooking forever!"

Emma just laughed. "You would get tired of sweets after a while. I'm not the best at cooking normal food. I can make steak and that's about it."

"Why steak?"

"When I got out of the system, the first thing I did was went and got a job. I knew what it was like to not have enough money for the simple things you need. So once I got enough money, I went to this restaurant and got a steak. I had always heard about this 'amazing piece of meat'. So I wanted to try it, and I loved it. From then on I would try to make steak as often as possible. Just you know, as comfort food."

"I don't think I've ever met someone who thought steak was comfort food."

"I'm not like other people." Emma said with a wink. "Now hurry up and eat those pancakes they are going to get cold."

"Yes ma'am!" Regina smiled and took a bit out of the pancakes and melted. "Emmma! How do you make such good food! You are going to make me fat!"

Emma blushed but had a proud look in her eyes, "Thanks Regina, I do try."

"You do more than try! You are a cooking guru!"

Emma busted out laughing. "A cooking guru?" Emma bent over to hold her stomach as she laughed. She finally caught her breath, "really? A cooking guru?"

"Yes! Thanks so much for making fun of my compliment to you."

Emma leaned over the bar and pulled Regina into a soft kiss, "anytime."

Regina sat with her eyes closed trying to catch her breath. "Emma Swan you take my breath away." Regina cleared her throat. "Well, uh..."

Emma just smiled. "Eat your pancakes beautiful."

Once breakfast was over and the dishes were cleaned and put away, Emma and Regina were lingering in the doorway.

"I don't want to leave." Regina whispered.

"Then don't. We could do another movie marathon!"

"I wish I could stay but I'm late for work and mother is going to kill me." Regina said with a frown.

"Ugh work. I totally forgot about opening up the shop! Oh well, one morning won't hurt anything. This morning was much better than working."

"This has been the best mornings I've ever had."

They both awkwardly blush and look away from each other. "So uh, I'll text you later?" Emma asked.

"That would be wonderful. I love your texts, it makes my work life bearable."

Emma laughed, "Anytime!"

"So I guess I should go."

"Yeah I guess so."

Regina smirked, "do I get a goodbye kiss?"

Emma laughed, "well you have been good..." She slowly leaned in, Regina closed her eyes and waited. Emma ghosted her lips across Regina's and kissed her on the cheek with a smack. "There you go!"

Regina huffed, "that wasn't what I had in mind!"

"Oh really? And what did you have in mind Miss Mills?"

"Something like this." Regina pulled Emma to her and connected their lips. Emma groaned and put her hand in Regina's hair and held her in place. They women quickly became breathless and had to pull back for air. They rested their foreheads against each other and just stared into each others eyes.

"Some goodbye kiss huh?' Emma said.

"Yeah, but now I really don't want to go." As soon as the words left Regina's mouth, her phone went off breaking the comfortable bubble the women found themselves in. Regina frowned, "It's my mother." She sighed, "I guess I have to go now. I will see you later Emma."

"Bye Regina! Have a good day at work. I'll text you sometime." Emma replied with a smile.
