AH! I forgot to post it last night. I finished writing it but I thought "Yes! I've finished, now I can rest." I completely forgot to post it! Thank you to hotkillerz for telling me that I hadn't posted. Anyways, you excited for this? Well, if you weren't you wouldn't have read this far. If you have read this far, thank you so much. The support brings me so much joy and urges me to continue. Y'all are the reason this has gone so far and I thank you all. Anyways, here's your SQ, take it and savour it.
She gasped awake, her parents, Henry and Hook surrounding her. She was in her own bed in her house.
"Sweetie." Snow said and pulled Emma into a hug. David and Henry shortly followed.
"Honey, we're so sorry." David apologised.
"Why?" Emma's voice was dull and emotionless.
"We didn't fight hard enough for you and you nearly died." Henry explained. "We're still waiting for Regina to wake up."
"Don't apologise. You've always fought hard enough for me. Don't be sorry. Not for me at least. I am sorry, Henry, but Regina's…" She closed her eyes to contain her tears and gulped. "…gone." She couldn't say dead. Henry chuckled causing Emma to open her eyes and look perplexed. "What?" Hope shimmered inside Emma. She heard a groaning from across the room. She sat up and the others surrounding her stepped away. Emma threw her sheets off and ran to the figure on the couch. She had shiny, brown hair, beautiful, peaceful, closed eyes and a cute, little scar above her pretty lip. Emma gasped as Regina's eyes fluttered open.
"Emma?" Regina whispered and Emma made a watery laugh, two tears trailing down her cheek. Regina swiped them away, tears threatening to spill from her own eyes.
"Regina. Are you alright?" She tilted her head to match the angle Regina was lying at.
"Of course, but how am I alive?" Regina stared at Emma's green eyes adoringly.
"I…split my…heart." She spoke shyly, Regina became breathless.
"How did you know that would work?" She whispered. Emma turned pink.
"I…didn't." Emma shrunk in embarrassment, expecting Regina to call her an idiot. Instead, Regina grabbed Emma's neck and pulled her in, their lips colliding. Emma put her hands on Regina's waist and the brunette stood up. Regina wrapped her arms around Emma's neck further and Emma responded by clutching Regina's waist, her arms around it tightly, obliterating the gap between them. They didn't hear the others exit nor did they care. Regina emitted a low moan, making Emma move her lips. Regina matched Emma's lip movements. They parted but only enough to catch their breaths. "How long have you been dying to do that?" Emma asked, her gaze flickering between Regina's eyes, individually, and her lips. Regina licked her lips.
"Too long." Regina said eagerly and pulled Emma in again. Their lips moving passionately, Regina's hand rummaging through Emma's blonde locks, whilst Emma's hands stroking up and down the brunette's back. They swayed, lost together in their world; no danger or death, just each other. They kissed until their lungs burned with the need for air. They parted, panting and grinning like idiots. They took a moment to even their breathing.
"Hey, Regina." Emma smirked innocently.
"Yes, Emma." The mayor's eyes were hazily trained on Emma's lips.
"I think that spell you put on me this morning was unfair." Regina was distracted. "I think I need some pay-back." Emma's smirk moulded into a mischievous one but Regina only found it more alluring.
"Uh-huh." Regina didn't really listen and started to lean closer to Emma. The blonde then started gripping Regina's hips and the brunette jolted awake. "Wait, don't you dare." She warned but she was too late. She tried to run away but Emma wrapped one arm around Regina's waist and tickled her with the other. "No, no, no. Aha. Em-Emma, sto-stop." She shrieked as she sunk to the ground. Emma pinned her down on her back and sat on her stomach, her knees either side of the laughing woman below her. She tickled Regina, loving her laughs and shrieks. Regina kicked and flung her arms around in resistance. "I ca-can't b-breathe, Emma, Stop!" She pleaded. Emma finally stopped and laid next to her, watching Regina recover. The brunette's hair was ruffled so Emma sweetly brushed it behind her ear, her hand lightly trailing her face before settling on her cheek.
"Regina?" Emma whispered.
"Yes, Emma?" Regina turned to her side to face Emma. Their faces were close.
"I love you." She beamed. Regina wanted everything to freeze. Just looking at Emma's brightness in her smile, eyes and just being so joyful and pure. She smiled as Emma said what they both knew.
"I love you more." Regina smirked. Emma scoffed.
"Yeah, right."
"It's the truth." Regina said smugly.
"No it's not." Emma retaliated. Regina put on a wild grin.
"Prove it." She said. Emma pushed Regina onto her back and straddled her, kissing her hard.
Here's a little teaser for the next update because I like teasing you guys: "Hey, Killian. I'm really sorry. We can still be friends, right?" He clenched his jaw and looked at Emma with an unreadable expression, worrying Emma.
