Authors Note: Look its longer :D Hope you like it!
Regina sat in the living room waiting for Graham. She usually didn't wait on him, she really never waiting on him. But tonight she was, for one reason and one only, she 'couldn't sleep'. She didn't have to wait long, but to Regina it felt like he was talking forever but when she finally heard someone drive up she took off her robe and beneath laid a black lace see through outfit, she was wearing heels and tights that went to her knees. You could hear the echo of the heels through the house and when she got to the door and heard a knock she opened it "Graham." she greeted him and he was breathless "R-Regina." she smirked and invited him in after the door closed he lifted her up and kissed her deeply. Regina's back hit the wall, but then Regina broke the kiss and said "Graham, you can't stay tonight." he sat her down and looked at her "Why?" she put her hands on her hip. "What do you mean why? i have a court date tomorrow and Robin is coming over" Graham tensed up "And? So what if Robin is coming over." Regina smiled "Graham are you...are you jealous?"
Graham clinched and un-clinched his jaw and said "No." Regina put her hands on her chest "Good, because this-" she motioned between them "Is just sex." Graham stepped away from her "Just sex?" he asked and she looked confused "Yes, just sex. What did you think we were going steady?" Regina mocked Graham just stood there quiet for a few moments and then he took her in his arms and picked her up. Kissed her lips, ravished her neck. Hands on her ass, Regina's head fell back and she moaned when his mouth reached her breast and he bit the top of her breast. She smiled and said "Angry sex?" Graham snaked a hand up to the back of Regina's black lace shirt and undone it "Yes."
Regina woke up and rolled over, as she opened her eyes, blinking to get the sleep from her she was happy to see no one in her bed. Graham actually left. Regina looked over at the clock and saw that she had at least a hour before Emma woke up so she could jump in the shower. and get ready, maybe even fix some breakfast. So she jumped up and walked into the bathroom, turned on the hot water and when it was hot she jumped in.
After he shower she got dressed. She looked back over at the clock and she was making good time, so she went down stairs to make something to eat for Emma when she heard Emma call out for her and she turned back around and headed to Emma's room "Hey, look who got up early" she said with a smile and Emma jumped up "Can i wear Winnie The Pooh?" Regina smiled and said "No, sweety you have to look nice, remember we are going to a fancy court house today!" she said and Emma rubbed her eyes "Will it be fun?" Regina held back a laugh "Not for David." Emma smiled at Regina's laugh and asked "Who's that?" Regina's smile grew even bigger when she asked that and Regina said "Just a silly cop."
Emma was all ready and so was Regina. All she had to do was fix food and as soon as she had Emma sit down and was fixing food the door bell rung and she rushed to the door opened it and greeted "Robin" she left the door open and ran back to the kitchen fixing the food. Robin just walked on in "So, your not ready yet" he said laughing "Not quiet. Still fixing Emma some food." Robin smiled "I brought food." and he held up containers full of food and Regina ran over "Oh god! Thank you!" she hugged him and took the bag from him, he stood there in the same spot processing what had just happened "So, i bring food and i get a hug. Noted" he smiled and continued "What do i get since i also brought coffee?" Regina turned around and practically moaned seeing him hold coffee up for her to take. She hadn't even thought about coffee yet. "Your amazing!" she said and then walked away to help Emma. Regina then turned back around and looked at Robin and realized "Are we going in your car?" and he nodded "We can" and he took a sip of his coffee "Could Emma eat in your car? Could i eat in your car?" she asked and Robin smiled "Of course, come on." he said and Regina took Emma's hand and led her to the car.
they got to the court house on time and Regina was shaking, Regina was holding Emma's hand and Emma in all her cuteness leaned over, saw Robin not holding Regina's hand and said "You have to hold hands. If you don't we get lost!" Regina and Robin laughed. Robin was about to take Regina's hand when Regina moved Emma in the middle and Emma took Robin's hand "There, now no one will get lost."
They all walked into the court house and awaited there turn for the court room, When they got called in and it was there turn Regina was a nervous wreck. Robin tried to calm her down but he only got to the door and couldn't come in. Regina and Emma went on in and one of the bailiffs put Emma on the stand. Emma was just smiling up a storm, ear to ear. She didn't know what was going on. Then the judge turned to her and said "Hello, Emma. How are you today?" Emma's smile left. She shyly turned to the judge and said "I-i can't talk to strangers!" The judge laughed and Emma just looked at Regina who was wearing a hopeful smile. Then the judge spoke again "That is true, but you can talk to me. I'm one of the good guys." The judge said with a smile, Emma looked over at Regina who nodded and Emma's smile returned "Okay! Hello!" Emma bounced, which made the judge chuckle "So, do you like living with Regina? Is she nice?" The judge asked and Emma responded with "I love my mommy! She makes me mickey mouse pancakes and she says im a princess! Ohh you should see my room! its like a castle!" The judge smiled and Regina was starting to ease up. "Graham is funny to!" Regina froze. Will this hurt me? My causal sex. They don't have to know its just casual sex. Regina thought. The judge then turned to Regina and said "And who is Graham?" Regina rose from her seat and said "He is my" she cleared her throat "Sheriff." the judge nodded and then turned back to Emma "Is he nice? What kind of stuff do you and him do?" Emma laughed "He's not over that much silly!" Emma said as if the judge should already know that. "Ah, and what do you and Regina do?" Emma's smile grew "Me and Mommy do tons of stuff! We eat at Grannies, go for ice cream! Play at the park! But when mommy is at work i have to go to" Emma looked at Regina not sure what the name of the place was "No, don't look at Regina, Where does she make you go?" Emma got nervous "It a big place, with toys and my teacher is there...School?" Emma asked and the judge smiled "I would guess so."
After a long series of questions Emma got down from the stand and Regina was so nervous! The bailiff escorted them out, then called for Robin and David. Regina watched as Robin and David walked in, then they disappeared from view. Emma turned to Regina and said "I'm hungry!" Regina smiled and said "Okay, they should be gone a while lets go eat." Regina and Emma got up and left for the door.
"This is good!" Emma stated as she munched on chicken fingers, and Regina smiled at her. "I would hope so. That's you second plate." Emma just smiled with a mouth full and Regina told her not to do that "Mommy, you should try some!" Emma picked one of her chicken fingers up and put it to Regina's mouth. Regina pushed it away and said "Mommy is good with this" Regina said as she put a fork in her mouth and ate her food. Emma looked at Regina and her mouth flew open. Regina just smiled and put some of her food in Emma's mouth. Emma's face was priceless "Ewwww! Mommy thats nasty!" Regina laughed and said "Noted." Emma wiped her mouth and said "What is it?"
"Salad." Emma made a face and said "That's not salad!" Regina couldn't help it the faces Emma was making were priceless "Yes, Dear, it is." Emma scrunched her noise and pointed to something on Regina's plate and asked "What's that?" "It's chicken." Emma's noise scrunched even more "No its not!" Regina gave her a smile and said "Sweety, not all chicken is in the shape of fingers." Regina looked at her watch and then at Emma "You almost done, Sweety?" Emma nodded and pushed her plate away. Regina then got up and grabbed a napkin and wiped Emma's face then told her "Stay right there while i throw this away." and Emma listened until Regina walked away and Emma followed her. Regina dumped the food then turned around "Emma, i told you to stay." Emma looked down at her feet and said in the saddest voice "But you left. I don't want to sit alone." Regina melted and took her hand "Ok, but when i tell you to do something i expect you to do it."
Emma nodded and took Regina's hand "Can we go to the park now?!" Regina smiled at how quickly her mood changed "We can't. We have to go back to the court house." Emma wined "But we just did that!" Regina got down to her size "We should be done soon, Sweety." Emma said 'okay' and then took Regina's hand. They left the restaurant and headed back to the court house.
They got there right when Robin and David was walking out. Regina sat Emma down on the bench and ran to Robin "Well? What happen?" she asked nervously "We wont know for another hour." he said and Regina slumped a little then got right back up to her straightened posture. "Shall we wait... or do you have to leave?" She asked and Robin shook his head no "No, im good i can stay until you get the news."
They waited for what seamed like to Regina hours but when the bailiff finally came out and had them come back in Regina was missing the wait because now she feared that she would get to keep Emma. They walked in hand and hand Emma holding Regina's hand and looking up at her seeing that she looks scared and somewhat sad "Whats wrong, Mommy?" Emma asked and Regina just smiled at her concern "Nothing, Sweety." she said and Emma look ahead. When they approached the judge she said allot about parenting and allot about Emma's well being then she said these four little words that lifted Regina up. "Emma stays with Regina." then she hit her 'Giant hammer' as Emma called it on the sound block. Regina picked Emma up and spun her around and around then left a kiss on her cheek. Emma was sitting on Regina's hit when Regina saw Robin, Regina ran over to Robin and gave him a hug. A tight hug. A thank you hug. A hug that Robin wanted to be more, and surprisingly Regina wanted it to be more as well.
After court Regina invited Robin to her house to celebrate. they had a ball. Playing games, watching movies and when Emma went to sleep, talking. they talk about a few things nothing really just random stuff. And then Robin left. It was late and she would have offered the spare bed room but how would that look? He stays over after he made a testimony? Regina didn't really care what it looked like to others she just didn't want Emma taken away.
After a few year Robin became a friend of the family. Emma called him Uncle Robin and Regina called him...Robin. They both had feelings for each other but both were to stubborn to act on them. Emma was getting older and she was really getting into New York, she loved it. Regina took her there a few times to site see, with Robin of course. But when Emma's 16 birthday came around Emma declared "I want to go to school in New York." It wasn't a shock but as Emma explained more Regina realized she meant now. "Emma, you can't live on your own at 16. In a city no less!" Emma walked over to Regina and sat down beside her "There is this thing called independent living. I could have my own place, and go to school. But you would have to check up on me. Please, mom please can i go! its a great school i look it up and here" Emma handed her a stack of papers "What is this?" Regina asked "It's great places to live and go to school!" Emma sighed "Mom, this place is boring! it feels like time stands still here." Regina froze then laughed "What do you mean?" Emma just moved her hands around in the air "You don't see it? You don't see how everything is so...boring and practiced." she flopped back onto the couch "I just want to see other places" Emma huffed and Regina said "We go places all the time." Emma looked at her "As a family. I'm always with you and Robin. I don't have friends. I want to make friends." Regina just got up and headed to the kitchen "We will see."
