AN: Okay, I have a confession. I have no idea how football works in the states or even in high school. I don't even know why I decided that was the sport Henry would play…maybe its because I thought it was delightfully ironic since he's so scrawny and tiny in the show. So…. If you're a football fan, this chapter may be cringe worthy and full of inaccuracies. Yes I know the football season is in the fall/winter, but oh well. All information has been collected from various movies I've watched and the little knowledge I carry from watching it sometimes on TV.
EDIT: I had no idea that the kicker was different from the QB. Sorry!
As always, no Beta and Canadian Spelling
Emma capped the marker and threw an arm over Regina's shoulders, "We make a good mystery solving team, don't we, Velma."
Regina smiled at the Sheriff, "I believe we do, dear. Now let's grab some dinner and head over to our son's game."
Chapter 14: Family Game Night
"Did you know that the game would be out of the city?" Emma closed the door on the driver's side and made her way around the car to open to door for the Mayor, "Cause I sure as hell didn't."
"And they say chivalry is dead." Blushing a little bit at the blonde's actions, Regina stepped out of the car, "I did know that it was the state championship, therefore it wouldn't make sense to have it held in Storybrooke now would it?"
Emma closed the door to the car and armed the alarm with a beep. "Well that does make sense, I just feel weird being in Bangor. It sounds like something from the Enchanted Forest…or somewhere in Middle Earth." She held out her arm to the Mayor who gladly took it. "Hey does—"
"I promise you, I do not know if hobbits truly exist." Regina glanced sideways at the blonde.
"Hey, it was a valid question! I mean, there are dwarves, dragons, elves, magic, mages, ogres, enchanted weapons…why not hobbits?" Emma playfully argued back.
"Yes but to imagine that there would be a place called Mount. Doom-"
Emma stifled a cough hiding the words "infinite forest" between coughs earning another piercing glance from the Mayor. "Hey you can't look at me like that! I slayed a dragon for you once, with no armour and armed only with my David's +6 sword to do it."
Regina recalled the incident, "+6 Sword?"
The Sheriff laughed, "Oh that…uh, never mind." She looked around cautiously to make sure no one was around and leaned in close to whisper into her wife's ear, "Hey, on the topic that I did that to retrieve a True Love potion…if Gold could bring back magic with my parents hairs, couldn't we have made more when we had to fight Zelena or something?"
"It's because a spell like that could only be created once," she explained, "Think of it as if he had depleted the resource of magic. They still are very much in love and have 'True Love', but there is no magic enough to break curses, well other than curses that directly affect themselves. For example, the time your father put himself under a sleeping curse to communicate with your mother while you were in the Enchanted Forest."
Emma stopped short of walking onto the field where other people would be able to hear them, "Yes but how about Belle and Gold?"
"He denied his True Love from her when she nearly broke the curse of the dagger. And with it, any potential magic it contained," Regina answered casually.
Emma knit her brows together, "How about Henry and us?"
"Ah, that is interesting to explain." She removed her hand from the Sheriff's arm and turned to face her, "Gold and I actually tried that when we were attempting to stop my mother from arriving in Storybrooke. It seems that it is quite different between a love of the child which has no magical properties and the love of a partner which in certain cases can break almost any spell. Henry seems to be an exception."
As if on cue, the two women saw their not so small son barreling toward them in full gear and helmet in hand. "MOMS! YOU MADE IT!" He threw an arm over each of their shoulders, pulling them both in a tight hug. He pulled back and gestured to the field, "I got you two seats in the front row at the 50 yard line!"
Emma leaned toward Regina and whispered in her ear, "The 50 yard line is better than the 1 yard line, just to let you know." The brunette turned her head and gave a subtle nod of thanks for answering her unspoken question.
The three of them walked towards the stadium and Henry escorted them to their seats which had two sheets of paper taped on the bench,
'RESERVED FOR MR. AND MRS. MILLS'
Henry laughed, "Oh I guess I told them that my 'parents' were coming." He reached over and pulled the papers from the steel seats, "I gotta get back to the locker room, you guys going to be okay with the muggles?"
Regina smiled back, "Yes we will be fine, I am quite excited to watch your football match."
Henry snorted a little bit, "Well I hope I enjoy the match too, Mom." He looked over to his blonde mother, "Try not to argue with the other parents too much, Ma…"
"I make no promises, Kid." She sat down on the bench, "Go break a leg."
Henry smiled brightly and gave each of his mothers a kiss on the cheek before disappearing into the locker rooms.
"So does this make me Mr. Mills?" Emma wiggled her eyebrows at the Mayor.
Regina scoffed and gave a reassuring pat on the Sheriff's knee, "Seeing as you have married into the family, I believe that makes you Mrs. Mills." She raised her hand and bopped the blonde on the nose, "I may need your help deciphering this sport."
Emma shrugged, "Honestly, Regina, I don't know much about the sport either. All I know is that the team with the highest score wins. I guess also each team gets a certain amount of chances to get past a specific amount of distance before the other team gets possession? Either way, prepare to cringe a bit."
"Why would I—" Regina was cut off by loud music and cheering.
An announcer was heard over the PA system in the stadium.
Weeeeeelccoooommme LAAAADIESS AND GEEENNTTLLMEN to the State Championship between your BANGOR RAMS and newcomers THE STORYBROOKE SPARTANS!
Music began to play as the home team's marching band and cheerleaders came onto the field. After a few minutes the home team burst out onto the field and the crowd roared with excitement. After each member of the team jumped onto the field, the music dulled.
A faint beat started to play in the distance; as it began to crescendo the Emma recognized the song playing. "OH. MY. GOD! THIS IS THE BEST SONG TO INTRO TO!" She stood on her feet and began to cheer wildly.
You're gonna push your luck, tell me you've had enough,
I'm taking off these gloves, get down and lick the dust.
Wanna piece of this, wanna, wanna piece of this, cherry pie, what you, what you gonna make of this?
One minute in the back seat hit the switch, I'm a predator, rapture, I am killin it.
The beat dropped into a heavy bass line as the team ran through a banner with the words "STORYBROOKE SPARTANS" painted on it. Each member did a small dance to the song, ending with Henry who did an impressive three consecutive backflips and finishing with a cheer while throwing a thumbs up at his mothers. Even the home crowd cheered wildly at the sight of the visiting team.
After the anthem, the referee tossed the coin into the air before announcing, "TAILS, STORYBROOKE SPARTANS GET THE BALL." The two teams positioned themselves with Henry at the very back. The two women watched a few of the plays while Regina flinched every time someone was tackled. Henry, however, being quite nimble had been able to avoid a hard tackle for a while.
"Regina!" Emma prodded the Mayor, "Henry is really close to the end zone, so he'll probably try to run for it!"
Henry eyed the ball, waiting for the moment the play would begin. He looked to his left, and then to his right. Ready for the hike he finally yelled, "Hut!"
The ball was tossed to him and he made a run for the zone, dodging and weaving on the field. His mothers stood cheering him on when a large linebacker ran toward him and tackled him with a loud crash. Henry jumped at just the right time for the impact to send him a few feet toward the end zone, holding the ball tight. He landed hard onto the turf. Everyone in the stadium was silent.
A moment later, still lying on the ground he raised his arm into the air and gave a thumbs up, still holding the ball tight to his chest. He scored a touchdown. The entire stadium cheered. Everyone, except Regina.
"HENRY!" Regina was about to rush down the bleachers and demand that her son be removed from the game.
Emma grabbed her wife and wrapped her arms around the outside of hers and held tight trying to calm her down, "Regina! He's fine, look he's getting up right now."
"Emma let go of me right now!" She squirmed in her arms, practically thrashing.
The two of them were hidden by the crowd who were still in the midst of a standing cheer for the incredible play that Henry had made.
Emma looked at the woman in her arms, who suddenly gave up resisting. "Emma, please let me go." She spoke softly and desperately.
The blonde released her grip and Regina slumped back down onto the bleachers, her eyes void of expression. Emma sat down beside her, but motioned for one of the security guards to come over, "Hey, we're the quarterback's parents, can you please get one of the organizers to come here please?"
The guard nodded and headed off to find someone. Emma turned her attention to Regina and rubbed gentle circles on her back, "Hey, I'm sorry if I hurt you? But honestly, I'm not quite sure what I just did."
Regina snapped back to reality, "Don't worry about it, it will pass."
Emma pressed her lips together, holding back a million questions when the stadium manager came into view. "How can I help you ladies?"
"Yes, um, can you make sure the medical staff looks over our son? He's the quarterback on the Spartans. It was a pretty hard hit and we just want to be sure." Emma asked with concern.
"We definitely will, and are already on it." The manager smiled and headed back down to the field.
The Sheriff turned her attention back to Regina, she placed her hand into hers and smiled, "I'm honestly really sorry about grabbing you like that, I just didn't want you to freak out and pull Henry from the game. He's 17 now, we should trust that he knows what he's doing out there."
Regina squeezed her hand in reassurance, "I know, but he's always going to be my little prince."
It was the final 20 seconds of the 4th quarter and as cliché as it was, the score was 28 for the Rams and 27 for the Spartans. It was the last down they had and the Spartans had only one chance at a field goal to win. The entire stadium held their breath, as the play started and Henry ran towards the ball. Kicking the leather with a loud thud, the ball went flying towards the goal. The ball spun and hit the side of the fork, before passing through the goal.
SPARTANS WIN!
The crowd erupted in a combination of groans and cheers as the team ran toward Henry, lifting him up on their shoulders. Emma and Regina jumped with joy as the hugged each other while cheering, "HE DID IT! REGINA, HE FUCKIN' DID IT!"
Henry leaped from the team's shoulders and ran up the bleachers, throwing his arms around his two mothers, "MOMS! WE WON!"
They held each other tightly while the local camera crews filmed the celebrations. "We're so proud of you Henry!" Regina gave a kiss to his temple and hugged him tighter.
The team signaled to Henry to rejoin them, he squeezed his parents in his arms one more time before heading back to the field.
The two women headed back to the car and waited for Henry to join them. Regina stood close to Emma as they leaned against the yellow sports car, "I never knew that football could be so exciting and terrifying at the same time."
Emma chuckled, "Yeah, it's like the Skyrim of sports. And our son is the hero of the game!"
Not even attempting to understand the blonde's comparison the brunette replied, "Yes, he is. I'm glad he wasn't hurt. Thank you, for making sure I didn't overreact when he got tackled." Regina took the Sheriff's hand and placed a feather light kiss on her lips.
The blonde smiled into the kiss, "Well, I'm happy you raised a perfect kid."
"I think in this life, we both raised him quite well, Miss Swan." Regina leaned in and pressed a firmer kiss onto Emma's lips.
"Ewwww Moms. Seriously? We're in public." Henry walked towards them duffle bag slung over his shoulder and helmet in hand.
"Geez Kid, way to ruin a moment." Emma pulled away from her wife and pressed down on her keys, popping the trunk open, "Ready to go?"
Henry placed the bag and helmet into the trunk, "Actually…a few of the guys were gonna stay at Nick's tonight to celebrate with pizza and late movies. Can I go?"
"Oh Henry, we haven't seen you all weekend." Regina spoke with a bit of sadness, she knew she wanted to get to know this Henry but she also wanted to give him a chance to celebrate. "However, since you are the star quarterback of Maine, I think we can wait one more day. Just, make sure you get to school on time?"
"I promise!" He hugged each of his parents and headed off to the packed chartered bus.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing him walk away," Emma admitted under her breath.
Regina smiled to herself, "I don't think I ever want to get used to it."
Emma walked out of the bathroom running her tongue over her teeth, enjoying the squeaky clean feeling that came after brushing. Dressed in only a spaghetti strap tank top and her boy short underwear, she crossed the room and slid under the covers of the king sized bed. She folded her arms behind her head and looked up at the brunette who was propped up, leaning against the headboard with a book in her hands.
The blonde admired the sight, tracing her eyes over every curve of the woman in her view, "Hey whatchya readin?"
Without looking up from the book Regina replied nonchalantly, "It's called 'Tell No One' by Harlen Coben. It's quite an easy read, but I do enjoy a mystery thriller or two." She grabbed a highlighter from the nightstand, pulled the cap of with her teeth and swiped the marker at a line in the book.
Emma was intrigued by the action, "Taking notes? Y'know I'm pretty sure it's not going to be on the final exam."
"Actually, I like to highlight passages that speak to me while I read. From time to time, I like to pick up an old book that I had forgotten about and randomly flip through the pages to find something I've highlighted." She placed the highlighter back onto the stand and turned the book to the Sheriff, tapping at the line that she just marked.
"Memories, you see, hurt. The good ones most of all."
Emma sat up with the book in her hand, "Well this is a little more than depressing."
"Well, in this passage he is reminiscing about his wife who had passed away." Regina wore a forlorn look on her face, but there were no tears forming.
At that moment, Emma knew exactly who she was thinking about. Daniel. She handed the book back to Regina who closed it and placed it on the side table.
"I know I can never replace his memory, hell, I don't think you should ever forget him. But in this life, and in ours, I promise to be there every moment you need me." She tapped the left side of her chest, "As long as my heart is beating in here, I will always be there for you. Even if giant man-eating doughnuts threaten our existence, I will eat every single one of them to save you." Emma smiled at Regina.
The Mayor chuckled low in her chest, "My hero. I will keep that in mind when the ruler of Candyland comes to take over Storybrooke." She placed a soft kiss to her cheek as her tone dropped into a serious one, "I have sought vengeance over Daniel for close to forty years. I did love him dearly, and if I had stayed in the Enchanted Forest and he had not been killed, I am sure we would have been together there. He was my first love, and perhaps only love in the other realm; but here? Here I had a second chance, I was just too scared to take it. And when I finally decided I was ready, I literally gave my heart to the first person I thought should make me happy; Instead of the person who I knew would." She moved closer to her wife, their breaths millimetres apart.
"Regina I—" Emma's words were cut off by soft lips on hers.
The two fell into the kiss, there was no rush, and no fear of fate. Regina ran her tongue across pale lips, requesting to deepen the connection which was immediately reciprocated. They moaned at the taste of one another, their tongues moving together in harmony. Without breaking the kiss, Regina moved forward and swung a leg over across Emma's lap, now straddling the blonde. She placed a hand on either side of her face and kissed her passionately, slowly rocking her hips against the Sheriff. Emma let out a gasp of pleasure at the feeling of her wife's ministrations while her hands held onto Regina's hips as she encouraged the brunette's rhythm. Emma broke the kiss stifling a moan by burying her head in the Queen's shoulder, "Oh god, that feels amazing…"
Regina hummed in response as she leaned in and nipped at the blonde's neck encouraging her to face her again, moving her hands from her face and to the hem of her tank top. Without stilling her hips she crashed their lips together in a passionate kiss, tugging at the fabric in her hands. Emma soon got the hint and pulled the offending garment up and off her body, breaking the kiss for a split second to remove the top before latching on desperately again.
Regina's hand's slid up the sides of the Sheriff, leaving goosebumps in tow as she moved her hands over soft mounds of flesh and began to squeeze and knead them gently. Emma bit down on her lip at the feeling, dragging her mouth and tongue across the smooth expanse of the brunette's neck. She bit down just under her ear eliciting a loud gasp from Regina who was rolling her now hardened nipples between her fingers.
Emma moved her hands to Regina's thighs, running her thumbs on the inside caressing the Mayor gently. She felt the hands on her breasts stop for a second at her touch before continuing to move, trailing fingers across soft flesh. The Sheriff moved her hands higher, hooking her thumbs at the bottom of her wife's negligee pulling it higher and, with a little help from the brunette, eventually completely off her body. Emma pulled back for a moment to appreciate the sight before her, "You are absolutely beautiful." She tilted her head up to meet her lips, as they kissed slowly and deliberately, holding each other tenderly.
After a few minutes, the blonde trailed a line of kisses downward, nipping at random patches of skin until reaching a perked nipple. She took it in her mouth, enjoying how responsive Regina was at her touch. She moved her right hand over the neglected breast, pinching and kneading at every sensitive spot she could before switching with her mouth. Regina threw her head back in pleasure and let out a little moan as she felt moisture begin to pool in between her thighs. She grasped at the blonde's hair and held the back of her head to keep her exactly where she wanted.
Satisfied with her work, Emma slid her hand from her breast down her torso, lightly brushing her fingers across Regina's abdomen causing her to twitch. She moved to meet her wife's lips, placing quick pecks across her jaw and mouth. Her hand traveled lower, tracing patterns with the tips of her fingers across the brunette's lower abdomen; when she reached the top of her underwear when she stopped to look into brown eyes.
Regina looked back at her with lust filled eyes and nodded. Emma began to tease the woman straddling her, running her finger underneath the garment and through soaked folds, pressing gently on her clit before moving her hand away completely.
"Emma…" Regina grabbed her hand and held it in place, as she began to grind her covered centre against it.
"Wait, one sec." Emma used her free hand to magic away the remaining bit of clothing they were both wearing, "This is much better."
She moved her fingers back into place and began to move them over the length of her opening, spreading her arousal across her hand. Sensing her wife's impatience, she positioned two fingers and her entrance and slowly pushed them inside, feeling the tight walls begin to press against her. Regina gasped at the feeling of Emma inside of her, bracing herself against the headboard with both hands to steady her. Emma began to pump her fingers in and out slowly, the action making slight slurping sounds at the momentum.
Regina swallowed her breath, lowering her hands from the headboard to the blonde's shoulders for support. She began to rock her hips lazily meeting every upwards push of the Sheriff's fingers with a downwards push of her hips. Their movements quickened as the sounds of her wet arousal and skin crashing together began to fill the room. Emma felt Regina's walls begin to tense as she started to push in as deep as she could while curling her fingers on each withdraw, moving her free hand to support the Mayor's back as she rode her fingers with fervor. She saw an opportunity as the brunette pulled back in her motions, she withdrew her fingers completely and pushed them back in with a third finger in tow.
"Emma!" Regina moaned loudly at the feeling of being filled completely and began to push against her hand desperately. She crashed her lips against the Saviour's as she felt her body tremble and tighten around her fingers, coating them in her arousal. Her movements slowed as she felt Emma's hand slowly guide her back down from her orgasm, slowly moving in and out, calming the aftershocks then finally pulling out.
She opened her eyes and looked saw her wife smiling back.
"Hey."
Regina let out a small laugh and pressed a lingering kiss on her lips, "Hey."
The brunette kissed Emma intensely as slipped her hand between them, tracing circles across the blonde's hardened clit. "Oh god, Regina…" Emma moaned as she bit onto her lower lip. Already worked up from their previous activity, she was hovering on the edge when she felt three fingers inside her with no preamble. Regina moved her legs to settle in between Emma's thighs, thrusting her hand with precision, moving her fingers inside and out, curling them at just the right moment to scrape across Emma's sensitive spots. She felt her inner muscles pull at her fingers and heard the alluring sounds of her pushing in and out of her wife.
"Oh god, harder!" Regina complied, hearing the blonde's breath hitch every time she hit her back wall. Emma screamed her name out arcing her back as she came hard, with every muscle tensing and her inner muscles holding onto her fingers tightly. Regina guided both of them to lay flat against the mattress, as she slowly withdrew her hand.
They were laying on their sides pressing their bodies together, facing each other. After a few long minutes, Regina leaned in and placed a light kiss on her lips, "Can I use one of my questions?"
Emma smiled back, "Of course."
"The text. Did you mean it? Do you love me?" She asked suddenly insecure about what she might hear.
Emma leaned in and kissed the corner of her lips.
"With all my heart."
