A/N: Um...Happy New Year! Hope you like this chapter! ;) I think you might! Maybe... ;p


Her mind couldn't catch up, it almost refused to catch up. Why would she want to process what was happening right now? If felt amazing, what they were doing felt amazing. She didn't want to over analyze it and stop. Because she knew the moment she allowed her mind to catch up she would do the noble thing and stop. Talk to the woman she was currently in bed with having a very heavy make out and grinding session with.

And here it was, her mind had caught up with her traitorous body. No, her body wasn't traitorous, it was her mind. This over thinking and seemingly noble brain of hers was ruining the want to continue kissing the brunette that was on top of her. They needed to talk about this, the things that were happening between them. "Regina," she breathed and immediately regretted it because it came out as a moan and she took it as encouragement.

Emma shivered with anticipation as Regina's hand snaked up her shirt and was soon kneading her breast as she moved her lips to Emma's neck. Emma moaned as Regina nibbled on a very sensitive part of her neck. Emma wanted to keep going, the heat she was feeling between her legs was motivation enough, but they needed to talk. "Babe, s-stop." Emma breathed as Regina looked up into her eyes.

"Why?" Emma groaned as she gently pushed Regina off her and onto her back straddling her. Regina looked sexier than any one person should be allowed to look. Her hair was messy from Emma's hands, her eyes dark with lust, and her lips thoroughly swollen from being kissed.

"We need to talk." Her expression turned from playful to serious at those words as Regina tried to sit up as Emma pinned her to the bed.

"Emma, you want to talk let's talk." Regina huffed out as Emma smirked. She knew Regina would act this way, but it needed to be done. They needed to talk about them, their family, what could happen or not happen, what they wanted from all of this.

"Yes I do want to talk but you need to not be so uptight at the moment." Emma ducked down to her neck and gently sucked on her collarbone.

"Emma," Regina moaned as Emma smiled as she continued to mark the brunette. She bit gently eliciting another moan and Regina's hips grinding up into her. "I will use magic on you." Regina breathed as Emma bit a little harder and Regina tried to free her arms but it didn't work as Emma held her in place.

"Tell me, what do want out of this." Emma asked pulling away with a smirk as she looked at the already darkening hickey. She would pay for that later but she could marvel at it now.

"Seriously Emma, you want to have this talk right now, while I am very aroused with you on top of me?" Emma nodded with a grin as she let go of Regina's arms. Regina huffed out slightly annoyed as she propped herself up looking at Emma.

"Plain and simple, I want you, I want our family. I want to be happy."

"I want the same." Emma nodded her grin turning into a smile. "And we know Isabel and Henry want us together, and well Ruby." Emma laughed out as Regina shook her head with a smile.

"That's true," Regina let out a small sigh. "I don't want to mess this up Emma, I have a tendency to mess up my chances at happiness. I know with you and our children I am happy, so irrevocably, so stupidly happy. I don't want to lose that, I don't want to lose you by messing this up. I don't know how to love very well." Emma leaned forward cupping her face while looking into her mocha orbs.

"We're human Regina," Emma smiled leaning back once more. "I can't promise that I won't mess up every once in a while. Cause I will, I'm a fuck up Regina, always have been. But I know this is real, I can feel that. What we have; me, you, the kids. It's real. This is the most comfortable I have felt in, well, ever. Being with you and our kids, it feels like home. I don't know if what's between us is true love or whatever but what I feel for you, that's real. I don't want to lose that. And you do know how to love well, Regina. You love those kids so deeply that anyone could feel what you feel for them. You love with your whole heart, your whole being and that's beautiful." Emma exhaled unsure of what Regina's reaction would be.

"Emma." Regina breathed out with a heart filled smile as she pulled the verdant eyed blonde to her kissing her with all she could. Regina didn't know when it happened but she was in love with Emma and her little speech just solidified her love even more for the blonde. Since getting Isabel back it seemed inevitable that the two of them had been growing closer. They had family nights where Emma would drop them off from the station and stay over for dinner which would lead to a movie or sometimes a game.

They'd quickly learned that Sorry! was the game that Emma would usually win, Isabel's skill and patience allowed her to win Jenga nearly every time, even though it was Isabel's favorite game Henry would get most of the life tiles in The Game of Life leading him to a $500 dollar win almost every time, and Regina would always dominate at Monopoly. After the movie or game the kids would go get ready for bed and Regina got into the routine of asking Emma to stay for something to drink.

It would lead to late night talks about their pasts and sometimes their hopes for the future. Yes, there were so many unknowns especially with them, but they could take it a day at a time, conquer over everything as it came. Regina broke from the kiss slowly opening her eyes to look at Emma. This woman could be her happy ending, her and their children.

"Moms?" Emma flopped down on top of Regina who grunted at the sudden weight as Henry opened the bedroom door.

"Uh moms, eww. I thought we gave you enough time to do the hanky panky and be done? Not only were we at school all day, but then hung out at the park, c'mon." Isabel said as Henry groaned and pushed his sister into the door frame and she laughed.

"You really can't help yourself can you?"

"What?" Isabel asked as they ignored their mothers. Regina pushed Emma off of her sitting up and looking at their children who seemed to forget all about them.

"First Rumpelstiltskin and the Queen of Hearts now our moms, do you enjoy giving me the nasty visuals your sick mind comes up with?" Henry clarified as Isabel shrugged.

"I mean, if I have to have them, why not share? Besides, I figured out our family tree!" Isabel said with pride as he rolled his eyes.

"You need to write it down for it to be official."

"I'll do a tapestry like the Blacks in Harry Potter, and under ours names it have all our titles. No, wait…that's confusing." Isabel threw up her hands in a huff walking away. "I still get to call Neal Uncle Baelfire tomorrow!" Isabel called out as Henry rolled his eyes once more before following after her as she went down the stairs. Regina rubbed her temples shaking her head.

"So which one do you think eavesdropped?" Emma asked with a chuckle kissing Regina's cheek and getting up.

"I don't know, but when we actually get around to having sex that door will be magically locked." Regina huffed in nearly the same manor Isabel had done before walking away.

"You might wanted to magically sound proof it too." Emma suggested stretching as Regina looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I intend to make you scream my name while you orgasm." Regina's eyes widened at the admission and she felt heat pool between her legs as she grabbed Emma and pulled her back to the bed. Emma yelped in surprised as Regina's lips were on hers and Emma happily kissed her back.

"I'm going to Snow and Charming's for a few hours!" Isabel yelled as Emma chuckled into the kiss.

"And I'm going with! You aren't leaving me here while they have sex, Isabel!" Henry yelled as they heard him running after his sister and the front door slam.

"I'm still magically locking the door." And with that Regina flicked her wrist as the bedroom door closed and the lock clicked into place. Emma laughed out as she kissed Regina once more.
