"I cannot get over how wonderful your parents are Emma," Regina smiled as the women crawled under the sheets of Emma's bed with Skittles lying at their feet.

"Yeah, they are pretty great."

Regina was applying lotion to her arms and Emma was setting the alarm on her phone for work the next morning.

"So what are your plans for tomorrow love?" Emma asked as she sat her phone down and turned on to her side to face the woman.

Regina rubbed the last amount of the lotion into her hands and then followed the blondes lead and rolled onto her side looking into the green eyes she had grown to find so much comfort in.

"Well I had talked to Belle earlier today and she said she would help me start to pack up my things."

"That's nice of her. Do you think that you could be ready to move everything in by this weekend?" Emma asked as she began to trace lazy circles on the other woman's arm.

Regina smiled, "Yes, I could definitely arrange that. I will spend the week getting everything organized and packed and then this weekend we can move it in."

"Sounds wonderful," Emma leaned in and planted a small kiss on Regina's waiting lips. "Are you sure that you are ready for this? I don't want to rush you."

"No doubt in my mind."

"Good," Emma rolled onto her back and pulled the woman into her arms and smiled as Regina's head fell onto her chest.

Regina began to trace over Emma's stomach feeling the definition of the muscles under the fabric of her tank top. Emma was running her hands through Regina's hair and enjoying the moment when she remembered that she never did find out what had her mother and Regina so upset earlier this evening.

"Hey, what were you and my mom hugging and crying about this afternoon before we had dinner?"

"Oh, um, your mom had asked me if I was serious about you."

"And that made you cry?"

"No…she brought up the fact that you had been upset for a long time…" Regina said hesitantly not knowing if she should be bringing up the conversation or not.

"Oh, well my mom worries a lot."

"Babe, I can imagine that it was probably the hardest time in your life. She was just expressing to me that she was glad that you sound happy again." Regina lifted her head and made eye contact with the blonde who was now tearing up.

"Well…yeah…I am…"

"Emma, honey, I'm sorry…I didn't mean to upset you…I just…."

Emma shook her head and sat up against the wood headboard.

"You didn't upset me. I am happy. It was a really hard time for me Regina. I haven't discussed everything with you yet. I didn't want to scare you away but it was a really dark time for me. I am actually quite annoyed that my mother brought it up."

"She didn't go into any detail. She just told me that it was really hard for you and that she was thankful that it sounds like you are happy again. Please know that nothing you could say can scare me away." Regina said as she brushed blonde strands behind the woman's ear.

"I was in a facility for awhile Regina…" Emma began.

"Oh?" Regina asked a little surprised.

"Yeah…only for a few weeks…but when Ruby passed I couldn't handle it. I came back to our apartment after the funeral and it felt like the walls were closing in on me. I stayed in bed for almost six days. I wasn't eating. I refused to talk to anyone. I would just lay there and stare at the ceiling. I didn't cry. I didn't sleep. I just thought of her. I thought of our life together. I thought of her face. I thought of her laugh. I thought of everything about her…" Emma now had tears streaming down her face and Regina was holding her hands and studying her eyes.

"One night…the thoughts became too much. I had decided that if she wasn't here with me then I didn't want to be here anymore…I went to the medicine cabinet and I took out the medications that were prescribed for her to help with the pain and I decided I was just going to take them all. I sat on the bathroom floor with all of them in front of me. I don't know how long I sat there and then my Dad walked in. I didn't even hear him come in to the apartment. He said he even knocked first. He said he was calling my name all the way down the hall way. I don't remember any of it. He found me, he carried me to his truck, and he took me to the hospital, stayed with me all night long until they admitted me into a nearby facility. He saved my life."

Regina was crying now and she wrapped her arms around the shaking blonde.

"Thank God for your father." Regina whispered as she squeezed tighter around the fragile woman.

Emma sunk into Regina's embrace for a few moments and then kissed her bare shoulder before leaning back.

"I was there for a few weeks and then released to go home. My parents had moved me out of the apartment I had shared with Ruby and into their house. I stayed with them for about three months until I found this house. Every Tuesday and Thursday after work my Dad would come over and take me to counseling and then we would go to the gym. That is where my gym sessions began. Slowly I worked through everything and began to feel better. My mom is right though it wasn't until a few days ago that I started to feel truly happy again."

Regina didn't know what to say. She was staring at this angelic creature before her who just expressed to her that she was responsible for bringing happiness back into her life. What do you say to that? Nothing seems good enough.

"Are you okay?" Emma asked Regina who was still sitting in silence just staring at the blonde.

"Oh…um…yes…I'm sorry I just really don't know what to say."

"It's too much isn't it? Shit, I knew I shouldn't have said anything." Emma said as she got out of bed and started to look out the window.

"Emma, no…" Regina slid out from under the covers and walked up behind the blonde wrapping her arms around her slender waist. "Thank you for telling me. I don't know what to say because I just don't understand how I am so special to be the one to make you so happy."

Emma turned around so that they were facing each other.

"Are you kidding me? Regina, you are the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen in my life. Everything about you amazes me. From the second I laid eyes on you I knew that my life was never going to be the same again. I really don't know how to explain it. This has all happened so fast but it doesn't feel fast you know? It feels like I have known you my entire life. It feels like you were made for me. You fit with me perfectly. You…"

Before Emma could say another word Regina crashed her lips into the blondes and they melted into each other's embrace.

"You complete me…" Emma finished her thought and smiled as she looked into the deep brown eyes looking back at her.

"I couldn't have said it better myself," Regina smiled.
