Emma walked to the changing rooms. When she got there she saw Red and Belle already changed. Emma went and started changing herself.
"Hey Em, is it true that you and Voldemort talked?" Red asked.
"Seriously rubes? You're calling Cora Voldemort?"
"Hey it fits the bill." Red defended herself.
"Rubes?" Belle asked.
"Yeah, it's my nickname my grandmother gave me, so Ems calls me that now."
"Oh ok, so did you two talk?" Belle asked Emma.
"Yeah, which reminds me, I need you to pretend to be like deathly ill tonight where I can skip dinner with Cora because I'm meeting henry tonight."
"Yeah, no problem. So what do I have?"
"Just the common cold."
"And that's supposed to be deathly." Red asked.
"It's all I can think of at the moment" Emma wined
"Whatever, but yeah I can do it for you Ems. Are you going over to Regina's?"
"I don't know, probably not."
"Ok Belle, do you want to come over and take care of me for my cold?" Belle started laughing.
"Well I wouldn't want my girlfriend to be sick without me." Belle winked
"Aw aren't you sweet." Red said while Emma got dressed.
"I know, but if we are going to do this we have to do it right," Belle said.
"What do you mean?"
"Em pick up Red, Red act sick and start moaning and groaning like your stomach hurts." Emma and Red followed Belle's instructions.
"Dang you are really light Red," Emma said.
"No, you're just really strong, but thanks I'll take it as a compliment."
"Alright, now let's go." Emma walked out carrying Red, with Belle following them. They were almost to the elevators when Cora stopped them.
"Emma dear why are you carrying this woman with you?"
"Oh, doctor Millis, I'm sorry but my friend here is really sick and I have to take care of her." Red groaned. Belle hid her face, trying not to laugh.
"So you would skip dinner with me to help your little friend?" She said it with disbelief, spitting out the word friend.
"Yes ma'am. These two are really the only friends I have so if they need me, I will always be there for them." Red squeezed Emma's shoulder.
"Dear, don't you know love is weakness," Cora smiled creepily. Emma decided to ignored Cora's comment about love.
"Well, I'm sorry but I have to put Rubes here to bed, maybe another time."
"Perhaps. See you dear, have fun taking care of whoever." Cora left. All three of them went into the elevator. Emma put Red down, Red and Belle hugged Emma.
"We're here for you too Ems," Belle said. Emma hugged them back.
"Thanks, B."
"We will always be here for you Ems," Red said.
"Thanks Rubes, and I meant it, you two are pretty much the only friends I have ever had." They pulled away.
"We love you too," Red said.
"Yeah yeah, I love you guys," Emma said and they laughed at each other.
"So what are you and Regina doing tonight?" Belle asked.
"I'm meeting her kid, Henry."
"Wow, so you are serious?" Belle asked.
"You do know once you meet the kid, it's official, like no turning back at all."
"Yeah, if tonight goes well, which lets hope it does, I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend, like officially."
"Wow, how are you going to do it?" Belle asked.
"No idea, I'll figure it out when I get there."
"Are you going straight to Regina's?" Red asked
"No, I'm going to shower and change first, probably pick up some ice cream for the kid."
"That should win you points with him," Red stated "kids love ice cream."
"Yeah hopefully this one does or I'm screwed."
Regina heard running coming from the stairs. "No running, Henry."
"Sorry mom, can we have some casserole?" Henry asked
"Of course."
"And for dessert, can we have ice cream?" he smiled sweetly at her, trying to get his way. Regina smiled and shook her head.
"We don't have any." The doorbell rang.
"Yay Emma's here, can I answer the door?" Henry jumped up and down from excitement making Regina chuckle and smile at him.
"I don't know, can you?" Regina asked. Henry stood there figuring out what his mom meant then he remembered.
"May I answer the door?" He smiled knowing he asked correctly that time.
"Yes you may."
"Awesome!" Henry ran towards the door.
"No running!" Henry was already at the door. When he opened it, a blonde stood there with a bag.
"You must be Emma." Henry smiled he could already tell he was going to like this women who was dating his mom.
"And you must be Henry, unless she has two kids." Henry chuckled.
"Nope, I'm the only one." Henry looked at the bag, "what's in the bag?"
"Well, let me in and you can find out."
"Oh yeah, sorry." Henry moved out of the way and Emma came in. He shut the door. "So what's in the bag?"
"Well I didn't know what flavor you liked," Emma lifted an ice cream container out of the bag, "so I figured you can't go wrong with chocolate."
"I'm allergic to chocolate."
"What, seriously? I'm so sorr..." Henry started laughing
"Naw, I'm just kidding." Emma smiled at him. I like this kid Emma thought.
"Nice one kid."
"I thought so. Come on, mom's in the kitchen." Henry grabbed the ice cream and Emma followed. "Look mom, Emma brought ice cream." Regina looked up from the casserole to her son with the tub of chocolate ice cream.
"I see that, put it in the freezer," Regina pointed to the freezer part of the fridge. "Are you trying to buy my son, Doctor Swan?" Regina lifted her eyebrow at Emma, who smirked in response.
"I don't know. Hey kid, if I was, is it working?"
Henry thought about it. "A little, yeah."
"Then there you have it, yes I am," Emma winked at her. Regina chuckled and shook her head.
"Henry, go to the bathroom and wash up."
"Yes ma'am." Henry walked over to Emma and lifted his eyebrow. Oh my god he looks exactly like Regina right now. Emma tried to suppress a laugh. "Emma when I get done we have to have a chat." henry left without giving the chance for Emma to talk.
"He is so adorable when he lifts his eyebrow like you."
"He does that when he is serious." Regina puts the casserole in the oven and set the timer.
"Sounds like I'm in for a serious talk there." Emma came to stand in front of Regina. Regina wrapped her arms around Emma and kissed her.
"Think you can handle it?" Regina joked, making Emma smile.
"I'll manage." Emma pulled her hand from behind her back and revealed a single red flower. Regina wasn't sure what type of flower it was. Well it's not a rose Regina thought. "For you, Your Majesty." Regina chuckled "I'm not into the whole red rose cliché thing." Regina laughed and took it.
"Well thank you Savior."
"Now this isn't just any flower, babe."
"Babe?"
Emma shrugged. "I figured I would try it, is that ok?"
"It is and I love it." Regina kissed Emma. "Now please dear, enlighten me on this special flower."
"It's a red tulip."
"And what does a red tulip mean?" Emma kissed Regina.
"It means… well it pretty much means that I care very deeply for you." Well it technically wasn't a lie Emma thought, Regina kissed Emma, when they broke apart they were panting for air "Regina?"
"Yes dear?"
"Will you be my girlfriend, like officially?" Regina smiled widely.
"I thought I already was."
"You are, I just wanted to ask you, you know, make it official."
"Well yes, I'll officially be your girlfriend, should I also make it Facebook official?" Regina joked
"Whoa slow down there, were not that serious." They laughed. "But if you want to I'm not oppose of it." Regina kissed Emma passionately.
"Now what is the actual meaning of a red tulip?" Emma smiled, figured I couldn't lie to her Emma thought.
"I knew I couldn't get anything past you."
"You're dodging the question dear."
"It's something really important and I promise to tell you, just not tonight, and don't google it." Emma was very serious.
"I promise to not google it." But everything else is fair game Regina thought, then lent in and kissed Emma
"Ew guys, gross," Henry said though he was smiling.
"Sorry kid." Emma kissed Regina one more time then turned to Henry, "come on kid, you still want that talk?"
"Yeah we can go in the living room." When they got there Emma sat on the couch and Henry sat in the chair. "Do you love my mom?"
"Honestly? Yeah kid, I do. Can I let you in on a secret?" Henry nodded his head. "Did you see that flower I gave your mother?" Again another head nod. "Well it's a red tulip and it literally means declaration of love, but don't tell her that ok?"
"But why?"
"Well kid, your mom and I have only been dating for four days and we met five days ago. I think that would be rushing it."
"Wait, you met for a day and then started dating?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, that's awesome."
Emma furrowed her brows "You don't think that's to fast?"
"No, when did you know you loved her?"
Emma laughed. "As soon as I saw her."
"It's love at first sight." Henry exclaimed happily making Emma smile.
"Yeah kid, I guess it is, though I don't know how she feels."
"She loves you," henry stated matter-of-factly.
"How can you be sure?"
"Because you're meeting me, I've never met anyone and this is the first time."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, so you better not hurt her."
"I promise you I will never intentionally hurt her."
"Promise?"
"I promise." Henry got up and hugged Emma. Regina coughed and they separated.
"Supper's ready."
"How long have you been standing there?" Henry asked.
"When you told her not to hurt me."
"Good." Henry said.
"Why is that good?" Regina asked.
"I told him what the tulip means."
"My eight year old knows before me, I'm a little jealous." Emma smiled at Regina.
"Sorry mom, you'll find out latter."
"Yes you will, like a week tops."
"Three days," Henry said.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah three days she deserves to know."
"Four days."
"Done," Henry shook Emma's hand.
"Come on, let's eat." Emma said. Regina smiling at the interaction.
Red and Belle were on the couch making out when there was a knock on the front door. They both looked at it.
"That couldn't possibly be…" Belle started but was interrupted by Red.
"I wouldn't put it past her."
"Who is it" belle yelled
"It Cora Millis."
"Oh shit," Red mouthed.
"Coming," Belle yelled then started whispering, "lay down and act sick." Red lied down and pulled a blanket over her while Belle went to the door and opened it. Cora just walked in.
"Where's Emma?"
"She went to get Red some soup." Belle lied with ease.
"And you are?" Cora questioned.
"I'm Red's girlfriend." Cora looked at Belle up and down.
"Yes well when is Emma going to get back?"
"I don't know, let me call and ask," Belle said, heading over to Red. "Hun, where's your phone?" Red digged it out of her pocket and handed it to Belle while grunting. Damn it I was going to sleep with her tonight. God, Cora sucks Red thought.
"How did you know where Emma lives? She literally just moved in yesterday," Red asked.
"I have my ways dear."
Regina had sent Henry to bed. She was upstairs tucking him in while Emma was standing in front of the fireplace, looking at the photos of Regina and Henry. She looked at one, it was of Regina and Henry at the beach. They were in the water, laughing. It made Emma smile. All of a sudden, she felt arms around her waist and someone kissing her neck.
"That was a fun day at the beach." Regina said thinking about all the fun she had.
"Who took the picture?" Emma asked
"Arizona, we went to a beach house in Florida with her, Callie, and Sofia."
"Sounds nice."
"Yeah, we go to it every summer, hopefully you will come this year." Emma turned in Regina's arms and kissed her.
"I would love to come."
"Excellent." Regina kissed Emma, then moved to her neck. Before she could do anything else, Emma's phone started singing Sex baby. They both started laughing.
"I really wish you would change that." Regina said
"Why, you want it to be yours?" Emma winked.
"Well of course dear," Regina purred nipping at Emma pulse point. Emma answered her phone quickly.
"Make it quick Red."
"Hey it's Belle, when are you bringing Red's soup?" Belle asked hoping Emma understood what she was saying. Emma caught on.
"Is Cora there?" Regina stopped immediately, listening to the phone call.
"Yeah, I believe chicken noodle will work."
"I'll be there in 5." Emma hung up, "your mother is at the house."
"I'm not very surprised."
"Yeah, but I just moved there yesterday so how did she know?"
"I have no idea how she does it, you better go. Be safe."
"I will, I'll come back when I kick her out."
"That wouldn't be wise, I'll see you at work tomorrow."
"Are you sure?"
"Unless you want to deal with my mother, I wouldn't suggest it."
"I personally don't care what your mother thinks about us."
"I just don't want her to hurt you." Regina said sadly.
"How could she possibly hurt me?" Emma lifted Regina's head up by her chin, "Regina, the only people that can hurt me is you, Henry, and my friends, no one else. She couldn't do anything in the world to hurt me." Regina looked into Emma's eyes and knew she meant what she said.
"Ok but you should still stay home, we will figure it out tomorrow."
"Ok, bye Gina."
"Gina?" Regina raised her eyebrow.
"I figured I would try that one too."
"I like it, Emma." Emma smiled.
"I like it when you call me Emma." Regina kissed Emma.
"You better go, don't forget to get soup, or my mother will not believe you."
"Can I call you when she leaves?"
"You don't even have to ask." Regina kissed Emma again, "now go."
"Bye Gina."
"Goodbye Emma."
