Chapter 37
"Wow! Snow!" Henry yelled as he walked out of the airport.
Emma chuckled, "Wait till you see downtown kid, you're gonna flip."
"I love it already," he smiled at her.
"Are we going to your parents house dear?" Regina asked.
"Uh even though they are here for the holidays too, I don't want to be bothered so I got us a suite on the Gold Coast," Emma smiled.
"He'll love being by the lake," Regina smiled.
They took a cab downtown and checked into the hotel. Henry jumped on the beds and cheered with joy. This trip was going as planned so far. Emma was currently sitting in the middle of their suite floor holding her son's tiny hands, "Ok, I'm going to let go okay? Remember how we practiced?" She spoke, even though she knew he wouldn't respond, "I believe in you kid," she smiled as she let go of his hands and he stood on his own. Emma's eyes lit up, "Yes! Regina! Regina!"
Regina rushed in from the bathroom, "Jesus Emma is it that hard for me to urinate around he-...my baby!" She smiled as he took steps on his own, she squatted, "Come here little prince."
"Go ahead bud, walk to mommy," Emma encouraged.
Elijah giggled at Regina before stepping towards her, she clapped when he reached her causing him to clap with her, "You're such a smart boy, aren't you? Emma, you did it, you taught him how to walk."
"My job isn't done yet," she hopped up and jogged to her duffle bag and pulled out a small rubber ball, "Here you go Eli, now that you can walk, it's time to learn to dibble."
"Emma!" Regina snapped, "Can he master walking first, maybe running?"
"Yeah but only after he learns to dribble," Emma stated.
"Listen dear, I understand that you want him to be this big basketball star but we need to take this slow," Regina warned, "I mean it Swan, no dribbling."
"But-" Emma groaned when Regina lowered her eyes into a scowl, "Ok fine. I know!" She exclaimed, "I'll teach him how to do suicides!"
"Emma," Regina groaned while palming her face.

"This is the way you took to school?" Henry asked that walked the streets on the north side of Chicago.
"Yup, everyday. I used to take the bus, then I met Neal and he walked me home after we played basketball," Emma said as she walked next to her son.
Regina observed from the behind them, it wasn't very cold but it was snow on the ground. She pushed Elijah in his stroller while listening to Emma tell Henry stories about her teenage years.
"Wow, so there's a candy store right on the corner?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, went there everyday. I used to get Doritos with nacho cheese and ground beef," Emma stated.
"Is that good?" He asked, "Can we go?"
"Is it good? Kid, you haven't lived until you've had it and of course we can go," Emma smiled.
Emma walked a very happy Henry through the doors of Sweet Tooth, "Ah Emma Swan, long time no see," Archie smiled.
"Tell me about it Archie, just came to show my son how it was coming here everyday," Emma smiled.
Archie looked at Henry, "This...this is your boy? Well, I can't say I'm disappointed. You look like a fine young man."
"Thank you sir," Henry nodded.
"Charming too? Must've gotten that from your father," he chuckled at Emma before looking at Regina, "My Queen," he bowed.
Regina blushed, "Oh stop. Please, call me Regina."
Archie smiled, "My my, aren't you a beauty? Emma I've been meaning to ask how you managed to get a beautiful woman such as Regina Mills."
"I got game," Emma beamed.
"Is that so?" Regina raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah," Emma nodded, "Come on kid, there's so much to choose from."
Regina watched Emma and Henry get loads of candy, usually she would protest but how could she? Henry was so happy. Of course he had been to a candy store before but never with Emma. She felt herself getting very emotional when Emma handed him special Doritos and his eyes lit up. He loved it, Emma smiled. She hadn't seen either of them so happy in so long. As the tears swelled in her eyes, Archie tapped her shoulder.
"Here you go," he said as he handed her a Kleenex.
"Oh," she took it and immediately wiped her eyes, "Thank you dear."
"You're welcome...dear," he replied, "A child and their mother is always a beautiful sight. Your boy is very happy with Emma. No father I assume?" Archie knew Henry wasn't biologically Emma's son.
"No...his father...is irrelevant. He doesn't care about Henry the way he claims. He's not good for him," Regina stated, "Emma is Henry's best chance."
"I see. Times like this are important, never forget that. You're a very talented actress and Emma is a very excellent basketball player, make sure there's time for the boys," Archie suggested.
"I try," she nodded, "It's very hard for us. Now with Elijah, things are even harder. Emma wants him to play basketball like her but apart of me...doesn't want him too."
"I think you should let him decide. Emma has had a very troubling life," Archie said, "I don't know how much you know so I will keep my mouth shut when it comes to details. I will tell you this though, these boys have made her a different person...a better person. Please, if you never ever do anything for me ever again, please just do one thing for me…"
"What is it?" She looked at him.
"Do not leave her," he begged, "Everyone has left her."
"I know," Regina nodded, "I will not leave her. I love her too much."
"Thank you," he smiled.
"You're welcome. You are very easy to talk to," Regina said.
Archie smiled, "I try."
Regina giggled, "Where are we going Swan?" She was currently blindfolded.
They left the kids with Sarah and David, just for the night. Emma said she wanted to take Regina somewhere out of the city, so they drove to Naperville. Neal had a cabin by a large hill, the snow made it look like a winter wonderland, Emma had the keys. She smiled when they entered, "Ok, we're here," Emma said before taking off the blindfold.
"Wow, this place is very beautiful. Neal has great taste," Regina nodded.
"Yeah, this place was our secret spot. It's just how he left it. My mom cleaned up like food and stuff so it wouldn't smell but other than that, she left it untouched. Hey…" She walked over to the couch, "This is my blanket, that thief."
Regina chuckled, "Oh get over it."
"Oh I will because I have on his watch," Emma shrugged, "And I stole a pair of his socks, they were really nice dress socks."
Regina smiled, "You two were like an old married couple."
"Maybe," Emma shrugged, "Let's get the fireplace going."
Regina took off her coat and sighed, her and Emma both dressed comfy in sweaters. Regina observed Emma study the details of the cabin, "Are you okay dear?"
Emma nodded slowly, "Yeah. I just miss him."
"I miss him too," Regina said truthfully, "He always kept it real."
Emma nodded, "Oh yeah for sure, never sugarcoat. I want tonight to be special."
"Special how?" Regina smirked.
"Special enough," Emma teased, "I'm going to get us some wine."

They had been talking for hours, in front of the fireplace, the laid face to face but yet in opposite directions. Emma loved staring into Regina's eyes, they made her feel free and that's something Emma never felt. Always obligated to please everyone but laying with Regina, being with Regina, changed that.
"What's something you always wished you could do?" Emma asked.
The brunette bit her lip in thought, "Uh...be at two places at once but it's impossible."
"Is it?" Emma sat up, "Come here."
Regina sat up and scooted closer to Emma, "What is it?" She asked as she leaned into the blonde.
Emma pulled out her phone and went to the Google Earth app, "Pick a place."
Regina didn't understand what was going on but she trusted Emma, "Rome, Italy."
Emma typed it in and the app zoomed in on Italy, "It works through satellite pictures, we have the whole planet in our hands."
"That's so cool," Regina smiled.
"Isn't it? But the best part is, we are in America and Italy at the same time," Emma smiled as she pinched the screen to show Regina the different landmarks and restaurants.
"It's like we're really there," the brunette mumbled, she looked Emma in the eyes, "Thank you."
"I'd do anything to make your dreams come true Gina, you know that," Emma said as she nuzzled their faces together, "I love you."
Regina blushed, hard, "I love you too Swan."
Emma cleared her throat, "Regina I need to tell you something."
"What is it?" Regina worried, this night had been going so well, it was perfect, "Is everything alright?"
"I don't know…" Emma laid her head on Regina's lap, "I just need you to try and be open minded."
"Just tell me Emma," Regina snapped.
Emma sighed, Ok well-"
"Does this have anything to do with Jasmine? I know you saw her yesterday. I saw her tweet," Regina said.
"Uh well it kinda does but wait...she tweeted about me?" Emma asked.
"Yeah it said 'Saw SwanTheSavior today, wow how time flies'. I didn't know you knew that slut," Regina scoffed, "But I'm not surprised that you do."
"Yeah well I do know her, kind of well actually. But listen, she's nothing to worry about, I promise. What I have to tell you could change everything," Emma sighed.
"Just tell me, don't be afraid," Regina said.
Emma nodded, "Well you see, in college, Jasmine and I...dated I guess you could say. Lily and I were still together though...it was complicated. Loving two women at the same time…
"Hey Nerd," Jasmine smirked, "Done with your homework?"
"Yeah almost, when I finish, I'm meeting Neal at the courts," Emma nodded.
"Cool," Jasmine said, "Where is Lily? At work?"
"Yeah," Emma nodded again, "Where are you coming from?"
"Uh a meeting with Jafar," Jasmine said.
"Hate that guy," Emma stated.
"Don't we all? But uh yeah, daddy wants me to marry him. Follow traditions," Jasmine sighed.
Emma looked up from her laptop, "You can't marry him!"
"I know!" Jasmine groaned, "I don't know what to do Emma."
Emma shook her head, "Me either, maybe I can get my mom to talk to your dad. They're friends."
"Maybe," Jasmine sighed.

A 21 year old Emma zoomed to the hoop before laying up the ball, "Bring it Neal."
Neal chuckled before catching the rebound, "Guess who I saw earlier…"
"Lily," Emma scoffed.
"How'd you know?" He said sarcastically, "My little sister is going through hell right now without you."
"Dude, she killed our child," Emma argued.
"Unintentionally," Neal argued.
Emma scoffed and began to walk off, "Fuck you man."
"Fuck me? Wow, real mature!" Neal yelled. He groaned when Emma kept walking, "Em wait!" He began to jog after her.
Emma walked towards the locker room, she was pissed. Neal didn't understand what she felt, he didn't understand how unfair Lily made things. She paused when she heard a faint scream; Jasmine's scream. She rushed down the hallway to the locker room, Jafar had Jasmine pinned on the wall.
"...They were arguing. She was refusing to marry him regardless of what her father wanted. I was terrified for her, he was so angry. He was power hungry," Emma sighed.
"So let me guess, you saved her?" Regina asked.
"Well...I tried…
"Dude!" Emma yelled before pulling him off of the girl, "What the hell is your problem?"
Jafar smirked, "Oh let me guess, you've come to save her…"
"Somebody has to, I'm not just going to let you beat her into marrying you," Emma scoffed.
Jasmine tugged on Emma's shirt before mumbling, "Emma please, just go. I don't want you to get hurt."
Emma sighed, "Fine Jasmine, have it your way," she said before turning to walk off.
Jafar grabbed her into a chokehold from behind, "Not so fast."
Emma was gasping for air, "Dude."
"If you ever interfere again...I'll kill you," he hissed.
"Emma? Emma!" Neal ran over and forced Jafar to let Emma go, "Touch her again and I'll kill you," he mocked.
"You're all talk boy," Jafar said before shoving Neal.
Neal punched him in the face, it wasn't long before the two were fighting in the locker room. Emma tried to break it up but there was no use, it wasn't until Jafar was on top of Neal choking him to death.
She panicked, her Best Friend was turning blue, she looked around the locker room for a weapon. Neal's eyes were rolling in the back of his head right before Emma hit Jafar in the head with a bat, killing him. She dropped the bat and backed up, scared.
Neal quickly snapped back, "Emma…"
Blood was oozing out from the man's head, the blonde shook her head, "I just-...he was going to kill you."
Jasmine stood in shock with her hand over her mouth. Neal began to pace, "Uh Emma, just go home ok?"
"But Neal-"
"GO HOME! NOW!" He yelled, Emma jumped, "I'll handle this Emma. Just go home! You were never here! GO!"
"So I ran home, well to my apartment. Nobody ever found out...what we did...what I did," Emma said refusing to look Regina in the eyes.
Regina stayed silent, surprised at the story she was just told. She didn't know what to make of it, Emma was trying to save Neal, that's all. Emma began to worry when Regina didn't reply, tears quickly began to form.
"I love you Emma," Regina said.
Emma sat up, "W-what?"
"I love you, I'm in love with you," Regina reminded, "I don't care what you've done and I won't judge you. We've all made mistakes. There are things I've done that I'm not proud of either. Yes, technically you've committed a serious crime but I don't care, it doesn't change anything. You were saving Neal, I know he would've did the same for you. Sometimes things don't work out the way we want to but they always seem to work out...regardless."
Emma couldn't speak, who was this woman? Did she not hear what Emma had just told her? How could she understand? How could she not be afraid? Why would she love her? Emma's eyes closed as a tear slipped, she had never felt so loved in her life. Regina had just proven that Emma made the right decision.
Emma simply wrapped her arms around Regina and pulled her close, "Thank you."
"You're welcome dear, I'll never leave you. I love you too much. I'll always be here Emma," Regina reassured.
"I love you too," Emma nodded.
"You know you can tell me anything right?" Regina asked.
"Ya know, it's funny you say that...come here," Emma hopped up and held her hand out.
Regina gently took her hand and allowed her to pull her up from the rug, "Where are we going?"
Emma walked towards the stairs, "Upstairs," she said before jogging up.
Once they reached upstairs, Emma went into the master bedroom and through the balcony doors, "The view is beautiful."
"It is," Regina smiled, "Snow is covering everything."
"Yeah...are you sure I can tell you anything?" Emma asked.
"Are you kidding me? After what you just told me? Of course," Regina nodded while leaning forward on the railing.
Emma leaned back on the sliding doors behind Regina and looked at the woman in front of her, "Well then, I guess you should know that I love you very much. I want to be your irritation, I don't mind you bugging me or nagging. Every headache or broken nail, I want to be the one to fix that. Remember when I told you I had a rough past?"
"Yes," Regina nodded.
"Now you know why," Emma said.
"I understand Emma," Regina said.
"Good because I'm going to need you be understanding once I make you my wife," Emma said.
Regina stiffened, "Wh-what?"
"Will you marry me?" Emma asked.
Regina turned around slowly, sensing that something was up. Emma was on one knee holding a beautifully elegant ring out, "Emma…"
"Regina, I love you more than anything or anybody in the world. You've shown me that I'm actually capable of being loved. We've been through a lot, I know but you are the eyes to my soul, you read me like nobody ever has, I need you. No matter what we go through, there's no way I'll ever stop needing you. You are my Queen and I want to spend the rest of my life, giving you the world. You're beautiful and perfect for me," Emma said, "So your majesty,Will You Marry Me?"
Regina couldn't stop the tears that were running down her face. This was so perfect in her eyes, here they were in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by snow, sharing secrets and Emma decides to propose. This is the moment she'd been waiting for since the first time Emma told her that she loved her. Functioning was not possible for Regina at the moment, "I-...Emma...oh my god!"
Emma chuckled, "I need an answer…"
"Yes baby," she nodded, "Yes!"
"Yes?" Regina nodded, Emma stood up and hugged Regina tight while spinning her around, "Oh I love you so much!"
"I love you too," Regina sobbed, "You are...just-," she kissed Emma deeply while pulling her closer.
"Mm," Emma held Regina tight, never wanting to let her go.
Regina pulled away with a huge smile on her face, "Put the ring on," she squealed.
Emma chuckled before sliding the gorgeous ring on Regina's finger, "It's perfect."
"I love it," Regina smiled.

The air was thick, time seemed frozen, nothing else mattered. Emma and Regina were kissing naked tangled up in bed together, they were inseparable. Regina had never been more happy in her life, Emma had made all of her dreams come true...well almost. She knew Emma would have something to say about it but nevertheless, Regina was already thinking about the wedding of her dreams.
Emma was finally happy, the past few years of her life had been full of ups and downs, Regina seemed to solve all of her problems. She loved her the way nobody else did. She accepted all parts of Emma and that is a love that is very hard to come by.
"Make love to me," Regina whispered against Emma's lips.
"Gladly, my queen," Emma smiled before beginning a trail of kisses down the brunette's body.
Regina shivered when the blonde kissed her thighs, "Stop teasing."
Emma chuckled before pecking her fiancé's clit and diving into her core. Regina pulled Emma's hair hard, the blonde's tongue was magic. Emma began to flick her clit rapidly with her tongue, she was addicted to Regina's taste. Regina was going crazy inside, an uncontrollable rush of pleasure filled her body as she began to spasm, what was Emma doing to her?
"Emma, please…" Regina huffed out before letting her orgasm take over.
Emma watched her fiancé shake and quake as her sweet cream spilled out of her, "You're so beautiful."
Regina swallowed trying to calm herself down, she had just had an out of body experience and now all she wanted was for Emma to take her deeply and fill every inch of her, "Take me Emma."
Emma nodded before leaning down pecking the brunette's lips allowing her to taste herself for a quick second before positioned herself at the brunette's entrance, "I love you Regina."
"I love you too Emma," Regina blushed.
Emma slid into Regina with ease and immediately leaned down and latched onto her neck while pulling her closer, "I never want to let you go," she mumbled while going deeper.
Regina blushed and smiled brightly in the dark room, the amount of joy she felt in that moment was what she had been waiting on. She felt herself getting emotional, she began to tear up.
She moaned loudly when Emma stroked her deeper. She could moan, scream and yell as loud as she wanted to, so she definitely wasn't holding back. Feeling Emma in her stomach was the feeling she loved the most, "Yes baby!"
Emma pumping into Regina's core at a steady pace, the brunette was like a suction cup. It amazed Emma how she could never get enough of Regina. Regina took things in her own hands and rolled onto of Emma, "What are you doing?" Emma raised her eyebrow.
Regina ignored her and simply began to rock her hips causing the blonde to drop her head back on the pillow and let her eyes roll back, Regina felt so good. Her moans were driving Emma crazy, she couldn't control them though. She began bouncing on Emma's hard shaft causing Emma to wrap her arms around her waist and guide her down harder, Regina let out a loud yelp.
"You're so perfect," Emma bit her lip as she watched the beautiful breast bounce slowly in her face. After watching Regina for a few more seconds, Emma couldn't help but begin to thrust upward to match Regina's pace.
"Oh god!" Regina screamed as she came again, "Yes! Emma! Yes!" She was now creaming all down the blonde's dick.
Emma began to guide Regina down harder and thrust deeper, "Oh my fucking-...Shit!," she hissed, "I can't hold out much longer."
"Then don't," Regina smirked through a moan.
A growl was heard from Emma as she flipped them back over and began to pound into Regina quickly before slowing down and stiffening into her lover, "Ah shit," she bit her lip as she spilled everything she had into Regina.
Regina looked Emma into the eyes, "Come here."
Emma slid out slowly and laid next to Regina, "Yes?"
"Hold me," Regina whispered. She sighed with relief when she felt strong arms wrap themselves around her, smiling as she snuggled into Emma she said, "I love you more than all of the stars."
"I love you more," Emma said.
"There's only one thing I love more than you to be honest," Regina teased.
"Oh yeah, do tell, your majesty," Emma scoffed.
"My ring," Regina beamed, "It's so perfect."
"Well I'm happy you love it. I prayed you would, I designed it myself," Emma nodded.
"Really?" Regina gasped.
"Really," Emma said before kissing her shoulder.
"Well, thank you," Regina blushed.
"Anything for you Regina," Emma let out a happy sigh, "Anything."
Regina smiled a kid in a candy store, "You know I have a secret too…"
"What is it?" Emma asked asked she ran her fingers through her fiancé's hair.
"I almost proposed to you," she let out a breathless laugh, "You were…" She paused to yawn, "You were taking too long."
Emma chuckled, "Well my apologies, your majesty."
"You're forgiven...I'm happy you waited a while longer though," Regina admitted.
"Why?" Emma's eyebrows furrowed.
"Because I wouldn't want to tell you I'm pregnant again without knowing you were actually going to marry me," Regina shrugged as if it was noting.
Emma's eyes became the size of golfballs, "WHAT?" She smiled.
"Looks like we're expanding…again," Regina rolled her eyes.
"And this time, I'm not missing one minute of it," she placed her hand on Regina's belly, "Momma's gonna be right here."
"I highly doubt they can hear you, I'm only two weeks along, they probably don't have fingernails yet," Regina scoffed.
"Actually, at the two week mark, the fetus is creates a Corpus Luteum, which help to supply hormones to prepare your uterus for pregnancy," Emma shrugged.
Regina blinked a few times, "Oh my god, you really are a nerd."
Emma blushed, "Sorry, I can't help it."
"Don't apologize," Regina smirked as she rolled on top of Emma, "I think it's sexy."
"Oh really?" Emma smirked, "Well let me tell you about how the embryo's hands and feet grow at week 7."
Regina grinned, "Mmm, I'm all ears dear," she smirked as she traveled down Emma's body.
"Or I could tell you about how the sexual organs form at week 11," Emma stated.
Regina grasped her shaft, "I want to hear about all 39 weeks dear."
Emma nodded, "Cool well I guess I can start from-...oh god!" Emma groaned as Regina took her whole member in her mouth.
