Chapter 34.
Regina looked up at Emma smiling happily down at her.
"You're alive!" She cupped Regina's face and kissed her. Then began peppering kisses all over her cheeks."I don't know how but you are." She kissed her lips again. "I love you...do you know that. I love you so much." She heard a small laugh escape Snow's lips. "Honey, let her take a breath."
'I am just so happy, she is alive. I have her back.'
"Sorry." Emma smiled widely at Regina who smiled back at her. "How...did you? Where is my..." She moved her hand under her blood soaked shirt to feel for a deep cut from Mulan's sword but felt nothing but her skin. The cut was gone. There was no mark that she had even been hit.
"May I?" Emma asked and raised her shirt up a few inches revealing the Mayors healed waist. Emma gently traced her fingertips over the would be scar. The movement of made goosebumbs appear on her flesh and for a sharp intake of air from Regina.
Snow began to feel very awkward and cleared her throat making both women blush at the intimate moment she was watching.
Emma slowly moved her fingers off her body. "It is fully healed. Does it hurt?" She asked making sure. "No but how am I here?"
'How am I alive?'
"Emma used magic." Snow said proudly.
"You used magic?" Regina stared at her with wide eyes.
Emma smirked now feeling proud at what she had accomplished. She moved a lock of hair off the mayor's face. Regina gripped her arm with a serious look on her face. "Emma, all magic comes with a price."
"I didn't even know I was using it...it just came out of me. I was crying holding you and yellow sparks appeared and you were alive."
Regina sat up feeling lightheaded. "Love is a very strong magic." She stated. Snow nodded in agreement.
"We need to get out of this land. I almost died and I can't die without seeing my...our son." Emma smiled at her knowing it was true and kissed her lips softly. "We will get back to him. I promised you."
"We should start going now if we want to get there before night rolls in." Snow pointed out as the sun began to rise.
"Are you okay to make it towards the castle?" Emma asked concerned, not wanting to push her.
"I am fine. We should go."
Emma helped Regina to her feet. The Queen stumbled as she tried to walk forward. "Regina, are you okay?"
"I...I feel a bit dizzy." She shook her head and closed her eyes tightly. Emma stood behind her and held the mayor's hips in an effort to keep her steady.
"She lost a lot of blood. Healing a cut won't replace it...it will return soon enough but she won't be strong enough to walk the distance." Snow pointed out.
"Why can't we use magic like Cora did...the magic smoke bomb exit thing." Emma asked resting her head on Regina's shoulder.
"That spell only works with one person."
"Okay fine then until we find another mode of transport, I will carry you." Regina turned her head and raised an eyebrow.
"Don't be absurd, Swan. You are not carrying me." Emma smirked at the her.
"Try and stop me." She swept her off her feet making Regina squeal. She carried Regina bridal style who wrapped an arm around Emma's neck to stop herself from falling.
"Put me down Miss Swan." She said trying not break into a smile at how adorable Emma was being. Emma spun around and laughed. "Never."
"I can't believe I am saying this, but you two are rather cute together." Snow said with a soft smile at the two of them who beamed back at her.
"Off to Snow White's castle." Emma burst into laughter. "The White castle...white castle...Oh god we are like Harold and Kumar."
Emma continued laughing while Snow and Regina shrugged to each other.
'Is that a thing? I don't get that.'
'Was that a film?'
"Are we going to go?" Regina asked moving closer to Emma's body. She nuzzled her head against Emma's chest. Emma blushed and moved her hands up the Queen's thighs.
"Yes, um, let's go."
Snow picked Emma's gun out of the grass and walked just behind them with the gun in her hands.
'If Cora comes back I am gonna give her a piece of my mind for making my daughter hurt like that. She looked so broken when Regina died.'
They walked for miles, only stopping so Emma could adjust and not drop Regina.
"Swan, you can put me down...Your biceps have got to be burning now." She traced her fingertips up Emma's arm making the blonde stare at her with desire in her eyes.
'She is so hot. My arms kinda hurt but it is so worth it.'
"Huh, what...oh...no I am fine."
"You have been carrying me for miles. Please take a rest."
"Well we need to get you something to eat. We need to get me something to eat." Emma sighed wanting a grilled cheese.
"It will involve hunting." Regina pointed out.
"Ew, really?"
"That is not true, there are fruits and vegetables, no animals have to be slaughtered." Snow pointed out. Emma rolled her eyes.
"Well can we get some of those now." Emma groaned. "I am on it." Snow said as she began to forage for edible fruits.
They stopped to take a break in an abandoned hut just a few miles short of the castle. Snow moved straight for the stove. Emma placed Regina on the chairs in the kitchen area. "The color has returned to your face." She held her jaw in both hands examining Regina. "You are so beautiful."
'She called me beautiful.'
Regina broke into a bashful smile. "You are even more so."
"That is impossible." She leaned closer and kissed her lips softly, moaning into it.
"Standing right over here." Snow grumbled. The two separated and Emma looked down at her hands. She stretched her fingers. Regina's blood had dried on her hands. They were sticky and caked in it. "I need a long soak."
"I may join you on that."She blushed darkly when she realised what she said.
'Oh...why does she make me so frazzled.'
'Mmm, her naked in a bath, water dripping down her shoulders to her pert boobs...man, on second thought I need a cold shower.'
'Ugh, don't need that image in my head.'
Emma smirked and Snow cringed. She added "I need a change of clothes." She gestured down to her blood soaked clothes.
"Well we can change once we get to our castle." Snow pointed out as she started chopping vegetables to make a soup.
"Is there indoor plumbing here?" Emma asked feeling angsty. She looked around. "SCORE!" She ran in and used the bathroom and began washing up. Regina went in after her and after washing her hands, Regina moved to the bedroom and saw a mirror in the corner of the room. She walked over to it and began to take off her shirt. She checked her stomach in the cracked mirror over the sink.
Emma leaned against the doorway watching her. She watched as the mayor raised her arm up looking where the sword wound should be. Emma took a step in the door. "Are you okay?"
"Huh?" Regina turned around to see she was being watched. "I...what? Yes of course." She went to pick up her blood stained shirt. Emma stopped her. "Why so fast?"
"Your mother is right outside that door." Regina warned. Emma walked over and snaked her arms around Regina's waist.
"So we will have to be very very quiet." She began to kiss down Regina's neck.
"Emma..."
"Come on I really need to show how thankful I am that this sexy body is still alive." Emma went back to sucking on Regina's skin.
"This sexy bo-I can barely walk you think I will be able to take a mind shattering orgasm ripping through me body?"
"Mind shattering huh?" Emma smirked.
"Oh please you knew it." Regina grabbed her shirt in her hands and crashed her lips against Emma's. She pushed Emma onto the bed and crawled on top of her and went back to kissing her.
Emma moved her hands over her ass and pulled her closer.
"Dinner is...oh my god!" Snow shut the door and hurried back to the kitchen area. 'That is just...ugh. I need to bleach my eyes.'
"Ugh...this is going to be awkward." Emma sighed and Regina laughed."Going to be?" Emma slapped her arm lightly.
"Come on, you need something to eat?" Emma helped Regina back into her shirt and they walked into the kitchen blushing at Snow White who wasn't able to look at them. She placed to bowls in front of them. They all ate in silence.
Both Regina and Emma had seconds while Snow looked out the window.
"Mary Margaret this is really good." Emma said trying to break the silence. "What is in-"
"-horses..."
"What?! Did I just eat horse soup!" Regina looked appalled and pushed her bowl away.
Snow turned back to them with a large grin on her face. "There are horses! In the fields!"
Emma furrowed her brow at why it would be a big deal. Regina however grinned widely. "That is amazing."
"For food?"
"No, for riding."
"Regina is an amazing horse rider." Snow informed her.
Emma turned to look at Regina raising an eyebrow. "You are?"
"Yes, she trained me." Snow gave Regina a quick smile. "It was how we uh..." She frowned realising that if her horse hadn't off gone past Regina she would never have met her father.
"Do you see any saddles?" Regina asked cutting her off. They looked around for them but came up empty. "So no riding?" Emma asked.
"We will just ride bareback." Regina told her. Emma choked on her soup.
"Will it hurt?"
"Uh...it may hurt your inner thighs and your you know..." Snow mumbled off.
Regina moved close to Emma and whispered into her ear in a sultry voice. "I promise to kiss it better afterwards."
Emma tried hard not to moan. Snow left them to go to bathroom. "You will kiss it better?" Regina nodded and kissed her cheek.
When Snow was done they made their way outdoors. Regina rounded up three horses. Emma tugged on her blood stained sleeve. "Regina...I don't know how to..."
"That is okay. You can ride with me."
"I believe I already did."
"Standing right here."
"Sorry mom."
"M-mom, you just called me...oh Emma!" Snow crushed Emma in a hug. She hugged her back resting her head on her shoulder. "Uh...we should go."
Snow wiped her eyes. "Yes...shall we?"
She stood on a bail of hay and propped herself onto one horse. Regina helped Emma up and then pulled herself in front of her.
"Hold on tight Emma." Emma wrapped her arms around Regina's waist.
