When Regina woke up she couldn't help but smile, thinking back of the night before. She'd finally told Emma. Touching her lips, Regina thought back of the kisses they'd shared. So gentle, so amazing.
Regina got up and started to get ready. Emma had gone home the night before to talk to her mother and she and Regina were going to meet at Granny's to talk about Rose's birthday. When she came downstairs, she looked at the clock to see it was 8am. Regina was expecting her daughter back from her run any minute now. On que Rose walked through the front door.
''Good morning.'' Rose said as she took out her earphones and got a glass of water. Regina watched her daughter move around the kitchen like she'd been here for years.
It felt natural.
''Are you okay?'' Rose asked, snapping Regina out of her thoughts.
''Yes, sorry.'' Regina smiled, ''How was your run?''
''Fine.'' Rose said, not convinced Regina was okay.
''I'm meeting Emma at Granny's. Will you and Henry be okay on your own?'' Regina asked.
''Yeah sure. Are you two going to the station?'' Rose asked. Regina has completely forgotten about Tamara and Leopold. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. ''You're not okay.'' Rose stated
''I am fine, I promise.'' Regina said and she walked over to Rose to place a kiss on her head. ''I'll be back soon.''
''Be safe mom.'' Rose said. The words made Regina spin around with tears appearing in her eyes. After everything they'd been through Regina had accepted that the girl would probably never call her mom and that was okay. She accepted it and she was just extremely grateful to have her daughter back into her life.
''Thank you.'' Regina said, walking back to take her daughter into her arms. Rose knew Regina was talking about calling her 'mom'.
''It's just the truth and after everything I've done you still haven't given up on me. That makes you the best mom anyone could ever ask for.'' Rose whispered and Regina hugged her tighter.
''Now go, you have a date with Emma at Granny's.'' Rose teased as she pulled away from her mom.
''It's not a date.'' Regina argued.
''Sure it isn't.'' Rose winked and with that she left to go upstairs, leaving no room for Regina to argue some more.
''Sorry I'm late.'' Regina said as she slipped into the booth facing Emma.
''Everything okay?'' Emma asked confused when she noticed a big smile on Regina's face.
''Perfect.'' Regina started, ''Rose called me mom.'' Regina explained.
''I told you she would, I'm really happy for you.'' Emma told her.
''Thank you.'' Regina said, staring into Emma's eyes.
''Ready to go shopping?'' Emma asked.
''Yeah, I think I found the perfect gift.'' Regina smiled and they got up to go shopping.
When Emma and Regina were done shopping, they walked to Regina's house. They had stored the presents at Emma's house.
''Emma?'' Regina asked.
''Yeah?'' Emma looked over to Regina.
''Did you talk to your mother last night?'' Regina was a little bit afraid of the answer. She didn't want Mary Margaret to find out about the two of them yet. She knew her and David wouldn't approve.
''I did. I told her I didn't want to talk about it but I forgave her. I could tell she didn't want to make me upset so she let it go.'' Emma explained.
''Does she know about-'' Regina started, not knowing how to finish that sentence. She wanted to say us but was there an us? Emma noticed the battle in Regina's head.
''Does she know about us? No.'' Emma said, taking Regina's hand as they walked. Normally Regina would have withdrawn her hand but with Emma she didn't feel like hiding.
