A/n: This story is coming to an end soon but I'm working on a sequel! :D
''I'm going to bed.'' Rose said as she walked into the room. Regina and Emma were sitting on the couch. They'd been talking for a few hours now without realizing how late it was getting. Henry had gone to bed an hour ago.
''Good night sweetheart.'' Regina said as she smiled at her daughter.
''Night mom. Bye Emma.'' Rose said. Regina couldn't help but smile when Rose called her mom. She'd finally grown used to Henry saying it again. Her heart skipped a beat every time her daughter said it.
''Bye kid.'' Emma said. Rose walked out and Emma watched as Regina looked after her.
''It's beautiful.'' Emma said and Regina looked at her confused.
''What is?''
''Your smile.'' Emma said, making Regina blush. Regina stared at her hands, not really sure how she could reply.
''Are you happy?'' Emma asked.
''Very, why are you asking?'' Regina asked, not sure where Emma was coming from.
''It's just- I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time.'' Emma told her.
''A lot has happened.'' Regina sighed and Emma felt guilty for making that gorgeous smile disappear from Regina's face.
''I know that. I just want you to be with the people who make you happy.'' Emma said and Regina noticed the uncertain look in her eyes.
''Emma, you do make me happy.'' Regina moved closer to Emma on the couch. Emma placed her head on Regina's shoulder and Regina rested hers against Emma's.
''Never thought I'd hear you say that.'' Emma laughed.
''That makes two of us.'' Regina said grinning.
''I'm sorry for everything I did and said, before and after the curse was broken.'' Emma apologized.
''Me too.'' Regina whispered.
''You're a great mom.'' Emma told Regina, not moving her head from the brunette's shoulder.
''So are you.'' Regina promised. They sat like that for a while. Not moving, not speaking.
Just enjoying each other's company.
''So what's the plan for tomorrow?'' Emma asked.
''We're going to decorate the house when she's on her run. Most of the time she's gone for about an hour so Henry wanted to make a cake. It'll be done just in time I hope.'' Regina explained.
''So when do I need to be here?'' Emma asked and Regina was glad they weren't looking at each other otherwise she would have never dared to say this;
''You know you don't have to go. You could stay here for tonight.'' Regina offered. She closed her eyes waiting for the rejection. Instead she felt something soft against her lips, Emma's lips. When Emma pulled away and Regina opened her eyes, Emma noticed a hint of confusion.
''I'd love to stay here tonight.'' She started, ''With you.'' She added and Regina couldn't help but smile. ''There's that beautiful smile I was talking about.'' Emma said before placing a small kiss on Regina's nose.
''That's because I'm happy.'' Regina said before Kissing Emma deeply again.
''Me too.'' Emm smiled, resting her forehead against Regina's. Regina sighed. ''What is it?'' Emma asked.
''You make me feel worthy.'' Regina admitted.''You make me feel like I belong.''
''That's because you do. You belong here. With Henry and Rose.'' Emma said, ''And me.'' Emma added, giving Regina a quick kiss. Regina thn kissed Emma deeper.
''Are you sure you want to do this?'' Emma asked, knowing where this was headed.
''Yes.'' Regina said. She took Emma's hands and took her upstairs.
