It was the feeling that she was sleeping on rocks that roused Regina from sleep. She wasn't in her bed like she expected to be, but was instead laying against Emma's chest on the sofa in the family room. She sat up carefully so as not to wake the blonde and turned to face her, unable to stop the smile that broke over her face as she though back to their date. She reached over and grabbed her phone from the coffee table to check the time and saw that it was a little after twelve, signalling Valentine's Day was officially over.
The mayor pouted at that and considered just lying back down against her new favourite cushion and trying to fall back asleep, but the muscly sheriff was not all that comfortable. She picked up the mugs from the table and tiptoed out of the room to clean them, debating calling Henry to see how he was doing. She had no sooner left the mugs to drain before she felt she was being drawn back to the family room, to her favourite blonde.
She carefully lifted the blonde's legs atop the sofa and recovered her with the blanket. As much as she wanted to lay back down in Emma's arms, she knew they would both be better for it in the morning if they got some decent sleep. Before she grabbed another blanket and settled on the recliner, Henry's favourite chair, she rounded the other side of the sofa and kissed Emma's forehead, brushing some hair from her face, before muttering to the almost comatose blonde.
"I love you…"
