A/N: To the guest reviewer on the previous chapter who said that the grammar in this story was horrible – thank you for the confident boost! Seriously thought thank you, it's nice to see where I go wrong, and I did plan on updating this daily but I think I'll now just leave a few days between each chapter, I don't really have time to be re-reading chapters as I work pretty much every day so this goes up when I have time! Anyway another chapter please enjoy! Also reviews are greatly appreciated and I will try my best to reply to them as soon as! Flashbacks for Storybrooke will be in italics!
Fairy Tale Land
The sun shown into the room basking it in a beautiful golden glow, Emma groaned and stretched, blinking her eyes open, she opened them slowly and smiled, she turned her head to see Regina curled up beside her, her arm thrown across Emma's stomach and her other placed beside her head, Emma smiled at the reminder of last night, she felt, light and free, however her smile soon turned to a frown when she saw the trace of blood on Regina's hand,
"Gina, REGINA!" Emma shouted shaking the brunette awake, Regina shot up and looked around the room frantically, until her gaze landed on Emma, she saw the blonde staring at her with wide eyes,
"What is wrong?" Regina asked concern in her voice; Emma took Regina's hand and held it up to her,
"You are bleeding" Emma said panicked, Regina couldn't help but let a small laugh out at the look of sheer horror on her lover's face, "why are you laughing, this is serious Regina, you have been injured and it could be fatal" Emma said pushing Regina back and removing the blanket to look over her, Regina was freely laughing which was making Emma panic, "is it your head, is that why you are laughing?" Emma asked lifting Regina's head gently to inspect it, Regina managed to compose herself enough to grab Emma's hands and flip them,
"I am fine my love" Regina said placing a kiss on Emma's lips, Emma however was not convinced and tried to roll them but Regina kept them in place, "it is your blood my dear" Regina said simply, Emma gasped and pushed Regina off, she stood and looked at herself trying to find the source of the blood, again Regina chuckled and pulled Emma to her, "Stop fretting my love, you are not injured" Regina said placing a kiss on Emma's lips, Emma sighed and leaned into Regina, Regina pulled back and took Emma's hands, she motioned her head to Emma's legs, "see princess" Regina said when Emma's eyes widened at the faint stain of blood between her legs, she looked up at Regina wide eyed and Regina smiled, "this" Regina said as she moved closer to Emma and pulled her towards her, "happens to almost every woman their first time, it is nothing to worry about my love, it is but natural" Regina said moving her hands over the blood stain and it disappeared, Emma looked at Regina and blushed,
"Well, there was no cause for alarm, I feel only foolish now" Emma said with a small smile, Regina herself smiled and pulled Emma between her own legs,
"There is nothing to feel foolish about my love" Regina said placing a kiss on Emma's nose, Emma smiled and sighed, resting her head on Regina's shoulder, Regina smiled and ran her hand up and down Emma's back, Emma smiled and kissed Regina's shoulder before pulling back, Emma let her hands roam Regina's front and stopped to take her breasts in her hands, she looked at Regina as she gently squeezed them, Regina moaned and Emma smiled, she squeezed them once more, Emma wanted nothing more than to make Regina feel as she did the night before but she was worried that she would fail, Regina sensing Emma's conflicting feelings took Emma's hands in her own, "do not worry yourself my love, last night was about you" Regina said placing a kiss on each of Emma's fingers, "when you are ready Emma and only then" Regina said leaning forward and placing a kiss on Emma's nose, Emma smiled and nodded.
White Kingdom
"The Huntsman requests your presence my Queen" a voice came from behind the door of Snow and Charming's chambers, Snow got out of bed and grabbed her robe, she wrapped it around her naked self and opened the door,
"Tell him I shall be there momentarily" Snow said closing the doors again and walking over to her wardrobe,
"Are you sure it is wise, trusting him Snow?" Charming said as he pushed himself up onto his elbow, Snow looked at him,
"He saved me once, I trust him" Snow said, Charming just nodded, he had a terrible feeling that something bad was going to happen but he just let it slide, for now.
"Graham, what news?" Snow said as she entered the throne room, Graham turned and smiled at Snow bowing his head,
"Regina's army is growing, she is planning, something, something that I do not know of" Graham said with some annoyance, Snow smiled,
"This is not new, what of Emma?" Snow said sitting on her throne; she raised her eyebrow when Graham hesitated, "Graham?" Snow asked,
"She has not left Regina's side in weeks" Graham said watching as Snow's face fell,
"How so?" Snow asked, Graham gulped,
"They, confessed their love for each other, and Regina, took Emma to bed a few nights ago" Graham said, he took a step back when he saw Snow reach for the goblet, she threw it and it hit of the door, two guards rushed in but Snow waved them off,
"She bedded my daughter?" Snow asked almost too calmly, Graham simply nodded, Snow's eyes grew cold, "that simply will not do" she said a evil grin forming.
Storybrooke
Emma was standing in her room at the B&B looking though her bag,
"Hello there beautiful" Emma said pulling a red dress from her bag, she smiled, "Madam Mayor prepare to be amazed" Emma said, a knock at the door made Emma pull herself out of her trans, she placed the dress on the bed and opened the door to Ruby. She forgot that she was just wearing her vest and underwear and Ruby's eyes flashed with desire, Emma couldn't help but smirk, 'my my, you could have both of them eating out of your hand' Emma thought to herself, "Ruby, what can I do for you" Emma said leaning against the door, Ruby swallowed and attempted to talk,
"Re...Regina dropped by, she said asked me to give you this" Ruby said holding up a small black bag, Emma eyed the bag curiously and took it from Ruby,
"Thanks Rubes" Emma said with a smile, Ruby nodded and turned quickly walking away, Emma chuckled and closed the door, she opened the bag and pulled out a small note, a rose attached to it,
Emma
I look forward to seeing you tonight,
Regina
Xx
Emma smiled and sniffed the rose, she smiled and placed it in a small glass vase that was sitting full of fake flowers on her dresser, she added some water and placed it by the window,
"Have you gone soft Madam Mayor, because from what I've heard this doesn't seem like the big bad mayor everyone has been telling me about" Emma said with a small laugh as she went about getting ready.
Emma pulled into Mifflin Drive at exactly 6:56, "with four minutes to spare, you are getting better Swan" Emma said rather proud of herself, Emma wasn't use to being asked to dinner, by a friend or someone more, so she wasn't sure what to bring, she knew wine was out of the question because she wanted more of Regina's cider, the two bottles she had been given had been drank already, so she went for a simple yet beautiful bouquet of flowers and from what Belle had said, they seemed to be Regina's favorite, she ordered a fresh bunch ever two weeks,
Emma pulled up outside Game of Thrones, she looked at the small yet simple flower shop and smiled, she just hoped that someone knew Regina well enough to know what flowers she likes, Emma walked in and was immediately greeted by a small yet beautiful Australian woman,
"Hi, how may I help you" she said with a smile,
"Hi, I'm having dinner with the Mayor and was wondering if you could help me" Emma said not really sure how to approach the subject, the girl behind the counter raised an eyebrow but smiled.
"Regina usual orders a fresh bunch of orchids ever two weeks, I would go with them to be safe" she said as she pointed Emma to the corner, Emma nodded and walked over, she didn't know what to go with so she lifted five purple and five white, "ah a bold choice, Regina usually goes for the white but purple seems more her colour, I'm Belle by the way" Belle said offering her hand, Emma smiled and took it and shook it lightly,
"Emma, and thank you for all your help" Emma said taking the flowers from Belle and exiting the shop.
Emma took a deep breath and got out of the car, taking her flowers with her, she walked up the small path to Regina's house, she fixed her black leather jacket and smoothed down her dress before ringing the door bell and waited anxiously. On the other side of the door, Regina was pacing the living room,
"What are you doing?" Regina asked herself, she was wearing a purple dress with black tights and black boots, her hair in curls that hung loosely around her face, the lasagna was ready and was just staying warm in the oven, she had also a bottle of apple cider chilling with another two in the fridge, she had a fresh apple tart sitting out for desert, too many times Regina had wanted to ring and cancel on Emma, but she stopper herself, "you are the Queen, there is nothing to be nervous about" Regina would tell herself and go back to pacing the room, Regina stopped dead in her tracks and turned every shade of white when the door bell sounded, she took a deep breath and walked towards the front door, she opened it and was speechless, there was Emma, her Emma, in a beautiful red dress, with a black leather jacket, and her black boots that looked awfully like the ones she had back in Fairy Tale Land, her hair was in their signature princess curls that hung over her shoulders and down her back Regina gulped and couldn't help but let her eyes rake over Emma's body, 'oh my darling, you look stunning' Regina thought, she pulled herself together and smiled at the blonde,
"Hi" Emma said shyly, Regina smiled,
"You look beautiful Emma, please come in" Regina said opening the door fully allowing Emma to walk in, Emma walked in and stood waiting for Regina to give instructions, Regina closed the door and turned to Emma, "can I take your jacket" she said, Emma nodded and slipped off her jacket, feeling rather bare without it, Regina smiled, Emma's arms where toned and when she tensed them Regina's knees went weak, Regina had always loved Emma's arms, even in Fairy Tale Land, she would stare at them when she would train, and would grab onto them tightly when they made love, she loved them, they were strong and made her feel safe, however she wanted to pull Emma into a kiss right there and then when she saw a tattoo covering the length of her upper left arm, she couldn't make out the detail but she saw, blacks, grey's and purple's, she smiled to herself, "Dinner is in the oven, can I tempt you in a glass of cider?" Regina asked making her way into the living room, Emma smiled,
"Do you really have to ask?" Emma asked, Regina laughed and shook her head, she left the room and came back a few moments later with two glass of cider, she gave one to Emma and Emma smiled, "thank you, I finished the bottles you gave me, I couldn't stop" Emma said taking a sip, Regina smiled proudly,
"I must admit Emma, you are the first to take such a strong liking to my cider" Regina said honestly, it was no lie, only a few had tried her cider and of the few only one had really like it, the main being Graham, until Emma came along and she found herself having to make more and more as Emma just drank it constantly, Regina was going to say something else but the timer on the oven went off, "ah that is dinner" Regina said, Emma smiled and followed Regina into the kitchen,
"Do you need a hand?" Emma asked, Regina smiled,
"No, please take a seat and I shall bring in dinner" Regina said motioning to a white door to the side of the kitchen island, Emma nodded and walked through, she stopped,
"Wow" Emma said, the room soft lighting and candles were on the table, slow music was playing and flowers were placed in the middle of the table,
"Dinner is served" Regina said walking though the door and looking at a shocked Emma, she smiled to herself, "I wasn't sure on a theme so I just went with what came to mind" Regina said taking a seat at the other end of the table, Emma smiled at her,
"This is beautiful Regina, truly" Emma said, she lifted her glass, "a toast" Emma said, Regina smiled and raised her glass also, "to new beginnings" Emma said, Regina smiled,
"To new beginnings"
