Chapter 3:
Regina and Emma were able to find the 'Once Upon a Time' book a few days later. It had appeared to Emma the night before when she was getting ready to have a family meal over at her parent's place. Though as far as Henry was aware at the time it was just a dinner between close friends and Regina. He spent some time with both Regina and Emma most nights. While spending his time during the day either reading in the library with an ever watchful Belle, who took it upon herself to look into the various magic books that Rumple owned. Or out on Hook's boat, getting sailing lessons from the pirate.
**Flashback**
Emma took the book with her to Snow and David's loft so that Regina, Snow and David could be there when Henry got his memories back. They waited until after the end of the meal to give him the book, so that they would be able to properly deal with Henry's reaction to getting his memories back. When he touched the cover of the book you could see he had gained recognition of who they were. But it wasn't until Regina gave him a kiss on his forehead that his full memories came flooding in.
"Mum, I love you too!" said Henry when the familial true love magic finished it's job of giving him his full memories back. "Gran, Gramps! It is so good to see you again…Hey, where is my dad?" asked Henry after he had finished hugging his family.
"We don't know. We haven't seen him here in Storybrooke and we still don't remember what happened to us during that year back in the Enchanted Forest. So the true love's kiss only gave Henry his memories." Explained Snow.
"Yeah, Regina and I thought that might be the case. It is going to take romantic true love to break this curse." Said Emma, her cheeks redden at the mention of true love.
"Wait, so that means Ma and Mum are going to be the ones to break the curse? That is soooo awesome!" said Henry excitedly as he connected the dots.
"Yes it looks that way, my little prince." Said Regina lovingly. She was very happy to confirm that she shared familial true love with her son. Ever since he had learned he was adopted and got the 'Once Upon a Time' book for the first time, she had felt the shift in their relationship. Ever since she had been trying to get Henry to accept her as his mother again. So, now that she had finally reached that goal she felt almost complete.
The only thing she needed now was to share true love's kiss here in the real world with Emma. That was going to take some time, but she knew in her heart that it will happen. It was just a matter of when. The remainder of the night, Snow, David and Regina filled Henry in fully about what they knew about the current curse. As Henry was very much interested in joining the operation in figuring out who cast the curse and took away their memories. They talked about the mock fight in town hall and the stakeout that revealed that they were dealing with a witch with green magic.
"Well the only witch I can think off that uses green magic is the Wicked Witch of the West from Oz. She is supposed to have green skin though. Maybe being here in Storybrooke allows her to hide it?" suggested Henry after listening to what his family had told him about it.
"Good thinking kid! If I remember what it said in the Wizard of Oz books, the key to defeating the Wicked Witch of the West is water. But that book was written by a non magical person in the Land Without Magic. So how accurate is it likely to be? Maybe Belle has found something in Rumple's books?" contemplated Emma.
"Possibly, we should probably visit her in the library and find out." Suggested David.
"Great, well you can do that dad. Henry will be going to school, mum can you see about getting him re-enrolled?" organised Emma.
"Sure thing honey, what are you going to do?" replied Snow.
"I am going to take on the Sheriff's badge again and help Regina in locating the Wicked Witch. Ruby mentioned the other night that she noticed a farm house on the other side of town, we should check it out tomorrow, see if she has been hiding out there." Answered Emma.
"Well that's settled, did you and Henry want to both come stay with me at the manor or did you still want to stay at the bed and breakfast?" asked Regina, hoping that Emma would choose to stay at hers. She had grown accustomed to falling asleep in Emma's arms that she was afraid that she might not be ready.
"Ma, I would like to move back into my room at mum's. If that is alright with you." Said Henry, using his puppy dog eyes to try and sway Emma over to say yes.
"Of course you can Hen, it is your home after all. Are you sure Regina? I don't want to be a burden to you…"replied Emma tentatively, wanting to be certain that Regina was ready to have her around longer then just overnight.
"I am sure Emma. I also think it would make it easier to protect Henry if the three of us are under the same roof." Replied Regina, trying her best to maintain her composure. She wasn't quite ready to become full on sappy in front of her potential future in-laws. The three of them headed to the bed and breakfast to pack up Emma and Henry's things, then continued on to Regina's house.
Once they get to Regina's house Emma parked her bug next to Regina's Mercedes. She got out of the car, using her magic to transport their things inside Regina's house. She put her bag of things in the guest room next to Regina's room for the time being. For as much as they were both ready to be living under the same roof, it didn't mean that Regina was ready for her to move into her bedroom completely just yet. Henry ran up the stairs excitedly, completely ignoring Regina telling him to not run on the stairs.
He was far too excited to listen, with his new teenage hormones to boot, he was just very much set on doing his own thing. He was happy to see that his room was exactly as he left it over a year ago. He placed the fairytale book on his bedside table. He then got ready for bed, so that he could spend as much time reading it as he liked.
Regina and Emma however walked slowly up the stairs together, Emma enjoying the view as she walked behind Regina. "We should take a bath before bed…"suggested Emma.
"hmm, I like how you think Em-ma…" replied Regina seductively as she looked at Emma over her shoulder. The two women walked just a little bit faster after that, when they reached Regina's bedroom they began stripping their clothes off. Letting each article of clothing to fall to the floor not caring for the moment where the clothes wound up landing. All they cared about was getting to see the other naked in the real world, to touch each other, caress places they had only dreamed about and got to explore in the astral realm.
To taste each other's forbidden fruit, as the saying goes. By the time they reach the ensuite bathroom, Emma and Regina were completely naked. As Regina got the bath running adding some of her favourite essential oils to the water, Emma stared at her in awe. Arousal began to pool and drip down her thighs, as she thought about all the things she wanted to do with Regina's amazing body. She wanted to taste her olive toned skin, to drink in her arousal and feel her inner walls pulse around her fingers as she came hard screaming her name. The fantasy alone, had Emma moaning in pleasure.
Regina turned to look at Emma when she heard the moan, upon seeing just how much of a horny mess the blonde was before her. Her own arousal had grown more intense, her need for the blonde became almost unbearable. "The bath is ready, come join me I want to feel your body against mine." Said Regina, voice dripping with seduction.
Emma couldn't formulate any words at present, the only thing she could do was nod and stumble clumsily towards Regina. Getting into the bath first, so that Regina could sit in between her legs and lean backwards into her chest. Just how Regina wanted it to be. The two of them relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of just being together in the steaming hot bath. "I could get used to this…" said Emma finally, once her brain had caught up with the situation.
"So could I, I love the feeling of your strong arms around me. To feel your magic call out to mine. It is one of the best feelings in the world." Replied Regina as she moved in the bath so that she was now facing Emma.
"I love holding you close when we are sleeping. And just now while we were relaxing. But what I would really love to do is make love to you like we did in the Astral Plane. I want to taste you as you came in my mouth, I want to…" said Emma before Regina interrupted her sentence with a fierce kiss, as she straddled Emma's lap.
"I want all of that as well, take me to bed Emma…" replied Regina before Emma too interrupted her with an equally fierce kiss, that had potential to turn into more. Emma then used her magic to teleport both of them back into Regina's room. Naked, but clean and dry. She had landed them both in the centre of Regina's large queen's sized bed.
Regina laying on her back, her legs opened wide enough so that Emma could clearly see her glistening arousal. Just begging for Emma to dive in and taste it. As much as Emma wanted to do just that, she didn't want to rush it. She wanted to savour it. To truly worship Regina's divine body. Emma lays herself gently on top of Regina, pressing her own wet centre onto Regina's. She kisses Regina on her lips, who willingly deepens it. Allowing her hands to grip Emma's arse, pulling her closer.
Emma and Regina, moaned at the feeling of their clits pressing together. Emma then kisses Regina once more on her lips before leaving a trail of kisses down her neck, collarbone and her breasts. Which she took into her mouth, where she licked, nipped and sucked. While with her free hand that wasn't holding Regina close to her, she caressed the neglected breast. Drawing out a loud moan from Regina, that enticed Emma to switch to the other breast giving it the same treatment.
Regina moaned once again as Emma let her breasts go and continued down her body, leaving a trail of kisses in her wake. As Emma reached Regina's glistening folds, Emma smiled lovingly before saying; "You are so beautiful. Inside and out. I love you, Regina." with those words uttered, Emma begins to lick around Regina's clit. Making sure to tease it, but not stimulate it just yet.
"Emma, please don't tease…" pleaded a desperate Regina, who was arching her body seeking any friction she could get on her bundle of nerves. Emma conceded to her wishes taking in the quivering bundle into her mouth. Sucking it hard, her tongue swirling, teeth gently nipping it. bringing Regina to her first orgasm for the night. Emma licked Regina clean, then kissed her way back up Regina's body. Kissing her on the lips, so that Regina could taste herself as Emma kissed her. Emma then plunged two of her fingers into Regina's tight wet channel.
She began a steady rhythm, thrusting in and out and curving them at just the right angle to stimulate Regina's g-spot in every stroke of her fingers. Soon enough Emma could feel her inner walls pulse around her fingers, prompting Emma to insert a third digit. Giving Regina a sense of fullness. As she continued to thrust her fingers, Emma's magic began to spark and without either of them realising; Emma's magic healed the part of Regina inside that had cursed her to be infertile. And unknowingly giving Regina a special gift that she had longed to experience. As Emma picked up the intensity of the thrusting, Regina used one of her hands to give Emma the same pleasure she was receiving wanting Emma to come at the same time as herself.
She infused her thrusts with her own magic, connecting them completely; heart, mind, body and soul. A couple more thrusts and both Emma and Regina moan each other's name as loudly as possible while in the throws of their highest passion. Then as they started to come down from the mutual orgasmic high, they kiss once more. Causing their combined magic to burst out, throughout the entire town. Breaking the curse and giving everyone their memories back.
The magical blast was so strong that it knocked Zelena backwards down the stairs of the cellar she had just came out of, after having delivered a caged Rumplestiltskin his nightly meal and dose of torture. The sight of seeing Zelena fall arse over tit down the stairs had an already unstable Rumple cackling with glee. "You're going to loose, You're going to loose…" sing-songed Rumple to further rub it in to Zelena that Regina and Emma are going to defeat her.
"Shut it you. I've had enough of your gibberish for one day." Said a frazzled Zelena, as she made her way back up the stairs. When she reaches the top she sees her partner in crime Robin, looking at her with concern. "Are you alright mi'lady? I saw the bright flash of magic and it had me worried." Said Robin, offering his hand to Zelena in a misplaced gesture of chivalry.
"I am fine my wicked one. That flash was nothing for you too worry about. It doesn't change my plans in the slightest. But a certain Saviour and my sister have another thing coming if it is the last thing I do!" declared a pissed off Zelena.
"Well, this might brighten your day. Snow White has been seen reading books about pregnancy and grossing other people out with strange facts about babies. And that David fellow has been seen roaming the woods with his sword, fighting shadows. I would say his courage is just about ready for you to collect. I think I have found a way to get that resilient heart you need. If you challenge Regina to a magical duel on main street, she will accept the challenge without hesitation. Especially if you threaten the boy named Henry." Explained Robin as they walked inside the farmhouse.
"That is good news. You have done great work. Now follow me to the bedroom to receive your reward…" replied Zelena, using her most seductive tone of voice and come hither eyes to entice the thief. She knew the easiest way to get him to do anything she wants him to do is to reward his good work and deeds he has done for her with sex. She didn't for one second love him, he was terrible in bed and couldn't kiss to save his life. But he was a loyal and useful minion. Those two factors are hard to come by when you're a villain.
The next morning came and Zelena snuck out of the arms of Robin as quietly as she could be. She had work to do and she needed to get it done before the rest of the town noticed that the curse had been broken. If she was going to collect the courage of a brave Prince and warrior she needed to do so before either Snow or David figured out what she had done. So she engulfed herself in her signature magic, then teleported herself to the Charming's loft.
Once she arrived and her magic had dissipated around her, she quietly walked over to where David kept his sword. She picked it up and inspected it, letting her magic hum around her hand and the sword. It was indeed ready for her to use in her time travel spell. ' Excellent, that is two down; two to go.' Thought Zelena as she left the loft with the sword, taking it to her own private vault. That was secretly located in a room behind the root cellar, where she was hiding a mentally disturbed Rumple.
She placed it on the stand she had ready for the sword, then teleported out of the room and into Regina's kitchen where she found her younger half-sister making breakfast. Regina was cutting up some apples from her apple tree. "Red apples are so sickly sweet don't you think?" said Zelena, startling Regina with the unexpected visit from her sister. It was a shock for her to find out that the Wicked Witch was her older half-sister. It was a phone call from Belle that woke her and Emma earlier in the morning. While Regina was getting breakfast ready for Emma, Henry and herself. Emma was in the bathroom getting ready as was Henry in his bathroom.
"What are you doing here, Zelena? I am not in the mood for one of your little tantrums today." Retorted Regina, remembering to maintain her poise and composure.
"I am here to tell you that breaking the curse won't stop me from enacting my plan. I already have half of the ingredients I need. The other two? Well that can be easily obtained." Taunted Zelena.
"I don't thinks so greenie!" threatened Emma, who had come down from upstairs and heard the conversation between the sisters.
"What are you going to do about it? What makes you think you are strong enough to defeat me?" taunted Zelena in return.
"I am not an amateur, I am the saviour." Stated Emma simply.
"It appears somebody's got an inflated sense of self-worth." Retorted Zelena as she lazily shot a green energy ball in Emma's direction to prove her point.
Emma easily deflected the green ball by erecting a defensive shield around herself. Then with an energy ball of her own she decimated the green magic like it was nothing. Regina watched on with pride, a fireball at the ready if it seemed that Emma needed her help.
"You will pay for that!"said Zelena ,getting angry and very much afraid of what else Emma was capable off. Clearly she underestimated the blonde. In the corner of her eye she noticed Henry walk into the room, seemingly oblivious to the dangerous situation he just walked into the middle of. In a split second decision, Zelena grabbed Henry in a magical chokehold. Prompting Regina to step into the fray.
Regina shot her hand up sending a magical pulse in Zelena's direction forcing her to let go of Henry, once she felt herself be held by a magical chokehold. With her preoccupation with dealing with Regina's magical pulse, she failed to notice that Emma had gotten Henry to safety then was the one to actually be holding her in the chokehold. Zelena assumed it was Regina's doing since she was holding her hand up in the gesture required for the chokehold.
"I challenge you to a formal magical duel tomorrow at noon on Main Street near the clock tower. Don't be late." Declared Zelena as soon as Emma let her down from the hold, once she got the go ahead from Regina.
"Bring it on. And by the way black is my colour." Declared Regina, accepting the duel. Zelena then teleported herself back to her farmhouse to recharge her magic and work on her plan to find a way to speed up Snow's pregnancy. She needs their newborn child for the spell. As only a newborn child of true love, has the power that she can easily tap into to activate the time travel spell. When Zelena leaves the small family of three head into the kitchen to finish preparing their breakfast that got rudely interrupted. They eat the breakfast consisting of Banana pancakes with a rich butterscotch sauce, crispy middle bacon and scrambled eggs. Emma and Regina enjoy a cup of coffee each, while Henry has his glass of pineapple and orange juice.
"So, mum how do you plan on defeating Aunt Zelena? She uses pretty powerful dark magic." Asked a curious Henry.
"Hmm, well I could start off with my more known magic. Give her a false sense of security, then blast her with my light magic to finish her off. Hopefully I can defeat her before she can fully enact her plan." Answered Regina.
"What about me? I can help, you don't have to go up against her alone." Asked Emma, worry and concern is clear in her voice and body language.
"I know you can help and you will, just not this battle. I have a more important job for you during the upcoming fight with my sister. And Henry, I would prefer it if you stayed away from the battle. I don't want you getting hurt. But if you are going to turn up regardless please do make sure to stay as far back from where the fight is going to be as you possibly can. I just know your grandparents will turn up, so perhaps you can do us a favour and make sure they stay out of the fight. Especially your grandmother. Can you do that for me Henry?" explained Regina.
"Okay Mum, I can do that. What about Ma what is she going to do during the battle? Why can't she join with her magic?" asked Henry, wanting to know every part of the plan.
"She can join with her magic, Emma just needs to do it discreetly. And she is going to take on the important job of protecting both of our hearts." Explained Regina without going into too much details. As she wanted to explain it properly to Emma in private. They finish eating their breakfast in companionable silence, taking in everything that was said and what was to come with the big battle the next day. Once they finished eating Henry took off into their entertainment room to play his xbox as he sensed that his mothers need some space to themselves.
Once he left the room, Emma and Regina washed the dishes together. "You want my help with keeping your heart safe? I thought I already do that by being your true love and you keep mine safe by being my true love." Asked Emma as she was scrubbing one of the fry pans.
"While that is true, I am going to need to place my actual heart in your chest if you let me. As you really shouldn't bring your heart into a witch fight. Especially when it's between the two daughters of the Queen of Hearts. One who just happens to be a former Evil Queen, infamous for ripping out hearts of her enemies and her loyal dark knights. But to be able to place my heart in your chest I need your permission. I can't just shove my hand in your chest without you letting me, if I did that I would get flung away by the force of your protective shield around your heart. The one that comes with being a product of true love." Explained Regina as she took the fry pan from Emma to dry it.
"Alright, like what happened with your mother when she tried to take my heart in the Enchanted Forest and got blasted back when I said to her that love was strength; not a weakness." Replied Emma as they finished up with washing the dishes.
"Then you should secure your heart next to mine now, up in your bedroom so that we have some privacy from any prying eyes. I have a feeling that there has been someone spying on us lately. Haven't been able to figure out who the spy is yet, but I have been sending out our Deputies to try and figure it out during their patrols." Suggested Emma, as she took one of Regina's hands and led her upstairs to Regina's master bedroom.
When they reach inside the bedroom, Emma gives Regina a reassuring kiss on the lips. Regina returned the kiss but doesn't deepen it as she needs to be able to concentrate on what she is going to do. They breakaway from their kiss, then Regina steps back just enough to be arms reach from the elbow. She didn't want to be too far away from Emma too do this. As this will be the most intimate act they have done so far.
"Are you sure about this Emma?" asked Regina, giving her a chance to back out.
"I am sure Regina, just like I am sure about you. Let me be your safe harbour." Replied Emma with all her love in her heart.
Regina then reached into her own chest and took out her glowing red heart, it still had some swirling darkness around and in it but, the red was slowly pushing it back. Showing the results of Regina's path to redemption at work.
She then gently placed her heart inside Emma's chest. "You have always been my safe harbour, even when we were fighting. I still felt safe around you. I didn't want to accept it back then, but I certainly felt it. I trust and love you Emma." Said Regina as she slowly took her hand back out of Emma's chest. Emma feeling the strength of Regina's and her own love for one another as she pulled Regina in for a passionate kiss. One of which Regina eagerly deepened. Even without her heart in her chest she could still feel the love she has for the blonde.
They only break away from the kiss to get some air into their burning lungs. "We should warn my parents about the upcoming battle so that they can get word out to keep everyone away from the fight." Said Emma once she had recovered from their emotionally charged kiss.
"Yes, we should and bring Henry with us. He can stay at the loft tonight with your parents, he will be safer there. Once we place a blood magic spell over the loft using your blood. That way Zelena can't get to your mother there." Said Regina. They then walked back downstairs hand in hand. The newness of their shared true love's kiss was still there, their need to be close to each other stronger than ever before. Especially with Emma now safeguarding both of their hearts.
"Hey Henry, how about you come with us to your grandparents place. We need to inform them about the battle tomorrow. And we thought you might like to stay the night there. That way you can keep them safe for tomorrow for us." Said Regina as they reached the entertainment room.
"Sure mum, I can do that. It would be an honour to safe guard my grandma and future aunt or uncle." Replied Henry as he saved his game. He didn't want his sims family to do anything stupid before he could save the game. He then turned off his xbox and the television. "I just need to pack an overnight bag." Said Henry as he walked past his parents. Once he had packed his overnight bag, fairytale book included, he walked back downstairs. Where he found his two mothers waiting for him by the front door.
They took Regina's car this time, as Regina wanted to drive and she refused to drive Emma's yellow bug. When they get to Snow's loft, Emma knocks on their door. Since it is the weekend, David answered the door. "Hi, you better come in. We remember who cast the curse." Said David as he ushered the three of them into the apartment.
"We have something to tell you as well." Said Emma as they entered. They gathered in the lounge room area, where Snow was relaxing on one of the lounge chairs.
"If it is to say that you two are together and you broke the curse. Then don't bother we already knew that." Said Snow sarcastically, one hand was resting on her rounded abdomen protectively.
"First thing we need to put up the protection barrier before we get into the deep conversation stuff." Said Emma before Regina could retort with one of her witty banter one liners. Regina gave her a look as if to say; 'Why did you stop me?' Emma just gave her one of her signature smiles that has a tendency to disarm Regina in an instant.
"Alright to put up the magical blood magic barrier, you need to cut your palms with the dagger I gave back to you. Then hold your arms out like this…(Regina holds her arms out in front of her.)" explained Regina as she shot her magic out in a blast.
"Like this? (Emma does as Regina told her to do.)" said Emma following Regina's lead.
"Yes, now as you send your magic out in a blast; think of who you want to protect." Explained Regina, as she does as she instructed. Just without her blood magic as that would be counterproductive to keep Zelena out of the loft. When they finish with the protection barrier spell, they sit down on the lounge next to each other.
"Alright now that you have that out of the way, what did you need to tell us?" asked David, wanting to get right to the point of their visit.
"My sister Zelena has challenged me to a formal magical duel tomorrow at noon, at the clocktower on Main Street. It would be best for you, Henry and Snow to stay here where you will be protected by Emma's blood magic and our combined magic protection barrier. I know I can't make you stay out of this. But I do express my concern for your safety and for that of your unborn child, that if you recall Zelena wants to steal away from you to enact her time travel spell." Explained Regina, doing her best not to sound to much like her old evil mayor self.
"Okay, do you have a plan of action for the duel tomorrow?" asked Snow tiredly.
"Yes, I have a plan for handling the duel with Zelena. Now, you said you knew who cast the curse?" replied Regina.
"Yes, we do. I cast the curse." Replied Snow calmly.
"But how? You need to crush the heart of the person you love the most. And Dad is still alive. So how is that possible?" asked a very confused Emma.
"Well, I asked Regina to split my heart in two. Your father and I always thought and did things as one, so I knew it would work. So once Regina had split my heart, I crushed David's into the cauldron we brewed the dark curse in. Just as Regina was about to put David's half of my heart, Zelena then dropped the memory potion into the just activated curse. Told us that we wouldn't win and then she flew off on her broom. Once she left Regina quickly pushed the other half of my heart into David's chest. Which brought him back to life. Then naturally grumpy came running in shouting, "The curse is here!" like we didn't know that already…ugh." Explained Snow.
"Grumpy sure has a knack for stating the obvious." Said David, sniggering a little at the thought of the dwarf and his antics.
"You know, I always thought you two had half a brain. Now that you share a heart, you two are more nauseating than I thought." Said Regina not being able to resist the opportunity to speak her mind.
"Anyway, Regina and I need to head out. Henry is going to stay and hang out with you guys today and stay with the two of you during the battle tomorrow. I am entrusting you to keep each other safe. We need to make sure my little sibling gets to be born on time." Said Emma, prompting Regina to get up of the lounge. Henry waved goodbye to them both before Regina and Emma left the lodge together.
Regina and Emma then spent the rest of the day making other preparations for the battle the next day. Even going so far as to go to the small footbridge that goes between the two cliff edges separating certain parts of the woods and the large river bellow. Where Regina gave Emma some magic lessons so that she could learn proper control over her magic. Especially since she had two sets of magic flowing through her veins.
Regina's light and dark magic mixed with her own mix of light and dark magic. She almost fell to her death but she was able to save herself in the nick of time. The whole thing almost gave Regina a heart attack even without her heart in her chest. "I wanted you to fix the bridge, but I suppose what you did will do. You have so much potential Emma. You should learn to truly embrace your magic. Once this battle with my sister is all over, we should have regular magic lessons." Said Regina with a mix of pride and frustration.
"Yes, I would like that very much. I don't like always being on the backfoot all the time. I want to be able to fight like you can. Be able to protect you and Henry and everyone else whenever a new villain comes to town. I want to be a good partner for you. I know we share true love but we aren't full equals yet. But one day I will and then we will be truly one heart like my parents." Said Emma, with tears down her face.
"Oh Emma, you are my equal. You always have been. But I will work with you to help you come to believe that you are as well. How about we go get something to eat? I am sure you could probably go for a double bacon cheese burger about now am I right?" said Regina comfortingly.
"That does sound good." Responded a little less teary Emma. Regina pulled Emma into a warm embrace. Then engulfed the two of them in her signature magic, teleporting them both to Granny's diner. When Regina's magic dissipated, they took a seat in the nearest booth. Wanting as much privacy that you can get at Granny's.
Ruby cheerfully greeted them at their table. "Hey guys, what can I get you?" she said as she took a big whiff of both Regina and Emma. She could smell a difference to both of them. What the difference was, she had no idea but maybe with time she will figure it out.
"I will have the Double bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and sweet potato fires and a large hot chocolate with all the trimmings please." Ordered Emma.
"I will have the same please miss Lucas." Said Regina.
"Alright coming right up." Said Ruby jotting down their order. She smiles wide, then walk away to put their orders in.
"I have to admit I am a little nervous about tomorrow's duel with your sister. I am worried that it could go really bad. It is a fight to the death and all. I can't loose you. Not when I only just got to be with you. And Henry needs you to win this battle as well." Said Emma.
"I can't loose you or Henry either. But this battle needs to happen. If there was a way to defeat my sister without having to resort to fighting, I would try it. There is just no reasoning with her. But don't worry no one is going to die tomorrow. This is I can promise you." Said Regina determinedly.
"Well then tonight we should do something special, to give you a boost of confidence." Said Emma seductively. Regina smiled widely, liking where this was going. They eat their meals and consume their hot chocolates. Then they teleport back to Regina's manor. Once they reach Regina's bedroom, Regina pins Emma up against her bedroom door and kisses her passionately.
Emma eagerly returns the kiss, letting her emotions and hormones guide her. Their magic sparks together, encouraging them to kiss harder. Their hands to wander and moan with abandon. They make their way to the bed removing their clothes as they move, piece by piece. Until finally they reach the middle of the bed they are both gloriously naked and very much ready for each other.
With Emma on her back, Regina straddled her waist and pressed her wet and sensitive clit against Emma's. Then began a hard and fast rocking motion, while leaning forward and kissing wild and passionate. When they are both close to reaching their peak, they thrust their fingers in each other's wet and needy centres. Causing them to moan loudly from the pleasure they felt as Regina and Emma's magically charged fingers thrust in and out of the other's warm and pulsing cores.
"YES…UMMM…RIGHT THERE!...FASTER…MMM…UNNNG…OHHHH…FUCCCK!" they shouted at the same time, as they came harder than they have ever done before. When they finally come down from their mutual highs, Regina collapses onto Emma with shaky limbs. With Emma's help, she rolls off of Emma's body onto her back next to her. Emma moves so that she is on her side, pulling Regina as close to her as humanly possible. They fall asleep with love in their hearts and a desire to make each other strong enough to defeat Zelena in the battle the next day.
'Regina and Emma wake to find themselves in the Astral Plane once again. This time they awoke while in each other's arms. "Looks like we travelled to the Astral Plane again." Said Emma into Regina's ear as she continued to hold Regina close.
"I noticed. One of these days we should figure out why we keep returning here. But for now all I want to do is stay in your arms. Where I feel safe and loved." Replied Regina. As she snuggled in closer to Emma's body.
"Regina, is there a way to make your magic stronger?" asked Emma.
"There is yes, but all magic comes with a cost. Why do you ask?" answered Regina.
"Because I want to make sure you are strong enough to beat your sister. I mean your plan is good and all, but we need to be certain that you win. Otherwise she will get all the ingredients she needs for her spell and then you and I won't exist, Henry won't exist. And I refuse to let that happen." Explained Emma, sitting up with her back against the headboard of Regina's bed.
"Emma, you are letting the doubts in my heart get the better of you. I will win the fight. I promised you that remember?" responded Regina, taking Emma's hand in hers.
"I remember, I do. But there has to be a way to ensure that you will be the one to win. And since Zelena can't find us here. It is the perfect place to do it." said Emma while unconsciously sending some of her magic through their linked hands.
"Zelena not being able to find us here is definitely a good thing. Though I don't think we should be using our time her being focused on her. This place is ours. A place where we have no expectations, burdens or responsibilities to worry about. We can relax here guilt free. There is something I have been wondering about. How do you really feel about your parents having another child, one they can raise?" said Regina, wanting to change the topic.
"I am okay with it, there isn't much I can do about it. So they are replacing me with a new kid, nothing new in my life there. I don't know. I guess having this new kid will make them feel like actual parents or something? It doesn't matter, I have you and Henry. I don't need them to be like actual parents for me. It's whatever.
Anyway, you haven't said how you feel about having an older sister. I mean sure she is out to destroy you. But that is siblings for you. Maybe after you defeat her, we can help her find a path of redemption like you managed to find for yourself. Then you can get a piece of your family back. Just try not to kill her. But don't let her have a chance at killing you either." Said Emma, who was still infusing Regina with her magic without realising she was doing it.
"It would be nice to have a piece of my family back. Though Zelena will have to want to be redeemed. I will try my best not to kill her, but I can't make any promises. You know, you might be able to help her with her jealousy of a younger sibling. Since you are a fellow older sister. It is something we can work on later. And I think you might benefit from seeing Archie about your emotional issues. I know I have benefited from talking to him. Though I will never admit to that in the real world." Replied Regina as she conjured them some apple cider. As it seemed that this conversation is going they were going to need it.
"I know I will set up an appointment with him soon. I am worried that Henry might somehow convince my parents that he should be there for the battle. And with them being vulnerable at the moment they might just listen to his reasoning." Continued Emma. Taking one of the glasses of cider.
"Yes our son can be quite convincing when he wants to be. I remember once, when he was little he told me he wanted a brother or a sister. He almost had me convinced that if we wanted it bad enough we would just make it happen. That might work with other things in life but not that. Not since I took a potion that made me infertile. I wanted to show my mother that I was in control of my destiny, not her. And I was afraid she might have found a way to get them to do her bidding. I took the potion thinking this will show her…how wrong I was about that….that plan backfired on me." Said Regina.
"If having more children is something that you want, I am sure we could find a way to make it happen. One way or another. You know I would do anything for you Regina, even go so far as giving birth to as many children as you want. We could fill this whole house if you want…" said Emma lovingly.
After Emma had said that Regina pulled Emma into a heated kiss. Which Emma deepened. With the kiss, Emma transferred more of her light magic into Regina. giving Regina's light magic a serious boost. Causing them to begin to fade out of the astral plane.'
While they were in the astral plane, Emma's light magic had flowed into Regina. creating a bright white glow to surround the two women. Creating an invisible barrier around her.
