Chapter 10

Two months seemingly passed in a blink of an eye. Regina cradled Henry against her shoulder, as she supervised the crew of workers rushing around the back yard, setting up tables and chairs, preparing the yard for the party Regina was throwing in a few hours. The DJ was setting up his equipment in the corner as the caterers hurried in and out of the kitchen, preparing the food to be served in a few hours.

"I still can't believe you invited these people to your house." Ruby said, as she made faces at Henry over Regina's shoulder. "You do remember they left the Pack, right?"

"Yes, I remember." Regina said, rolling her eyes. "But at one point, they were part of our Pack. My father threw a party when I was born, I want that same luxury." Regina said.

"Whatever you say, Regina." Ruby smiled, reaching for Henry. "Now, are you going to give me my Nephew, or do I have to pry him from your arms?" Ruby laughed, as Regina passed a sleepy Henry to Ruby.

Within the next hour, the backyard was filled with fifty or more people, all milling around talking amongst themselves, enjoying the party. Regina made her rounds, greeting their guests, encouraging them to help themselves to the appetizers and drinks, while Emma sat at the head table with Ruby and Granny, Henry being passed between the two other women.

"Regina, it appears that a bomb has just gone off in your son's diaper." Ruby laughed, a disgusted look on her face, as she passed Henry back to Regina.

"I'll take care of it." Regina laughed, as she cuddled Henry in her arms. "When I get back I think I'll make my speech." Regina added, as she disappeared into the house to change Henry's diaper.

"May I have your attention please!" Regina shouted, as the DJ turned the music off suddenly. Regina was standing next to Emma at the head table, Henry squirming around in her arms, Ruby and Granny seated next to Emma. "I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for coming today. I know many of you have not been a part of this Pack for quite a while, and I am honored that you have chosen to attend today. I have two very big announcements today. The first, I would like to introduce my Wife, Emma Swan-Mills, as well as introduce our newborn son, and my Heir, Henry Daniel Swan-Mills." Regina said, pausing as the crowd of people clapped and welcomed Emma and Henry. "The second announcement is one that affects many of you. I know many of you were forced to leave the Pack due to a decree made by my father, many years ago, before many of us were even born. The decree forbids any Wolf to remain a member of the Pack if they chose to spend their lives with Humans. It destroyed the Pack, in my opinion, and forced most of you to choose between Love and Family. I am here to formally announce that, as of today, I repeal that decree. If you are a Wolf who has chosen to spend their lives with a Human, I officially welcome you back to the Pack, if you choose. If you are a child of a Wolf, just because you do not shift during the full moon, you still have Wolf blood in your veins, I welcome you into the Pack. If you have chosen to spend your life with a Wolf, even if no Wolf blood flows in your veins, I consider you part of our Family and I welcome you into the Pack. To those who wish to return, know the doors are always open, and you are always welcome! Let's begin to rebuild what we have lost over the years!" Regina said, as many of the younger attendees clapped and cheered. "Now, let's share a meal together! And celebrate this time of change!" Regina concluded, motioning towards the many tables of food, the buffet open. Regina sat back down and watched as people made their way over to the food, waiting for most of the guests to grab a plate before making her own way over, preparing a plate for herself and Emma, making sure Emma had plenty to eat.

A few hours later, Regina was enjoying the afternoon, never leaving Emma's side after her initial welcome rounds, making sure to take Henry when he needed a diaper change or Emma needed to eat.

"Excuse me, Madam Alpha?" A young man asked, grabbing Regina's attention.

"David? David Nolan? I haven't seen you in YEARS!" Regina said, standing to hug David. "And none of this "Madam Alpha" BS. Call me Regina!"

"Regina." David smiled. "You remember Mary Margaret." David gestured towards the quiet woman to his side.

"Yes of course! It's good to see you as well!" Regina said. "I apologize for being so rude." Regina said, turning towards Emma. "This is my Wife, Emma. And this little munchkin is our son, Henry." Regina smiled, cupping Henry's head, rubbing her thumb against his dark hair.

"We came to extend our congratulations." Mary Margaret smiled.

"And also, we wanted to ask about your offer to rejoin the Pack." David asked, eyes nervous.

"It would be an honor to have you both rejoin the Pack." Regina smiled. "When you are ready, I would like to have a ceremony to formally welcome you both into the Pack, preferably before Wolf's Time." Regina said.

"I'd like that." David said. "Right now we live about an hour away. We were thinking of moving back here. We both grew up in Storybrooke, and really only left because of your father's decree. If you could keep an eye out for anyplace hiring, we would appreciate it."

"Well, as we have it, there is an opening in the Sheriff's Department. Emma is the current Deputy, and she's going to be out on maternity leave for a while longer. And I'm sure Graham wouldn't mind another set of hands once Emma comes back." Regina said, with a smile.

"Are you serious? That would be great!" David said, clearly excited.

"Call me Monday morning, and we'll talk more about the position." Regina said, patting David's arm.

"Uh…one more thing…" Mary Margret started to stutter. "I don't know how it works…with shifting after having a baby…but I'd like to offer my services for babysitting during Wolf's Time."

"Right now, I don't shift while I'm healing and recovering. But I will eventually shift again." Emma said, entering the conversation. "That would definitely take some of the stress off of us, knowing we have someone to watch Henry. Especially since we don't know when I'll start shifting again."

"Thank you." Regina smiled.

"Of course. It's the least I can do." Mary Margaret said. "Plus, David is always out running around during Wolf's Time, and it's only me on those nights."

"Thank you. We really appreciate that." Emma said.

"It's my pleasure!" Mary Margaret said, blushing slightly.

"Well, we'll let you get back to your family." David said, lightly draping his arm around his Wife. "I'll call you on Monday to discuss the Deputy position."

"I look forward to your call." Regina said, sitting back down next to her Wife, grabbing Henry from her arms, kissing his little face.

By the end of the day, everything was exhausted, and poor little Henry was cranky from being passed between the four women, Regina too protective to allow anyone other than herself, Emma, Ruby and Granny hold him. With everything cleaned and packed up, the tables and chairs scheduled to be picked up the following afternoon, Regina and Emma retreated to bed. Emma nursed Henry quietly, her head on Regina's shoulder, while Regina rubbed Henry's feet, watching as he slowly fell asleep.

"The party seemed to be a success. You already have one person coming back." Emma whispered.

"I would say so." Regina smiled. "After you went upstairs, a second person inquired about coming back. Archie Hopper. He was a couple years ahead of me in school. He's coming back too. He and David were close friends growing up, so they want to have their ceremony together."

"Regina, that's fabulous!" Emma said, trying not to wake the almost sleeping Henry.

"I know!" Regina said, as they watched Henry finally fall asleep, opening his mouth to release Emma's nipple. "I feel better now that people are welcome back to our Pack. I always hated that decree." Regina said, carefully grabbing Henry, siding off the bed to place him back into his bassinet, before switching off the light, crawling back into bed. Emma immediately curled up against her side, her head resting on Regina's chest.

"I still can't believe he's here." Emma whispered, in between yawns.

"I know. It feels like just yesterday he was rolling around inside you. Now he's here." Regina said, running her fingers through Emma's hair. "How are you doing with that? Are you feeling any postpartum symptoms?"

"I'm fine." Emma said.

"Are you really?" Regina asked, shifting to see her better.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I mean, sometimes I do miss him being inside me. But then I just remember how uncomfortable I was towards the end." Emma laughed. "I'm sorry you'll never get to experience that. The feeling of your child moving inside you." Emma said after a few moments of silence.

"Don't be. I'm not." Regina replied, kissing Emma's head. "I have you, and I have Henry. I don't need to physically give birth for Henry to feel like he's mine." Regina answered.

"He does look like you." Emma smiled, yawning again.

"He does." Regina laughed, as she felt Emma's body relax into hers.

A few moments later, they were both sound asleep.


Three more months passed in a blink of an eye, and suddenly Henry was almost six months old, each day growing closer and closer to learning how to crawl. It had been nearly impossible for Emma to part with Henry, spending most of her first day back to work in Regina's office, crying in Regina's arms, as she missed her baby boy so much. As the first week ended, it slowly became easier for Emma to part with Henry, and after three weeks she was able to fully return to work, no frantic calls to daycare asking for updates.

David had adjusted quickly to his new position as Deputy, and Mary Margaret took a teaching job at Storybrooke Elementary School, teaching fourth grade. They even found a small loft apartment within a few days of researching Storybrooke real estate, completely moving back to the small town within a few weeks of Regina's party. Archie, who had initially left the Pack when he was young with dreams of spending his life with a Human, admitted that the relationship eventually fizzled out, and she left him after a few years of being together. He was all too happy at the idea of moving back to Storybrooke like David and Mary Margaret, securing a small apartment attached to his office, and opening his own Psychiatric practice. All that was left was to perform the Pack ceremony, officially welcoming them back into the Pack.

About a week before the next Full Moon, Emma started to feel the familiar pull of the moon, a sensation every Wolf feels as the full moon approaches.

"I can feel it again." Emma smiled, as she laid in bed, a breast pump attached to her nipples, as Regina sat next to her, feeding Henry from a bottle.

"The moon?" Regina asked, shifting Henry to her shoulder to burp him.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to shift again next week." Emma said, unable to contain her excitement.

"That's wonderful!" Regina said, nudging Emma, as she returned the bottle to Henry's mouth. "I'll call Mary Margaret tomorrow, and have her come over to spend some time with Henry before Wolf's Time."

"I'm really excited to get back out into the forest! I didn't think I would miss it as much as I did." Emma said, shifting as the uncomfortable device continued to pump. "I will admit though, I'm going to miss cuddling up with my Wolf. The room always smelled like lilacs."

"You could still smell me even though you were still a Human?" Regina asked.

"Yeah. Not nearly as strong as when I'm a Wolf, or when I'm in heat. But it was there. It would cling to your skin for a little while after you shifted back too." Emma smiled, as she detached the pumps from her nipples.

They snuggled up together in bed a little while later, after Henry was tucked away in his crib in his room and Emma's milk was secured in the fridge downstairs, listening to the sound of Henry's tiny snores through the baby monitor.

"I liked cuddling up with you, as a Wolf. Even though I couldn't put my arms around you." Regina said, as she stared into Emma's green eyes. "Sometimes, when you were asleep, you would reach out and hold my paw. I don't think you were ever aware of it. I liked it!" Regina smiled, reaching for Emma's hand, intertwining their fingers. "But I like doing this more."

"Me too!" Emma whispered. They fell asleep shortly, their eyes fixed on each other as sleep overcame them.

A week later, they stood in the backyard, the sun low in the sky, but not quite setting, David, Mary Margaret and Archie standing in front of them, Ruby off to the side rocking a cranky Henry.

"There is a long held tradition in our Pack, to drink from the goblet that belonged to our founding father, as you accept the invitation from the current Alpha and Omega." Regina said, holding the goblet up for everyone to see. "Today we have the honor of welcoming not one, but two brothers back into the Pack." Regina smiled, as Emma poured the wine into the cup.

"Archibald Hopper, do you accept our invitation back into our Pack?" Regina asked, turning towards Archie.

"Yes, I accept the invitation." Archie said with a smile.

"David Nolan, do you accept our invitation back into our Pack?" Regina asked, turning towards David.

"Yes, I accept the invitation." David answered.

"Mary Margaret Nolan, do you accept our invitation to join our Pack?" Regina asked, startling Mary Margaret.

"Me? But I'm not…" Mary Margaret said, a little confused.

"You have chosen to spend your life with a Wolf, in our eyes, that makes you one of us." Regina smiled. "Once again, Mary Margaret Nolan, do you accept our invitation to join our Pack?"

"Y-Yes, I accept the invitation." Mary Margaret answered, a huge smile across her face.

"I, Regina Swan-Mills…" Regina said, holding the goblet up.

"I, Emma Swan-Mills…" Emma said, reaching out to hold the other side of the goblet.

"Officially welcome you to our Pack." They said in unison, as they handed the goblet to Archie.

They passed the goblet around as Archie, David and Mary Margaret took a sip, before returning it to Emma and Regina, both sipping as well, ending the small ceremony as the sun began to set.

"You two are welcome to run with us tonight." Regina said.

"Thanks, but we have our own plans." Archie said.

"We found the spot where our group used to shift when we were younger. We're going to go there." David explained. "We'll see you in the forest though." He added, making his way to his Wife, kissing her goodbye, before he and Archie left the backyard to get ready for Wolf's Night.

"We'll stay close tonight." Regina said, as they made their way back inside, making sure Henry and Mary Margaret were settled and had everything they needed for the night.

"Not necessary." Mary Margaret smiled. "It's your first run since having the baby. Run, have fun. We'll be just fine!"

"Thank you again. You have no idea how much we appreciate you watching Henry for us." Emma said, kissing Henry's head goodbye.

"It's my pleasure. Now go, before you're late!" Mary Margaret said.

They quickly made their way outside, meeting Ruby in the backyard, their blanket wrapped around them.

"Welcome back, ladies!" Ruby smiled, excited to have her two Best Friends back for Wolf's Time. "I sure as hell missed you guys!" She added, as they watched the sun quickly set.

"We missed you too." Emma said, as the sun completely set across the horizon.

Within a few seconds, three Wolves were crawling out from under their blankets, eager to start their night. Emma stretched her legs, taking a few tentative steps as she became reacquainted with her Wolf body, her excitement building as she began to dance around. Regina tilted her head in the air, and let out her usual howl, Ruby and Emma joining in a few seconds later. They paused, as they always do, listening for Granny, before they took off at top speed into the forest.

The feeling of the wind in her fur was exhilarating. Regina and Ruby struggled to keep up as Emma ran faster than she ever had in her entire life. She was the first to make hunt that night, catching not one, but two rabbits, sharing one with Regina, hardly being able to sit still long enough to eat before taking off once again, running through the forest she missed so much. By the time they made it back to the house they were all exhausted, barely making it under their blankets before passing out, as the sun rose quickly in the sky.

Emma was the first to wake up a few hours later, Regina's arms wrapped tightly around her, the faint smell of lilacs still clinging to her skin. She rolled over in Regina's arms and quickly wrapped her arms around her, as she watched her Wife sleep, a smile plastered across her face. She brushed her thumb across Regina's cheek, cupping her face gently, as she leaned in for a kiss, causing Regina to stir immediately at the introduction of Emma's lips.

"Good morning." Regina whispered, as her eyes fluttered open, being met with Emma's green ones.

"Morning." Emma said, her eyes fixed on Regina's. "Should we go relieve Mary Margaret? I'm sure Henry is probably awake by now."

"In a minute." Regina said, pulling the blanket over their heads. She slowly pulled Emma in for a sweet and passionate kiss, causing both of their hearts to beat rapidly against their chests. Emma ran her fingers through Regina's hair, as Regina brushed her fingers up and down Emma's back. Their legs shifted to tangle together, as their kiss grew deeper and more passionate, arousal building in their cores.

"You two better be behaving yourselves under that blanket." Ruby said suddenly, causing them to pull apart.

"Yes, Mom. " Emma laughed, the three of them sitting up, wrapping their blankets around their bodies, stretching as they worked up to starting their days.

"Damn, Emma. You kicked my ass last night." Ruby laughed as she yawned, stretching deeply.

"That's what not shifting for six months will do to you." Emma laughed, as they slowly stood up. "I'll try to take it easy on your guys tonight." She laughed as they made their way inside. Henry perked up when he saw the women walk into the back door, ignoring Mary Margaret as she tried to feed him the rest of his breakfast.

"How was your night?" Mary Margaret asked, as Emma and Regina made their way over to Henry to kiss him hello.

"Great." Emma smiled, as Henry went back to eating his breakfast. "How was our little Prince?"

"He was perfect. Went to sleep with no issues. Woke up once in the middle of the night, but went back to sleep right away." Mary Margaret said.

"Wonderful! Thank you, Mary Margaret." Regina said, as Ruby motioned she needed to get going. "We usually meet at Granny's for a post-run breakfast. You're welcome to join us if you'd like." She asked.

"Thank you, but I should get going. David will probably be home soon." Mary Margaret said, turning her attention to Henry in his highchair. "So I was thinking. Henry's all ready for daycare. I have to pass the building on my way home, I wouldn't mind dropping him off for the day on my way home. That way you guys can take your time in the morning, and not have to worry about keeping an eye on him while you get ready."

"We couldn't ask you to do that." Regina said. "You already do so much."

"I don't mind, really. I have to drive past the building on my way home anyway. I'll take Emma's car home, and send it with David when he goes to work, that way we don't need to worry about moving carseats." Mary Margaret said, as she picked the squirming Henry up out of his highchair.

"You don't mind?" Emma asked.

"Not at all." Mary Margaret said, turning towards Henry. "Say bye bye to your mommies." She said, causing Henry to babble something that almost resembled bye-bye.

"Bye Bye, my little Prince. Have a fun day!" Emma said, kissing Henry's head.

"Mama and Mommy Love You little Prince." Regina said, as she kissed Henry's head.

They followed Mary Margaret out, making sure she had everything Henry needed for daycare, and coordinated each other's keys before they made their way upstairs to take a shower. They listened carefully to the sound of Emma's yellow bug starting and backing out of the driveway before their lips were on each other's once again, continuing where they left off in the backyard. They made Love in the shower before getting ready for the day. Ruby giggled quietly when they finally made it to the diner, instinctually knowing why they were a little later than usual, knowing it didn't have anything to do with getting Henry ready for the day.


Time continued to pass far too quickly, as Henry's first birthday approached. Before they knew it, they were sitting together in the backyard, balloons scattered around, as Ruby carefully followed after their son as he crawled from one balloon to another, laughing each time Ruby flicked them away from him, Granny close by, snapping pictures. They had decided to have a small party for him, nothing fancy or over the top, just those who meant the most to them. Granny insisted on cooking, making an elaborate pasta dish to honor Henry's favorite food so far, making sure to save a large bowl of plain pasta for the Birthday Boy. Ruby attempted to make him a huge birthday cake, managing to only slightly over cook it. Henry smashed his cake as they sang Happy Birthday to him, offering his mothers each a handful of cake before shoveling the rest into his own mouth, clearly enjoying the cake made for him by Auntie Ruby. They let him crawl around the backyard for another hour after that, relieved that he burned off his excess energy before bedtime, going down without an issue, the excitement from the day tiring the little boy out.

"What's all this?" Emma asked, as she met Regina outside after putting Henry to bed, the baby monitor in her hand, the sound of Henry snoring softly coming from the speaker.

"Come here." Regina said, motioning for Emma to join her. She was seated on the ground, a small blanket laid under her, a small circle of candles lit around her, a small bottle of champagne resting off to the side with two champagne flutes. "I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate you." Regina said, as soon as Emma sat next to her on the blanket.

"You did this for me?" Emma asked, as Regina popped the bottle of champagne, handing Emma a glass.

"Of course I did." Regina smiled, as she kissed Emma sweetly. "One year ago today, in this very spot, I held you in my arms, as you brought our son into this world." Regina said, as they clinked their glasses, taking a sip of the sweet bubbly champagne. "I was so scared that night." Regina said after a few moments.

"Why?" Emma asked, reaching for her hand, lacing their fingers together.

"Because you were in so much pain. And there was nothing I could do to make you feel better. I just kept repeating in my head that I would do anything in the world to take away your pain." Regina said, a stray tear falling from her eye, as she remembered seeing Emma in so much pain.

"But you did help me." Emma said, wiping the tears from Regina's face. "Just knowing you were there, helped me stay calm. And as soon as you could, you were right there with your arms around me, and you never left my side until he was born. All I needed was you." Emma said, her own eyes filling with tears, as she leaned in to kiss Regina again.

"I um…I have something for you." Regina said, after they eventually parted from their kiss, reaching into her pocket to pull out a small white box, wrapped in a yellow ribbon.

"You didn't have to get me anything." Emma smiled, as she took the box from Regina, setting her empty champagne flute on the ground.

Inside the box was a small silver heart locket on a thin chain. Emma pulled it out of the box and carefully pried the sides apart. Inside, were two pictures, nestled in each side of the locket. The picture on the left was a picture of Henry during his first Christmas, dressed in his little teddy bear sweatshirt, his hood over his head, covering his eyes slightly, the little ears on top of his head, his face in mid laugh. It had been the first time he laughed so hard. A full belly laugh as they played peek-a-boo with him, each time they pulled the hood off him, he was greeted with a different silly face from both his mothers. The picture on the right was one taken by Ruby shortly after Henry was born. A very tiny Henry was asleep on Emma's chest, as Emma was curled up against Regina, her head against Regina's chest, as they napped together on the couch as a family.

"I Love it!" Emma said, her eyes filling with tears, as she handed the necklace to Regina, pulling her hair to the side so Regina could help her put the necklace on. "I love you so much, Regina." Emma said, kissing Regina deeply, one hand on the back of Regina's neck, the other clutching her locket.

Regina was awoken suddenly in the middle of the night, her heart pounding, Emma curled up next to her. Her first instinct was to check on Henry, afraid that something was wrong with their son was the cause of being woken so abruptly. Carefully sliding out of bed, she quickly made her way to Henry's room, only to find the young toddler sound asleep, his tiny hand clutching his favorite teddy bear for dear life. Assuming it was a sudden noise outside that woke her, she made her way back to her bedroom, eager to crawl back in bed with her Wife. As soon as she walked back into their bedroom, the faint smell of the forest filled her senses, creating a wide smile on her face. She inhaled deeply as she pulled Emma back into her arms, drifting back to sleep, her mind wandering to the fact that, after almost two years, Emma was in heat again.

Three weeks later, they sat across from each other in the kitchen having dinner, Henry in his highchair between them, slowly eating his pasta, while they struggled to keep their hands off each other.

"I smell lilacs." Emma smiled, winking at Regina.

"Really?" Regina asked, her eyes lighting up at the idea of mating with Emma soon.

"Yeah. I think it might happen tonight!" Emma said, excited. "We might have to bribe Henry to go to bed early." Emma winked, smiling at Henry, who was still focused on shoveling as much pasta in his mouth as he could.

A few hours later, Regina laid their sleeping son into his crib, making sure his teddy bear was within his reach, kissing him softly on the forehead before she silently slipped out of his room, closing the door quietly behind her. She made her way back to the bedroom, the smell of the forest pulling her towards her Wife, making sure the baby monitor was on and fully charged before walking into the room. In the short time that Regina had been gone to bring Henry into his room, Emma had lit about a dozen candles, turning off the lights so they were the only light source in the room. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, wringing her hands nervously as she waited for Regina to return.

"I…umm…I wanted to make it special." She said, rising from the bed when she heard Regina walk back in. "Since it's our first mate since Henry. Well since we conceived Henry actually."

"It's perfect." Regina smiled, moving to wrap her arms around Emma, pulling her in for a deep passionate kiss, slowly moving them towards the bed. "However, I am going to have to insist you remove your clothing, immediately, before I accidentally rip them." Regina smiled, as she placed the monitor on the nightstand, making sure the volume was all the way up.

They quickly pulled off their clothes, climbing in bed together, tossing the blankets to the side to keep from being restricted.

"Regina…" Emma moaned, as Regina began kissing her neck, quickly making her way down to Emma's breasts, sucking each nipple very gently, tasting the tiniest drop of her breast milk, before moving down her body towards her core, sucking her clit suddenly, causing Emma to moan louder. "Regina…I…I…I need you…" She moaned, as Regina licked the length of her core once more, before settling on her clit once more.

As Regina licked and sucked Emma's sensitive clit, she slowly inserted a finger into her soaking wet vagina, causing Emma to gasp, slowly adding a second finger. It only took a few minutes before Emma was tumbling over the edge, her body thrusting into Regina's fingers, her mouth struggling to keep contact with Emma's clit as her orgasm ripped through her. Emma's skin suddenly began to burn, as Regina felt her erection grow between her legs, signaling Emma's peak.

"Regina…" Emma struggled to say, still breathless. "I think it's time."

"It is!" Regina smiled, as she climbed back up, reaching into the nightstand, pulling out a box of condoms, ripping it open frantically. "We have to remember to change the condom each time we climax." Regina said, ripping the condom off the roll, her hands shaking a little, as she stumbled to rip the wrapper open, her nerves getting the best of her. "I'm…I'm sorry…" she stuttered, as she continued to struggle with the wrapper.

"Hey, It's ok." Emma said, gently pulling the condom from Regina's hand. "I got this one." She said, as she gently pushed Regina onto her back.

Emma causally ripped the package open with her teeth, pulling the condom out of it's wrapper, her eyes shifting down as she slowly unrolled the condom over Regina's penis. Her eyes locked onto Regina's as she moved to straddle her hips, slowly guiding the tip of Regina's penis into her vagina, settling down as Regina penis slowly slipped inside of her. They both gasped as Emma began to gently rock against Regina's penis, her hips matching Emma's rhythm, as they began to move faster and faster together. Regina's hands grazed up Emma's thighs, resting on her waist, holding her tight, as Emma continued to ride her. Their bodies once again became one, as their first shared orgasm ripped through them suddenly, filling the condom with Regina's semen.

"Condom…" Regina whispered, as Emma struggled to separate from Regina. Emma quickly pulled the condom off, tossing it on the floor, as Regina ripped a second one off the roll, handing it to Emma, who ripped the wrapper open, rolling the second condom onto Regina's penis, before returning to their previous position, instantly falling back into their original rhythm, Regina's hands returned to Emma's waist, holding her as they continued to move together.

Emma moved Regina's hands up to her breasts, urging her to gently play with them, as she reached forward to take Regina's nipples in her fingers, squeezing them lightly, as she continued to ride Regina, their second shared orgasm building quickly, ripping through them suddenly.

Emma quickly pulled the used condom off, tossing it on the ground to join the first one, as Regina handed her the third one, quickly unrolling it and moving back on top of Regina, who suddenly shot up, before Emma could settle back on top of her.

"You're too far away." Regina said, as she sat cross-legged under Emma. Emma settled back down, wrapping her legs around Regina, as they held each other, their lips drawn to each other instantly like magnets. Their eyes locked as they moved together, their hips rolling into each other, as their next orgasm began to build. They were still staring in each other's eyes as they climaxed together, working together quickly to change the condom, before resuming their position.

"I like this position…" Emma whispered, as she kissed Regina again, holding her tight, as their unique smell began to fill the air around them.

"Me too…" Regina whispered, as they felt their next shared orgasm rip through them suddenly, as their lips met in a crushingly passionate kiss.

"I have an idea…" Emma said, as she climbed off Regina's lap, pulling the used condom off, quickly replacing the condom, before moving to kneel on her hands and knees next to Regina, looking over her shoulder.

"Behind?" Regina asked, a bead of sweat dripping from her forehead. Emma nodded, as she arched her back to give Regina better access.

Regina quickly moved behind Emma, guiding her penis back inside her core, thrusting roughly into Emma, until her pelvis slammed into Emma's ass, causing a deep moan from Emma's throat.

"Harder!" Emma moaned, causing Regina to slam into her harder, slick dripping down both of their legs, as Regina's pelvis continued to make contact with Emma's ass.

Emma didn't move after the next orgasm ripped through them both, reaching behind her to hand Regina a new condom, as she felt Regina suddenly pull out from inside her. Before she could begin to catch her breath, Regina was slamming into her again, harder and faster than before, her fingers digging into Emma's waist. Regina could feel Emma's legs beginning to give out, as she continued to thrust into her, harder and faster, until their next orgasm shot through them, pulling out slowly.

"Lay on your back." Regina said, as she pulled the condom off, reaching for the new one Emma held out to her. "I need to be near you…" Regina said, as she unrolled the new condom over her shaft, settling in between Emma's legs, slowly sliding back into Emma's vagina. "I need to see you…" She said, as she began to thrust slowly.

As they grew closer and closer to the end, Emma barely noticed when Regina pulled away suddenly to replace the condom, before resuming their shared movements. As their final orgasm ripped through them, Regina reached between them, holding the base of her penis to prevent knotting, as the familiar blast of energy shot through them, causing their bodies to still, their shared scent disappearing, as Regina collapsed on top of Emma, their hearts pounding against each other's chest.

"I…I…" Regina tried to talk, her lungs struggling to catch her breath. "I made sure we didn't knot. Just in case Henry needs us." Regina said, as she moved to pull out of Emma.

"No…don't move." Emma said, stopping Regina from pulling out of her. "I like having you inside of me." Emma smiled.

They laid together in silence for a while, the light from the candles flickering in each other's eyes, as they dozed off wrapped in each other's arms. The sudden sound of Henry crying through the baby monitor pulled them from their post mating bubble.

"I'll go." Regina said, kissing Emma softly, as she pulled out from inside Emma. "Rest." She whispered, as she pulled on her robe, making her way to Henry's room. Emma listened for the sounds of Regina through the monitor.

"Hello, little Prince." Regina's voice whispered through the speaker. Emma smiled as she listened to her Wife talk to their son. "What's the matter? Did you lose Teddy?" She asked, as Henry babbled in agreement with the missing bear. "Here he is. He was just at the end of the crib. Should we give Teddy a little kiss before we go back to sleep?" Regina asked, making a loud kissy sound before handing the bear to Henry. "Good night, little Prince. Sleep well. We Love You, with all our hearts." She said, before leaning over to kiss Henry's forehead once more, as his eyes began to close again, making her way out of the room.

By the time she made it back to their room, Emma was asleep on the bed, in the same position she was when Regina left. She moved quietly, first cleaning up the mountain of used condoms and wrappers, securing the remaining unused ones back into the ripped box, tucking them back into the nightstand, before tossing the used ones in the bathroom garbage, making sure to tie each one closed to prevent leaking. She cleaned herself up a little, slick still coating her core and thighs, before making her way back into the room with a washcloth for Emma. She blew out the candles before sitting on the bed next to her Wife, waking her gently.

"Hey." Regina whispered, brushing her fingers over Emma's face gently. "Let me clean you up a little." She whispered, as Emma's eyes slowly opened.

"Was Henry ok?" Emma whispered, as Regina softly and gently wiped her thighs and core, being mindful of Emma's post-mating soreness.

"Yes. He lost Teddy." Regina whispered, kissing Emma softly on the cheek, before returning the washcloth to the bathroom, turning off the light, and crawling back in bed with Emma, pulling the covers over their naked bodies. Emma shifted into Regina's body, wrapping their arms around each other the moment Regina laid down, sharing one last kiss goodnight.

They were both sound asleep within minutes, grateful that Henry slept the rest of the night without needing to rescue Teddy again.

A/N: Well folks, we have reached the official half way point in the story. But rest assured, there are still so much more to go. The story if far from being over.
