Regina and Emma went back to Regina's house. Regina asked Emma to drive. She was too distracted and went quiet again, she just stared out the window. It was starting to annoy Emma a knew that Regina had a lot on her plate right now; Emma just wished Regina would talk to her properly.
On the way home, they picked up Henry at the diner who had their dinner with him. He clambered into the car, a huge smile on his face. He liked seeing his moms work together and get along. He would never have thought he would get this lucky.
" Hey, mom's," He said joyfully. He put the bag of food he was carrying on the seat next to him. " So you got anything today." He asked excited to hear what they said.
"Hey kid, we know who trapped us but we have a lot of work to do before we sort this out" Emma admitted. She didn't say too much knowing it was Regina's place to talk to Henry about this. Regina hadn't seemed to realize that Henry had even got in the car. Emma and Henry started at the woman looking straight forward.
"She has been like this all day, she has hardly talked to me. It's been a hard day" Emma said sounding tired.
"Why what happened?" Henry asked wondering what would send his adopted mother into a mental trance. She usually only did this when something was getting to her. He would have to talk to her because he knew there was only so much opening up she would do with Emma. They got back to the house and ate whilst watching some tv show Henry had put on about a guy in a box flying around saving people. Emma who had never heard of it was asking a lot of questions.
"So the guy just takes people off the earth, they travel around in a time and space to save the universe together?" Emma asked the concept was strange to Emma.
"Not exactly, the guy is called the doctor, he's a time lord" Henry began but was interrupted by Emma.
"A time lord, where'd he get a title like that?" Emma asked even more confused.
"No, it's his alien race. The rest of them were killed in a time war against the Daleks." Henry continued to explain. Emma interrupted again.
"Oh, I know that one the robots with the plunger on the front," Emma said, happy that she knew something.
"Yep, So the Doctor and his Companion use the T.A.R.D.I.S to travel through time and space.
"What the hell, kind of name is that for a time machine, I'd go with something like time crasher or blue box," Emma said thinking she was being smart. Henry was getting annoyed with Emma's ignorance for one of his favorite tv shows. He was about to explain the name when he was interrupted by Regina.
"Time And Relative Dimensions In Space," The queen said not batting an eye.
" What?" Emma said more shocked that Regina was talking let alone about a TV show.
" T.A.R.D.I.S, it stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. The Doctor can regenerate, meaning if he dies, he can come back in a different body" Emma was going to interrupt Regina again but Regina held her finger up to stop her. Emma stayed quite, She just raised an Eyebrow." Yes, it's weird but it makes for good tv. He has people come aboard the T.A.R.D.I.S to keep him company. The companion on the screen" Regina said pointing to a blond lady on the screen. " That is Rose. She's one of the better ones. She is also known as the Bad Wolf... actually we are going to do a marathon. Whilst we are finding what we need. I could use a distraction" Regina finished looking at Emma who was shocked that she knew so much.
" Wow ok if it's ok with Henry that we borrow them," She said not wanting to not ask him.
"Why, there are Mom's DVD's?" Henry said confused. Emma looked at Regina, her jaw agape. Regina just looked away a little shy.
"Like I said Rose is one of the best ones," She said blushing a little. looking anywhere but at Emma and Henry.
"Regina do you have a crush on Rose?" Emma said taken back by this new information.
"I do not!" Regina insisted unable to hide the fact her face was turning redder with embarrassment.
" Why are you being so shy, I didn't think she was a thing you did," Emma said laughing a little at Regina. She thought that it made her look adorable. That thought shook her a little. She brushed it off quickly.
"I am not being shy! I just think that her character is quite nice" Regina put bluntly. Emma mock agreed by nodding her head.
" Quite nice," She said before turning back to the Tv show. She was starting to get into it now. The Doctor, who was wearing converse, a long brown coat with a pinstriped suit was holding onto a weird magnet that was attached manually to the wall. He and Rose were being pulled back by heavy win created by a portal.
Emma was hooked knowing something was about to happen as the people robots and Daleks fly towards the impossible happened and the shied starts to shut down. Rose being the character, Emma thought she was, went to pull it back. She started off well, Thirty seconds later Rose had one fingertip on the let go and few backward being caught by who Emma remembered to be Rose's father. Watch transfix to see what he did to save her. By the end of the scene, Emma was in tears, Henry and Regina had been watching as well and hadn't noticed the blond blubbering until the episode ended. Regina looked at her watch to see the time and saw it was eleven.
"Ok Henry time for bed. Go get ready I will be up in a second" Regina told her son. He smiled at her tiredly then stood up. He hugged both of his Mom's goodnight and went to bed. Regina started to tidy up when she heard a whimpering sound. She looked at Emma and realized her eyes where red.
"Whats wrong?" Regina said concerned, she went over to the blond and sat next to her. She put an arm around her. Emma was a little embarrassed to admit why she was crying. She tried to calm down. She couldn't work out why it had gotten to her so much. She didn't even know the characters but something had just made her cry.
"Do you want to go outside for some air.?" Regina asked her. Emma nodded. Regina stood up and straightened her skirt. She held her hand out for Emma to encourage her to follow her. Emma grabbed onto her hand and slowly stood up. She used her free hand to wipe her face. Regina handed her a tissue she got with magic. Emma smiled gratefully, through teary eyes at Regina who smiled back kindly.
"Come with me," Regina said leading Emma by the hand and lead her to the back door. She opened the door to the backyard. The cool breeze hit the pair. Emma made a sound of relief, she hadn't realized how hot she had gotten. She released Regina's hand, hers feeling a little empty after but she didn't dwell on it. Regina walked them outside a little further. The got to Regina's apple tree. They both sat down on the bench.
"Here will do, what's up Swan?" Regina said concerned for Emma.
"It's going to sound stupid," Emma said not used to crying at a tv show. She had invested herself so much into the characters that she got upset when they were split up. Something struck a cord when she watched that scene.
"Emma?" Regina said softly not wanting to stress the blond further.
"It was something about that tv show" Emma admitted knowing Regina wouldn't give in until she knew what was going on with her.
"The TV show?" Regina said smirking a little, she didn't want to laugh but picturing the Saviour crying and Doomsday was just too much for her."Sorry Emma, I just didn't expect you of all people to react like this" She said grabbing Emma who had tried to run away.
" Well I don't know what happened I've never reacted like this before to any tv fact, I have only ever cried at Lion king until now." Emma said trying to work out why she got so upset.
"Well if it makes you feel any better. That was the first episode I watched the tv show and Henry and I cried too, still chokes me even now. We have been obsessed with it since. We bought most of the series." Regina said. She laughed a little. Emma smiled at her.
"Really?" Emma asked she couldn't picture Regina crying at anything like that. Henry, of course, he was a big softie but She didn't think the brunette would become so emotional over a fictional show."Does he find her?" Emma asked curiously.
"Spoiler's Sweetie," Regina said smiling at her. " You have to watch and find out," Regina said not wanting to give anything away. Emma huffed but smiled at Regina.
"I never thought we would be like this" Emma said out of nowhere. It shook Regina a little but she recovered fast.
"What do you mean?" She asked confused with Emma's sudden change in conversation.
"Well, when I first got here we hated each other so much that I took a chainsaw to your apple tree. Now we are stood next to it drinking cider and talking out our son and binge watching tv shows together. I just didn't think we would be this close is all." Emma said the thought stuck with her. Since Emma had looked after Regina and Henry, she felt closer to the brunette.
"Yes I suppose, It is quite strange but I have to say my first impression of you was wrong. It just took me too long to realize that we could both be Henry's mum. Now I'm glad I have you because you let me become a better person rather than push me away. You Mother had tried to befriend me before but I remember thinking that I didn't need friends, especially her" Regina said." I regret that decision but I knew mother would use her against me anyway. I could never escape that horrible woman so isolated myself from anyone I cared about. After a while everyone stopped caring about me. So I decided I would make them feel just as misrable as she made me feel and well, you know how all that ended" Regina was becoming upset having brought up emotions she tended to fight back.
"Well, you have us now. I'm not going anywhere Regina you don't have to worry about me and Henry." Emma said. Regina nodded a tear escaped her eye and fell down her cheek. Emma instinctively held Regina's face still with her hand and used her thumb to wipe it away.
She let her hand linger there a few seconds longer than she should. The two women were staring into each other's eye. Neither could look away. It was like something had locked their gaze on each other. Regina lent her face into Emma's palm. Emma pulled her into to her by her waist so she was against her. Emma put her arms around Regina's form. She hoped her hug would help her calm down. Surprisingly Regina put her arms around Emma's shoulders and hugged her back tightly. She was still sniffing a little and Emma could feel the tears through her t-shirt.
Emma couldn't help but notice how nice it felt to hold Regina. She never thought about it before, but she always enjoyed having Regina close. It was like they were stronger together. Emma felt her heart beating a little to fast. She was taken back by her reaction but was slowly coming to terms with what was happening to her. Whenever something happened Regina was there to help her. She had changed so much in the last couple of years that Emma found herself becoming more and more comfortable around the Mayor of Storybrooke. After a while, Regina pulled away a little so she could see Emma's face.
"Sorry, I'll sort myself out now, I doubt you want me ruining your t-shirt," Regina said trying to pull away from Emma. Clearly, the brunette had felt something too. The look on her face as she looked at Emma gave her away. Her eyes still red from crying were staring directly at the blonds. Emma could see it in her eyes. Something in that moment had changed them. There was a boundary just crosses and Emma didn't want to go back. So before Regina could say anything else. Emma put her hands on either side of Regina's face and used her own to silently ask for permission. Regina just smiled shyly breaking eye contact. Emma just lets out a soft laugh and Regina looked back at her.
"You are adorable." Emma unintentionally voiced. Regina smiled at her then pulled the blond closer to her. The tips of their noses touched as the took one last look in each other's eyes before taking a leap of faith. Emma was first to make her move unable to hold back any longer. She touched her lips to Regina's who instantly kissed her back. They kept it soft neither one wanting to push the other one too far. They both still had doubts about being together but they were slowly disappearing as their kiss grew more confident. Emma pulled Regina tighter to her as Regina moved her hand to Emma's hair. Regina opened her mouth a little to let Emma's tongue past her lips. They stayed like that longer than either one realized. After a while, Regina pulled away sharply.
"What are we going to tell Henry, What are we going to tell your parents?" She asked a little petrified of having to tell their son they were dating but she was even more terrified of telling Emma's parents, who she had spent most of her life trying to make miserable, that she was going out with there daughter
"I think Henry will be fine with it. In fact, I think it's going to be his new favorite fairy tale." Emma said grinning at Regina. As for my parent's I don't care what they think because there's nothing they could do to stop us being together. I mean we both would kick there ass for a start and what we have is just as real as what they feel for each other. It's just ours has a better twist." Emma said knowing Regina would know what she meant. Considering they both met because Regina had cast a curse on Emma's parents. Then Regina ended up adopting the Saviors child, who brought Emma back to see her off and now they were stood outside kissing.
"It sure does, want to go back inside and watch some more Doctor who?" Regina asked. What she meant was do you want to cuddle on the couch. Emma in reply Kissed Regina lightly and led them back inside.
AN: Important. Please comment if you think making this crossover with Doctor who would be ok or too much. Should just carry on just doing a Ouat through out or mush um together? Please leave your polite opinion. ( I said polite!)
