Meet Me on the Inside
Chapter Ten: An Epilogue
There were still some things to wrap up before Emma and Regina could embark upon their new found relationship. Firstly, Regina had to get all her money back from Snow who had taken to spending it on birdhouses. "And how are you going to do that?" Emma asked when Regina had informed her. "The money's already invested, the company exists, and it's about to ship stock."
Regina let a devious smile curl up her lips as a fireball flared to life in the palm of her hand. "Insurance. It turns out birdhouses are quite susceptible to fire." And once the company building and all it's stock had been mysteriously burned down and Regina had collected the insurance money, she was almost entirely back to the full amount of money she had started with. Minus a couple thousand.
Nothing that enslaving Snow in her basement and making her mass produce birdhouses until she made back the amount she owed to Regina couldn't fix. Emma wasn't as keen to that idea. "What about I sleep off my mother's debt to you? I could make you come a few thousand times."
"Don't be ridiculous. Don't sell yourself cheap. I'll sleep with you for free," Regina said, leaning in to prove this point. The kiss was soft and languid and Emma poofed the both of them away to the bedroom, hovering on her arms over Regina's form. Normally Regina would have fought for dominance over Emma, but the blonde's kisses were toe curling good and they sent fuzzy feelings through Regina's stomach. She couldn't stop from wrapping her legs around Emma's back and pulling her in close enough to roll her hips into Emma's lean stomach.
It wasn't long before all their clothes had been taken off and their bodies were twisting back and forth in ecstasy, Emma and Regina cumming seconds after the other. Sated, they lounged under the covers, snuggled up to each other.
They were dating now, which lead to the second thing on the list: telling the whole town they were together.
And third, was still getting revenge on Zelena for her meddlesome ways. If only Regina could find her...
Emma was the first one to break the comfortable silence over them. "You know, I'm kind of happy that this whole body switch occurred. If it hadn't, we wouldn't have been able to get together."
"You only say that because you didn't have to inhabit the body of a smelly pirate," Regina wrinkled up her nose.
"But you got to learn something about him and your own body in the process?" Emma suggested hopefully, ever looking for silver linings in disparaging issues.
"I learned too many things about him. Did you know that he's in love with his ship?"
Emma did a double take at this. "What? You're kidding!"
"No I'm serious. I tried to book a session with Archie and he started talking about how he was proud of all of Hook's progress."
"Why was he in love with his ship?" Emma look stunned by this information.
"I don't know why he loved his ship, but Hook felt like he was cheating on you with his ship so that's why he was at therapy." Regina turned in to Emma, kissing her lightly under her jaw. "Honestly, I cannot believe how you fell for a man who would give oral to his steering wheel."
Emma clamped her hands over her ears. "I don't want to hear any more of this!" She let out a groan as something connected in her head. "No wonder his tongue always felt so rough. It's because it was cut up by splinters."
Regina grinned in amusement at that and pulled Emma closer to her so that they could cuddle before going to sleep. It was night outside, the sky lit up by stars that shone brightly over their house. As they started to drift off to sleep, Emma sleepily mumbled out, "Despite how long we've known each other there are so many things I don't know about you yet; so many more things I want to know about you. I hope we can get to know each other better-sorta like a chance to truly live a day in each others shoes."
Regina tightened her hold on Emma, eyes closed. She would like to know Emma better too. She felt like there was so much more she could learn about the woman."I feel the same way. But we have all the time in the world. We don't need to rush it."
"I wish..." Emma trailed off, gone to dreamland already, Regina following soon after. Unbeknownst to the both of them, a shooting star had fallen over the house.
That morning Regina woke up, spitting out long strands of blonde hair from her mouth. "Ugh, Emma, you need to tame your hair," she complained, eyes half open as she turned around to get more comfortable. But her own words paused her. Her voice...sounded a lot like...Emma's?
She sat up, heart pounding in her chest and looked down at her body. Pale skin, long limbs, and lifting up her tank top, yup, a six back that had not been there before.
In panic she turned to where Emma should be sleeping, only to find Regina's body there. She roughly jabbed her in the ribs.
"Wha?" Regina's body blared out.
"Emma!" Regina hissed, already knowing all too well what had happened.
Emma sat up, rubbing her eyes and when she saw her own body in front of her, her eyes and jaw fell right open. "You-me, what?"
"You made us switch bodies!"
"Oh come on! Why is something bad always my fault!?" Emma threw up her hands.
Regina sighed out and shook her head. Not another body switch.
Not again.
A/N: This is the end of this story. Thanks for sticking along for the ride. I may or may not make a sequel with Regina and Emma body switched. It just depends on my muse.
