Chapter Eighteen
The Beast had been quiet. Whether that was due to the painkillers or the pain itself, Emma was unsure but it was nice to not have to deal with it while she was recovering from an injury. That, along with Regina's love and nurturing, helped Emma to make a speedy recovery. She was already feeling like her old self. Not one hundred percent but she was almost there. She had a checkup that afternoon that would determine whether she could go back to work or not. She really hoped she would be cleared because she climbing the walls in that house.
Regina wouldn't let her work out or do anything strenuous and it was driving Emma insane. She respected that Regina was doing it for her own good but that didn't make her want to sit still. She was naturally active and always needed to be moving. She liked being taken care of by Regina but she was glad that they could get back to their lives soon. Her girlfriend hadn't been out with her friends or had them over the entire time, except for Monica who wouldn't stay very long, declaring that Emma needed rest. Emma knew that Regina missed having a life but she always put Emma first.
It was usually just the two of them and Emma liked it that way but she did worry that Regina felt isolated. She showed no signs of it but that didn't change the fact that Emma was concerned.
Not being able to move around much was probably also a part of the reason that the Beast wouldn't show up. It felt trapped as well which was good for Emma, Regina and every other living person on the planet. Maybe it would stay away for a while.
But in case it didn't, Emma decided to do something about it. Regina was currently in the backyard with the dogs. So Emma took that time to put her laptop to work. Emma sighed deeply as she opened up an incognito tab. She typed into the search bar: I dreamt that I killed my girlfriend. That search result deemed useless as she expected. Mostly disturbing things she didn't need to see. She shook her head and typed in something else. 'I'm afraid I might hurt my girlfriend'. Those results, of course, were unrelated to what Emma was going through. She tried something else.
'I have two people inside of me'.
That showed plenty of results. Thousands to be more specific. She saw things such as possession listed. She furrowed her brows. She wondered. Could she be possessed? That's possible. The evil things that the other side of her makes her do... She wouldn't be surprised. But she wanted to go a more logical route so she tried one last search.
"I am two different people."
That gave her far more reasonable results. She scrolled down to the articles that included multiple personalities. All she found were ways to treat it. Say, for instance, seeking help from a psychologist. That, she did not want to do. She didn't want to bring another person into this. That could put them in danger. She wasn't sure how the Beast would respond to being threatened.
Regina's laugh drifted into the dining room where she was seated and the way the joyful sound made Emma's heart squeeze and a smile to spread on her own face, drove her to her decision.
She started searching for specialists but before she could type it in, a voice caused her to jump.
"Hey."
Emma exhaled and turned to the doorway to find Regina leaned up against the frame with a small smile on her face. "Officer." She added with a wink.
Emma chuckled. "Hey, baby."
Regina's smile grew. "What are you doing?"
Emma shut her laptop. "Nothing." She said with a shrug and leaned back against the chair. When she received a raised brow from the dark-haired woman, she decided to go for humor. "Watching porn."
"Oh..." Regina laughed and crossed her arms over her chest. "Porn, huh?"
Emma nodded. "Yep."
Regina nodded in return. "Want to show me what you were watching?"
Emma's hand covered her laptop and she shook her head. "Nah."
Regina laughed again. "That bad, huh?"
Emma nodded. "Trashy but does it matter if I can Jack off to it?"
Regina shrugged. "Does it?"
Emma winced. She couldn't figure out where she messed up at but judging by Regina's tone, she had. "Um... are you mad?"
Regina shook her head with a raise of her shoulders. "I just don't know why you would need that when you have me right here. I will gladly show you whatever you like." She raised a finger. "And you get to touch. That's way better than porn."
Emma had to agree. "Totally."
"And I love you... That's an even bigger bonus."
Emma laughed. "You have a point, baby."
Regina nodded. "Of course I do." She unfolded her arms and began undoing her blouse. Emma sighed and shifted in her seat. Her heart began pounding in her chest. Regina pushed off of the frame and began walking into the room with an extra sway of her hips. Emma smirked and slid her chair out in order to make herself more accessible for whatever Regina needed her for.
Regina undid the blouse and let it flutter to the floor, leaving her in a nude-colored lace bra. Emma licked her lips and her mouth was suddenly dry. Her eyes traveled the smooth tan skin that was revealed to her.
Regina went to undo the zipper on her skirt but Emma stood, unable to sit still any longer. Regina's eyes widened with excitement as Emma made her way over to her.
"Let me." She said as she stepped closer, pressing her body against Regina's. Regina's hand came back around from where they were fiddling with the zipper and she reached up, placing each on a side of Emma's face. Emma didn't hesitate to find her lips in a kiss as her hands found Regina's ass. They slid down and squeezed eliciting a soft moan from the other woman.
Emma released her for a moment just to undo the zipper.
The skirt slipped to the floor. Emma's hands wandered Regina's back until she found the clasps of her bra which she undid effortlessly. She hooked her fingers under the straps and began pulling them down.
Regina broke the kiss and looked up into Emma's eyes. Emma was unsure of what she was going to do but she didn't go far. "Do we have time for this?" She whispered.
Emma chuckled. "You start this then worry about whether we have time?"
Regina shrugged. "Well, do we?"
Emma removed one hand from Regina's bra strap and glanced at her watch. "Yeah, we have about twenty minutes."
Regina nodded. "That should be enough." She let her hands fall from Emma's face so that the bra could slip down her arms and land on the floor.
Emma went to press her body against Regina's but a hand pressed to her chest stopped her. She looked down at the hand with the perfect manicured fingers then looked back up into the eyes of the woman she loved more anything. "What's wrong?" She asked, fearing Regina had changed her mind.
Simply smiling at her, the other woman's hand fell to her jeans button. It was undone and the zipper was pulled down almost skillfully. Emma reached for the bottom of her tee and pulled it up over her head. Regina examined her for a moment. The bruising was gone along with the pain and oh, Emma was grateful for that. She was left in her boxers and a sports bra. Regina's fingers danced delicately across the place where Emma had once been injured. She remembered of course since she had been icing it and treating it since Emma came home with her. Emma didn't know what she would do without her and she didn't understand how she had lived so long without her. She planned to show her that right now. Emma's hand found Regina's sex where she squeezed causing her girlfriend to gasp.
They both knew where this was going and they were going to follow it through. It had been so long since they've been together this way and they needed it.
Emma pecked Regina's lips. "I love you." She muttered against her mouth. Regina hummed as she slipped her arms around Emma's shoulders and she kissed her deeply.
Emma closed her eyes and inhaled Regina softly then exhaled. Regina smiled. "Are we going to..." She asked teasingly.
Emma laughed. "Yes." She reached up and ran her hands up Regina's arms to her hands. She then took them from around her shoulders. Regina didn't protest as Emma kissed her palms gently.
"Turn around for me," Emma said. Regina immediately did what was asked of her and turned so that her back as facing Emma.
She felt Emma's press against her. Her very prominent bulge was brushing her ass and she could tell that Emma was just about ready. Soft hands glided down her arms setting her on fire in their wake. Then Emma's lips were on her throat kissing gently down to her shoulders. By the time that Emma was kissing her way back upward to that little place behind her ear, she was positive that her panties were fairly damp.
She exhaled softly and Emma smiled against her flesh.
Regina could feel Emma hardening against her ass and she wasn't sure how much more she could take.
"Emma," she whispered. Emma hummed in reply. "Can you fuck me?"
The blonde woman chuckled. She could simply taste Regina a little longer but her girlfriend had been impatient since they began. She placed her hand in the center of Regina's back and pushed her down so that she was bent over the table. She pulled down the woman's panties and noticed that they were drenched. With a smirk, she then pushed one of her thighs upwards on to the table. She then squatted down. Just as she expected, the woman was soaked but she felt that she could get wetter before she was ready for her.
Regina squirmed with impatience. She had no idea what Emma was going to do but she needed something. She groaned in pleasant surprise when she felt Emma lick the length of her slit and continue up to her ass and in between. The brunette's eyes widened then. She wasn't expecting that.
"Fuck." She moaned. Emma chuckled and smacked one cheek firmly and then the other. She then returned to her clit where she took it into her mouth sucking and teasing it with her tongue. Regina's hips rolled. "Oh my god."
With Emma's mouth on her, doing those things to her like that, she felt that she could orgasm just like that but after a moment a finger was slid inside of her then Emma stopped suddenly. She didn't even get a chance to complain because Emma was standing behind her again. Emma pulled her boxer briefs down and her fully erect appendage sprung free. She gripped the base and brought it to Regina. Instead of entering her, she rubbed the head up and down her slit. Once it stroked her clit, Regina gasped and shuddered. Emma did this a few times receiving a similar reaction before deciding to put them both out of their misery. It has been so long and she was craving Regina.
She lined herself up and slowly began pushing inside. Regina hissed then moaned on the exhale and the sound was like music to Emma's ears. She pushed in deeply and paused, giving them both time to adjust. She could feel Regina gripping her just right.
She then slid out slowly then slid back inside. Regina moaned but didn't move. Emma slid out again, then slid back inside with a bit more force. Taking her time-time they didn't really have. She lifted her hand from where it was rested on Regina's lower back and checked her watch. They had only about twelve minutes. She was pretty sure that she could get them both off by then. She pulled out then slammed back inside and she heard a soft whimper. That indicated how Regina wanted it.
She did that a few more times before picking up the pace, thrusting harder and faster, deep. The pace she was going in left her very little control and the way that Regina was pulsating around her shaft and gripping her was sending her into a frenzy.
Regina's nails dug into the wood of the table. She didn't care if she damaged it. This was keeping her grounded while Emma fucked her so mercilessly. It had been so long since she's been stretched like this and she was loving every moment of it.
Emma growled low within her chest. She applied more pressure to Regina's back and began going harder, deeper and faster. She wanted to get Regina there first and she could feel her growing wetter as they went. The sound of their skin against each other filled her ears mingled with Regina's cries of pleasure. It all felt amazing and she could feel the beginnings of her own orgasm but she held it at bay, wanting Regina to go first as she always did. She looked down between them and watched herself slide inside and the way Regina's ass rippled when her groin would collide with her. A loud smack sound accompanied it and that was almost too much.
"Shit." She hissed. She's pretty sure they've never fucked this hard or this fast before. Then again, they've never raced against the clock before but that only added to the excitement.
She felt Regina's slick walls flutter around her and she knew what that meant. Her soft moans were coming out helpless and needy.
She knew that she could bring her to the edge in a matter of minutes at this point. She removed her hands from their original place and placed them on either side of Regina on the table. Then from that angle, she pushed in deeper with a bit more force. Regina hummed her approval.
Emma slid out only about halfway before pushing back in.
Regina loved this position. The closeness and tightness of it. Emma was fucking her thoroughly in the little bit of time she had. The power of Emma's strong, deep thrusts along with the smooth rhythm was driving her crazy and it only took a few more strokes before she was teetering on the edge.
Her walls contracted all around Emma's cock and locked on.
Emma hissed when Regina tightened around her, squeezing painfully. She had to stop for a moment because she couldn't move.
"You gonna let me go?" She asked teasingly.
Regina exhaled with a soft grunt and Emma felt her loosen the grip. with a breathless chuckle, Emma went back to work. Regina gripped her again but just as quickly she released her.
Regina felt the familiar tingle and pressure in her lower stomach and she knew what was happening. "Emma, I'm close."
Emma felt relief then. She was unsure how long she could hold it herself. She pushed in hard and deep then leaned over, hovering right above Regina's ear. "So, cum for me." She whispered.
That was what did it, Regina reached her climax right then. It was hard and she clamped down on Emma again. This one was powerful and Regina felt this in every inch of her and she lost complete control of her body.
Emma simply waited to be released and when she was freed, she began moving again allowing Regina to ride it out. She felt like she was going to explode and when she was positive that her girlfriend was done and the aftershocks had somewhat subsided, she leaned back and sat up straight. She pulled out slowly. Her cock was still soaked in Regina's warm juices and her shaft was throbbing in her hand, ready for release. This was it.
"Did you cum?" Regina asked breathlessly. Emma said nothing but slowly began stroking herself. She was right there and it didn't take much for her to release a white stream of hot cum all over Regina's ass. When Regina felt the fluids land on her ass and lower back, she chuckled. "Well, that answers my question."
Emma laughed. They finished just in time. "I didn't want to spoil the surprise." Regina put her leg back down on the floor and straightened up. "Let me wipe that off." She began looking for something to do just that. Regina turned around and smiled at her.
"Emma, do I seem like I mind being covered in your cum?" Regina asked with a raise of her brow. Emma grinned.
"No." Emma was still trying to catch her breath and judging by the rise and fall of Regina's chest, so was she. "You never do."
Regina laughed and shoved her shoulder. "Don't say it like that."
"Like what?"
Regina shrugged. "Like I'm this little kinky thing."
"But you are a kinky little thing, baby." Emma teased. Regina smirked.
She then bit her lip and looked up at Emma with a tilt of her head. The look was almost innocent. "I am, aren't I?"
Emma's fingers danced up Regina's side. "I love it."
Regina's smirk returned and she stalked closer to Emma and wrapped her arms, around her neck. She then planted a hot kiss on Emma's mouth. They both hummed. The blonde woman allowed herself to melt into it for a moment and her hands landed on her girlfriend's hips. She squeezed the warm flesh that had heated up with their activity as Regina deepened the kiss. She allowed it for a moment before she brought one hand up and peeked an eye open to glance at her watch. Her other eye opened.
She began untangling herself from her girlfriend and Regina frowned as Emma pulled away from her. Emma kissed the frown off her lips. "We have to go. We should get in the shower."
Regina pouted for a moment then nodded. "Fine. Come on." She started heading for the doorway on shaky legs. She stopped when she didn't hear Emma following her. She looked over her shoulder.
"I'm showering down here, alone," Emma said trying her damnedest not to look at her girlfriend's nude form. "You take the upstairs bathroom or the ensuite."
"Why?" Regina whined as she turned around.
Emma grinned and crossed her arms over her chest. "Because we have somewhere to be. Now off you go."
Regina wrinkled her nose then practically stomped out of the room. Emma smiled to herself. "I love you, baby girl!" She called after her.
There was a pause before Regina replied with a, "I love you too, Em."
Emma smiled to herself and walked out of the room as well.
Emma left Regina with Monica. Their friend had taken a break just to spend a little time with the couple. Well, that's what Regina thought but Emma knew that the partial reason of Monica meeting up with them was to ensure that Regina didn't body slam Emma's doctor.
Emma was thankful for that because she was a bit sore from their earlier activities. Sure she was healing but she hadn't gotten to stretch or exercise in weeks so she was a bit stiff. She wouldn't dare tell Regina that because she didn't want that 'I told you so' look that the woman often gave her.
Instead, she kept it to herself for now and she sure as hell did not regret what they had done. It was totally worth the pain.
Her eyes drifted over to Regina where she was leaning against the reception desk, chatting away with Monica and two nurses. The two women looked absolutely enthralled by Regina just as anyone else who had encountered the woman often was. Emma understood this. Regina had a certain charm that drew people in.
The younger of the two looked a bit attracted to Regina as she nodded, her eyes not leaving Regina as the woman spoke. A few months ago, that would have bothered Emma, maybe even made her a bit jealous but right now she didn't care. Regina was with her. They made each other happy and they were good to each other. She knew that Regina didn't desire anything else.
Emma leaned back in the hard plastic blue chair in the waiting room. She probably looked like a complete creep to anyone who didn't know her with the way she kept her eyes steady on her girlfriend. That gray pencil skirt and those gray pumps were distracting.
Regina looked very sophisticated as she usually did but there was just something about this look. Maybe it was because of the colors and she rarely saw Regina in light colors. She watched her dress before they left. She put on a lovely white gold necklace with a diamond-encrusted horse pendant. She also slid on a matching bracelet and earrings. It often worried Emma that Regina was usually out with some much expensive shit.
She's dealt with muggings all the time and sometimes it ended with the victim just losing their valuable things and sometimes it ended with them losing much more. That's why when Regina went out without her she always told her to be careful and checked in with her often. That put them both at ease.
Emma preferred to keep an eye on Regina at all times but she knew that that was unhealthy and it wasn't fair to Regina. She needed space. It was difficult without Regina though because she was her only friend other than Jason. So, Emma was often lonely without her and she did not want the Beast to keep her company.
As if sensing Emma staring, Regina glanced over her shoulder just as Emma's eyes wandered up from her legs. She had a feeling that she didn't appreciate those legs enough. Emma smiled sheepishly when she realized that she had been caught. Regina didn't seem fazed however and sent Emma a kiss then a wink before turning back to the other women.
Emma grinned at that.
Monica peeked around Regina and narrowed her eyes at Emma. Emma raised her brows in part question and part amusement. The doctor pursed her lips. "Excuse you."
Emma was still confused. "What?"
"So, you're too cool to hang out with us?" The woman demanded. Regina snorted and hit her friend's shoulder.
"Leave her alone. You're mean."
Monica rolled her eyes. "Stop treating Blondie like a baby. She can fight her own battles." She leaned over and started whispering loud enough for Emma to hear. "She thinks she's cooler than us because she gets to chase bad guys and have shootouts with bank robbers."
Emma snorted that time. "I have never done that in my entire career." She laughed out. That had become a thing with Monica, an inside joke between the three of them. Monica knew that Emma hadn't had a shootout yet in her career. "This isn't the wild west. What the hell."
Monica grinned, pleased with herself for making Emma laugh. "Whatever you say." She whispered to the nurses again. "She's so modest."
The women checked Emma out. Monica cleared her throat. "She's also Regina's girlfriend."
"Oh." Said the youngest nurse. She coughed awkwardly. "I didn't... they may be two of the most attractive women I've ever seen." She slapped her forehead. "I didn't mean to say that out loud. Crap."
Regina looked sympathetically at the girl. "It's fine." She said with a smile. "And thank you." She looked at Emma and they shared a smile.
"You have a point there. They are both gorgeous. Like, look at the bone structure on both of them, their hair, their eyes, lips. Good genes." She shook her head. "They're gonna make superhumans. Mark my words."
Regina snickered and hit Monica's arm. "Shut up. Oh my god." She said through a laugh.
Emma smiled a bit at the thought of them having children. It's not the first time it's crossed her mind but every time it did, it made her feel something. Having children was a bittersweet thought. She wanted children with Regina but she didn't want to pass down her illness or put their children in danger. She will see how she feels once the Beast is taken care of. It is still so early in their relationship.
The women began chatting away again. Emma zoned out at one point because as soon as it approached something that she had no interest or knowledge in, she stepped aside. Every now and then, Monica would give her a look and Emma would shrug, making her laugh.
A few more minutes passed before she was called. Her doctor stood there with her lab coat open revealing a skin-tight red dress that was completely inappropriate for work and red heels. Regina narrowed her eyes at her and Emma could have sworn that she saw a legit fire ignite in her dark eyes. Emma stood and held up a finger, telling the woman to give her a moment. She stopped at the desk where Regina was and the woman just gave her a look.
"I know," Emma said under her breath. "This is it. I don't ever have to see her again after this."
Regina still looked displeased so Emma leaned in and kissed her softly. When she pulled away, Regina placed her hands on her face and kissed her again.
"I love you," Emma whispered. Regina smiled.
"I love you."
Doctor Smith cleared her throat behind them. Regina looked around Emma and glared at the other woman. Emma sighed and wrapped her hands around Regina's wrist and pulled her hands away from her face. She kissed her palms. "I'll be right back." She muttered before kissing her again.
The doctor turned on her heel and began leading Emma down the hallway. Emma hadn't given her a second glance simply because she wasn't interested. For one, Emma wasn't attracted to her and secondly, Emma loved Regina and didn't need or want anything else. Also, she didn't like women who tried to ruin relationships. That really irked her.
They stopped at a room and the other woman stepped inside. Emma glanced at Regina who had her eyes on her the entire time, they shared a look then Emma stepped inside of the office and then Doctor Smith shut the door behind her.
Emma stood there awkwardly for a moment. She felt completely uncomfortable. She knew that something bad was going to happen but she didn't know what exactly.
"Why don't you have a seat, Emma?" The doctor instructed.
Emma hesitantly walked over to the table and hopped onto it. She missed the doctor's impressed look, at Emma's athleticism. She stood a few feet away from Emma and just stared at her for a moment. Emma's eyes darted towards the door and she wondered if this had been a bad idea.
"Oh, this is fun." Emma heard a voice whisper in her head. Her stomach dropped. It was back. The Beast.
"Fuck." She hissed. Not now. She had gotten so used to having a clear head but she felt the fog coming over her.
"If you insist." The Doctor said with a smirk.
Emma's eyes widened. "What?"
The woman shrugged. "I thought you were offering."
Emma wrinkled her nose. "Nah. I'm good. Can you just check me and give me the papers I need to go back to work?"
The doctor pouted and it was nowhere near as cute as it was when Regina did it. "You're being mean."
She was uncomfortable and she was getting frustrated because it was freeing the beast. "Look I want to leave so that my girl and I can grab lunch."
"Oh?" The woman purred. "You're taking her out to eat? Does she eat out though?"
Emma sighed. Well, no because Emma has a dick. "Our sex life is fantastic. Thanks for asking, doc. She's all I need."
The doctor looked disappointed and Emma thought for a moment that this woman was going to give up but she was so wrong. "How do you know that's what you want unless you sample everything?"
Emma sighed deeply. "If it's a blonde cop you want, there are tons of single ones out there."
"Are they as beautiful as you are?"
Emma shrugged. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
"So, do you think I'm beautiful."
"I think my girl is gorgeous."
"That's not what I asked."
Emma shrugged. "I didn't ask to be harassed and yet here we are."
"That's fair." She shrugged. "I just figured you and I have more in common. We both save people for a living. We get the hard shit. What does your girlfriend do?"
Emma raised a brow. "She's a super genius heiress. What do you mean?"
"Oh, privileged and spoiled." The woman concluded. "I thought you would want more."
Regina was the opposite of spoiled. Privileged, yes, but never spoiled. Emma was a little offended. "I have everything in her. What more would I want?"
"There's nothing wrong with having something on the side." The Beast whispered into Emma's ear.
"Fine." The Doctors said. "Whatever." She walked across the room and dropped Emma's file on the desk. She put on gloves this time and walked over to the examination table. "Lift your shirt."
Emma did what was asked of her. She could feel the woman's shift in mood. She didn't care, however. She was not going to cheat on Regina. It's not like she felt anything for any other woman. It was like Regina consumed all of her affection. She was fine with that though.
She lifted her shirt up to her chest. The woman's gaze lingered on her abs for a moment but just as quickly, she was professional again. She pressed against Emma's side. She didn't feel any pain.
"No pain, right?" She asked.
Emma shook her head. "Nope."
"Well the bruising is almost completely gone and you don't have any pain." The doctor muttered as she walked over to her desk. She sat and began filling out papers. Emma sat there and after a moment, she returned. She handed it over. "You're cleared to work."
"That's it?" Emma asked.
"You're fine."
"Great," Emma said and hopped down off the table. "Thanks." The doctor hummed but took a step closer to Emma. "What the.. what are you doing?"
"Relax." She whispered much too close for comfort. She could smell her perform. Heavy and overbearing like her personality. Emma felt something slide in her pocket. "My card. I put my personal cell on there."
"Uh..." Emma slipped over to the side and around the doctor that had her cornered. "Thanks again." She said as she backed towards the door. The woman stayed there watching her with that predatory gaze. "I'm gonna just..." Emma made a break for the door and slipped out of the room.
She stopped and placed her hand on the wall and the other on her chest. Her heart was racing and not in the exciting way it does with Regina. She was terrified and it felt like she was going to have a heart attack. She tried to inhale and exhale but she couldn't calm down. Not because of the doctor but because her actions awakened a part of Emma that had been dormant for weeks.
"You're making this hard on yourself." The Beast whispered. "Aren't you getting tired of the same old thing. I am."
Emma calmed her breathing. "I love Regina." She whispered. "I don't want anything else. Now fuck off."
There was a deep echoing laugh then the presence was gone. Emma breathed out a sigh of relief. She then began heading down the hallway again. She turned a corner and she saw Regina still standing by the desk, chatting with the nurses and Monica.
Emma walked up to her and placed a hand on her back. She kissed Regina's cheek. She just needed to touch her in order to tether her. The beast was going to strike and soon. It's had enough of being quiet.
Regina looked at her with a smile then it fell from her face when she saw the look on Emma's face. "Emma, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," Emma said with a shrug. "Why?"
"You look like you saw a ghost." Monica cut in.
Emma frowned. "I'm fine."
Regina didn't seem convinced. She could always read her. "Em-"
"Baby, I'm fine."
Regina looked at Monica. Her friend shook her head. "You look flushed. Let me..." She placed her hand on Emma's forehead. "She's a little warm." She put the back of her hand to Emma's cheek and neck. "Yeah and clammy. I can look at her before you go."
"Love," Regina sighed. "Maybe-"
"Look all I need is some food in me and some alone time with my girlfriend."
Regina looked anxious. She looked at Monica. Her friend sighed. "Maybe she needs some fresh air?"
Regina pursed her lips and just stared at Emma. "What did she do to you?"
"Regina-" Emma hung her head. "Let it go."
"Emma, I'm not kidding."
Emma felt so overwhelmed. The beast was closing in and Regina pressuring her wasn't helping. She felt like she couldn't breathe and she couldn't think. Her thoughts were moving faster than she could keep up. "Gina-"
"Emma, tell me what she did," Regina demanded and the woman's tone caused Emma to panic.
"Regina don't make a fucking scene!" Emma snapped. Regina's eyes widened and she looked wounded for a moment at Emma raising her voice at her and swearing.
"Shit, Emma," Monica muttered.
Emma instantly regretted it. She didn't mean to lash out at Regina of all people. "Hey, Regina, I'm sorry." She reached for Regina's hand, only for the woman to snatch it away.
"You haven't seen me make a scene, yet." Regina hissed. "Do you want me to show you what it's like when I make a scene?".
"Not really," Emma said gently. "I'm sorry. I'm frustrated and I shouldn't have taken it out on you."
"You're right. You shouldn't have." Regina said before storming off.
"Bye Regina." The nurses called softly. They looked sad to see her go.
"Good luck." Said the youngest of the two to Emma.
"She'll need more than luck," Monica muttered. "She needs a fucking miracle." She then ran after Regina who was heading for the elevator.
"How does she move so fast in those heels?" Emma grumbled before going after them. "Babe!" She tried as she caught up with them.
"Don't 'babe' me." Regina hissed as she spun on her. "I was worried because you looked like you weren't feeling well. You were fine before you went with her. Excuse me for caring. I can't help but worry about you. That's what a girlfriend does. That's what anyone does when they love someone. I show concern and get shouted at and told not to make a scene."
"That's not fair," Emma said softly. "I lost my temper. I'm a little cranky. I'm sorry."
"What's gotten you so cranky? We just had sex like an hour or two ago. You should be feeling great."
"I did but-"
"What happened between the time you left me and the time you came back to me?" Regina asked slowly. "You have one chance to answer or I'm giving you my car keys and Monica is driving me home."
Emma knew by Regina's tone that she meant it. She was pissed and for good reason. She's seen Regina angry before but it's never been directed at her and she didn't like it. She hesitated. "Well..."
"And tell the truth or when we get home, pack your stuff and I want you out."
Emma's eyes widened. "How am I supposed to tell you anything with you cutting me off?!" She didn't mean to raise her voice but Regina was being so mean and she didn't like it.
"Uh-uh," Monica said from behind them. Emma looked over at her and saw the woman shaking her head. The elevator dinged and people got off. Monica ushered them along.
When Emma looked back at her girlfriend she looked about ready to explode. She's never seen her like this and she didn't know how to fix it.
Emma exhaled. "The doctor was harassing me. Okay? She kept saying and doing things and it made me feel guilty because I'm yours."
"Are you attracted to her?" Regina asked darkly.
"No," Emma said quickly.
"Why not? She's pretty."
"Uh..." Emma's brows rose. "Wait, are you?"
"Don't play with me, Emma." Regina sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Then why did you get so defensive when I asked?"
Emma shook her head. "Because I knew it would upset you and I didn't want to upset you."
Regina raised a brow. "But you-"
"I'm sorry for raising my voice. I'm grumpy like I said."
"Why though?"
"I'm hungry," Emma answered off the bat. Regina accepted that because Emma did get grumpy when she didn't eat.
"Okay." Regina sighed and Emma could see her relax. "I'm sorry too."
Emma reached out and took Regina's hand. She pulled Regina against her and wrapped her arms around her. "It's okay. I love you so much."
Regina rested her head on Emma's shoulder. "I'm so sorry for the things I said. I wasn't going to put you out."
"Or make me drive home alone?"
"Oh I was going to do that"
Emma snorted. "Fuck. I love you." She kissed Regina's forehead. "Makeup sex?" She whispered.
"Of course but food first. We don't need another blow out like this."
Emma chuckled as Regina pulled out of her grasp. "Okay. Yeah. Can we stop at a burger place."
"Sure, just don't say-"
"McDonald's!"
Regina rolled her eyes. "That."
Emma grinned. "Please."
"You have food at home," Monica said teasingly. Emma made a face at her.
"Thank you for the crowd control," Regina said as she squeezed Monica's hand.
Monica shrugged. "Um... what kind of friend would I be if I just let people watch my friends have a fight at my work for their entertainment."
Regina and Emma both winced. "Sorry about that."
Monica sighed. "I'm just glad you guys are okay. I would hate for a beautiful relationship to end over something like that. Damn. That was intense." She shook her head.
"We're fine."
"Good. I love you guys so like... yeah."
Regina kissed Emma's cheek again. "We love you," Emma spoke. "Sorry about all this."
There was a ding signaling the arrival of the elevator. Emma pulled Regina inside. Monica didn't get in with them, however. "Coming in?" She asked.
Monica shook her head. "Nah. I'm going to tell the nurses that Emma survived and l made up. I'll see you guys later."
Emma chuckled. "Okay. See ya."
Regina gave her best friend a wave and just as the door closed, Monica saw Regina pressed her from against Emma's and kiss the woman deeply.
Monica shook her head with a fond smile. "Weirdos." She chuckled before heading back to work.
Thanks for reading!
I'm trying to push the story along with a little nudge at this point.
