This chapter is for amywood.581 with the prompt: "How about one of them having a teddy bear or some toy from when they were small and the other finds out about it?"
Prepare yourselves for some extreme fluff.
"I think that's the last box," Emma said. She set it down on the floor of Regina's bedroom before smiling at her girlfriend.
Regina laughed. "And now you get to unpack all of those."
"You're helping!" Emma said. "Otherwise I'll just start putting my stuff in random places."
Regina's eyes widened. "You wouldn't."
Emma smirked before reaching into the box in front of her. She pulled out a pile of pants before going over to Regina's dresser and pulling open a random drawer.
"Okay, okay, stop!" Regina said, jumping up from the bed. "I'll help."
Emma laughed. "That's what I thought."
Regina stuck her tongue out at Emma before grabbing a box and setting it on the bed. "Not that box," Emma said quickly, grabbing it away from her. "I'll take care of this one."
Regina looked at her skeptically. "What's in that box that I can't see?"
"Nothing," Emma said. She put the box off to the side to deal with later.
"Emma," Regina said. "What's in the box?"
"It's embarrassing," Emma whined. "You'll think that I'm childish."
"Try me," Regina challenged.
Emma smiled before grabbing the box and setting it on the bed. She opened it and took out a couple of blankets before pulling out a teddy bear. The teddy bear was all brown with a little red ribbon around his neck, and had the classic bead eyes and little smile.
"This is Blaz," Emma said softly.
"Blaz? What does that mean?" Regina asked.
"It's a German name meaning unwavering protector," Emma said softly.
"Unwavering protector?" Regina asked.
Emma smiled at the bear. "Yeah. I got him at one of my foster homes. The family said that even though they couldn't keep me, they wanted to give me someone who would always be with me. So I named him Blaz."
"That's adorable," Regina said. "Why didn't you want me to see him?"
Emma shrugged. "It seemed embarrassing. Not many grown women have a teddy bear."
"Not many grown women had to go through as many foster homes as you did," Regina countered.
"Touché," Emma said. She kissed the top of Blaz's head before setting him on the dresser. "Is it okay if I put him here?"
"You can put him wherever you want to," Regina said.
"But I thought that you had a specific place in your room for everything?" Emma asked.
"I had a bear like Blaz once," Regina said. "I had to hide him from my mother. She thought that having a comfort object was for weak children. Having Blaz in the room will be a nice reminder."
"A reminder of what?" Emma asked.
Regina walked over and wrapped her arms around Emma's waist, pulling her close. "That I can have comfort without having to feel weak. Blaz can be wherever he wants to be."
Emma smiled before kissing Regina gently. "I love that you used to have a bear. And I love that you feel comfort now. And I love you."
"There was a lot of love in that sentence," Regina said.
Emma smiled. "There's always a lot of love when I'm around you."
"Oh goodness gracious that was cheesy," Regina teased.
Emma just laughed before kissing her again. "Come on. We have a lot of boxes to unpack."
This one was short, but cute. Hope you enjoyed it!
