Regina smiled as Emma walked into the kitchen. She had everything out and prepared, all that was left was the baking.

"What is all this?" Emma asked. "It looks like you're getting ready for some huge baking fest."

"No, we're getting ready for a huge baking fest," Regina said. "It's Christmas season, which means that we need to make the baking items."

"Like what?" Emma asked.

"Cookies," Regina said. "Lots and lots of cookies."

"You do realize that I'm not the best at cooking right?" Emma asked. "I can barely make toast. What makes you think that I'm going to be able to help you with making a bunch of cookies?"

"We'll do it together," Regina said. "Like most things, we do better together."

Emma smiled. "Okay. What do I have to do first?"

Regina smiled back before holding up an apron. "You're going to want this."

Baking was going relatively well, at least in Emma's mind. She had managed not to spill anything, and most of the cookies had made it in and out of the oven successfully. The first batch hadn't gone very well.

Now that the cookies were cooling, it was time for the frosting to be made. As with everything else, Regina had insisted that the frosting be as homemade as the cookies themselves.

Regina made the frosting since Emma had bad luck with the mixer, and Emma was in charge of the dye and mixing the frosting with a butter knife.

After all the frosting had been mixed, the actual frosting of the cookies began. Regina, of course, put the frosting on neatly. Emma, on the other hand, got the frosting on the cookie and her hand. Not that she minded. She just licked it off.

Regina looked over at Emma and laughed, seeing the frosting on her nose. "What are you laughing at?" Emma asked.

"You have frosting on your nose," Regina said. "And it's red. I should start calling you Rudolph."

Emma rolled her eyes. She went to wipe the frosting off, but then got a better idea. Smirking, she dipped her finger in the red frosting before reaching over and wiping it on the edge of Regina's nose.

Regina's jaw dropped. "Hey!"

Emma laughed. "Hi."

Regina narrowed her eyes before dipping her finger in the green frosting and wiping it on Emma's cheek.

"Hey!" Emma protested. "I was just getting back at you for making fun of me! What was this for?"

"Putting frosting on my nose," Regina said.

Emma glared at her before dipping her finger in the green frosting. Regina shielded her face with her hands, so Emma just wiped the frosting on the top of Regina's hand.

Regina put her hands down and reached for the red frosting, but Emma grabbed the bowl. Regina narrowed her eyes before grabbing the green bowl. Each woman stared at each other, holding their respective bowl of frosting.

Henry walked into the kitchen, stopping and just looking at his mothers. "What are you guys doing?"

"Having a frosting fight," Emma said. "Duh."

Henry just sighed and rolled his eyes before leaving the room. He was used to his mothers being weird by now.

"He seemed disappointed in us," Regina said.

"Yeah," Emma said. Several beats passed. "Bet I can get more frosting on you than you can on me."

Regina laughed. "You're on."
