Regina tried desperately to pick up the strewn items from the floor surrounding her desk suddenly very aware that she wasn't wearing any panties as she bent down to do so.
She threw some of the papers on her desk while still trying to retrieve scattered pens and random stationery from the ground around her desk. 'Magic' she thought and with a quick flick of her hand her desk was back to normal, engulfed in a haze of purple fog.
The door had since opened and Snow was stood looking at her with a confused expression. "Regina? Are you ok?" Snow asked, concerned by Regina's strange behaviour and wondering what magic Regina had just performed on her desk.
"Yes, fine, everything is fine." Regina replied not inviting Emma's mother into her office. But she hadn't needed to as she had already taken it upon herself to step in and walk over to the desk.
"I came to see if Emma was here? David said she was feeling unwell so he told her to go home. She's not answering her phone." Snow said as she looked at the pale looking brunette now sat at her desk.
"She's here. She's fine. She's sleeping on the sofa. She's fine." Regina replied unconvincingly knowing that she needed to get Snow to leave the office before she realised what she was so close to walking in on.
Snow looked over to the sofa to see Emma sleeping peacefully, her hair fanned across a pillow, she looked angelic. "If she has a fever she really shouldn't have that throw over her." She said while looking at her sleeping daughter.
"She doesn't have a fever."
"Are you sure? Because David said..." but Snow didn't get change to finish as Regina cut her off.
"She doesn't have a fever. She's just a little tired." Regina said sharply, she was starting to panic, she really needed Snow to leave before she put two and two together and realised exactly what she had been doing to her daughter before she arrived.
"What happened to your desk?" Snow asked. "When I came in it looked like you were performing magic."
"I knocked some stuff off accidentally. I had lots of papers that I needed to keep in order so I used a small spell to sort it." Regina rambled.
"Are you ok? Because you look a little pale." Snow looked at Regina. She looked pale and her head looked a little clammy. She had known Regina for a long time; she knew full well that Regina was lying to her about something.
"I'm fine."
"Maybe it's a bug you're both getting."
"No bug. We are both fine." Snow walked closer to Emma. Her cheeks did look a flushed she wondered if Regina had been wrong.
"Snow I think maybe its best you leave her alone if you wake her up she'll be grumpy for the rest of the day."
"Maybe I should just take the throw off her then? I don't want her to overheat." Snow said as she reached down to touch the blanket.
"No." Regina shouted in a panic, her voice loud and powerful. She had no choice but to wake Emma or her mother was about to get an eyeful.
Emma's eyes flew open and her body jumped in surprise. She looked up to see Snow stood over her. "Mom?" Emma questioned, confused as to where her mother has appeared from.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. You looked a little flushed I was just going to remove the throw to cool you down." Snow said softly not wanting to upset her sleep interrupted daughter.
Emma suddenly realised two things she was naked from the waist down and her mother was about to pull the throw that was covering her away. She grabbed the material from Snow harshly. "No. I'm cold" Emma said wrapping the throw more tightly around her body.
"But Emma you look really flushed." Snow placed a hand on Emma's forehead for confirmation. "You're hot. I think you have a fever."
"I don't." Emma was still disorientated from sleep and completely confused as to how her mother ended up in Regina's office.
Snow was really confused by Regina and Emma's strange behaviour. She looked between the two of them with interest. Neither was looking at the other, maybe they were fighting. That idea was soon squashed when she noticed Emma with a pure look of horror across her face as she looked at the table beside the sofa. She followed Emma's gaze and noticed a neatly folded pair of trousers that looked a lot like Emma's maternity jeggings and a pair of red panties that were also folder neatly.
Suddenly Snow was hit by the realisation of why Emma looked flushed and why Regina looked so pale. "Oh... I well... I should be going."
"I'm glad you're ok." Snow rushed out of the office quickly as possible unable to make eye contact with either woman. Everything now made sense. The desk, ew the desk. She'd never be able to visit Regina's office again. In fact she would never be able to look Regina or her daughter in the eye again.
Emma looked over at Regina who was still looking down at the floor. "Do you think there is any way she didn't know what she walked in on?"
"As much as I'd love to believe that is possibility I think the panties were a giveaway."
"Fuck." Emma said before she started laughing uncontrollably.
"It's not funny." Regina warned looked at Emma, clearly irritated by the blonde finding the situation funny.
"Come on Regina it is a little funny. It could have been far worse."
"How?" Regina asked walking over to the sofa.
"She could have walked in while you were fucking me on the sofa. Now that would have been traumatising for all of us." Emma said with a smirk.
"She asked why I was performing magic on my desk." Regina said reliving the embarrassment of the messed up situation.
"Why didn't you just magic my pants back on?"
"I don't know, I panicked. I wasn't expecting her to just barge in like that. The door was opening before I had time to think." Regina sat next to Emma on the sofa.
After a few cuddles and shared laughs. Regina had calmed down some and Emma went back to sleep.
Regina had text Henry to ask him to meet them both at the diner for dinner. She didn't feel much like cooking and she thought both her son and girlfriend would appreciate dinner out.
Henry sat opposite his parents tucking into his burger with a smile.
Emma and Regina sat next to each other with thighs touching. "Are you enjoying that dear?" Regina asked as Emma hummed her appreciation as she ate her burger.
"It's good." She said with a mouthful of food and a big grin.
Regina just smiled to herself as she looked over across the table to see Henry making the same humming sound as he ate his own food. She would be offended but both of them did the same when they ate her food too.
"How was school?" Regina asked the boy once she was sure he'd swallowed his food.
"It was fine. I got an A in my maths test." He replied before taking a bite of his burger.
"That's great. I'm very proud of you" she said with a big proud grin.
"I'm glad you get your brains from your Mom" Emma said without swallowing her food.
"Me too." He said cheekily mimicking Emma's action.
"Well I have to say I'm a little disappointed that you got your table manners from your mother." Regina mocked playfully.
"Hey. It's important to show you enjoy your food." The blonde grinned while shovelling some fries into her mouth.
"Well it's polite to do so without a mouthful of food."
Emma chewed and swallows her food before saying a shy "Sorry."
"It's ok. I still love you, both of you." Regina replied with a smile that she directed at Emma and then Henry.
"Well what do we have here?" Hook's voice wiped the smile of Regina's face in an instant.
"What do you want?" Regina asked, relieved that she was sat on the outside of the booth between Emma and the pirate.
"Nothing from you. Well maybe I do if the rumours are true."
"Hook, please leave us alone. I thought I made it clear I want nothing to do with you." Emma said annoyed that he was ruining their family time.
"You love me. You told me you loved me and now what you're shacking up with her." He asked looking between the two women.
"Go. Now." Regina warned as Emma took hold of her hand, her body was trembling with rage. She looked over at Henry who looked nervous. She took her free hand took his over the table assuring him she wouldn't do anything too bad.
"Listen I have no business with you I just need to speak to Swan. Alone." The pirate said calmly.
"I'll speak to him." Emma said to Regina, tightening her grip on the brunette's hand. "Look at me" she said only to Regina "I needed to do this eventually. It's best I get it over with. Take Henry for an ice cream and I'll meet you both there soon."
"Ok." Regina said wanting to protest but knowing she needed to respect Emma's wishes.
"Upset her and I'll kill you." Regina said to the leather clad man as she exited her seat. She smiled at Emma one last time before reluctantly leaving the diner with Henry trailing behind her.
When they were outside Henry placed a hand on his mother's shoulder. "It will be ok Mom, she loves you."
Regina smiled at him with a tight lip. She knew it was true but she also worried that Emma had once loved the man who had been relentless in winning her affection.
"So you and the Evil Queen?" he said as he sat down in the spot Henry had just vacated.
"Me and Regina… Yes" she stated honestly and assertively.
"So you like a bit of sapphic action these days, I could be on board with that." Hook said with a smirk, winking in Emma's direction.
"You're disgusting. Don't be vile or this conversion can be done with already." Emma doubted agreeing to talk to him, but she knew this would have to happen sooner or later and he at least seemed relatively sober on this occasion.
"Sorry I'm just a little confused here. I came back to apologise to put things right between us, to give us another chance."
"You accused me of cheating, practically called me a whore and told me to abort my baby if I wanted us to be together."
"Ok maybe I was a little hasty. I apologise for the dumb stuff I said. I didn't actually mean it."
"Well it's too late that. Me and you, we are over. We weren't good together."
"But you and the Queen are?" he mocked.
"Yes we are." Emma replied honestly, she was positive that her and Regina were a great match. They complemented each other perfectly and protected each other fiercely.
"So she's gonna raise that with you?" he asked in disbelief.
"She is going to raise my daughter with me yes."
"You know where it came from yet?" he asked as if he was talking about a stray dog.
"No but Regina made me realise it doesn't matter. She didn't know where Henry came from when she took him on. She loved him anyway and we both love this little girl growing inside me unconditionally. That's all that matters."
"What about if it's not normal?"
"Normal is not something I'd use to describe any of us. No matter what she's mine and she's loved."
"I'm not sure I want to give up on us. Me and you"
"There is no us. There hasn't been for a while. I need you to leave me alone. " she wasn't willing to carry on going round in circles with the grimy pirate.
"I don't think you mean that. I mean you have said that to me before have you not?"
"I have and if I'd been true to myself id have stuck to my decision when I said me and you wouldn't happen."
"Tell it like it is swan why don't you." Hook threw his hands up in annoyance.
"I'm sorry I just think it's best to be honest. I don't want to be with you. I don't love you and I never will." Emma was starting to lose her patience.
"Well I'll take that as my cue to leave then wench."
"I hope you find your happy ending Killian. I mean that." she offered as he stood up to leave.
"Yes. You too Swan." He said unconvincingly before leaving the table without another look at the blonde.
Regina and Henry were sat on a bench outside the diner, Henry eating an ice cream while Regina looked off into space deep in thought.
"Hey" Emma said leaning down to kiss Regina's lips.
"Hi" Regina replied with a smile against the blondes lips.
"Everything is fine. He wasn't too much of a di…" She stopped herself looking at Henry before continuing on. "Idiot. I've told him to back off and that I don't want to be with him. I think he understood in the end."
"Good" Regina said with a smile.
"I love you Regina Mills and only you. I need you to know that."
"I love you too." Regina pulled Emma into her lap her hand resting protectively over the bump and kissed the woman softly on the lips.
"Stop it, people are staring. You are so embarrassing." Henry shouted, standing up and walking away from his parents.
"Sorry." Both women said with small smiles.
"Do I get ice cream too?" Emma asked Regina while relaxing into the brunettes embrace.
"You can have anything you like."
"Oh really?" Emma replied suggestively.
"Please stop. I'm already scarred for life. Get off mom and go get your ice cream." Henry said to Emma.
Regina placed a kiss to Emma's cheek. You sit, I'll get you some ice cream. What would you like?"
"Triple scoop, apple pie, bubble-gum and chocolate." Emma said with childlike smile.
"You can have two scoops and you're sharing with me." Regina replied before heading off to get ice cream.
