This time Emma woke before her lover. She looked down to find Regina's head resting on her shoulder, a leg flung carelessly over her hips. She gently kissed the top of her lover's head and slowly extracted herself from the queen's grip. She stood from bed and stretched before heading to the in suite bathroom.
Looking in the mirror the blonde couldn't help but smile. She loved Regina Mills, and was loved in return. Already nude, as they hadn't bothered to put on any clothes prior to passing out last night, Emma stepped into the large shower stall and turned on the water. She let it's warmth cascade over her hair and skin. Blindly reaching for the shampoo her fingers found a cold metal cylinder instead. Opening her eyes, the blonde realized she was holding a very old looking straight razor.
"That was my father's." Regina's voice startled her, causing Emma to let the razor clatter to the floor. The brunette stepped into the shower, wrapping her toned arms around Emma's waist while stepping onto her tip toes to place a soft kiss on slightly parted lips. The blonde wasted no time in reciprocating, running her hands from the nape of the mayor's neck down to her tight ass.
Pulling back slightly, Emma looked into Regina's soft eyes before kissing the scar above her lip. Gently tracing it with her finger she asked, "Is it the same one your mother used?"
"Yes." was her only reply.
"I love you Gina." Emma sighed before swooping down for another kiss.
"I love you too Em." the once dark queen replied before spinning Emma around and beginning to wash her long golden locks.
Showered and dressed for the day they left their love nest, not surprised that they were greeted by the sounds of the TV from downstairs.
"Morning Mom, Ma." Henry smiled around a mouth full of Lucky Charms. He had never been allowed to eat such sugary cereal before his biological mother had come into his life. It was one of the thousand trivial reasons he was grateful for her presence. At the moment he was most grateful because of the easy smile on his adopted mother's face and the relaxed set of her shoulders.
Swallowing roughly he asked, "What are we doing today?"
"Well young man, we were going to take you to Granny's for some hot cocoa and french toast but it seems you beat us to breakfast."
"Oh! Let me get dressed, I always have room for Granny's!" Henry put his empty bowl down on the coffee table and practically flew up the stairs.
"Having you here has been so good for him. He hasn't been this enthusiastic about being seen with me in public since before he found out about the Enchanted Forest."
"I'm just as enthused to be seen with you babe." Emma grinned. "Ruby has got to be dying for some details by now" she chuckled.
Just then Henry came racing down the stairs, "Let's not keep your adoring fans waiting then dear."
The trio hopped into Emma's trusty yellow beetle, much to Regina's feigned distaste, and made their way downtown. As they walked into Granny's hand and hand, the diner was filled with silence except for a loud squeal from Red, who ran over and practically tacked Emma with a hug. "I knew it!" she yelled.
Regina stood back and smirked as her girlfriend disentangled herself from the exited wolf. "Yeah, yeah you're psychic on top of the fur and super senses now, huh?" Emma asked sarcastically. Ruby playfully slapped her on the arm before turning to Regina and smiling.
"Got to hand it to you Madam Mayor, you really bagged yourself a hot little number here."
"Don't I know it Red, don't I know it."
While they were talking the diner settled back into it's usual chaos, the citizens of Storybrook had seen stranger things after all. The waitress led them over to their usual booth and flitted off behind the counter after taking their orders. The three of them chatted away happily, the rest of the world fading into the back ground. As they were finishing their brunch the little bubble they had cast around their table was burst by a clearing throat.
"You all seem to be spending a lot of time together these days. We really miss you Emma, Henry. You are family after all."
Emma looked up at her parents, glowing with the superiority of their goodness and royalty. As usual, Mary Margaret was dressed like a school marm and Charming had his meaty hand resting over her swollen abdomen in a gesture that was more reminiscent of claiming than protection. "Well, we are going to be spending a lot more time together in the future." she said, while reaching her hand across the table and grasping Regina's smaller one.
Charming opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, looking like a fish. "You can not possibly be serious Emma. This is the Evil Queen we're talking about. She cursed us all, which is the only reason we lost you in the first place! She must have cast a spell on you." Snow reached out and grasped her daughter by the upper arm and tried to pull her from the booth. "You're coming with us to see Blue. She'll be able to fix you."
Emma wrenched her arm from her mother's grasp and stood up. "I don't need fixing! Regina may have cast the curse, but you made the terrible choice to entrust me to a magical fucking tree!" Emma pushed her way past her stunned parents and fled the diner.
"Go wait in the car with your mother Henry. I need to have a little chat with your grandmother."
She held up a stern hand when Snow went to say something. Waiting until Henry was out of sight, she rounded on the royal couple enraged. "How dare you come in here and question my relationship with Emma, in front of our son!"
"She is my daughter Regina, and the only reason I'm not close enough to her to have prevented your despicable relationship is because of you!"
"Wrong Snow! The only reason your child didn't tell you about finding her own true love is you. You idiots made the choice to abandon her to an unknown world by putting her in that tree. Have you even asked her about her child hood? Really tried to get to know Emma instead of forcing her into the role of you perfect princess?"
"You have no idea what you're talking about Regina! You aren't a real parent, you can't understand the choices we were forced to make!"
"I've been a better parent to Henry than you ever could have been to Emma. I may have cursed you, but you're the ones who threw your child away."Regina twirled on her heel and stormed out of the diner, the door slamming in her wake.
Snow turned to Red, looking to her old friend from support. All she received was a frown and the cold shoulder as the wolf turned her back on Snow White. Her husband stood next to her, hand still on her baby bump, completely useless. A single tear made its way down her perfectly round cheek. She grabbed Charming by the hand and pulled him out of the diner running from their shared shame.
AN: Thanks for reading. Can't expect much from people stupid enough to "poof" their new born off into another world, can you?
