The Conversation

Emma

Regina and I Lay side by side as far away from each other as the king sized bed would allow. I was not about to sleep on my couch… and Regina was old… well older than me, and I know that stupid couch is lumpy. I took a side glance at her and she was staring straight up at the ceiling. A lot seemed to be on her mind. I, however needed to forget the tingling feeling her skin gave me all over my body.

She clearedher throat, and I glanced at her again. "So… so Naked." She whispered into the air.

"Can' we uh… not talk about this please?" I asked closing my eyes and trying to forget her Super bodacious body against mine.

She sighed and looked over at me. "So uh… what's the deal with you and your father?" Regina asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry… That question is not in the binder." I answered curtly.

"Oh really? I thought you were the one that said we had to learn all this-"

"Not about that I didn't." I interrupted. I didn't want to discuss my father. Though she effectively doused the tiny flame in my groin from having been felt up full frontal.

She insisted,"but if the guy asks-"

"NOT ABOUT THAT Regina, good night!" I said my voice raised. I didn't mean to yell, but I can't discuss my father with her.

We lay together in silence. neither of us daring to turn to face each other. staring straight to the ceiling. After a while, I looked out of the corner of my eye, and saw that she wanted to keep talking, and just as I cleared my throat to speak, she said. "I like the Psychic Network." I turned my face toward her listening.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I mean I really enjoy it." She paused and searched for something else. "Um… I took Disco Lessons in the sixth grade." She smirked at the next thought. "My first concert was Rob Bass and DJ Eazy Rock. I think Helen Mirren is sexy." I smiled at that.

I turned on my side to watch her face. She continued to look up at the ceiling unable to meet my eyes. "I don't like flowers in my house because they remind me of funerals. I've never played a video game." My eyebrows shot up in shock. "I read Wuthering Heights every Christmas. It's my favorite book." She bit her lower lip and glanced at me quickly. "I haven't slept with anyone in over a year and a half… and I went to the bathroom and cried after Archie blew up at me."

I blinked at the emotional creature that had presented herself to me. She shared things that I never thought she would. I know she thought it would make me hate her more… but… God' I like her so much more now than I ever did. I didn't say anything though. I knew there was so much more she wanted to say. So I listened.

"The um… bird tattoo? They are swallows…" she stopped and swallowed hard. "Got them when I was 16 after my parents died." She said swallowing again. "It's stupid," she said blinking back tears and turning her head away from me. "I'm sure there are many many other things, but that's all that I can come up with right now." After a few seconds she turned back to face me. and as she looked at me and blinked. "You okay?"

"Yeah… Yeah… I'm Just processing," I said softly. I know that she was vulnerable. I needed her to protect herself. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready to take on everything she just laid on my lap. I was starting to like her and I didn't want to, because I never wanted anyone to make me want to pin my happiness on them. She wanted to say more. I saw it in her face so I needed to defuse the emotions in the room. "So you haven't slept with a woman in 18 months?" I asked.

She closed her eyes and groaned. "Oh my god, out of all of that... Was that all you got?"

"That's a long time." I said, though I wasn't that much better off… but I'm a mom it's expected of me to have a sexless life.

"Yeah well I've uh… been a little busy." she said cheekily.

"Yeah…" I said and looked back up at the ceiling. a quiet descended upon us once more. This time it was less tense and a bit more companionable than ever has been. I smirked and decided to tease Regina about her age. "Who's uh.. Rob Bass and … uh…"

"DJ Eazy Rock?" she asked as if me not knowing was embarrassing to her.

"Yeah…" I said turning back to face her.

She looked at me with a mixture of incredulity and embarrassment. "You know, It takes to to make a thing go right… It takes to to make it out of sight." She sang quickly. I shook my head as if I didn't recognize it. Then I chuckled I couldn't continue. "What?" she asked

"I know who Rob Base is, I just wanted you to sing it." I said laughing out now.

She laughed and took her pillow and hit me over the head with it. "That's so mean."

I laughed a little and looked back up at the ceiling. "Regina?" I said softly.

"Yes?"

"Don't take this the wrong way." I said almost whispering.

"Okay." she said curiously waiting for me to say it.

I paused about what I was about to admit. "You are a very… Very beautiful woman." I said just above a whisper. It was breathy, because the air left me just before I said it. I looked over at Regina and she was trying to suppress a smile. her cheeks were rosy and I knew that maybe she liked me as more than her assistant. At least as a friend. Again I needed my wit to diffuse this different kind of tension. All I could come up with was. "I wanna rock right now, I'm Rob Bass and I came to get down…"

We both began to sing the next line together. "I'm not internationally known, but I come to rock the microphone."

She continued the line. "Coz I get stupid I mean-"

"It takes two to make a thing go right!" I cut in at a high pitch. Regina's laughter was like music. I had never heard it before and I needed more. "It takes two to make it out of sight!" I sang again. She laughed and let out a soft snort, I thought the most adorable thing I had ever heard.

"Get deep, get a little low." Regina said between giggles.

I tried to do the lines again but my throat started to hurt. "Oh god… I just can't anymore." I laughed and as we both laughed, we turned to face each other in the bed. It was a long time before we could stop.

Regina

I woke up startled the next morning. I was disoriented, not realizing at first where I was. I shifted and glanced at the bedside clock to reveal it was only seven am. I looked next to me. Emma was faced away from me asleep, then I saw a bedside mirror and noticed my wild curls about my head I looked around and reached for my brush at the bedside table and brushed and smoothed my bed head. Then reached for the lip gloss I had placed next to the brush the night before and put some on. pinched my cheeks and reached for a mint in my purse that sat there as well. then I lay beside Emma, Pressing myself a little closer, the front of my legs touching the back of hers in a sort of half spoon as I didn't wrap my arm around her.

Then there was a knock on the door. "Room service! breakfast in bed for the happy couple." Mary Margret's voice cut through the door.

I sprang up so much for Emma finding me cuddling. I reached out and shook her. 'Emma…" I said.

She moaned loudly. "Ohhh…"

I blushed and shook her harder. "Miss Swan!"

"Yes… Oh…" Emma made the weirdest noises in her sleep. I took my pillow and brought them down on her head.

"Emma! Your mother is at the door." I said firmly and she sat up straight.

"Here, wait…" She said and pulled the strings of her Cami down under her armpits then pulled me closer to her front and brought the blankets up to just below her armpits. I looked at her, she looked naked. "Lean back."

"What?" I asked and then she reached out and ruffled my hair.

"Are you wearing Make up?" she asked looking at me then at her self in the mirror on the wall.

"What? No!" I said as she leaned closer to me, then reached out and touched my thigh.

"Good you're wearing shorts stick a leg out of the covers, and get closer." she whispered.

"What are you…"

"Then she will think twice before waking me up again." She said and we settled together with her being the big spoon. There was another knock at the door.

"Um… come in?" I said nervously.

Mary Margaret stepped in and took in our tousled appearance and smiled nervously at us. "Good morning."

"Oooh That looks great." Emma said. "Cinnamon buns."

"You shouldn't have gone through all that trouble." I said to her mother.

"Oh nonsense, you're family, and baking reduces stress for me." Mary Margaret stated.

Then Her father walked into the room putting on an incredibly fake smile he said. "Is there room for one more?"

"Oh can we not do the Brady family meeting right now, we were kind of in the middle of… something." Emma stated sitting up and shifting a little to bring the blanket up over us a little more.

"Then why did you let us in?" Her father said, and I could have told her that would have been both of their opinion when she plotted this scene out. I rolled my eyes at her attempt to shock, then my mind turned at how fun it would have been had they come at a bad time indeed… The look on Mary Margaret's face though made the whole thing worth it and personally I think that was all Emma wanted anyway. she's is such a child. "Your mother and I had come up with a proposition." Those words brought me back. "I happen to think it's a terrific idea-"

"We want you to get married here tomorrow." Mary Margaret interrupted.

That shut the man up… though it looked like he wanted to present the argument with a little more finesse than his wife the politician had shown just then. "What?" I said.

"No." Emma said at the same time. I watched these two people in horror as Emma shook her head over and over.

"You're gonna get married anyway, so why don't you get married here, where we can be all together, and that way all of the town can be a part of it."

"NO… NO! It's Granny's big birthday we don't want to get in the way of it." I said.

Just then Henry bounded into the room. "Mommies you're getting married tomorrow!" Emma's father stopped him before he climbed into bed between what he assumed to be two naked women.

"uh…"

"An' guess what mommy I get to wear a suit and bow tie and carry some rings."

I looked at Emma then at her son. Emma wanted so badly to say no, but she just nodded to the boy. "We sure are son."

The parents rejoice, "We will do everything. Don't you worry about a thing." Mary Margaret said and turned to leave pulling the excited toddler and her husband out of the room.

Once they were gone, Emma groaned. "Oh my Gosh… when my mom finds out is a sham she is going to die. My son is going to be so screwed up. Oh God what kind of example am I setting? My father! what the hell is that with the whole wedding thing"

"Miss Swan calm down. They are not gonna find out they are just excited." I said and began to rub at her shoulders. her sexy muscular shoulders as I soothed her.. She hid her face in her hands and I began to get lost in thought as I rubbed. "It's not like we're going to stay married forever. We will be happily divorced before you know it. we'll be. fine! we'll be fine." I said and wished I could drop a kiss on those shoulders. "Are you okay?"

She nodded, "Yeah…" then she looked down at my hands still rubbing at her. I looked at my hands and Jumped to separate.

"I need to go get breakfast." I said standing and reaching for the Trey Her mother had set for us.

"Yeah." she said and I disappeared into the bathroom. Touching her felt to good. I had to be careful with the method of comfort I would use for her. She watched me as I took the coffee and poured her some and handed it to her. "Yeah I think you're right. I think they will be fine they won't find out."

"Absolutely, cause everything is going to be great." I said picking up a plate with a cinnamon roll and brought it to her. I smirked. "I see, I'm glad I know how to cook, so I could keep my girl happy so she won't just up and leave."

She snorted. "Well I haven't left you yet Regina." she said.

I stopped. I keep forgetting this is as real as I made it. "You know what I'm Just gonna go."

"Where are you going?

"Just out for a walk." I said pulling on my sweater and a pair of slacks

"Okay, later…" Emma said and went back to eating her buns.
