"Hey, Kathryn, do you hear that?" Regina perked up at the sound of a strange noise coming from the front door.
"What?" yawned Kathryn.
"I don't know," Regina stood up and went to open the door. Suddenly, she saw Emma bursting inside, laughing and falling to the ground. Kathryn quickly rushed over to help Regina lift Emma up.
"What's this?" asked Kathryn as she observed Emma laughing on the carpet.
"I think it's my beloved girlfriend," Regina replied, bending down to Emma.
"Hey girls, were you waiting for me?" Emma hugged Kathryn's leg from the ground.
"Waiting, yes, yes," Kathryn laughed. "Regina, she's as drunk as a skunk."
"Help me lift her," Regina pleaded with Kathryn. "Ugh, I'm going to kill her tomorrow."
"I only had a little bit to drink," Emma continued to laugh as she let herself be dragged.
"But ew, what did you drink?" Regina wrinkled her nose when Emma approached her face.
"I love you so much!" Emma threw herself into Regina's arms instead of answering.
"Sure, sure, I love you too," Regina patted her back and rolled her eyes. "What are you staring at, Kathryn? Help me get her into the shower," Regina urged Kathryn with a chuckle.
"I'm going, I'm going," Kathryn took Emma under her armpit.
"No, no, I don't want to shower," Emma giggled. "Too, too cold shower, too cold," Emma mumbled.
"Oh my god, she's completely out of it," Regina shook her head.
"Well, she's your girlfriend, you're responsible for her, and you have to take care of her," Kathryn winked at Regina.
"Regina! I want... I want..." Emma tried to say something while trying to embrace Regina around the shoulders. "I want to dance with you!"
"But -" Regina didn't have time to finish because Emma started kissing her passionately. It was hard for Regina to escape her grip.
"This is such a romantic moment," Kathryn laughed again.
"Emma, dear, I love you, but with all due respect, please stop trying to kiss me because I'll probably throw up from your breath," Regina tried to keep Emma away from her body. "Take her off, Kathryn!" she desperately waved to her friend.
"You don't love me at all," Emma sulked and turned her back to Regina, embracing Kathryn around the shoulders. "She doesn't love me?"
"Right now, I'm not sure, but I like you," Kathryn giggled.
"Yes, sure, encourage her even more!" Regina frowned. "Lean her against my back, and let's lift her up."
"That's an interesting plan," Kathryn remarked.
"Let's get her up, I don't have any other ideas, I don't want to leave her sleeping in the hallway," Regina decided.
"No, I don't want to, don't want to be on my back," Emma laughed like crazy.
"Take her hands so she can hold me around the neck," Regina turned her head to Kathryn.
"I'm going to fall, I'm going to fall!" Emma didn't stop laughing.
"What are you doing there with her?" Regina yelled as Emma fell on top of her.
"I'm loading her up!" Kathryn replied. "She's spinning like she wants to run a marathon."
Finally, Emma properly wrapped her arms around Regina's neck, and they headed for the stairs.
Emma was laughing so hard she could barely stand. "Honey, I think I'm going to throw up," she said.
"Don't you dare throw up on my—" Regina warned, but before she could finish, Kathryn interrupted with another laugh.
As they struggled to drag Emma up the stairs, Regina leaned her against the wall.
"Hey, Regina? We should shower her. We'll have to take her clothes off," Kathryn suggested.
Regina considered it for a moment. "That's true. I've always wanted to shower my girlfriend while you stand next to me," she said with a laugh.
Emma perked up at the suggestion. "Yes, I want to take my clothes off!" she exclaimed, starting to pull her shirt over her head.
"Emma, don't be silly!" Regina exclaimsed pulling her shirt down. "Help me lift her up again." Regina turned to Kathryn.
"This is one of the best nights I've had in a long time," Kathryn said as she helped Emma stand up.
"Honey?" Emma mumbled, embracing Kathryn. "I want a goodnight kiss."
Regina pulled Emma back into her arms. "Don't you think you've mistaken the woman?" she teased.
"At least one kiss," Emma pleaded, turning to Regina.
Regina sighed. "Okay, but only one and then we'll go to bed, okay?"
"Okay!" Emma agreed, leaning in for a kiss. But just before their lips met, Emma suddenly rushed into the bathroom, leaving Regina and Kathryn to hear the sounds of vomiting.
"That's really gross," Kathryn remarked.
"Yeah, it's disgusting," Regina agreed.
"Hey, she's your girlfriend!"
"That's exactly why I can say whatever I want about her!"
Emma staggered out of the bathroom and walked over to Kathryn. "Kathryn, I'm in trouble. Regina will probably kill me. She can't find out I got this drunk," Emma whispered in her ear, while Regina stood a meter away from them.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell her anything," Kathryn reassured her with a smile.
"Let's go to the bedroom!" Regina commanded.
They managed to lay Emma down on the bed, and Regina went to see Kathryn off.
"Thanks, Kathryn. I think if you weren't here today, Emma would have had to stay in the hallway," Regina laughed.
"You're welcome. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when Emma sobers up," Kathryn replied with a laugh before leaving.
Regina returned to the bedroom to find Emma sprawled all over the bed without a bra. "Emma, you need to move to your side of the bed. I can't fit in here," Regina poked her and chuckled. She tried to nudge her again.
Emma just mumbled something and pulled Regina onto her. "Regina, you're so hot!" she declared, running her fingers through Regina's hair.
"Sweetie, it's time to sleep," Regina said firmly, managing to roll Emma onto the other half of the bed. Within a minute, Emma was sound asleep and snoring loudly.
"Unbelievable. I'll have to tear Ruby apart when I see her," Regina muttered under her breath.
"Still, I love you, you idiot," she chuckled at Emma, planting a kiss on her forehead before snuggling under the blankets with a slight smile on her face.
The next morning, Regina wakes up to the sound of someone groaning in pain. She opens her eyes to see Emma clutching her head and moaning.
"Good morning, sunshine," Regina smirks.
"Oh god, what happened?" Emma covers her face with her hands. "...Oh god, what did I do?!" Emma winces.
