"So, how was that?" Emma asked when the sun rose. "Did I prove my love to you?"

"I suppose so," Regina said playfully, nudging the woman's shoulder gently. "But if you really love me, you should let your mother walk in on us fucking."

A blush instantly flooded Emma's cheeks.

"No way."

"I'm just teasing," Regina said with a grin.

"No, you're not," Emma challenged. "You'd do anything to make her suffer."

"I suppose that's true. But not that, because I know how much that would embarrass you."

This brought a small smile to Emma's lips.

"What's going to happen when we're back in Storybrooke?"

"What do you want to happen?"

"I want to be with you," Emma told her seriously. "I want to take you on dates and show you how much I care for you."

This made Regina blush too.

"Dates?" she asked. "Like what?"

"Like going out to dinner somewhere special. We could drive to Portland. We could even go down to Boston for the day, if you wanted. I could show you the sights and-"

"You know," Regina jumped in. "I'd actually really like that."

Emma leaned in and kissed her lover's lips. Of course, the woman eagerly kissed back, wrapping her hand in Emma's hair.

"Don't stop," Regina mumbled against her lips as their bodies moved closer together.

Emma shook her head and giggled.

"We're going to wake them."

"So what? Let them see."

"Regina. No."

Emma gently pushed the woman away, causing her to frown and roll over onto her back, crossing her arms.

"Don't be like that," Emma said, touching Regina's shoulder.

Sitting up, Regina looked towards the sky.

"We should wake them. We need to get going."

Emma nodded sadly and sat up as well, reluctantly standing up and folding her blanket and putting it away. Regina did the same, not looking at Emma.

"When will we be alone?" the queen whispered.

"I promise you," Emma said softly, "when we're back in Storybrooke, you will have me all to yourself."

Regina smiled at this and finally looked at her lover.

"Okay."

"We will find Henry, right?" Emma asked, her voice shaking slightly.

After a nod, Regina took her hand and squeezed it.

"I promise we will get our son back."

Emma woke the others - Regina had no interest in being the first thing any of them saw in the morning - and packed her bag.

"Let's go," she said, as soon as everyone had their things together.

This time, they all walked together. Snow refused to look at them. Instead, she stood by her husband and made sure to hold his hand tightly as they marched on through the forest. At last, they reached Pan's active camp.

"This is it," Regina whispered to Emma, who motioned for the rest of them to stop.

"I'll take the lost boys; you find Henry and go after Pan," Emma said, knowing Regina would be far better equipped to take on the young boy than she was.

Regina looked at Emma, taking in each one of her features.

"No. Stay with me. I don't want you hurt," she said sternly, grabbing the woman's hand with her left and wrapping her right arm protectively around Emma's waist.

Surprised, Emma gave into the embrace and rested her head on Regina's shoulder, just for a moment. When they pulled away, the rest of the group was behind them, Snow still averting her eyes and looking away from them.

"You guys take on the lost boys," Emma said, not letting go of Regina's hand. "We're going to find Pan and Henry."

They all nodded, and it was decided. Just as they prepared to move in, Regina stole a kiss.

Author's Note: Help me out here, guys. How should this all go down? What happens next? I'm stuck.
