The following Saturday morning rolled around before they knew it. They were laying in bed, neither of the two woman wanting to leave the other.
"I can't wait to wake up like this every morning." Emma told Regina who she was currently cuddling to.
"Hmmm, neither can I dear." Regina hummed into the blondes hair kissing the top of her head.
"So, when am I moving in here? We are both busy this weekend and next weekend we are going away together." Emma stated.
"Well, what about the following weekend my love?" Regina asked.
"That seems so far away." Emma whined.
"I know it does dear, but it will be here before you know it." Regina replied.
Emma took one of Regina's nipples in her mouth and sucked on it hard.
Regina yelped with pleasure and it sent heat straight down to her core.
"Emma dear." Regina squeaked out.
"Hmmm" Emma mumbled never moving her mouth.
"We can't do this right now love, I have to get you to Ruby's."
Emma didn't want to pull away but she knew that Regina was right. She went to get up but Regina pulled her in for a kiss.
When they finally pulled apart Emma got up and went for the bathroom.
"You know I want to, but we both have things to attend to today." Regina said.
"I know babe. You never told me what it is you are doing." Emma said.
"I know, I didn't plan on telling you." Regina simply stated.
"Why?" asked Emma.
Regina just walked up to the blonde and gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek and went down stairs to start on breakfast.
Downstairs Emma was still pouting because Regina wouldn't tell her what she had planned.
"Oh Emma dear, please don't pout. Remember, you have to trust me." Regina said pulling the blonde into an embrace.
"I know, I do trust you." Emma said kissing Regina.
Emma started to deepen the kiss slipping her tongue easily into Regina's mouth backing her up into the wall.
"MY EYES!" Henry yelled from the doorway leading into the kitchen. He then shielded his eyes.
"Oh Henry, it's just a kiss." Regina told him, blushing.
"No, that was much more than a kiss mom." Henry said.
Emma was just laughing her ass off in the corner at what was going on.
"What is so funny dear?" Regina asked.
"Poor kid, he will never get that image out of his head." Emma said.
"Henry dearest, you have seen your mother and I kiss before." Regina told him.
"I know, but not like that. Can we just drop it now?" Henry asked hopeful.
"I think that's a good idea." Regina told him pulling him into a hug.
"Well, I gotta get going, Ruby will be pissed if I'm late." Emma said.
"Well have a good day dear." Regina told her.
"You too, love you kid, love you babe." Emma told them.
Regina and Henry mumbled their I love you toos to Emma. They quickly finished their breakfast after.
"Alright Henry, go get dressed and ready, we have a big day ahead of us." Regina told him.
Emma and Ruby were at the newly built Storybrooke mall.
"So what are you getting her?" Ruby asked.
"Well, I have an idea." Emma told her.
"Tell me!" Ruby said excitedly.
Emma proceeded to tell Ruby her plan about what she wanted to get the brunette for their anniversary.
"Are you sure she is ready for that Em?" Ruby asked.
"Well, that is what the second ring is for. I haven't really planned on how I'm going to go about it but I want her to know how serious I am." Emma said.
"Well, then let's get to the jewelry store. But after we need to do some real shopping." Ruby exclaimed.
"Rubes, I don't want to be at the mall all day long." Emma told her.
"Too bad for you since I drove and I just got paid."
Across town Regina and Henry had just arrived at the Charmings.
"Hey guys, ready to start packing things up?" Charming asked.
"You and Henry get started, I need to speak with Snow for a moment." Regina told them.
Regina was somewhat anxious and nervous to speak with Emma's mother. Though they had made amends, things could still be a bit weird between the two brunettes.
"Come on Henry, let's get started." Charming said.
They left the room leaving Snow and Regina to talk.
"What can I help you with Regina?" Snow asked.
"I want this to be special for Emma. I want my home to feel like her home as well. Not just like we are moving her stuff into my home. So I have a project for us." Regina explained to her.
"Okay, I'm listening."
"Well, I would like to turn one of the two spare bedrooms into a workout room for Emma. She is always complaining about how Storybrooke doesn't have a gym so I thought why not give her, her own personal one?" Regina said excitedly.
"Regina, that sounds like a good idea, but I think that is a lot to get done in one day, don't you?" Snow asked her.
"Well I thought about calling Ruby and making sure that she keeps Emma out late and we could stay here and pack things up while the boys move things out of the room." Regina replied.
"If you think we can get it done then you can count me in."
"Then let's do this."
Regina started to go upstairs and tell the boys the plan but Snow grabbed her arm to stop her.
"What is it Snow? We have to get started." Regina said annoyed.
"You really love her don't you Regina?" Snow asked with a dorky grin.
"Yes Snow, I really do. I don't think I could ever live without her." Regina said smiling.
She started thinking back over about the last year of her life. About how much she had changed for Emma and Henry. The town loved her and she was surprisingly best friends with Snow White. She had been reelected mayor and she felt that her life was finally coming together.
"She feels the same way you know." Snow told her.
"I know she does. I don't know what I would do if she didn't."
"I'm so glad that you finally found happiness Regina. You really and truly deserve it more than anyone."
"Thank you Snow."
Before they knew it the boys were coming down stairs to check on things.
"Do you plan on helping us today ladies?" Charming asked.
"Well, there has been a change of plans." Regina told them.
"What's up mom?" asked Henry.
"Well, Snow and I are going to stay here and pack, you and Charming are going to go get the dwarfs and move everything out of the spare bedroom next to my room. When you are done meet Snow and I at Granny's for what to do next." Regina explained to them.
"Alright, sounds good." Charming said.
Snow and Regina made their way upstairs to start packing up Emma's room. The blonde had a lot more stuff since she had permanently moved to Storybrooke two years ago. They had finished packing up all of Emma's clothes and shoes and started to work their way through the small closet when Snow found a scrapbook.
"What's this?" She asked Regina flipping through the pages.
The pages were filled with pictures of Regina and Emma and the memories they had made together. There were also pictures of Henry with them as well.
"This is the scrapbook that I made Emma and gave to her last month. I thought she would like to have something with all of our pictures in it." Regina told her.
Snow stopped on a page of Regina and Emma riding horses together. They were holding hands as they were riding.
"When did she start riding?" Snow asked.
"Shortly after we got together. The stables were one the few places we were able to go until we decided to let everyone know that we were a couple. She said she wanted to learn to ride for me so we would have something to do together." Regina told her smiling as she thought back to the first time Emma ever got on a horse.
"Regina, I change my mind, I can't do this." Emma said as she stared at the horse.
"Emma, yes you can dear. You wanted to do this so we could have something to do together. I will help you." Regina said trying not laugh at her girlfriend.
"Okay, you're right babe. I got this. I'm Emma Swan. I'm the savior damnit. I can do anything." Emma told herself trying to give herself a small pep talk.
Emma tried to get onto the horse but was having some trouble so Regina placed a firm hand on her butt and helped push Emma up onto the horse.
"Thanks babe, but you know, you didn't have to use this as an excuse to touch my ass."
Regina just laughed at the blonde and got onto her horse and they started to make their way down the trail at an nice and easy pace.
"Regina, are you okay?" Snow asked her.
Regina snapped out of the memory and but she continued to smile.
"Oh, yes dear. Just fine." Regina said.
"You were staring into space with this huge idiotic smile on your face." Snow told her laughing.
Regina joined in on the laughter and simply said. "Yes well your daughter seems to have that affect on me dear."
They laughed as the continued to pack everything up.
Finally three hours later they were completely done packing up the blondes room. It was almost noon and they decided to go see if the guys were at the diner yet.
When they arrived at Granny's the guys and were just getting there as well.
"Well Regina, everything has been loaded up and we moved it into storage for you." Charming told her.
"I don't have a storage building David." Regina said.
"We took care of that for you." Leroy told her.
"Well, that was very nice of you all. Thank you very much."
"So mom, what's next?" Henry said.
"Well, I thought we could all use a break. We can go grab a bit to eat and then head back to the Snow and David's place and get the boxes and then we will go from there." Regina told them.
Across town Ruby and Emma were still at the mall.
"Rubyyyyyyyy, can we go home now? We have been here literally all damn morning." Emma whined.
"No, we cannot go home. I am nowhere near done. We still have like a dozen stores to go into." Ruby told her.
"I hate you."
"You love me."
Ruby took her arm and dragged her into Victoria Secrets.
"You need to get something smoking hot for next weekend anyways. The usual shit isn't going to cut it Em. This is your anniversary. With the hottest fucking woman in town." Ruby told her.
"Okay, you are right about that." Emma said laughing.
"We can get some lunch after this." Ruby told her.
And with that, Emma started working her way through the store, she was starving.
Once everyone met back at Regina's house she told them what to do next.
"Okay, so Henry, Snow, and I are going to stay here and unpack these boxes. I've had a bunch of workout equipment ordered and picked it up earlier this week and I need you guys to put it together and turn the bedroom into a workout room. It should be plenty big enough. It is just a tad bit smaller then the master bedroom."
Everyone started to get to work.
Henry was bringing the boxes into the house while Snow and Regina began to unpack them.
They tried to help Henry with them, but he insisted on doing it himself because he was the man of the house.
They were moving clothes into the side of the closet Regina had made for Emma that morning before she left.
"Regina, can I ask you something?" Snow asked.
"Of course dear." Regina replied.
"Promise you won't get upset?"
"Spit it out Snow."
"Have you and Emma ever talked about getting married? I know that it's a very touchy subject with you and I probably shouldn't even ask because well for obvious reasons and.."
"SNOW!" Regina interrupted.
Snow looked as if she was about to cry.
"I shouldn't have brought that up. I'm so sorry."
"As much as I am enjoying this little rant of yours, I'm not mad. I figured you would've brought it up sooner than this" Regina told her.
"You're not angry?"
"No Snow. We settled our differences and I have fully forgiven you for everything. But to answer your question, we haven't really talked about it." Regina told her.
"Would you ever want to get married again?" Snow asked.
"Snow, I'm not angry with you, but I'm also not going to have this conversation with you. Especially when I haven't even had it with Emma. Even then, I don't know if I could. You have to understand that."
"I do Regina."
The finished working on the closet in silence.
Regina was moving Emma's things into the bathroom when she felt her phone buzz in her pocket.
Ruby: So Emma is ready to come home now. How much longer? I don't know if I can hold her off that much longer.
I think the guys are almost done with the gym and I am on the last box of unpacking things. Take her to the Rabbit Hole. I will pick her up when we are done. She deserves a few drinks after spending 7 hours at the mall with you and God only knows what else you made her do.
Ruby: It's a bit early to go to a bar, don't you think?
Well come up with something. I need another hour and I will be done. I want her here at 5:30 sharp.
Ruby: You're lucky I love you.
Regina just laughed at this. It was so strange how close she had became with the wolf.
"The guys are almost done with the gym, do you need anything else?" Snow asked.
"No, that will be all."
Snow went to walk out of the door when she heard Regina's voice.
"And Snow?" Regina said.
"Yes?"
"Thank you for today. "
"Anytime Regina." Snow said smiling.
"Well let's get everyone out of here so I can get everything ready for Emma to get home."
"Is Henry still staying with us?"
"Yes."
At 5:30 on the dot there was a knock on the front door.
Regina was so excited to see Emma.
She opened the door and was welcomed with flowers. Emma smiled at her and handed her the flowers and placed a quick kiss on the brunettes lips.
"And what are these for my love?"
"Because I love you." Emma told her.
"And I love you. Come in, I have a small surprise for you myself." Regina said smiling.
"You know babe, I don't see you in a pair of yoga pants and an old t-shirt that often. What have you been up too?" Emma asked.
"Come in and see for yourself."
When the blonde came in she seen a few of her things around the house. Some of her pictures she had of them, she noticed her movie and music collections had been moved in with Regina's. But what had really made her realize what was going on was when Regina brought her upstairs and told her to look around.
Emma went into the closet to see all of her clothes in there, in an organized fashion along with her shoes and everything else from her closet from the Charmings. She opened the dresser to find her pajamas in them. She then made her way to the bathroom and found all of her shampoos and body washes in the shower.
She noticed all of the things that use to be in her old room in the room that she now shared with Regina. No one had ever done anything like this for her before. She couldn't believe what Regina had done. Her eyes started to tear up and she ran and pick Regina up and kissed her more passionately then she had ever done before.
"Thank you so much Regina." She said refusing to put the woman down.
"I'm glad you liked it. But if you would be so kind as to put me down dear, there is one thing left for you to see." Regina told her.
Emma put Regina down and followed her down the hall.
"You want me to see the spare bedroom?" Emma asked.
"Oh just shut up and go in" Regina demanded smacking the blondes ass playfully.
When Emma opened the door, she seen the room had been transformed into a small gym.
It was perfect. It had everything that Emma wanted.
"What is all this Regina?" She asked.
"A room just for you. So you can go and clear your head. So when its below freezing outside and you want a nice workout you can stay here and run and do whatever else you want. This is all for you. It's the Emma room." Regina said.
She walked in the room and up to Emma and grabbed her face and kissed her.
"I love you so much Emma. I wanted my home to feel like your home. I didn't want you to feel like I was just moving your stuff in and there wasn't a piece of you in the house. So now I have your silly pictures of us all over the place. And anything else I could find a place for. But I also wanted to give you something just for you. Because I love you."
"Regina." Emma said.
"Yes my dear?"
"Two things. One, I love you too. More than I ever thought it was possible to love someone."
"What is number two?"
"Home is where the heart is. And my heart is 100 percent with you. You didn't have to go through all this to make me feel like this was my home. It's been my home since the very first night I stayed her."
They didn't say anything else. They just smiled and left the room. They went back to their bedroom and changed into their pajamas and cuddled into each other's arms until they fell asleep.
A/N okay, so I am so sorry about the delay with this chapter. It was kind of difficult for me to write because I wanted it to be perfect and I still feel like it isn't. But I hope you all enjoyed it and thank you so much for reading.
