Emma pushed hard for the kiss. Regina was overwhelmed. But she had started this. Did she want to stop it? Emma's hands were quickly advancing downward.

"Emma…" Regina was too quiet Emma didn't hear.

"Emma.. please stop." Regina tried again a little louder.

Emma hadn't stopped.

"No, EMMA STOP. Regina grabbed Emma's hands."

Regina wanted this but at the same time didn't. This was all too fast.

Emma went slack.

"Regina, what's wrong?" Emma looked at her hurt.

"Emma, I'm the Evil Queen. No one has touched me in years. I'm not ready for this." She pulled out of the bed and tried to walk backwards forgetting about her ankle and crashing to the floor.

"Shit Regina, I forgot!" Emma made her way over to Regina on the floor and kneeled down.

Wrapped her arms around Regina.

"Babe I am so sorry. I was half asleep I wasn't thinking…" Emma was rambling.

Regina sniffled and put her hand on Emma's arm.

"It's ok. I am fine, really." She put on a brave smile. She new Emma hadn't tried.

Emma helped her back into bed and just sat there awkwardly.

"I really want to hold you Regina and make everything better, but, I just don't know how right now. " Emma massaged her temples.

Regina took a shaky breath. Held it for a few heartbeats, then let it back out.

"Emma I wanted you to touch me. It was just, more than I was ready for. Could… would you try again? I know I have no right to ask, I'm not her but I just need to feel something right now…None of this feels real. "

"Wait you want me to try again?" Emma stared at her dumbfounded.

Regina blew out a breath she had been holding in.

"yes. Just… slower?"

Emma considered her words for a moment. Scooted closer to Regina. Set her hand on olive skin. Regina's eyes glanced down at Emma's lips then slowly back up at her eyes, slight fear showing. Emma leaned in very slowly, giving Regina plenty of time to pull away. And kissed her full lips lightly. She slowly put her hands on Regina's hips. And she let Regina control it. Regina increased the pressure and took it slow but Emma didn't mind. When Emma felt Regina slow up again she put her hands to cover Regina's on her face.

"Regina, don't push yourself. You don't have to do anything tonight."

Regina smiled. Emma placed one of her hands over Regina's heart.

"I know you are not her, not exactly. But I DO love you too." She looked back and forth between brown eyes.

Regina leaned her head in to rest on Emma's shoulder.

She was happy.

….

Regina was woken to a ringing sound. She had slept with her head on Emma's chest. She was pushing up and lightly rubbing the sleep from her rested eyes.

"Emma…"

"Crap! Henry!" Emma scrambled to reach for the phone on the side table.

"hey kid! Sorry. No we didn't forget to wake up… No I was not still sleeping… Hey kid could you stay at your grandparents a little longer your mom and I need to talk… NO HENRY IT IS NOT SO WE CAN HAVE MORE SEX! Yes I know you can just put headphones in, are we really that loud?! "

Regina's eyes went wide. Their son was talking about them not being able to keep what went on in their room a secret. Then she heard snow on the other end.

"HENRY I DID NOT NEED TO HEAR THAT!"

Regina snorted at this. Snow may be a friend to the other Regina but this one took great pride in the fact that she was doing Snow White's daughter. She could not have planned better revenge. She looked up at Emma glaring at her mouthing.

It's not funny!

Regina shot back with.

"Dear it's hysterical." Regina donned the biggest smile.
