After the reunion and Emma telling MM and David too many stories to count, her and Regina headed off to bed in their separate rooms.
Regina paused at her door, she thought about inviting Emma in, they still hadn't heard from the others. She thought a moment too long and perhaps it was not the best. If it wasn't really cheating before it surely must be now that they were in the same land and same time. She sighed and went off to bed.
But she couldn't sleep. She had texted Emma hours ago, still no response. She stared at the ceiling for a few hours till she heard a light knock on her door.
"Come in." Henry must have had a bad dream.
The door slowly creaked open. She saw a shadow just standing in the doorway.
"Henry dear, come here, you didn't wake me. It's fine." She said stretching out her arm.
"Is it still ok if …it's me?" She heard her shy blond, her princess.
"Oh Emma…Of course dear." Patting a space on the bed.
Emma didn't move from the doorway, "Maybe I shouldn't, I'm sorry." She turned to leave.
"Emma? It's alright come here, you'll sleep better. I promise I'll be good." She hoped Emma would hear her relaxed tone and know there was nothing to be afraid of.
Emma hesitated a moment longer then closed the distance to the bed, Regina held up the covers and Emma got in. Regina put her arm around Emma.
"Dear, do you want to talk about it?" She gently asked not expecting an answer.
"Nightmare." Emma just wiggled back into Regina's body.
"Oh… it's ok dear, they'll be alright." She was trying to convince herself that she wasn't worried.
Emma turned and put her head on Regina's chest. Wrapping her arms around the other woman's middle.
"I know…"
That's how they passed the next few hours.
A/N: yes it's coming, and I'm sorry. But don't give up hope at a happy ending.
