Engine roaring, Emma didn't slow for anything. No one else was out this late, let alone on the same windy roads they were on. The nights air flowed through the open windows, blasting at them.

Lily couldn't hide the feeling of being alive. Escaping the rest of existence with the one person she craved to be around. And the look on Emma's face glorified it. The beauty on her made the sun seem pointless, because nothing could be brighter than her. If it wasn't dangerous she would've kissed her.

Winding through the roads, Emma made it look easy. Like she was born there. Her eyes could've been closed and she wouldn't have missed a beat.

Slowing down, they eventually reached wherever Emma had been driving them to. Lily glanced over, and was unable to not have her way with the sheriff.

Emma draped her jacket over the slightly shivering Lily, pulling her closer after putting her clothing back on.

"C'mon, I want to show you something."

"In all of this fog?"

"Don't worry, it'll be clear."

"Alright." Emma opened the door and got out. Lily tried handing Emma back her jacket, but she wasn't going to have it. She grabbed Emma's hand, following her lead. They hiked through an off beaten trail, until at a well. True to her word, the fog was clear where they were.

"Someone showed me this when I came here.. They said magical things happen at the well."

"You believe that?" Emma shrugged.

"It's more of a tradition."

"Pretty cool, Swan." She smiled at her.

"Hey, it's also a nice place to get away with a date."

"This is a date?" Lily mocked, teasingly.

"I don't just sleep with strangers."

"I don't recall any actual sleeping, though."

"That'll come later." She claimed a kiss from Lily, and was held there for many more.

Only when the rubbing of eyes and many yawns came, did they walk back down to the car. Instead of driving to Grannies, Emma went straight home. Her hand never left Lily's, not even when they snuck inside. Too tired to care, Lily followed. Although tired, her hands and lips couldn't stay off of Emma.

Lily woke throughout the night, still wrapped in Emma's arms. Moving and leaning into her. She kissed her forehead and settled back to sleep.

For probably the first time ever, Emma woke up first. Rubbing the tiredness from her eyes, she sat up. Lily was out cold, unphased by her moving around in the bed. She stretched before slipping out of the bed and making her way down the stairs.

"Whoa. Mom. Didn't expect you awake."

"I didn't even think you were home." Snow looked up from the fridge, carrying a handful of various ingredients. "When did you get home?"

"Crap, I don't even know."

"Do you want some lunch?"

"Mm.. No." Emma had been pouring two bowls of cereal, and only eating one, of which Snow noticed but didn't say a word. "Regina is out of town for a few days, so Henry is going to spend a couple of days here. I told him since I won't be home for dinner to head down to the station with dad."

Snow quirked her eyebrows. "Oh? Do you have a date?"

Emma didn't respond, cuing Snow to start teasing.

"Is it Killian?"

"No." A solemn answer, monotone voice.

"It is!" She squealed delightfully.

"You and dad just leave it alone, alright? When I want you to meet them, you will."

"Oh alright. That had better be soon, though."

Groaning, Emma headed up the stairs to her sleeping beauty whom was still resting. She set the bowl on the end table, and climbed into the bed with Lily's back to her. Still sleeping. Hoping to exempt revenge, she placed her hands on Lily's bare back, rubbing her softly. Instantly waking, Lily groaned.

"Your hands are freaking cold, Swan."

Turning her over, Emma kissed her forehead.

"Payback is a bitch, eh Page? I brought you breakfast." She murmured into her ear, kissing around it.

"I'm still sleeping.." Ignoring her complaint, Emma kept trying to wake her.

"Too bad, I already poured the milk. You can't waste a perfectly good bowl of cereal."

"Damn.. You're right." Lily sat up and ate.

Shortly after she finished eating, they had wound up in each others arms, holding hands. Emma kissed Lily's wrist where her birthmark was.

"I remember when you drew this on me. The feeling it gave me."

Lily smiled at her, taking Emma's right hand. "I know it's not same, but.." With her finger she traced the same mark onto her skin, barely pressing. "I still meant everything back then.." Emma cut her off, lips covering Lily's mid sentence.

"It's more than before could ever mean." Smiling into the kiss, Lily cupped Emma's cheeks, pulling her on top of herself. Emma was lost in the moment, kissing down Lily's jaw as she moaned. Her neck was being sucked and kissed, gently bitten.

Staring wide-eyed, Snow didn't expect to see any of this. She thought Emma was alone. A small gasp escaped her lips, quickly concealed by her lips but it was too late. Emma had heard her, and turned. Horror was evident. Lily opened her eyes and saw Snow; licking her lips, she glanced between the two women, looking to Emma for an answer. Heart racing for various reasons.

"I'm so, so, so, so sorry!" Snow kept her hand over her mouth, before turning around and sprinting down the stairs.

"What the hell was that?" Lily pushed herself up to her elbows.

Emma had climbed off of her, nervously heading down the stairs after her mother.

"What did you want?"

"David's been looking for you for an hour.. You're gay?" Snow didn't miss a beat.

That explains quite a lot, she thought to herself, but it also caught her by surprise.

Emma was furiously red, blushing with embarrassment.

"Since when?"

"Are we really having this conversation?" Emma was caught in a tough situation, but worse off, Lily could hear every word.

"Yes. Since you live with me, and I am your mother. Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"Because my sexuality isn't something that needs to be flaunted around."

"No, not that... I don't mean that. It just would have saved you all the trouble of us trying to set you up with someone."

Emma's eyes narrowed, a certain Killian and August coming to mind.

"How long have you two been dating? Does Henry know?"

"It's complicated."

Lily felt her heart shatter. Of course they weren't dating. It was just for a week. Once again, another fling with Emma while they were in each others lives. That didn't stop it from hurting.

"Then..?"

"Mom, it's complicated. Is that all you needed?"

"Y-yes. Sorry, Emma. I wouldn't have gone up there if I had known you had company."

Dreading coming home, Emma quickly raced up the stairs back to Lily. She apologized, but the moment was gone.

"You have work, don't worry. I should get going anyway. I'll see myself out." Emma tried to stop her, but Lily wasn't having it. She went faster than the other two, and took off once out the door.

Sure, she had no idea where she was going, but that didn't take her mind off of the broken heart in her chest.
