The following morning, Regina is greeted by Queen Snow in the sewing room.
"Good Morning your majesty" Regina greets and Snow smiles at her.
"Hello Regina. How are you finding life here at the castle now?" she steps forward and looks around. Surveying the room.
"Fine. I mean its better than fine" she smiles tightly, remembering the conversation about Emma they had a while ago.
"Good. I am actually hear to tell you that I need a dress taken in at the waist and I have the measurements on this piece of paper for you" she hands over the parchment.
"Yes of course" Regina replies and takes the parchment.
"You shall have three days to make to adjustments and a maid shall bring you the dress this afternoon"
This causes Regina to raise an eyebrow. As Emma had not mentioned an upcoming event, that is so soon.
Snow then pauses and picks up a piece of patchwork that is laid upon a table and she inspects it, while asking "I was wondering Regina. Has Emma mentioned anything to you about the recent visitor we have had to the castle?" She then says, trying to sound casual but she comes across as nosey.
Regina swallows.
"Well...Not exactly"
Snow now looks up at her curiously.
"I mean, she said the man was nice" Regina adds, feeling uncomfortable.
"Surely she told you more than that?, as you both seem to be best friends nowadays" she says a little forcefully. It makes Regina wonder if Snow resents this.
"She may of said that she told him they could be friends" Regina then says and takes a breath. Hoping Snow can't see right through her and see, that she and her daughter are more than friends.
Snow frowns.
"Yes, that is what she had told me aswel" Snow replies, more to herself than to Regina and she puts the patchwork down and walks to the door.
"I shall visit you again in two days time to see your progress"
"Yes your majesty"
Snow then gives a nod and small smile and then leaves, while Regina sighs and mutters "She's never going to allow me to be with Emma" sadly.
Twenty minutes later, Emma comes strolling into the sewing room and smiles upon seeing Regina concentrating, on a dress that looked like her mothers.
"What you doing?" Emma says casually and grins. While Regina looks up and smiles at Emma, before saying "I have to take the waist in a little for your mother, as there is an event coming up"
"What event?" Emma asks, tilting her head, watching Regina.
"You do not know?" Regina replies surprised.
"No, she has not mentioned no event. just an important meeting that her and dad have to go too"
"That must be it then" Regina replies and then finds herself being pulled away from her work and is being held in Emma's strong arms.
She can't help but chuckle. Until Emma kisses her neck and she gasps.
"I like it when you do that" Emma says softly and Regina starts to blush.
"I forget you are quite strong princess" Regina then teases, as she feels Emma's strong hold.
"I am" Emma mutters lowly and then leans up to kiss Regina's full lips.
"Mmm" Regina hums and forty seconds later, Regina has to pull back and says "As much as I want to do that all day. I have little time to do this dress"
Emma pouts and doesn't let go of Regina.
"Do you want me to lose my job Emmah?" Regina then asks softly, as she reaches out runs her hand throw blonde locks, as she searches Emma's eyes.
"Of course not, thats the last thing I want to do. As I'd never see you" she frowns at the thought and realeases Regina from her hold.
"Then later, I shall meet you in the libary" Regina says and smirks. Before giving a chaste kiss and moving away to continue her work. While Emma's frown turns into a smile.
In the libary that evening, Regina is chasing Emma around the table. As the blonde had taken the book she was reading away from her.
"I'm gonna get you, if its the last thing I do Emmah" Regina grins wickedly.
"But I'm already yours" Emma says back with a wide smile and Regina can't help but beam at the meaning.
"Come here now" Regina then says seriously, as she stops and puts her hands on her hips. While watching Emma on the otherside of the table.
"Reg-gina" Emma then moans and Regina laughs. Causing all sorts of flutters within the blonde princess she loves Regina's laugh.
"Give me a good reason too and I will" Emma then teases.
"Fine" she takes a breath "Because I want to continue reading that book" she gestures to Emma's hands.
"How can I refuse, when you put it like that" Emma then says sarcastically but chuckles but Regina huffs. Making Emma cave in and she steps towards and hands the book back to Regina.
"Sorry" she mutters and Regina smirks.
"How sorry?" Regina asks.
"Really sorry" Emma pleads with puppy eyes, even though she wants to laugh.
"Hmm" Regina narrows her eyes and then, that wicked smile appears on her face at an idea that has just poped into her head.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Emma asks curiously and Regina puts the book down upon the table and says "Do you really want to know..." in a deep husky voice, which makes Emma swallow.
"Um..yeah" she says low and Regina smirks stepping forward and pulling Emma over to the nearest wall and pressing her against it and passionatly kisses the blonde. Who had gasped, when Regina pulled her and then realizing what was going on had started kissing back, just as passionatly.
Regina then presses their bodies together and Emma feels her heart begin to pound harder and she runs wraps herself around the brunnette and all she can think is I love you...
The libary door then opens, after a long moment and Regina jumps back upon hearing a "Oh my.."
Both women are wide eyed and breathing heavily, as they look at Henry. Who doesn't know what to say or do, even though he had suspected that his daughter and Emma were now more than friends.
"Father.." Regina says shakily.
"Sorry for interupting..I'm just..going to go to my room for abit" he then says and walks out of the door and closes it. Leaving Regina and Emma still looking at the door.
Emma then looks to Regina and says "Regina.."
Regina looks to her.
"Its okay Emma. He knows how I feel about you. I just hadn't told him yet, that we had acted upon our feelings"
"Really?" she says in surprise, as she tries to get the thought of Regina's body pressed against her own out of her mind.
"Yes. I should have told him days ago but I think, I just wanted it to between us for a while. Before anyone starts to judge us"
Emma smiles.
"I should go to speak with him" Regina then says and grips her hands together but Emma untangles them and kisses the back of Regina's hand.
"Do you want me to come with you?" she asks softly.
Regina's heart swells and Emmas action and words.
"I think It best I talk to him alone but thankyou, I appreciate the offer"
Emma nods slightly and looks in brown eyes.
"Do you think you will be long?" she asks softly.
"No. Not long" Regina replies, as she stares back at Emma.
Theres a pause.
"Okay...I shall wait here for you to return" Emma then says and realeases Regina;s hand.
"Okay" Regina replies with a smile and soft eyes, before walking to the door and looking back briefly with a full heart. Before, then going to find her father, to explain everything...
