"My parents have gone" Emma says eagerly, as Regina opens her chamber door.
"When shall they be back?" Regina asks and is curious as to why Emma looks so happy about it.
"Late afternoon"
"Oh"
They both share an adoring look, until Emma grabs Regina's hand and says "Come..I have something planned"
"Oh and what is that?" Regina replies with a smile, as she is lead forward.
"Come and see" Emma grins and Regina shuts her chamber door, then lets herself be lead to the stables where Emma says "I thought you may like to go out, I have brought breakfast"
Regina smiles widely and says "Of course you brought breakfast"
Emma chuckles.
"Good morning ladies" Graham says, as he comes to stand opposite both.
"Hey" Emma greets.
"I have saddled your horse and I presume your heading out into the field today?" he asks. Looking between the pair.
"You would be right" Emma beams "We are going to have breakfast too" she holds up the small basket.
"I noticed princess"
He then turns and goes to bring the horse out and Regina takes the raines and begins to walk out. Leaving Emma briefly with Graham, watching her.
"I take it your parents know nothing of this" Graham asks, now looking to her.
Emma goes wide eyed briefly.
"Um, well..." she can't look at him.
"I will take that as a yes"
"Please don't tell them. My mothers already on at me about spending to much time with Regina" Emma confesses sadly.
Graham nods.
"Of course. I've known you for a long time princess and I have never seen you more happy than you are right now. I don't want to ruin that"
Emma smiles at him.
"Are we going or what Princess?" Regina then calls out, not liking the way Graham is looking at Emma.
"YEAH" Emma shouts back and makes her way over to Regina and then they go out into the field. Where they settle under the tree as before and eat their breakfast whilst talking about everything and nothing and sharing sweet kisses.
When they return to the castle, they go to Emma's chambers.
"Your bed is so comfortable" Regina says, as she lays on her back on Emma's bed, looking up at the ceiling.
"I wish you could stay here with me everynight" Emma then says with a sad smile, as she gets on the bed next to Regina.
Regina smiles at the thought.
"Do you think my parents would eventually accept us, if we tell them?" Emma then says, biting her lip.
Regina's smile falls and is replaced by a frown.
"I do not know but I get the feeling your mother resents us even being friends"
Emma leans up and looks seriously at Regina.
"Why do you think that?"
"The way she speaks to me about you"
"What has she said?"
"Oh nothing...just that you should be concentrating on other important things"
"Oh like finding a husband" Emma spits and crosses her arms.
Regina leans up and undo's Emma's arms and takes her hands in hers.
"Emma..maybe you should find a husband..." she says sadly.
"WHAT" Emma snaps and pulls her hands back and looks at Regina in disbelief.
"Your parents will never allow us..." Regina explains.
"I don't care Regina. Can't I choose who I want to be with?" she snaps.
"Of course"
"I choose you Regina"
Regina smiles.
"And I choose you Emmah" she replies softly.
"Then theres nothing they can do or say, as I do not want no one else" Emma says defiantly and it melts Regina's heart.
"I love you" Emma then says with feeling and it makes Regina's heart stop and she stares at Emma. Who looks down and reaches for Regina;s hand.
"You don't have to say it back" Emma then mumbles and it makes Regina's heart start again and the words are out of her mouth before she can think about it "And I love you"
Which makes Emma's head shoot back up, her eyes widening as a goofy grin appears upon her face.
"Really?" she asks and it makes Regina smile widely.
"Yes really"
"Oh my god Regina" Emma beams and lunges forward and peppers Regina with sweet kisses and the brunette cant help but laugh and a long moment later, Emma is laid on top of Regina looking into her eyes.
Their gazes hold for a long moment, until Emma says "Take me to bed" in a slightly shaky voice, which makes Regina gasp.
"Are you sure?" Regina asks softly.
"Yeah..I've never been more sure about anything in my life" she smiles and Regina beams and begins to kiss Emma deeply. Wanting nothing more than to do this and Emma and show her how much she loves her.
Sometime later, Regina is holding Emma in her arms and the blonde has her head on Regina's chest.
"That..that was amazing" Emma mumbles in awe.
"I know.." Regina says back hoarsly and smiles, as she rememebers tasting Emma's sweetness and my was she sweet.
"We have..we have to do that again soon" Emma says in awe, which makes Regina's smile widen.
A moment later she says "Definatly..Although I think maybe you should try being a little quietier as I don't want that guard knocking on the door again" she chuckles.
"I couldn't help it Regina and I'm glad I locked that door when we came into the room" she grins.
"Hmm" Regina beams. Pleased with herself and a long moment later, Emma says "I never knew it could be..like that.."
"Like what my love?" Regina asks.
"Magical"
Regina lifts an eyebrow and thinks it was definatly magical alright and before she can reply Emma says "I wish we could stay here like this for the rest of the day"
Regina frowns.
"Maybe someday soon" Emma then adds and Regina hopes so. She hopes for the possibility of a happy ending.
An hour later, Emma's parents return and Snow finds Emma and Regina in Emma's chamber but luckily they are dressed again and just sitting upon the remade bed.
"Emma.." a voice says and the door opens.
Emma and Regina look wide eyed to the door and break hand contact.
"Oh.." Snow says upon seeing Regina sat there.
"Hello your majesty" Regina greets, trying to get on the Queens better side.
"Hello Regina. What are you two up to?" she asks, looking between the pair.
"Nothing mom" Emma replies and stands up. Walking to her dresser. "Just talking"
Snow tilts her head and watches Emma. Who seems to have a glow about her.
"I am surprised you two have so much to talk about" she remarks and Emma looks to her with a frown. catching her mothers snide remark and she wonders why her mom can't just accept that Regina is a big part of her life.
"Anyway" Snow then says "Our meeting went rather well and I'm pleased to announce that you shall be meeting a rather dashing gentleman in a few days time and I just know you will fall for him and your engagment will be within a month.
Emma and Regina gape at her.
"You are so well matched sweetheart"
"Mom" Emma then warns.
"What is it?"
"I will not marry him"
"You havent even met him yet"
"I know..but..I can't.." she shakes her head and can't believe her mom still persists with bringing men here to try and pair her off with.
"What do you mean?" Snow asks, looking confused.
Emma now looks to Regina, who is wide eyed and can see that Emma wants to tell her mother about them but she pleads through her eyes for Emma not to tell her. As she knows they will be separated from eachother forever and most likely, she will be banished and that would hurt more.
"I..I just don't want to be forced into anything" she replies sadly and looks back to her mom.
"Oh sweetheart of course not and if you don't like this man, then that will be okay just give it a chance yes?"
Emma nods and Snow looks to Regina and says "I think you father is looking for you"
"Oh, okay..thankyou your majesty" she stands and looks to Emma "I shall go and find him..Ill see you later"
Emma nods and watches Regina leave and her mother following behind. Whilst thinking, What am I going to do...
A/N Its going to be taken out of Emma's hands next chapter, as Snow see's Regina and Emma in a sweet intimate moment.
