This was Day One of Swan Queen Week. Awkward Situation. I was thinking about putting them in order, but I didn't think it mattered since they aren't linked to each other. I hoped that's ok with everyone. Also, although I didn't post them yet, there are a few other prompts I started, but didn't finish, or wasn't too pleased with how they came out. I'm going to try to tweek them up a bit and post them some time next week or so.
There's really no pinpoint with this ficlet just that it takes place sometime after the curse breaks in Season Two :)
They wanted to keep their relationship a secret, especially after the curse broke and everyone in town hated Regina for what she had done to them. But as Emma stood on her front steps in only her white tank and black poke a dot hip huggers she knew it was only a matter of time before someone walked by and caught them in the act.
"Regina please." She cried out, but as she glanced up at her bedroom window, all Emma could hear was a growl as the brunette jerked the curtains close. What the hell was she supposed to do now? Her clothes and car keys were locked inside, and Regina was beyond pissed.
"It was only a joke." She yelled up toward the window, but after another minute passed Emma knew she was going to have to find another way in.
"God, she can be so sensitive sometimes," Emma mumbled as she thought about what to do. She figured it would probably be best to go around the back of the house to find a way in since there was a lesser chance of someone seeing her back there, but before she took a step she heard a dog coming down the street. There was no way she would make it. Even if she tried, it would surely get Pongo's attention. So Emma dove in front of one of the bushes lining the walkway and curled herself up in a ball hoping the small shrub was big enough to hide her.
Pongo began to bark as they approached the front of Regina's house, and Emma held her breath as Archie tried to control his faithful friend.
"No boy, we should leave Regina's alone. She's still upset with you for going on her lawn last week remember?" The dog replied with a single bark like he understood Archie and they began to walk away without her being noticed. Emma let out the breath she was holding in, but as she stood up Mary Margaret and David came marching down the walkway, a look of shock immediately finding all three of their faces.
"Emma," her mother cried as she took in the sight of her half naked daughter.
"Hi," the savior replied with a stutter.
"Where are your clothes?" her mother asked, while her father starred off away from her, embarrassed.
"Um," she began but was suddenly interrupted.
"I can't believe you sometimes," Regina started as she flung the front door open and tossed Emma's clothes at her feet. Her rage and focus was solely on Emma neglecting to see the other couple on her walkway as she continued her tirade. "Being a cuddlier does not make me soft. You know, I could tell you stories that would…" Regina's jaw fell when she finally noticed Snow and Charming before her, David's face now a deeper shade of red than any of her apples.
"I'm sorry, what?" Mary Margaret chimed in as Emma snagged her clothes from the ground and placed them in front of her waist. Both women stood there frozen with guilt painted on both their faces.
"Um," Emma began again, but stumbled over her words.
"I think I'm going to need a little bit more than an um." Mary Margaret snapped, her eyes refusing to blink as she stared from one of them to the other.
"It's not what you think." Regina finally spoke, not doing a good job at convincing her.
"Really? My daughter is standing in front of your house half naked, and I'm supposed to assume what, she just happened to leave the house forgetting that she was only half dressed."
"Well she is a Charming." Regina stated with a cocky grin.
"Hey!" Emma shot over at her.
"Oh calm down, it was only a joke." Regina replied, "I guess I'm not the only one who's sensitive at times."
"You heard that." Emma said impressed.
"Yes, I didn't shut the window all the way. Apparently I like hearing your irritating voice even when you piss me off." Emma smirked as she took a step closer to her.
"I knew you weren't that mad at me. You just wanted to out us, didn't you?" Regina mirrored Emma's expression back at her.
"Yes dear, that was my whole master plan, to tell your parents about us in front of my house while you're in your underwear." They took another step closer to one another and Emma ran her index finger all the way up Regina's arm as the brunette's eyes traced Emma's body, licking her lips as she stopped on her underwear.
"Can I come back inside now your majesty, please?" Regina's grin intensified as she took Emma's hand and turned with authority to go back inside, but there was a loud cough behind them halting their little make up time.
"Crap," Emma said to a still smiling Regina as she turned back around to face her parents. "Sorry you had to find out about us like this. We were planning on telling you guys, but there never seemed to be an appropriate time."
"And how long has this been going on?" Snow asked, barely hanging on to her temper.
"Um,"
"Enough with the um's Emma." She snarled.
"Since the day we met."
"What?" Both parents chimed in this time. "But everything that has happened?" Mary Margaret questioned as her eyes zigzagged on the ground as she recalled the last year.
"Well, originally it was only for fun. We weren't dating or anything. Just well, you know, foolin' around," Emma glimpsed back at Regina to make sure she understood her words. "Did you notice how I said originally?" This time Regina let out a villainous chuckle.
"I've got you on edge now. I like that." Emma smirked back before returning her attention to her parents.
"But, she tried to frame me for murder." Snow said confusion taking over every inch of her face.
"Oh, I was pissed at that. I ended it actually. Hint the apple turnover." Regina nudged her playfully and Emma couldn't help but turn and place a chaste kiss to her lips. "You just wanted to break your own sleeping curse didn't you?"
"Oh shut up," Regina responded with a blushed face.
"Wait, break your own curse, but that takes."
"True loves kiss," Regina finished Mary Margaret's thought, getting a horrifying look from her in return. Regina lit up as she watched Mary Margaret process this, "ok, now we're even." She added coming up behind Emma and wrapping her arms around her waist.
Emma's parent's both stood there too shocked to say anything else.
"Look, how about we talk about this more tomorrow or something. You know, give you guys twenty-four hours to digest everything." David nodded as Mary Margaret again was too busy thinking over their last year, piecing their now obvious relationship together.
"How about you take Henry for the night?" Regina added. "He was a little shocked when we told him a few weeks ago as well, but now he's happier than ever. But please, don't grill him for information. I can take whatever questions you have tomorrow night, I'll even make dinner for the five of us." Regina was practically dragging Emma back into the house now willing to do or say anything to get the Charmings to leave.
"Is that ok with you guys?" Emma asked doing her best to resist the hungry look in Regina's eyes until she knew her parents were breathing on their own.
"That should be fine." David replied with a baffled face as he took Mary Margaret's hand to guide her in the other direction.
When the front door closed, Emma spun Regina around and slammed her against the front door.
"That was your plan all along wasn't it?" Regina only smirked in return, but Emma began to tickle her side as she held her against the door with her body.
"Ok ok, yes. I did that."
"In my underwear?"
"Oh please, you and I both know you would have come up with some other lame excuse about why you were at my house if I didn't arrange that."
"But how did you even know they would be here?"
"When you went into the bathroom after giving me that lovely treat this morning I text David asking him to meet you here right away, and with the way you throw around your little snarky remarks, I knew it would be easy to pick a fight with you and toss you out. Too bad you found your shirt though." Emma's mouth widened. She wanted to get angry that Regina tricked her into coming out to her parents, but she was too happy and aroused to let any negative emotions in. So instead, she grinded her hips into Regina while she traced her thumbs up and down the outer curves of her breast, grazing their lips against one another's.
"You wanted to tell my parents about us." She joked with a large grin.
"Oh shut up and take me upstairs you idiot." And with that, Emma wasted no time as she took Regina's hand and guided her up the stairs to celebrate their outed relationship.
