Well here's a short update, to give you a better perspective of where this is going. (My first OUAT ship was actually rumbelle so yeah)
Enjoy!

Chapter 7

Something in Storybrooke had changed that night, but it's citizens we're unaware of the events, all apart from one. Standing at his window, Rumpelstiltskin grinned towards the moon that shone brighter than earlier.

"Rumple... Come back to bed." He turned towards his beloved Belle and his previously dark expression turned soft. As he got into the bed he wondered if Regina was aware of what was happening, if she too was currently happily sleeping next to the person she loved.

That night, Regina and Emma both stayed in their beds for approximately an hour, until Emma finally decided she needed to know if Regina felt the same towards her.

Regina pretended to sleep as she heard the footsteps approaching her room, but the blonde didn't enter. A pang of disappointment hit her and she sighed, thinking Emma had given up and gone back to her room. The brunette turned away from the door, laying on her side, knowing that if it was within sight she would never sleep.

The door to her room opened quietly and Regina froze in place. She could hear Emma's slow, careful footsteps that made their way towards the empty side of her bed. The blonde stopped and was clearly having second thoughts, but slipped into the bed next to Regina anyway, trying to be very careful not to stir the brunette.

Regina felt Emma's body shift closer to hers underneath the sheets, but they didn't touch. She heard Emma inhale deeply, and her voice sounded soon after.

"I hope you're having nice dreams, of you and me together, with Henry living as a family." The warmth from the blonde's body was too much to ignore and Regina wanted to close the space between them, "I wish I could just tell you how I feel, I want you to accept and love me..."

Her heart ached at hearing Emma say these things, and she closed her eyes, and turned towards Emma. Closing the space between them, Regina put an arm around the blonde and pulled her closer, nuzzling into her neck.

Emma blushed, thinking Regina had been listening this entire time, but the brunette seemed to be sleeping. The blonde wrapped Regina in a hug and her lips kissed the brunette's forehead, and soon both women had become warm and sleepy, and addicted to each other's touch.

Emma woke up to find Regina led on top of her, still sleeping, with her lips brushing against Emma's neck. The brunette's hand rested innocently on Emma's boob and her knee in between her legs and the frustration became too much for Emma.

As Regina seemed to awake she pressed herself closer to Emma, kissing her neck and jaw, and Emma tried to suppress a moan.

Downstairs the door opened and Henry began calling out for his Moms, which left both women scurrying to their feet, and Regina pushing Emma into the corridor. As Henry reached the top of the staircase, he came face to face with Emma and gave her a suspicious look before asking.

"What are you doing outside Mom's door?" Emma gulped.

"I um... Was just going to the bathroom." Both bathrooms were located in the opposite direction and Henry laughed.

"You must be really sleepy." Relief washed across the blonde and she walked towards the bathroom that was assigned to her, thinking that Henry hadn't caught anything on, but he had it all figured out.

Last night when he was with his grandparents he happened to overhear a conversation about how Emma felt about his Mom, and after seeing Emma's face this morning he was decided. A new operation, that had to be executed by him alone. Operation Family. He grinned and walked to his room to start planning ways to get his two favourite people inn the world together.

After breakfast, or in this case brunch, Regina informed Henry and Emma she had some business to attend to and swiftly left. They shrugged at each other, knowing whatever it was, it was probably boring work stuff.

The jingle atop the door alerted Rumple to come to the front, not surprised to see Regina.

"Well hello there, isn't this a pleasant surprise." The sarcasm in his voice was evident, but he was smirking like he knew something and Regina knew it was what she wanted to know.

"Look you imp, I have better things to be doing, so name your price and tell me what I want to know."

"Why bother dearie, when you know exactly what I'm going to tell you?" Regina grew impatient, wanting an explanation for everything that had happened up until this moment.

"So all along, you created this curse, you gave me Henry. You saw- you knew what Emma Swan was designed to do? To undo my mother's evil upon me? Rid me of my own curse?"

Rumple's eyes sparkled as he thought back to his deal with Cora, and her adamant words that Regina was destined to become Queen. But he knew better, after all he could see the future, he simply played the cards in his favour. He needed a way to find his son, and well he simply helped destiny run it's course.

"I think you'll find I merely allowed and helped things to happen as they should. Emma Swan was always going to be powerful, the product of true love, so pure it could redeem even a heart as black as yours." His words stung, and Regina knew if she allowed herself to be with Emma then she could have the family she wanted for Henry. It would be that easy and simple, if she didn't live in a town where everyone hated her.
