A/N Hey guys! I am so sorry for making you guys wait. I've been extremely busy with school and life. Disclaimer in the first chapter.
"So that went well." Regina says after Snow and David have left to go home.
"I wouldn't say well." Emma says as they grab the plates and take them to the kitchen.
"I expected that reaction from Snow. At least we got to tell them. They could've found out like Henry."
"That's true." Emma says sitting the plates in the sink.
"I think we scarred Henry for life."
"Probably."
"So what are we going to do now?"
"I am going to put the food away while you pick out a movie."
"Okay. Living room or bedroom?"
"Living room." Regina says as she puts the lasagna in the fridge.
Emma walks out of the kitchen and smiles when she realizes that she knows exactly which movie she's going to pick out. She's just finished setting up the movie when Regina walks into the room. Emma looks at her girlfriend and grins.
"What?" Regina asks when she notices the look on Emma's face.
"Nothing. I love you."
"I love you too." Regina says walking over to Emma and pulling her into her arms. Emma melts into her girlfriend's arms before leaning in and kissing her.
"What movie did you pick?" Regina asks when they break the kiss.
"Just wait and see."
"Okay." Regina says before going to sit down on the couch. Emma sits behind Regina and as Regina relaxes into her, she wraps her arms around her.
"Emma." Regina says when the movie starts.
"Surprise."
"Are you recreating our first date?"
"Kind of." Emma replies sheepishly.
Regina smiles as she gets lost in the memory.
"Regina." Emma says walking into the mayor's office.
"Hello Miss Swan."
"Really 'Gina? Miss Swan?" Emma asks teasingly.
"That is your name." Regina says with a grin.
"Okay. Regina I have a question to ask you."
"What?"
"Regina, will you go on a date with me?"
"Of course Emma. I've been waiting on you to ask."
"Really?"
"You didn't think I was going to let you off the hook for Neverland, did you?" Regina asks with a smirk and raised eyebrow.
"Of course not Madame Mayor." Emma says grabbing Regina and pulling her closer to her.
"Emma." Regina says relaxing into Emma.
Emma smiles before kissing Regina softly.
"Meet me at my apartment at six." Emma says pulling away and walking out of the room.
It's three hours later when we see Emma again. She's in her apartment that she shares with Henry. She's walking around her kitchen wearing an apron. She looks at the clock and her heart pounds when she hears the knock on her door. Emma removes the apron, smoothes down her dress and walks to the door. She opens it and freezes when she sees the heart stopping brunette.
Emma is not the only one who freezes when the door is opened. Regina's heart which hasn't stopped racing since Emma left her office, skips a beat when she sees the beautiful blonde in a tight curve hugging white dress.
Regina's eyes begin their slow perusal at Emma's eyes, the two locking eyes before Regina's gaze slides down Emma's body.
"Hi." Emma says.
"Hi."
"You look fantastic." Emma says winking at Regina.
"Thank you. I'm not the only one." Regina says looking into Emma's eyes.
"Come on in." Emma says, blushing under the heat of Regina's gaze.
Emma takes Regina's coat and grins when she realizes that the former queen is wearing a tight black dress.
"What are you grinning about?" Regina asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing it's just. White knight." She says pointing to herself "And Evil Queen." She says pointing to Regina.
At first Emma fears that she hurt Regina's feelings when she called her the Evil Queen. After several long seconds her fears are extinguished when Regina grins and starts laughing.
"I'm sure Snow White would think that I've corrupted her daughter."
"You can't corrupt the corrupted." Emma says grinning.
"Is that so Miss Swan?"
"Yes. I may be your white knight but I'm all shades of grey."
"My white knight?"
"Yes my Queen." Emma says before she bursts into laughter. "Come on Regina. Let's eat."
Regina follows Emma to the dining room where there is a table set with candles and roses.
"This is beautiful." Regina says, the light from the candles causing a warm glow to settle over her skin.
"Thank you. I'll be right back." Emma says when Regina sits down.
A few moments later Emma is back in the dining room carrying a large pan of something that smells amazing.
"Emma. I didn't know you could cook." Regina says with a small smile.
"Most people don't." Emma says sitting the pan down. She uncovers it and reveals to Regina a pan of grilled chicken and five cheese macaroni and cheese.
"Emma, that smells amazing." Regina says when she smells the herbs on the chicken and something in the pasta. Something she recognizes but can't place.
Regina grins when Emma pours them each a glass of wine after plating up their food. She can see Emma's hands shaking and knows the younger woman is nervous.
"Emma…" she says resting her hand on Emma's "Calm down."
"I don't know why I'm so nervous." Emma says softly.
"Emma, it's okay. I'm nervous too. Let's eat and just enjoy tonight."
"Okay." Emma says sitting in the seat next to Regina. As the two eat and talk Emma realizes something about herself. For once in a long time she is truly happy. After they finish dinner, Regina follows Emma to the living room where there are more candles and the title screen of a movie is flashing.
"The Age of Adeline." Regina says softly
"Yeah. It kind of reminds me of you." Emma says as they sit down on her couch.
"Oh. Then I'm sure I'll enjoy it." Regina says wrapping her arm around Emma.
Regina didn't make it through the movie before she fell asleep with her head tucked into the crook of Emma's neck.
"I had fun that night." Regina says snapping out of the memory.
"I did too. We were so nervous. Look at us now." Emma says.
"I love you Emma."
"I love you too Regina."
