Emma pulled Regina into their bedroom and as soon as they crossed the threshold she turned to her, intent shining in her eyes, but she froze the moment she looked into Regina's. "Uh…what um…how does this work?" She managed to stutter out.

Regina took a moment to study her wife and she could see the panic setting in. She reached up and took Emma's face in her hands and leaned forward, ghosting her lips over Emma's before speaking. "First, you need to breath." Regina waited until she heard her take several deep breathes before she continued. "Second, we take off our clothes. Third, we climb into bed and forget we're trying to make a baby."

"But…how?" Emma whispered, her eyes searching Regina's for an answer. "I don't want to screw this up." Emma reached up laced her fingers together with Regina's, holding them in place, their presence grounding her.

"Emma, listen to me," Regina paused and kissed the lips in front of her. "You can't screw this up. Do you feel me?" Regina pulled Emma in closer and opened herself up more to their connection, allowing Emma to fully experience what she was feeling in that moment.

Love, excitement, determination, tenderness, and protectiveness all swirled inside Emma and she managed a half smile. "I can't screw this up because we're in this together."

"Exactly, my dear. And I don't fail. At anything." Regina smiled again and pulled her hands down from Emma's face. "Let's get you undressed shall we?" Regina led her over to the bed and gently shoved her down onto it. Without any hesitation Regina knelt down in front of her and began unlacing her boots. After she released one foot she glanced up at Emma to find her studying her, her half smile still in place. They both knew that Regina Swan-Mills didn't kneel for anyone and in that moment Emma knew just how much it meant.

Before she knew it her other foot had been released and Regina was once again on her feet. With a smirk she pushed Emma onto her back and made quick work of the button and zipper on her jeans. She began tugging them over slender hips and when she got them down to Emma's thighs she laughed out loud. "Eager much?" She asked, continuing to pull the jeans off her.

"I figured it would save us some time…I'm not wearing a bra either." Emma didn't usually feel comfortable under this much scrutiny, but tonight she was enjoying the way Regina was taking care of her.

"Now that I had noticed. You really were enjoying that chicken pot pie…" Regina laughed and much to her own horror shrieked a little when their positions were suddenly shifted and she found herself on her back on the bed. Emma slipped her heels off quickly and made even quicker work of her dress slacks. Instead of just letting them pool on the floor Emma carefully laid them out on the chair in the corner and pulled her own shirt over her head before turning back to the bed.

Regina had sat up and was in the excruciatingly slow process of unbuttoning her shirt one button at a time, her eyes never leaving Emma's. After what seemed like an eternity she finally reached the last one and the shirt fluttered open revealing a lacy black bra. She stood up in front of Emma, turning slowly so she faced away from her, her silent request immediately taken.

Emma slid the shirt from her shoulders and tossed it onto the chair with her pants and unhooked her bra. She used both her hands to push the straps off Regina's shoulders and down her arms, taking advantage of their closeness by nipping at her neck. She continued her hands' path down the perfectly sculpted body in front of her once the bra had fallen away and hooked her fingers in the sorry excuse for underwear pulling them down to the floor. She ran her hands back up over tight calves, her fingernails scratching over thighs and the curved hips in front of her. She felt Regina shudder a little under her touch and she kissed her shoulder, wrapping her arms around her and kneading her breasts as she continued her onslaught up her neck. She nipped at her ear when she reached it and buried her face in brown hair, breathing in the smell that always lingered there-home.

"Emma…" Regina just let herself be held in the moment, allowing the feeling of being wanted so deeply wash over her before she moved from Emma's grasp towards the bed. She sat cross-legged with her back towards the headboard and gestured to Emma to sit in front of her. Confused, Emma just continued to look at her. "I want you to lay down in front of me. Right here." She gestured again and this time Emma understood the request. She laid down, scooting herself as close to Regina as possible, wrapping her legs around the woman, stretching out in front of her, hands above her head.

"Beautiful." Regina whispered, taking in the sight of Emma laying open in front of her. She began running her hands up and down Emma's thighs, dipping closer and closer to her center with each pass, sometimes drifting up past her hips and over her taunt stomach and back down. Changing tactics after a few minutes, she started to massage Emma's thighs, her hands digging into hard muscles higher and higher on her legs. When she reached the top of her legs she pushed them open wider and used both her thumbs to ghost over the silky wet folds, Emma's arousal visible. Emma moaned at the contact and tried to lift her hips up, wanting more pressure.

Regina continued the soft strokes, using the palms of her hands to keep Emma pinned to the bed. Up and down, up and down, she continued the torture, the pattern never varying and never deepening, Emma's legs tensing and trying to clench together desperate for something more. Emma's hands moved to her own breasts, kneading and pinching and pulling at her hard nipples, the sight of her coming undone so thoroughly spurred Regina on even more.

"Regina…please…" Emma whimpered, her glazed eyes seeking brown ones, begging for a release she knew wasn't coming yet.

"Please what?" Regina asked, her thumbs never stopping their motion.

"I need…" Her voice broke off into a moan as she rolled her own nipple between her fingers harder than before, needing the feeling to ground her. "I need more Regina, please."

"Like this?" Regina asked as she slid one finger up through her wet folds, just grazing her hard clit before sliding back down, making sure she stayed a breath away from her entrance. "Or like this?" She asked before pushing her finger forward, sliding inside easily and pulling it back out slowly. The whimper Emma let out almost made Regina give in, but she stayed determined when Emma's hips lifted again. She used both her hands to push them back down and shifted so that she was on her knees. Leaning down she kissed Emma's stomach, her head sliding down further, using her tongue to trace the path her finger had just made. "All in good time my love." She said as she kissed a path back up her stomach, capturing a nipple between her teeth, sucking and biting and pulling. Her free hand palming Emma's other breast, her knee inching closer to where she needed the pressure the most.

Emma's hands found their way to Regina's back, nails scratching up the length of it before she buried them in brown locks. She gripped her hard, her hands making fists as she held her mouth to her breast a moment longer before pulling it up and feasting on it with her own. Lips clashed together, their tongues swirling, teeth nipping and pulling. Emma's hips were moving, trying to grind against the woman above her but never finding purchase. She used the grip she still had on her hair to pull her back slightly and growled out, "Now….please."

Regina paused, staring down at Emma watching her face as she moved her hand where it was wanted and slid two fingers inside, slowly pumping them in and out. As Emma's hips began to meet her thrusts with more and more abandon she buried her head in the crook of Emma's neck and whispered, "Emma please, I need you too…"

Emma released one of her hands tangled in her hair and slid it down to Regina's center, rubbing her hand over the drenched folds a few times before pushing three fingers inside. The gasp from Regina worried Emma for a split second that it was too much before her hips started moving above her, each thrust bringing her in deeper.

"Oh god…that's…Emma…" Regina moaned again, feeling herself hurtling closer and closer to the edge with each pump. "Get me pregnant Emma…"

Emma cried out when she heard those words fall from Regina's lips, sending her instantly over the edge and with a curl of her fingers she sent Regina falling with her.

They stayed wrapped up in each other's arms for several minutes neither wanting to break the spell they were under. Finally Regina began to pull back slightly, just enough to pepper kisses along Emma's neck and up her jawline towards her lips. "I love you." She whispered, before capturing them for a kiss. A few tears had leaked out the corners of her eyes and when Emma noticed them she untangled her arm to wipe them away.

"I didn't hurt you did I?" She asked, worried that she'd been too rough.

Regina shook her head no. "No, never. It was just…it was overwhelming how much I felt you…" She snuggled back down into Emma's embrace and tucked her head under her wife's chin. "I felt you need me. I never want to be without you…"

Emma kissed the top of Regina's head softly. "You'll never have to be. Let's get some sleep now." She dragged the covers over them with her free hand and wrapped it back around Regina once she had them tucked in as good as she could. Drifting off to sleep, her smile never faded.

"Hello?" Regina said, answering her office phone on the first ring.

"Hi Regina! It's Katherine."

"Hi." Regina could practically hear Katherine's excitement bubbling through the phone.

"Can you leave work early? I have news." She asked, the hopefulness obvious in her voice.

"I suppose I could. Is there a reason you can't just swing by the office?"

"Regina." Katherine sighed heavily into the phone.

"Fine. What time would you like to meet?" Regina smiled into the receiver. Whatever had her friend so excited was probably going to be worth cutting out an hour early.

"Meet you at your place at 4?"

"That sounds good. Do I get a hint?"

"No."

Click.

"I can't believe she just hung up on me." Regina said to her empty office. She pulled out her phone and sent a quick text to Emma to let her know she was going home early to meet Katherine. A few minutes later her phone beeped with a response.

Weird. Ruby just asked me to meet her at the diner after work. Do you think they're planning something?

Regina was highly doubtful that the two had gotten together to plan any such thing, but it never hurt to be cautious.

I doubt it, but keep me posted. I wouldn't put it past your mother to ambush us…

Regina.

Regina laughed to herself. She was certainly in fine form today.

Fine. Just text me if you're going to be too late. Love you.

K. Love you too.

Regina slid her phone back in her purse and started working on finishing up what she needed to before she had to head home.
