Mending

*Disclaimer* I have no rights to the characters or the show.

Emma and Regina both have some healing needed on the inside all their broken can it get better. Or will they be to broken.

Regina was certain now that she wasn't the same person. All her years that she laid with anyone none had gave her this emotion none had her feeling what it was like to make love. To receive and know it was unconditional and for her to meaningfully give herself away. Most of all she had never returned anything she was given but this this was different.

Her body damp with a crisp sweat she calls her lovers name throughout the room softly and then a second time louder as her muscles tightened. She can feel Emma smiling against her neck that she peppers with kisses. No more than two fingers are in her caressing her walls. It feels like heaven is coursing her veins and then everything explodes as Emma slips in a third finger.

Emma curls her fingers as she thrust in and out of Regina her muscles tighten and become wetter with approval. Her name is slips from Regina's lips again an Emma can't hold back her passion anymore. She begins her way down Regina's body while still thrusting her finger deeper. She kisses from her collarbone to her perky reddened breast to her flat curved torso.

Her hand pulls Regina's leg up and she gently places kisses and nips on her tender skin. Finally appeasing her bundled up desire she takes to the flesh between her legs. Where the heat pours from where her fingers are buried and a silk white liquid coats her fingers. She doesn't remove her fingers but delightfully places her tongue on the bundle above her folds.

Regina feels the slick wet swipe of Emma's tongue tease her and a whimper escapes her. Emma's fingers continue to curl and spread her open every time she goes in and out again. The fire burning in the pit of her stomach spreads to burn her whole body but Emma's only just began teasing. Regina thrusts her hips forward and moans at the contact. Emma get the message and takes the whole bundle in her mouth.

Her hips arch without her knowledge and the feelings explode her every nerve. Bright lights flash behind her eyelids and keeps grinding her hips up. Every inch of her body shakes and burns until she feels herself cum again and again until Emma licks her clean and joins her back up by her pillows. Regina gives one last shiver before Emma lays sheets over her.

Emma will never forget this night she admits to herself still drowning in Regina's exotic intoxicating smell. She nuzzles her chest and let's the sound of her name from Regina's lips echo in her mind. She is sure Regina had never felt the need to say anyone's name before and to hear her say hers made Emma's heart swell.

"That was amazing Emma." Regina says finally finding her voice.

"I hope so." She had never except once with Henry's father made love with anyone just took people. she felt more for Regina than she'd ever felt for even Neil and she liked it. She put more passion into this one time than she felt she put in anything she'd ever done combined and she hoped it was enough for once to make someone happy.

"Yes I haven't ever felt so much from someone or given myself so willingly to anyone before. You made me feel safe and happy I couldn't help myself even if I wanted to." Regina said wrapping her arms around Emma and sighed. It was pure innocent bliss something she hadn't felt since Daniel. She wanted to cry out because she loved Daniel first and never experienced making love with him but she couldn't. This was something even Daniel couldn't give it was Emma's and that was everything she wanted and nothing more.

Regina woke up the next morning refreshed Emma wrapped around her body. She was glad she put up a sound barrier the night before because she was sure she was unusually loud. She smiled because that was ok that she let herself go for Emma. As she rolled from Emma's arms she noticed Emma was still dressed. She imagined that in the moment she just forgot. She got dressed and left the room.

Emma arose to the smell of breakfast and followed it to the kitchen. To her surprise Henry was up halfway through a pile of pancakes.

"Morning what kind of pancakes you like?" Regina hadn't even looked but spoke to Emma.

"How'd she do that?" She asked shocked to Henry he snorted.

"She has eyes in the back of her head." Henry whispered Regina gave a small laugh as she rolled her eyes at the two.

"I actually heard you shuffling into the kitchen. Now what do you like? I have eggs, bacon, pancakes, and oj."

"Mmm all of it!" Emma grinned pouring herself a glass of orange juice.

"Mom is Emma still staying at snows and David's apartment? What if they try something else?" Henry asked afraid that Emma would go home and suddenly forget them.

"Kid it wasn't really David's idea and I think snow gets the point that she can't meddle with us." Emma piped up.

"Anyways if she's willing she can stay here as long as she wants." Regina said surprising everyone. Emma gave a polite smile but kept quiet the rest of the morning till she left for work. Her quietness was unsettling for Regina.

"Emma?" She said in the privacy of her room where Emma dressed in clean clothes Regina poofed for her.

"Yes." Her response vague.

"What's wrong dear?"

"Nothing I'm just gonna go to work."

"Will I see you tonight?" She asked hopeful.

"Yes I'd like to."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes, what's on your mind?" She tucked in her shirt and curled her arms around Regina's waist.

"Just curious if you feel comfortable with me." She couldn't help her curiosity.

"Of course I am, just not use to being close to people. Why would you think I wasn't? I choose you remember." Regina blushed at her stupidity of course she chose her and now she was questioning her.

"You just made love to me and kept your clothes on and kept quiet at the notion you are welcomed here anytime."

"Those are habits like I said I'm not use to being close to people, especially when with someone let alone someone I love. I'm afraid to show myself just in case you don't like it and you don't love me anymore." To Emma's surprise that was the whole truth and it was easy to say but her gut clenched as soon as she said it. She expected the worst at all times yet there was nothing bad about what she received. Instead of Regina admitting she didn't like her body she felt Regina snake her fingers under the tucked shirt and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

"Well get use to me wanting to see you too because I love what I see and I know I'll love it more without clothes." She said pausing for breath. "Even if your ass does looks great in tight jeans."

Emma flushed tucking her shirt back in and kissed Regina before leaving. She didn't understand how so much had changed between them. Without really anything happening. She had said it was fate or destiny that brought them together and she meant it but she kept wonder would she ever feel whole? Would she ever really be enough for Regina? She spent the day think over the past few days since Neverland, since they kissed, and since they admitted how they felt.

Everything she said and done since seemed like a dream that she had dreamt since the day she first met Regina. Finally in a huff of frustration she scooped up her jacket and headed out for lunch. It was possible like most day she would see Regina but she didn't know if she wanted that just yet. She stood across the street of the dinner in an ally hoping to see if Regina was there.

She wasn't avoiding her just didn't really want to be reminded that suck a perfectly evolved woman could eventually realize she just wasn't enough. Emma knew she choose Regina but Regina hadn't chosen her at least that she knew. Content that Regina wasn't at the diner she entered and stricken up a conversation with Ruby.

A mental habit she checked to window for Regina and sure enough she was headed in.

"Can I get it to go?" She said turning back just as ruby brought her food. Her friend raised an eyebrow yet still conceded.

"You avoiding someone today?" she smirked. Emma didn't hear Regina enter and unfortunately she didn't know she watched as she took her food to go and answered.

"No just taking time to myself." She gave a smile and turned seeing Regina. She mentally face palmed herself telling herself she shouldn't have answered knowing Regina was gonna be in. She didn't let her face show her internal fight but gave a surprised one as if to say she didn't say anything just moments before.

"Oh hey just in a rush ton of work but thought something to go was better than nothing."

Regina couldn't explain how much her chest clenched at Emma's words. She could have let the pain show but she wouldn't not here in public. She offered what she knew was a fake smile.

"Mind if I join possibly I could assist?" Her hopes crushed as Emma rears out the diner giving her an apology. She see Emma practically running all the way down the street. Suddenly she didn't feel hungry and left.

"Regina! Wait." She spun on heel believing or hoping if was Emma but she frowned at the sight of red sprinting out the door of the diner.

"Miss Lucas." Her voice dry and broken against her will to force it to be cold and empty.

"Look Emma- I'm sure she- I don't know what's between you but it's sort of obvious Emma isn't use to being loved or loving, give her a chance." The woman didn't know and that made Regina sneer at first but her face softened a moment just before the waitress went to leave.

"I have no need to tell you this but I love her." Regina knew she did it was going to be hard to show it if Emma was avoiding her. Maybe the whole my house is your house was a little too much too soon she thought.

"I'll talk to her see if I can help." Red gave a kind honest smile before entering back inside the diner. Regina didn't second guess the girl she knew they were good friends despite how much the girl looked to friendly at times.

Emma reached the sherif station on a few minutes record time she threw her jumbled food on the table and started eating. She didn't need to think so she didn't. It wasn't until after she finish and cleaned up in the bathroom that she started. Looking in the mirror she saw a ridiculous girl that even though she loves someone didn't know if she could do things right. In the privacy of the bathroom a tear slipped down her face, she knew her imperfections physical and mental once she opened herself and showed Regina the woman wouldn't love her the same if she loved her at all.

She was on the floor crying to no end on the floor, she didn't hear the station door, or ruby calling for her. All she heard was the bathroom door open and ruby her friend enter. She was to far gone to stop the tears and pretend everything was fine so she let her friend see this just this once.

At the town hall Regina's phone lit up her heart pounded thinking Emma was talking to her finally but when she read the name ruby she almost put the phone aside. Then she remembered she was going to talk to Emma so she read the message.

Emma is closed in sherif station bathroom crying. Come as soon as possible. Don't freak I'll handle her till you do.

For the first time with anyone but Henry her first instinct was to jump up from the current meeting she was in and go right to Emma. She knew she could if she needed but Emma wasn't alone and ruby could talk her down till she got there so she let it go for a little longer. Finally her foot bouncing and her nails clicking was getting evident she didn't want to be here. She stood up ending the meeting though slightly early but well enough that no one would suggest otherwise.

Ruby laid Emma crossed her lap on a cell cot and smoothed out her hair. She spoke softly to Emma hoping that through her sobbing she could reach Emma but nothing seemed to work. Incoherently Emma was mumbling the whole time things ruby picked up made no sense but she let her ramble when she heard the sherif door click open and closed with no motion from Emma she knew only one thing could help.

She lifted Emma's head, resting it on the cot, and assured her she'd be right back. Walking to Regina she admitted she had no luck in soothing her and went to get a wet cloth handing it Regina and gave her best wishes. She left the station knowing if she was there when Regina helped Emma only two things would happen Emma would be embarrassed that ruby heard so much and possible make up sex.

Regina looked inside the cell Emma laid in and saw her tears fell silent but her sobs broke Regina's heart. She kneeled down in front of her and dabbed the cloth to her face.

"Emma dear it's me Regina, everything is suppose to be ok why are you upset?" Emma's sobs hitched for a moment her eyes pealed open and then clenched shut. She raised a hand the shade the light but as she opened her eyes again the blood shot look was proof enough that wasn't going to work. "It's ok Emma close your eyes just listen or talk whichever you want right now."

Giving her a minute to speak she assumed maybe Emma would rather listen but as she opened her mouth she quickly closed it when Emma finally spoke.

"I'm not.." Her silence hung for almost another minute. "Enough" together the sentence wasn't a question and all Regina could think was how could she think that believe that after Regina let herself chose to be in the fates game as well for Emma.

"Where in the world did you get that idea?" She propped Emma up and laid her in her lap and let Emma take her hand. Drawing circles with her thumb on the back of Emma's hand until she decided to speak.

"All my life its been proven. Even my parents they wanna try again because I'm not good enough," Regina could see how her parents wanting another child could make her feel that but really it wasn't true. "I can't be loved I know I'm not by anyone."

"I love you, maybe that's not enough to take away all your pain but I still love you." She looked at Emma's swollen face an knew it wasn't enough. "Your parents didn't get to see you grew teach you or support you as the child they saw one moment and a woman the next time they saw you it's hard to imagine the in between dear they just wish to make those things real. The moments they missed it's not that your not enough."

Emma slowly looked at Regina and wiped her raw face with the back of her hand. "What about physically," she knew it was not the place to ask but still asked anyways. "Am I enough."

"Emma dear even as I have seen you with only clothes yes you are enough without I'm am certain you'll be more then enough. Who ever has you believe that should have a brick to the head a million times." The smile Emma gave lifted Regina's heart. "Come on I think you need to take some time off i'll call ruby and see if she feels like coming back in and covering."

"Damn ruby! She-" Emma shot up and wiped her urgently as though she never cried in front of the girl. "She was here.."

"Yes and told me to come she knew you needed me." She said calmly letting Emma flop back down into her lap. Regina wouldn't dare hold back how she felt right now. She let her finger glide through Emma's gold locks and kissed her forehead.

As soon as she clicked her phone closed from her talk with ruby and was assured she was on her way she returned her attention to Emma. Who looked at her with question on her face. She wondered how Regina was feeling. Regina answered her with only comfort lacing her tone.

"I was hurt by what you said this morning but I knew you weren't use to feeling like this. I'm sorry I shouldn't have pushed with whole my house is your house thing-" she stopped as Emma placed a thin pale finger to her lips.

"I want that just give me time to be ready for that jump emotionally. Ok?"

"Yes, next time just speak frankly with me please Emma it breaks my heart seeing you upset. I was afraid you would go as far as leaving town." Emma frowned her eyes said never, never would she leave but her words said more.

"Remember when you wanted me gone? When did all that change? This when did this happen?" Emma asked it was then Regina realized Emma had never really seen that Regina liked her or even a notion it just happened there was no in between.

"Do you not like the way we are?" Regina felt her chest tighten hoping she wouldn't hear yes.

"No I like this, us, I'm just not sure how I dreamed this for so long and now without even a hint, a moment, or anything here we are."

"Maybe you just was so oblivious to the obvious." She teased lightly. "I stopped wanting you gone the moment you saved me from the fire and Henry from the mines. I wanted you gone brief moments like when I tried to curse you, but I hurt Henry instead and when you saved him again I wanted you more. When you gave up yourself to save me from losing my soul the one thing nobody believed I had anymore I wanted you back more than anything." Regina knew how often her eyes lingered and her body pulled to Emma long long before now. "I knew the night we met that you were going to be something special to me. I felt the same spark you did."

The two women heard ruby pull up to the station. Emma sat up and attempted to pull herself more together. As ruby walked in Emma made herself breathe an walked to the woman. She gave her a quick tight hug and thanked her. Ruby looked to Regina with a wink and smile as she returned Emma's hug she told her anytime. It was when Emma looked to Regina she got up and knew it was time to go. Regina hugged ruby.

"Thank you I suppose your not as bad as I thought." Regina grinned at the girl.

"Still bad though." Ruby taunted back. With that Regina took Emma and a cloud of purple consumed them taking then to Regina's. She wouldn't doubt Emma didn't want to deal with her parents at the moment and Henry was in school for the moment.

"Is this ok?" she asked before leading her to the couch. With a nod she sat her down and brought her a glass of water and a bag of ice. "Let me take a look at you." Slowly she held Emma's blonde strands aside as drank. Emma love her touch it soothed her to no end. She felt a little refreshed and looked at Regina with strength in her eyes again. She winced as Regina dabbed the cold ice to her swollen cheeks but held still in her hold.

Emma made a promise to herself right then looking into Regina's amber brown eyes to never let herself break like thy again. She could see how Regina's own eyes shimmered at the sight of Emma now and she hated that she all by herself caused her own pain and now her loves. She kept her eyes locked then those same shimmering brown eyes found hers and they lit up with hope for her and Emma told herself that promise again and added that she would keep that light in her eyes.

Regina let her fingers trace Emma's bottom lip which she seemed to have habitually chewed at. Regina saw Emma making some sort of mental change a promise and she wanted to ask what but didn't want to ruin anything with words. She simply let her lips gracefully melt into Emma's. A burning tingle between them made Regina smile as she knew what was happening. When she took herself away to see Emma's lip healed she was curious to see if she could continue to do it and leaned into kiss the swollen bits under Emma's eyes.

Emma could have swore with every kiss Regina gave her she felt more refreshed. Even the butterfly kisses over her eyes made her feel better. When she opened her eyes once more everything was brighter and clearer. It wasn't aching her head it was as if her tears never shed making her sensitive to light. Her gaze met with a beautiful smile from Regina she understood when had happened. The tingles she felt were more than the spark she thought it was.

"Did you just heal me?" Emma asked leaning into Regina's personal space. Right then all Emma wanted was for Regina to heal her more just the way she needed.

"Physically but the rest is up to you dear." Regina would if she could make her better but she couldn't the only thing she could do was show her how beautiful she was to her. "You're beautiful inside and out."

Regina didn't know it but those words echoed to every thought Emma had and gave Emma what she needed to start healing inside too. She pressed their lips together. It was passionate, instantly Regina melted into her, and again this slated her negative thoughts.

Regina flushed as her hands freely roamed Emma's body. For the first time she felt Emma give in and let Regina pull her closer. Emma was giving Regina her something she wanted last night but failed to express. With that thought she wouldn't waste this chance.

Her body burned and her kisses connected with heat leaving Emma panting into her ear as she peppered her jaw and neck. Her finger fondled the buttons of Emma's shirt to focused to correctly undo them. Thankfully it was only the third button she was able to undo when the front door rattled.

"Shit!" Regina looked at the clock in the room not realizing that she had missed picking Henry up. "Henry, hurry." She closed her eyes and shook her head trying to clear her mind. The door opened.
