A/N: Alright, another shorter one, but the next chapter is going to be a long, drama and action filled one, so I wanted to make this one shortish and sweet. SMUT!
When Snow finally emerged from behind the curtain that concealed her and David's bed and saw Regina she jumped. She cinched the opening of her robe together and cleared her throat.
"What are you doing here?" Snow spat.
"I came for a little chat, hmm? Why don't you have a seat dear?"
"How dare you?"
Regina stared at her, waiting. Finally Snow huffed and sat down on the opposite end of the table.
"What do you want?" the younger woman asked bitterly.
"You owe an apology to Emma."
"You have the audacity to talk to me about my daughter? The one I'm losing again, because of you?" The inflictions in her voice made Regina roll her eyes.
"Don't you dare blame me this time! I love her. I would never keep her from anyone she wanted to be with." Regina was shouting in her anger, causing Charming to run out valiantly in his boxers to protect her. When he saw it was Regina he sighed and sat next to Snow.
"What more do you want from me?" Snow asked.
"I want nothing from you. I only want Emma's happiness. How can you be so fine with hurting her? She's good, the most good I've ever seen and you're her mother! You shouldn't be hurting her!" Regina was still yelling, but schooled her anger in before speaking again. "You may never believe that what you did to me was cruel, I don't care anymore. But Snow, I am truly sorry for what I did. For your father, for all the people I killed, for all the damage I caused. I'm sorry I kept you and your Prince apart for so long, because now I can understand how that would hurt. I am not sorry for the curse. I hate that place; it is not my home. My home is where Emma and Henry are. If it was not for the curse, I would not have either of them, so again I'm really not sorry for the curse. I'm also sorry that you felt the need to express your desire for another child as Emma being "not what you wanted," you may not have raised her, but you couldn't have wished for a better daughter."
Snow gasped in frustration and anguish.
"So, Snow White, what I want from you is for you to stop being selfish and to accept your daughter, my True Love, accept her happiness and join her in it. Be happy for her. Be the mother she wants to know. She loves you and she needs your acceptance. Just give it to her."
Snow stared at Regina for several moments considering how to respond but finally she nodded. "Ok, Regina, you're right. I only want for Emma to be happy. I forgive you. And I'm very sorry for Daniel, for telling your secret. I'm sorry again about your mother."
Regina's jaw tightened and she curtly nodded. "If you are big enough to forgive me, then I too can forgive you." She cleared her throat. "Now, I know you still don't approve, but we would like to have you two over for dinner tonight. Will 6:30 do?" Snow and David nodded their agreement and Regina left.
Emma woke to Henry reading out loud from the novel that Regina had had on her nightstand. She looked over at him, curious about where Regina was, so she asked.
"She said she had to run errands and then would bring breakfast."
"Errands? It's barely dawn."
"I don't know. She just told me she wanted me to come in here in case you woke up."
It dawned on her what Regina would be doing and she jumped out of bed, ushering Henry out of the room. Shuffling through a bag she found jeans and a tank top, quickly dressing herself in them. She pulled on boots and stormed down the stairs toward the door intent on stopping Regina from whatever she planned to do with Snow. Before Emma could make it to the door, Regina stepped inside.
"What did you do?" Emma asked, eyes wide.
"We can discuss this later," Regina responded, looking to the stairs where Henry was now standing.
"Did you hurt grandma?" the boy's voice asked, scared.
"Of course not, dear." She held out the bags from Granny's. "Henry, would you take these and set the table? Your mom and I will meet you in to eat momentarily." After Henry was out of the room, Emma looked questioningly at Regina.
"Emma, you still believe it would be so easy for me to cause you pain?"
"I…I just…after what I said last night, I was uncertain how you would take it."
"Snow and I…we made amends I suppose. She and your father are coming tonight for dinner."
"Wh…what? You hate her!"
"I can't hate someone so important to you, my dear."
Emma grasped Regina's shoulders and pulled her in tightly. She moved her hands to hold Regina's head and kissed the brunette all over her face, telling her between kisses how much she loved her until her lips met full dark red ones. She kissed her lover tenderly and slowly, full of gratitude and love. Regina pulled out of the kiss after too quick of a minute
"You can thank me later by continuing that, but we should go have breakfast. You should text Neal and see if he wants Henry for a couple of hours today."
After breakfast Neal picked Henry up and after several instructions and 'do-nots' from Regina, the women were alone. Emma told Regina she would meet her in their bedroom while the blonde cleaned up the kitchen. The brunette climbed the stairs and walked into their bedroom. She undressed herself and slid into the bed naked and waited. She didn't have to wait long before Emma entered. Upon her entry she saw Regina already in bed, bare shoulders exposed despite the duvet covering the rest of the small form. The blonde raised her eyebrows.
"I was being preemptive," the brunette teased.
"As much as I love undressing you, this is nice," Emma replied bashfully. Quickly taking her clothes off, she clambered under the sheets and inched over to her lover. Regina was laying on her back, propped up on her elbows, so Emma leaned on her left elbow and knee, slipping her right leg between Regina's legs strategically placed against the brunette's core. She used her right hand to caress a tan cheek, rubbing her thumb over a full bottom lip. After her thumb cleared the lip, smooth pink lips replaced it, kissing softly and slowly. Red painted fingernails tangled in soft blonde curls, pushing into the scalp gently to hold their lips closer.
A smooth, wet tongue slipped out between wet lips and moved across the split between lush, plump ones asking entry, which was granted quickly. Emma didn't let the pace quicken, she wanted to savor this moment as long as possible. It was their first time together living with each other, the first time after finding out they had created a child through their magic, through their love. She wanted to make Regina feel so much pleasure that she wouldn't be able to walk. She wanted to make Regina feel as good as she herself had been feeling all morning. She needed to make her lover feel as loved as she herself felt, for if any person in the world deserved it, it was Regina.
Emma moved her mouth over the hollow of Regina's cheek to the strong jaw she loved. She kissed along the jawline, sucked on the pulse point on the tan neck. Her hand roamed the smooth expanse of skin below her tenderly as her mouth did the same. She lovingly kissed every spot she knew that had an effect on Regina, her lips going from breasts to the valley between the mounds, to ribs, her navel, dipping her tongue into the tiny innie button and grazing her teeth against the hollow along the lines of her hip bones.
Every bit of contact caused a sensual moan to escape from Regina's throat. Emma smoothed her palms down olive and toned things, spreading them apart and lowered herself on shins and elbow. Slowly she moved her mouth below a small, neat patch of pair to the small bundle of nerves, kissing it gently and causing the body beneath her to buck up instinctively and involuntarily. The whimpers Emma heard had her own core aching. She slid out her tongue and ran it down the slit below the bundle of nerves, until she was at the opening. She opened the brunette's legs farther, as far as they would go, causing a soft, pleased sigh to emit from between red lips.
She moved her tongue into the opening, automatically feeling muscles tighten around it, causing her own moan to release vibrations into Regina's opening. The warm center against her mouth began moving against her causing teeth to graze against wet flesh. She moved her mouth so she could dip one finger into the wet opening, pumping it a couple of times before pulling it out to insert another so that her index and middle fingers were pumping and curling into the warmth as juices seeped over her fingers and knuckles. She closed her mouth over Regina's clit and sucked it gently in the slow even pace her fingers had set.
"Em-ma," Regina moaned. "Please, I need release." The whisper was just audible enough that the blonde heard. Deciding she had shown her love fairly, she set a quicker pace adding her ring finger and letting her pinky graze the smaller hole just below where her three center fingers were pumping. She flicked the clit with her tongue, and grazed it with her teeth, moving quickly and determinedly, wanting her lover's pleasure to be sweet and complete.
She kept her mouth and hands working while she raised her eyes, looking through her lashes at Regina who had one hand tangled in golden hair and the other kneading her own breast in the same manner Emma's second hand was moving. Heavy lids were slowly covering the dark brown eyes as her body bucked and tightened with pleasure, her bottom lifting off the bed. Emma moved her hand from Regina's breast to her ass, squeezing it and stroking it in one hand, continuing to lick and pump with her mouth and other hand until the brunette's body once again settled back on the bed limply and relaxed.
Emma crawled up Regina's body, kissing her tenderly along her taut stomach and curved chest until her lips landed against the brunette's, kissing her gently. She brought her right hand up and, while looking into Regina's eyes, she licked the sweet juices off each finger.
"Emma," Regina whispered. "I was counting on sex, but that was…mmm."
"Good," Emma replied, a dopey grin taking over her mouth.
"Mmm, you're amazing. I never knew love could feel like this."
"Me neither."
"I'm glad it's with you."
"Me too."
"Alright, my turn. Get up here." Regina motioned for Emma to lower herself onto Regina's mouth. Emma shook her head.
"No, you can take care of me later. I kind of just want to cuddle and nap. We have all day."
And it took no time at all for Regina and Emma, wrapped around each other, to fall asleep.
