Sorry it's been longer for this chapter everyone and thank you to everyone, for the reviews/follows and faves it inspires me to carry on.

"Hey," Emma replied with an adorable puppy face and Regina felt like a lovesick fool.

"What are you doing here?" she asks in disbelief.

Emma then placed her hand upon Regina's hand in the brunettes lap and squeezes it. Paying her full attention.

"I am here to see you and do what I said in my message," she bit her lip, suddenly feeling self-conscious and she stared at their joined hands. While Regina's eyes suddenly widened in realization.

"It's me?" She whispered and her lips parted, as Emma glanced back up, meeting her wide brown eyes.

Emma then gripped her hands tighter and smiled softly. Even though her heart was racing and her hands were becoming clammy she said "It's always been you Regina," she replied meaningfully and hoping Regina felt the same.

"Is this real?" Regina asked and they were both were so consumed in each other. That they didn't notice the odd glances being given towards them, by the towns people.

"I've come knocking on your door, so to speak and am asking if you let me in," Emma chuckled lightly. She thought, this is it, the moment where I either get heart broken or eternal joy. Please be eternal joy.

"Because?" Regina muttered shakily.

"Do I really have to say it? Because I will say it a million times if you wish," Emma smiled and tilted her head.

"Emma..." Regina groaned playfully and also tilted her head, still locking gazes with Emma who took a deep breath and lovingly told her, "I love you Regina…I am in love with you and I hope you feel the same way too."

Regina's breath hitched and she let out an uncontrollable sob of happiness. She couldn't believe this was happening, how could she be this lucky?

Meanwhile, Zelena happened to be come across the hall. She suddenly thought some blonde was upsetting her sister and was just about to start a fight with the woman, Until she paused, upon seeing the blonde reach up and cup her sister's face. She gaped in surprise and she watched what was to unfold.

"You do?" Regina said breathlessly.

"Crazy right?" Emma said teasingly and Regina chuckled lightly, as an unconscious tear began to fall down her cheek.

"It's not crazy Emma, especially when I love you too," Regina replied softly and was adoringly looking at her.

Emma's smile grew wide and she practically beamed.

"Really?" Her heart swelled.

'Yes and are you going to kiss me now?" Regina deadpanned, but she was so happy and overwhelmed, that she leaned in straight away. Wanting to feel Emma's lips upon her own.

Emma felt her own breath hitch, as Regina leaned forward and captured her soft pink one's. It was slow to begin with, but it could only be described as magic, as an explosive warmth filled both their bodies and their skin began to tingle pleasantly.

Neither cared that the there was a room full of people. It was just them in that moment and all the happiness they felt, for-go anything else.

Emma pulled back after a long moment. Leaning her head against the brunette's, as both closed their eyes and smiled beautifully.

"That was far better than I imagined," Emma said breathlessly, opening her eyes and staring at Regina in awe.

Regina hummed her agreement and they didn't notice that Zelena had finally made her way them.

"Sorry to interrupt sis, but oh my god! What was that and I really hope that this is Emma. Otherwise this is going to be awkward," Zelena said, looking between the two with a wide smile.

Emma glanced to the woman. While Regina let out a soft sigh.

"Zelena this is Emma," Regina told her as the wide smile returned to her face as she looked back to her love.

Emma now stood up when Regina had said Zelena, it all clicked for Emma. That this is Regina's sister.

"Hey Zelena, you must be Regina's sister that I have heard so much about," Emma said.

"Yes that's me," she smirked. "So glad to finally met the woman my sister has been pestering me about," she chuckled and Emma looked to Regina who put a hand to her face.

"All good I hope?" Emma grinned.

"Of course, she's been longing after you for ages," Zelena said seriously and Emma's heart ached, for she had experienced the same feeling.

"Zelena, will you just stop? Emma will think I'm a lovesick teenager." Emma put her hand on Regina's shoulder and squeezed it lightly.

"If you're a lovesick teenager, then I am too" she replied playfully and Regina chuckled.

Zelena crossed her arms, smiling at both, before staring at Emma.

A long moment later.

"So Emma, does this mean you'll be staying in Storybrooke?" Zelena asked, Regina's eyes widened. She suddenly remembered Emma lived in Boston. How were they going to make this work?! She thought and started to worry.

Emma immediately saw the worry in the brunettes face.

"Regina…come on, stand up, I have something else to tell you," she told her. She pulls her up from the chair and then cupped her cheek and stared into those brown orbs, she had come to adore.

"Do not worry, we are going to make the distance thing work. You know how I know this?" She smirked.

"How?" Regina asked softly, staring into green eyes with hope.

"I am going to live in Storybrooke. In fact, I am living in Storybrooke, at my parent's apartment of course," she smiled smugly.

Regina gaped and the range of emotions she was feeling overwhelmed her. There was surprise, shock, joy, happiness and disbelief.

"You are?" She replied and glanced to Emma's lips, then back to bright green eyes.

"I have been here for three days at my parent's apartment. I wanted to surprise you tonight."

Regina chuckled nervously.

"You idiot," Regina replied, but then questioned, "We can we together, here?"

Emma smiled widely, her eyes shining brightly.

"I sure hope so."

"Yes, yes a million times yes," Regina said quickly.

Emma pulled Regina into her and kissed her passionately and both melted instantly.

"Jeez get a room,'" Zelena teased.

Regina pulled back and glanced to her sister. "Shut up," she said teasingly and then glanced back to her love and leaned in passionately, kissing her again.

Zelena rolled her eyes. "I'll come back later," she said, whilst walking off happily.

Two minutes later, Emma broke away from the passionate fest of feeling Regina's lips upon her own. The need for air had become too much, otherwise she would carried on.

Regina panted. "I want to take you home right now," her voice was full of desire.

Emma's whole body buzzed.

"I want you too and I am sure you will, but we have all the time in the world and we're here, at this Christmas Ball and there's also Henry. I would also like to dance with you," she blushed slightly.

Regina's heart swelled. Her heart full of happiness and joy and amazement that this woman loved her back.

"I would love that." They walked to the floor were a dozen couples were dancing to a slow love tune and Regina put her hand round the blondes waist and they swayed together.

"Does Henry know your here?" Regina said sweetly.

"Yeah he saw me outside. I told him I was here to surprise you," she smiled. "He told me you loved me," she smiled wider.

"Did he now?" Regina looked away shyly and Emma's melted at this side of Regina she rarely had seen.

"He's very clever," Emma said.

"Hmmm," Regina smiled, glancing back to Emma. "I can't believe you have really moved here to Storybrooke Emma," she said in awe.

"I know it must be a surprise," Emma sighed. "I just couldn't live there anymore, and I realized I needed to be here."

"What about you work? Your friends?" Regina asked curiously as she glanced to soft pink lips.

"I handed my notice in over a month ago and I can make new friends here. My family is here. You and Henry are here."

Regina felt like a puddle of mush and she had to feel Emma against her. So she surged forward and passionately kissed her love desperately putting all her feelings into it. Hoping Emma would feel it.

Emma moaned into her mouth, giving back everything she had. Both unknowingly being watched by Emma's parents who gaped in shock at the scene, while Henry had spotted his mom and Emma and ran over.

"Mom...Emma." He said loudly, putting one arm around Emma and one arm around his mom and looking up at them happily.

"Were you surprised?" Henry asked his mom, who looked to him slightly dazed from her heated moment with Emma.

"Yes, I was very surprised," she said lovingly.

"Are you going to stay with us Emma?" he looked between them both, waiting for an answer.

Emma swallowed thickly. He had implied if Emma was going to live with him and Regina and her heart swelled at the thought but she knew it was too soon for that so she replied ,"Yes, I am going to be staying at my parents and I am going to be the town's deputy sheriff."

"Cool," he said happily, bringing his arms down, while Regina blinked a few times before saying. "Wait, you're doing to be the new deputy sheriff?"

I think there's going to be one more chapter, Ill see how it goes.
