"Alright. Let's do this", Emma sat as she stood at the cemetery and looked at her beloveds grave stone. She looked at Regina who looked at her for a couple of seconds with worry in her eyes, before nodding at stepping forward. She stopped beside Emma and gave her a final look, looking for any kind of doubt, only to find nothing. Emma nodded a single tear running down her cheek and Regina nodded back and stretched out her arms and began her locater spell. After a couple of seconds in pure silence, a light appeared and it started flying in a direction and Regina took a deep breath before going back to Henry and they all followed the light.
After a couple of minutes walking, they came to the docks and saw the Killian's ship.
"He's here", Emma said and walked on to the boat. Henry wanted to walk with her, but Regina stopped him and shook her head.
"Don't Henry. You don't know how Killian has changed. If he even has"
Henry was about to complain when she stopped him.
"And I'm not taking any chances when it's about your might getting hurt"
She turned to David and Snow and smiled sadly.
"Take him while I follow Emma. If we aren't out in 15 minutes, come inside okay?"
David and Snow nodded without any complains and Regina turned to Henry and kissed his cheek and gave him a hug.
"I'll be right back", she whispered and walked towards the ship and stepped on it. She looked around and saw all the dead men from Killian's crew, cleaning the boat. She figured that they might be in cabin and walked towards it. When she got in, she saw Emma and Killian standing holding onto each other. She smiled sadly at the couple and gave them a minute.
"Regina", Emma's voice broke through her thoughts. She cleared her throat and composed.
"I just simply wanted to see if everything was fine"
"It is", Emma said smiling at the brunette. Regina smiled sadly back and Killian saw the sad smile.
"Don't be sad love. Emma and I are good. I'm good. I'm not mad anymore"
"I know", Regina said and smiled at the pirate. She cleared her throat and composed once more.
"Shall we?"
Emma and Killian both nodded and went out of the cabin and saw everybody smile as they saw Killian. They went to a clear road where nobody could see them and stood ready.
"Are you ready?", Regina asked as she stood in front of Emma and Killian. They both nodded and shared a look. Emma felt tears in her eyes and turned to Regina.
"Can we have a moment please?"
Regina nodded and stepped back to the others who stood a couple of feet away from them. Emma turned back to Killian and was immediately stopped.
"Stop Emma. I don't want to hear it. I know what you're going to say love. And all I can say back is, I love you too. No matter what happens. Ay?"
Emma let her tears fall and nodded before kissing him soft on his lips. Regina who watched the couple looked down and Henry eyed her knowingly.
"I love you", Emma whispered as she broke the kiss.
"I love you too Swan"
Emma turned to Regina and nodded. Regina nodded back and stepped forward so she stood in front of both of them once more.
"Ready?", she asked as she locked eyes with Emma. Emma could easily see the sorrow in Regina's eyes and smiled sadly at her.
"Ready"
"Ay"
Regina nodded and stepped towards Emma stepping in front of her. She looked in her eyes for a couple of seconds before whispering to her.
"I'm sorry"
Emma smiled at her and nodded.
"It's okay. You're helping me, right?", Emma said let a tear fall. Regina nodded and let a tear fall herself. Emma had to fight with all her being for not to take her hand to the cheek and remove the brunette's tear. Regina composed and immediately dragged her hand inside Emma's chest and Emma felt the pain. Regina could feel Emma's heart in her palm and she shook all over her body. Emma could see behind them Regina, Snow took Henry into her arms and made him look the other way. She mentally thanked her mother for sparing her son the look of his mothers heart being pulled out.
Regina let herself be strong and pulled out, but something stopped her. Her hand was stuck. She tried and tried, but she just couldn't.
"What's happening?", Killian asked as he saw the brunette in struggle. Regina suddenly looked almost terrified and sad at the same time.
"My hand is stuck. I can't pull your heart out. It's like the enchantment I used on Henry's heart. You were just born with it. Because you're the product of true love", Regina said and pulled her hand out of the blondes chest. Emma felt tears in her eyes and turned to Killian.
"No. No I-I can't—"
"Emma—"
"NO! I've seen you die three times! I can't see that again! I'm not leaving you!"
"You have to Emma. There's nothing more we can do", Killian said caressing her cheek gently. Emma's tears flow down on her face.
"No you can't", a husky voice said behind them. They turned and saw Hades standing and eying them.
"If you come any closer", Regina said stepping in front of the couple.
"Or what your majesty? You will fireball my ass?"
Regina gritted teethes as she tried her hardest to control her anger. Hades laughed, scoffing for a minute before he suddenly turned into pure anger and moved past Regina and turned off her fireball in her hand. He walked to Killian and put his hand on his neck, making him bleed from his scar made by Excalibur.
"NO!", Emma screamed and tried to move Hades away, but in vain as he flew her back.
"EMMA!", Regina yelled and ran to her, helping her to stand.
"KILLIAN!"
"Killian!", Emma screamed as she woke from her nightmare. She looked around the room but only saw darkness. She could feel her sweat rolling down all over her body. She began to take uncontrollably breaths and her body began to shake until she felt a hand on her back.
"It's okay. It was just a nightmare. Go back to sleep", Regina whispered gently rubbing Emma's back. Emma immediately calmed down and her breathing became stable. Regina continued rubbing her back and placed her other hand on Emma's shoulder.
"Come. Lay down", she said gently, and laid down, gently taking Emma with her. She took her into her arms and laid her on her chest. Emma immediately relaxed and put her arm around Regina's waist and before she knew it, she fell asleep on the brunette's chest. Regina sighed in relief and looked to her left seeing the clock saying 3:07 am. She sighed and closed her eyes trying to get some sleep as well.
When Emma woke up she felt nothing but cold. She missed the body beside her. She missed Regina's body beside her. She rose from the bed and looked around. It was now light outside. She sighed and looked at the clock. 9:36 am. She groaned and laid back down, but after a couple of seconds she could smell pancakes. She could feel her mouth watering and she got out of bed. She put on her rope and walked down. When she came down she saw Regina standing and making breakfast. She stood for a couple of minutes admiring the brunette. She smiled gently to herself and walked towards the brunette standing behind her. She hesitated as she thought if she should hug the brunette or if it would be too wired for Regina. She sighed and because of how close she stood, Regina heard it and turned around.
"Oh... Uh you're awake", Regina said as she kind of jumped when she saw how close Emma stood. She cleared her throat and composed.
"So. How are you feeling?"
Emma looked at the brunette for a couple of seconds before leaning in and laying her head on the side on the brunette's shoulder. Regina was taken backwards by the action, but smiled and wrapped her arms around the blonde and gently stroked her hair. Emma closed her eyes and felt tears in her eyes again. They stood like that for a couple of minutes before Emma broke the silence.
"How did you know I was having a nightmare? How did you get in?"
"Do you remember when you heard me scream?", Regina asked back. Emma nodded, her head still on the brunette's shoulder.
"That's how I heard yours. I was sleeping when I suddenly heard a scream. Your scream to be exact. I then became worried and I immediately transported to your house but found nothing as I ending in your kitchen. I suddenly heard you scream for real. With sound, and I ran upstairs to find you laying in your bed screaming for dear life. I often say that I'm not scared of anything. But seeing and hearing you scream like that in your bed terrified me. I tried to wake you up, but you didn't even stir. So I laid down beside you and I held onto you, even when you screamed. And at some point, you stopped. And I hoped it was over, but then you screamed even louder and then you woke when you screamed Killian's name", Regina said while she stroked Emma's hair and rubbed her back. Emma swallows a lump in throat and nodded gently against the shoulder. Regina nodded as well. She figured she should pull away, or her food would burn, but she didn't want to make Emma sad either, so she held onto her, until Emma herself decided to back away. And after almost 10 minutes of arms wrapped around each other and standing in complete silence, Emma pulled back.
"Thank you", she whispered and looked at Regina. Before Regina could answer, Emma leaned in and brought their lips together in a soft kiss. Regina was taken quite aback as she felt the thin lips on her own, but she kissed her back almost immediately and brought Emma closer to her. But she knew she had to stop. This wasn't right. She came to her senses and pulled back.
"Emma..."
When she looked up she saw only fear. Emma's eyes were filled with nothing by fear. Fear of rejection.
"Don't be scared. I just think you need a little time, to think this through. You're still grieving from Killian, and it's not fair for either you nor me, to take advantage of you like this"
Emma looked down and breathed slowly. She leaned forward and hid her face in the crock of Regina's neck. Regina was a little taller than her, now that she had her high heels on. Emma brought her hand to Regina's neck and caressed her gently, just like she used to do with Killian. Regina couldn't help but smile as she once more brought her arms around Emma, pulling her closer.
Emma and Regina spend the whole day watching movies together. Right now, they sat on the couch Regina with Emma leaning into her, her head on the brunette's shoulder.
"You okay?", Regina asked. Emma nodded as she kept watching the movie. They were currently watching the lion king. Regina put it on, knowing how much Emma loved the movie.
"How did you know I love this movie?", Emma asked after a couple of minutes. Regina chuckled and took Emma's hand into her own and squeezed it gently.
"You're Henry's mother. He has loved the movie since he could see straight", Regina said and thought back to when she and Henry would watch the movie every night before bedtime.
"Tell me about Henry. About his childhood"
Regina thought about it for a second before sighing.
"What is there to tell? You already know how it was"
"Yeah, when he was with me. You are a whole different mother to him, than I am. I wanna know how he was with you"
Regina sighed and felt tears in her eyes. Emma could feel the distress and became worried.
"What is it?"
"Emma the memories I gave you the day you and Henry left, was not just any memories. They were my memories. My happy memories with Henry. His ups and downs. The first time he talked, the first time he walked. His first day in kindergarten. His first day in school. All his first 11 years. They were all my memories with him"
Emma felt tears in her eyes and before she could think, she leaned in and kissed Regina on the cheek.
"Thank you Regina. You have no idea what that means to me. It's like we raised him together"
Regina smiled at that comment. She had never thought about that. She couldn't smile wider right now.
"You're welcome Emma"
They locked eyes and Emma carefully leaned in and kissed the brunette again. Regina knew it was wrong. Emma was still grieving. She pulled back and instantly met disappointment in Emma's eyes.
"I'm sorry. I just want to wait till you're more stable. You've had a long day. I don't want to take advantage of you like this"
Even being against it, Emma nodded in understanding and pulled back.
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be"
Emma smiled and turned to the clock. 9:06 pm. She sighed and turned to Regina who stared back at her.
"Will you please stay with me tonight?"
Regina thought about it for a moment. She knew Emma needed her now more than ever. But she didn't want to leave Henry alone either.
"I'll call Henry and see what he wants"
Emma nodded and turned back to the movie. Regina sighed and got up from the couch and went to her phone and called Henry.
"Hey mom"
"Hey sweetie. Emma doesn't want to be alone tonight, so I'm gonna stay with her, will you be okay by yourself or would you like to sleep over here as well?"
"No I'm good mom. It's obvious you and ma needs some time alone. To... you know... Figure things out. And don't worry I won't stay up late"
"Good sweetie. I love you. See you tomorrow"
"I love you too mom"
Regina hung up and smiled to herself before going back to the couch seeing Emma completely hypnotized by the movie. She's never seen Emma concentrate on her movie so hard. She chuckled at the sight and sat down in the couch and watched the movie with her. And like a child needing her mother, Emma curled up to Regina the moment she felt the body beside her. Regina smiled as she felt Emma's body pressed against her own from her side. She took Emma's hand and squeezed it gently.
After a couple of minutes the movie was over and Regina could practically feel Emma yarn. She smiled and patted the blondes knee.
"Come on Swan. Let's get you to bed"
Emma didn't even complain and simply rose from the couch and walked upstairs. Regina turned off the tv and followed the blonde. She follows her into the bedroom and closed the door. Emma walked to the bathroom but didn't care to close the door. They both got ready to bed as if they had done it for years. Brushing their teethes together. Changing into their outerwear and going to bed. Emma immediately crawled to Regina and laid her head on the brunette's chest, her arm wrapped around her waist. Regina smiled at the action and brought her arm around Emma bringing her closer.
"Thank you for staying Gina", Emma said and Regina stiffened as she heard the nickname. She smiled to herself as well. She felt special.
"Of course Emma. I'm here for you"
Emma smiled and looked up. She looked at Regina for a couple of seconds before moving up so she was on same eye level as Regina. They locked eyes for a couple of moment before Emma leaned in and to her surprise, Regina didn't stop her and their lips met in a soft kiss. Emma brought her hand to Regina's cheek and brought the woman impossibly closer. The kiss began to turn heated and Regina could feel Emma grinding into her. She broke the kiss and sighed.
"Emma, please. Not lik—"
"Regina stop. I'm not doing this because I'm sad or because I grieve and only do it to feel loved because I miss Killian. I do it because I want you. Because I want this. Us"
Regina opened and closed her mouth several times before she spoke.
"Emma I don't—"
"You're not taking advantage of me. I know what I'm doing. I want you"
Regina finally told herself that there was nothing more she could do. She sighed and looked down.
"Don't you want this?", Emma asked, suddenly in doubt.
"Of course I do. I just... You know"
Emma smiled and brought their foreheads together.
"Don't worry. I want this. More than anything"
Regina smiled and this time, she leaned in and brought their lips together in a soft sweet kiss. The kiss turned heated rather quickly and she once more felt Emma grinding into her.
"I want you", Emma whispered as she began kissing the brunette's jaw and down to her neck. Regina moaned at the touch and titled her head to the side, giving Emma more access to her kisses.
"Then take me", she whispered back as she brought Emma on top of her and Emma smiled as she continued to kiss down the brunette's body. Regina moaned as she felt Emma's mouth all over her body. She could feel Emma's hands playing with the waistband of her sleeping pants and she rocked her hips upwards. She suddenly felt Emma dragging her pants down her legs. She easily complied and before they knew it, Regina's pants were gone. She felt hands on her clit and two fingers started to slowly drawing circles on her covered clit.
"Please..."
Normally Emma would tease the brunette to no end, but not tonight. She slowly took off the brunette's underwear and when they were fully gone as well, she went back to drawing circles on the brunette's clit. She could feel Regina tense under her and she knew she was ready. She looked at Regina and smiled. The woman was so beautiful. More than anyone she had ever met. And she bets, she's even more beautiful when she's in pleasure.
"Look at me", she whispered and Regina opened her eyes and looked into the beautiful blondes beautiful green eyes. Emma smiled at her and suddenly Regina felt two fingers enter her and she rolled her eyes back in pleasure and proved Emma right. She was absolutely gorgeous in pure pleasure. Emma thrusted in and out of the brunette, slowly to begin with, letting the brunette adjust to the fingers inside her. Regina moaned as she felt the fingers thrusting faster and she eagerly moved her hips with the fingers, so they were meeting her g-spot in every thrust. She took Emma by the neck and pulled her down for a heated kiss. They kissed for dominance and Emma could feel Regina moan into their mouths.
"God Emma please faster!"
Emma thrusted faster inside Regina while she gave wet kisses onto Regina's neck and jaw and Regina moaned out as she felt the saviors tongue. She brought her arms around Emma and took off Emma's t-shirt, whimpering as she felt Emma's fingers leave her center in able to get the t-shirt off her. But her mouth watered the second she saw Emma's bare chest in front of her. She immediately sat up and brought her mouth to one of the nibbles. Emma moaned as she felt the mouth on her nibble and scratched Regina in her neck.
"God..."
She sat enjoying the feeling for a couple of more seconds before turning them around bringing Regina on top of her. She immediately brought her hand to the brunette's shirt and tarred it apart, buttons flying all over the room. In normal circumstances, Regina would have thrown a flip, but she was in too much ecstasy too even care the slightest. She felt Emma's hand behind her back and suddenly her bra was off and her bare chest shown. She saw Emma almost drool at the sight and smirked.
"Like what you see Swan?"
"Hell yes", Emma practically moaned and brought their lips together in a passionate kiss. She turned the around once more, still locking their mouths together before kissing down the woman's body. Her jaw, her neck, her collarbone, each her breast was taken care of gently, several kisses on her stomach and she continued down till she was eye to eye with the brunette's wet center. She moaned out as she smelled the woman and she couldn't resist to lick the woman from the button to the top. Regina moaned out and moved her hips with the blondes movements. Emma kept licking the brunette's center and soon brought two fingers inside her thrusting fast and hard. Regina moaned louder and louder for every thrust.
"Fuck! Emma!"
Emma smiled as she heard the brunette scream her name. And after a couple of more thrusts, the brunette came hard giving Emma all her liquor. Emma happily ate her out and kissed back up her body when she was finished, meeting the woman in a heated kiss. Regina moaned at the taste of herself on the blondes tongue.
"God you're amazing", Emma moaned out and suddenly felt two fingers enter her.
"Fuck!"
Regina smiled as she saw Emma's reaction. She turned them around, without pulling her fingers out and thrusted fast and hard inside the blonde, earning several moans. She thrusted faster while leaning down to Emma's ear.
"You want to come right now don't you?"
Emma moaned in answer and rocket her hips with the hand, her own hand on the back of Regina's neck.
"Please!"
Regina decided to give Emma the pleasure and thrusted as fast and hard as she could after only 3 seconds, Emma came hard against her hand. Regina smiled, pleased by her own ability to pleasure Emma like this. As Emma came down from her high, she opened her eyes, and saw Regina staring back her.
"Hey", Regina whispered, gently stroking the blondes chin. Emma smiled and leaned up to give a soft kiss on her lips.
"Hey"
Regina smiled and leaned down, kissing the blonde once more.
