Right then. it's been about 2 months since I've updated but i found time and It's here I hope to do it more now so please review.
The next morning Regina once again wakes up curled into Emma's side, she briefly feels content in the embrace before groaning quietly, she rolls out of the blondes arms onto her back, Regina lets out a sigh.
'I cannot have feelings for Miss Swan, what I felt last night must have been could of just been that she stood up for me against Whale, yes that must be it nothing else. It's Emma, the pain in my backside, the daughter of Snow and Charming. I do NOT have feelings for her.
Emma groans, announcing her awakening, her eyes flutter open; she sits up and looks around the room confused before collapsing back onto the bed.
Regina looks at the blonde with a small smile on her face.
She looks so adorable when waking up. DAMMIT. Regina mentally shouts at herself, her smile dropping.
"Morning" Emma says bringing the brunette out of her thoughts.
"Good morning Emma"
"I knew you'd love using my name as soon as you'd gotten used to it"
"I am so glad I don't have to put up with you today" When Emma raises an eyebrow Regina continues, "I need to go into work, meetings to attend papers to sign". Emma lets out a loud snore causing Regina to let out a small chuckle.
"Is my immaturity rubbing off on you? You're laughing at something I did" Emma questions
"You wish Miss Swan" The older woman says before she pushes herself out of the bed and makes her way to the bathroom.

Once Emma and Regina are both changed, they head downstairs. Regina gathers up her coat ready to leave as Emma sits down at the table with her parents and Henry.
"Okay I'm off to work" Regina announces as she enters the dining room, "Henry, have fun at school" She tells the boy before dropping a kiss to the top of his head. She looks over at Emma opposite Henry.
'A couple, act like a normal couple how would you say goodbye to your lover'.
With a calm face, Regina walks around the table to Emma, who in return turns her head up to look at the brunette woman. Without thinking Regina leans down and places a quick kiss to the blonde's lips.
"Love you" Regina says without a thought before turning around to walk out of the room and out of the house. The Mayor keeps a calm look on her face until she's in the safety in the car." What the hell was that, love you, why did I say that?" Regina questions herself before driving off to work.
Back in the house, Emma sits at the table no expression. She catches the eyes of her son who's smirking; she stares back at him with questioning eyes. The sound of Hayley's voice breaks there staring contest
"So what's the plan for today Em?" The oldest woman asks.
"Uh, well we have to drop Henry off at school and then "Emma's interrupted by the sound of her cell ringing. She digs it out of her pocket, "Sheriff Swan" She answers, "Yeah sure I'll be right there" She hangs up her phone and stands up "I am so sorry they need me down at the station, I shouldn't be too long but"
"Nonsense Em, go and do your job" Her father tells her Emma walks out of the dining room to collect her badge and guns.
"Henry your grandparents are going to walk you to school, lead the way and make sure they know where they are before you leave them, okay?" She tells her son.
"Yes mom"
"Alright, later guys, bye kid", Emma ruffle's his hair before leaving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So Henry, do you like having both your mothers' together?" Matt asks Him. Henry scratches the back of his neck thinking of an answer.
"Um it was weird at first, not in a bad way but first having only one parent then suddenly I have two, but yeah I love it now "Henry smiles.
"Is this your school?" Hayley points to the building coming into view.
"Yeah it is." Henry starts to walk towards the school but turns back around to face both his grandparents, "Oh yeah, if you walk straight down this road and then take the second left turning and go straight on you'll come up to Granny's. If mom isn't going to be long you can call her and wait for her there." Henry tells them using hand gestures.
"Thank you Henry, we'll see you after school" The woman says to him. Henry smiles and waves them goodbye before her turns and heads towards the school.
Hayley and Matt hold hands, walking in the direction Henry showed them.
"Oh you're Emma's parents correct?" A small brunette asks walking towards them, with a bright smile wearing a yellow dress.
"Yes and you are?" Hayley questions back.
"Belle, I'm the librarian"
"Ah yes I remember we saw you yesterday at the diner" Hayley replies with a smile of her own. Belle blushes and looks down to her feet.
"Um yes well, are you on your way there now?" Belle asks them throwing the attention away from her.
"Yes we are" Belle smiles at them. The three walk together to the diner.
The bell jingles as they enter.
"Belle" Red calls out as she she's her girlfriend, "And we have Mr and Mrs Swan, lovely to see you both." The smile never leaves the waitresses face.
"Ruby we insist you call us by our names" Matt tells her. Ruby lets out a chuckle.
"Sure thing "The older couple look at the man at the counter who was previously talking to Ruby, "Oh this is Archie Hopper, Archie these are Emma's parents Hayley and Matt."
"It's good to meet you both" Archie tells them after shaking both of their hands.
"You too, so what do you do in this town?" The older woman asks.
"Oh I'm a therapist."
"Oh so in your own opinion are Emma and Regina good for each other" Hayley elbows Matt at the question, "What, to me they seem happy but if it's my baby girl and he's here might as well ask him." Matt shrugs at her.
"It's fine they've never had a session with me but just by looking at them I can tell they're meant to be. Actually pretty soon after Emma arrived here, I thought they we're destined to be together." The doctor smiles at the couple.
"That reassures a man, come on lets go sit" He nods at the doctor before going to sit with his wife.
Belle and Ruby turn to look at Archie.
"I thought you weren't a liar or you couldn't lie Archie" Ruby says to the doctor. Archie smiles at her before standing up ready to leave. He turns to face her.
"I wasn't lying" With that he quickly leaves the diner, Bella and Ruby's questioning eye's following him. Once Archie is out of sight Belle turn to look at Ruby.
"I'll ask him later" Ruby says answering her unspoken question. She kisses Belle on the cheek before going off and taking the Swan's order.
Just as Ruby reaches the table, the bell above the door jingles. Emma walks in.
"Hey I went home but no one was there so I assumed you came here." She calls out, making her way to the booth her parents are sitting at. She shrugs off her red leather jacket and places it in her lap as she sits down next to her father on one side of the booth. "Did you get here alright?"
"Yes, Henry gave us directions; we then bumped into Belle who walked us here we then met Archie Hopper, very nice man." Hayley answers her.
"Ah that's good, yeah Archie's great. So" Emma claps her hands together, "What are we all having".

"Hey kid, what was with the smirk at breakfast?" The blonde asks Henry while her parents are in the kitchen preparing dinner, waiting for Regina to come home.
"You and mom had to kiss and you told her you loved her" Henry says with a smirk.
"Well yeah we're trying to be convincing that we're a couple, kid, that stuff has to happen" Emma explains to Henry looking slightly confused.
"Isn't it weird though? you both once hated each other a little bit" Emma looks off to the side thinking.
"Nope it's fine it's all part of the act" She tells her son before standing up and walking into the kitchen to check on her parents
"Isn't it weird that she doesn't think it's weird?" Henry whispers to himself.
The front door opens and slams shut.
"I'm home" Regina calls out. Emma walks out of the kitchen followed by her parents. She walks up to Regina and wraps her arms around her waist and kisses her.
"Hi." Emma smiles at her, "How was work?"
"Um it was work same old same old" Regina answers trying to keep her composure. The blonde lets her arms drop from around Regina; the brunette instantly misses the warmth she felt.
"I hope you don't mind Regina we made dinner it should be ready in about five minutes" Hayley's voice calls out bringing Regina out of her head.
"Oh yes, that's perfectly fine." Emma smiles at her, placing a hand on the small of her back before going off to set the table. Regina lets out a deep sigh.
'I haven't felt like that from a kiss since Daniel and her arms wrapped around me, it felt so safe I need to feel them again. NO Regina, snap out of it. Not much longer and Emma will be out of this house and I can get these silly feelings out of my head'
Regina shakes her head, snapping out of her thought. She puts on a smile and heads to the dining area to eat with the family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later on that night everyone is in bed asleep apart from Regina. The Mayor is on her side facing away from the blonde, wide awake lost in her thoughts.
'This is it, this is the last night of sharing a bed after this and everything can go back to normal.'
There is shifting from Emma's side of the bed. The blonde rolls over in her sleep, her arm going over Regina's waist and pulls the older woman in close against her body. Regina stiffens for a second before relaxing in the embrace. Her hand finds Emma's that is resting on her stomach. She places her hand over Emma's enjoying the way the hands fit.
'I forgot how nice it is to be held in arms, how comforting it is, I guess I can enjoy for tonight, even if it is Emma'
Regina pulls Emma's arm tighter around her before falling into a deep sleep.
