Prompt: Emma gets Regina something for Christmas
Emma stood on the porch, shifting from foot to foot and fidgeting with the small wrapped box in her hands. She turned away from the door about to step off the porch when the door behind her opened, "Miss Swan?" The blonde froze and slowly turned to face the dark haired woman framed in the doorway, "Is there something I could help you with?"
Running her finger along the edge of the little box she stepped back toward the door of the mansion, "I just," she held up the gift in her hand, "I wanted –"
Regina sighed softly, "You're going to see him tomorrow morning, Emma," she said, "you didn't have to bring it over tonight."
Emma shook her head, "Its not," she looked up, "its not for Henry," she finally said. "It," she shook her head again, "it made me think of you," she said as she held it out to Regina.
The brunette looked shocked as she reached out and took the almost flat, red wrapped present from Emma's hand, "You didn't have to get me anything."
"I just," Emma shrugged, "I couldn't walk away from it when I saw it." Emma nodded then backed away from the door to the mansion, "I'm just," she pointed over her shoulder, "I'm gonna go, I'll see you and Henry tomorrow for breakfast."
Regina nodded. Emma was almost to the end of the walkway when she heard Regina's voice behind her, "Emma," she called quietly. The blonde whirled around to find Regina staring at the gift in her hands, the red wrapping paper laying at her feet. "This is," she looked up to the blonde and then moved down the walk, "this is beautiful." She reached out and traced the letters across the top of the sterling silver picture frame in her hands, "My Little Prince," she whispered.
"On the ship," Emma said, "you called him that. And I heard you whisper it in his ear when we were trying to get his heart back from Pan. I saw this online and I just knew that I had to get it for you."
"This picture though," Regina said, "the top one, I've never seen it before."
Emma shook her head, "The doctor that delivered Henry," she said quietly, "he, umm, he took it and gave it to me. He thought that I," she took a deep breath, "he thought that I should at least know what the baby, what Henry, looked like. I've kept it all these years and I wanted you to have it now. The bottom one I got from Henry a few days ago."
Regina stared at the two pictures, the top one of Henry just a short time after his birth and the bottom a picture of her holding Henry up so that the camera captured the image of his small face clearly. Finally Regina looked back up to meet Emma's eyes, "Come inside," she said quietly and held out a hand to the blonde. She smiled slightly, "You should be here in the morning to see our little prince open his presents from Santa."
Meeting caramel colored eyes Emma reached out and took Regina's hand with her own, "I'd like that," she said and allowed Regina to lead her back toward the house and inside.
