For those reading Eventide, i promise i will upload another chapter as soon as i have worked out where i am going with it. Look out for a new story coming soon...
Emma left the dining room and headed towards the kitchen door which was slightly open, enough that Emma wouldn't need to push it to slip inside. The soft sound of Regina humming to her self could now be heard, light and melodic. It wasn't very often that Emma got to hear this, but she absolutely loved when she did.
Emma stepped up to the edge of the door and peered round to see where the brunette was situated. As it happened she was over the furthest side and had her back to the door chopping vegetables in preparation for dinner.
Emma brought her hand up onto the door to hold it in place as she let her head lean against it. She never tired of looking at her girlfriend. Every time she did she felt like she found another reason to love her, another reason never to let her go.
Regina must have sensed that someone was there, before she abruptly stopped humming and turned towards the door. At first sight of Emma and smile spread across the brunettes face, lighting the whole room. But this was quickly replaced but a slight scowl and a hip placed on a hip.
"Emma, how long have you been stood there?" Regina asked with a slight bite to her tone. Emma pushed off from the door and entered into the kitchen and walked over to Regina, slinking her arms around Regina's waist.
"Long enough to fall in love with you all over again." She leant in and placed a deep kiss onto crimson stained lips. She could feel Regina respond and stand a little taller before she smiled into Emma's kiss. Emma pulled back from the kiss, not releasing Regina from her grasp and looked around the kitchen.
"Lasagne?" Emma queried as she could see all the usual ingredients scattered around, including the red pepper flakes. Regina nodded,
"Is that okay? I can make something else if you like?" but Emma was already shaking her head in response.
"Lasagne is perfect, especially as it's yours. You know it's my favourite." Regina smiled again and this time was the one to lean in and steal a kiss from the blonde. Regina pulled back and leant backwards, still restrained by Emma's strong arms.
"Go and get changed, dinner wont be long and in case you forgot Henry is at your parents for the next couple of nights so wont be joining us" Emma nodded to convey she remembered and un-looped her arms from Regina's waist. She walked to the kitchen door before stopping and glancing back over her shoulder to look at Regina who had gone back to her vegetables.
Emma couldn't help but smile as she watched Regina go back to work and couldn't help wondering what she had ever done to get so lucky. She left the kitchen and headed for their bedroom upstairs to put the first part of her plan into action.
Upon entering the bedroom Emma pulled her tank top up and off before throwing it into the washing basket by the door. Next she walked across to their walk in closet and walked right to the back. She reached into the back corner of her section and pulled out a clothes bag. She hung it on one of the silver pegs on the wall and unzipped the bag running a hand over the fabric inside.
Emma wanted to make tonight special. Not only because it was their anniversary or any sort of special events but just because she wanted to show Regina what she means to her. She wanted Regina to know that now, she was her whole world and Emma would give anything to keep her in it. The woman had given Emma the family she had always wanted. She wanted Regina to know how she had changed her world and how Emma wants her to keep on changing it.
