A little less seeing and a little more feeling 14

*disclaimer* I don't own once upon a time or its characters.

Hope you like it but I won't know unless you tell me.

Alright time fore a jump forward. Not sure much else I was planning to do with this not that the vacation was that long anyways but for your sake it went so well. So now everyone is home and there only a few of the dampest things that happen but given how much our two lovely ladies love each other it shouldn't be to hard to over come right?

The day's flew by but they still turned out to be the best days of my life. Henry really began to understand what it meant to do something I couldn't after Regina took time to explain it to him. I was happy he to wanted to do things I would enjoy as well but I promised if he wanted to do something all he had to do was ask and I would do my best to enjoy it too. So when we went to the carnival I didn't force myself on everything for Henry. I admitted the fact that not seeing things but feeling movement did make me uncomfortable.

I was actually not use to the things we did. I am more use to sitting at home, walking everyday through the park, and going to or from work. Having Regina and her try really did feel like I was opening myself to so much more in my life. Thankfully Regina tried to make all this as good for me as possible an all I could do was wonder how she knew exactly what to say or do.

The carnival was one of the first things we did. I went on a merry go round, the tea cup spinners, and a few select rides were easy enough for me to get on with Regina's help. At one point Regina even assisted with a bean sack throwing game. Telling me to stand with my feet wider and throw straight out from my shoulder. I might have sucked but she told me I did quite well for following her directions.

The second day we varied from the beach to the shopping malls. Of course Regina would telling she thought plenty dresses and colors looked great on me wishing I indulged her and tried on. At the end of the day though I selected a few jeans and tank tops to add to my collection at home. After having Regina purr in my ear that I looked absolutely fuckable in my skin tight jeans I couldn't resist.

The third and fourth day were spent at the hotel in the spa or pool. The second to last day I was actually crying when Regina took us to a pottery class. After practically dying from her attempts to do things for me she told me she knew I didn't know much about the city anyways and that she wanted to pick something she could do hands on with me so I could learn. I'd never done pottery but I did like having her sit behind me showing me how to wet the clay and spin it between my hands.

"Feel how it doesn't take much pressure at all to change the clays shape." Regina said loud enough for Henry to hear. She had yet moved from her spot behind me to help him. Possibly because he didn't need it if he was watching. To be honest though I really felt like I would love to do this more. A few times she showed me how to bring it down into a bowl shape.

"You know how big you like a bowl to be right Emma. Imagine it and feel the height of the clay and press down with you thumbs like this." Gently she guided me the clay spun under the skin between my thumb and my index finger. Sure enough the size shrunk and with a light pressure of my thumbs in I felt the bowl expand. I quickly stopped and took my hands off afraid I had messed up.

"Oh Emma it's so perfect. Look Henry it's wonderful isn't it." I could just hear the grin on her lips. Henry agreed as did the owner of the little shop. With a little help though she made a lip to it Regina told me and just like that the clay was taken off and set to dry for the day. After the wheel Regina showed me a great number of other ways to mold things from clay. Of course none quite required her pressed up behind me like the wheel though. As we left we promised to come back to get the dried and fired pieces before we left for home. It didn't take long for me to get cleaned up buttery on the other hand was a mess. We had to return to the hotel and get him changed before doing anything else.

I was really glad I had already made plans for our last night because I didn't know how else I would top pottery if I didn't have dinner already planned. It wasn't just a normal dinner at any restaurant though. The fifth night I took Regina to a dinner and dance restaurant. Latin dances of course because how could I not note her culture. To my surprise she was very fluent in Latin and Spanish. I just assumed she might just appear to look like any other amazing Latina woman but no she spoke it especially when she was angry or very very close to orgasming. What Regina didn't know was that I knew how to dance to so many different types of music.

"Can I have this dance?" I ask setting down my napkin finishing my meal. I stand and hold out my hand to Regina almost turning red at the ears just hoping she doesn't mind I ask. I didn't want to wait another song. As soon as her hand fell in mine I gripped it gently and let her take us to the dance floor. I swept my feet in position and felt her do the same.

"I didn't know you danced Emma."

"I have to keep you on your toes some how don't I." I state before bringing our body's together at the start of the song. "I'm impressed I knew you were a talented woman on many things this I didn't think was one. Is there anything you can't do?" I asked feeling our lips a breath away from each other.

"For you I'd do anything." She exclaims and I blush slightly.

"An so perfectly might I add." She really was perfect even know her legs matched mine in rhythm. Our steps were in sync and fortunately we seemed to be open to a lot of space. At one point swept me back into a dip before I had the chance to do so to her but I caught her on the second one near the close of the song. With a little heavy breathing we finished only then aware of the people paying attention to our routine.

it was with burning cheeks and I was sure I wasn't alone in this that we sat down and enjoyed or dessert before leaving. Not doing so with out a few people bold enough to hit on Regina though making me jealous to no end. Still it was me she left with and me who walked her to our room after picking Henry up from the day care. It was me who laid her down and me who showed her a good time on our last night. The next morning we showered, packed up, and traveled by train all the way home again.

Regina and I had been dating a few months by the time I met her mother. Yes we taken the dates slowly and then suddenly we were a official couple to her mother. At least once we all came back and her daughter was okay she began treating me nicely. It is now four more months later, many date nights, and even more family dinners I was ready to do the one thing I never dreamt of doing in my life. Okay so first I had to buy the ring an then I could do the one thing I never dreamt of doing. Regina was special, never treated me like I was different, and she was so so sweet in every way, I was going to ask her to marry me.

First though I needed my trusty friend. I hadn't had much time with Ruby since starting my new job but I loved it so much that I talked about it almost every time I spoke to her at breakfast. Much to my surprise she learned to trust my choice in my love life. Perhaps she could finally see after months of being together I was truly happy with Regina. So when I brought up I was getting an engagement ring and I needed her help she didn't give a rebuttal. Instead she promised sometime after work she would meet me at my job and take me to the best jewelry stores around. I wondered if I'd find the perfect engagement ring. I wasn't even doubting getting a yes but thinking about if Regina would like just any old ring was be frightening to say the least.

Over the last month we spent a lot more time together because I really found Ruby's help very useful. For days we've talked now about this an clearly I didn't know what I was suppose to have when looking for the perfect ring and Ruby did. She went on and on about colors and meanings, the size or cut of the diamond, and then I had to somehow find out Regina's ring size as well. What was suppose to be something so innocent suddenly became utter hell though and no it wasn't Ruby's fault at all.

As a matter of fact if Cora hadn't been snooping before I came to her things might have ran much smoother. Ruby wouldn't be siting in the kitchen on a stool getting stitches from retinas friend Katherine and I wouldn't have lost my breath shouting my perposal instead of my well planned speech.

Earlier in the week:

we had finally gotten into shopping after so many moring of chatting of breakfast. today after work as promised she picked me up and we visited so many random shops. Like I knew Ruby was on the ball about good and bad rings. Disappointingly though that meant that Regina's special ring was no where to be found. But Ruby dragged me to one more shop. The moment I stepped in I knew it was the place. I took intuitive this time and asked to see their rings.

"What kind are you looking for." I'd heard it before but instead of a size or cut I gave the gentleman my image.

"A unique ring. Stunning and a ring and diamond that makes it more than just a normal engagement ring."

"I have just the ring. Here." A moment of pause and then he hands me a ring that gives me the chills. I feel the way it has one stone and curves like and S around the diamond. Instantly I could imagine the entire peice two added stones one on each side for the weeding band. Regina would love it I just knew it. With my savings I purchased it only needing a few hundred from my credit card.

Two day after:

I've been waiting and panicking about asking Regina. To be honest I was glad I didn't keep it, that I asked Ruby to hold it, because I knew I would be tempted to ask if I saw her again. Of course I did but not alone. Cora was at family dinner and I couldn't seem to manage the entire meal without sweating. I had completely forgotten to ask cora's permission. Regina asked me if I was alright I simply said yes and hoped Cora didn't suspect a thing till I got the ring from Ruby to show her I was serious.

I was practically sweating the next night after Ruby got off work. I pressed up close to her trying to hide the trade because well I don't know I just felt to nervous that if anyone found out then Regina would know. I gave Ruby a big hug and a peck on the cheek before hurrying off.

Present:

I did get the ring back of course and I asked Ruby to drive me to Regina's to see Cora while Regina was working. I had heard Cora was watching Henry and wanted to use it to my advantage while I had a teachers ed short day. I wasn't expecting that Cora was sharing babysitting with Katherine. No was I expecting introductions to lead to all that it did.

"Miss Swan. What do I owe for this visit? Regina is not here." It's the same cold tone I hadn't really received in a few good months.

"Good afternoon Cora, I hope it's not a bother I had Ruby bring me there was something I wanted to speak with you about." I said when she answered the door we stepped inside just a bit to speak more openly,

"Ah so that's your whores name." I gaped like a fish not sure where this was coming from.

"What did you just say?" Ruby growls in defense.

"You heard her." Katherine's familiar voice came from behind Cora. I couldn't believe my ears. Why would they assume such a thing.

"I assure you Cora she is not my-" "oh don't try and kid me dear I've seen you these past few days all close and giddy with her, kissing her cheek trading secret gifts. I'm no fool. Regina might think your miss perfect but your nothing but a player. A whore." I gasped an quickly wiped a lone tear before it could be seen.

It was then I heard a slap. Ruby had slapped Cora. Then a thunk and I reach out to catch Ruby under the impression someone had swung a punch.

"Grandma please stop." I hear Henry say and I let my mouth open speechless that he had just witness such things. I then notices heels click and pause from where he was. This was just before Ruby was out of my arms and I could only feel the force of each thump beneath my feet. Ruby and Katherine were have a really tousle and there was seriously nothing I could do about it. What felt like forever before Cora tried interrupting them and Henry ran to me in hopes of staying safe really did nothing to break the two up. Another few minutes passed and still no progress.

Until suddenly a car door slammed. Heels hit pavement fast behind me and Henry cried out for his mommy.

"Enough!" The two for some reason sprung apart at Regina's pissed off voice than Cora's attempts. "What the hell is going on?"

"Regina I don't know" I stated still unsure what all really happened.

"I tell you what you girlfriend here has been hooking up with this bimbo." Cora shouted over me. I shook my head, why would she say this.

"I swear Regina I haven't!"

"It's true Regina we followed them for days they have been spoiling each other in gifts and been giddy and secretive." I couldn't help but cry out it wasn't true. Regina sighed heavily as if disappointed then asked Henry to go upstairs for a little while.

"Katherine, Cora, and Miss Lucas all this was uncalled for truth or not I expect more manners while in the presence of my son. Go to the kitchen and get cleaned up. And Katherine make sure you fix ruby's face before she bleeds a more over my white floors.

"Miss Swan would you like to explain why my mother and best friend seem to think your friend and you are shagging. You better have a good explanation if you don't wish for me to end this right here and now." I swallow thickly even though I have nothing to hide. Suddenly though her threat send me boiling over the edge. I realize she is completely serious that if for a moment I don't sound truthful she would call our whole relationship off.

"I can't believe this! You want to end it just like that just because they assume I'm fucking my best friend."

"Language!" She gasps.

"No that's bullshit I just spent a fucking month running around with Ruby searching for the perfect ring to give you. I come here today hoping to get your mothers blessing and instead I get you so close to dumping me before I can even ask you to marry me." I huff in deep breaths until I realize what I've just done. "Shit." I mutter out loud trying to hear over my thumping heart.

"You- she.. But."

"Regina I'm sorry it was really suppose to be something much more romantic and really I doubt you mom want to approve now but I wanted you to have this ring in hopes I can make it more fitting for you on the day we marry that is if you say yes." I pull out the velvet box in my jacket pocket. I pop the lid open I hear a gasp and yet I hear no words yet.

"Regina, please say something. Will you marry me?"

"Yes. Yes!" She says then repeats it more enthusiastically pulling me into a kiss. I'm left breathless again but this time from her lips sucking all the I have in me with just one kiss. As we break for air we hear from in the kitchen a few awss followed by a hiss from Ruby. Katherine apologizes as quickly and then continues to say something more.

"I'm sorry more for than just hitting you, I accused you without even knowing you. I'm not usual one to judge others but Cora said Regina might be in trouble I immediately do anything if it's about her." She admitted an I could practically feel Regina roll her eyes. We barely kept listening as Regina and I pressed our foreheads together and kissed softly for a few minutes.

"Oh so you have feelings for her is it, just have to defend her honor if you can't have her. I get it, I don't mind taking a hit just damn as long as I deserve it." They both chuckle.

"No she's just my best and probably only friend." Katherine says. "Besides its not like you can blame me really you two did act really suspicious."

"Oh come on it's not like I flat out kissed her. I really would have maybe six seven years ago when I first met her an I thought she was just some teen who could actually handle me but those days are gone. She is like a sister to me." It's then that Cora butts in between the two clearly flirting woman.

"Will someone go get Regina so I can see what kind of ring she's got on her finger!" I was more than likely she knew we could hear which caused us to bust out laughing and choosing then to enter the kitchen together smiling. Regina raises her hand from mine to show off the ring. My ears begin to ring.. Loudly and only getting louder the longer they all give high pitched squeals.

reviews please!

I seriously like this chapter. I didn't want a cliff hanger it there is your drama. Not saying the isn't more to come because who knows.. Well I guess I do but really wasn't this just great drama.

So I heard Ruby and Katherine, here you are. Seriously hope everything is worth the wait.
