A little less seeing and a little more feeling 15

*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.

I'll be glad if you like the chapter but you may end up hating me.


Cora, Regina, and myself sat by the kitchen counter. Regina had me wrapped up in her arms while we listened to Ruby and Katherine chat about wedding plans as if they had been best friends for years. Not their own wedding of course though the way it sound perhaps it could be. I melted in Regina's arms more as her thumbs soothed over my stomach. One hand rested over my own hand and one below neither of us knew how we got so tangled up in each other but we were both not willing to let go anytime soon.

Once I have told my original plans on how I was going to propose Cora began apologizing profusely to the point of Regina threatening to kick her out if she didn't stop. It was done and over with I got my yes and someday this would all be a funny story to tell.

A little less than five months pasted before I moved in with Regina and Henry. Rafik was a little confused with the moving but once we arrived to Regina's he quickly calmed down as if he knew we were at our new home. I was very glad I had him for so long that he was now use to me moving a lot and my late nights. He didn't ever seem to complain too much and now getting to work would be so much easier. Breakfast at home, less walking to work, and so much more of joining in with taking Henry to school.

There was a lot of work to be done even after five months since I asked Regina to marry me. Regina and I were just as busy with work as we were with wedding plans. It all had to be finished by the end of the month because of wedding day was the first weekend of the next. The place was going to be the beach or maybe if august could pull a favor the place I took Regina to see the orchestra. Cora didn't let us try just so happens her mansion is bigger. Big enough to hold the wedding and reception in the backyard.

The colors was all up to Regina. Her favorite color being purple I told her to use it however she wanted to. She would be beautiful no matter what. Deciding based on how Ruby kept getting on me about getting to experience the white dress an bridal party that I would wear a slim dress and have a bridal shower. Regina was not too opposed to this though since she wouldn't have to go through the same things as her last marriage. Neither one of us though we're settling for a last minute shower or bachelor party. We got ready for our own parties together she helped pick something out for me and I told her she just had to were one of her power suits as I like to call them due to how confident they made her sound.

Ruby and Katherine came for Regina and I. They tried playing it off as though they did not just come from being together anyways but we could tell. Ever since I asked Regina to marry me they had set their differences aside and began dating. They liked to think we couldn't tell, which we only humored them when they told us, but we could tell if they have seen each other in a few days or not. This paticular rime they didn't take there time getting from their cars to the front door. This meant that they weren't kissing which meant they were just together before now.

Going with our desiginated party leaders we had to part ways. I promised to behave if Regina did and she promised back. Ruby set me up in the car with Rafik who hadn't had much to do yet today and off we went to the diner. A section just do us Ruby said granny wanted to close early and might still depending on the rush. Everyone showed up within a half hour of arriving. The diner was moderately slow so Granny put up the closed sign an waited till everyone but our party to go before joining us. Nobody felt more happy than me. I had all my closest friends and all my friends that were pretty much family by now here to celebrate with me.

Just when I thought nothing could be better Ruby said she had one more surprise, but the moment Granny said she was going to open back I knew it had to be something I wouldn't like either. Sure enough Rafik right beside me ad we entered the establishment booming with music I knew I was at a strip club. It wasn't for my benift I knew that but still I walked in slightly embarrassed because I know Ruby likes to party single or not. This was her way of getting drinks and fun for cheaper. So in a way I let her say it was my party. I drank a few and everything went under my name. The bill was to be settled at the end of the night.

I couldn't believe Ruby at some point set me up with a lap dance. I tried to refuse but I didn't even have an urge to touch so I didn't see the point. I decide to sit an blush with embarrassment an get it over with than to fight. Ruby comes up behind me to whisper in my ear.

"Come on Em losen up. This is you last chance to have freedom remember." Her words were slurred but understandable without a doubt. I shake my head at her slightly surprised she could still encourage something like that while dating someone like Katherine. "Rubes you might want to but I don't besides nobody feels like Regina does."

"Oh? how Caan you tell? So if you had another girl still be no problem?"" I could hear the challenge in her tone of voice. Knowing Ruby saying no wasn't an option. I took her challenge.

"If you gave me the same girl though I'd know. It's all about aura. Hey what was your name?" I asked to hear her voice to compare next time if need be. As the second girl comes Ruby says she's just my type making me scoff a little. She has no faith I think with a smirk. Then again i almost lost mine the moment the woman touches me even before that it's the subtle clicking I hear that catches my attention. Then the woman brushes her hand over my thigh an I gasp. This was not just any woman. She hesitate at my breath but turns round and gives me a lap dance. I can't help but grabbed her hips and let my hands follow along.

"Gina" I croak out. No question this was my fiancé. I couldn't help but to keep holding on feeling if I let go I would be exposed. My core was on fire and i didnt want to let regina slip from my grasp not knowing yet if this was a test of some kind or meant to be a sweet gesture. "Gina I know it you." I say.

"But how?" Regina asks now stopping to face me while sitting in my she starts giving her excuse. "Ruby and Katherine had this whole thing planned down to go into to the same bar. I didn't know until I got here."

"That does sound like them two." I said still unsure if it was a test or not.

"I wanted to surprise you when I first saw you it got me so frustrated waiting an watching, I wanted to come shove the girl right off you, and do it myself." My thighs clenched at her words. I just wanted to get out of here right now. Thankfully I had Regina the rest of the night though. My enjoyment went up so much that I shared a few more drinks with her while Katherine had to force Ruby to stop drinking to be able to drive later.

it was sometime the next morning I woke with Regina in my arms that I remember getting home and the amount of lap dances I received once here. Those only led to Regina Laying me down on the bed and grinding against my crouch facing me. I remember the way our clothes some how slipped away which brought friction of skin on skin. I couldn't tell what time it was just that by the way I was laying the clock was on the other side of Regina. Delicately I pushed the button that caused the alarm clock to beep and say the time. I swore lightly, it was nice that David had helped me move my things in but things like this I realized just wasn't practical for living with someone else.

Regina groaned and rolled to face me. I had hoped it wouldn't wake her. She seemed not to mind though as she asked what was wrong. After telling her it was late afternoon she and I managed to get up promptly. We had to go get Henry from her mothers house. As Regina opened the door for me she made a squeak sound out of surprise.

"Mother?! What are you doing here?"

"Well I was waiting on you to come get Henry but I thought after a little bit that perhaps you two got a little more wild than I thought you would."

"Mommy, momma ar'nt wild gran'ma." We all laugh a little as we back track back inside bringing Henry and Cora in as well.


A month and six days later Regina and I must part ways again to partake in the tradition of not seeing each other the day of the wedding. I took to sleeping in the guest room so not to take Rafik away from home over night. I woke an hour before Regina despite how tired I was from not fall asleep easily. I was now so use to sleeping with Regina I couldn't get comfortable without her. I let Ruby in so she could help me take things to the car and so that I didn't forget anything important. After surviving Ruby's speedy driving we get to Cora's house no problem with Katherine help on directions. I didn't want to tell Regina where I was getting ready just in case she wanted to see me before the wedding.

I get in the dress and in less than an hour Taylor touches up a little more. I need to get makeup on so Ruby runs out of the room to find the bag that must have been left in the car. After about ten minutes I begin getting impatient and fluff my dress so not to step on it. I open the door and yell.

"Ruby did you find the makeup!" I doubt she's inside so I go to exit the doorway fully only to get pushed back gently. "What the-"

"It's me Emma Regina is here don't come out she might have seen your face but nothing else. Sorry we thought Ruby would have you busy."

"Oh god!" I blush and hid behind the door not sure how I look right now. We haven't even touched my hair yet. Was it still messy from bed? The door clicks closed Katherine was laughing on the other side at me. I burn hotter. I can hear Katherine exchange words with Regina and Regina said something I could t quite hear but they passed the door. Just before the steps got to far Regina says to me through the door.

"Just so you know darling I don't think you need the make up. You look stunning right now." I gasp does that mean she saw the dress?

"Katherine said you didn't see the dress oh my god what have I done!" I say slightly panicked until she give a small chuckle.

"No dear I didn't see it. Just-"

"Hey! What are you doing. You can't see her yet. Get! Get both of you." Just them Ruby interrupts and I have no idea what Regina was going to say. I pout as I step away from the door listening to the commotion behind it. Regina cries out for Katherine to run and the two run laughing mischievously the whole way down the hall. Ruby enters with a huff suddenly she is pulling me about trying to distracts me from the thought that Regina is just a few doors away.

It just so happened or possibly cleverly planned every time I thought Ruby might be gone longer than a moment someone else came to see me. David and his wife Mary, Henry and Cora, and then August. They were all like family or about to be. Henry was mine but until Regina and I got married we had yet to share custody of Henry only to be fair. Finally with my makeup done, my hair finished, and nobody else possibly coming to see me I get ready to leave the room I've been cooped up in for hours. The Taylor left and Ruby gone just a moment need to get a camera I made my own way to the door. My hand was on the door when I hear chattering coming up the hall.

"She was so wonderful" I stood stock still at this. "I can't believe she is going to say that." One woman said with sniffle. My heart swelled as I realized it must be about Regina's vows. I wrote my own but now I wanted more than anything to see her right now. Waiting till the girls pass giggles, sniffles, and all before opening the door. Turns out I couldn't get a break though and Granny and Ruby aren't far from my door. We all hear Katherine telling Regina she has to make sure the coast clear meaning Ruby is the first on to get me back in my room.

"You're so whipped." I mutter but not low enough for it to go unheard she swats my arm hard enough to make me rub it with regret. "Ow just kidding!" I yelp.

"Best be," she says. "Besides it your wedding I want to see her surprised at the right time when she sees you."

"My little girl you look so wonderful." That's the first time I think I've heard Granny crying before.

"Oh Granny don't cry it's okay I am glad you made it though." I say giving her a hug. She tells me she wouldn't miss this for the world. Ten minutes later it's my turn to walk out to the alter. I feel shaky ore than I have all my life just because I can't believe this real sometimes.


Going down that aisle with Granny at my side added to that priceless moment I'd never had before now. Granny gave me away, after saying my vows I wiped my eyes feeling such raw emotions, and then Regina began her vows which only brought on more.

"Emma I don't know what I did to deserve you. When I met you i didnt know I'd be happily standing like this in such sort amount of time. The truth is I fell so hard for you. I've never been so easy to get but you get me. I have never been fully understood but the way you look at me with your sweet eyes I feel as though you can see all of me without even trying. I can only hope that all these years ahead as I am faithful, trusting, and caring i will be able to make you feel the same."

I cried and cried for a while until even the pastor let regina give pretense and hold me till I stopped. Just like perfect partner she wipe my tears away without a complaint. I'd never felt so moved by words moved on even if I was still replaying her words in my head I kept on. Henry gave us our rings. We exchanged them and sealed every promise we made with a kiss.

The reception hit off right away. Not that we really knew seeing as Regina and I were miles away wrap up in each other. We only just faintly heard what we were suppose to do and did it. Our only concern was not letting go and making sure Henry was settled in for the night before heading out to our honeymoon plans in the cabin by the edge of town.


Two years later:

"I Judge Huwey grant Mrs and Mrs Swan-Mills custody of their latest foster child of one year, Lindsey. Be it my understanding that you two share custody of Henry Mills an having asked Lindsey if she finds her new home safe and secure I find no reason to believe she will not remain happy in your care. Congratulations on your adoption's success."

There was a sudden standing ovation by our friends and family. Ruby and Katherine, cora, and of course Henry who was more than happy his sister was getting adopted. At 12 he was a wonderful bug brother to Lindsey who was 6 herself. Where normally a judge would only get frustrated st the noise this appeared to be one of the few times his gavel didn't hit objectively. He in fact dismissed himself for a break meaning this was a more than welcome reaction. We all dispersed before to lon seeing as celebrations could not go on if the little princess guest of honor wasn't there to begin it.

Just when there felt like no end to the fun, junk food, and party kids began crashing. Parents began needing to leave and everyone else left as soon as they noticed the main guest was to tired to continue. She needed a bath and a story for bed an knowing our little girl it would turn into two if she bated her lashes. I switched with Regina for story time so she could get started on the what knew had to be a mess. Rafik now free to do as he pleased in retirement slept with Lindsey evernight. As no new dog could replace my best bud I learned how to trust using a cane. One whichand I didn't need to follow the so familiar hallway to the room I shared with my wife.

Regina joined me as quickly as possible. She grabs me from behind and growled slightly as she nuzzles into my neck. I knew that sound better than anyone by now. I spun around an followed her to exactly where she wanted me. To my shock I was held against the wall and ravaged inches of my life. I'd swear it by way my knees gave again and again only for her to catch me and push me further.

"Gina.. that.. was amazing! " I said while gasping for breaths. Her dark sultry laugh makes me shiver.

"Just showing my appreciation."

"For what?" I asked confused.

"For completing my family. For making this our family."

"Ah then I suppose it's my turn." I said not hesitating to claim her lips.

"Hmm. What for?" She mimics once we break for air.

"For being the one constant most beautiful person in my life." There was no more works needed as she knew I meant more than just seeing her beauty. I love feeling it too. Her kindness, charm, as well as her soft soft sexy skin.

(An we kept living happily ever after!)

-The end-
