A/N. Well it's here. The final chapter..and what a long one..but I am happy with it. Hope you are too. Thanks for reading. :)
A swirling mass of light opens in front of a barn. Out falls two bodies, quickly followed by a third. Rolling to a stop, all three women slowly stand up. Regina grabs Emma's hand, as they glance around. Emma sees where they are. "We did it...looks like we are back at that barn."
Squeezing Emma's hand, Regina says, "It assumes so, but when. What were you thinking prior to jumping in."
"I was thinking about when we first seen that portal, about the party at the potluck, us talking at the park." Just then Emma hears a buzzing noise. She spies a familiar object on the ground. "It's my phone!" Picking it up, she sees the caller I.D as her dad. Touching the screen, she tentatively answers, "Hello?"
"EMMA! Are you alright!" Hearing the voice of her dad saying her name, she breaks down. Regina grabs the phone, "David?" Regina listens, then, "Yes she is fine, it's complicated"... "we know about the portal, it's now gone." More listening, then "We will meet you back at the diner, it's long story." Regina ends the call, hands the phone back to Emma. "Well seems we returned at about the same time we left." Putting her hand on Emma's arm, "Hey, are you alright?"
"Yeah, just hearing his voice, the emotion behind it, it just hit me." Emma sees Marion standing, holding her arms around her, a little frightened , "Marion? I know this is all a bit confusing right now, but it will be okay. Come on, lets get out of here."
Stopping just short of the cruiser, Emma glances at Regina, then herself, then sniffs, "What do you think, should we go get cleaned up or go as is. I feel like it's been forever since I had a bath."
Smirking, Regina waves her hand. "I have magic again, dear. There all nice and clean smelling again."
"Thanks. I really need to learn to do that."
"I take it, you would like to start up your lessons again?"
"Well since I seem to really like my teacher, yea I think I could use more lessons," winks Emma.
Smirking, Regina opens the rear passenger door. Marion squints at the object in front of her. "What...is this...thing."
"Think of it as a horse-less carriage. It's called a car, though some people's idea of a car is a yellow, metal coffin on wheels." Marion gets into the back, then Regina gets in front, all the while Emma rolls her eyes on that last statement.
"Regina..."
"Yes dear?" Regina puts her hand on Emma's.
"Don't disk my bug." Emma grins, as she pulls her cell out. "I am going to call Ruby and see if she can meet us outside the diner. She can take Marion, help her get acquainted with Storybrooke." Pulling her cell, Emma makes the call, as they head back to town.
As they approach Main St., Marion looks out the windows, seeing all the various buildings, cars and such. "What a odd looking place."
While Regina is on her phone, Emma glances in the rear view mirror, smiling at Marion. "You will get use to it. May even appreciate some of our modern conveniences such as indoor plumbing, hot showers, modern cooking appliances, Television."
Closing her cell phone, Regina responds, "I left Robin a message to me us at the diner."
"How did you do that...with that...thing." Marion points at the phone in Regina's hand.
"Yes, this is one of our modern inventions. This and other things will eventually be explained to you. As for Robin, he still hasn't quite taken to these yet so not sure if he will receive the message I left."
Seeing the dejected expression on Marion, Regina reiterated, with a smile, "We will get you back with your family, just be patient."
Soon the cruiser pulls up near Granny's. The three women exit the vehicle, and enter the small picket fenced area. They are greeted by Ruby and Belle. Emma gives short introductions, then tells Ruby they may want to take Marion through the back entrance so as not to draw too much attention to her, and overwhelm her with everyone. Once Ruby and the other two head off, Emma turns to Regina, takes her hand, and approaches the steps to the diner. At the top, she pauses, turns to Regina, looking nervous. "Okay, are we ready to go in?"
"Just one second dear," smirks Regina. She then approaches close to Emma, gazing in her eyes, and then kisses her, trying to give her encouragement, but both women get swept up into the kiss. Finally, breaking apart, breathless, Emma grabs the door and opens it. Upon entering, both women blushing, they first see Henry standing near Mary-Margaret and David. Henry turns, "Mom!...Ma!" He bursts out, as they rush forward, enveloping their son.
"Henry..." Emma stammers, as she tries to quell her tears.
Regina is also having a hard time not getting emotional at seeing her son. "We missed you so much!"
"What?" Henry hugs back, but at the same time is wondering what is going on. "You just saw me a couple hours ago..."
Emma is barely able to kiss the top of his head, realizing how much he has really grown, "Kid, you have no idea...it's a long story."
Emma glances up past Henry. Seeing her parents, she rushes to Mary-Margaret, "Mom..." she cries as she grasps her mother in a hug. Slightly taken back by the affection, but quickly recovering as tears spring in her eyes, Snow hugs her daughter. Emma moves her head on her mother's shoulder, and calls out, "Dad." David envelopes his wife and daughter, putting a hand on Emma's head as he is also overwhelmed by the display of affection from Emma.
Emma mumbles, "I am so sorry I treated you both so badly."
"What? Shh...it's alright Emma." Snow pulls back, grasping Emma's face in both her hands.
Shaking her head, Emma continues, "No...I didn't realize what I was doing till recently...but I do love you, both of you. You are my parents." Snow once more pulls Emma in for a hug.
David glances over at Regina, "What happened...what's going on.."
"It's a long story," Regina starts as Emma pulls out of her parents embrace.
"Yea...uh...this may take a while, but we sort of got sucked into that time portal."
"What? How...when?" Both David and Snow talk at once. "We just saw you not that long ago."
Laughing, Emma shakes her head, "Uh...technically, no, it's been more like three or four days...I lost count."
"Four days!" David looks incredulous.
"Can we sit, and we will try to explain what happened." Regina indicates the empty booth. The Charming's move to sit on one side, with Henry in between his grandparents, while Regina slides over in the other side seat.
Emma glances around, sniffing, "I am going to go uh...get us some food, I am starving..." She looks at Regina, who nods.
Smiling, Emma heads off towards the tables still laden with food, but turns back again, once more glancing at Regina adoringly, smiling. "You want coffee?"
Regina nods, "Yes, that would be lovely...Emma." She gives the same look back. A brief pause, then Emma shakes her shoulders in giddiness, and heads over to the food.
Once Regina turns back to the three across the table, she begins the story. As she starts, she off and on glances towards the blonde, who quickly comes back, setting a cup of coffee down in front of Regina.
"Thank you dear."
"You are welcome, your Majesty," quirks Emma as she heads off once more. But shortly she is carrying a glass of water and a mug of beer. She again, puts the water near Regina, "thought you might like some water," as she gazes at smiling brown eyes. She then puts the mug of beer down.
"That was very thoughtful Emma, thank you."
"Right...okay...uh..back to the food. Be right back."
A small adoring smile appears on Regina's face, spreading to her eyes. Turning back to the others, she sees all three of them staring at her, with knowing grins. "What?"
"Oh, nothing." Snow just smiles, as the other two shake their heads.
Regina continues the story, having just told about how she and Emma had gone to check out the portal, and they had just been sucked into it.
Suddenly a plate choke full of food is placed on the table, situated between the two woman, as Emma plops in her seat.
"Did you leave anything, or did you just bring the whole pot luck with you," Regina smirks, glancing at Emma. The plate is full of BBQ wings, potato salad, macaroni salad, a two mini burgers, a couple of ribs, some chips, a variety of raw vegetables, pasta salad and a variety of other items.
"Ha ha...very funny Regina." Picking up her fork, Emma picks up some pasta salad, "I got us both something. Not sure about you, but I really like to have real food again, not slim pickings." Smirking, she puts the fork up close to Regina's lips, "Besides, I found some food even you would like. Here, try it."
Regina takes the offering, mulls the taste, then smirks, "Well yes, very good." Looking over at the wings, she asks Snow, "Are those the 'famous' wings you mentioned earlier in my kitchen? Oh..and what was that emergency you had to rush off to."
Snow starts laughing, "Yes, those are the wings I mentioned. It was those I had to rush off for." Eyeing first her husband, then her daughter, who both suddenly found the ceiling very fascinating to look at, "You see, when I got home, I found these two..." She points her finger at both, "covered in BBQ sauce. Apparently they had a slight argument about what went in the sauce, and I guess the next thing, sauce started flying."
"She started it!" "He started it!" Both Emma and Charming spoke at the same time.
"I don't care, you both left a mess, that I am still cleaning up! I swear you two act like children at times." Snow groans, but she has a smile on her face.
"Don't I know it.." mumbles Regina.
"Hey! By the way, you need to try these...they are the best wings ever." Emma once more brings up a wing to Regina's lips, who eyes the messy item, then delicately takes a bite.
"Hmm...not bad...could use a bit more kick." Regina smirks.
"Kick...I will give you kick, your Majesty." Emma winks, as Regina blushes.
Finally, both women regale their story, in between eating, each sharing their part in the story. All through tale, three sets of eyes continue to watch the interaction between Emma and Regina. The occasional feeding of each other, the adoring looks and smiles. Something has definitely changed between the two women.
"Oh, Henry," Regina grabs the bag with the storybook, "Here, you can have this back. It's had quite an adventure." She hands over the book to her son.
"Thanks, I am glad it helped out." Henry winks, then opens the book to check it out. Flipping through the pages, he notices some changes, as parts of the story his mom's just told have been added. One picture shows Emma and Regina, dancing at the ball. The drawing apparently is showing the reader the non-glamour view of the two women. "So...you two danced together," Henry smirks at his mothers.
Slightly blushing, Emma responds "Yea, since we were under the glamour spell, we needed to blend in."
"Uh..huh...right." Henry flips to another page, where Snow points at a picture of Regina holding a crying Emma.
"What is this?" Snow looks at her daughter, and Regina.
"Oh, that was...uh...right after..well.." Regina takes Emma's hand, and squeezes it, "you were...err.." The former Evil Queen gives pixie haired woman a knowing look.
"Ah. Just after The Queen finally got the best of me." Snow winks.
Another few pages, and it's David this time pointing at a picture of him and Regina, by a fire. "What is this, seems almost...familiar."
Regina thinks, then looks down, embarrassed. "We were discussing how marriages in our old realm typically were nothing but business transactions. I don't recall anything else."
David grins, "I seem to remember talking about true love, and how you would go to the ends of the earth for Emma, and vice versa." He laughs at Regina's raised eyebrows, "I also recall you saying something about 'Hope you remember that' when I said that Emma's parents would be crazy not to like you for all you have done for her." Reaching across the table, he places his hand on Regina's. "Regina, you are family. Deal with it."
Not having anything to say to that, Regina just glances at both him and Snow, and just squeezes his hand.
Snow grins at Emma, "Sooo...looks like you finally became part of the storybook. How does that feel, and does this..." She indicates with a finger waving between the two women across from her, "mean you are not leaving?"
Emma takes Regina's hand again, she first gazes at Regina, then back to her parents and son. "Let just say that not only was I able to watch my parents fall in love, but well, now Henry, can see the same thing in the storybook with his own parents."
Henry pipes up, "I seen that happening way before now Ma..."
"Uhmm...yea..well anyways to answer your question about leaving..." Emma gives a pause, then puts her arm around Regina, "Why would I ever leave...I got everything I need, and nothing that I don't." With that she picks up her glass of beer, and wait's for the others to follow suit, then they clink their various cups and glasses together. "To family and home."
"To family and home," the other four repeat.
Just then the door opens and in steps Tinkerbell. Looking around, she spies the Charming-Swan-Mills family and saunters over, all the while glancing at Emma and Regina, seeing how close they are sitting.
"Well now, don't you two look all snugly and cozy." Tink smirks at Regina's eye roll, then laughs. "I take it you two have figured it out."
Regina sighs, then, "Yes, and as much as I hate to admit it, maybe a little help from you."
"Ha!"
Putting up a finger to quiet the green fairy, Regina continues, "I do need to show you something though." She takes Emma's left hand and then turns it, exposing the blondes wrist. "Do you know what this is?"
Eyeing Regina with a raised eyebrow, Tink scoffs, "I know what a tattoo is, Regina."
Huffing, the brunette groans, "Nooo..what is the image of." During all this, Regina continues to hold Emma's hand, occasionally rubbing her thumb alongside Emma's.
"Hmm...looks like a flower of some sort, what of it. I am not a flower fairy, sorry."
David chimes in, after he stares at the tattoo, forming a thought. "Hey, it almost looks like the flower on our family crest." Everyone glances at David, "Well it use to be King Georges, till we over threw him. We just adopted it." David flips though the storybook, till he finds a picture of a soldier with a shield, on the shield is the mentioned crest. A field of blue flowers over a lion. He points to the flower. It does seem very similar to the one on Emma's wrist.
"You are correct. But do you know the name of that flower." It wasn't a question, as Regina knew what it was.
David scratches at his chin, "No, I never really looked at the history behind the crest."
Smirking, Regina takes the hand, and lightly kisses the tattoo, "It's known as clematis ville de lyon or the lyon flower. Spelled L-Y-O-N." She sits back and watches Tink's face, as well as the others.
As each person comes to a realization of the word, it's is Tink that exclaims, "You're shitting me?"
"Language Tink," Regina laughs.
"Yea..whatever," Tink waves her hand, as she looks incredulous at Regina. Then sits back on her heels, crossing her arms, with a knowing wink, "So then..the dust WAS right...well...sort of..."
Looping her arm around Emma's, Regina smiles. "Maybe, but see the thing is, the dust didn't lead me to Emma..."
"And I said it could possibly lead you to someone close to the same traits."
"You didn't let me finish." Regina scolds the fairy. Placing a hand on her chest, near her heart, "It was this. I fell in love with Emma way before I knew about this," Regina points at the tattoo.
"Well how ever it happened, I am happy for you...the both of you." Tink once more smirks, then winks.
"Thanks Tink," responds Regina.
Tink nods and heads off toward the bar.
Regina turns back, seeing Snow staring at her, with big eyes and a grin. "What now?"
"You love Emma...I'm just..." Snow starts to cry, "soooo happy for you!"
Regina glances at Emma, who just shrugs, then Emma says quietly, "Don't look at me."
Turning back to Snow, Regina pats Snows hand, "Yes dear, we have established that, already."
"You two are just so …..adorable..."
"Mooom..." Emma rolls her eyes, then says to Regina, "I think we just need to let her get it out of her system." Regina nods.
Emma stands up, "Well I need to go get all this grease off my hands and freshen up, I will be back." She heads toward the back hallway, just as the front door to the diner opens.
Robin enters, with Roland at his side. He quickly scans the crowd then sees Regina, who has already seen him and has stood up, approaching him.
"Regina, I am sorry, I finally received your message. What was this about you and Emma going back in time, through that portal, bringing someone back?" Robin queries, as Regina turns just enough so Robin's back is turned away the back corner. "I didn't quite understand what that was about."
"Well yes, it is true, Emma and I, accidentally went through my sister's portal. It's a long story, and will be glad to tell you another time, but I just needed you to come here." Regina glances past Robin briefly, as she catches Marion's eye.
Marion has risen from her seat, and is standing with her hands to her face, trying not to cry. During all this, Roland is first, smiling and waving at Snow White, but then he fidgets and starts to check out the diner. His eyes suddenly go very wide and he yells, as he starts to run, "MOMMA!"
"Roland!" Roland launches into Marion's arms, as she lifts him, hugging him tightly. "Oh..how I have missed you!" She kisses his face..
Robin turns at the sound of his son's words, "Ma...Marion?" He quickly turns to Regina, who nods, then back to Marion, "I...I don't under..what...how?"
" I..." By this time, Emma had emerged, having walked up next to Regina, who gives the brunette a quick touch on her arm, "We couldn't leave her back there, so we brought her with us."
Robin is still standing, flabbergasted, not believing what he is seeing. As he rushes to Marion, she puts Roland on the floor, then cries, "Robin..." as he grips her in a tight hug.
"I though I had lost you, that you were dead...I..."
"Shh...as Regina said, it's a long story, but I would have been dead, if she and Emma had not rescued me, and brought me here." Marian pulls back from Robin, then as he wraps his arm around her shoulder, she looks at Regina, "Thank you. You promised I would be back with my family, and you came through with that promise. Thank you."
"Yes, Regina...thank you...I...uh.."
"You are both welcome, it's the least I could do."
Just as Emma and Regina were turning to head back to their table, they see Marion smack Robin on the chest, "You, though..are in a bit of trouble...you and the Evil Queen?" Marion winks at Regina, who then laughs as she grips Emma's arm, leaving Robin floundering.
Emma approaches her parents. "So...are you finally going to tell us my little brother's name, or do I just keep calling him..'Hey little brother,' cause that's a bit long..ya know." She stands with her arms crossed, as Regina sits back down.
David grins, "Oh yea, I guess that is why everyone is here." He stands up, taking a glass of water, he uses a spoon to clink it, getting everyone's attention. "Well now that everyone is here, full of good food, good beer, let us proceed to why we are here. As you all know, back in our land, we would have a huge naming ceremony, but now that our home is here in Storybrooke, I think this new way of celebrating, among family and friends, is a wonderful way to do so. So let us, that is let me and my wife, introduce to you all, the newest member of Storybrooke, our son, Prince Neal Baelfire Charming."
Emma is a bit shocked and overwhelmed by her parent's choice in name, but deep down, she knows Neal would have been very honored. "Uh...wow...I...I think Neal would of loved that. But I think I will just call him Bae, or Little Bro," she quietly tells her parents, who both nod in understanding. All around them people are clapping and congratulating the name.
"Still feels weird I have an uncle that is 13 years younger than me." Henry pokes his finger at the baby, who grabs it.
"Kid, this whole place is weird...but ya know...it's home and that's all that matters," Emma grins, as she picks up her jacket, slipping it on, then picks up Regina's, holding it out. "Ready to go for a moonlight stroll Madam Mayor?"
"Why yes, I think a lovely walk is in order Sheriff Swan." Regina stands, and gracefully puts her arms through her jacket, then turns and locks eyes with green ones. "Thank you dear."
Gazing at Regina, Emma just nods shyly. Turning back to her parents, "Okay, we are heading out..we have had a very long, several days..." She quirks her eyebrows, "Well you know what I mean..anyways, see you all later...err..."
"Don't worry, Henry will stay with us tonight." Snow pipes in, as she gives both women a very, knowing look, then laughs as both women turn slightly red. "Go on, have a lovely walk."
"Err..yea...C'mon Regina, and Kid, don't stay up too late."
Henry just gives a very familiar cocky grin, "Have fun, and I love you both."
"Love you too Henry," Regina opens the door, but just as Emma moves past her, she glances back at the Charming's, a small smirk appearing, "Oh, and Snow, just to let you know, the one that cast the curse, becomes the new mayor..."
"Wait...what?...you are joking...right?" Snow scrutinizes the brunette, then turns to Charming. "She kidding right?...Regina..."
Regina shuts the door, laughing evilly, as she hears Snow continue to yell..."REGINA!"
Taking Emma's arm, the blonde glances incredulously at Regina, "Are you serious about you no longer being the mayor?" When Regina nods, Emma shakes her head, "I don't understand, I thought you loved being the boss, being in charge of everyone."
Regina smirks, "Oh, I do, but the curse was designed so that whoever cast it, would basically be in charge. In this case, the mayor. Since your mother cast it again, technically she is now the mayor.
"But my mom doesn't know anything about running a town."
Laughing, Regina quips, "It's very similar to running a kingdom. It's not as easy as it looks though. Long boring council meetings, budget reports, other paper work, especially when it's late from the Sheriff's office. But relax, I suspect after about a week, or maybe two, Snow will come crawling to me, begging me to return to the position."
"Sooo...in the meantime, what are you gonna do? Aren't you going to get bored?"
"Well I plan on having several dinners, with Henry of course...oh..and you too." Regina smiles.
"Oh?" Emma gives a cheeky grin, "is that all you plan on doing with me?"
"You.." Regina pokes Emma in the nose, "Sheriff, will be busy keeping Storybrooke safe from runaway dogs, drunken dwarves, and double parked cars."
"So then you don't want to..like stop by...and keep me company, maybe..." Emma ponders, "bring me lunch."
"Do I look like Granny's Catering to you?" Regina stops, as she turns to Emma, glaring at those sea-green eyes.
"Noooo..but you do look good enough to...eat." Emma waggles her eyebrows.
"Miss Swan!" Regina blushes, as she shyly glances down.
"Yes Reggie?" Emma places her hand on Regina's chin, bringing the adorable brunette's head to face her. "Hey."
Regina gazes at Emma, her eyes taking in the face that haunts her dreams. "Do you really think this..can work?"
"What work?...Us? C'mon...we have been on each others ass since day one, but you know you like it." Emma smirks.
"Well you need to start eating better, all those bear claws and grilled cheese sandwiches are not good for you...at your age."
"Oh...this coming from a..what...sixty..."
"Ahhh ahhh...don't even go there Swan" Regina points her finger at Emma, "as for your taste in fashion, frankly my dear, it needs vast improvement."
"Yea well you need to chill out, put on some sweats or jeans, maybe a t-shirt or even a pullover, and sensible shoes once in a while."
"Ah...you need to remember to hang up you coat, pick up your clothes and such. I will not have a second child to take care of, our son is bad enough. Least I know where he received that particular trait."
"Hey...are you calling me and our son...slobs?"
"If the shoe fits, dear."
"Yea! Well...uh...umm.." At a loss for a new comeback, Emma, not wanting to end this little bantering game, blurts out, as both women have moved so close, face to face, that they can feel each others breath. "Well sometimes your a royal pain in my ass!" With that last outburst, Emma surges forward, planting her lips on those warm, delectable lips she has been wanting to kiss for hours. She put her hands on either side of Regina's face, as they move their heads around, bumping noses, trying to get more lips.
Moaning slightly, Regina savors the taste of those pink lips against hers, as she grasps Emma's hips with her hands, drawing her closer. "Emma..."
"Mmmm," Emma can't stop kissing the former mayor.
Emma moves her hand up, tangling it in dark tresses, as she bites Regina's lower lip, asking for and getting entrance, she delves her tongue into the warm mouth, as they both deepen the kiss. Desire mounts, as both women grasp at jackets, hands seeking a closer touch. Groaning, Emma pulls away, leaning her forehead against Regina's, "Whoa...I...that was..." breathless.
"Hmm...yes...yes it was," smiles Regina, also trying to breath.
Emma grabs Regina's hand as she walks backward, a glint in her eye.
Regina finally takes note where they are, "Emmmma...where are we heading?"
"Why Reggie, we are going home," As Emma pulls Regina down Mifflin Street, Regina gets a huge smile on her face, they head off toward the mansion, arm in arm.
At the front door, the two woman share another passionate kiss, while Regina fumbles for the doorknob, eventually getting the door open. She sort of backs in, pulling Emma with her, as they just can't seem to break their lips apart. Emma kicks the door shut, but then breaks off kissing, so both can breath.
Emma removes her jacket, hangs it up, and then reaches to remove Regina's, placing it next to hers on the coat rack.
Regina, all of sudden, looks down, biting her lip. "I uh...well...", she stutters, as she shyly looks at Emma, "would you like something to drink?".
The Sheriff finds that look so adorable, and puts her hand on Regina's cheek. "Hey, you okay? I mean..uh...we don't have to you know..., we can take it slow, no hurry..." as she give the brunette her best puppy dog look.
"No...no...I've been longing for this for awhile, it's just...how...why do you want me? I still feel like I don't deserve this...you." Tears pool in Regina's chocolate eyes, as she hugs herself.
Emma gathers Regina in a tight hug, patting and rubbing her back, laughs gently. "I am asking myself the same question," The brunette pulls back, looking up quickly, not sure she is going to like this. "I keep wondering what YOU see in me. I am just this lost, damaged, at times little girl still. But then I look at you, and my heart starts pounding, I can't breathe. Regina, we both deserve this. We have been through hell most of our lives. Both of us had walls so high and so thick, trying to keep out those who would hurt us. But damn it, we fought for our right to belong some where and to be happy. You have come so far not to have someone, hell...me, to love you."
"You really love me." Hope springs in Regina's eyes and face, as she steps back out of the hug.
"Yea. Yea..I do. I love you with every part of me. What's not to love, your gorgeous, sexy, smart, a great cook, you raised our son to be who he is today, so yea. I. Love. You. Regina Mills." With each statement, Emma moves closer and closer to Regina again.
Regina swallows, looking deep into those green eyes, and seeing nothing reflected back except love, adoration, and desire. "I ...I love you too Emma."
Emma puts her hands on either side of Regina's face, staring longingly into those eyes, "Regina?" she whispers, "when was the last time some one made love to you."
Taking a few intakes of breath, the former evil queen, quietly whispers back, "never."
Emma give her a questionable look, then Regina continues, "Till you, I was only in love with Daniel, and we never...well got that far. Oh, don't get me wrong, I have had plenty of men and women, but I took what I wanted for my own pleasure, but it was more about power, control and well some sexual release, but there was never any love involved." Once more, Regina looks down, ashamed of all her past miss deeds. "That's why I was so worried back there, in the castle tunnel. I know what she is capable of, how she uses seduction to get what she wants. When you were taken away, it just killed me inside, knowing you..could be forced to bend to her. I just was so ashamed and full of loathing..." Regina turns, dejected.
Emma gives a small chuckle, making Regina turn back, a questioning hurtful look. "I'm sorry, I wasn't laughing at you. It's just this is why you have come so far. You keep referring to the old you as her...she... you have separated that past from this woman in front of me." The blonde savior, moves closer to Regina, green eyes locking with chocolate ones. Placing hands on both sides of Regina's face, she moves, so slow, bringing their lips together. At first, the kiss is gentle, soft, but then Emma runs her tongue over a lower lip, asking permission. A groan, and then lips part as Regina winds her hands behind Emma, bring her closer, deepening the kiss. Breaths ragged, Emma starts placing small kisses across Regina's chin, "Please...I want to..." kisses a cheek, "love you...let me love you", another cheek is kissed, "you deserve to be loved", a nose is next, "let me show you how much I love you.." Emma goes back to those lush full lips, "Please...?"
With a low moan, Regina nods her head. Emma breaks the kiss, takes Regina's hand, and slowly climbs the stairs. At the top, the blonde sheriff realizes she has never seen Regina's bedroom, she stops and gives a smirk, "uh...where.." Regina just chuckles, "down the hall, third door on the right."
Grinning, Emma proceeds to pull the ex-mayor towards the bedroom. Once there, Emma looks in, seeing the inside of Regina's bedroom for the first time. It's impressive with dark furniture, a steel gray carpet, queen size bed, with a black duvet, and satin pillowcases, and sheets. "Nice" states the blonde.
She continues to slowly pull Regina into the room. Stopping, she turns, looking into Regina's eyes, for any signs of uncertainty. What she sees reflected back, is love, passion and the on set of desire. Seeing all that, Emma can no longer contain her passion for this woman. She surges forward, crashing her lips against Regina's, seeking and finding immediate entrance, tongues entwining. Regina grabs the back of Emma's head, while her other hand grasps at the front of her shirt. As the two women moan, gasping for breath in between desired filled kisses, Emma slowly un-tucks Regina's silk blouse, then starts to unbutton the top most button, then the next, each time, exposing more skin. Soon the blonde is kissing and licking along the brunettes neck, as Regina throws back her head. The blonde loves the scent and taste of this woman, subtle hint of apples and spice.
"Emma...yes...God! I...uh..." Regina just can't form any coherent words at the onslaught of passionate emotions. Her heart is pounding in her chest, heat coursing through her body, culminating at her center.
"Hmmm...taste...so...good,..my Queen"..mumbles Emma against the neck she is devouring.
"uh..Oh...I like that...when you...ah!...call me that..Oh..right there."
Finally the shirt is unbuttoned, Emma rolls the shirt off one shoulder, while still nuzzling Regina's neck, near her ear. The blonde then switches, repeats on the other shoulder, then pulls the blouse down and off Regina's arms, dropping it to the floor. In a swift move, she pulls off her sweater. Both now shirtless, looking at each other...Emma in her lacy cream bra and Regina in her silky black one. They move together again, lips seeking lips, arms around each other, hands moving up and down backs, Emma slowly backs Regina toward the bed, till the back of the dark woman's legs hit the bed. Breaking the kissing, she sits down, then scoots back, just as Emma stands, removes her boots, then unzips her jeans and shimmies out of them, leaving her in nothing but her bra and matching boy shorts. Next she reaches back, unhooks her bra, the whole time her eyes never leaving Regina's, as both woman's mounting desire is evident. As the bra drops, the blonde hooks her thumbs on both sides of her panties, and slowly slides them off, bending to step out of them. Once she kicks them out of the way, standing in her full glory, her creamy breasts, with light rosy nipples erect, and a patch of soft blonde down at the apex of her thighs. Regina gasps "You're...so...beautiful".
Giving Regina an awkward shy smile, she kneels near the bed, as she slowly remove one of Regina's boots, then the other, then crawls up on the bed, and slowly makes her way up to her soon to be lover's body. "No...you, Regina..." drawls Emma, "are the beautiful one". Once face to face again, Emma descends once more, to claim those lips she can't get enough of. Drinking in the passion this woman is giving, she runs her hand through the brunette's silky hair, whispering over and over.. "hmm..so...beautiful". As Emma takes in an ear lobe, sucking and licking the edge, she moves her hips over Regina's mound, grinding and rubbing. "Fuck...that feels so good.." whispers Emma in the ear and neck she is loving on.
Regina groans, runs her hands over the strong, muscle back of the savior, down to her hips, pulling her closer as she raises her own hips in a passion filled grind. She has never felt like this before. This much desire, passion...it's all new to her, never has she ever, ever felt this need before. A deep need that only Emma could ever fulfill. Gasping, her head rolling around as Emma continues to move along her neck, then down her chest, to the top of her breasts.
Emma slowly moves a hand behind, unclasps the item that is keeping her apart from what she wants. She pulls the bra off, tossing it over her head, then looks down at the natural tan breasts, full with dark, aroused nipples, just begging to be suckled. "Oh..sooo...gorgeous..." murmurs Emma as she lowers her head to take in one erect nub to suck as she moves her hand to slowly and gently squeeze the other breast.
Soon as her tongue touches the pebbled bud, she moans, as she slides her thigh between her lover's clothed thigh. Regina can feel Emma's wetness through the material, as she squeezes her thighs not just from the friction of Emma's leg, but also from the shot of arousal from where the blonde is lavishing attention to her breasts. "Em...ma...please...I..uh.." but once again, the former evil queen is left wordless as her body continues to ignite on fire.
"mmm...patience Regina...I want to worship you...the way you deserve to be worshiped" Emma mumbles around the breast she is loving on. Giving one last lick, she kisses between the two mounds, then down the firm stomach, kissing...tasting ever inch of this delicious body. As she is doing so, her hands are proceeding to unzip the black slacks. Suddenly Emma sits back, as Regina pushes her hips up, Emma moves down to sit over Regina's legs as she starts to pull the pants, along with panties, down and finally backs all the way to pull them off, dropping those also to the floor.
As Emma once more crawls along Regina's body, she glimpses the small dark patch of curls just above Regina's mound, then she is face to face with the brunette. Running her hand on the side of that beautiful face, Emma leans down to place a loving, warm kiss on those delicious lips she just can't get enough of. As their passion mounts even higher, the kiss deepens, as each fights for dominance in the others mouth. Tongues battling, hands roaming, touching every available skin.
"Emma..." Regina barely can whisper the name, she is so over come with emotions, desire for this woman. "Please...show...me...what...love is..."
Emma's tear filled eyes gazes deeply into Regina's soulful eyes, taking her hand, she places it over her own heart. "Regina...feel that?..can you feel how hard it's beating?" Regina nods, tears brimming, "That is how much I love you...and I promise you, I will show you love, over and over again..for the rest of our lives." Emma gently kisses the tears from Regina's eyes, then kisses her cheeks, then her nose, then her lips again.
Soon Emma moves to Regina's throat, kissing, licking and sucking from one side, down the middle. She finds one spot that has Regina squeaking, takes note of it, then moves on, but then goes back to that one spot, and once more, gets the same response. 'Hmm...must remember that spot..I love that noise she is making'. As Emma proceeds down the former Queen's chest, she moans, "God I love the taste of your skin...sooo sweet and spicy."
Regina's body is on fire, as she thrust her hips up, trying to touch some part of the woman she loves, "Emma...please.."
Smirking against the warm, heated skin, Emma continues her loving. She once more, takes in a hardened nipple, giving it a long, gently suckle, then lightly biting it, then licking the bite. Regina surges her head up, gasping, then slams her head back down when Emma switches to the other breast. She clamps her hand on the blonde head, pulling her mouth closer. "Feels..so good...Em..."
Letting go of the peaked tip with a pop, the blonde resumes her descent down Regina's body. A body that is in constant motion from all the desire and passion building. Emma places kisses, then lightly bites the skin along Regina's muscled belly, as she moves her own body around, so that she is between the brunette's thighs. Once she has her shoulder below Regina's hips, Emma glances up at Regina's face. The ex-mayor has her eyes tightly closed, her head is thrashing from side to side as she grips the sheets tightly in balled fists.
"Regina...open your eyes...look at me...please?"
Regina complies, as she stares at Emma's darkened green eyes, her pupils full of arousal.
Emma, slowly lowers her head, murmurs "I love you," as she swipes her tongue along Regina's soaked sex.
Regina cries out, "Emma! Oh...god...yes...!" as she bucks her hips towards Emma.
Hearing her name yelled in such passion from Regina, she surges forward, taking in the hard clit and sucking. Humming she moves her lips, as she runs her tongue around the twitching clit. Emma is having to brace her one arm on Regina's hips, to keep them stilled. "Mmm...you taste sooo good Regina." Emma knew she would never get enough of that taste. It was sweet, with some hint of spice and salt. She continues to lavish the folds, then runs her tongue all the ways down to Regina's entrance.
"I...Em...please...I need.."
"I know..." With that, Emma thrusts her tongue into Regina, flicking it in and out, then up along the folds, to her clit. Then back down, to thrust it in again. She can feel the sides throbbing, as Regina's impending release gets closer.
Meantime Regina's mind is in overload, with all her nerves short circuiting, with the feel of Emma's tongue flitting in and out. Then her mouth sucking on her clit. She grabs Emma's head, as she tries to grind her pussy on that wonderful tongue. Soon she is feeling the onset of her orgasm, as she mumbles, "Soo..good..Emm...I ...am almost..." then one final thrust of Emma's tongue and a thumb circling her clit, Regina falls over the edge into a undoing explosion, semi sitting up as she pulls Emma's face into her. "EMMMMA!" She cries out, as she continues to ride out the orgasm.
Emma on her part, continues to softly lick and suck along the soaked folds, helping to draw out Regina's spasms, till finally the brunette collapses back. Emma then slowly kisses her way back up the sweat coated body of her love. Face to face again, Emma brushes the soaked dark hairs out of Regina's face, "Damn...you are sooo sexy when you come." She then kisses Regina, then just holds her till she comes down from her orgasmic high.
Regina finally croaks, "That...I have ...never felt...like that...before..." She turns her head towards Emma's. "I love you Emma Swan."
"I love you Regina Mills."
After a few minutes, Regina felt a hand moving down her abdomen, as Emma nuzzles into her neck.
"Emmmma...what are you doing."
"Hmmm...I am not finished with you yet." Emma's hand continues down it's path.
"But I want my turn now.." Regina pouts, though her body betrays her as it warms up to the soft touches.
"We have plenty of time, right now...I need to be inside you..." Emma takes an ear lobe, gently sucking on it, as her hand glides over the soft curls, then through the slick folds. Regina turns her head so Emma can get more access to her neck, as she once more finds that spot that makes Regina squeak.
Chuckling, Emma mumbles against the spot, "I love that sound you make when I suck on that particular spot."
"Shut up, and keep doing what your doing Miss Swan."
Laughing, Emma smirks "Yes Reggggiee.." as she plunges two fingers into Regina.
Regina's eye go wide as she screams, "Fuck! Emmmmma!" as she feels the fingers invading her, thrusting in and out. "Emma...yes...faster."
Emma is so aroused, not only by Regina's swearing shout, but she has moved her leg over Regina's thigh, as she re-positioned her body , to concentrate on pleasuring Regina with her hand. As Regina moves her thigh up, it connects with Emma's center. She groans, "fuck...that feels so good..." the blonde starts to grind her aching pussy on the thigh, coating it with copious mounts of liquid. She finally moves up again, still with her fingers pistoning, slowly, while she gyrates her hips, rubbing herself harder on Regina's thigh. Both women are breathing in short, heavy breaths, sweat dappling their bodies. All Regina can do is moan, and thrash, grabbing at any part of Emma she can reach.
"Emma...I..."
"Hold on..just a little bit more...I want us...together..." Emma pants, as she thrusts her pelvis, Regina's leg is covered in Emma's juices, as the blonde continues to slam her fingers into Regina. Then with one final thrust, with both her hips and fingers, both women come, their combined orgasm's exploding, so intense, there seem to be a brief flash of purplish white then, Emma screams "Reggieee!" as she drops her face into the mess of dark hair, while Regina pushes her body up, grasping at Emma's back, yelling, "Emmmma!" All the they can do is ride out the most intense, spine tingling sensations, as both finally collapse in a heap, both gasping for much needed air.
"Reg...what..wow...that was...did we...do.." Emma is having a hard time making her brain work.
Regina swallows, licking her lips, "I..not sure...but what ever it was..that was..."
"Yeah...it was...beautiful...you are beautiful." Lifting her head, Emma gazes as Regina, softly touching her face. She lowers her head, lips meeting lips, in a tender, loving kiss. Then she turns on her side, next to Regina, pulling the covers up over both of them. Emma gathers Regina in her arms,"Love you...sleep..we need sleep..."
"Love you too..." Regina snuggles into Emma neck as they both drift off into a much need sleep.
The next morning, Emma slowly wakes up, then feels the body next to her, well actually semi-sprawled on top of her. She smiles, and wraps her arms around this incredible, gorgeous creature that is hers. 'Mine..all mine'. Unfortunately, her bladder made it's self known. "Crap..Regina," Emma says quietly. Regina's response was a groan and then burying herself even more into the warm body she was snuggling. "Regina..c'mon, I need to pee...really badly.." Emma finally extracated herself from the clinging ex-mayor. Laughing, as she pulled her buzzing phone from her discarded jeans, she declares, "Who knew the former evil queen was a snuggler."
Once in the bath room, she decided a much needed shower was in order. She had read a text from Henry, saying that his mothers were having lunch with the family at Granny's and he was going to pick them up around noon. She checked the time, which was 11:12am, so she knew they had plenty of time. As she steps under the hot water, realizing how much she had missed hot running water, she recalls their night of passionate love making. "Damn, how did I get so lucky."
"Yes in deed."
Emma whipped her head around as the low, sultry voice. "Oh..uh...hi," she gulps as she watches a very naked Regina join her.
"Hello dear, mind if I join you?" Regina places chaste kiss on Emma's lips.
"Hmm..sure...we can conserve water this way." Smirks Emma.
"Helping the environment is the furthest thing from my mind right now, Emma." Regina pulls Emma into a passionate kiss, as she backs Emma up against the shower wall, giving the blonde her best, devious grin, "Now...it's...my...turn."
"Damn..." Grinning, Emma slams her head against the wall as Regina slowly descends.. "how did I get so lucky."
An hour later, Regina comes down the stairs, adjusting her sleeve. "Emma, hurry up, we are running late and Henry will be here any minute." She has on a casual pair of dark blue slacks, with a lighter blue, button down shirt.
Emma is in the process of pulling her shirt over her head. "Thanks for the clean clothes..I really need to learn how to do that. As for being late, that is not my fault." Emma grins.
"Well it certainly isn't mine." Smirks Regina, "I am not the one that wanted pretend I was a convict needing a full body search in the shower." Emma had caught up with Regina, who had stopped, turned the blonde towards her, to help her adjust the collar.
"Didn't hear you complaining...if I recall, you kept telling me...to...Mmmft.." Emma widened as Regina put her palm up to cover her mouth. Then Regina turned Emma to show her why she shut her up. Standing at the front door, with arms crossed, grinning, was their son.
"Hey Henry...uh...how's it going." Emma scratches her head, trying not to show her heated face.
"Hi Ma, Mom...so are you two ready to go?" Henry moves up to hug both his mothers.
"Yes, we are ready to head out. Lead the way young man." Placing her hand on his shoulders, pushes him ahead of her and Emma. As they exit the mansion, Henry grabs both his mom's hands, as they walk out onto Mifflin Street. Soon though Henry's youthful energy has him bounding ahead, as the two women walk arm in arm. Passing familiar places, waving at friends along the street, heading to a future full of love, family and a home for their hearts.
Feels so good to be taking it easy
Why would I ever leave?
'Cause I know
I got some good friends that live down the street
Got a good looking woman with her arms 'round me
Here in a small town where it feels like home
I got everything I need and nothing that I don't
Homegrown, Homegrown
