"Okay, okay so…favourite movie?" Upon the initial awkwardness of Regina's arrival, the pair had taken a seat in one of the booths. The diner was now closed off to the public but Granny had kindly allowed Emma to stay behind on the promise that she lock up promptly and stay over in the back room to open up the next morning. Emma hadn't hesitated upon answering. Ruby had left as she had an early shift at the hospital the next morning although the blonde suspected it was just an excuse to give the two some much needed time alone.

Emma's stomach hadn't stopped flipping since she'd watched Regina walk through the diner door, their eyes had met and locked on for dear life. Both felt they'd melt into oblivion if either should look away. Ruby had, of course, suggested drinks to loosen the pair up and when they were nicely inebriated she made her cunning escape. That is how the two found themselves laughing in unison as they got to know one another from inside the booth. Emma had one hand in her lap whilst the other drew lazy circles in the spilt sugar on the table top, Regina used one elbow rested on the surface to prop her head up with her hand tangled in dark hair whilst her other hand rested palm down on the table. She screwed up her nose as she thought and Emma thought it was quite possibly the most adorable thing she had ever seen on any person's face, she wanted to see it more.

"Well…" Regina's words were slightly slurred but she still remained composed, "that all depends."

Emma's brow furrowed as she processed the words, "on what exactly?"

Regina pulled a hand from her hair as she subconsciously made explanatory gestures with both hands, "on the fact that I enjoy a wide variety of movies…like, rom coms, dramas, weepy movies…"

Emma laughed at the last genre label, "weepy movies?"

Regina's face scrunched once more in mock embarrassment before replying, "You know, the ones you can't help crying to…"

"I never cry at movies," Emma stated somewhat proudly as if it made her all the more strong.

Regina scoffed, "well then, you must be watching the wrong things!"

Emma leaned forward with her arms folded on the table top now, "and what is it I should be watching Doctor Mills?"

Regina didn't miss the drawl in her title and couldn't help the small shiver, normally she could hide her feelings rather well but three shots of tequila and two glasses of wine didn't help much, "well, if you don't mind waiting I could bring something that I can guarantee will have you sobbing into your pillow tonight…"

The blonde mocked deep thought until Regina gave her a playful tap on the arm with a laugh; she locked onto brown twinkling eyes and couldn't help her wide smile. She hadn't felt this happy in a long time, "if you say so, but I promise I will not cry."

"Sam?"

"Molly?"

Regina heard the sniffle from beside her but forced herself not to look at the blonde, it would only make her self-conscious and ruin the ending, she smiled slightly to herself though as she felt the blonde hair tickle her cheek as a head came to rest on her shoulder. Slowly she let her own head come down to rest on Emma's as she continued watching.

"I can hear you…"

As the instrumental version of Unchained Melody began to play Regina swore she felt the blonde tremble slightly.

"Oh God…"

She felt warm tears trickling down the bare skin of her arm but still did not comment, she merely placed an open hand on the bed in invitation and couldn't help the smile that took over her face or the warmth coursing through her body when Emma intertwined their fingers.

"Sam…they're waiting for you Sam…"

"I'll miss you, your mother would be proud."

This time she knew the blonde was shaking as she supressed her sobs, in response she tightened her grip on their hands and played with the blonde curls tickling her arm with her free hand.

"I'm gonna miss you too Sam, you're alright."

"Bye Oda Mae."

"Bye Sam."

When Patrick Swayze moved once again to look at Demi Moore, she felt the deep exhalation on the legs that rested over Emma's, upon arriving back at Granny's with the film Ghost, Emma had led her to the back room which was beautifully furnished much like Granny's B&B. They had settled with their backs on the headboard sitting side by side and at some point in the movie the blonde had taken hold of Regina's legs and pulled them across her own. Regina had to fight hard to stop the quivers whenever the blonde began drawing lazy patterns over the smooth bare skin.

"I love you Molly, I've always loved you."

"Ditto."

This time Emma let out a small soft cry, the tag line of the movie had pushed her over the edge this time and before she could think of what she was doing Regina had placed a soft kiss to the blonde's head in comfort. It felt right to do so though so she didn't dwell.

"It's amazing Molly, the love inside…you take it with you….see ya."

"…see ya…bye."

As the credits began rolling Emma sat up straight once more and furiously wiped at her eyes as if removing the tears tracks would erase the fact that she had cried, "you okay their tough guy?"

Regina laughed at the glare she received and reached up to tuck a blonde strand behind Emma's ear, she softened at this but still wiped self-consciously at her cheeks.

"And here I thought you didn't cry?"

"I wasn't…I had something in my eye…" she laughed along as she heard the brunette's loud laughter; it was quite possibly the best sound she had ever heard.

The brunette's head fell back as she continued to laugh, she hadn't done so in such a long time and it felt amazing. The scowl from the blonde beside her only egged her on even more, when she finally calmed she took the woman sat beside her in. Twinkling green eyes were slightly red from her cries meaning they shone even brighter, they were spectacular. Regina could see the mischievous smile forming on thin lips before they softened as she noticed how the brunette was studying her. She leaned into the palm that came up to cup her cheek and sighed contentedly, everything with this woman felt so right, so perfect.

A frown formed on Regina's face, it didn't go unnoticed by the blonde.

"What's wrong?"

Regina worried her bottom lip as she gazed into green eyes without really seeing, "I'm scared." She breathed out as tears threatened to spill from deep brown eyes. They intensified when Emma's small hand rose to cover her own on the blonde's cheek, her frown deepened when she felt Emma removing it only to be placed on the blonde's chest.

"I'm not going anywhere," she stated simply. Regina didn't need to voice her worries for Emma was feeling the same thing. She was scared of finding something so amazing only to have it taken away from her a few months down the line. The women had danced around their feelings for so long during Emma's illness and were now finally able to do something about it, it was up to fate to allow them to do so.

Neither was sure who had moved but it seemed they were now only inches apart as their foreheads came to rest upon one another's. "Emma…I've never felt this way before…about anybody."

Emma for her part shook her head against Regina's as her eyes fell closed, fire raged through her body as she clung onto the small hands in her hair. Their breathing was unified now as they tensed with the affection they were feeling now. Both were kneeling but stayed low on the double bed as Regina's arms snaked around Emma's neck causing the blonde to rise up with her in order to bring their bodies completely together. The brunette was trembling, not with desire but a feeling she couldn't place yet as Emma's hands gripped onto the fabric of her tank top.

"I can't lose you…" she practically sobbed into the blonde's ear.

Emma let her tears fall freely also, they fell onto Regina's bare shoulder as they stayed locked on to one another.

"Then don't let go."
