The silence in the room was eerie as they rocked together, with a few gasps and moans escaping their shivering bodies. Eyes enchanted by their lover's eyes; soaking up the love that was freely given. They buried into each other's core; their naked bodies wrapped around each other with the brunette on the blonde's lap.
"Tell me you will come back." Regina breathed out pleadingly, as her hand clasped the blonde's cheek stroking the flushed flesh with a thumb.
Over the last half hour Emma had been subjected to Regina's sporadic desperate pleas. Usually talk during love making would be more arousing for them but her wife's insecurities of the dawning deployment leaked into the bedroom. Emma could not blame her wife. After all it is a war zone she is going to and every war has its casualties. "I'll come back. We'll be together again." She gasped out between heavy breaths as the tanned small body moved up and around her lap.
Regina nodded and teasingly circled her hips, a movement that the blonde enjoyed but also worshiped to. It was times like these Emma found herself wondering why she would leave such a goddess behind to fight ogres when she could be doing this, whatever this type of love making was, with her wife every day. "Jesus Regina, you look… so amazing. Just like that baby… right there."
Regina worked her magic with her fingers deep inside Emma's core as she continued to exploit the circling movement which gave her intense pleasure as her own core reached new heights.
Emma was beginning to lose her mind set; of her view of what her last night should be like with her wife. As much as she enjoyed this she wanted to take control and lessen some of her wife's insecurities by showing the depths of her love to her; a promise to return. Her own needs needed to wait.
Slowing the movements of her wife with a firm hand on the undulating hips, Regina stopped with a frown. Dark eyes glared down to Emma, feeling disappointed that she was stopped whilst working up to something big. "What's wrong?" she whispered with a displeased moan.
Emma assured her wife by stroking her hip before rolling them over so they now lay down with Regina beneath her. "Nothing I just wanted to change it up a bit… I want to see you writhing beneath me; a memory that will keep me company during many nights alone in the Enchanted Forest." She explained further as Regina didn't settle for her excuse earning her Regina's famous raised eyebrow.
"Well let's make sure this memory is one you sure won't forget." She said before continuing her hand movements inside the warm channel forcing a loud moan to escape from her wife. That she smirked at.
Regina's skills in the bedroom were something to be envious of but Emma marvelled at the fact only she was allowed to experience such skills. Emma's own talents were much appreciated however the blonde knew they never matched up to her wife's. However nights learning each other's body's sensitive areas were the same nights when Regina showed her a few tricks that would turn any woman wild. Tricks she had found out from practicing on the brunette.
"Oh fuck, fuck, fuck Emma." Regina shouted when a hand dipped between her legs stimulating her g spot and rubbing the left side of her clit. It was always a sight to hear the well put together Mayor lose herself whilst in the throes of passion swearing into a mantra. However to see the brunette in such ways was earned by trust, something Emma worked hard for by her woman.
Leaning down, Emma sucked and nibbled on her pulse point that pounded against the tanned flesh, "Emma you better come back dammit… For the love of god, keep doing that." Regina screamed out as she turned up the tempo on her own thrusts.
"Shh, shh baby… Ugh… I-will." Emma felt the familiar rush of pleasure approaching its peak throughout her body. Bracing her left arm at the side of her wife's bed ruffled hair. She pressed her lips hard against plump ones earning a surprised groan from the tanned body beneath her before Regina returned with the same vigour.
They parted for some much needed breath whilst they continued their efforts to show their love. "Look at me." Emma whispered as she felt herself nearing the impossible edge. She didn't want it to end but the inevitable would always be there.
Regina opened her eyes on command and looked at Emma above her; heavy hot breathing mixed into the space between them. She could feel her wife fighting against her release, knowing what she was trying to do, by the strained lines at the side of pink lips. Regina whispered her request, "Fall for me. I'll fall for you. Together."
And there it was both souls shattered apart for split seconds before being picked up and put together again. Body's melting into each other; savouring the feeling of skin on skin. Pale and tanned hands were found grasping for something to hold onto, finally reaching the others wanting hands. They were together for now and nothing could tear them apart… Only sunrise…
"Remember what I said Danni. Be good and give Regina a chance." Emma was holding Danni in an embrace whilst Regina pulled Nina away to give mother and daughter a moment.
The family were standing near the wishing well deep inside the forest in Storybrooke. It was still morning so the sun was still low in the sky leaving a gloomy amount of light to shine through the tree branches. No one cared as much as their moods seemed to match the unfortunate weather.
The family had arrived early to allow enough time for goodbyes. The moment weighing on everyone's hearts apart from little Nina who was too young and naïve to know the true extent of what deployment entails.
Danni tried to keep herself together not wanting to look like a baby but as the limited time together with her mother ticked away she felt her eyes water. A hand moved up to push them away however it only being noticed by Emma.
"Hey, you are never too old to cry kid." Danni sighed wondering how her mother knew what she was thinking which received another knowing smile in return. "When are you going to learn Danni – mother intuition – a mother always knows." They both laughed half-heartedly and hugged again, enjoying the lighter mood that had been brought.
Soon Emma asked Danni to keep an eye on Nina who was picking wild flowers before she took Regina's hand and went a distance enough to get some privacy.
"I'm going to miss you." Regina nodded in acknowledgement and looked down in sadness before looking back up to see Emma's watery green eyes. Emma let her hands run up and down Regina's arms taking in the last moments with her wife.
"You know I will miss you." They looked into each other's eyes taking the moment to remember every detail of their lover. The silence crept up on them before Regina broke it with a ramble of nerves. "Don't forget to write letters and I put your medication in your bag and pens… The fountain pens over there are a little temperamental if you are not familiar with them. And I also put some of those boil sweets you like in the front pocket. Rhubarb and custard? Or was it Raspberry and custard. Forget it, those ghastly red and yellow ones that will put holes in… I got the wrong ones didn't I? No they are the right ones…What is so amusing Emma? Miss Swan!"
Emma laughed more as Regina narrowed her eyes into an annoyed stature. Trust Regina who likes to control everything including her emotions, to be the one to fall into nervous blether. "Oh come here babe." She pulled the willing brunette in by her waist and kissed the top of her fore head. "I'm going to miss this. Even your Miss Swan's, which I will point out again that I am no longer because I took your name."
The brunette huffed a little feeling like an insect that has been analysed under a microscope. "Well we both know why you took MY name." Regina smirked challengingly which sought a confused look from the blonde. "Everyone knows I am the one who has the final say in town matters but they also know I hold that power at home as well. But let's not diverge from today." The brunette said to avoid an argument as Emma slightly pushed her back to argue the point, however was stopped by a soft kiss.
Kissing was the familiar way, to end their constant bickering. So it was no surprise to the blonde to see her wife attach her plump red lips to her own pink ones.
Sinking into each other they deepened the kiss, savouring the taste and feel of each other, being extra careful on where they placed their hands as their children were still in eyesight. The kiss slowed down to a few pecks all too fast before they stopped and pulled away.
"I love you." Regina whispered into her ear before letting her go.
Emma pulled her back into another quick hug, "I love you too Regina. I'll be back in two months."
One last lingering kiss fell between the couple before they pulled away and walked back to their children grasping onto each other's hands, knowing they would need to let go of each other soon.
"I'll be back soon. And I promise to bring back presents for everyone, sweetie." Emma clasped Nina's cheek who stood next to her mommy before she gave her a bear hug and a kiss on the forehead. "I'm going to miss you and your little princess stories Nina. Can you do something for me when I'm away kiddo?" She waited for an enthusiastic nod and an excited goofy smile to cross the four year olds face, "Can you give mommy a big hug every bedtime for me?"
Regina smiled down at the pair as her daughter squealed with glee as she felt she had being given a big girl's special mission.
Emma stood herself back up to see hear a stifled sniffle coming from her blonde daughter. She pulled her into a hug and looked over at Regina who moved over to the pair and put an arm around her step daughter's shoulders. "Hey hey. I will be back soon but Regina will be here for you whenever you need someone to talk to."
"Danni your mom is right. I'll be here for you. You are as much my daughter as is Nina so you can come to me if you need to talk or need anything at all, I'll be here." Regina spoke up knowing now wasn't the time to be awkward towards the pre-teen. Danni needed comfort as her mother was about to leave her with a family she barely knows and not only that there was a slight chance of her never getting to see her mother again. However Regina tried to not think of such trauma.
The cries from the girl had still not calmed down and Emma was becoming wary of the time. Looking over to Regina who was standing next to Danni with her an arm around her shoulders and a hand stoking up and down an upper arm, the brunette knew what the blonde was thinking. "It's alright." Regina whispered reassuring her wife.
Emma nodded bringing herself together before she leaned over her daughter who was still in her arms and gave Regina a quick kiss and a whispered 'I love you'. Then suddenly she pulled back altogether from the two. Regina caught onto the crying blonde who became aware of the loss of contact on her front and only had the contact of her step mom who was circling her arms around her arms and waist; holding her.
"MOM! MOM! DON'T LEEEEEAVE ME!" Danni wailed after Emma watching her climb into the well, trying to pull from the embrace of Regina's arms. "DON'T LEEEEAAAAAAAAAVE ME!" Through watery eyes she saw her mother look back and screamed for her with all her might until she lost all energy, "MOM, MOM! MOMMY, COME BACK! COME BACK PLEASE! PLEASE MOMMY, COME BACK! DON'T LEAVE ME! COME back. Please…Mommy…come-back…Please…"
Emma was gone.
