Thanks for the reviews :) They are greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long wait for this update, been really busy. I plan to post another one hopefully tonight or tomorrow. Enjoy :)
It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear
You almost feel ashamed
That someone could be that important
That without them, you feel like nothing
No one will ever understand how much it hurts
You feel hopeless; like nothing can save you
And when it's over, and it's gone
You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back
So that you could have the good
REGINA'S POV
I wake up and smile as I feel my lover still wrapped in my arms, last night was perfect, but this morning was even better, waking up with her in my arms can't get any better than that. I feel her lips moving feathering soft kisses along my neck. Okay maybe it can get better, morning sex definitely much better. Finally she lifts her head and captures my lips with hers, tongues dancing together, hands exploring one another. After another exhausting round of love making we lay wrapped up together.
Regina: I love you
Emma: I love you too babe
Regina: How about we get up and go pick up our son and go for breakfast?
Emma: That sounds great. I just need to go have a shower first.
Regina: Okay you do that and I will phone your parents and let them know the plans.

Now we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
I lean over and capture her lips in mine and watch her saunter off into the bathroom. I quickly grab my phone I am going to need Snow and Charming to watch Henry again tonight, I want to take Emma out on a date, but I am going to need some help, I need everything to be perfect. I walk toward the bathroom making sure that the shower is running before I start talking to Snow, and head downstairs to start getting coffee ready.
Regina: Snow it's Regina
Snow: Regina how are you? You sound happy?
Regina: That's because I am. I am phoning for a couple things but have to be quick so Emma doesn't hear me.
Snow: Emma is with you? She came to you.
I could almost feel the smile coming through the phone off Snow's face and I can't help but smile.
Regina: Yes she came here last night.
Snow: Good now Regina I don't think I need to warn you, but I am going to anyways. Don't hurt my baby girl again, she deserves to be happy and she choose you.
Regina: I know and I don't want to hurt her again. Which is why I am phoning you. I need some help.
I go on and fill her in on the plans of picking up Henry and going for breakfast. I also fill her in on my plans for the perfect date and what I need her help with.
Snow: Regina I never would have thought you would be this romantic
Regina: Yes well not all of us are Prince Charming and Snow White now are we? So can I count on your help or not?
Snow: Yes you can
Regina: I got to go Emma is getting out of the shower.
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
As quickly as I heard the shower turn off upstairs I hang up, coffee is almost done brewing. I hear banging on the door.
Regina: For crying out loud what now. I just want a quiet morning with my girlfriend.
I open the door and standing before me is a drunken angry pirate.
Regina: For crying out loud what the hell do you want?
Hook: You ruined my life….you ruined Emma's life
Regina: I didn't ruin your life and I sure in the hell didn't ruin Emma's
Hook: You TOOK HER FROM ME AND NOW YOUR GOING TO PAY
Regina: Am I? and how do you figure I am going to pay?
Hook: YOU RUINED OUR LIVES. I SHOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW
Emma: KILLIAN ENOUGH
Hook: Emma? Seriously were not even broken up 24hrs and you already jumped back into bed with her. The evil queen. After everything she did, how she broke your heart and you jump right back in.
Emma: Killian I think it's time for you to leave
Regina: I have to agree we have things to do today.
Hook: NO THIS IS NOT RIGHT. Emma is coming with me. Emma lets go NOW
Regina: Emma is going nowhere with you
Hook: Who the hell do you think you are?
Emma: Enough Regina is the woman I love. I am sorry that your hurting Killian, but I love Regina.
Hook: I love you Emma, I love you, she…she is incapable of loving you
Regina: HOW DARE YOU….I LOVE EMMA, I love her more than anything, and I will do anything for her and the only reason I haven't ripped your heart and crushed it right now is because of her. So I suggest you get off my property before I remove you myself. Now leave.

I turn and slam the door in his face and turn back to see Emma, her face was pained. I know she hates it when she is the root of someone's pain, I turn and take her into my arms holding her tight. Knowing that this wasn't really Emma's doing at all, but my own.
Emma: I wish you didn't have to be so harsh with him. He was good to me, to Henry.
Regina: I know. I am sorry Em I really am my anger got the best of me. When he accused me of not loving you. I Love you so much it hurts and when someone questions my love for you it makes me angry. I'm sorry I did this to you, to us.
Emma: I know Gina I know. I love you and I made the choice to go back to him.
I pull back wiping the tears from her face and place a soft, tender kiss on her lips. I really screwed up and I know I have so much to do to make it up to her, to show her just how much I love her.
Regina: How about we go finish getting ready and go pick up our son
Emma: Yes
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
EMMA'S POV
A half hour later we are pulling up to my parents house, and as soon as we are parked Henry comes running out to us with the biggest smile on his face.
Henry: Mom, Mom you're here together
Emma: We are
Henry: So you did it?
Emma: I did Henry and this time, we are going to do our best not to screw it up this time.
Regina: I promise you Henry and Emma that I am going to do everything in my power to make sure I don't screw this up again. I have too much to lose and I don't want to lose either one of you. You both deserve a family and together we can be a family.
Emma: Gina you deserve a family as well you know
Henry: Exactly mom
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
I wrap my arms around Regina and Henry and can't help but smile knowing the two people that mean the most to me are safe and in my arms. A family…I really like the sound of that, we could really be a family. I look over and see my parents standing at the door smiling at us.
Regina: So Henry how about some breakfast at granny's…or well maybe I should say brunch
Henry: Awesome let me grab my stuff.
Snow: Regina, Emma you both look happy
Emma: Thanks we are. We have a lot to sort through and work out but we love each other and that's all that matters.
Charming: Good because I can honestly say it is nice to see my daughter smiling again.
Regina: It is very nice to see her smiling again
Emma: So we were going to head to granny's for breakfast did you guys and my little brother want to join us?
Snow: Uhm….no actually we can't I have a few things that I would like to take care of today.
Emma: Oh alright. Well then I guess we will see you later then.
I feel my mom wrap her arms around me and I can't help but relax into the hug.
Snow: I am so happy for you Emma
Before I can respond Henry comes barreling out of the house yelling something about food.
Emma: Well it appears our son is eager to get going. Bye mom, Bye Dad
Snow & Charming: Bye guys
Regina: Bye

REGINA'S POV
We pull up to Granny's and all pile out of the car. I smile at Henry and Emma chattering away, god I have missed them. Since the curse broke Henry has insisted on staying with Emma and as much as it still pains me that he rarely stays at my house, I am happy to see him so happy. We head up the walkway to granny's and Emma's voice played through my head from the previous night, about not wanting to sneak around, wanting to be able to hold my hand, wanting everyone to know that we belong to eachother. I smile when I remember last night and before she gets too far ahead of me I grab her arm to stop her.
Emma: Regina?
I don't say anything but take her hand in mine and press a soft kiss to her lips, when I pull back I see her smiling at me and looking at our hands clasped together.
Emma: Are you sure about this?
I know she is referring to holding hands.
Regina: I want to hold your hand, I want everyone to know that I belong to you and you my swan belong to me.
Henry: Are you guys coming or not?

Now we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine (mine, mine, mine)
We both look up and smile at him, knowing this is it, the moment that took us far too long to get to. The moment when the mayor and the sheriff make it known to everyone that we are a couple, that we are together. I feel her giving my hand a gentle squeeze to remind me that we are in this together, once we walk into granny's all eyes are on us instantly, and then the whispering begins. I didn't realize how much the focus would be on us, I squeeze her hand a little harder and feel her move my face to look at her and instantly I relax looking into her eyes, and I realize in that moment this was the right thing to do, she was smiling brighter then I have seen her in so long. We walk over to a booth and I slide in beside her, wrapping my arm around her waist holding her close, while Henry is across from us. We chatted quietly amongst ourselves while we wait for our food and eat.
Regina: Emma I was wondering if tonight I could take you on a date.
Henry: Like I real date mom?
Regina: Yes like a real date.
Emma: You want to go on a date?
Regina: If memory serves me correctly you want to do this right? And I also want to do this right. Well a date is the first step.
I hear her laugh and so did the rest of the diner as everyone once again had their eyes on us.
Emma: Gina dear we are well past the first step. But I would love to go on a date with you.
Henry: That means I get to stay at grandma and grandpas again. Awesome
Emma: Oh my god Henry I am so sorry the last few days have been so hectic….
Henry: Mom it's okay really, I am just happy to see you happy again. Besides grandpa has been working with my on my sword fighting and I am really starting to get good. Maybe tomorrow you guys can come watch?
Regina: We would love to Henry. Thank you for being so understanding. Emma and I….
Henry: Need tonight I got it
Regina: Well how about you and Emma go head out and spend some time together, I have a few things I need to get sorted out for tonight. Emma wear something comfortable and don't forget an over night bag.
Emma: Pretty presumptuous Madame Mayor you know I don't….

Before she finishes her sentence my lips are pressed against her, my tongue eagerly waiting for access to hers, before I know it her arms are wrapped around my neck pulling me closer deepening the kiss. I could hear the hoots and hollering from the other guests in the diner. It isn't until I hear Henry that I break the kiss.
Henry: Seriously do you have to do that?
Regina: Of course we do
Henry: It is one thing to kiss but that was much more than just a kiss
Emma: Sorry kid what can I say your mom….
Henry: Save it. Let's go mom we have to get you ready for your date tonight.
Emma: Henry we got plenty of time
Regina: I'll pick you up at 6.
Emma: Alright see you babe
I smile as I watch her and Henry walk out of the diner, I walk over and pay Ruby before I head over to Gold's god damn that man infuriates me but I definitely need a favour from him for tonight.
Ruby: Glad to see you came to your senses Madame Mayor, just don't hurt her again.
Regina: I beg your pardon?
Ruby: Emma don't hurt her again.
I smile and nod knowing what she is meaning before heading over to Gold's. When I walk into his shop I am surprised to see him standing there, like he was expecting you.
Gold: Well Regina I've been expecting you.
Regina: I need a favour
Gold: Of course you do. Now let's see what we can do shall we.
I follow him in, almost regretting this but I really need this night to be perfect, even if I have to sell my soul to make it the best date Emma has ever had then it will all be worth it.
