Repost as I am not sure what happened the last time as when it uploaded in my document manager there were no issues with the words. Sorry about that :)

Shoelaces untied
You can dry your eyes
Perfect shadows align
Behind us
This is the day I make you mine

EMMA'S POV

I can't believe the change in events over the last few days, right now I should be married and on my honeymoon, but instead I am preparing for a date with the love of my life and I couldn't be happier. I know I shouldn't be this happy knowing that I broke Killian's heart, but for the first time in months my heart feels complete, I feel butterflies in my stomach just thinking about Regina, and my heart races a mile a minute when I see her. I am going through my closet trying to find something to wear for tonight but the thing is Regina hasn't said where we are going, I can only assume that we would be going to the only fancy restaurant in town. I sigh not finding anything that I think will be perfect, I want tonight to be perfect it will be our first official date and I want to look my best for her.

Henry: Mom what are you doing?

Emma: Trying to find something to wear and I can't find anything

I see my son smirk as he looks at the clothes thrown all over the bed and the few dresses I have hanging in my closet.

Henry: You realize that mom isn't going to care what you wear right?

Emma: I care Henry, I want to look perfect

With that I hear the door open and we both walk out into the living room to see my mother standing by the front door, with a clothing bag and shoes in her hand.

Emma: What is that?

Snow: Regina sent this for you

Emma: Regina sent me something to wear?

Snow: Of course she did, she knew you would probably be stressing out on what to wear and by the looks of it she was right. So here you go.

I grab the clothing bag from her and unzip it to find the most beautiful red knee length flowing cocktail dress I have ever seen. The top had a sweetheart neckline with black trim and a black belt that tied to the side and flowed down a few inches above where the dress ended. I gasp seeing the note attached to it.

Emma my love,

I wanted to make sure that you had something perfect to wear for our date, I want you to not worry about a thing. I saw this dress and thought of you, Red is my favourite colour and this dress will look amazing on you. I can't wait to see you in it and then see it on the floor once I take it off of you. See you in a couple hours.

Yours Forever,

Gina

The way your hair lies
Sometimes unrecognized
All the way from these today
On a train
Nothing to say if there's still time

That was the first time she ever referred to herself as Gina, my Gina. I am the only one allowed to call her that and I am surprised considering anyone else who has ever tried to call her that nearly had their head bit off.

Henry: Wow my mom sure knows how to pick a dress.

Snow: She sure does. Now hurry up Emma go try it on

I smile and head to my room, slipping the dress on and calling my mom to help me zip it up. I stand in the mirror and I gasp at how the dress fits me perfect and how amazing I feel in it.

Snow: Oh Emma you look beautiful

Emma: This dress is wow

Snow: It's not just the dress you know. The person wearing the dress is pretty spectacular.

Emma: Thanks

Snow: I mean it Emma your beautiful and a pretty amazing person, and Regina is a very lucky woman.

Henry: Wow mom you look incredible

Emma: Thanks Henry

Snow: So how do you want to do your hair?

Emma: Down and let my curls show, Regina loves my hair down and when I let my curls show

Snow: Sounds perfect…lets go we only have a couple hours

Emma: You're staying?

Snow: Of course Emma, I missed out on so much of your life, but this is not one of those moments I want to miss. Yes I know I saw you go on your first date with Killian, but tonight is different, tonight your going on a date with your true love.

Emma: You're really okay with all of this aren't you?

Snow: Of course I am once I got over the fact that my daughter is dating my ex step mother who cursed us all and sent us here, and was one of the reasons I missed out on everything in your life. But none of that matters now all that matters is that your happy and that you get your happy ending.

Emma: Okay well let me go jump in the shower and then I will get your help with my hair and make-up.

Henry: Oh god the girly stuff. I will be upstairs make sure to let me know when you are ready.

REGINA'S POV

After my talk with Gold and working out a deal for my favour which surprisingly went really well thanks to Belle's help. Belle being a good friend of Emma's helped in my favour as everyone in this town loves Emma and they want her to be happy. I leave his shop and call Snow and informed her that I got what I needed, her and Charming were off to get preparations done. I stop by the store needing to find the perfect outfit for tonight for both of us, I don't want Emma worrying about what to wear tonight. When I see the perfect red dress I knew it was the right dress for Emma. I wandered around and found a perfect dress for myself and one I knew that Emma would love. It was a tight black knee length dress that had a deep v neck, showing just enough cleavage, enough that would ensure Emma's eyes would be wandering. I leave the store and head to Snow's house, how ironic is this I am going to my ex step daughters to get her help to date her daughter, it really is funny how things turned out.

Snow: Regina so everything is ready for tonight

Regina: Perfect could you please take this to Emma? I have a few things I want to make sure are perfect for tonight.

Snow: Regina I really think that tonight is going to be perfect.

Regina: I'm sure it will, but I am not done yet. Snow I screwed up and Emma got hurt and even though she came back to me, she is still unsure and I need to show her how much she means to me.

Snow: Everything will be fine Regina, she loves you.

I smile at her and say my goodbyes before I head off to finish up the last few things I need to do before going home to get ready.

EMMA'S POV

I am finally ready and I stand in the mirror looking at myself. I feel nervous and yet excited for tonight, I have been on dates before but not a date that means as much to me as this one.

Snow: Oh Emma you look amazing

Emma: I can't believe she did this. What else does she have planned?

Snow: Oh Regina has a lot planned and I can honestly say that I have never seen her go to the lengths she has for this date before. She really does love you Emma.

Emma: She does, doesn't she?

Snow: What's wrong Emma?

Emma: Nothings wrong, I just can't believe that this is happening. I wanted this for so long and it's finally here. I still can't help but feel bad for Killian, and although last night was great with Regina and I'm sure tonight will be just as great if not better, but we still have so much to talk about.

Snow: Of course you guys do honey, you two love each other and that is all that matters, the rest of the stuff will work itself out. Allow yourself tonight let Regina show you what you mean to her.

Emma: You're right

Henry: Mom Mom MOM she's here she's HERE….Mom hi wow you look amazing

Regina: Thank you Henry

I hear Henry and Regina and my heart starts racing this is it. I smile at my mom how squeezes my hand.

Snow: Go enjoy your night.

I walk out of the room with my mom and my eyes instantly lock on Regina, her dress is stunning, it fits her like a glove showing off every curve and just enough cleavage to not leave much to the imagination . My breathe is caught and jaw drops as soon as my eyes lock with hers, she is beautiful.

But you are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today

Regina: Wow Emma you look…. stunning

Emma: Ah…Gina…you…you look amazing

I feel my mother nudge me as I realize that I haven't moved from my spot. My cheeks turn red at this realization as I walk towards her, as soon as I reach her I feel her one arm wrap around my waist pulling me close, her other hand cup my cheek as she presses her forehead to mine.

Regina: God I love you

Emma: I love….

Before I can finish telling her I love her, I feel her lips gently touch mine kissing me softly, my arms wrap tighter around her pulling her closer, deepening the kiss. In this moment nothing else exists it is just her and I, everything is Regina, her lips are soft, her arms strongly wrapped around me, her hair feels like silk in my hands, her body temperature is warm, her smell intoxicating. I feel like the room is spinning around me as I melt even further into the kiss, never wanting it to end. That is until we hear my mother clearing her throat.

Lately I've lost my tongue
Today you found the sun
I know not long has grown
Well I thank God you came along

Snow: Uhm guys I think you may have forgotten you have an audience.

I pull back from Regina her cheeks are flushed, her eyes filled with desire. I knew tonight was going to be a long night, if my mother and our son weren't here right now I would be ripping that dress and taking her right here. I feel her pull back and instantly feel the loss of her body next to mine, when I feel her take my hand in hers.

Regina: Right uhm….Shall we go?

Emma: Yes….Bye mom, night Henry you be good for your grandparents please

Henry: Bye moms

Regina: Night Henry

Snow: Enjoy your night. Don't worry about Henry.

REGINA'S POV

Seeing Emma in the dress I picked out for her took my breath away, she looked stunning. Looking at her in that moment my heart swelled and I couldn't believe that I almost lost her.

Emma: You okay Gina?

Regina: Yes better then okay

We arrive outside to the limo parked out front and I hear the gasp come from Emma and can't help but laugh as we climb in and the door shuts.

Emma: A limo?

Regina: Tonight I want to focus on you and nothing else, so having a chauffer makes that possible.

I pull her close capturing her lips with mine, kissing her passionately, pouring myself into that kiss. I pull her closer and before I know it she is straddling me.

Emma: The nice thing about limos is no one can see us.

This time its Emma crashing her lips to mine, claiming them as hers, I feel her tongue plunge into my mouth and our tongues circling together. Her hands roaming down my dress, cupping my breasts in her hands she begins to massage them while pulling her lips away from mine. I moan in protest at the loss of her lips on mine.

Emma: I love love love this dress

Regina: I knew you would

Her lips trail kisses along my jaw line and down my neck, one hand sneaks into my dress and her fingers pinch at my nipple, causing me to tremble beneath her. She continues to kiss up and down my neck lightly sucking and biting, not enough to leave marks but enough to cause me to lose all sense of reality. We continue our heavy make out session and it isn't until we hear a knock on the door do we realize that we have stopped and the driver was waiting to open the door. Regrettably we pull apart from each other and her forehead rests against mine.

But you are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today

Emma: I guess we will have to finish this later

She smirks knowing she has riled me all up and all I want to do is take her right her, right now. Before I realize she is standing outside the limo holding her hand out for me. I see how tonight is going to go and I am loving it already.

Emma: You coming Gina

Regina: Of course

I take her hand and climb out of the limo and guide her into the restaurant.

Regina: Now I know that this isn't a total surprise since we live in a town with only one nice restaurant. I was going to have just a quiet dinner for the two of us, but that wouldn't be a real date.

Emma: Gina tonight has already been perfect so far and I know it will continue. It doesn't matter where our date is as long as I am with you.

Once in the restaurant, we are led through to a table in the corner, offering some privacy. I looked around and saw the stares and could hear faint whispers, but tonight I didn't care, seeing the smile spread across Emma's face was the only thing I needed. The table was perfectly set, and a dozen red and white roses were sitting in the centre, exactly what I was wanting, wine already in the bucket chilling.

Regina: I hope you don't mind but I had a special menu set up or us tonight.

Emma: Of course you did.

Regina: What? Is that amusing to you?

Emma: Oh god no Gina. I just know that when you plan something you make sure every detail is taken care of.

Regina: I guess I do, do that don't I?

Emma: Of course you do and that is one of the things I love most about you.

After we eat and enjoy some more wine, and waiting on dessert. I am surprised at how much attention to detail that Regina put into this date on such short notice. She hadn't forgotten a thing and really made me feel like I was worth something, for the first time in my life I felt that I was worthy of special treatment, of being spoiled, and feeling loved. I smile at her while placing my hand on top of hers. I wanted to tell her how she has made me feel but before I can she is pulling me up.

Emma: Gina what are you…

Regina: Dance with me?

Emma: Gina you want to dance? With me? Here where everyone is watching?

Regina: I want to dance with you, I don't care where we are or who is watching. I want to dance with my girlfriend.

EMMA'S POV

I take her hand and follow her to the dance floor, she looks at me and smiles and pulls me close wrapping her arms around my waist, I wrap my arms around her neck resting my forehead against hers. The music instantly changes to Joshua Radin's Today and I instantly feel my heart swell and can't help the smile form on my face.

You looked right through me
When there was no one else
I sat beside beside you and became myself
Today... today

Regina: Listen to this song

I hear Regina tell me, as we say gently along to the song, her body pressed tightly against mine, listening to the lyrics I can't help but feel overwhelmed with love for this woman, I never thought it was possible to love her more. I didn't even notice that I had started crying, until I felt her lips on my cheek,

Regina: Please don't cry, I didn't want you to cry

Emma: I…I am just so…I love you Gina

I lean forward kissing her lips, gliding my tongue along her lips, wanting and needing to intensify the kiss. Finally our tongues connected and danced together while the song continued to play. In this moment nothing else mattered, nothing else existed; it was like I was lost in a world that was Regina and all my senses were on overload feeling everything coming from her, feeling my magic coming alive again in me. Our magic is binding us even closer together than before. I don't even know how long it's been but I know the song is long over and I don't hear any other music anymore, when I finally pull back gasping for air.

Regina: I love you too Emma

Emma: How about we skip dessert and get out of here? I don't think I can take this anymore. I need you Gina.

She laughs while taking my hand leading me back to the table to grab our things before heading back to the limo.

Regina: We aren't quite done yet. Still have a couple more surprises for you.

Emma: Gina this has been great, really I don't need anything else. All I need is you at home naked and in bed.

Regina: Oh don't worry dear we will end up naked in bed soon enough.

She presses her lips to mine once more before dragging me into the limo.

You are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today

Song: Today by Joshua Radin
