A/N Ready? Haha! Thanks again for the reviews and for following! Xxx

Regina walked back into the living room clearly shaken from her conversation with her son. Emma saw how sad her girlfriend was and moved to comfort her.

"What happened babe? Wanna talk?"

"I.. I don't think I can just yet Emma. Just hold me please." Regina answered almost in tears. Emma did as she was told and gently rubbed circles into her lover's back. They both had had an awful day and neither wanted to talk about it. The words were just too difficult and too real to voice out loud. Regina began kissing Emma desperately, trying to forget the conversation she just had and appreciate her time with Emma. If Henry did decide to leave her, she was grateful for the love she had found with this marvellous woman and she wouldn't be letting go of her any time soon.

Emma spoke softly into her lover's neck. "How about I take your mind off whatever it is? Mind if I sleep over tonight?" Regina's eyes narrowed seductively and she stood up, leading Emma by the hand into her bedroom. Once the door was closed she shoved Emma against the wall, pressing her whole body into her and stated with desire dripping from her voice, "oh you most certainly will be staying over tonight but I highly doubt you will be getting much sleep."

Emma groaned. This woman! Dang! She could make her forget about almost anything with one look. She ripped the shirt off Regina exposing her naked flesh and trailed kisses down between the valley of her ample breasts. Regina moaned and grabbed a handful of the blonde's hair, pushing her farther down to where she needed the most attention. Emma obliged greedily taking more of her lovers skin into her mouth. She loved it when Regina took control and showed her what she wanted. Emma grabbed Regina's hips and pressed her lover closer into her face, inhaling the luscious scent which drove her over the edge. As Regina came, her knees buckled. She couldn't support herself against the wall any longer and crashed onto the floor almost crushing a startled Emma. The pair chuckled as a picture fell off the wall and bounced off Regina's head. "Emma Swan, you will be the death of me!" She giggled and crawled over the woman sprawled on the floor, yanking her jeans off in one swift move.

"My turn, before you kill me completely." She drawled seductively.

It was three a.m. when the pair finally allowed exhaustion to take over. They had made love in every single nook and cranny of Regina's bedroom and ensuite and were now lain peacefully on her bed, satiated and unable to lift their limbs.

"I knew you were high maintenance Gina but jees, I'm an athlete and I can barely keep up with you!" Emma joked.

"I am not high maintenance! I simply just can't get enough of you! Before I met you, I was never really into it. You make me wanna be bad!" She teased.

"Oh God, Gina! Don't say stuff like that, you know how much it turns me on and I really don't think I can go again!" Emma whined.

"Shh, shh. Rest Dear. As much as I've love to go again, we need to get some sleep if we are going to be able to function at all tomorrow." And within a few moments, the pair were curled up in each others arms fast asleep.

...

Emma went back up to her apartment at 7:45 before Henry woke up and found her mother was already awake and making bacon.
"Emma? I thought you were still asleep. Where were you so early in the morning?" Mary Margaret enquired.

"I was at my girlfriend's place. All night! I'm starving, is that bacon?" She quipped and grabbed a rasher before her mother could say anything and added. "Need protein to keep my strength up!"

Mary Margaret shook her head vigorously. Her daughter was deliberately trying to rile her and she was trying desperately not to blow up. She prepared two plates and set them on the table. She needed to talk to Emma about something and the bacon was a buffer to soften the news she was sure her daughter wouldn't be too pleased about. She waited for Emma to eat a few rashers and a forkful of eggs and began.

"I sent him a photo of myself last night." She blurted out.

Emma dropped her fork and swallowed the contents of her mouth.

"Mother! Why would you do that? I told you I would wait for him to check with his Mom if it was ok to be in touch before we did anything else. You completely did the opposite of what we agreed on!" Emma was furious again with her mom.

"Well I didn't think it would hurt. The lad was curious and well, he isn't likely to be seeing me anytime soon if you have anything to do with it." Mary Margaret was prepared for Emma's reaction.

Emma thought about it and really, no harm had been done so she let it slide. She went for a shower, more so to get a bit of space between her and her mom. How long was she planning on staying, Emma mused as the water calmed her body. She'd only been here 24 hours and was aleady driving Emma insane. She needed to get her out of the apartment at least for a couple of hours. She decided to take her to a local art gallery thinking it would be the perfect place to shut her up for more than a few minutes and give Emma the thinking time that she desperately needed.

Emma turned off the shower, dried herself and went into her room to dress. Yep. The art gallery didn't take kindly to loud mouthes and if her mother did decide to go off on a tangent, she was sure security would put her in her place.

"Mom, you ready?" She called putting her red leather jacket on.

"Ready for what, darling?"

"Well, now you're here, the least I can do is show you a bit of Boston." Emma replied with a half smile.

"Ooh, how exciting! It's been years since we've been out together! You are wonderful Emma! I have really missed spending time with you." Mary Margaret beamed and with that, the pair left the apartment.

...

"Henry Daniel Mills! I am not going to tell you again, get your ass moving now! It's nine-fifteen. Do you want another detention?" Regina bawled. He really was getting worse and worse at getting up in the morning and refused to leave the house without eating a proper breakfast. Regina had been ready for almost an hour and was exhausted. She wanted to get Henry to school already so she could climb back into bed and have another couple of hours sleep. Finally, he plodded out of the kitchen with as much enthusiasm as a teenage boy could muster and they left the apartment.

The elevator opened and Regina held the door open for her son to go in. She caught the eye of the person who was standing inside about to apologise for holding them up when she saw it was her lover. She smiled and said, "Good morning Ms. Swan" noticing there was another woman she didn't recognise with her. Henry looked up wondering why his Mom was calling her girlfriend by her surname and was about to make a snide remark when he saw the woman next to her.

"Grandma!" He exclaimed. "Wh-what are you doing here?"
