Hey everyone, I wanted to give more fluff so here it is :D
The next morning.
"Hey beautiful" Emma said softly as she opened her eyes and saw brown eyes looking at her, next to her.
They had fallen sleep cuddled up, on top of the bed sheets.
Regina smiled widely, which made Emma pull a soft face and she scooted closer to her.
"Good Morning, my love" Regina said softly.
Emma grinned goofily.
"It is a good morning, it's a great morning" Emma replied softly and pecked Regina's lips, before she started making her way down the brunettes neck.
"Mmm" Regina moaned but a Moment later, she pulled back.
"Emma...as much as I could stay like this all day, you have to be at the sheriff station and I have to help around this place" she sighed.
Emma pulled a sad face.
"Tonight then?"
Regina smirked.
"Tonight, you are taking me on a date" she stroked a few strands of Emma's hair away from her face.
"Yes I am" she said with a smirk and they both hesitantly got up and got ready.
An Hour later.
"Hey dad" Emma said happily, as she entered the sheriff station.
"Hey" he replied, looking at her strangely.
"Isn't it a great day" she said, with a smile, even as she picked up a handful of paperwork she still had that smile on her face.
"Okay, what's going on?" Her father asked, concerned.
Emma glanced over to him and noticed he standing hand on hip and looking concerned.
"I..me and Regina are friends again" she replied happily and then added, more than friends in her head and her smile grew even bigger.
"That's great news, I won't have to see your sad face all the time anymore" he smirked.
"Thanks a lot dad" she said, pretending offense and looked through the papers in her hand, but she couldn't wait to text Regina, so she got her phone and typed
Hey, I miss you already I can't wait till later, love you Xx
She then pressed send and sighed, it was going to be a long day.
Meanwhile Regina was wondering around the inn, doing her usual routines when she felt a buzz of her phone. She smiled to herself, knowing who it was or at least hoping it was Emma and she grinned like a fool, upon finishing the message and she quickly typed back
I am counting the hours, I love you so much XX
she pressed send and continued debating what to wear to her date and wondering, if Emma would stay the night again.
Emma nearly fell off her chair, upon reading Regina's reply and she decided on her break, she was going to surprise her with a hot chocolate and an apple and the most passionate kiss she could muster.
It was 1.37pm, when Emma walked into the inn with an apple and a takeaway cup in her hands.
She glanced left and right at the empty rooms, her heart was racing in anticipation she made her way to Regina's room and knocked on the door with her foot and a moment later, Regina opened it and she was truly surprised.
"Hey, I brought you lunch, hope you don't mind" she said with a grin, as her eyes traced every part of her loves face.
"Don't be silly, it's a wonderful surprise" she stepped out of the way. to allow Emma in.
"Lunch and a date in the same day" Regina then teased.
"I know, I'm the best" Emma teased, as she placed the drink and apple down and turned to Regina, who surged forward and wrapped her arms around the blonde, kissing her hungrily and Emma moaned into Regina's mouth and after a long moment, Emma Was on top of Regina on the bed and kissing down her neck and Regina was running her hands through blonde locks.
Emma had to will with all her strength to stop, she pulled back slightly panting.
"Woah "
Regina's stared up at her with darkening eyes and Emma felt a wave of arousal surge through her and she leaned back down and pecked full lips.
"Ugh, I have to get back to the station, otherwise my dad will be pissed off" she muttered sadly, pulling herself up and straightened herself out and Regina did the same and they both chuckled lightly, while glancing at one another.
Regina then took Emma's hands in front of her "thank-you for my lunch" she grinned and Emma smirked.
"It was no problem, I should go" Emma said, but stayed rooted to the spot.
"Until tonight then" Regina said sweetly and picked up the cup of hot chocolate.
"Yeah, about tonight we haven't really discussed what's happening have we?"
"No, I guess not" she tilted her head.
Emma pondered for a moment.
"Just be ready at 7, I will come pick you up"
"Okay, where are we going?"
"It's a surprise" she replied, but honestly she hadn't had time to arrange anything in this short amount of time and knew once she left Regina, she'd be freaking out to arrange something nice.
Regina smiled softly.
"I will see you later" Emma said, stepping forward and giving Regina a long soft kiss and then walked to the door and she turned round briefly after open the door and said "I love you"
Regina smiled widely "And I love you" she replied.
Emma then winked at her and then hesitantly left.
She then immediately called the best restaurant in town, hoping their was a free table.
"Oh hello, I was calling to see if you have a free table for tonight" Emma bit her lip.
"for how many?" A woman asked.
"Two"
"Your in luck, their was a cancellation this morning for 8pm will that be suitable?"
"YES, great" Emma replied and the woman lightly chuckled.
"Can I take your name?" "Emma, Emma Nolan" and a moment later "Thank-you Emma, we look forward to seeing you this evening"
"Thanks bye" she hanged up and fist pumped before thinking, all I got to worry about now is what to wear and she quickly went back to the station.
Later that evening.
Emma was looking through her wardrobe and she let out a frustrated huff.
"The only good dress I have is this red one and she's seen me in it already" she muttered to herself not noticing her mother leaning on her door frame.
"I am happy that you and Regina are friends again, you seem much happier now" her mother said, as she saw Emma pull the red dress out.
"Mom how long you been standing there" Emma muttered not looking at her.
"Not long and are your going to wear a dress tonight" her mother raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, why?" Emma asked anxiously.
"No reason, you just don't usually wear a dress unless it's a special occasion"
"Well, being friends again is a special occasion, I guess" Emma said weakly.
"It's okay Emma, I know" her mother chuckled.
Emma's eyes widened "you know what exactly?"
"I know That you like Regina"
"I wouldn't be friends with her if I didn't like her" Emma snapped and she rolled her eyes.
"I mean you like her, like her" her mother said casually, now stepping into the room.
Emma stared at her mother.
"I haven't told your father yet" her mother added.
"How.." Emma muttered.
"The way you have been recently and then I thought back to Christmas" she smiled.
"Oh, are you okay with it?"
"Honey" she took Emma's hand "All I want is my daughter to be happy and although this is not what I ever imagined for you, I realize the effect she has on you and that you love her and I believe she feels the same, Happy endings are not what we expect them to be " she smiled.
Emma's eyes glazed over and she squeezed her mom's hand.
"I do mom and I know, she feels the same way too"
