Chapter 2: Some things don't change

Hotel – Breakfast

"Aaugh, so sleepy." Emma mumbled under her breath as she keep on chewing her bread.

"I told you to sleep." Regina closed her eyes as she replayed and took a bit of her fruit salad.

Yes, Regina did told her to sleep, but last night Emma wanted to continue to watch TV, then there was a movie with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, and even though she won't admit she's a stuck up for comedic romance movies, she loves that movie and obviously only fell asleep at 1am or something. So no, seven hours of sleep wasn't enough for Emma; and Regina being with Emma through this journey for awhile now, knows that Emma is only completely satisfied with nine or ten hours of sleep, which only proves Regina's theory on how childish Emma can be.

Emma rolled her eyes at Regina and kept eating her meat sandwich, which was pretty tasty. "Yeah, mom." She teased.

"Please no. Even though you give me more work than my infant." Regina commented as she was now missing her baby boy.

Emma chuckled and shook her head. "Oh yeah, when are you bringing the little monkey?"

Regina frowned at that. "Miss Swan, please don't talk with your mouth full of food; and Henry is not a little monkey, why do you insist on calling him that?" Regina took a sip of her apple juice. "But I am suppose to pick him up at the airport in few hours."

Emma groaned lowly when Regina corrected her ways but then just shrugged when she asked why she kept calling Henry little monkey...because well he looked like a little adorable monkey, what's so wrong about that? Emma thinks its pretty cute nickname. - After swallowing her food she spoke. "Is he with your mother?"

Regina nodded as she chewed on a piece of fruit.

Emma rose her eyebrows up and sighed. "But she won't show up at the games or the practice, right?"

Regina perked up an eyebrow at Emma and then chuckled lowly. "I can't promise you anything, dear. Maybe some motivation would be good for you."

"Motivation?! She scares the hell out of me, Regina! Why she gets all excited and worked up for football? She's not the couch, you know." Emma frowned at the end as she began to remember about all the times Cora showed up at the practices or games and was basically yelling at Emma with whatever she was doing wrong and telling her what to do, what not to do; this was basically something that run in the Mills family, Regina controlled her as well.

"Oh please, she just corrects your ways."

"She's obsessed."

Regina just shook her head and chuckled again as she continued eating her breakfast.

Believe it or not Cora had this football obsession within her, like Emma calls it. Because that woman whenever has the chance she shows up at the practices and at the games, put the couch in her place and starts yelling at Emma and some of the other players, but its mostly at her. - She remembers the fight Cora and the couch had, which was hilarious for Emma till she got scratched by Cora; that woman was totally up to harm the couch! Only because she had a different game strategy than her and she refused to listen to hers.

Football Practice

Whenever they finished their breakfast, Regina and Emma were both walking through the hotel hallways so they could leave and get in the car. - Obviously Emma was with one of her tracksuits, it was blue and white, with the symbol of her country on the left side of her chest, this time Regina could get Emma to wear some football boots that matched her tracksuit, so right now she was wearing some dark blue ones; even if Regina found the look awful, it was necessary for her training and what so ever, so the least she could do was make her kind of presentable. - She doesn't even know why she takes care of Emma so much, obviously there's tons of money involved, but sometimes it isn't even worth of it, gosh.

Right now the driver parked the car in front of the back gates cause there wasn't any journalists or fans, and Emma just jumped out of the car, feeling already all pumped to start playing.

"Miss Swan, I will come pick you up at four. We've got a reunion with your sponsors." Regina told her as she looked up at Emma through her sunglasses.

Emma grabbed the door and made sure to take one last look at Regina; she was drop dead gorgeous right now, with a right dark red dress and Emma was loving those tan legs, but she knew she couldn't stare for long, what a shame. "Kay, see you later then." Emma grinned and winked at Regina before close the door.

Regina simple rolled her eyes because she noticed the blonde checking her out, then the driver just drove off.

"Ah, time to say my babes." Emma mumbled to herself with a big smile as she open the back gates and since she was so excited to see everybody else she just felt like running to the field, but there was already the uniform boy, handing the uniform to Emma and telling her where the locker room was. - She thanked him and actually end up giving him an autograph, she loved when her fans were also male.

After changing quickly and putting on the training uniform, fix her boots, tie her long wavy blonde hair into a pony tail and put on her dark bracelet that she used to easily wipe off the sweat that would probably form on her forehead later on; she went to the field.

She stepped in it with her sports bag under her arm as she saw her teammates already training, damn all her old pals, but there were also new ones. The first one to see her was Solo and she was running towards her. Emma rose her eyebrows up with a big smile as she waited for her friend to come, but she was sure Solo would tackle her, so she dropped her sports bag and stretched out her arms, in a second Solo wrapped her arms tightly around Emma's neck and Emma wrapped her arms around Solo's waist as the both women hugged each other tightly.

"Damn, took you long!" Solo commented as everybody else was noticing Emma as well and they were approaching her.

"Sorry about that." Emma said, she was not going to have another person scolding her, she already had that scolding part of being late with Regina. "What's up Captain?!" Emma shouted at Christie as the other brunette approached her and they both high five each other before hug.

"Yeah, you are not going to call me captain anymore." Christie commented after patting Emma's back and pull back from the hug. "Missed that face, blondie."

"What you mean by that?" Emma frowned.

"Ems!" Now it was Christen shouting out for her.

Emma quickly turned around and Christen showed up out of nowhere and began to mess up with Emma's hair by rubbing her hand over her head. "H-Hi, Chris." Emma smiled at her and punched her shoulder slightly.

Now everybody was around Emma and so was the new players, she greeted them all, and they were just suffocating her. "Okay, girls! Enough love." Emma said with a laugh before step back. "I still want to know what's up with that no captain thing anymore?"

Now it was couch turn to show up and speak. "Good to see you again, Swan."

"Coach." Greeted the woman with respect and a big smile.

"Are you going tell her, or shall I?" Christie said to the couch as she put her palms on her hips.

Jill just smiled and looked back at Emma. "Christie isn't the captain this year. You are."

Emma had her mouth open as she stared at her coach. "No way."

"Yup, totally." Christie said.

"No."

"Shut up, and take the title, Ems." Christen punched Emma's shoulder now.

"Are you serious?" Emma was trying to not stutter. "I mean, I know I am good and all but being a captain?"

"Jeez, aren't you modest." Solo commented with a chuckle.

"Wouldn't you like to give it a try? I am sure you will do a great job." Jill said.

"Of course I'd love to! But I swear if I fuck up anything, the blame is all on you couch." Emma chuckled as she shrugged.

"Hope not. Now enough chit chat and let's get to work ladies." Jill clapped her hands and everybody else just went back to their warm up.

Team's Lunch

Everybody was back in the small stadium they were practicing, they already had a room waiting for them so they could fill their stomach and Emma was starving.

"All this responsibility making me hungry." Emma mumbled.

And Solo gasped. "You didn't even start the real job yet!"

And everybody else laughed.

"Let's just eat!" Emma said as she open the door and a lovely smell met her nose. "Spaghetti!" She quickly shouted out and ran to where the food was as she got herself a plate and began to serve herself.

"Well, some things don't change." Christie commented as she went to serve herself as well.

"Watch her getting tummy ache in a bit and the couch will yell at her." Christen said with a grin before follow up the rest of the team.

"Oh, things for sure don't change." Solo chuckled and went after Christen.

After few minutes, they were already all on the table, having their juices or water and eating their spaghetti with meat balls. Emma was just eating as much as she could, god she missed the good food, the good home made food, cause she's sure they didn't order anything, this could only be home made. Of course the all hotels and stuff have good food and all, but there isn't nothing better than the traditional home made food.

"Okay guys, selfie!" Emma shouted as she removed her phone from the pocket of her track suit and turned around slightly so her back would be facing everybody but her face not; since she was on the edge of the table. Everybody stopped their eating, some made faces, some just smiled, but Emma was making a funny face with her eyes, like she was shocked with what was going on, then she took a photo where she is just with a bright childish smile. "All good. But we can't do anything to Solo's face though."

And that made the goalkeeper gasp. "Excuse me?!"

Emma laughed out loud before put her phone back. "Chill Solo, you are a hottie."

"Well that's a lot better." Solo grinned at Emma before return to her eating. "I am sorry you didn't come out as hot as I did, Emma."

"Oh whoa, just because you were the hottest player last year, doesn't mean this year will be the same!"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Damn right! I will beat you at it this time."

"Doubt it."

"What? Take that back!"

"No!"

They were arguing like children and the team was already used even though the new members were still looking kind of shocked at them, but nothing to worry about; like Christie said, there are things that never change.

Practice

Everybody was beat, some were laying on the ground, others just sitting down and some were still playing a little with the ball, but just to make tricks and pass it to each other. The practice was over and Jill totally made them work out the best they could. Also Jill yelled at Emma after she got a tummy ache while running, they rested for an hour and half, that should be enough, because it was for everybody else, but for Emma who ate so much, there was still left food in her stomach to digest.

But after resting ten minutes she was good to go again and now was just laying on the ground, with her arms and legs spread open, as her shirt was all raised up even revealing a bit of her sports bra; it was hot, and she had already used all her water to pour it over her body and drink it too.

She wasn't sure what time it was, but she knew soon she had to meet up with Regina….or Regina would meet up with her because right now she was seeing some woman on the part with no grass, and those legs, were totally Regina's legs, so she allowed her eyes to go all the way up and there was Regina holding her one year old son as she waited for Emma.

"Heeey!" Henry shouted as he squirmed a bit on his mother's arms.

Since the little one still didn't know how to talk but only to say 'mommy', he made noises, and Emma was actually the one who taught Henry to say 'Heey' so it would sound like he was really calling somebody and not just doing random yelling.

Emma looked at the little one and just smiled; she rose her upper body up with her palms and her shirt slowly slid back down. "Heey!" She shouted back at the little one as she took a deep breath; her legs were hurting a bit from everything so she was trying to gain the courage to get up.

Regina eventually had put Henry on the ground because he was moving too much and now she was holding his tiny hand as he tried to remain steady on his feet, he already knew how to take first steps, but he never stoop up for long more than ten steps or something. - But since the boy was adventuring himself, Regina slowly let go off his hand and he began to take one step forward, then two, then three..bouncing a bit, but then took the fourth and before Regina knew he keep on walking towards Emma, who was three meters away from them.

Emma noticed how the little one was putting so much effort on meeting up with her, so she just showed a big smile as she quickly stood up, ignoring the pain and then squat down slightly while stretching out her hands and making grabby hands to Henry. "Come on, little monkey! You got this!"

Henry nommed on his pacifier and looked down at his feet as he had his arms stretched to balance himself and he keep taking one step after another and Regina was admired, shocked, surprised and thrilled that her baby boy was taking so many steps without falling.

"Come on! Almost!" Emma kept her excitement and a big smile, she took two steps closer to make it easier for Henry, and when the little one was three or four steps closer, he looked up at Emma with a big smile and that's probably when he lost his focus and fell forward, but Emma was there and quickly picked him up before he hit the ground. "You did it, little monkey!" Emma said happily as she pressed her lips against the top of his head, giving him a big kiss and hug him against her chest.

Henry just laughed out loudly with that baby loving funny laugh, he dropped his pacifier but it was hanging thanks to the holder; now he was just shoving his both hands in his mouth while laughing; he seemed to be extremely happy as well.

Regina most of the times refused to walk on the grass with her high heels on, but after this loving moment she couldn't wait to kiss her son; so she walked up to Emma and kissed Henry's arm. "That was so good, Henry!" She complimented her son and began to caress his head, feeling his thin soft dark brown hair through her fingers.

Henry yelped in excitement as he jumped on Emma's arms.

Emma chuckled at that and looked at Regina for a moment, watching at how proud she was of her baby, and Emma was also proud, because even if her and Regina had this annoying argument moments, Emma pretty much saw Henry developing. Regina was forced to bring him a long because she had to travel along with Emma; something Emma told her there was no need to, that she only had to come if there was big important meetings and she could take care of the rest on her own; but Regina insisted on tagging along, Emma always thought it was because Regina didn't trust her enough.

So since Regina moved a lot, little Henry had to come too; so it was just adorable seeing him with one year old and finally taking such long big steps for the first time.

While this lovely family happen, the team was behind, watching everything.

"So the rumors are true?" Solo perked up an eyebrow and commented.

"Hmn, never thought Emma was the type of settling down." Christie spoke.

"Well it was about damn time." The coach said as she watched the scene with a smile..

"I don't know, I still have my doubts on this one." Solo said with a shrug.

"Let's hope for the best" Christen said.

And since the teammates noticed it, obviously the bunch of photographers and journalists and fans that remained there watching them all day noticed it too; but since the practice was finishing, there was only two of them, but it was enough to add more to the rumors.

Done! Still good or nah?
