Chapter 10: The Players Comeback
Things have been great these past two years, after calming herself mentally, Emma started with the trainings for her knee and also football trainings because it had indeed be awhile since she played. It wasn't easy, she had to admit the trainings for her knee was actually painful and frustrating but every time she had a break down, Regina would always be there to put her back up on her feet.
Her bond with Regina was very strange, because they spent some long months just with a tension between each other, since Regina's 'kiss' things got a little weird when they where too close and focused on each others lips. They both knew there was something between them yet they seemed to be afraid of taking the step. They'd usually just kiss each other on rare events and never discuss about it. - Till one day Emma just went with it, and it ended on the best way possible.
Only after the such passionate kiss they shared and after waking up with Regina's bare body besides her that she remembered about Robin; she was too focused on getting what she wanted from Regina that she completely forgot the man, even though Emma highly doubted they were still together because well..Regina clearly shows too much feelings towards her, right? So there's no way they could still be together.
And they weren't, Regina explained her that they actually broke up on their first year because he was frustrated at how Regina seemed to care more about the football and Emma, and Regina knew what her priorities were, so she broke up with Robin, even though she stopped feeling some kind of care for the man for awhile now, he just become somebody she knew that sadly used to ignore her true feelings for the blonde.
These lovely moments they shared only become more often and desired, so toxic that Emma couldn't live without it, nor could the brunette. - They spent two years like this, like a couple, even though Emma never properly asked Regina to be her girlfriend; the media was firing again and this time it wasn't about Emma's breakdowns anymore, obviously some or other magazine would use that subject and try to involve it with Emma's relationship with Regina to only fuck things up, but both women knew how exactly the media worked and that didn't affect them one a bit.
Henry also become part of Emma's life, the little boy was now five and constantly asking Emma to play football with him because he wanted to be as good as her or better; she'd never turn down the chance she got to play with him, because he was that bubble of joy that you needed at some point to completely ignore how messed up things were. He'd even sleep over her mansion with Regina as well, it wasn't everyday but it become very often.
When she was fully healed from her knee and psychology healed, Regina quickly got her back on soccer by discussing with the coach Jill to get Emma on the American Team for the next world cup that was to come, the coach didn't seem to be very comfortable with that because as everybody she saw what Emma had been doing, but whenever the blonde proved her she was fine and ready to go, Jill accepted but she said she'd still keep an eye on the player just to be sure; which Emma found it fair.
She just wanted to go play again, it was all she had in her life at some point, now she had Regina and Henry as well, so it was more things to love and to fight for. She had missed her teammates as well, she'd missed the adrenaline she felt on important games and at how there was only couple of minutes to end and they still had to score; she missed all that joy that football brought her. - Whenever the trainings started, Emma decided to quickly apologized every teammate, the coach and even the president of the team for her foolish behavior on the past, but she's here to change and for the best.
Then when the games started it was like living again, she loved it and by the results the American Team was even stronger than four years ago on the last world cup, and Emma showed everybody that she was fine and was her old self, that nothing could take her down now.
So when the final come, she was extremely nervous on the night before, but Regina was there to keep her calm and they actually began to discuss about how Regina already had feelings for the player for years now but always tried to void them because she didn't want to get hurt, and Emma actually understood her because maybe the blonde wouldn't be ready for a relationship, but if it was with Regina, she'd do everything she could to keep the brunette happy.
Then Emma thought that she also had feelings for the brunette at the same time Regina did, so she just laughed at that.
"What's so funny, dear?" Regina mumbled as she had her face over Emma's bare chest, snuggled against her neck.
Emma had her arm around Regina's and was tracing random circles on her back with her finger tips. "Well you see, if you already had feelings for me back then, and I had feelings for you back then; why didn't we start this any sooner?"
Regina perked up an eyebrow and pulled her head back to look better at the blonde. "I am very sure your feelings for me were only carnal."
Emma snorted at that. "Wha-What?" She scratched her cheek with her free hand before shake her head. "Maybe on the very beginning they were, I mean, you can't judge me." Emma rose her eyebrows as she moved her hand up and down in front of Regina's body.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Your body, Regina! You are like a goddess walking around. Obviously I'd quickly feel attracted to you on that way."
"Oh? Is that so?" Regina grinned.
Emma rolled her eyes and smirked. "Yes, don't let it get to your head." Now the blonde was slowly turning to face better the brunette.
"Oh please, I know how to control my ego."
Emma chuckled lowly as she was now on top of Regina, with the silk white sheet hanging on her lower back as she just stared down at the body of the woman she loved. "But then it become so much more.." The blonde mumbled as she leaned down and planted a soft kiss on the brunette's collarbone.
Regina felt her cheeks heat up when Emma was on top of her and staring at her; which she couldn't complain because she was loving the way Emma admired her. "So much more?" Regina asked as her eyes begged for and answer she was desiring to hear.
Emma looked up at her and nodded as she kissed up to the brunette's lips, still supporting herself on her knees and elbows over Regina. "I started to admire you, as a strong woman, as somebody that would get whatever she wanted." Then she moved her lips to Regina's earlobe and tugged on it gently with her teeth, which got her a low moan from the other woman. "At some point you become everything I thought about and loved to spend every minute with you even though you were most of the time treating me like a child." She finished her words with a chuckle before pull her head back and look down at the brunette's face.
Regina was enjoying the way Emma's lips felt so good against her skin, but obviously the blonde ruined the moment with her last words. "I treated you like one, because you were obviously acting like one." Regina told her with a challenging smirk.
"Oh really?" Emma rose her eyebrows. "Nah, you were just like that; you loved nagging me."
"Did not. You got the treatment you deserved."
Emma rolled her eyes before chuckle. "And what about when you controlled my sleeping schedules?"
"You had to sleep. Practices started at ten, and you had to be up at eight, and you get cranky when you don't get to sleep ten hours; like a child."
Emma wrinkled her nose at that. "Everybody loves sleep."
"Yes, but I sleep between six or eight hours per night, and that's enough."
"I do a lot of exercise I need more sleep!"
"That's exactly why I controlled your sleeping schedule." And Regina won.
Emma just rolled her eyes before kiss the brunette's lips. "Just shut up." She mumbled against her lips with a smirk, before slightly lower her body and finally letting it press against Regina's naked body. She went back on kissing those lovely full red lips and press herself more against Regina just enjoying the way their bodies touched, it was such a lovely and lustful feeling.
Regina smirked when Emma told her to shut up because the blonde knew the brunette was right. She moved her hands to the blonde's back and started kissing her lips deeply, letting her tongue explore the inside of her mouth as she arched her back to feel more of every inch of Emma's body on hers. At some point Regina broke the kiss and mumbled against Emma's lips. "It's almost midnight, you have to sleep."
Emma quickly frowned and felt like the moment was totally ruined. "Are you serious? You can't say anything more sexier than that?"
Regina perked up an eyebrow and stared at the blonde, amused. "I can, by starting to tell you to brush your teeth and pee before sleep."
Emma groaned and just dropped her head onto Regina's chest. "I don't wanna sleep." She mumbled against the brunette's skin. "I want you.." She stuck out her tongue and licked her chest slightly before let her tongue flick against one of Regina's nipple and use her hands to squeeze her breasts.
Regina was about to warn Emma again about the sleeping till the blonde decided to arouse her again. Regina gasped when she felt Emma's tongue against her nipple and moaned lowly with the squeeze. "You will get cranky tomorrow morning and you have the game at fi-" Regina told her like she was trying her best to scold her till she felt Emma's knee against her core quickly making her breathless again.
Emma grinned and looked up at Regina enjoying the way her touch on the brunette's body was very..entertaining. "You were saying?" Emma squeezed her breasts again and pinched one of the nipples. "I will only get cranky if you don't give me this now." Emma mumbled as she wrapped her lips around the brunette's nipple and started sucking on it.
Regina frowned as she looked down at the blonde but her expression quickly soften when the player started messing around with her nipples again; obviously Emma was desiring for her body, again. As Regina was desiring for hers, a lot actually. - Still with her hands on the blonde's back she allowed her nails to scratch slightly the other woman's back, without leaving any bruise, just letting her enjoy the feeling.
Emma hummed against Regina's skin and began to kiss down on her belly still with her hands squeezing her breasts and playing with her hard nipples; when she went lower with her kisses she allowed her hand to squeeze Regina's sides, then hips and finally her thighs, the blonde gave soft kisses on her inner thigh and when she was about to taste the brunette, a tiny voice ruined everything.
"Mommy! Bad dream!" Henry basically shouted through some soft sobs, he was on one of the guests rooms and Regina was actually glad he decided to just shout out for her and not come find her, because she wasn't going to explain her five year old son what he just saw.
Emma groaned and leaned her forehead against Regina's inner thigh for a moment. "God damn it."
Regina at some point was totally ready for Emma but obviously her son would decide to interfere on the best part. Regina allowed her head fall back as she let out a loud sigh along with a low chuckle. "Told you the best was to sleep." Regina told her before pull herself back from the blonde and sit up. "I'll go check on Henry." The brunette mumbled as she raised her legs over the blonde to stand up, since the player still seemed to just drop there on the bed, feeling defeated. "On the meantime, get ready to sleep." Regina smirked and allowed her fingertips to caress the blonde's arm briefly.
Emma loved the little man, but couldn't he wait a little longer to have that bad dream?!
Final Game
It was the day of the final from world up, America was playing against Germany, and they actually defeated France on the semi-final, which was like a total revenge from the last world cup. Everybody was pumped for this game and it was obvious because of the result: 3-3.
They were on the second part of the game, five minutes to end, a corner for the American team. It was like a freaking deja vu all over again for Emma and probably for the fans and the players as well. When the ball was kicked and Emma saw it flying on her direction, she kicked herself off the ground and jumped. This is it, don't be afraid, you can do this..Things felt kind of slow motion for her, because there was part of her that was waiting for the same punch against her head like four years ago, but it never come and Emma scored with her head, when she noticed it, she instantly screamed in victory and her teammates just tackled her, even the ones that were on the bench ran to the field to tackle her as well, she felt extremely happy and thrilled that she scored for the victory of her team.
The five minutes and three more extra seemed like hours, because it was on that time the opponent team could score at any minute and everybody felt extremely anxious, but whenever the referee blew the whistle, everybody went hysterical. Everybody left the bench to run to the team on the field and they just all started cheering together and once again they decided to tackle Emma; the blonde was loving the all attention and love, but she was desiring to do something first. Whenever her teammates let her go, she ran up to the stands, and people quickly started cheering at her, stretching out their hands to touch her hand, and Emma did high-fived a few, but she was only there for one person. "Regina!" She shouted with joy as she watched the brunette on the front stand, dressing very casual with just some pair of tight jeans and blouse.
Regina smiled brightly whenever she saw the blonde and she allowed her body to bend all the way down over the stands, using her legs and torso strength to keep half of her body in and half of her body hanging to reach for the blonde who was on the field. "You did it!" Regina said happily as she stretched out her hands to cup the blonde's face.
Emma was now slightly tip-toeing to reach the brunette's face as she kept her big smile. "We won." Emma rose her head up and pressed her lips against the other woman, giving her a strong full of passion kiss; this was all she needed right now, and she had to admit that holding the cup wouldn't be as great as this feeling.
She won, against all odds, she healed and proved everybody else that she could do it; with Regina by her side she felt like she could do anything and more.
From now on she'd appreciate every moment she could and never give up, because now she has a family that are looking up at her too.
The End.
The last scene was actually based on a picture I saw of Abby Wambach kissing her wife.
