Disclaimer in chapter 1
Enjoy!
Emma caught Regina's eye again, making the brunette blush deeper. Ruby meanwhile had her solo, Regina would join every now and then to add in a cool sound effect, before they stopped. Henry clapped and cheered. "Awesome guys!" Ruby said, smirking when she saw the interaction between the drummer and keyboardist. Nothing escaped her gaze, she saw the other brunette's blush and the blonde's shit-eating grin. Ruby put her guitar down, before grabbing Belle by the waist and pulling her in for a kiss, "You were really awesome." she whispered when they broke apart. The mostly shy brunette smiled at her girlfriend. Henry could be heard in the background going, "Eeewww! Cooties!" he screeched, "Circle, circle. Dot, dot!" he shouted before sighing, he had taken his cootie shot and was safe. Everyone laughed at the four year old's antics. Unaware to what was going on, the small brunette just carried on humming the tune to 'Casual Sex' planning on teaching it to his classmates on Monday.
"And den... he parted ouwt loud!" Henry said laughing hysterically. The three grown ups looked at him before joining him, not because of the story he told them, of how a boy farted in his class, but because his face had gone read with laughter. "Okay Henry, bedtime." Emma said when the laughter died down. "Aahhww, but Momma I dun wanna!" Henry whined. "I'm sorry munchkin I've let you stay up later than usual. I don't wanna be the bad guy but here how about I make you a deal." Emma said. "Yeah?" Henry said, wondering what the deal was going to be. "If you go to bed, if it's okay with you Rubes, we can stay at Aunty Rubes' for the night." Emma said, looking from her son to her best friend. Ruby smiled, "Are you kidding? You guys haven't stayed over for such a long time! I still have some of your clothes from last time you were here." Ruby said. Henry beamed, "Otay. I is going to bed nows." he said before starting to run out the room.
"Hey! Don't you say good night to Aunty Rubes and Belle and don't forget your new Aunt Regina?" Emma shouted after her son. The small brunette literally skidded to a halt before racing back. He jumped onto Ruby's lap and gave her a big, wet kiss on her cheek, doing the same to Belle. He slid off the two brunette's laps before running over to Regina and jumping into her lap, Emma was surprised but not much, her son had really taken to the new keyboardist. Regina, not sure what to do just held onto the small brunette, to ensure he didn't fall off her lap. "Night, Gina." Henry said before planting a wet kiss on her cheek and hugging her. He jumped off and raced out the room shouting, "Momma! Come tell me a story!" Emma laughed before following her son.
A few minutes later, Henry was all tucked in and waiting for a story. "Which on this time, kid?" the blonde asked. "White Knight and Evil Queen!" he said enthusiastically. Emma sighed, "Again?" her son just nodded. "Okay... Once upon a time there lived a Wicked Queen and a White Knight..." Emma began, oblivious to Regina standing by the doorway, listening in. "Now the Wicked Queen had many names... she was called the Evil Queen, the Evil Witch, the Dark Queen but the name that her parents gave her was-" Emma continued but was interrupted when Henry spotted the brunette eavesdropper. "Gina!" he said with a smile. "Yes her name was Regina... Oh." Emma said when she turned to where Henry was looking. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I just wanted to hear what stories you tell Henry." Regina said, "I'll just go." she turned to leave. "Wait! You're welcome to sit in and listen. Belle and Ruby have heard this story too, since you're now part of our very weird family, you can too." Emma said and gestured to the chair on the other side of the bed. Regina smiled then went to take a seat on the chair.
"Okay so where were we?" Emma said, "I hope you don't mind if I borrow your name... I've always used that name whenever I tell this story." the blonde told the brunette sitting across from her on the other side of the bed. "Go ahead." Regina smiled. "Okay... So the name her parents gave her was Regina. Now on the other side of the kingdom lived a Knight, a White Knight. She also had many names, the Savior, the Sherriff, the Swan but the name her parents gave her was Emma." the blonde mother said with a smile, Henry had insisted she be the hero of every story she told. "Emma was destined to save the land from the Wicked Queen, but she didn't believe she could until a brave young boy showed her a book, filled with stories and fairytales. The boy, Henry, believed so strongly in this book, it gave Emma the strength to believe she could face her destiny.
"She set out to face the Wicked Queen, but she was not prepared for the Queen's overwhelming beauty. The instant Emma laid her eyes on the Queen she fell in love. So... instead of killing the Queen she wanted to find out what made Regina that way. It wasn't easy but after a year of trying to find out what blackened the Queen's heart she finally did. It turns out that when Regina was younger, her mother had killed her True Love... Now Regina was so overwhelmed with grief she took it out on everyone she ruled over, she terrorised villages and committed many horrible things, she went as far as banishing her mother to another world. After hearing this Emma's heart ached for Regina, so when the Queen hosted a rare ball, Emma went, with a mask to cover her face, and danced with the Queen. Regina wanted to know who this strange woman who danced with her was, who this woman she had seemed to fall in love with was, so she followed Emma when she left the ball.
"Realising she was being followed Emma turned and saw that the Queen was following her. When she reached Emma, the White Knight took off her mask to show Regina who it was she was dancing with. Upon seeing who it was Regina was stunned. Emma noticed the Queen's silence, so she decided to kiss the Queen, she had wanted to ever since she saw her. Regina was brought out of her silence by Emma's kiss. When Emma stopped kissing the Queen, she knew that there was no way she could ignore her love for the Queen any longer. The White Knight got down on her knee, which was difficult to do in a dress, and asked the Evil Queen to marry her. With tears running down her face, as she realised she loved Emma, Regina accepted.
"Within a few months the Savoir and the Evil Queen were married, and the boy that helped Emma realise her destiny came to live in the Queen's castle with them. With Emma by her side Regina's heart lightened but not completely, but her rule became kinder and there were balls hosted every two months. The people were happy and the Queen was happy. So the Queen and her White Knight lived happily ever after... The End. Love ya kid." Emma said, bending down to kiss her now sleeping son's forehead.
Emma looked over to Regina who was smiling, "That was a beautiful story." she whispered, not wanting to wake Henry. Emma smiled as she let Regina go through the door before her, before closing the door behind her. "Henry always insists I be the hero of every story I tell him and that he also be a part of it." Emma explained. "Well it's beautiful how you don't tell him conventional stories like Snow White and Cinderella." Regina said with a small smile. Emma smiled back, "Hey, I was wondering if you could lend me your ear for a few minutes... I've got a new song that I've just finished writing and I don't wanna disturb Rubes and Belle." Emma gave Regina a knowing look. Regina chuckled before nodding.
They headed to the garage, Regina sat down on the couch whilst Emma picked up an acoustic guitar that was tucked away in the corner. "You play guitar too?" Regina asked eyebrows raised in surprise. "I'm a woman of many talents." the blonde said with a smile before sitting next to Regina on the couch. Emma got comfortable before she began to sing, strumming on the guitar the whole time.
"A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like a lunar landing
Make me want to run till I find you
I shut the world away from here
Drift to you, you're all I hear
Everything we know fades to black
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending"
Emma locked her eyes with Regina's, still singing. Regina couldn't look away mesmerised by the green orbs staring back at her, the blonde had a wonderful voice, not too deep, not too high, it was just right for this song.
"I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
Find the place where we escape
Take you with me for a space
The city buzz, sounds just like a fridge
I walk the streets through seven bars
I had to find just where you are
The faces seems to blur, they're all the same
Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending"
Regina had unconsciously edged closer to the blonde, who's eyes were now closed. Emma was absorbed within the music.
"I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But love remains the same
So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me out
We shall overcome
So all have stayed in place
We should have had the sun
Could have been inside
Instead we're over here"
Emma opened her eyes again and looked deeply into chocolate brown ones. They had moved closer but Emma didn't mind.
"Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending
Too much time, too long defending
You and I are done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give
Pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
Everything will change
I, oh I, I
wish this could last forever
I, oh I, I
As if we could last forever
Love remains the same
Love remains the same"
Emma took a leap and leaned forward, before capturing the brunette's lips with her own. The fireworks were loud and wonderful. Their lips moved in perfect sync with each other. Emma felt a jolt of electricity run through her, never in all her years has a kiss ever felt this right. The two women never went any further, neither deepened the kiss and neither ended it. This was a perfect moment, nothing could spoil it.
