A/N: OMG guys! I'm so sorry for the late update! I just didn't realise how hard Grade 10 would be and I'm actually writing this in a study break so yeah but anyways. Thank you guys for all the kind reviews! I see that many of you are happy they kissed *grins* and I also see many of you liked the story, tbh... I was planning on taking that out but it looks like my gut was right in telling me to keep it in. Okay enough of my babbling, you're here for the next chapter.
Disclaimer in Chapter 1
Enjoy!
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.
Of course with Emma's luck, this would not be so. Ruby and Belle walked into the garage and the blonde and brunette jumped apart quickly. Ruby being Ruby, whistled, "I knew it!" she said, with a wolfish grin on her face, "You go gi- ouch!" Ruby exclaimed, Belle had hit her arm. "Quiet!" Belle hissed. "Fine. But Emma I need to speak with you very soon." Ruby said, with a shit-eating gin on her face. Emma knew that her best friend wanted to interrogate her on what had occurred, she planned on being busy for the next few hours.
After flashing the two women on the couch a grin, Ruby headed out the garage. Belle shook her head before giving them both a quick smile and hurried out after her girlfriend.
"I'm sorry for Ruby... she's got no censor on that mouth of hers." Emma said with a sheepish grin. Regina chuckled and shook her head. "So... ummm... the uh- the song... Did you like it?" Emma asked hesitantly, absent-mindedly strumming on her guitar, biting her bottom lip. "Yes Emma, I loved it." Regina said smiling, before she leaned forward and captured Emma's lips between her own. "I have to go." the brunette said before standing up. "Leave a glass slipper Cinderella?" Emma asked with a small smile on her lips. Regina chuckled, "I'll leave you with more than that." she said and after another quick peck on Emma's lips Regina was gone.
Emma smiled to herself, still strumming absently on the guitar. She started to hum the song she just sang to Regina, the smile still glued to her lips. "Love remains the same..." she said softly.
Two days after Emma and Regina had shared their kiss, Emma was still daydreaming about it. "Emma!" Mary Margaret said, snapping her fingers in front of Emma's face. "Oh, sorry. What were you saying?" Emma said, snapping out of her daydream. "I said, I'm moving out." Mary Margaret said, "David asked me to move in with him... so I am." she continued. "Oh okay..." Emma said, she wasn't phased by this. David had come to her the day before and told her of his plan, Emma agreed and that was that. "Are you okay with that?" Mary Margaret asked. "Fine. I'm fine. At least you won't have Henry barging into your room at six in the morning." Emma joked, to be completely honest with herself, she was glad that Mary Margaret was moving out, now she could finally eat cereal with chocolate milk without getting scolded like a child.
"I'll help you pack." Emma said, getting up off the stool she was sitting on in the kitchen. Mary Margaret smiled gratefully before they went to start packing the short haired brunette's belongings.
They took a huge part of the day packing everything away. Finally just as the sun was going down all the boxes were stacked by the door and David was on the way to pick up Emma's roommate and take her back to his place, with all the boxes.
Emma's phone rang in her pocket, belting out the theme song to Ben 10. "Henry..." the blonde muttered before she took it out her pocket and answered. "Hello?" Emma said. "Emma!" Ruby almost shouted into the phone. "What? What happened? Who died?" Emma asked, worried as she heard her best friend's frantic tone. "No one died, sheesh. I just found out that the talent scout, you know Tinkerbell Green? Well yeah she's going to be at our gig!"Ruby practically screamed. "WHAT?! Are you shi... Are you kidding me?" Emma said, trailing off as Henry walked into the room, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "I shit you not! Apparently someone old him of us and she wants to see us perform." Ruby was still hysterical.
"Okay, okay... We have to practice more... We have to, otherwise we're probably gonna suck." Emma said.
"We'll have practice tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and also before the gig."
"Okay, I'll call Regina and tell her of the change." Emma said and after exchanging quick goodbyes with Ruby, she hung up.
"Hey kid!" Emma said with a smile, hoisting Henry up and sitting him on her hip, "How'd you sleep?" the blonde mother asked. Henry just nodded before yawning and burying his face in his mother's neck. Emma chuckled at her son before saying goodbye to her roommate, David had arrived during Emma's conversation with Ruby and had packed everything into the car. Emma shut the door before finding Regina in her contact list and pressing the call button.
"Regina Mills."the brunette answered. "Regina! Hi. Ummm... we have to change our practice times. We have to rehearse this whole week, starting tomorrow..." Emma said. "Why? What happened?" Regina asked.
"Because we just found out that Tinkerbell Green, a very well-known talent scout is going to be there. We really want to land a record deal, so our best chance is if we practice like crazy."
"I highly doubt that we won't get the record deal... I have discovered recently that my mother used to work closely with Mis Green. I have not met her personally but if what my mother used to say about her, she is not that hard to impress."
"Really? Wow. Okay, so are you going to come to rehearsals tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Saturday as well maybe, if we feel we need to?"
"Yes, I will be there."
"Okay, awesome. Well... I'll see you tomorrow then."
"It seems you will. Until tomorrow then... Emma..."Regina said before hanging up. Emma smiled, she loved the way her name rolled off Regina tongue and out her plump, red lips. "Who was dat?" Henry asked, now very much awake. Emma put him down when he started fidgeting, "That was Regina. Remember her?" the blonde asked. "Yes, the pwetty lady. She liked your story very much." Henry said with a smile. "Yes she did didn't she?" Emma said with a smile.
Henry giggled when he saw the look on his mother's face, not knowing that she was thinking of her's and Regina's kiss. "You look silly Momma!" Henry giggled. Emma snapped out of her thoughts before dropping into a crouching position, "I don't look silly... You do..." Emma said with a smile. Henry squealed before running away laughing. Emma gave chase.
After twenty minutes of chasing after her son, Emma was exhausted. She plopped onto the couch, chest heaving. Henry came up to his mother, also breathing heavily but still seemed to have boatloads of energy. "Momma?" Henry asked, poking his mother's cheek. "Yeah kid?" Emma asked, pretending to try bite her son's finger when he poked her cheek again. The small brunette giggled in delight, "You supposed to be chasing me." he stated. "Henry... Momma's tired, she doesn't have as much energy as you. Come lie by Momma and we can watch a movie. You can pick it." Emma said. Henry grinned before rushing to the DVD rack that stood next to the T.V. Emma switched the T.V on, "You want to order some pizza kid?" she asked her son, who just nodded vigorously, his gaze never leaving the DVD's.
Whilst she waited for her son to make a decision she fetched her phone lying on the kitchen counter, she ordered a large margarita pizza for themselves before going to see if her son had made a decision. "Chosen one yet?" the blonde asked. "Yes! Dis one!" Henry said and went all Lion King on the DVD box. Emma smiled when he saw he had picked out Despicable Me 2, "Great choice munchkin!" Emma said before taking the box from his hands and putting it into the DVD player.
Henry and his mother lay on the couch. Emma against the back of the couch and Henry wrapped in his mother's arms, his head resting on her shoulder. Emma pressed play on the remote.
When the end credits rolled up on the screen both mother and son were fast asleep, dead to the world.
Emma woke up the next day, a bad crick in her neck, from sleeping on the couch she realised a few minutes later. She glanced at the clock hanging up in the kitchen, 7:30 it read. "Shi...take mushrooms." Emma said, catching herself just in time, as Henry was waking up. "Henry. Come. We're late for school." Emma said softly, whilst trying to wake the small brunette faster. "Mm-mm... Tired Momma." the four year old moaned. "Come on munchkin. Please! You need to get up." Emma pleaded. Henry just shook his head and buried his face deeper into his mother's shoulder. "Fine. Be that way. If you won't get up, I won't get you a hot chocolate from Granny's after school." Emma threatened. That little threat did it though, as soon as her son heard that he wouldn't get his daily hot chocolate from Granny's he was wide awake. "NOOO! Want hot chocolate! Is up Momma." Henry shouted, jumping off the couch and running to his room to get ready.
"Works every time." Emma chuckled to herself as she too got ready for her job.
Ten minutes later both mother and son were ready and were piling into the blonde's yellow bug. Emma dropped Henry off at the day-care centre, the boy ran off after giving his mother a wet kiss on the cheek. Emma drove to her work which happened to be at Granny's. "Hi Rubes." Emma said as she walked into the small but bustling diner. "Hey Ems. Your tables are waiting." the brunette said, pointing to Emma's usual tables. Emma grabbed her waiters tray, notepad and pen before starting her rounds in the diner.
"Hi, welcome to Granny's. May I take your order?" Emma said with a smile. "Yeah, may I have today's special breakfast." the customer said from behind their menu. Emma knew that voice, "Regina?" the blonde asked. the menu was lowered, revealing the beautiful face of the brunette that the blonde hadn't stropped thinking about. "Emma? You? You work here?" Regina asked. "Yeah, I do. Pays the bills." Emma said with a smile. Regina returned it with a smile of her own. "Emma! Ruby! Stop gossiping and get back to work!" Granny shouted from the kitchen. Emma chuckled, "The special then?" she asked. Regina smiled, "Yes please." the brunette said, handing her menu to Emma. "Anything to drink?" the blonde asked. "Coffee, thank you." the brunette said. Emma smiled before going to place Regina's order.
She made three round before she stopped by Regina again, this time to give the brunette her breakfast and coffee. She made another four rounds before going to give Regina the check. "So... I'll see you later at practice?" Emma asked when she gave the brunette the check. Regina wrote something down before digging in her purse to get the money, deliberately not answering the blonde's question until she had given the blonde the money and a generous tip. "You can count on it Miss Swan." Regina said huskily before giving the blonde a kiss. This earned a few whistles from Ruby and other regular customers but earned a shout from Granny, "Emma! I don't pay you to stand around kissing the customers!" Emma chuckled at this before pulling away. "Gotta get back to work, but okay I'll see you later." Emma said with a smile. Regina smiled back before sashaying out the diner, exactly like she did after her audition, throwing a wink and a smirk over her shoulder at the chuckling blonde.
Ruby passed by Emma, making a whipping noise and making a movement like her cracking a whip, Emma laughed before pushing Ruby away playfully and continuing with her work.
At the end of their shift at five, Ruby and Emma rushed out the diner. Emma jumped into her bug and Ruby into her red sports car. Emma raced to the day-care, picked Henry up then raced to Belle and Ruby's house. Ruby's car was parked outside as well as a Mercedes Benz, which she assumed was Regina's. "C'mon Henry, we're gonna practice and you're gonna tell us what you think." Emma said as she quickly unbuckled him from his car seat and they walked into the house together.
Ruby and Belle had already finished tuning their guitars when Emma walked through the door. "Sorry I'm late." Emma said. She sat down at her drums and waited until everyone was ready to start. "Okay let's start off with 'Can We Dance?'" Ruby said. Ruby started singing as Regina played on the keyboard.
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,
I'm known to go a little too fast.
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,
But they're the only friends that I have.
Emma started tapping softly on the drums.
I know I don't know you,
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?
The blonde started playing louder on the drums. Ruby and Belle strummed on their guitars and Ruby carried on singing.
Here we go again, another drink I'm caving in,
And stupid words keep falling from my mouth.
You know that I mean well,
My hands were meant for somewhere else.
Your eyes are doing naughty butterflies
Oh, oh, one more drink and I should go,
Oh, oh, but maybe she might like me though.
Oh, oh, I just can't think of what to say,
Should I go, should I stay?
Just can't let her slip away.
Regina had paused in playing the keyboard but jumped straight back in during the chorus.
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,
I'm known to go a little too fast.
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,
But they're the only friends that I have.
I know I don't know you,
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?
Emma looked at Regina and gave her a smile, the brunette smiled back. Belle and Ruby were standing next to each other, strumming on their guitars and looking into each other's eyes.
I was nearly in, but then came the pushy friend,
Killed the vibe and took my perfect ten away.
You know I need you, girl,
My heart's not made for someone else.
So save me here 'cause I can barely stand.
Oh, oh, one more drink and I should go,
Oh, oh, but maybe she might like me though.
Oh, oh, I can't take this any more,
Should I stay? Should I go?
It just can lead back to her door.
Belle and Ruby were now as close as can be and they were both playing with their eyes closed. 'God I love this!' Emma thought to herself as she played her heart out.
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,
I'm known to go a little too fast.
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,
But they're the only friends that I have.
I know I don't know you,
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?
Emma looked at Regina as Ruby sang the next verse. the blonde mouthed along to them, with a smirk on her face, hoping she'd get the message.
I've been a bad, bad girl
Whispering rude things in her ear,
Please say she'll break,
Please say she'll change
Her mind and bring me back to her place.
Regina smirked back at the grinning blonde, winking seductively at her. Emma laughed before she stopped playing on her drums as Ruby, Belle and Regina stopped playing on their instruments.
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,
I'm known to go a little too fast.
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,
But they're the only friends that I have.
Emma started up her drumming again. As Ruby, Belle and Regina also started playing their instruments too.
I know I don't know you,
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,
I'm known to go a little too fast (a little too fast)
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,
But they're the only friends that I have.
I know I don't know you, But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?
Ruby played the last chord and let it fade out. Henry jumped up from the couch he was sitting on and clapped enthusiastically. Emma stood and her and Ruby gave mock bows, making the small brunette laugh in delight. Regina walked over to the blonde and tapped her on the shoulder. Emma stood up straight and smiled at the brunette. "Don't think I don't know what you meant when you were looking at me earlier. I understand perfectly, but not yet." Regina whispered in Emma's ear. Emma pouted slightly at this put then grinned as an idea popped into her head. Bending down and holding Regina around the legs, Emma hoisted her up and spun her around. The brunette screamed in surprise as she was lifted off the ground but then laughed as she was placed back on the ground. Regina leaned forward to place a kiss upon Emma's lips but was interrupted when a small body pushed between them. "Me, Momma! Me!" Henry shouted, grinning all the while. Emma complied, she picked her son up and spun him around making the small boy squeal in delight. Emma showered kisses all over his face after they stopped spinning. The little boy just laughed and giggled some more. The four women laughed along with the small brunette. This was Emma's family.
