Hi guys. I understand I broke people's hearts and feels with Emma's reaction so here's a special chapter with a little bit of SQ fluff and smut to make you feel better . Its my birthday today (yay!) so I figured I'd try and write something birthday-ish. This is not a continuation of the last chapter (14) but there might be connections to it in the upcoming chapters so be on the look-out. Here goes...
"So, what are your plans?" Henry's voice startled her, she looked up from the pancakes she was making and at him.
"Mmmh?" she asked the boy, not understanding what He meant.
"For mom's birthday. Its on Friday, the day after tomorrow. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, I do... I just...I haven't figured out what to get her yet! Please don't mention it to your mother or you'll be in deep trouble." Regina said, switching off the fire, taking off the apron and turning her full attention to the thirteen year old who was already helping himself to the pancakes and juice for his breakfast.
"Its cool. What are you planning? Romantic dinner? A get-away?! What will you get her?!"
"Okay, hold up! First of all, shhh, you shouldn't let her hear you. This will just be between the two of us. And secondly... you first, what are you getting her?"
"Like a secret mission or something, cool! And I don't know yet either. But I will be sleeping over at a friend's tomorrow so you guys can have the night to yourselves"
Regina smiled at him, blushing crimson. "Well, if you need help with cash or anything, let me know, okay?"
"Okay" Henry replied just as Emma came down the stairs.
"Hey you two! What are you talking about?" she asked as she ruffled her son's hair and went around the kitchen counter to plant a chaste kiss on the brunette's lips.
"Just school stuff," the boy lied. "And we should probably be taking off. I don't wanna be late."

"Have a good day at work" Regina said as she and Emma stood beside her car outside Emma's office building.
"I'll try." She smiled. "But I'll miss you. See you tonight?"
"And I'll miss you too but I'm not sure if I'll be able to see you later. I have some business to take care of and it may take me a while, maybe the whole day. But we can do dinner tomorrow night, is that okay?"
"Okay," Emma's face fell. She leaned in to kiss the brunette's lips and tried her best to hide her disappointment. She had really gotten used to Regina spending her nights at her apartment she hardly remembered that she had a place of her own. The kiss was meant to be chaste and short but it quickly escalated into a hot make out session. They wanted more so they deepened their kiss for several long seconds, relishing the taste and feel of each other's tongue until Emma brought her hands around to Regina's chest and wrenched their mouths apart gently. They stood there in the mid-morning light, oblivious to the rest of the world that was walking all around them, their foreheads pressed together, both of them raggedly trying to catch their breath.
"I Love you," Emma whispered, reluctantly pulling away.
"I Love you too," Regina replied and soon after she was in her car driving away from the blonde. She had seen the look on Emma's face when she'd told her that seeing her that night was impossible and deep down she felt the same way the blonde had looked. She just needed to make Emma's Thursday night as perfect as she could and if she did, she was certain that by the time the night ended, Emma would have forgiven her and would be singing her praises. So she chose not to think about that and let the thoughts of what she would be getting her for her birthday take over her mind. She would give her the world if she could, but she knew Emma only wanted one thing. What Emma always hoped and longed for, was a loving family by her side. Courtesy of her new and fake memories, what Emma longed for most were loving and supportive parents. Even if she tried putting a tough exterior whenever the issue came up, Regina knew. And it broke her heart to know that it was all her fault that Emma lived with so much pain and self-deprecation. Suddenly an idea hit her. She knew what she was going to get the blonde for her birthday. But that would be a present she'd have to wait to open till after the weekend. Depending on how things went in Storybrooke. She still needed to get her something. Something she'd open tomorrow night or Friday morning. So she made it her mission to give Emma the best birthday of her life.

Regina smiled as she checked her phone again to read Henry's message.
Mom will be working late tonight. Goodluck. It read.
Thank you! Love You! She replied.
Love you too! He wrote back
She was going to need luck if Henry's report on Emma's mood since yesterday was anything to go by. How could the blonde even think that she'd forget her birthday, yeah, maybe she hadn't really thought about it with everything that had been going on but she couldn't believe that Emma could think she'd pass a chance to spend time with her! Anyway, she'd deal with that later, right now, she needed to get things ready for tonight before the blonde arrived.
Dressed in a hot, black leather mini-dress and thigh high boots, with 5 inch heels, Regina let down her hair and started lighting the candles she'd placed throughout the house. Emma would be home soon. Much sooner it seems... she thought when she heard Emma's bug pull up at the front.
Standing at the apartment's foyer, she awaited the woman she adored.
She wasn't expecting Emma to shout at her or yell in anger. But she wasn't expecting the tears she saw pull at the other woman's eyes when she let herself inside the house either. Emma glanced at her briefly then turned around to lock the door, taking her time. Regina walked slowly over to her when she realized that she was intentionally avoiding looking at her. "Emma, would you please look at me?"
"No," she sniffed. "Because I've missed you so much and seeing your gorgeous...everything, especially dressed like that, I won't be able to stay mad at you for much longer. What are you doing here anyway?" Regina moved so she was standing behind her. She slipped her arms around Emma's waist, refusing to let go even when she tried to move.
"Well, we said we'd do dinner tonight and because in about an hour, it'll be my very special girlfriend's birthday..." Regina whispered against her hair.
"You remembered?" the question came out as a moan due to Regina's hands moving up and down her breasts and inner thighs.
"Of course I remembered. How would you even think for a second that I wouldn't?"
"I thought...You were just so distant yesterday, I thought you'd forgotten"
"Your birthday?" Regina kissed a trail her neck up to her ear before whispering, "Never. I just wanted to make this night special for you and I knew the only way to do that was if I didn't have you to distract me. I wanted it to be a surprise. I'm sorry if I made you feel like I didn't know about your special day and for how I acted. Will you forgive me, please?" Emma leaned her head against hers.
Regina let her tongue ran down her neck and placed feather light kisses on Emma's shoulder. She shivered under the brunette's touch. She then turned around in her arms and Regina pulled her against her frame assaulting the blonde's lips with hers. The kiss gradually turning passionate. Emma's hand moved inside Regina's hair and she tagged on it lightly causing the brunette to moan. Regina's hands gripped at Emma's ass and her nails dug so deep into her soft flesh she moaned into the brunette's mouth and bucked her hips against her.
Regina moved her hands down the blonde's legs and lifted them so they'd wrap around her waist. She then started sucking at her neck, leaving marks in her wake as she went. She could feel Emma's hardening nipples press against her chest. She bent down and took one between her teeth through the blonde's blouse, biting it down. An action that caused Emma to cry out Regina's name. Regina could feel the heat coming from between the blonde's thighs as she slowly grinded against her body. Emma took off her shirt and Regina moaned at the site of her perfect, lace covered breasts. Using her teeth, she freed her left breast and immediately latched at her nipple, gently biting it down and making her cry out again. She flicked her tongue over it repeatedly and Emma shivered, dragging her nails down Regina's back.
Letting go of one of her legs, Regina unbuttoned Emma's tight pants. She unzipped them and slipped her hand in, letting her fingers run against the blonde's panties. She could feel just how wet she was and she knew she needed to come almost as much as Regina needed to make her. She massaged Emma's sex slowly over the material of her panties and the volume of her moans increased.
"Fuck! please Regina, no teasing" Emma moaned.
Ignoring her pleas, Regina went back to sucking at the blonde's nipples, leaving hickeys all over her chest in the process. She pressed her palm flat against Emma's sex and she whimpered against Regina. She dropped her head against the brunette's shoulder and bit down at it trying to muffle her screams and leaving a hickey of her own too. She was shaking against Regina. "Please baby, I haven't seen you for almost two days and...I need this." Emma pleaded a new.
Finally giving in to the blonde's pleas, Regina pushed aside her wet fabric. They both moaned at the contact her fingers made with Emma's slick wetness. Her fingers slid past her lips and instantly found her clit. She ran them over it in slow motions and Emma screamed her name, digging her nails on Regina's back.
"Oh dear god!, Regina please, don't stop!..."
With no warning, Regina thrust two fingers into Emma and pumped them in and out at a slow but steady pace. Emma met the brunette's thrusts with everything she had and Regina upped her speed, massaging her walls. Emma's screams got louder as she got closer. Regina could tell because of how the blonde's pussy contracted around her fingers. Suddenly she inserted a third finger into her, stretching her and she came instantly. Juices pouring out of her into Regina's hand, soaking her. She continued thrusting inside of her, harder and soon she was coming again, her walls violently contracting around Regina's fingers. Somewhere after Emma's fourth or fifth orgasm, Regina removed her hand and lusciously sucked her fingers clean as Emma tried to recover, her chest heaving and her eyes closed. Oh, if only the princess knew that they were just getting started...
As soon as Emma's bedroom door fell shut, Regina had stepped closer to Emma and used one of her finger, placing it against the blonde's lips. Emma kissed it sweetly, her eyes never leaving the brunette's as she dragged it over her chin, down her throat, between her breasts, along her stomach and over the front of Emma's damp panties. Emma gasped slightly but it was also sexy as hell.
"You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," Regina said quietly, and at that moment she was sure she'd never meant anything more in her life.
No longer able to keep her mouth to herself, Regina pulled Emma's head to hers and kissed her. Hard. With Love, purpose and intention. Conveying with her lips and tongue and teeth just what she wanted to do with her, to her, for hours.
Two steps backwards, Emma's legs hit her mattress and she was down on her back with Regina crawling up her body, her destination being Emma's sweet, wet and hot mouth. Everything happened so fast that Regina could barely remember scrambling out of her own clothes, though the gasp that escaped her as she removed Emma's bra is burned into her memory. The warmth, the smoothness, the taste of the blonde was magnificently clear to her. Emma dug her fingers into Regina's hair as the brunette moved along her body, sampling every inch of her with her mouth, dipping her tongue into Emma's navel and moving lower slowly burying her face between her thighs, holding them apart.
The first touch of Regina's tongue to Emma's centre sent the blonde's hips up off the bed, a quiet, strangled cry emanating from her throat. She closed her eyes and relished the feeling of the other woman sucking her clit into her hot mouth, then her tongue licked her slit from bottom to top over and over again.
Arching against Regina's mouth, Emma could feel her climax building again for the...time, she'd lost count of the times she'd climaxed under the brunette's touches and licks. Her hands caressed Regina's head, her fingers tangling in her soft hair as she licked her. She felt her stroke a finger through her wetness, then thrust deeply inside of her. At the same time she sucked hard on her clit and Emma was lost. She spasmed around the brunette's fingers, her juices pouring out just to be cleaned by Regina's greedy tongue. And then Regina moved up her body, placing light kisses along her body until she reached her lips. Emma gently tugged her face close to hers and kissed her deeply, loving how she tasted on the brunette's lips.
"Are you okay?" Regina asked and tears pulled at Emma's eyes. "Hey, whats wrong?" she tenderly placed her hand on Emma's cheek.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm just...Thank you!"
"For what?"
"This has been the best birthday and I'm just so happy, it scares me"
"You're more than welcome. Enough with the crying. Now if I remember correctly, I owe my girlfriend dinner..."
"Its 2 am in the morning"
"So?... who says you can't eat at 2 am?! Come on!" she pulled Emma off the bed.
Both dressed in robes, they made their way downstairs where Emma stood open-mouthed as she dumb-foundedly gazed at the elegantly table set for two.
"Regina..." she breathed, doing her best to keep her tears at bay.
"Happy Birthday, my love" Regina said, taking the blonde's hand in her own and pulling her in for a loving kiss and embrace.
"That was amazing! Thank you!" Emma said as she took the last bite of her meal. Regina smiled at her as she stood up to clear the table. A few minutes later she got back, three boxes in hand.
"For you, Happy birthday once again" she said, handing the smallest box of the three to Emma. "Open it"
"You didn't have to get me anything. This has already been the greatest day of my life." She said as she opened the box. She gasped. Inside it, were a pair of diamond earrings and a golden locket. "These are...they're beautiful Regina. But you really didn't have to"
"I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. Do you like them?"
"I love them and I love you, thank you!" she leaned across the table and kissed Regina's lips. She took the locket in her hands and carefully opened it. Inside it was a picture of a smiling Henry on one side and on the other was another picture of her and Regina kissing. She inhaled deeply when she felt like she was going to cry. "Will you help me put it on?" she whispered. Regina stood behind her and put it around her neck. She kissed her cheek and from behind her, she handed the next box. "This one is from Henry". Emma smiled when she unwrapped the present to find a framed photo of the three of them. Regina was laying on the couch her head on the blonde's lap, a book in hand as Emma played with her hair and Henry stood behind the couch smiling down at them. They looked like a real family. Beautiful, loving and complete.
"When did He take this?" Emma sniffed.
"I have no idea. He gave me the same one and He has one too." Regina smiled at her son's thoughtfulness as she took the third and final box in her hand. "You have to promise me something..." she started.
"Anything," Emma said as she looked up at the brunette's brown eyes.
"Promise me you won't open this until after this weekend whether or not we'll be together"
"We will be together and you'll be sitting beside me when I open it" Emma smiled at her as she took the box and placed it on the table as she stood and pulled the brunette up with her. "This has been incredible, Regina. Thank you for everything. I love you"
"And I love you too. Ready to go back to bed?" she smirked, knowing all too well sleep was the last thing she had in mind.
"I'm always ready for you but you have to let me return the favour"
"Since its not my birthday, there is no chance of that happening. Tonight is all about you"
"Okay, lets make a deal. I'll race you up the stairs and if I catch you, its my turn to make you feel good, deal?"
"Deal!" Regina shouted as she suddenly took off, running fast towards the stairs.
"Oh! That is so not fair! No cheating!" Emma shouted as she ran after her. Neither of them made it to Emma's bedroom because loud moans could be heard from the stairs as they greedily tore the robes off of each other.
