AN: Soooo its been a while but I had a fairly good reason. Originally I was planning on ditching this account because I recently started writing on another one, this one was just getting to be too much with too many different things. But thanks to another author on here, who shall remain nameless I decided to keep it because well...I still am Nasty Nikolo. Lol. So after some 'spring cleaning' if you will, I deleted any story that wasn't OUAT/SQ related or didn't reflect me as a writer now. My English has gotten better and even I cringe at some of the things that I have written in the past. I'm going to try to be better about updating and all that jazz so thanks for sticking it out.
She woke up slicked with sweat, her legs tangled in between her dark princesses as she tried unsuccessfully to separate them. The brunette simply tightened her hold on her, as her eyes fluttered open.
"What's the matter? Are you feeling alright?" Regina was on high alert, as she took in Emma's panicked features.
"I would be fine, if you released me!" Emma bit out harsher than she intended to, and she knew her comment stung Regina when the brunette blushed and released her immediately. However she choose not to dwell on the fact, instead rising and heading out the room to relieve her bladder. Once she wiped down her sticky flesh with a cool cloth, she headed back to her room catching Regina about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Emma frowned, looking outside briefly at the pitch black sky.
"I assumed that now that you have gathered yourself, it would be best if I returned to my room." Regina turned to look at a conflicted Emma.
"I didn't mean to upset you, I don't know why I snapped at you like that. Forgive me?" Emma took a slight step towards the other girl, watching a small smile pull at the corner of her mouth.
"There is nothing to forgive." Regina shook her head, closing the distance between the two and pulling Emma into a hug. The blonde seemingly molded into her side, as she took a deep breath.
"I should be more angry with you, you shouldn't even be here!" Emma exclaimed, tightening her grip around Regina's waist when the brunette tried to break away
"Yet I feel a but coming along." Regina murmured stiffly.
"Yet I waited so long to have you to myself, it seems like such a waste to push you away. You can make it up to me, but who said it had to be at a distance? I just want to lay down, and forget about this whole thing. Forget about my brother, your lovers , the kingdoms..." Emma shook her head, before pulling back some. Regina grabbed her chin firmly, making sure the blonde would look at her as she spoke.
"We both know I don' have lovers. Those people...they wouldn't even constitute as play things. That part of my life is finished. Now all I'm worried about is keeping you happy and content, maybe having a few children and living our lives to the fullest." Regina pecked the corner of her mouth, wanting to leave the decision up to Emma on whether or not they should kiss.
"When I was trapped in that place...I was with child. It seemed so frightening to have a child inside of me." Emma frowned, placing her hand on her stomach.
"Were you not happy?" Regina asked, placing her hand over Emma's
"Quite the contrary, I feel this strange sensation. It felt amazing so homey and full of love. I just- I've never really felt like that except when I first came to live with Zelena. Before her I had no idea what it was like to be loved completely regardless of the magical powers I posse. From what I remember of mother, she was always stuck on Lucia since she was just a babe. My father had Leopold from a previous relationship before they wed, so I was the middle stuck in limbo. They had always planned on giving the throne to my brother." Emma admitted.
"I think this is the first time I've heard you refer to them as your family in a long time." Regina pointed out.
"Yes well, I realized that if I want what is mine, I can't forsake my blood line. Me saying they aren't my family isn't hurting them and it isn't true. I suppose it will be easier for me when the time comes to look my makers in the eye as I watch the light leave theirs." Emma spoke stoically.
"Here I thought I was the vindictive one in the relationship." Regina jested
"Oh my love, you wear that title with pride. I simply wish to return the favor to the ones who have tried on many occasions to spill my blood and take what is mine." Emma grinned lazily, as Regina led her back over toward the bed.
"What is yours?" Regina cocked an eyebrow, holding open the covers for Emma to slide under. The blonde grabbed a handful of her plump bottom , causing her to squeak as she chuckled.
"That is what you pledged to me but a few hours ago. Or are you already going back one your word?" Emma asked in an all too serious tone, daring Regina to refute what she was saying.
"I am yours, however I didn't realize you were going to start a war over my ass." Regina replied sarcastically.
"I mean it is a nice ass." Emma repeated the words she had spoken to Elsa not too long ago. Regina simply snorted before pulling the blonde flush against her chest. When she heard Emma's stomach growl loudly in the silent room she sat up abruptly.
"Where are you going?" Emma questioned.
"My Princess, you need substance." Regina gently pushed Emma's shoulder back onto the bed.
"I'm not hungry." Emma denied.
"Your stomach seems to beg to differ. I'll only be a moment." Regina swung her legs towards the floor but Emma stopped her once again.
"Regina I-I'm not hungry!" Emma lied once more.
"Why are you so adamant about not eating?" Regina frowned.
"Well excuse me if the last thing I put into my body nearly killed me." Emma mumbled but Regina heard her.
"My love, nothing like that will ever happen to you again so long as I still have a breath in my body. I shall test anything you wish to eat before you to make sure it is suitable." Regina rubbed the blonde's back, just as her stomach grumbled again. Realizing Emma wasn't going to respond to her verbally, she set out to grab some stew from earlier that evening. Picking up some bread, cheese and other little bite sized morsels for Emma to snack on while her stomach recovered, Regina preformed an enchantment to see if the food was tainted in anyway. Discarding a piece of moldy bread from the bottom of the platter she walked back into Emma's room.
The blonde was sitting pouting, but she licked her lips when she caught sight of the large bowl of stew.
Regina set the tray carefully on the bed, before going about tasting everything before Emma just so the blonde would have some peace of mind. Dipping some bread into the stew broth, she gently pressed it to Emma's mouth as the blonde somewhat reluctantly bit off a piece and slowly began to chew it. Taking a larger bite when her stomach didn't roll with nausea, she let Regina feed her until the large piece of bread was gone. Declining the cheese and the other morsels on the platter, she watched Regina shrug before eating them.
"Did you eat at all while I was asleep? Your appetite seems to revival my own." Emma smirked.
"Yes well, I didn't have much of an appetite then." Regina blushed slightly but kept eating.
"I am glad it came back. I happen to like you with all of your curves." Emma watched Regina blush further.
It had been the first time in a while since she had finally left her room. Walking seemed to take a lot out of her, but thankfully Regina offered to walk with her and her arm for support. Her legs felt like jelly but she knew the only way to over come it was by physically activity. It also gave her some time to speak with Regina, and it let her hash out some of the little things that were bothering her. Everything was going okay until they bumped into Robin Hood, who except for the scratch on his chin looked no worse for wear.
"Your Highness." He addressed Regina, completely ignoring Emma.
"I see my mother healed you up nicely. Do allow me to apologize." Regina responded monotonously but made no move to actually do it.
"Yes well, she says I am worth more to her alive than dead" Robin tried to joke but both women just looked at him blankly.
"You have been appointed Captain of the Guard..." Emma couldn't hide her disdain, just like Robin didn't bother hiding his glare from her.
"Yes Swan, I have." He bit back.
"Well Captain of the Guard, you shall do well to remember your place when speaking to the princess. Even more so, your future Queen." Regina ground her teeth, stepping slight in front of Emma.
"With all due respect your Majesty, but the white princess will not be my queen. I am stationed in the Dark Kingdom, not Oz." Robin softened slightly when addressing Regina.
"That is where you are mistaken. She shall be the Queen of Oz, The White Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom when the time comes. I will not remind you again to watch how you address my beloved." Regina sneered.
"Beloved? Where was she several nights ago?" Robin scoffed, before realizing his mistake when he was sent flying back. Regina whipped around to see Emma sway slightly before the blonde took a step forward.
"Let me just say this, and I pray you listen clearly...she is mine! And I do not share well with others." Emma gritted out, thankful when Regina placed a hand on her lower back steadying her. The brunette didn't even spare Robin a glance as she poofed them to her own, newly appointed quarters since herse was still in the process of being repaired.
"That was utterly reckless!" Regina chastised, helping Emma onto the bed.
"Maybe, but it was necessary. I am not one for sharing Regina, and its high time people figure that out! Did you expect me to just sit there and listen to how you two had been intimate with each other, while he slandered me like a common peasant?" Emma hissed.
"No my love, but I expect you to know your limits. I could have handle him, and I was not intimate with him!" Regina protested, sliding in beside Emma.
"I don't like that you let him touch you, and that you reject me whenever I tried." Emma admitted playing with a loose thread on her quilt.
"Emma it is far easier to open up your body to someone than it is your heart. You have that from me, my heart. You are the one I love, they are the ones I used. I never meant to hurt you but that doesn't change the fact that I did so anyways. I am sorry my princess." Regina laid her head on Emma's chest.
"I know you are, and that's why I allowed you to keep my heart." Emma whispered.
