A/N: Before you get to reading, I want you all to know that I spent days writing this chapter, because I wanted it to be perfect for you guys in every way possible. Also, because this is it guys... the angst starts here. I do hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. Thank you all for your constant reviews and follows, as well as to my guest reviewers whom I can't reply to. Enjoy! :)
It took some convincing, but Emma needed Daniel to stay around for at least another week, to help August get in the groove of things, agreeing that by the end of the second week, he would leave. Which the days passed quick. He still hated the idea of leaving Regina behind, but it's what she wants. Even if it isn't what he wants.
He gladly took the very last paycheck given to him by the blonde herself before leaving. He was hoping to see Regina and hopefully say goodbye, but she had been feeling sick that morning and was indisposed.
They shook hands for the last time.
"I wish you the best of luck. If you ever need my reference, you got it." Emma assured him.
"Thank you. Say goodbye to your wife for me." replied Daniel.
"I will. Forgive her, she just hasn't been feeling well this morning."
"Of course." Daniel nodded, as a sadness came rushing through him in that moment. He actually felt sad about leaving this beautiful place, despite who owned it - it was a beautiful piece of land. And as much as he hated to admit it, Emma always made him and Neal feel right at home.
Both Neal and Daniel got into the SUV, which August offered to drive them into the city. Emma leaned over the car, "Thanks for doing this, August."
"It's no problem, Em. I like the drive." he smiled.
"You be careful." replied Emma as she stepped away from the car.
"Always." was all August said as he drove away with Daniel and Neal sitting in the back.
Regina had been watching through her bedroom window as she saw the car driving away from the house, tears began running down her eyes. She would miss Daniel. Even if she no longer loved him like he first hoped she still did when he first arrived in this place - she would miss him. He was someone truly important to her after all, before Emma.
Mary Margaret stood in front of her, as she wiped away her tears, "Don't cry. You should be happy. You finally get to take a breath, instead of stressing over him being here all the time."
"I know. I just, even though I don't feel the same way for him anymore. He was still someone special to me." the brunette replied as she gave the older woman a sad smile.
"Of course. It's normal. But just think of how wonderful things will be from now on for the both of you." Mary smiled as her hands gently rested against Regina's flat stomach, "Especially with this new baby that's already in here."
This made Regina smile as a light chuckle escaped her lips, placing her hands on top of Mary Margaret's, "Isn't it still too early to tell?"
"Believe me, I know for sure it's growing inside you right now. You've been having all the symptoms. Same ones I used to get when I carried Emma for nine months." she assured the brunette, feeling her body being taken by all her excitement over the new, soon to be member of the family.
Regina's smile grew at the thought of a little person growing inside of her, "Do you think I should share the news with Emma now?"
"With the symptoms starting up now, I'd say so."
Both their heads turned as there was a light knock at the door, Emma peeking in right after, her expression turning to worry as she noticed Regina had been crying, "Regina?" she walked up to her as her thumbs wiped away any shedded tear, "What's wrong, my love?"
"I'll give you two some privacy." said Mary Margaret as she left the room, shutting the door behind her.
Emma walked over to the bed with Regina as they sat down, "What's going on, are you feeling worse than before?"
"It comes and it goes. Truth is, I already know what's wrong with me, Emma." Regina replied as she took her wife's hands into her own.
Emma would have known too, but there was no way she could ever impregnate Regina - so that thought left her thoughts rather quickly. They had never even ever discussed the topic of ever having a child yet, even though that is something Emma desperately dreamed of.
"What?"
Regina smiled as she could practically see the worry in the blonde's eyes, "I'm not a hundred percent sure yet. But with how I've been feeling… Emma… I think I might be pregnant."
Green eyes grew wide before Regina, that if Emma hadn't been feeling Regina's grip on her hands at that moment, she swore she could pass out.
"Wha- pregnant? How?" asked a shocked Emma.
"Well, you see, dear… when two people, such as us fall in love and we have as much sex as we do-" she joked with a serious tone of voice as Emma shot up from the bed, her brain raising with questions.
"Regina!"
Emma shouted, as Regina rested her hands on her wife's arms, calming her down, "Darling, relax. Before you freak out, let me explain…" she quickly hurried towards their drawer where she hid the papers she was given from the clinic, handing them over to Emma before the vein in her forehead popped, "Look, it's all in here. I had an insemination done. Mary and August went with me. You can ask either of them."
Emma's eyes scanned the pages as she flipped through them, staying quieter than Regina had hoped - this had her instantly worrying about what her reaction will be.
"I asked them not to tell you because I wanted to be the one to surprise you, if this worked." her smile suddenly disappeared as it became hard to read Emma's expressions, "Are you… mad that I made this decision on my own as a gift to you?"
The sound of papers shuffling in the air as they fell to the floor before their feet sounded, as Emma released the papers as her eyes met Regina's, pulling in the brunette into her embrace as her lips crashed right on hers in a passionate and loving kiss. Regina's hands were pressed up against the blonde's chest, ready to push her away, but relaxed as soon as she melted into the blonde's lips.
Emma's smile was immediate as she slowly broke their kiss, staying as close as possible to the brunette's body, "You really did this for me?"
Regina released a smile of her own as her arms now rested around Emma's neck, "I did it for us. I know how much you want us to have a baby and I would love nothing more than to give one to you."
A small shriek was heard from Regina as Emma lifted her up in her arms and spinned her around the room. Her smile so big, she swore it would get stuck that way. But her heart was the happiest as soon as she witnessed Emma kneeling in front of her, as she placed a gentle kiss on her stomach, looking up at her with tears in her eyes, "Is this really happening?"
"We'll have to make a doctor's appointment to confirm the pregnancy, but I am having all the symptoms." Regina's own smile made her cheeks hurt, her fingers brushing through Emma's hair.
"We'll schedule one for first thing tomorrow morning." Emma stood to her feet, her arms wrapping around Regina's form once more as she placed chaste kiss after kiss on her lips, "Thank you. Thank you, thank you for this beautiful surprise."
While Emma and Regina were happier than ever, back in Chicago Daniel had been drinking that whole day, and into the night. Nothing like the burning sensation of a smooth liquor the drown your sorrows and heartache. Neal, ever being the supportive friend he was, sat beside him, listening as he cried out his pain.
"She couldn't even say goodbye." he cried as he took the last shot of the night, slamming the small glass on the table. "Emma's lucky. How on earth did she ever win Regina over? How? I don't get it. Do you?" he asked as he looked over to Neal who only shook his head. "How can she love me and then love someone else the next day?"
Neal patted Daniel's shoulder, "Let's get out of here, Daniel. We have a new job interview for tomorrow. You can't be hungover."
Daniel chuckled, "It's a little too late for that, isn't it?" his words in a mumble, as he stood up with Neal's help as they made their way out of the bar after paying for their drinks.
A man stood up right after they had left and walked out as well as he headed down the road and drove off in his car. Only to come to a stop at a very old looking house, where Robert had been hiding. With the money James gave him once, plus the last paycheck Emma wrote out to him, he had enough to get by, only he's only plan right now was to find out all he could about everyone surrounding Emma Swan, as he slowly seeked out the perfect plan to destroy her.
Robert's informant had told him all he had heard from Daniel at the bar as soon as he was inside the old house. Robert's grin was immediate as a laugh escaped from beneath his chest, "This is certainly the best news I've received in a while." he sighed with full satisfaction as he took a seat on an old, dirty reclining chair, "Greg's name is actually Daniel, who as it turns out, Ms. Swan's wife Regina knows too well?" another laugh escaped him as he stood up, "Emma has had the man she hates with all her being right under her nose. I'll give him credit, he was smart. Working under a different name while him and Regina screw around."
"I also was near the ranch the other day. It seems Lily is no longer working there." said the man.
"Find her and bring her here. Also… find out all you can about this Daniel - I'm going to need all the information on him as proof for my dear Emma Swan." he ordered as a wicked grin spread across his lips, "I'm going to enjoy giving her this news personally."
Emma was pulling her side of the covers back, ready to join her wife in bed for the night when her eyes caught a small red box as she took it in her hands, her eyes shifting towards Regina who sat up on her side of the bed, "What's this?"
Regina flashed her a smile, "You'll have to open it to find out."
As the blonde lifted the top, she reached in as she held a silver necklace with a circular pendant, a silver swan right in the middle. She looked over to Regina once again, who was kneeling before her now, "It's very beautiful."
The brunette took the necklace into her hands as she motioned for Emma to turn around, which she did obediently as Regina hung the necklace around Emma's neck, "I saw this when I went into the city that morning with Mary. I knew it had to be yours." she placed a quick chaste kiss behind Emma's neck as the blonde turned to face her adoring wife.
"Thank you. I love it." Emma murmured as her fingers caressed over the pendant, "I'll always wear it." she leaned in, placing a quick kiss on the brunette's lips as she crawled over her, placing another kiss on her lips before resting her head on Regina's stomach.
This brought an immediate smile to Regina's lips as an olive hand stroked the blonde's hair, "I'm not sure it can feel anything yet, darling."
"Oh, it can. It may be just as little as a jelly bean, but I know it." replied Emma as her lips curved up in a smile, placing a gentle kiss on Regina's stomach.
"For the doctor's appointment tomorrow, I'd love it if Mary and August came along with us. If that's alright?"
"Of course. Whatever makes you happy." Emma's head lifted up as her eyes met bright brown ones, "Are you happy?" she asked - not because she didn't think so, but because she wanted nothing more than for the love of her life to be completely happy.
"I am." the brunette replied as another smile spread across her lips, her hand still brushing Emma's soft, golden locks, "I'm the happiest I've ever been."
By morning, Robert's confident brought him what he was most anxiously waiting for. His first thought was to pay Lily a visit and share with her what he had discovered.
A knock at the door sounded in a small but very accommodating hotel room. Lily sighed only to realize who was on the other side of the door once she opened it, "What do you want, Robert?" she asked as she backed away from the door.
Robert helped his way inside, shutting the door right behind him, "You know when I heard Emma kicked you out, I almost couldn't believe it." he chuckled, "Almost."
"What do you want?" she asked, annoyed this time.
"I'm here to help you." he replied, which caused a raised eyebrow from Lily.
"Help me? Since when are you so interested in helping me?" she asked.
"As it turns out, I have the solution to all your problems." he handed her over a manila colored folder, which Lily quickly opened, eyes growing wide with the information on Daniel.
"This is Greg." she said.
Robert shook his head, "Not Greg. Daniel. Emma's had the man she's hated right under her nose - all this time."
"So, this is the man Regina's been crying over?" she scoffed as she shook her head, eyeing the papers in front of her, "I knew she was just toying with Emma. I knew it - I told her."
"Well, after she finds this out, now she will be all yours." said Robert.
"What are you planning? How exactly do I fit in all this? You know Emma won't see reason when it comes to Regina." replied Lily.
"All you have to do is distract whoever is in charge now, long enough for me to make my way into the house and leave this in her office, where she'll be sure to see it." he instructed as he motioned towards the folder which was still in Lily's hands.
"Why are you doing this?" asked a curious Lily.
"What better way to hurt Emma than with what she loves the most? Once she sees this proof that the man she trusted with her life, the man that she called a friend is really the man she hates, she will be in agony. She will feel betrayed by the woman she kicked you out for. She will be vulnerable." his smirk grew wide, "Who do you think she'll turn to once that happens? You."
That captured Lily's interest. With Emma hurt and feeling betrayed by the love of her life, she will most likely run to the one friend who always kept telling her that she was just being a fool. As for Gold, he just wanted the pleasure of seeing the blonde destroyed, one way or another.
August and Mary Margaret awaited the news. They stood up from the chairs in a small waiting area as soon as Emma and Regina re-appeared in the waiting area.
"So?" spoke August, feeling anxious and excited.
Both women's smiles were instant as Regina gave them the good news, "Doctor said I'm pregnant."
Cheers were heard from Mary Margaret and August, smiles beaming from all four, as August wrapped an arm on each women, as he stood in the middle.
"I knew could do it, Gina!" he cheered her on as he placed a kiss on the brunette's temple. "You know, if it's a boy, August is a good name."
To this Emma laughed, as M. M. looked at her daughter, practically with tears in her eyes at this new found happiness.
"Congratulations, ma'am." said Mary Margaret.
Emma's green eyes lid up with happiness as her smile was there to stay for the rest of the day, "Thank you, Mary." she replied to the older woman's congratulations as she then took her by surprise as she lunged forward, embracing her in a tight hug.
Regina and August smiled in unison as all Mary could do was look over to them, embracing her arms around Emma, as more tears rolled down her eyes. It was the best feeling for her to get to hug her daughter. Even if it wasn't as her mother to Emma's knowledge, but it was still everything she needed at that point.
"I think we should eat out tonight. Celebrate." August suggested as Mary Margaret and Emma parted from their embrace.
"I love that idea." replied Regina as she took her place next to her equally happy wife, who automatically wrapped an arm around her form as Regina wrapped both arms around Emma's.
Emma instantly looked over to her adoring wife, "Where would you like to go?" she asked, giving her the choice of choosing their destination for the night.
Regina's eyes soon lid up as she thought of the one place she'd love to go back to, "Storybrooke. But, before we go there, I'd really love it if we'd visit my father. I just know he will be overjoyed with the news."
"That sounds like a plan." she said as she looked over to August and Mary Margaret, "We could meet up in Storybrooke, Regina and I will head out as soon as we are done visiting her parents."
"Sounds perfect, Em." replied August, as they headed on home to get ready for the rest of their busy day.
While August and Mary Margaret went on to Storybrooke in the SUV, Regina had driven her new car to her parents house. Emma insisted they'd take two cars so she could give her Mercedes a test drive. Regina, of course loved that car.
"Congratulations! This is the most exciting news I have received!" Henry was beaming with excitement with the thought of being a grandfather soon, as he hugged Regina and then Emma and then back to Regina.
"The doctor confirmed it this morning." said Regina who couldn't stop her smile.
Henry Sr. turned to Emma as he pulled her into another tight embrace, "Emma, you must be so happy."
"More than you know, sir." replied the blonde with a smile of her own.
"Happy? They are practically beaming, Henry." Cora's voice was heard as she entered the room, smiling at Regina as she pulled her in for a hug, even as the brunette hugged her back against her will, "Regina, dear, come with me a moment, hm? Now that you are expecting we need to have a mother and daughter talk."
"I'd love to, but we are actually in a rush. We just came by to deliver the good news." replied the brunette.
"Oh, surely you can spare just a minute? I'm sure Emma won't mind." said Cora as she looked over to Emma, "Will you?"
Both Regina and Emma looked over at each other in discomfort, but Regina went ahead as Emma simply nodded. Regina hated being this cold with Cora, after all - she was her mother. But, she's come to learn that the father away she is from her the better. Best to get whatever conversation she wanted to have with her over and done with.
As Cora shut the doors to Henry's study, Regina spoke, "What is this about, mother? You have never had a heart to heart talk with me in your life."
"So, you're pregnant?" asked Cora dryly.
"Yes."
"Smart girl. I can see the game you are playing." Cora chuckled.
"What game? This isn't a game, mother." the brunette's brows furrowed in question towards her mother's words.
"Oh, Regina don't play dumb with me. After everything we've disagreed on, you turned out to be just like me. Although, I must say…" she closed in the very little distance there was between them as she whispered over to her, "Having your wife and your lover under the same roof? That's even new for me, dear." a huge grin spread across her face.
Jefferson. He told her. Of course he did. Jefferson would keep a secret from everyone but not his own mother.
Regina grew furious, "If you are about to say what I think you're going to say-"
"I don't have to say anything, Regina. You got pregnant, you're keeping Emma happy, and that's good. But you better pray Daniel doesn't find out about this baby, because if he does - he will want to claim what's his. And that could cause you a big problem with Emma." replied Cora, cutting off Regina's words.
Regina's eyes grew wide, her anger rising. Did her mother really think that this baby is Daniel's?
The brunette had to mentally countdown from ten, she couldn't afford to have a fight with her mother about this, not while Emma was just outside.
She exhaled deeply to gain her composure, "This is so low, even for you to think. This baby is mine and Emma's. This has nothing to do with Daniel. He hasn't been a part of my heart and thoughts for a long while now."
"I suppose that's why you had him living in your house - right under Emma's nose."
"Goodbye, mother." was all Regina said as she walked out. Laughter was heard coming from Emma and Henry as Regina grabbed a hold of Emma's arm to get her attention, "Can we leave? I don't want to keep August and Mary waiting."
Emma knew when Regina was upset, and she definitely was. She wouldn't want to come out all this way just to leave quickly without spending some time with her father, but the father they were from Cora, the better for her as well - so she didn't fight it.
Emma nodded over to her wife as she gave Henry a pearly white smile, "We have to get going, but we shall get together for dinner soon. You're more than welcome to come by for a visit."
"Thank you, Emma. I'll be sure to take you up on that offer very soon." he smiled as he pulled in Regina for a tight hug goodbye, "Take care of yourself, my darling."
Regina smiled, happy to have seen him as she embraced him, "I will. You take care as well."
She gave him a kiss goodbye on the cheek as her and Emma were out the door and back on the road.
As they made their way towards Storybrooke for the day, silence filled the car. Millions of thoughts crossing Regina's mind. How could this have gotten completely out of hand like this? Why is that even after Daniel left was his name still causing trouble for her? Most importantly, why did Jefferson have to open his big fat mouth about him being there?
Emma's eyes looked over to Regina's olive hands as they rested on the steering wheel, her knuckles practically going white from how tightly she was gripping on.
"What did she say to upset you, Regina?" asked Emma, pulling the brunette away from all those million thoughts.
"Nothing that matters." she quickly shook her head as she smiled over to Emma, "I don't want anything to ruin this beautiful day for us. Let's just have fun."
Again, Emma didn't push further on the subject. They were both happy to receive such wonderful news, they just wanted to celebrate. The blonde simply smiled as she took Regina's right hand from the steering wheel, placing a sweet kiss on her knuckles as their fingers entwined together like a smoothly fitted puzzle piece.
Their drive to Storybrooke was calm. They discussed baby names, and colors for what would become the baby's own room. Pretty much everything they planned was for the future member of their family.
Once in Storybrooke, they met up at the diner, enjoyed a nice lunch with August and Mary Margaret. Emma and August had asked for two beers, as the man stood up, raising his bottle in a toast, "I'd like to propose a toast. To Gina and Emma. May you two always have a lifetime of happiness." he looked over to a smiling brunette, "Honestly, Gina, I can't remember the last time I ever saw Emma smile this much, so thank you." his moved towards Emma, "Emma, I know you will be a terrific mom, and this kid will change your life for the better." he raised his bottle, Cheers to you guys!"
"That was very beautiful." said Mary as he sat back down next to her.
"Thank you, August." spoke Regina, as she looked over at her wife as she smiled.
"I someday wish to have what you two have." said August.
"Enough with the secrecy, Aug, who is she?" asked Emma, eyebrow raised, interested to know who his mystery girlfriend was..
The man instantly shook his head, "That's for me to know and for you to find out." he said, as he quickly changed the topic, "So, have you considered naming the baby after me if its a boy?"
"We were actually talking about it on the drive over here and I would love to name him after my father, if it's a boy." replied Regina, smiling at the thought.
"I think Henry is a beautiful name, ma'am." said the older woman.
Music started playing from the jukebox from the far end of the diner. It had classic tracks. 'Love My Way' was playing, and the blonde was soon dancing where she sat as it was one of her favorite songs. Regina arched a brow as she took notice in her wife's excellent dancing skills. Even sitting down Emma knew how to move her hips to the rhythm of the music.
August stood up, taking the older woman's hand as she shook her head in protest, "Oh, no. I don't dance.
"I'll teach you! Come on." he pulled her out of the booth as they walked away from it.
"You want to dance?" Emma asked Regina, as she noticed the brunette bite down on her lip as she watched her.
"I'm having more fun watching you." the brunette admitted.
Emma stood up from the booth, taking Regina's hand into her own, "Come on, dance with me.." she didn't stop dancing, even on her way to where August and M. M. were, which Regina was certainly enjoying the view she had before her as she joined Emma in her dance.
Emma was happy and she could tell. Truthfully, she had never seen her this happy and she was glad she was. She wanted nothing more but to make the blonde happy. Regina could see how much Emma loved this town, it brought out the best in her. She couldn't wait to move here.
Regina wrapped her arms around Emma's neck as soon as the song changed to a much slower one as she leaned in to place a quick kiss on her lips.
"I'd love for the baby to live here. I really like it here, Emma." said Regina.
"We will bring him or her here. I miss this place myself." replied Emma, "Of course, that's not the only baby I want."
Regina's eyebrow raised, "Why, Ms. Swan, we haven't had this one yet and already you want another?"
"Did you just 'Ms. Swan' me?" she asked as a smirk formed on her lips, her arms holding on tighter to Regina.
"I may have another surprise for you for when we get home." she couldn't help but smirk at the thought. Hoping that Emma would approve of what she had bought the morning she had gone to the clinic, in a moment she managed to get away from Mary Margaret that day.
Emma leaned forward, as she placed a kiss on those red plump lips she would never get tired of kissing, their kiss instantly becoming so full of passion and delicacy, it made Emma feel like she could fly to the moon and back.
The drive back was long, they had made it just in time for dinner, only for Emma to be surprised by Robert sitting in her chair as soon as she walked into her study, right after dinner as Regina went to shower. A smirk formed on his lips as soon as she walked in, his feet propped up on the desk.
"What the hell are you doing here?" the blonde asked.
"I missed this place." he replied sarcastically.
"Get up and get out." she demanded as she pointed towards the door. "You have no business being here anymore."
"You see, that's where you're wrong." the older man replied as he quickly shot up from the chair, holding the manila colored folder in his hands as he began to walk over to the angry blonde standing before him. "I have something important I want to give you."
"I doubt you can have anything that will interest me." replied Emma.
"You're wrong again. When you see what I have discovered, you'll thank me. It's something that's important for you. Something you should know." said Robert as he held out the folder towards Emma.
There was a knock at the door, as August stepped in, eyes shifting between Emma and Robert as he stepped in, "Is everything alright, Em?" he asked, feeling the tension that spread across the room.
"August, please show him out. We're done here." she ordered.
Robert took a step back as he saw August walking towards him, "I can show myself out. I'm leaving. I just wanted you to have this." he said as he placed the folder right on the desk. "Consider it a gift. Someone around here has to be honest with you." his eyes looked over to August as he walked out.
Emma released a sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose, August watched her carefully as his eyes traveled to the folder on her desk, "What's that?"
"I don't know." she walked over to the desk as she picked up the folder in her hands, only to feel it being yanked away from her grasp by August himself, "Hey!" she shouted at him with a smile towards him.
"Seriously, Em? Your wife is upstairs, probably waiting for you to join her and you're thinking about what this guy brought for you? It can wait."
"August-"
"No." he argued as he pulled the folder back as the blonde reached over to try and take it back, "Go. Upstairs. Don't think I don't know when you two give each other that eye-fucking look." he grinned as Emma chuckled lightly, "Better not keep her waiting. This can wait for tomorrow."
Emma smiled as she patted August's arm and walked out without another word. August always knew how to convince her, and he did have a point. Both her and Regina could hardly keep their hands off each other since the moment Regina stepped forward about her feelings. Whenever Regina wanted to be with her, Emma was more than willing. Whenever Emma was the one who persuaded her - Regina was there. Tonight would be no different.
BEGINNING OF M RATED SCENE
As Emma walked into the bedroom, Regina was just coming out of the bathroom, Emma had showered before dinner, so she was already in comfortable sets of clothing. Emma couldn't believe just how lucky she was as she looked at the work of art that stood before her that was Regina.
"You are so beautiful." Emma murmured as she stepped forward, her placing themselves right on the brunette's curves as they worked their way up and back down slowly.
Regina placed her index finger against Emma's eager lips as she was leaning forward, "Before we do anything… open up the top drawer to find your surprise." a smirk appeared on her lips as soon as she saw the blonde's puzzling look as to why she had prevented her from kissing those lips she was very much addicted to.
The blonde walked obediently towards the top drawer, opening it up slowly as she leaned in, removing items of clothing aside, eyes growing wide as she turned to look at her smirking wife. She looked back down as her hands reached inside, taking out a dildo which had already been placed on its straps.
"I was thinking, you could use it on me." said Regina as she walked up to the blonde, taking the strap on from her hands as she placed it over Emma's own area, her eyebrow raising in a pleasing manner at the sight before her, her eyes dark and full of lust as she looked back up at Emma. "I want you to try it on, Ms. Swan." her voice purred this time, making it impossible for Emma to resist.
It was then a grin spread across the blonde's own lips. As much as it surprised Emma that someone as classy as Regina would go into a sex store to buy such an item, it gave her a thrill over the woman she instantly gave into as she made her way into the bathroom, strapping on the newly purchased item.
As she placed it in, strapping it to the level of her comfortness she couldn't help but smirk yet again as she looked down. It was something new and exciting for both. What made it even better was the fact that Regina wanted to share this with only her.
Emma was out of the bathroom, as her eyes soon found an eager brunette sitting by their bed, patiently waiting. She wondered if Regina was a bit nervous, given the look she had before she saw her bite down on her lip at the sight of what was now strapped in between the blonde's legs.
Regina beckoned with her finger, as the blonde immediately stepped forward as if she was being pulled by an invisible string towards her.
Emma knew Regina would be calling all the shots tonight, and that was more than fine with her.
Regina stood, relieving her wife from the only clothing item she had on, which was an old t-shirt she used to sleep in. Olive hands cupping well rounded breasts as her mouth soon put itself to work on a already erected nipple.
Emma's hand quickly finding its home in Regina's hair as she looked down at her as she worked her way to her other nipple. Her eyes closing as she felt Regina's hands travel past Emma's washboard abs, finding their way up to her breasts again.
Regina placed a trail of light kisses up the blonde's chest all the way to her neck, where her lips then parted open, as plump lips massaged Emma's neck with a passionate and wet kiss. Her tongue feeling warm, leaving wet trails wherever it landed.
"Mmm…" Emma hissed as she felt teeth bite down on her most sensitive point, as a tongue brushed over in a matter of seconds, soothing the heated flesh, as the a pale hand cupped Regina's ass, giving it a firm squeeze.
"You make the most beautiful sounds. They make me wet in a matter of seconds." the brunette whispered right into Emma's ear, as another moan escaped the blonde just with her husky words alone.
Emma was so ready, and Regina knew that. She had been ready since she purchased the bulge that she was now feeling pressed up against her sex.
The brunette nipped at Emma's earlobe as she whispered again, "I want you to go slow tonight."
Emma took that as a green light to be able to move, for she picked her up in her arms, as Regina wrapped her legs around her hips, giving Emma more ease to lay her on the bed gently as both naked bodies pressed down together, skin against skin. Lips dancing with each other in the most intimate of slow dances, tongues caressing one another as soft moans were heard from both women.
Regina's hands landed on Emma's back, as they worked they down and back up softly, the tips of her fingers carefully caressing along the scars on her back, as if she were afraid that they'd still hurt.
It was Emma's turn now to kiss a trail down to her wife's jawline, all the way to her neck, she inhaled deeply, taking in Regina's soft, sweet and intoxicating aroma. She had no idea what perfume she used, but it was addicting to breathe in. One sniff and she was lost in her own world of ecstasy.
The room was quiet, only the sounds of lips smacking on skin as Emma kept up with each inch of Regina's neck, and Regina's breaths coming out more and more.
A moan now escaping the brunette as she felt a hot, wet and eager tongue leave a wet trail as it traveled all the way from her neck as it lightly flickered her plump lips.
Dark green eyes soon finding dark brown ones in the midst of darkness.
Regina's hand brushed away strands of blonde hair, tucking it behind Emma's ear. The blonde knew - just by looking into her wife's pleading eyes - she knew that she was ready, for Emma soon looked down, as her hand reached in between them, grabbing a hold of the dildo that had been pressed up against both of them.
Emma's body now lifted, her arm muscles flexing before Regina's very eyes, as a light groan escaped her lips as she felt just the tip of the dildo find its way through her wet, hot folds.
The blonde's green eyes never leaving Regina's as she slowly pushed her hips back in between the brunette's thighs, both releasing a moan against one another's lips in unison, as Emma's hand landed on Regina's own, fingers intertwining together tightly.
"Oh, God… Emma…" Regina murmured, as her lips brushed against Emma's thin ones, feeling herself travel on to that trip of ecstasy the blonde had been in. Her nails instantly digging into Emma's back.
Emma released a low growl as she felt those nails dig into her skin and scrape their way through, it was slower than other times. Her hips kept up their rhythm as they bucked in and out, in and out just as slow as Regina had asked her to go. She was patient, taking her time, taking this moment in, drinking Regina in thrust by thrust. The inside part of the harness rubbing against Emma's own wet, and hardened clit with each movement her hips made.
"You feel so… so good." The blonde moaned, her words in a whisper as her lips ghost over her ear. Her knuckles turning white from squeezing on to the brunette's own hand.
Regina's lips landed on Emma's bare shoulder, leaving a trail of kisses, as her teeth gently bit down, making the blonde hiss in pure pleasure. Regina's legs tightened around Emma's hips, causing her to push in further. Both moaning at the same time once again.
The room was becoming hot, the sheets were warm and damp from their love making. Both women were becoming one, molding into each other's bodies as the hours passed. Emma's hips never speeding up, staying in the same pace as Regina asked her to.
Emma had come to know the brunette's body well enough to know when she was nearing her climax - and she was. They both were. Even Regina was able to know, judging by Emma's sweet sounds of pleasure.
"Mm… come with me, darling." the brunette's voice low, as she demanded for their release.
It was then that Emma wrapped her arms tightly around Regina, pressing her body more on to her, as her hips kept up with this sensual, hard, yet but not rough movement, Emma's hand found its way around Regina's hair as it grabbed a fist full of it, as she released her orgasm. "Oh, Regina!" her other hand gripping on tightly on to the bed sheets.
"Em-ma… oh!" Regina's own hands cupped the blonde's ass, while the other pulled on blonde locks. Both orgasms hitting the air in a whisper for only each other to hear.
Both lips finding each other in the darkness in a sealing passionate and intimate kiss, as hands soothed sore and exhausted muscles, drawing maps over each other's bodies. Heavy breathing being exchanged in between kisses, as Emma's hips slowed down the rhythm to a stop.
The blonde's lips parted from swollen plump ones, as they kissed their way to a perfectly marked jawline, "I love you." she murmured in a low, breathless voice into the brunette's ear.
"I love you too. Always." she whispered back, as her hands cupped Emma's face, pulling her back down, as hungry lips found hers again in a kiss.
It had been a night filled with magic. It went on for hours, as they went at it again and again until their bodies just gave out from exhaustion. Eventually Emma ridded herself of the strap on, as it fell to the side of the bed, landing on the hardwood floor. Both remained wrapped up in each other's arms all night long, whispering words of love to one another.
This moment and every moment with Emma, had become everything Regina wanted and so much more.
END OF M RATED SCENE
Emma opened her eyes that morning as the sunlight hit her face, announcing a bright and brand new day. She felt her muscles ache with the first movement she made, a smile spreading across her lips at the mere memories of the previous night she and Regina shared. As her arm stretched out to Regina's side, hoping to embrace the very same woman that had surprised her the night before.
She was surprised as all her hand felt was a piece of a paper that had been placed right on Regina's pillow, her eyes fully awake now as it read a note which contained the brunette's beautiful cursive writing letting her know that she had gone out with Mary Margaret to buy her first ever baby items.
This made Emma's smile grow wider as she shook her head. She didn't mind being left behind, she knew how eager Regina was to start buying baby items. She didn't blame her. The very thought of Regina coming home with gifts for their unborn child made her heart race. She couldn't wait to see what she picked out.
Emma remained in bed for a while longer, as she moved to Regina's side of the bed, taking in that sweet scent of what was left of her perfume, mixed with the scent you get after you just finished having a night full of blissful and passionate sex.
It didn't take her long enough to get dressed, and make her way down the stairs into the dining area where August was already helping himself to some freshly made breakfast.
"Well, look at you. By the look on your face, it looks as if you got it just as good as you gave it." said August, as a grin spread across his face.
"Shut up." Emma chuckled as she served herself some breakfast, taking her seat at the table next to him.
"Where's Gina?" he asked, as he saw no signs of the brunette.
"She left early with Mary, she's been wanting to buy some things before the baby is born." replied the blodne as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Why didn't you go?" he asked, stabbing a piece of pancakes with his fork.
"I have a lot of work to do today. Besides, she was really looking forward to sharing this with Mary. There will be plenty of time for me to go with her." Emma assured as she smiled at the thought. She had never gone shopping for a baby before, it was an exciting feeling she was definitely looking forward to.
"Em, has anyone ever told you that you work way too hard?" he said as he took a sip of his coffee.
"I'm already planning a vacation as soon as the baby is born." she assured him.
They continued with their breakfast, deep in conversation about things that needed to be done around the ranch for that day. As soon as Emma was done, she shot up off her seat along with August as they headed right into her office.
August took a seat in his usual chair as Emma sat across from him, both their eyes landing on the manila folder that was still waiting to be read on her desk.
"I completely forgot all about that." said Emma, as she took the folder in her hands.
"Are you going to see what's inside?" August asked, eyeing the folder, feeling curious himself.
Whatever it was, Emma knew that coming from Robert Gold, it couldn't be good. Maybe it was something made up just to make her lose her time. But, she had to admit her curiosity was getting the better of her. Even if it was just a waste of time - she needed to know what its contents were.
So, she opened it…
Her eyes moving quickly across the pages as they scanned in all of their information.
Her brows furrowed as she scanned through the pages, coming face to face with a photo of Greg - only it wasn't Greg. His name was actually Daniel. Emma was in shock. She couldn't believe what she was staring at, what she was reading. Before her was all of Daniel's information, as long as information on the real man who's name was actually Greg. It held information on the man's family, which Daniel never mentioned he had when he was here.
Here… under her same roof… with Regina.
Her chest was rising with each breath, as she grew angry at the realization. Now it all made sense. That story Daniel told her on loving someone who married someone else. Regina's sudden mood changes around him, while Emma was in the same room. Everything. It added up.
How could she had been so stupid? How could she had been so easily fooled and worse, trust him - him of all people? How could she had been so naive as to believe in everything Regina told her.
"What is it, Em? Bad news?" August asked, as he saw the drastic change the blonde took. She had gone from being uncontrollably happy to… there was no words to describe how angry Emma was at this very moment.
Papers crumbled in her hands as tears ran straight down her eyes, anger growing more and more within her.
Hurt. Betrayed. Cheated. Fooled. Those were just words compared to how she was feeling now.
"Emma?" August asked once again, as all Emma did was shove the papers across her desk as she stood up, serving herself a drink, finishing it in one swift motion. August's eyes grew wide in surprise as he looked over at Emma, "Shit." was all he could say.
"You know about this forging stuff better than anyone. You were really good at forging signatures once upon a time ago. Tell me, please tell me those aren't real." Emma finally spoke, awaiting the answer she knew would never come.
August could feel what was coming if he told her the truth. Because he knew, just by glancing at the papers, he knew they were the real deal.
"August!" Emma shouted as she pleaded for an answer.
"Emma…" he shook his head, as his own color drained from his face, "They're very real." he murmured.
"Fuck!" a glass was heard being shattered as it flew across the room and slammed against the wall, making August jump up in the process. He had never seen Emma this angry before. It was a side he was just getting to see up front.
He stood up from his chair, papers still in hand, "Emma, calm down. This has to be a mistake."
"What mistake?! You just said they are real!" she shouted.
"Emma, calm down! Regina loves you! You know that, she would never-!"
Emma wasn't believing anything anymore. How could she? The proof was right in front of her.
August's words were cut off by the blonde's just as quickly, "Don't! Don't you dare say it! She tried to leave me once."
"That was before, Emma. You said so yourself, things changed." August reminded her, but unfortunately there was no getting through to her.
"What fucking changed?! They got worse, August! All this time…" tears found their way down once again, "All this time he was here. I gave him a roof, I gave him food… I considered him a friend! And he…" she grew angrier just at the mere thought that was going through her head in that very moment. She couldn't voice it. The very thought that him and Regina sneaked around behind her back angered her to the core, "He and Regina just laughed at me!"
"Emma, listen to yourself! She got herself pregnant for you!" he reminded her, growing inpatient. He had no idea she could be this stubborn when angry. He couldn't say he blamed her, he couldn't even understand how this happened, but he knew Regina. With the time he had spent there, he came to know her well and she knew she loved Emma.
"August…" she spoke, saying the one thing she could think of, not wanting to blow up at him when this wasn't even his fault, "Get out."
"What?" he asked with shock in his voice.
"Get. Out." she repeated in a dry and cold tone.
"Emma, this isn't you, you need to seriously think about this."
"I said get out! Leave me alone!" she shouted.
That made August back down, he could practically see the vein in her forehead ready to pop at any given moment and he really didn't want to be around for that.
And Regina… he then thought, it would be wise for him to wait for her elsewhere, to warn her about what just happened.
He turned to look at the blonde before leaving, "Think about it, Emma. Those papers might be real, but just remember who brought them to you. And, I know Regina… she wouldn't do this. There has to be an explanation."
As soon as the door shut before Emma, she couldn't help but to destroy everything in sight. Glass was being shattered as she slammed the rest of the glasses against the wall, the liquor bottle was shattered on to the floor, as her fist slammed onto the desk. She was breathless and crying by the end of it all as her body just gave out - landing on the chair by her desk, head resting on top of it as she cried her eyes out for the rest of that morning.
