A/N: I thank you all for your lovely patience. I promise, I reward you highly with this chapter as a thank you. Enjoy! :) I hope I did not disappoint.
The morning after was glorious. Emma still felt like she was in one of her many dreams where she and Regina would wake up just like this. Wrapped up in each other's arms as their eyes slowly opened, only to find one another was still there. Sure, it wasn't in their own home, but all that would change soon. Henry had been moved into what used to be Jefferson's bedroom for the night.
Emma's eyes were the first to open, a smile appearing on her face as they fell upon her loving wife who was still sleeping. My God, could she stare at her all day while she slept. It was one of Emma's favorite things to do that she so had missed. Her lips were gentle in capturing Regina's own with hers in a soft but well given kiss. The brunette was quick to return it, as that was one of her favorite ways Emma could possibly wake her each morning. Boy, had she miss it.
Regina pressed her lips more to Emma's, her body quickly finding its place on top of her wife's as Emma's arms were quick to wrap around her form as their kiss only deepend.
"As much as I would love for this to continue, I don't think we should." Emma mumbled against her wife's lips.
Regina couldn't help but smile, still exchanging kisses because there was no way she wanted to stop, "You're right. But, if I couldn't stop kissing you before, I can't possibly stop now."
Emma couldn't help to laugh softly and even that was just as beautiful to Regina, but just as their kiss once again was about to deepen, both women sat up as they heard the door handle rattle as their heads turned towards a quickly opening door, followed by an all too excited Henry.
"Breakfast is ready!" Henry shouted as he jumped into the bed in between both his mother's.
"Breakfast is ready? My goodness, I've never seen anyone so excited about breakfast before!" Regina playfully answered, her eyes quickly looking at Emma, "Except for your mom, of course."
"Hey, breakfast is the most important meal of the day." replied the blonde.
"That's very true." Regina agreed, smirking at Emma.
"Then, you have to get up! We have to have breakfast. You know grandma doesn't like to be kept waiting, mama." said Henry as he jumped off the bed.
"Right you are, Henry. Go save us a seat at the table, we'll be right down."
Henry ran off to do as he was told, leaving both women alone once again.
"Be sure to call your mother and David later, we'll need all the help we can get with moving our things to our new home in Storybrooke." Regina told Emma as she played with a strand of blonde hair.
"I'll go pick them up, I'll take the kid with me." replied Emma.
As both were about to share another kiss, the doorbell rang and they could hear stomping coming from downstairs from a pair of small feet as they rushed to undoubtedly answer the door, followed by different stomping that belonged to Cora as she tried keeping up with the energetic boy.
"Hi, Daniel!" he yelled, as both women on the second floor stared at each other in silence. Emma's eyes turning a darker shade of green at the sound of the man's voice.
"Go. I'll be down in a minute." said Emma.
Regina's eyes filled with worry, "Emma-"
"We can't keep him in the dark about my coming back any longer, Regina. Go." the blonde cut in, already making up her mind to show her face to the man who had lied to them both. Regina knew there was nothing else she could do to convince her from doing otherwise. She did promise her to give it a day and then they would deal with the issue together. With it being a new morning, it was time to keep her promise.
"Very well. Just let me get Henry out of the house first, then you can come down."
Emma nodded in agreement, placing another kiss on the brunette's lips before allowing her to exit the room. The blonde released a deep sigh as she thought things through, she didn't want to cause a scene, especially not in a home that wasn't their own, but whatever was about to happen as soon Daniel saw her stepping down from that staircase, he had it coming to him. She had held her tongue long enough for the man to spare her wife any pleasantries. As far as she was concerned, any respect or even, dare she say, admiration she had ever felt for the man was now gone. She was back and willing more than ever to fight for her family.
"But, I'm hungry." Henry whined as soon as his mother told him to step out in the backyard with his grandparents.
"We will have breakfast, but Daniel and I need to talk about something first. Do as I say, please." she ordered the boy.
"Are you going to be alright, dear?" Cora asked her daughter, Regina seeing worry for the first time in her mother's eyes. She sure had redeemed herself throughout the years.
Regina nodded, "We'll be fine."
Henry Sr. threw a hard glare Daniel's way, as he looked down at his grandson with a most heart warming smile, "Come on along, Henry! I have an idea, what do you say you show me how good you play soccer again?"
"Yeah!" Henry exclaimed, running outside excitedly as both his grandparents followed him, shutting the back door to prevent the boy from hearing any shouting if there would be any.
"Is everything alright? Why is everyone acting so weird?" Daniel asked, his face puzzled as to why they were left completely alone (so, he thought).
Regina couldn't speak, she honestly didn't know how to start with the amount of questions she had to ask him. So, she did the next best thing she could think of, she stepped up to the man, slapping him hard across the face, the echo in the room was loud enough, she was thankfully her parents had closed the back door.
Daniel's face turned to the side, head and all as his hand caressed his cheek silently, slowly turning back around facing a now angry Regina. He honestly had never seen her this angry before, not to the point where her eyes were fully black. He was even more surprised as Regina's hand came up, meeting his other cheek with another hard earned slap across his face.
By this point, her lip was quivering with anger, "How the hell did you dare to look me in the eye for three years, making believe that my wife was dead?!"
Daniel's hand was still placed on the side of his face of the last slap Regina gave him, "What are you talking about, Regina?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about! Emma! She's alive, Daniel. She's always been alive. Of course, you knew that, didn't you?" the brunette spoke through clenched teeth.
"I didn't lie to you! I don't know what you're talking about! Please, calm down." replied Daniel. How the hell did she find out? He wondered. Especially when no one but him knew that Emma was in fact alive.
"Look, let's just calm down and we'll talk, alright?"
Regina backed away from his reach, "Don't you dare touch me."
"Regina. I swear to you on the love I've always had for you that Emma is dead. You have to believe me." Daniel replied.
"I wouldn't swear on that." Daniel's eyes grew wide as he saw no other than Emma herself walking down the steps, her eyes never leaving his, "If that's true, and I am in fact dead, then I must be a ghost. Judging from your white complection, I think I might be."
"Emma?" he mumbled her name, his eyes burning holes through the blonde herself, "You're alive?"
The next thing Daniel saw coming was a right hook delivered right near his eye, just above his cheek bone. Not a slap, but a hard given punch. That he was not expecting, surprising to him it hurt. A lot. And, why shouldn't it? Emma was beyond pissed and intended to get her point across. In fact, her punch was harder than Daniel expected, it actually knocked him back on the floor.
Regina held her wife back, as the blonde shook her hand from the punch she had just given him. Her hand would undoubtedly be hurting later, but it was worth it. She had been waiting to do that since the first time she found who the man was, honestly.
Daniel grunted as he stood up, now chuckling as his eyes once again found Emma's, "Out of respect for Regina, I'll let you have that one for free. You come at me again, and I'll have you locked up, I swear to God."
"You got off easy compared to what I actually wanted to do to you." Emma said through clenched teeth. "I missed three years with my family because of you."
"Oh, that's more than what you took from me. I spent more years suffering over Regina falling into your trap." he rubbed his face once again, which was starting to hurt more and more each minute that passed by.
"You don't even know what the hell you're talking about, Daniel." the brunette's brows furrowed at the man's sudden change in attitude.
"She took you from me! Isn't that enough reason for me to hate her? To have lied? Had she stayed away, I could have gained your love. I could have been a father to Henry." he said, his eyes shifting back to the blonde, who's eyes never left him.
"She was never yours and you know it!" Emma shouted.
"She was mine!" Daniel shouted as he took a step forward only to be pushed back by the blonde.
"Stop!" Regina shouted as she held on to Emma, moving her back so Daniel wouldn't hurt her. She had no doubt that Emma could handle herself if needed be, but Daniel was now chief of police and that would not end well for her.
"She was mine until you came along and you know it." Daniel kept on challenging.
"Emma, don't listen. He's just trying to get a rise out of you." Regina spoke to her wife in a more calming manner, as she kept holding on to her.
Daniel chuckled, "You see, Emma. Even Regina knows you stand no chance against me."
"Shut up, Daniel! Get out of here, I never want to see you again." Regina pointed towards the front door as she kept holding on to the blonde.
Daniel's expression towards Regina was that of surprise, as if he hadn't known that her heart had still belonged to Emma. Clearly he was still living in the past of things, before she came along, "You're seriously going to take her side? After she and your mother forced you to marry her and you were forced to live with her?"
"She's my wife, of course I'm going to take her side. You lied to me." Regina shot out without a second thought.
"I lied to you? What about when you lied to her?" he scoffed, his eyes falling upon Emma again, "Did she ever tell you about all the times we kissed while I was working for you and how we both would lie to you after we would lie to your face?"
Regina's vein was about to burst at his lying, "What on earth is wrong with you? Quit lying!"
"Am I?" his eyes went back to Emma, "We planned to leave once, did she tell you that? We were going to flee during the night while you were sleeping."
"And, to think I once considered you my friend. I honestly respected you, Daniel and all your hard work you showed me, but now…" Emma's lip twitched with anger, "I feel sorry for you, I really do."
Daniel scoffed, "Oh, come on, Emma. You hated me the minute you found who I was, you wanted to kill me. Don't deny it. You threw Regina out while she was pregnant without caring about a single thing."
"That was a mistake I've longed paid for. Now, leave. Whatever ounce of friendship I felt towards you is long gone."
"I'm not interested in being your friend. The only reason I've been around is for Regina and Henry, who's grown to love me." Daniel replied, hatred now displaying in his eyes towards the blonde.
"Well, you don't need to be here anymore, because nor Henry nor I need you." Regina wrapped her arms around Emma's frame as the blonde wrapped an arm around the brunette's waist.
Daniel shook his head, "You're the love of my life, Regina. You promised me you'd love me forever and you will honor that promise."
Emma then released Regina as she took a step forward, her eyes a darker green, "You come near her again, if I know that you so much as look at her-"
"You'll what?" Daniel took a step forward, wanting to stare her down, challenging her, "Sounds to me like you're about to make a threat against my life. I'd be careful if I were you. You wouldn't want to leave Regina all along again, would you?"
"Emma, please…" Regina pleaded as she held on to her wife's hand, trying to get her to step down from their confrontation.
"Get the hell out of here." Emma shot under her breath, her fist closing into a tight fist, resisting the urge to punch him once again. She had a go at him, and from what she had heard earlier, Regina had given him two hard slaps that made her own hand hurt just by listening. That was enough.
For now.
Daniel smirked, feeling triumphant in a way, even though he had been caught. If Emma wanted another go at him, she knew where to find him and he could always lock her up if she so much as hit him again. He was confident about that at least.
"I'll be seeing you around, Regina." his eyes focusing on Emma.
"Don't count on it." replied the brunette.
There, Daniel's eyes moved to look at Regina, ignoring Emma completely, "Never say never."
He walked towards the door, but turned right back as he stared at both women standing before him, "I don't supposed now would be a good time to ask for a goodbye kiss? You know, like the one you gave me the other night I walked you here."
Emma walked forward as Daniel left the house, slamming the door shut behind him, a smirk displayed on his face. While Regina held Emma back.
"Emma." olive hands held the blonde's face as she forced her to turn her attention back to her, looking right into her green eyes, hoping they would soon return to their natural green color, "Emma. He's gone. He's gone, we won't have to see him again."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Emma replied, her eyes focused on Regina's very own.
"We'll deal with him together, if we have to. But, nor him or anyone will tear us apart, ever again. I can promise you that." the brunette replied, her lips coming in contact with pink thin ones as she peppered in a few kisses.
It didn't take Emma long to calm down and respond to each and every one of those given kisses. That's one of the many affects Regina had on her, she could calm a storm if it came through the house. Of that she was sure. The blonde's forehead rested against her wife's, their eyes closing for a short moment. All the love they have ever felt for one another pouring out of their pours in that very moment.
Regina felt as Emma relaxed in her arms, all the anger they both had felt had vanished, so she broke the silence they had lingered in for a while, "You didn't believe him, did you?" her eyes looked into Emma's as their foreheads parted, "I never once tried leaving with him, he kissed me once but I was already in love with you, I didn't respond-"
Emma's lips came crashing down on Regina's, shutting her up before she could even continue talking, her hand came up resting upon the brunette's jawline as the kiss slowly parted.
"I don't have any reason to doubt anything you have to say anymore." Regina couldn't help but smile at Emma's words, "You're right. Nothing nor no one will ever separate us, ever again."
It had been a busy morning after breakfast. The whole incident they had encountered with Daniel had now vanished from their thoughts. Right now it was about the excitement about moving into their new home. The whole town of Storybrooke were delighted and curious about their new neighbors that would now be occupying the big mansion on 108 Mifflin St.
With Mary Margaret, David, Graham and Kathryn's help, they were getting things done rather quickly. Even Henry would help occasionally, (with lighter things, of course, mostly bringing in his toys one by one). From what they decided upon, the bedrooms were a good color, only room that needed a new color was the living room, which they got right on to painting after a while.
Between all four of them, the painting of the wall in a white color had gone fast. Even Henry helped out, but with a small brush that only he could use. Emma would be sure to fill in his missing spots.
Henry looked up at his mom Emma, a big smile on his face, "I did good, mommy?"
Emma looked over at the wall, smiling back at her son, "You did really good."
"You did much better than your mom, Henry." teased Regina as she was looking over the last spot of wall they had just painted.
Emma turned to look over at her wife, mouth dropped open, a hand on her hip, "Excuse me?"
Regina smirked, looking over at the wall again, pointing at a small spot she would of course see, "You missed a spot."
Emma looked over at the wall, eyebrow raised as her eyes began to scan over Regina's body, they all had been wearing old clothes that had some paint stains on them, "You seemed to have missed a spot too."
Regina began backing away, knowing exactly what that smirk on Emma's face meant, "Don't."
Emma turned to Henry as she began walking towards her wife, "Henry, your mom's missed a spot just there." she motioned towards her jeans.
The paper that was placed on the floors so paint wouldn't drip on bare tile sounded as Regina began to move backward and Emma forwards with a paint brush freshly coated with white paint. Even Henry had a devilish smirk on his face as he was holding out his little brush.
"Emma Swan. Don't you dare." warned the brunette, shooting a deathly glare over at her, but she couldn't help to smirk seeing how cute both mother and son looked, coming at her with their paint brushes ready to smear.
"Emma, no!" before Regina could make a run for it, she laughed as she felt Emma's arms embrace her in a tight hold, "Emma, stop encouraging him!"
"Get her, Henry!" Emma shouted, as Henry began smearing smearing his little brush on his mother's bottom, right on her jeans. All three laughing together. It wasn't long before Regina was able to take Emma's brush away from her hand as she too smeared white paint on the blonde's cheek, almost near her lips as she lifted up her hand, it took some doing given the angle she was being held, but her triumphant smirk spoke for itself as she was released, Emma looking at her with wide eyes.
"I'm gonna get you for that." said Emma, a warning glare in her eyes.
Regina knew well what Emma was thinking in that moment as she began to back away from her wife, her arms up in defense, "Oh, no."
"Oh, yeah. Come here." the blonde once again moved forward, as Henry stood there watching with a grin on his face.
"You stay away from me." Regina warned, a smirk on her face, her legs almost running into a bucket of pain as she wasn't looking where she was going.
"Come here, give me a kiss." Emma ran towards the brunette, who shriek after being caught by her once again, her arms holding on tightly onto her form, "I just want a kiss!"
"I don't want to kiss you right now!" Regina laughed, trying her best to push the blonde away, being too late for Emma was already rubbing the paint she had on her cheek on Regina's own skin.
Emma was quick to pepper kisses on the brunette's lips as she laughed along, holding her wife closer than ever. She was honestly the most happy she had been in a long time. Literally. Both women feeling complete in their little moment of happiness, feeling like this happiness had been long gone.
As Mary Margaret, along with David, Graham and Kathryn walked back inside the new house, not even their chatter was able to break up the lovable moment the two women were sharing. They both just turned to look at every person inside with pearly white smiles.
"Emma, someone has come a long way to see you." said Mary Margaret as she stepped aside from the door, a huge smile on her face.
Emma's face lid up as she saw who was walking through the door.
"Dear, God… Emma." Father Gabriel's eyes watered, tears making their way down instantaneously, his arms outstretched towards the blonde as they met halfway across the room, his laughter echoing as he embraced her in his arms. "How in God's name are you even alive?"
"I've been asking myself that question every single day, father." Emma smiled, resting her hands on the man's shoulders. "Look at you. You don't look a day old."
Gabriel chuckled, "Don't do me any favors by lying to me now. I'm older and more tired each day."
Emma shook her head, "You look good."
"So do you." he replied.
Heads turned as two other people appeared by the door, as they rushed inside.
"Sorry, we got here as fast as we could-" Ruby's words caught in her throat, her eyes wide as a smile appeared before her. "Emma!" She was quick to throw herself in the blonde's arms, causing her to release a grunt along with a chuckle of her own. "Word got around that you had returned. Small town and all."
The blonde smiled at the brunette as she looked over at August who was now entering the house, "Well, it looks like we are going to have a full house today."
August didn't care to cry as he just walked up to Emma and hugged her as tightly as he had when he first had seen her after years.
"He took the news of your death really hard." Ruby told Emma as the blonde just turned to look at her, as August gave no sign of releasing her any time soon. The brunette caressed August's back, "Alright, let her breathe, will you? There will be plenty of time for hugs."
August wiped his tears as he looked at Emma, finally releasing her from his bear hug, "It's so good to see you, Em."
"It's good to see you too, August. I missed you." replied Emma as she patted the man's arm.
"I hope we aren't imposing." Henry Sr. said as he and Cora walked inside with two platters of home made meals.
Regina smiled as she walked up to her father, taking the platter from him, "You could never impose. But, you shouldn't be carrying anything heavy." she glared at him.
"Oh, come on. A food of platter isn't going to kill me. It's going to take more than that." Henry Sr joked.
With the house filled with people, Henry was having a ball, running around a house that was still half empty. He was the first one to cling to Regina, as he was becoming hungry just with the smell of food alone.
"Well, it looks like someone is ready to eat, so, let's all step into the dining room, shall we?" said Regina.
"You may want to wash up, dear." Cora tapped her own cheek, indicating Regina about the smudge of paint she had been sporting on her face from earlier.
"You can blame my wife for that." everyone laughed at the sight of Emma who was already picking at the platter Regina was holding, "Emma, I'd expect that sort of behavior from Henry."
The blonde stared at Regina with an almost pleading look, still chewing what she had placed in her mouth, "I'm hungry."
Mary Margaret pulled Emma aside, lightly pushing her towards the dining area, "Let's go, you can help me serve."
"Me too?" asked Henry as he ran right behind them.
"Of course you can, kid." said Emma, smiling down at her son. It wasn't long before everyone was following them into the dining room as eyes scanned the whole house. It wasn't bigger than the one they owned back at the ranch, but it was their home and it was going to be an even happier one.
Once everyone was settled into the dining area, Emma couldn't help but sit quietly as her eyes scanned through every single face that was sitting down, enjoying a nice dinner with them. Her family. Her life was fully complete once again and she honestly couldn't ask for anything better than what she had right now.
Everyone helped with a little more around the new house, they had brought in the big furniture and beds. That was more needed right now than the rest of the smaller items that would decor the house much later to bring it more to life. Henry had been passed out much sooner than his bedtime hour, so Emma carried him up to his new bedroom as she tucked him to sleep. Given that he was now deep in slumber, she'd owe him two bed time stories for the next night. Once everyone left for the night, happy as can be to have Emma back into their lives, the house grew quiet.
"We can't possibly keep living with you. It's not that we don't want too, but you and Regina really need your privacy." Mary Margaret told Emma as they sat on the couch, along with Regina. David being absent as he was already sleeping in a guest bedroom.
"You give us all the privacy we need, mom." said Emma. She had missed so much years with her mother, including the three she was away, that she wanted to keep her around a little bit more. She felt kind of childish, but Mary Margaret well understood.
"You know, you two can keep staying here as long as you need to." said Regina with a warm smile.
Mary Margaret smiled over at the brunette, "Thank you, Regina. We know, but this is a small town and we will be just down the street. David and I have been looking at some houses. They are big enough for us both and you could always come visit, we'll come visit. Henry could stay with us whenever you two need some time for yourselves. It all works out!" her smile grew bigger, Emma couldn't help to smile herself, placing her hand on top of her mother's.
"You really want to do this?" asked Emma, feeling happy that her mother was happy and she had finally found true happiness with a good man. If she honestly had to choose someone for her own mother, she would choose David in a heartbeat.
Mary Margaret nodded, a smile on her lips, "We really do."
Emma stood up, smiling, not letting go of her mother's hand as she stood her up, embracing her in her arms. To hug her again felt just like home, warm and loving. To Mary Margaret? It felt like she had never left her daughter, no matter the lost time.
"I'm happy for you, mom. David's a good man. He really loves you." Mary Margaret's eyes began to water as she saw the look of happiness in Emma's eyes, "After all your suffering, you deserve to finally be happy with someone."
"So do you, Emma." the older woman's hand caressed the blonde's cheek, soon taking Regina's hand in her own as she placed both their hands together, "Regina is a wonderful woman, a wonderful mother to Henry. She's all I ever would have wanted for you."
"Thank you, Mary." the brunette's voice broke with emotion as she looked away while wiping away an unfallen tear, smiling as she turned back to them, "We should all get to bed. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow and Emma has to meet up with Graham to check up on the factories, and I have work with Kathryn."
"You're right. We should all get to bed." said Mary Margaret as she began to head upstairs as both women followed.
Both women were cuddled in bed, Emma's head resting upon the brunette's stomach as Regina's fingers brushed their way through the blonde's hair, her nails gently scraping at her scalp.
"You made a good choice moving here. It was time for a change. I know Henry will love it here." Emma whispered, her hand caressing Regina's other arm that laid beside her.
"He already does." the brunette chuckled, "Just the other day, he asked me if he could have a baby brother to play with."
Emma's head popped up, her eyes wide, staring at her wife in surprise at the unexpected turn this conversation had taken, "He said that?"
Regina nodded, "Mhm, or a little sister. He just wants someone to play with, other than an adult." her hand never stopped caressing its way through blonde curls, "I told him we would have to discuss it first."
"Would you want another baby with me?" asked Emma, her heart suddenly beating its way out of her chest. Even though, the answer was obvious, she was nervous about what it might be.
Regina's eyes locked on to Emma's, a small smile showing up on her lips, "Well, we'd have to discuss it first." she joked, giving her wife the same answer she had given her son.
Emma sat up, as did Regina, leaning back against the headboard of their bed, "What do you think we're doing?"
Regina couldn't help to smile seeing how Emma's eyes actually lid up, they lid up the exact same way they had when she gave her the news of being pregnant with Henry, "You would have a baby with me right now?"
"I'd have as many as you'd want to have." the blonde smiled, their hands and fingers intertwined.
"Emma. I'd love nothing more than to carry another baby for you, for us. And, I'm not saying no, but I do think we need to wait, at least until we are well settled in here and… things die down a little bit with Daniel."
Emma knew Regina had a point. A good one at that. Because even they knew that it didn't matter that Emma was back and home where she rightfully belonged. Daniel wouldn't stop trying to get a chance to talk to Regina, things would need to die down. With Daniel's sudden change of behavior, she couldn't be too sure what the man would be capable of now and even though they have remained in the shadows for years- she knew Gold and Lily were still out there.
"You're absolutely right. News is traveling fast of me being back here, and with us being in a small town now, it's going to go even faster." replied Emma.
"You're worrying about Robert?" by now, Regina knew every look in her wife's eyes, "Emma, I think he-"
"I know." Emma nodded, suspecting the same thing, that he was the one responsible for her incident, "I think so too. But, until there's a way to prove it, I can't just go to the police about it." she chuckled, "Especially now that Daniel is head of that department in the city."
Regina sighed, "I know."
"We'll figure it out." Emma smiled, "We always do."
"If he was responsible for your accident, then he could try to hurt you again." Regina shook her head at the grimm thought, "Emma, I couldn't bare it anymore if anything else happened to you."
Emma was quick to capture her wife's lips in a kiss, her hand resting upon her cheek as their lips parted, eyes looking into one another, "Nothing is going to happen. If I know the first thing there is to know about him, is that he's a coward. And, being in a small town now, it'll be harder for him to try anything against me."
"I'd still feel much safer if you didn't go alone into the city tomorrow." she leaned in more into Emma's touch as her lips kissed at her palm.
"If it will make you feel better, I'll have David come with me." said Emma.
Regina smiled, "It would make me feel a whole lot better. Thank you."
"Thank you for loving me." the blonde sighed as she looked at her still empty matrimonial finger, her eyes following their hands as Regina reached to take her hand into her own.
"It could have been worse, Emma. You could have died." said Regina.
Green eyes looked down at Regina's ring, "You never took yours off, even after you thought I was dead." it wasn't a question, but saying it out loud made her eyes water.
"I could never take it off. Having this on me was as if I had a part of you with me for the past three years." replied Regina, a smirk soon appearing on her lips, "You know… just because we aren't having a new baby just yet, it doesn't mean…" she slowly began straddling the blonde's lap, her hands already tangling in blonde hair, "That we can't put it into practice."
M RATED SCENE
Emma smiled as her hands rested upon her brunette's wife's sides, her eyes closed as she felt Regina's plump lips soon come in contact with her own, both sets of lips already melting as one as Emma's hands caressed the brunette's sides as she felt Regina's own hands caress her back. The brunette's perfectly manicured nails scraping their way down the blonde's back, which sent chills throughout Emma's entire body, sending them straight to her already throbbing, heated center.
Even after all this time, both women couldn't get enough of each other. Now more than ever, they needed to feel each other as one, that love that grew only more and more as time passed them by.
Emma's fingers were quick in working the buttons on Regina's silk pajama top as the flaps parted opened, exposing a view that Emma already had memorized all too well. Regina's hips grinded as both centers rubbed against one another with her slow movements as she felt her wife's lips kiss every single part of skin on her neck. Her head leaned back as her eyes remained closed, biting her lip, trying to keep the moan that escaped her to a minimum given that they weren't completely alone in the house.
Her hands grabbed a fist full of blonde hair as another moan escaped her as she heard Emma release a soft moan of her own, her wife's hot breathe giving her even more reasons to grind her hips more onto her. Regina's next moan coming out a little louder, but still kept to a minimum as she then felt Emma's hands grab a firm hold of her breasts, her thumbs caressing already hardened peaks as her tongue came in contact with her neck. Teeth lightly biting down on the exact same wet spot on her neck as her tongue soothed the area again.
Regina pulled at Emma's hair, forcing her to part her attention from her neck as she was met with a lustful pair of green eyes, smirks appearing on both their faces. Regina's eyes just as lustful as Emma's.
"I love you, Emma. I always will." Regina whispered as she looked down at the blonde.
"I love you too. Always." said Emma, her thumb softly caressing the scar above her wife's lip, pulling her back down as their lips crashed together hard on one another. Their kiss deepening just as fast as Emma's hands removed the top of Regina's pajamas as it pooled by the floor, near the bed. The blonde lifted up her arms as Regina removed her t-shirt, quickly putting all her weight on her, as Emma laid back on to the bed as Regina's body molded on top of her.
Emma's hands felt their way down the brunette's body, coming to a stop as they rested upon her ass. A low humming sound sounded off from the brunette, Emma could have sworn it was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard her wife make. Next to the many moans she would have her making that night, of course. Regina wanted the all the control over their first round that night, and Emma was more than fine with that.
Both their pajama pants were off before either one of them knew it as Regina returned to her straddling Emma's hips, sitting her sex right on her very own, both soon soaked in each other's wetness. Emma couldn't help to release a moan as her eyes closed as she took in the sensation of her wife's movements as Regina all but rode her.
"Mmm, Regina…" Emma bit her lip as her own hips began grinding up, no longer being able to resist the urge, as they swiftly followed every movement Regina made with her own hips. Her hands holding on firmly on to the brunette's thighs as they moved up her waist.
Regina moaned as she then felt how hard Emma's own nails dug into her skin that was now exposed for the blonde's hands to feast upon. And, did they ever. Looking up at Regina as she was being ridden with no signs of bringing all her ecstacy to a stop, that was the most beautiful sight of Regina, seeing all that pleasure come out of her as she gave her her all in that entire moment. It amazed her how much that sight alone could turn her on in a matter of seconds. Her hands moved up the brunette's frame slowly, her hands drinking in every bit of skin as they soon came in contact with two perfectly rounded breasts. A moan escaping her as she heard Regina moan as well from her touch alone. The way Emma's hands would touch her could give her an orgasm then and there, the love Emma felt for her was more than clear through her touch alone.
The brunette's movements became hard and even more passionate, but they remained just as slow as she felt how her wife's hands began to gently but still firmly squeeze at her breasts. Emma's eyes rolled back as she felt her hips push into her sex more, she was on the edge of losing control, but even she was fully enjoying Regina's control of things.
"Sit up for me." Regina moaned, followed by a deep sigh as Emma did what she was ordered to do. Not finding it difficult at all, the blonde wrapped an arm around her wife's form as she pushed herself to sit up from the bed, grabbing a hold of the brunette's head as she brought her lips down to come in contact with hers once again in a hard given kiss. Grunts escaping them both, followed by exchanging moans inside each other's mouths as both women were nearing their orgasms.
Regina's hands slithered up the blonde's toned arms, God did she miss feeling just how firm and hard every single muscle would get on the blonde's arms and back. Their lips parted, but remained ghosting on each other, as she heard a hiss coming from Emma herself followed by another moan as Regina's nails scratched at her shoulders as her fingers gripped on tightly to pale, sweat drenched flesh. Red scratch marks already appearing where Regina's nails would be sure to pass.
Regina kissed at Emma's bottom lip as she gently sucked on it, teeth softly pulling on it as her movements became harder and harder, to the point where Emma's face was soon hidden on Regina's neck, her hot breath hitting her flesh, followed by her moan after moan as she soon came undone. The moans were mumbled, but still a turn on for Regina came next as soon as she felt her sex covered in all of Emma's glory as Emma's hips kept their upward movements as well. Emma couldn't think of a better feeling than the one she was sharing with her wife in that very bed. If there was one thing she knew for certain, was that she never wanted to lose that ever again.
END OF M RATED SCENE
Still lustful eyes stared into one another, as lips continued to ghost over each other as both women slowered their movements, as their muscles began to relax, soft, breathless kisses were being shared as their embrace never parted.
"This should have been our first time." Emma whispered, brushing strands of black hair away from Regina's face. She would always hate herself for how she treated Regina on their wedding night, and the brunette knew that, even if she no longer did.
"Every time with you is my first time." Regina whispered, her eyes greatly focused on Emma's green ones, "Now, I can honestly say that if my mother had given me the choice of who I wanted to marry… I'd choose you."
Emma captured the brunette's lips with her own in a more gentle kiss, lifting her up without warning with one arm as she laid her back on to the bed as her body rested on top of her own now. She wasn't ready to sleep yet, and truth be told, neither was Regina.
Daniel's home was a disaster, his anger had become so much that he had destroyed everything in sight. The only thing still standing, or rather faced down now was a picture of him and Sam when they had gotten married. He honestly hated the thought of her seeing him this way, even he hated having to feel all this jealousy burning inside of him. But, it was. It really was and he couldn't help but come to hate Emma once again for taking the love of his life away. Part of him knew he was wrong in torturing himself like this, but his heart said something different. He just could not let Regina go. He wouldn't.
It also didn't help matters that he had been drinking for the rest of the day, after all, how more was he supposed to stop thinking about his day to day torture? Funny thing about alcohol, people drink to forget, but on the contrary it makes you think more of what pains you in that moment. Daniel's pain had a name. Regina. That undying love he felt for her ever since the day they had met as he was working in her family's stables.
Tears made their way down as he served himself another drink, the bottle half empty now, as he was already feeling the room spin. He reached for the photograph of him and Sam as he dizzily stared into it.
"Why did you have to die?" he asked as he stared down at the picture, "It should have been me, instead of you." he threw the frame aside, which landed on the couch as Daniel rested his head back, tears streaming down to his temples.
"I was happy with you. I really was." his thoughts soon went to one of the many memories he had of Regina, "Why did you have to fall in love with her, Regina? Why couldn't you just leave with me when I asked you to? What did I ever do to deserve all this loneliness?"
He threw the glass across the room, the glass shattering into a million pieces, as he took a long hard drink directly from the bottle this time. Yes, he wanted to forget and he was willing to finish the whole bottle until he no longer remembered anything.
His head soon lifted as a knock sounded coming from his front door.
"Regina?" he said to himself as his legs lazily walked him across the room, bottle still in hand, vision become more and more blurry from the amounts of alcohol already in his system.
As he swung opened the door, he was surprised to see no other than Lily standing right in front of him. He smiled, as to him, he still saw Regina, "Regina…" he held the brunette's face in his hands, "You came. I knew you'd come looking for me."
Lily pushed him away, her brows furrowed in confusion, "What the hell is wrong with you, Daniel? Are you drunk?"
Daniel's eyes focused more on Lily, the vision of Regina vanishing in an instant as the man grew upset to find out that she wasn't really there. She hadn't gone back to him like he had hoped.
"You're not Regina." he stepped away from the door, not at all interested in speaking to the woman.
She rolled her eyes, "Of course not, you idiot." her eyes scanned the disaster around the room as she let herself in, closing the door behind her. "What the hell happened in here?"
Daniel took another hard drink from the bottle, swallowing the liquid down instantly as he chuckled, "I was just… redecorating." he turned his attention back to Lily, not remembering at all that he had called her in his drunken state.
"What are you doing here?" he asked her.
"You called me. Remember? You said you needed to tell me something important, something that would benefit us both." replied Lily, her hands stuffed inside her pockets.
Daniel chuckled once again, "You won't believe me if I tell you."
"Well, spit it out. What is it?"
"Regina…" his body plopped on the couch, not being able to stand any longer, "She has finally been restored to her former glory."
Lily shrugged, "So? I always knew she would be truly once Emma was dead."
"Only, it's not because of me why she's happy again."
Lily chuckled, "So, she finally found someone else? After everything, she keeps Emma's money and spends it with someone else. Now, I can see why you're drinking yourself to death." she couldn't help to laugh at how pathetic Daniel seemed, "You're pathetic, hanging on to a woman who is never going to see you the way you want her to."
Daniel stood from the couch with anger in his eyes now, "Like you held on to Emma when she never loved you?"
"Emma loved me." replied Lily, anger in her voice now.
"Not like you hoped and we all know it. You just loved feeling your head with all these ridiculous fantasies that are never going to come true."
"Listen, Daniel if this is why you called me, so you could bring me down- it's best I leave. I've suffered enough with Emma's death and I keep suffering it, more than you say Regina has been. I don't care to have to deal with your suffering as well." she turned towards the door as she turned the doorknob.
"Emma is alive."
Lily forze, her head soon turning to face him again, brows furrowed, "What?" she walked up to the man, taking the bottle directly from his hand as he was preparing to take another drink, drops of alcohol spilling on the floor as they flew off the bottle from the force of Lily's yanking.
"Repeat what you just said to me again."
Daniel looked directly into Lily's eyes, "Emma. She's alive. I saw her."
Lily's smile was quick in appearing, tears streaming down her eyes, "She's alive?" she whispered to herself, "And, she's here?"
"Not anymore. She moved to Storybrooke with Regina. I tried my best to keep it a secret, but she found out anyway." replied Daniel. He was too drunk to care that he had just given himself away to Lily.
"Regina knows?" Lily asked, not happy with that part of the news. When it finally dawned on her, "Wait. How did you even know she was alive? You said you tried to keep it a secret."
After a minute of silence, he spoke, again not caring about the consequences, "Emma never died in that plane crash." Lily's eyes grew wide at the discovery, "I did a little digging of my own and found out that she had actually been found in London. That's where she was all these years…"
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Lily.
"I never said anything because she had lost her memory. She didn't know who she was, and I saw it as an opportunity to make Regina fall in love with me again. So I lied to her. I told her that Emma had in fact died, when it wasn't true."
Slap!
Daniel was met with his third hard slap of the day, only it didn't stop there. Lily still launched at him, grabbing fist fulls of his shirt in her hands as she began shaking him to no ends meet.
"You knew Emma was alive this whole damn time and you didn't tell me?!" she shook him once again, "You could have told me! If anyone had any right to know that Emma was alive- it should have been me!"
Daniel grew furious then and pushed Lily back, "What the hell would you have done, Lily?! Emma hit her head, she wouldn't of known who you were!"
"Exactly! She wouldn't of known, that would have been the perfect way of keeping them apart for good, dumbass! I could have gone to London and been with Emma, kept her from coming back home, while you could have been with Regina if you wanted to!" Lily shouted, pushing Daniel once again.
Daniel held on tightly to Lily's wrists this time, angered again at the thought of them being together.
Lily could see then that they shared the same anger. She wanted Emma, she would always want Emma just as Daniel would always want Regina.
"Listen to me, Daniel. We can fix this. We can still separate them-"
Daniel pushed her back again as he scoffed, "Separate them? Are you listening to yourself? I already tried that, Lily. There is no way we are ever going to separate them."
"Obviously not by yourself, you're not. But, if we work together then maybe we could come up with a better plan." replied Lily.
Daniel could practically already see as any possible idea was floating around in Lily's head, he shook his head, "No. No, I- I know you. I know you, you're going to try to hurt Regina and I'll be damned if I ever let you hurt her."
Lily rolled her eyes, "Oh, don't worry, I won't touch your precious Regina. As long as you don't touch Emma."
"Get out of here, Lily." he said firmly, not in the mood to listen to any of her dumb ideas.
"At least think it over. We could help each other, Daniel." Lily said.
Daniel chuckled, "Yeah, until you run off and tell Robert everything." he shook his head once again, "Get out."
"Robert doesn't have to know." she assured him.
"Get out or I'll throw you out."
Lily walked back towards the door, looking back at Daniel one last time as his back remained turned towards her, "Come and find me when you are ready to accept my help."
Daniel turned back as he heard the door close, reaching for the bottle that Lily had left on top of his coffee table, taking another long hard drink from it.
