I pull up to the jewelry shop and hop out so i can run in. The rings for the ceremony have finally finished all final touches. We chose beautiful gold dual banded rings. The bands twist around each other in an intricate pattern and are topped with 3 jewels. One diamond in the middle as the larger stone, and a ruby and an emerald on either side of the diamond in a smaller setting. They are beautiful and represent us so well. I thank the clerk as he hands off the velvet box with the rings inside and i run back out to the car. I drive home and Regina greets me at the door with a smile. "Did you get them?" She asks excitedly. "Well yea i got em. They are perfect. Like you." I open the box to show her and she nearly jumps with excitement. "Oh Emma they turned out perfectly. I know it was our combined ideas that created them, but your drawing made them absolutely amazing. I cant wait to have that on my finger forever."

She kisses me softly and i hand over the box. She turns to put them in her office desk drawer and locks it up. Not even 2 months and she and i will be married. Its a countdown now. All planning and arrangements have been made and everything will be set up for us on our day, so we dont have anything else to worry about except our cake. We finalize the design and flavors tomorrow afternoon. And thats the very last thing. We picked out our dresses last month and had our last fittings before the week of the wedding, yesterday. I havent seen Reginas and shes not seen mine. But Belle told me id love it. Which i dont doubt. I love anything Regina wears.

We have worked on moving past her fears in the bedroom. We can finally get to the point where shes calm enough that i could enter her and she feels confident enough to enter me. We havent yet simply because we want to experience that together for the first time on our wedding night. Her nightmares have become less frequent. Shes only had them maybe 2 or 3 times this month. Slowly but surely shes getting better. I can see more happiness in her eyes than ive ever seen before. It makes me so proud to see her smile and laugh and sleep without allowing those bad thoughts into her daily life.

The rings are the most beautiful things ive ever seen. They are the perfect balance of light and dark. Just like Emma and I are. She has made these last few months since my last episode, perfect. I dont hate myself as much for the things i couldnt control. I know now that none of it was me. I had no options that could have let me escape those situations safely. The fact that i feel ready to make love to my fiancé is a huge amount of proof that im improving. I cant wait till our wedding night. I crave her touch so much, i just have to be patient.

My dress for the wedding is perfect. Its a beautiful white, floor length dress with a corset bodice and no sleeves or straps. It has a heart shaped top and flows into a fairytale like skirt without being puffy. Its skin tight all the way to the end of the corset where it starts to flare out so i can dance in it easily. Emma and I have been practicing our first dance for the last month or so. Shes coming along very nicely. She only stepped on my foot once in our first lesson. We are trying to keep the first dance traditional while still updating it to current times. Henry and I have been practicing our dance as well. Emma and her father are doing a simple box step sway kind of dance. Emma says her father has 2 left feet and she didnt want anything too complicated.

This wedding cant come soon enough in my opinion. Im ready to be tied to the love of my life for all eternity. Ive started writing my vows and its going to be difficult to not cry when i say them. They are open and honest about how i feel about Emma. Tomorrow the choice on the cake will be made. I already know what im leaning towards. But Emma just wants to taste test anyway. Such a sweet tooth she has. There are four options. Lemon blueberry, red velvet, coffee cake, and white cake. I think we should have a 3 tiered cake. The topper is for our first anniversary and should be whichever we think tastes best. But i think the other two layers should be different flavors so people can have a choice. We are also doing a cheesecake bar. Plain cheesecake in muffin tins will be placed at every setting. At the end of the night people can go to the toppings bar we will have set up and they can personalize their cheesecake to take home.

I am currently putting the finishing touches on my lasagna for dinner tonight. The Charmings are coming for sunday night family dinner, like always. I feel strong arms wrap around my waist from behind and a warm breath against my ear. "Mm babe that smells amazing." She kisses under my ear but keeps her hold on me. I sprinkle the last bit of cheese onto the top and pop it back into the oven to melt the cheese. Then i turn in her arms but before a word comes out of my mouth, her lips are against mine. My arms wrap around her neck and suddenly im in the air being lifted into the counter top. Emma is standing between my knees and shes running her fingers up my thighs. I break the kiss and try to catch my breath. "Emma, we cant. Your parents will be here in half an hour. We have to.." im cut off my her lips again. She kisses my lips and trails down my neck. I cant help but tilt my head so she can kiss in that one spot that feels like heaven. I feel her suck lightly on that spot before she pulls away. "You're right babe. We shouldnt do this right now. After dinner when everyone leaves, i want you for dessert." She kisses me once more and helps me down off the counter. I feel almost offended that she would get me started and leave me hanging like that. "I cannot believe you just did that. You are such a tease Emma Swan." I swat her butt and she turns back to me. "Hey babe, you got a little something on your face. Right around your mouth." I look at her in horror. My makeup!! I run to the bathroom to fix the disaster that is my lipstick just as i hear the oven ding. "Emma could you please take the lasagna out of the oven. Ive got to fix the mess you made." I hear her laugh from the kitchen. "I got it baby. No worries."

Just as i finish up my makeup i hear Henry run down the steps. Snow and David must be here. I step out to see Henry open the door for his grandparents and immediately he takes Neal from Snows arms. "Hey Grams, Gramps. I got Neal. Dinner is ready mom is just freshening up. "Im right here Henry. No need to wait for dinner. Come now, lets all go eat. The 6 of us get to the table and pull out Neals high chair. I dish up a serving for everyone and i cut baby Neals up into tiny bites. He not so much a baby anymore. Hes started standing by himself already. Not for long but it still counts. He might be walking a little by the wedding. He will be 1 by then. We have pleasant conversation over our lasagna and garlic bread with a side salad. We talk about how close we are to the wedding and having our preparations done. Snow is just as excited as we are. David is more nervous about being in the spotlight on the dance floor than i ever could have imagined. Its quite funny if im being honest. A strong knight. Prince of the Enchanted Forest. Nervous to dance in front of a crowd of people.

After dinner is done i serve up dessert. Apple turnovers with whipped cream. Emma keeps making suggestive jokes and eyeing me across the table. I dont know what has gotten into her tonight but its got me all hot under the collar. I feel the pull in my stomach every time our eyes meet. So i start being naughty too. I run my foot up her leg and stop at her upper thigh. She looks at me in question as i ignore her look completely and focus in holding conversation with Snow. Emma grunts quietly before she makes a awkward statement. "Ok. I think we are all finished. Mom, Dad, always nice having you over. Henry, i think you should call one of your friends to see if you can stay over tonight. Your mom and i need to have a private discussion." Henry just nods while Snow and David look a little awkward. Im sure theyve picked up on the tension.

"Is everything alright moms? Did i miss something?" Henry looks between us, then to his grandparents. David chimes in, "everything is fine Henry. They just need to talk about wedding stuff im sure. Why dont you come stay the night with us. Neal loves having you over. You are his favorite nephew after all." We all laugh at that. And we bid them all farewell. I kiss Henrys cheek "best behavior son. You know the rules." He nods as he wipes his cheek off. "Yea yea mom. I know. I love you both." Emma calls back, "we love you kiddo. Have a good time."

We both watch them pull away and as soon as theyre out of eyesight im pushed against the wall. I hear the door click locked as Emma removes her shirt. She touches my shirt lightly asking permission. "Please Emma. You had me on edge all evening." My shirt is off as quickly as i say the words. Her hands find my breasts and she rolls my nipples between her fingers. I throw my head back into the wall and moan as my back arches towards her. She kisses down my neck and one hand traces down my waist just as her mouth takes over that nipple. Im panting already and weve only just begun.

"Emma!" I gasp out. She lifts her head from my chest and i feel magic in the air around us. "Bedroom now." I hear her growl and we are both transported to our room and i fall back onto the bed. Emma stands at the end of the bed and removes her jeans and underwear. All she has left is a bra. She looks me in the eye as she grabs my ankles and slides me down to the end of the bed. She trails kisses down my stomach and i feel her fingertips ghost under the waistband of my skirt. I lift my hips to make it easier for her as she removes my skirt. She removes my underwear at the same time. "Is it ok if we try something new Regina? I want to feel you cum against me." I just nod. All words have died on my tongue at the idea of her scissoring me.

Emma places one knee under my leg and one leg over my other leg. The second our cores touch, my hands grip the sheets and i hear both of us moan. Shes so wet for me. I can hear the slick sounds as she grind her hips into mine. Our clits are bumping together on every thrust. I can already feel myself building up the orgasm. "Fuck baby. You feel so good. Your so wet, Regina. God!" She hits against my clit perfectly as soon as she finishes talking and i let loose a moan thats more high pitched than ever. I let go of the sheets and grip her hips to help her keep stamina. This is amazing. "Yessss, Emma. Right there, im so close baby. Mmmmh." I can feel the tension in my stomach about to burst. It wont take much. "Cum with me baby. I want to feel you as we cum together. Youre so beautiful Regina." It only takes a few more well timed thrusts and we are both tumbling over into climax together. I feel our fluids mix together and its so erotic i cum again just from the thought. "Fuck, Emma. I love you." I pant out. I feel her fall to my side and her arm wraps around me as she kisses my shoulder. Her breathing is heavy too. "I love you too baby. That was fantastic. Did you cum twice?" I turn onto my side and nod. "Yes. The feeling of us mixing together threw me over again." Emma just smiles and rubs my side with her thumb. She kisses my lips softly. "Let me know when you are ok to go again."

We make love between small naps all night. It was amazing every time. I wake well rested even if my whole body feels a little weak from the work outs. I look down at the back of the woman i love. Shes still sleeping peacefully against me so i opt to stay put and close my eyes again. I fall back to sleep to the sounds of our soft breathing.
