Chapter 10: Emma's Check Up and an Awkward Dinner
The day after the first date, Regina agreed to accompany Emma on the check up at the hospital since when they were heading back to Emma's dorm for a night. The ladies were cuddling altogether in the bed all night. The brunette woman enjoyed her first date with her and didn't except that it was amazing since Daniel took her when she was younger.
Emma was sleeping in a nude state while she was resting on the brunette woman's waist under the comforter. Regina opened her eyes and yawned slightly. She looked around the room and found that they had arrived back to Emma's dorm at about 3 in the morning. She realized that she was naked too but didn't remember what's going on. Regina finally looked back to the blonde woman who looked like an angel but had no hair.
The brunette woman smiled at her thoughts of her companion and rested her head on the pillow to face the blonde woman in her eyes. She reached her index finger to caress Emma's facial features. She moved a light feather touch on Emma's forehead, her cheekbones, nose then lastly on pale lips. Regina unconsciously kissed the blonde woman's bald head. It was very special to her when she was watching Emma sleeping in peace.
Her heart was beating rapidly for a while. The brunette woman kept going with her touches on Emma. After several minutes, Regina stopped caressing her and looked over the blonde woman to see the alarm clock on the nightstand. It was 11am. She knew that they were tired from their first date but it was amazing. The brunette woman sighed and kissed the blonde woman's nose then got up carefully. She didn't want to wake the peaceful woman and walked to the shower to get ready.
Emma had an appointment at 2pm. Regina was relieved that they didn't rush to miss the appointment with Doctor Lucas. It's actually Granny, the elder woman insisted to get them to call her when they had a chance to see her again. The brunette woman rolled her eyes and went to turn the hot water on.
On the other side of the room, the blonde woman woke up due to hearing the water running in the bathroom. She knew it was Regina and her smile curled up. Emma squirmed under the comforter and sighed due of an empty cold side where Regina was sleeping.
The blonde woman didn't hesitate to wait for the brunette woman to come out of the bathroom. She got up and felt chilly when she loosened the comforter from her hands. Emma went to the closet to put her big t-shirt and underwear on. She finally got out of her bedroom and strode toward the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Emma decided to make pancakes and hot chocolate for the brunette woman. She knew that she couldn't eat brunch since she had an appointment for check up at 2pm. So, the blonde woman grabbed the pancake mix from the cabinet and went to get it mixed before she picked the pan from the bottom cabinet.
In the bathroom, Regina finished her shower and wrapped her towel around her olive-tanned body then strode out toward the bedroom. She was surprised that the bed was empty and smelled the goodness of food. It made her excited to see Emma and went to grab some clothes from the blonde woman's closet. She knew that Emma didn't mind if Regina wore some of her clothing.
The brunette woman smiled at herself when she opened the doors of the closet. She looked through it until she laid her eyes on the black slacks and the purple sweater. Regina nodded at her approval on the clothes she chose then went to put it on herself. The brunette woman looked around to find the brush but saw the comb on the vanity table near the nightstand.
Regina grabbed the comb and walked to the bathroom then fixed her hair with the blow dryer from the drawer that she found before her shower. The brunette woman was satisfied with her looks and went to search for her purse in the bedroom. It was not there at all until she remembered that she dropped her purse on the couch where they made out.
Finally, the brunette woman reminisced the moments and blushed at the thoughts. She did have amazing sex with Emma and it made her giddy. Regina shook her thoughts and walked out of the bedroom then found her purse there. She looked at the blonde woman in her a big t-shirt and underwear. The brunette woman bit her lip while ogling Emma's glory and couldn't stop thinking about having a quickie sex with her but she decided to control herself.
Regina turned around and walked inside the bedroom. She didn't notice Emma smirking and focused on her makeup in the bathroom. Few minutes later, the brunette woman finished her looks and walked to get her flat shoes since she was on her first date on the motorcycle. No, it was Ducati 848 EVO motorcycle.
After getting ready for the check up with Emma, she gathered her clothes from last night and put it in her purse. The brunette woman was lucky that she had a big purse. It fit her clothes inside the purse and she didn't need to worry about borrowing a bag from Emma. Regina walked out of the bedroom with a smile and saw Emma sitting on the couch.
The blonde woman looked up at her with a grin and gestured the brunette woman to sit beside her. The breakfast plate was settled up on the table with the mug of hot chocolate. Regina was softening her heart when she saw her breakfast plate and strode toward the blonde woman. Emma smirked and leaned up to get a kiss from Regina. The brunette woman was happy to give a long-lasting kiss on the pale lips and went to sit on the couch after getting her plate.
Emma waggled her brows and chuckled. Regina rolled her eyes at the blonde woman and went to dig her breakfast meal until her moans started to rise. The blonde woman raised her eyebrows at her and replied.
"Is it good? I cooked it for you."
"it's great! It's better than my mom's cooking. Don't tell her that I said that." Regina muttered and glared a warning at the blonde woman. Emma snorted and mocked her hands up in surrender then got up from the couch. The brunette woman frowned at her and the blonde woman shook her head then placed a kiss on plump red lips with a response.
"I have a question before getting ready. It is already 12pm."
"What is it? By the way, we have a plenty of time before your appointment at 2pm." The brunette woman explained after eating the last pancake. Emma shook her head and explained before going inside the bedroom.
"Will you be my girlfriend? If you don't want to rush, it's fine with me. And, yes, we do but I have errands to do."
"Girlfriend? I'd love to be your girlfriend. I felt right with you so I wanted to ask you when I have a second date with you. So, errands like what?" Regina asked while putting a plate on the table then grabbing the mug of hot chocolate. The blonde woman entered her bedroom and yelled.
"The bills such as the college payment, apartment and motorcycles."
"Oh." The brunette woman understood and replied back. Regina sighed and drank all of it until she decided to wash the dish. She heard the water running in the shower and knew that the blonde woman went to take a shower. The brunette woman finished the errands and looked around to take an exploration in the dorm. She never had an experience in Boston University dorm halls but had an experience to live in New York University for her college and graduate school.
There were no different to compare the dorm halls to New York University's campus dorms. The brunette woman took an interest in the pictures on the shelves. It was Emma's childhood to the adult life. She was aware of the blonde woman's foster life until she was seventeen when she ran away. Regina was impressed that Emma made her decision to be in college for her graduate school to study Criminal Justice.
It took her a while to look thoroughly on the shelves including the books based on the crime novels. Regina smirked that the blonde woman had great taste in crime novels and decided to discuss the books for their interests. She heard the blonde woman stomping around in the bedroom and looked at the clock on the stove. It was 12:45pm.
Regina decided to walk back to the couch and grabbed the remote to turn the television on then channeled through the shows until she found her favorite show, brunette woman smiled at herself and relaxed on the couch for a while. Walking out from the bedroom, Emma showed off on her clothing. She wore leather pants with a black rock t-shirt saying, 'Love Bites by Def Leoppard'. Regina glanced over her companion and drooled over the blonde woman's leather pants. The blonde woman smirked at the brunette woman's lusty look and walked to the kitchen to do her errands then worked on her payments.
Regina tried to control herself but unconsciously got up and walked toward Emma. The blonde woman didn't notice the brunette woman behind her and focused on her bills. The brunette woman pulled the chair backward and moved her right leg over Emma's legs. Emma snapped her eyes up to look at Regina. The brunette woman cupped on the blonde woman's cheeks and leaned her head to intertwine their lips together.
Emma dropped her pen on the paperwork and reached her hands on the brunette woman's back to get closer. Their lips moved gracefully. The moans got louder and their tongues tangled around in each other's mouth. Regina broke the kiss and grinned widely. Emma smirked and gave a peck on red lips then replied.
"What is turning you on?"
"Your leather pants. You look hot in them." Regina purred in a husky voice and giggled. The blonde woman laughed and squeezed the brunette woman's waist around her arms. The ladies giggled and stole few kisses on their lips until Emma tapped her and informed that she had to do errands before 1:30pm. Regina nodded and kissed her for a last time then moved herself out of the blonde woman's embrace and walked to the couch for watching her favorite tv show.
The blonde woman snickered and focused on her errands for a while. Regina tilted her head while she rested her elbow on the edge of the couch. The ladies were thinking about their first date from last night and put their smiles on their faces.
After the errands and tv show, it was 1:30pm and Emma got up from the chair. Regina was absorbed in NCIS: Los Angeles show. The blonde woman gathered her bills and went back to the bedroom to grab her motorcycle and red leather jacket. Emma was aware that she put her blonde wig before leaving the dorm with Regina.
The brunette woman heard the boots on the floor and looked up at Emma with a smile. The blonde woman looked around to find two helmets until she found them on the tv stand. Regina got up after turning the television off and put her coat which it was hanging on the rack near the door. Emma handed the spare helmet to the brunette woman and waited for Regina to get out of the dorm room.
The blonde woman locked her dorm door and walked to the elevator with the brunette woman. The students were chattering through the hallway and played some games during the afternoon time. Emma rolled her eyes and heard the ding from the elevator. The ladies went inside the lift and pressed the garage floor under the building.
They reached the motorcycle which it had a cover on it. Regina put her helmet on her head and waited for the blonde woman to wrap the cover and put it back to the storage locker. Emma walked back to kiss the brunette woman's lips and winked then put her helmet on her head. The blonde woman straddled on the seat and ignited the Ducati 848 EVO.
The motorcycle roared. Regina looked around to find her students who were slack-jawed at them then winked at them and straddled behind her lover. Emma checked over her shoulders and saluted with her free hand then drove away. The brunette woman tightened her arms around the blonde woman's waist.
Not long before they arrived at the post office near the campus of Boston University, Emma dropped the envelopes in the post office box and drove again toward the hospital. Regina hummed a tune while looking at the beautiful sight of Boston. The blonde woman checked on her motorcycle before looking up at the traffic light. She sighed and looked around herself to see her classmate who were in the black Honda Civic then waved her hand at her. It was Ariel, a redhead woman from Regina's class.
The redhead woman looked at the traffic light and turned her head to look at her professor who was talking to Emma on the motorcycle then went slack-jawed when she saw the brunette woman with her classmate. Regina laughed and looked at Ariel who was in the black Honda Civic then smiled at her.
The traffic light turned on the green. The ladies on the motorcycle went off straight ahead. Ariel shot up to watch the ladies taking off on the lane and muttered, 'what the fuck?' then drove on the left turn.
Several minutes before 2pm appointment, Emma and Regina arrived at Massachusetts General Hospital. The blonde woman ignited the motorcycle off. The brunette woman mounted herself off on the ride and grabbed her helmet off then put it in the compartment. Emma straddled herself off from her motorcycle and heard the men chattering about her motorcycle. One of the brunette male nurse cupped his mouth to yell at her.
"That ride is so sweet!"
"Thank you!" Emma replied with a smile. The brunette male nurse gave a thumbs up. Regina chuckled and put her arm around the blonde woman's waist. She looked at her companion who was taking her helmet off and kissed the blonde woman's cheek. Emma put her helmet in the compartment and pocketed her keys in her leather jacket.
The ladies walked off from the parking lot and went inside the building. The nurses, patients and doctors chattered away in the hallways. The blonde woman guided them to the nurses' station and informed the female nurse that they were here for Emma's appointment. The nurse nodded and called Dr. Lucas right away after the ladies went to find their seats in the waiting room. Emma sat down and wrapped her right arm around the brunette woman's shoulders.
Regina smiled and put her left hand on the blonde woman's thigh while Emma crossed her thighs altogether. The blonde woman looked at her companion and placed a kiss on plump red lips then replied.
"Thank you for accompanying me here."
"You are welcome. After your check up, we can go straight ahead to my house for dinner." The brunette woman said. Emma nodded and kissed on the brown locks then waited for her checkup with Doctor Lucas. Regina pocketed her phone out of her purse since she was holding it in her front chest between them on the motorcycle then checked on the messages. She got the messages from her son and mom.
The brunette woman entered her messages and got information from Henry. He told her about Emma's allergies. Regina typed while she was talking with Emma. The blonde woman was pleased that Henry wanted to know what she can't eat for dinner and knew she was allergic to poultry and red meats. The brunette woman was surprised that Emma couldn't eat any meat and asked.
"You can't eat it."
"I grew up eating vegetables and fruits. I've been a vegetarian my whole life."
"But you eat sweets too." Regina raised her eyebrows and quipped with a smirk. The blonde woman rolled her eyes and chuckled. The brunette woman sent a reply to her son and went to check her mom's messages. Emma looked up at the television which it was mounted on the wall while they were waiting for Doctor Lucas to call them to the room.
The brunette woman read her mother's messages and tensed when she saw her ex-girlfriend's name, Kathryn Nolan. The blonde woman felt a nudge on her arm and looked at her brunette companion then looked at the message from Regina's mother. Regina closed her messages and didn't reply back to her mother then decided to put her phone away in her purse. Emma furrowed her brows and opened her mouth but Doctor Lucas came in the waiting room to call for them.
The blonde woman grabbed Regina's hand and tugged away to the room while they followed the elder woman along. The brunette woman was glad that Emma understood by comforting her tension and tried to focus on the blonde woman's check up. The ladies entered the room. Emma released their hands and jumped on the examination table. The nurses came in to take blood test and check on her ears, nose, eyes and mouth then went back to the room to test the blood.
Regina stood beside the blonde woman and waited for Doctor Lucas. A female nurse came in and informed Emma to strip then handed a hospital gown to the blonde woman with a smile. Finally the female nurse left the room. Emma stripped her clothes and left her undergarments on. Regina helped her to tie the knot behind the blonde woman's back and kissed her shoulder.
Doctor Lucas came in and smiled at them. The brunette woman nodded at the elder woman. Emma was nervous about her check up and looked up at her doctor. Regina exhaled in the air and reached her hand to the blonde woman's hand to squeeze it. Emma looked at her brunette companion and smiled. Doctor Lucas observed on the file and spoke lightly.
"Your blood test came back. It's good. Now, are you ready for check up?"
"Yes, Doctor Lucas."
"Good, lie back and give me a minute." The elder woman said while searching for the latex gloves from the cabinet then picked two gloves and walked to the examination bed. Emma laid on her back on the bed and exhaled in air. Doctor Lucas put the stethoscope to hear the heartbeat on the blonde woman's chest.
Regina watched them for a while. Emma took the deep breathes while Granny checked on the chest and told her to sit upright. The blonde woman did so and took deep breathes while the elder woman took her exam on the back. Several minutes later, they finished with the exam and Doctor Lucas wrote something on the file. The blonde woman answered the questions related to her breathing, medicines and symptoms. The brunette woman listened to Emma's voice and knew that she was brave for going through the difficult times with breast cancer.
Granny checked on the blonde woman's body features for new tumors and found none. The nurses came back to give the test results about her condition. The elder woman thanked the nurse and looked through the paperwork until she informed both women in the room.
"You are nearly finished with your breast cancer. But you have few more weeks with the chemotherapy."
"Thank god." Emma replied. Doctor Lucas chuckled and nodded then shook her hands with the ladies and left the room. The blonde woman looked at the brunette woman with a smile. Regina cupped Emma's cheeks and leaned in to kiss pale lips. Emma pecked her back and went to put her clothes on.
Finally, the ladies got out of the room and walked to the nurses' station to make an appointment for the chemotherapy in few days. The blonde woman paid the check up appointment and tugged Regina out of the building toward the motorcycle.
The brunette sighed and went to take the helmets out from the compartment. Emma straddled on the motorcycle, ignited the keys and grabbed the helmet then put it on her head. Regina put her helmet on her head and straddled behind the blonde woman then held her purse between their bodies in the middle. Emma looked over her shoulders to check out if the cars or motorcycles came on the way to block them. But it was not there anymore and the ladies pulled it off to drive toward Regina's house.
Emma finally pulled off from the streets to the highways on the exit ramp. Regina tightened her hold around the blonde woman's waist. The brunette woman looked over Emma's shoulders to gaze through the cars on the highway. The blonde woman looked over to check the cars on the right lane and pulled away to be in the right lane. She slowed her speed when they got closer to the car ahead of them.
Regina kissed leather jacket shoulder and sighed. Emma looked for the cars on the left lane and drove off to pass the cars. The blonde woman focused on the road and heard the sigh behind her then replied.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." The brunette woman squeezed her arms around the blonde woman's waist and muttered. Emma rolled her eyes and asked again. It made her more curiosity with her brunette companion's moods today.
"Regina, what's going on with you? I never see you like that today. Tell me, I am a tough woman."
"You mean a tough biker?" Regina teased. Emma chuckled and waved her hand. The brunette woman leaned her helmet forehead on the blonde woman's back shoulder. The blonde woman stopped her tracks and found them in the traffic on the highway. Regina looked up at the sights of the cars in the front of them and replied.
"It's my ex-girlfriend. Mom texted me this morning. She showed up at my house in the morning without letting my parents know that she was in town."
The blonde woman nodded and let her brunette companion talk while she was watching the cars slowly move. The ladies heard sirens 4 miles away and it was loud. Emma used her feet to lap on the ground while she moved the motorcycle forward but she didn't want to crash her precious one. Regina rested her chin on the blonde woman's right shoulder and spoke lightly.
"Her name was Kathryn Nolan. We had a relationship in college years ago. But it was longer one than I had with Daniel. It was six years and half."
"Oh, that's a long one." Emma retorted while checking on the motorcycle for the gas. They moved a little bit on the ground. The brunette woman scratched her neck and explained.
"We met in our sophomore year in our first semester of college and we dated before we ended our sophomore year in the second semester then resumed with our graduate school together. We graduated from New York University twice like you did with Boston University."
"So, what happened after?" The blonde woman didn't want to pressure her brunette companion but asked. The brunette woman smiled at Emma's concerns and squeezed her arms around the waist then muttered.
"After we graduated from the graduate school, Kathryn proposed to me and we've been engaged for almost 6 months. We planned our wedding but she was more focused on her work instead of my son and me. She got a job offer from Los Angeles without letting me know that she planned to work there. It was only two weeks before our wedding. So, one night, Kathryn came in our townhouse which we lived for five years and told me that she had got new job in Los Angeles. At the first, I was shocked and thought that we agreed to live in New York City after we graduated from NYU. When that happened, we started to argue about the living arrangements and my job was in FBI department under NYPD."
Emma winced at the thoughts of the relationship with Kathryn and freed themselves from the traffic since they moved quickly on the highway. The blonde woman sighed and drove away on the middle lane while she listened to the brunette woman's voice. Regina blinked her eyes while she was focusing on her thoughts and spoke lightly.
"The heated argument between us was exploding with our yelling in the townhouse and Kathryn was angry at me because I didn't support her and I told her that she didn't focus on our relationship and my son's bond with her. So, before we broke off our wedding and she hit me in my face. It came to my mind, I decided to throw my engagement ring at her and told her that I decided to call it off our wedding. I loved my son so much. He came from his bedroom to hear our argument and asked Kathryn to get out of our townhouse then never came back again. So, that's how I got the tension from her."
"Kathryn abused you?" The blonde woman quipped after getting a shock to hear Regina's ex-girlfriend hit her. It was not right thing to do that to her. Emma sighed. Regina hummed her approval on the blonde woman's question and explained.
"I never experienced the abuse before. I decided to end our relationship and wished I never see her again until today."
"To be honest, I grew up in the foster homes. I had to deal with the abuse everyday. It was difficult at the first and I was tough for a while." Emma retorted while she was pulling them off to the exit ramp on the way to Regina's house in few minutes. The brunette woman swallowed a lump in her throat and tightened her hold once again. Regina went into her thoughts about Emma's childhood life and unconsciously kissed on the blonde woman's shoulder then focused on the sight of her road.
Finally, the ladies arrived to their destination and Emma pulled her motorcycle on the driveway. Regina loosened her arms around the blonde woman and heard Henry Jr. yelling at her. The brunette woman whipped to see her son with a smile. The blonde woman ignited her motorcycle off and put the rear stand on the ground.
Regina's parents walked out of the front door to see the ladies on the motorcycle. Henry Jr. was in front of them with a smile. Kathryn went out to follow them along until she looked at her ex-girlfriend on the motorcycle with a smile when she watched Regina took her helmet off and mounted off from the motorcycle. It surprised her out of the blue when Emma pulled her helmet off and mounted off from the motorcycle then kissed on the brunette woman's lips.
Kathryn clenched her fists while she was watching the blonde woman kissing her ex-girlfriend. Cora and Henry Sr. looked at the blonde woman beside them and smirked at themselves. Regina looked at her son and opened her arms toward him. The brunette man ran toward her and hugged tightly. Emma laughed at the scene between her brunette companions and said.
"Hey kid."
"Hi Emma!" Henry released his hug with his mom and went to hug the blonde woman's body. The brunette woman chuckled when she saw Emma's shocked expression and shook her head with a tongue out of her mouth. The blonde woman tried to grab Regina's shirt but failed because Henry Jr. blocked his way to get her. Regina looked at her parents and kissed on their cheeks.
Emma patted the brunette man and released her hug then looked at Cora and Henry Sr. with a smile. She noticed the blonde woman beside them but didn't say anything. Regina looked back to Emma and understood the look. The brunette woman looked at Kathryn who was focusing on her.
The blonde woman walked to Regina's parents while Regina and Henry stood behind her. The elder woman opened her arms and smiled at Emma. Henry Sr. laughed when he saw Regina's raising eyebrows at her mother. Emma chuckled and spoke lightly.
"Hello Cora. It's nice seeing you again. Thank you for the dinner invitation."
"It's our pleasure Emma, since you are dating our daughter." Henry Sr. informed her with a smirk. Kathryn snapped her head to look at the elder man beside her and found out that the blonde woman was dating her ex-girlfriend. Henry Jr. went tense when he watched Kathryn from his eye. Regina cleared her throat by getting her parents' attention. Emma walked toward the brunette woman and intertwined their hands.
The brunette woman ignored her ex-girlfriend and tugged her blonde companion to her house. Henry Jr. followed them along. Cora and Henry Sr. smiled at their daughter and walked inside. Kathryn was behind them and sneered under her breath.
The elders went to the kitchen. The brunette man helped his grandparents to cook the dinner since he got his mom's text about Emma's allergies. Regina opened the closet door and helped the blonde woman's leather jacket to be hung inside with her coat. Emma smiled at her brunette companion's gesture and kissed the brunette locks.
The brunette woman looked up at Emma and quickly pecked on the pale lips. The blonde woman closed the closet door and looked at other blonde woman who was watching them from their distance beside the front door. Regina faced her ex-girlfriend and said with a little sneer while she forced a smile.
"May I introduce you, my girlfriend, Emma Swan. So this is Kathryn Nolan, my ex-girlfriend."
"It's nice meeting you, Ms. Nolan." Emma retorted with a smile while she heard her girlfriend's voice with a sneer. She knew that it was very tense for both of the ladies when they met again. Kathryn forced a smile at the blonde woman and flat-voiced.
"Likewise. Regina, can I talk to you in private?"
"No." The brunette woman replied quickly before tugging her girlfriend out of the foyer toward the dining room. Emma pressed her lips together and focused on her way with the brunette companion. Henry Jr. walked out of the kitchen and nearly bumped with the blonde woman then replied.
"Oh, I didn't see you there."
"That's all right." The blonde woman said while chuckling with the brunette man. Regina smiled softly when she watched her girlfriend and son bonding and went to the kitchen to see her parents. Cora and Henry Sr. swatted their hands on the dishes then looked at their daughter with soft smiles. The brunette woman rolled her eyes and spoke lightly.
"Mom and Papa, I wanted you to know that Emma asked me to be her girlfriend this morning."
"Oh really!? I'm so glad!" The elder woman squealed and went to lunge on her daughter. Henry Sr. clapped and spoke lightly.
"I knew Emma is special. You know that we like her."
"Indeed, dear." Cora replied after hearing her husband's voice. Regina smiled brightly. The elders kissed on the brunette woman's forehead. She was relieved that her parents approved of their relationship and knew that Emma had no plans to harm her and even her son then found herself out to her girlfriend and son in the living room.
Kathryn clenched her fists and walked out of the foyer toward the living room then watched the Emma and Henry Jr. chatting about the video games. Regina came in to kiss on their forehead except her ex-girlfriend then sat in the middle between her companions. Emma wrapped her right arm around the brunette woman's shoulder. The brunette man laughed while explaining his situation with the video game that he struggled for the years. Regina listened to her son's voice and ruffled the brown locks.
The blonde woman sat down on the armchair and watched the scene between her ex-girlfriend and the blonde woman then decided to study Emma for a while. Cora went out to call them for the dinner time. Henry Jr. got up and went to help his grandfather to carry the food. The elder woman was pleased that her grandson was there to help them out. Regina clasped her hands with Emma and walked away to the dining room. Kathryn was behind them and thought of a plan to get Regina to talk with her in the private.
Henry Sr. and the brunette man entered the dining room with the food on their hands. Regina helped her father to put it on the table. Cora grabbed the wine bottle from the kitchen and walked toward the dining table. Emma looked at the elder woman's hand and replied.
"Cora, you should sit and relax. Let me do it for you with the wine bottle." Henry Sr. laughed. Cora was surprised that Emma was polite and nodded then handed her the wine bottle. Regina smiled at her girlfriend. The blonde woman grabbed the wine bottle to pour wine in the wine glasses for each person except hers. The elder woman sat down on her head chair and Henry Sr. took his seat opposite from his wife's chair. Kathryn was sitting beside Cora and Henry Jr. Regina was sitting beside her father and Emma on the right.
They took a glance on the food that the elders cooked the vegetarian dishes and meat dishes. Emma decided to take a piece of the vegetarian dish which was spinach lasagna and looked over other dishes that have vegetarian recipes. She thanked Cora for cooking for her. The elder woman giggled and waved her dismissal hand at her. Regina was pleased that her mother decided to adjust the dinner for her girlfriend.
Henry Jr. decided to take the meat dish which was beef lasagna. Kathryn took meat dishes with a side of vegetable. Cora and Henry Sr. decided to take both of pieces from the meat dish and vegetarian dish. Regina took her guts to try the vegetarian dish. The blonde woman hummed with a tasting of the spinach lasagna. The elder woman mentally squealed that Emma loved her cooking.
Kathryn ate a piece of the beef lasagna and glanced over the blonde woman who was sitting opposite from her seat. Regina was chatting with her father about her classes at Boston University. Henry Jr. chuckled with the blonde woman who was sitting beside his brunette mother. Cora took it silently while she was listening to her daughter's voice about her work. The blonde woman put her fork on the napkin and looked up at other blonde woman with a reply.
"Ms. Swan, what do you do for living?"
Others looked at Kathryn. Emma stopped to eat her vegetarian dish and looked up at her. Regina watched her ex-girlfriend and knew what she planned to do something to her girlfriend. Cora held her breath while focusing her food on the plate. Henry Jr. slowly ate a piece of his meat dish. The elder man looked back and forth to the blonde women on the table.
"I'm planning to be a police officer for Boston Police Department. Right now, I'm focusing on my studies in Boston University."
"Oh, what are your majors? If you don't mind I ask you that question." Kathryn smiled at her while looking at her ex-girlfriend with a twinkle in her eyes. The brunette man scooted his chair away from her and didn't make the noise.
"My major is Criminal Justice and minor is in Political Science."
"That's nice. You are an undergraduate. You look so young." The blonde woman said. Regina reached her hand on her girlfriend's hand to squeeze altogether while watching her ex-girlfriend's questioning toward her.
"No, I'm taking the graduate studies. This is my last semester." Emma replied with a smile. Kathryn nodded and asked again.
"I'm curious about yourself. Tell me about you. I would like to know you better since you are dating my ex-girlfriend." Others held their tension except Emma. The blonde woman had a tough life in her foster life. Regina looked at her girlfriend and squeezed once again. Emma looked at her brunette woman and kissed her cheek then whispered into her ear.
"It's ok."
The brunette woman took a glance at her ex-girlfriend and nodded toward her girlfriend. She didn't release her hand and held it while Kathryn's inquisitions. Cora slowly took a sip on the wine glass. Henry Sr. slowly chewed his food in his mouth while he was curious about Kathryn's questions. The brunette man looked at his mom's girlfriend with a soft look.
"I grew up in the foster homes until I was seventeen. I ran away to New York City. So, I want to know about you too. Tell me about yourself since you used to date my girlfriend." Emma retorted with a forced smile. The elder woman mentally praised Emma's glory and tried to hide her excitement.
"Oh, I grew up in New York City and I became a lawyer in criminal justice. Regina, do you remember when we made a pact that we were in graduate school?"
"Yes, Ms. Nolan." Regina flat-voiced before sipping her wine. The brunette man stopped eating and watched the scene between the blonde women. Henry Sr. finished his piece and went to sip his wine. The elder woman swirled her wine and decided to pour the wine but Emma went to do it for her. Cora thanked her and sipped the wine. The blonde woman tilted her head and asked toward her girlfriend.
"What is the pact?"
"We made the pact that we stayed together and decided to never let each other go." The brunette woman explained. Kathryn slowly grinned. Henry narrowed his eyes at the blonde woman and knew it was a fishy pact between his mom and Kathryn. Emma nodded at her girlfriend and replied.
"The pact is worthless. Do you know that, Kathryn?"
Cora mentally fisted in the air and hid her smile. Regina hid her smile because she knew that Emma was smarter than Kathryn. The brunette man slowly nodded and knew that Emma was the right one for his brunette mother. Henry Sr. looked at his wife who was hiding her excitement and smiled at himself. Kathryn clenched her fists under the table and forced a smile at the blonde woman then asked.
"What makes you think of that?"
"Because the pact between you both didn't work out since you both broke it off. The pact is for something meaningful and clever. For example, if I made a pact with Henry Jr, we have to do something fun like basketball. It's not for relationships that stay longer like yours. The relationships are very sacred and it can be easy to break a bond. Don't get offended because I know about relationships. I had experiences before. So, your pact with Regina didn't work because something happened." The blonde woman knew Regina's story before they arrived at the place to have a dinner with her family but didn't push Regina's buttons to tell a whole story. She knew that she let her brunette girlfriend tell her story and it was not her place to tell it.
Regina looked at her girlfriend and squeezed her hand as a thank you. Cora was relieved that Emma knew the story and didn't tell what happened between Kathryn and her daughter. Henry Sr. mentally praised the blonde woman's pride to not blurt it out about the old relationship. The brunette man smiled at his mother and nodded at Emma who was catching a glimpse of his lip-reading, 'thank you'.
Kathryn nodded with a forced smile. The brunette woman looked back at her ex-girlfriend. Henry Jr. was still watching the scene between the blonde women. Emma was forking her piece of the vegetarian dish and knew that it would bring the more tension. Cora and Henry Sr. looked back and forth to the blonde women. The blonde woman clasped her fingers while putting her elbows on the table and looked at Regina's girlfriend in the eyes then replied.
"Wow, you are very intelligent. I don't see why Regina like you so much or choose you because of your poor life being an orphan. Please don't feel bad for yourself. What made you contribute to her beside the terms – girlfriends between you both?"
Regina gripped tightly on their hands. Emma felt it and squeezed twice to calm her brunette girlfriend. The brunette man looked at the blonde woman beside him. The elder man knew something about Kathryn Nolan and immediately knew why he didn't like her much since they met her in the first year in the college with his daughter.
"I contribute my love to her. I care about her son and family included her. I make sure that she has more opportunities to get to know about my city and even me. Also, I know her a little by little in our conversation. I am pleased that Regina grew up to be a beautiful lady I have ever seen in my whole life. I know that I'm lucky to have her on my side. So, what have you contributed to Regina since you used to be together?" Emma explained while keeping her control inside herself. Kathryn laughed and replied.
"Regina and I had something special between us long time ago. I believed it was the amazing times of our life."
"Really? Tell me then?" The blonde woman responded while rubbing her thumb on Regina's hand. The brunette woman tried to control herself but her parents knew that she had a bad temper. Henry Sr. gave his wine glass to his daughter and nodded toward the glass. Regina grabbed her father's wine glass and downed it all. Henry Jr. was surprised that his mom drank it all in one swing. Emma squeezed hers once again. Cora tried to warn Regina but her husband shook his head to let Regina have it. Kathryn glanced over her ex-girlfriend and smirked then muttered.
"We had the best times together and fooled around with each other. Oh, I have to tell you, the other night while we were in our graduate school, Regina was stressed on her school work and she came home to me. Of course, a sweet boy, Henry Jr went with his friends. So, she closed the door behind her. I was there on the couch and nursing myself to drink a red wine for a night. Regina grabbed my wine and downed it all then asked me to get her stress off from the school work. Until, we ended up on the bed lastly. It was an amazing time. She came for more and more. I couldn't give her more but I ended doing it for her. We enjoyed it, don't you Regina?"
The elders froze when they heard Kathryn telling about Regina's sex encounter with her that night. Emma felt her fire starting to boil while she was hearing the blonde woman's story. The brunette woman clenched her free hand around the wine glass. The elder man looked at his daughter's hand and went to unclasp her hand off then put the wine glass on the table. Cora was concerned with her daughter. Kathryn mischievously smirked at the blonde woman while she sipped her wine. Henry Jr. went horrified when he heard about her mother having a sex with Kathryn and yelled.
"My ears bleed! Oh my god! I can't stand hearing your story about fucking my mom. I'm outta here!" The brunette man walked off from the dining room to the backyard near the lake. Others looked at him except Regina. The brunette woman got up and spoke with a sneer to her ex-girlfriend.
"You are over-crossing the line. I swear that I wanted to slap your mouth. You made me feel angry toward you. Why are you here exactly!?"
"Why, of course, I wanted to see you and work out on our relationship. That's why I wanted to talk to you in private." Kathryn said. Regina glared at her ex-girlfriend and replied.
"You and your fantasies need to stop right now. I want nothing to do with our relationship or you. I don't want you at all. We have nothing to talk in the private. Remember that you and I broke it off years ago. It's too late. I have my girlfriend who is beside me right now and I'm happy with my relationship. How dare you to tell our story about our past! I promise you that I never want to see you again since you are here to get me back with you. This never happens."
Emma stared at the blonde woman and got up to whisper into her brunette girlfriend. Cora and Henry Sr. gaped open when they heard their daughter speaking with the harsh voice. They didn't hear it before in their life and knew that Regina was a caring person with a big heart. Kathryn held her tears and stared at her brunette ex-girlfriend while she heard the words from her.
"Regina, go after your son." The blonde woman repeated her words to Regina and looked at Cora with a reply.
"Cora, go with Regina to see Henry Jr. Mr. Mills and I will take care of this one." The elder man looked at his wife and nodded. Cora got up and squeezed Emma's forearm then went to collect her daughter away from the dining room to the backyard to find Henry Jr. It left Henry Sr., Emma and Kathryn alone in the dining room.
The blonde woman looked back at Kathryn and palmed her hands on the table while she was leaning forward to face her with a reply. The elder man looked at Emma with his curiosity. Kathryn looked back at her again with her sneer.
"Now, you ruined the dinner. I assumed that you were here for getting Regina back. That would never happen. I know Regina a bit but she said that so. Just leave her family included her alone. If you have any plans to get her back, I promise you that I would search for you no matter if I get tired or not. Your presence disgusted me more since I met you today. Regina doesn't want a relationship with you at all. She is happy with me because I understood how she has her bad days. I'm lucky to have her in my life be included in her family. I feel welcome and cherished around them. Now, you have nothing. It's your past and let her go. Is it clear?"
The blonde woman clenched her fists and got up then retorted with a harsh word. Henry Sr. gaped open while Emma had her powerful message for Kathryn and went impressive. Emma forced her smile at her while listening to the blonde woman's voice.
"I understand it very clearly but I loved her and still do today since we broke it off. It's my fault I let her go. Also, this time, I won't let her go at all and I regretted it."
"Well, you have a word to yourself. It's all about you. You focused on yourself too much since you didn't pay attention to Regina and Henry in your relationship. Therefore, you lost it and I have her. I don't treat her like my possession. I treat her like my queen. You have no rights to have her while you are battling with me. Be serious and just let Regina go. I won't make it worse. I think, no, I meant I know that you are going crazy with your plans. I am not sure about your mind. For Regina, she has a right to say no to that plan you made for her. So, get out of here before I call the cops on you." Emma murmured with a forced smile.
"Gladly." Kathryn retorted with a sneer. Regina, Cora, Henry Jr. and Henry Sr. gaped open while they focused on Emma's lecture. The brunette woman closed her mouth and ran toward her girlfriend. Emma looked at her brunette girlfriend and opened her arms to her. Regina clasped her arms around the blonde woman and hid her face on the crook of Emma's neck. The blonde woman looked at her ex-girlfriend and saw how Regina loved Emma then let her tears flow on her cheeks. The blonde woman looked back at Kathryn while rubbing her brunette girlfriend's back.
Others looked at the blonde woman and waited for her spat but it never happened in the dining room. Kathryn looked at them and left the dining room. Emma looked at them and gave a smile. They heard the front door slamming and it echoed through the walls. Regina tightened her hold and murmured.
"Thank you, Emma."
"You are welcome, babe." Emma kissed on the brown locks while comforting her in their embrace. The elders nodded at the blonde woman. Henry Jr. walked toward them and hugged them altogether. Others chuckled at the brunette man. Emma kissed on his forehead and squeezed him around her right arm.
After the dinner fiasco with Kathryn, Emma decided it was time for her to leave. Cora, Henry Sr. embraced her with the kisses on her cheeks. Henry Jr. gave her a hug and kissed on the blonde woman's cheek. Lastly, Regina walked her blonde girlfriend out to the motorcycle and they embraced together with a long-lasting kiss. Emma smiled and put her helmet on then drove away to get home.
A/N: As your information: I'm finishing on some stories: Fate Must Be Bitch!, Regina's Coffee Shop, Roommates, The Tunnel of The Darkness and The Beauty of The Ballet.
These stories I mentioned above are just few chapters short so, I decided to complete them before I start with 'My Emma Swan', 'The Music of Romantics', 'The Soundless Voice', 'The Sounds of the Guitar' and 'Love Mends A Broken Heart' for the longest chapters (updates).
For 'Regina & Emma', the Season TWO will be up after the longest stories.
