I'm just gonna say, this is my favourite prompt on the list. It's nothing but crack but I had fun writing it.


Prompt: "I waxed the floors, grab your fluffy socks!"

Summary: Regina returns home to find Emma and Henry sliding across the foyer.

Rainy Day Fun

The last thing Regina expected to find when she entered the mansion was Emma Swan in socked feet, hurtling toward her with careless abandon. Well, perhaps not the last thing. This was Emma, after all.

"Hey, Gina!" the blonde greeted enthusiastically, halting her forward momentum just before crashing into the brunette.

"What is going on?" Regina enquired, her voice somewhere between shock and rage.

"I waxed the floors, grab your fluffy socks!"

"You...what?"

"Mom, watch this!" Henry's voice carried through the foyer as he started running.

"Henry!" Regina yelled, her heart leaping into her throat when the boy lost his balance and slid into a wall.

"You okay, kid?" Emma laughed, seemingly not the least bit concerned for their son's safety.

"Yup!" Henry grinned, jumping up and returning to his starting point.

"Miss Swan, if you do not explain yourself immediately, I swear I'll-"

"Destroy my happiness if it's the last thing you do?" Emma snorted, placing a quick kiss to Regina's nose. "Damn, you're cute when you try to go all Evil Queen. Besides, you can't destroy my happiness without destroying yours, too."

"It's a risk I am willing to take at the moment." Regina retorted, trying hard not be swayed by the other woman's charm. "Now explain."

"Relax, Gina. The kid was bummed because it's been raining all day so I figured this would be a good way to keep him occupied while using up his energy. Win, win."

"Let me see if I understand this. Of all the things you could possibly come up with to keep a twelve-year-old occupied, this is your first instinct?"

"Actually, my first instinct was to teach him some magic, but-"

"Emma!"

"Chill, I was only joking." Emma threw up her hands in a defensive manner but Regina could see a smirk on her face.

"That wasn't funny, nor is this little game of yours. What if one of you gets hurt?"

"Magic, Regina." Emma rolled her eyes as if she believed the brunette was the one who'd lost her mind. "I put a spell on the room to make it kid-safe. The walls and floor are like rubber now."

"Well, that's something, at least." she conceded, cringing when Henry once again launched himself across the room. Thankfully, he managed to stay upright this time. "But why this? What made you think of it?"

"It's something we used to do in one of my foster homes to pass the time. Could'a used the magic back then, though." Emma shrugged, pulling Regina further into the foyer. "C'mon, Gina, it's fun."

"I doubt it." the brunette sighed in defeat. "And stop calling me Gina. You know how much I hate that."

"Liar." Emma grinned, seeing right through the other woman, as usual. "I promise it's safe. All you need are the right socks."

"Sorry, dear, I don't own fluffy socks." Regina knew it was a weak excuse but she really did not want to play slip-and-slide across the floor...right?

"That's just sad," Emma responded in a disheartened voice before letting loose another brilliant smile. "Well, you'll just have to borrow a pair of mine."

"Emma, I don't think-" Regina's argument was cut short with a squeal as she felt her leather pumps being magically removed. She lost her balance and fell right into Emma's waiting arms.

"I got ya."

"You're an idiot." Regina straightened with as much poise as she could muster, her eyes trailing down to take in the annoyingly comfortable socks now adorning her feet. "Yellow? You just had to choose yellow, didn't you?"

"They suit you." Emma's eyes twinkled as she continued to pull Regina's strangely unresisting body. "Hey, kid! Make room for your moms."

"No way!" Henry goggled at Regina in disbelief.

"Emma, I swear-"

Emma cut her off with a firm kiss and Regina found herself slowly melting into it. When the blonde finally pulled back, she framed the brunette's face and sent her another dazzling smile. "Trust me."

Regina stared into Emma's beseeching eyes and wondered if arguing would even be worth it. Who was she kidding? She was going to give in and they both knew it. Dammit!

"Fine." she sighed again, at least attempting to sound put upon.

"You heard the lady, kid." Emma said as she dragged Regina over to Henry.

"Wait, I wanna record this." the boy smirked and pulled out his phone.

"Don't you dare." Regina warned but, once again, knew it would do her no good. Why was she so susceptible to their charm?

"Okay, Gina, hold on to me this first time."

"I can't believe I'm doing this."

"I won't let you get hurt, I promise." Emma sent her a serious look as she grasped Regina's hand in her own and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "Trust me?"

"Yes." Regina answered immediately, unquestioningly, as they continued to stare into each other's eyes. The former queen knew she was a lost cause when it came to the younger woman. She was irrevocably and irreversibly in love with Emma Swan and she was surprisingly okay with that.

"C'mon, Moms, stop the goo-goo eyes and get sliding! You're wasting my battery."

"Okay, kid." Emma rolled her eyes with a laugh. "Ready, Gina?"

"As I'll ever be." The brunette shook her head, tightening her hold on Emma's hand.

"On three." the blonde told her before looking away. "One, two, three!"

"Emma." Regina squealed as she felt herself being lifted into strong arms as the other woman took off across the room. Her own arms wound themselves around Emma's neck, holding on for dear life. She was not at all prepared when Emma appeared to lose her balance and toppled them to the floor, making certain Regina landed squarely in her lap.

"Oh, man, that was awesome!" Henry grinned from the other end of the foyer. "You guys okay?"

"Never better, kid." Emma winked, wrapping her arms securely around Regina's waist as the brunette tried to stand.

"Cool." he remarked absently as his attention returned to his phone, replaying the video. "This is great!"

"Henry, I want you to delete that right this minute." Regina scolded, giving up her futile attempt to regain any semblance of dignity.

"Aw, Mom." the boy pouted but his eyes brightened when he caught a glimpse out the window. "Hey, it stopped raining! I'm going to Grandma and Grandpa's. They're gonna flip when I show them this."

"Henry!" Regina yelled but it was too late.

"I'll text when I get there. Love you guys!" Henry shouted as he grabbed his jacket and bolted from the house.

"Let it go, Gina." Emma laughed, nuzzling her face into the older woman's neck.

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this. Your mother will never let me live it down."

"I'll protect you from Snow White." Emma murmured as she trailed kisses up Regina's neck to her chin.

"This isn't funny, Em." the brunette said on a moan, moving her head to allow the younger woman better access. "Your mother-"

"Gina, can we not talk about my mother right now? The kid's gone and I think it's time for us to have our own rainy day fun."

"But it's no longer raining." Regina pointed out.

"Are you seriously gonna argue over a silly detail like that right now?"

"Well, what do you have in mind?"

Emma grinned and, without another word, transported them upstairs. Nether woman noticed when it started raining again.

The End
