A/N: I'm sorry I skipped last week but in my defence…I've had a breakdown every day this week because of work. This chapter is mostly filler and shenanigans as a result of a shitty week. I hope I can give you guys better content soon. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this chapter! Please let me know what you think.
As soon as they all walked into the house, they were greeted by a panicked-looking Ruby.
"Hey." Emma said, "Thanks for watching her ag-"
"Emma we have a problem." Ruby cut her off.
"Is everything okay?" Regina asked, now equally panicked.
"No. No it is not okay. Nothing is okay." Ruby said.
"Oh my God, is she hurt?!" Regina panicked.
"No." Ruby shook her head. "She's fucking flying."
"Oh God not again." Emma groaned.
"It's the magic you two were sparking off earlier." Amorie rolled her eyes. "Where am I?"
"Trippy question." Ruby said. "Upstairs in your room, Belle is watching you but she's freaking out."
"I got me." Amorie said, jogging up the stairs to handle the situation.
"It's so nice that she can literally babysit herself." Regina said.
"She's still hellbent on not changing her own diaper though." Emma said. "I'm hoping she grows out of that one."
"Hey guys, now that we're not having as big of an Amorie crisis as we thought, can we go back to saving the future please?" Henry asked.
"Of course." Regina raised a brow at him. "You're very dedicated to this cause, aren't you?"
"Let's see, I become the author, I get to realm-hop for a living, and I apparently get a really hot wife at some point-"
"What!?" both his mothers exclaimed.
"I absolutely want a future where I'm guaranteed to get laid." Henry nodded, getting a snort from Ruby and a glare from his mothers.
"This kid has his priorities straight!" Ruby said.
"I'll thank you not to corrupt both my children, Ruby." Regina rolled her eyes. "There's a reason the one you're only mildly allowed to corrupt is the one that's still in diapers."
"Speaking of which, I'm going to go check on her." Emma said before she turned back on her heel. "Hang on, Henry, how do you know you get married?"
"My sister jumped twenty years into the past, ma, how do you think I know?" Henry said, giving her an eye roll that reminded her way too much of her fiancée.
"I did not spend hours in pain bringing you into this world just for you to sass me, boy." Emma poked his chest and then flicked his nose when he looked down at her hand. She turned around again and climbed up the stairs to check on their baby daughter.
"If it's any consolation I find it entertaining when she gets sassed by you, it's a lot less work for me." Regina kissed his temple. "But do tone it down, dear, you're starting to sound like a stereotypical teenager."
"Okay mom." he grumbled.
"My point." Regina gave him a pointed look before she heard a shout.
"Holy shit!" Emma's voice came from upstairs.
"Oh no." Regina rushed up the stairs, Henry and Ruby on her tail. They both nearly bumped into her when she bumped into Emma, who was standing at the door of Amorie's nursery and looking up in shock.
Not only was baby Amorie floating around happily, but now grown up Amorie was floating right next to her, her legs crossed like she was sitting on the floor and watching the baby version of herself as she played with her favourite stuffed pony.
"A-Amorie." Regina tried gently, her hands going over to Emma's shoulders to steady the seemingly panicked blonde.
"Yeah mom?" Amorie answered casually, catching the stuffed pony when the baby version of herself threw it her way.
"Why are you floating?" Regina asked.
"Hmm?" Amorie looked down at them like she was confused as to which part of what she was doing was strange.
"Kid...we thought you were getting you down not...joining...yourself...up there." Emma shrugged.
"And I thought her referring to herself in the first person was trippy." Ruby rolled her eyes and looked over at her girlfriend, who still looked a little freaked out. "We're going to have our hands full."
"And our ceilings, apparently." Belle said. "At least we can train her to reach the high shelves."
"You're not training my daughter to be your lackey." Regina said sternly.
"Oh my God this really isn't the time." Emma sighed. "Amorie, could you and...you...get down please?"
"Guys, would you calm down?" Amorie chuckled as she played with baby-her. "I levitate at this age when there's excess magic in my system. You have to let me just...ride it out. I'll start to slowly descend as the magic gets used up."
"Well that makes a lot of sense." Regina said.
"It does?" Emma muttered.
"Hush." Regina sighed. "But sweetheart...I'm not entirely comfortable just letting you float up there."
"Also do you make a high pitched squeaking sound when you descend, like a balloon?" Emma asked.
"Hush." Regina said again in a stern voice.
"It's okay, I'll just stay up here with myself till I come down." Amorie said.
"That's a comforting idea." Regina said. "Any tips on how to handle this safely when you go back to your time?"
"Ma learns how to levitate." Amorie said. "Well, she learns it first."
"I what?" Emma scoffed a chuckle.
"What do you mean she learns it first?!" Regina said, mildly offended.
"Well…" Amorie gave her mother a wary look. "You had to get over your fear of heights."
"I am not afraid of heights, I ride horses for God's sake." Regina rolled her eyes.
"Babe...you hesitate to get down when you climb up on a chair to reach something in the top cabinet." Emma pointed out.
"Oh yeah." Henry piped up. "Remember back when you guys met? You hated each other, but mom asked ma to grab the ladder and get my frisbee down from the roof, even though she hated her guts. She hated heights more."
"Aww, babe." Emma said, a grin on her face. "You tolerated me more than heights, even when you hated me the most!"
"You find that flattering?" Ruby asked.
"Kind of?" Emma shrugged. "I mean in hindsight, with the whole 'meant to be' thing...maybe Regina just had a crush on me and didn't want to admit it."
"Sure, that's it." Regina rolled her eyes before looking up at her daughter again. "So you're saying levitating is a common occurrence in your childhood?"
"Oh yeah." Amorie nodded. "It takes a lot of inner peace to be able to levitate. So it's really common now in my younger years when I have less to care about."
"I mean, if a kid doesn't even have to worry about going to the bathroom." Emma shrugged. "I'd be pretty peaceful in a diaper."
"I am not validating that statement with a response." Regina shook her head.
"As I grow up it's a lot less common though, cause life's a bitch." Amorie shrugged.
"I hear that." Ruby nodded.
"Bish!" baby Amorie giggled.
"That reminds me." Regina glared at Ruby. "You and I need to have a little talk."
Ruby gulped. "Something tells me it's not going to end in tears and hugs like our last one did."
"Hugs, no." Regina narrowed her eyes at the werewolf. "Jury's not out on the tears yet."
Ruby squeaked and tried to make herself smaller as Regina turned back to her daughter. Amorie rolled her eyes.
"When I grow up, I manage to hone it as a skill that I can do on command. It takes a lot of meditation. But I'm still prone to random floating when I'm excessively happy or excited. I literally flew in through your bedroom window to tell you guys that I got engaged. I scared the hell out of ma, Meg thought it was hilarious." Amorie explained. "Don't worry so much about it guys, you'll learn a lot in the next year."
"I think we're learning a lot now." Emma said.
"Well there you go then." Amorie shrugged. "Maybe this is where the learning experience starts."
"Maybe." Regina said. "Do be careful up there dear, it's all fun and games until either version of you breaks a bone."
"I promise mom." Amorie smiled at her. "Don't worry so much."
"I'll try." Regina said.
"Don't hold your breath though kid." Ruby teased. Regina turned and glared at her and then, like a flash of lightning, grabbed her by the ear.
"You and I need to have a word."
"Owowowowowow!" Ruby whimpered. "Belle, if you never see me again know that I love you!"
"If I never see you again - I warned you not to swear around the baby!" Belle called back. "And I love you too, I suppose…"
"My office Ms. Lucas, right now." Regina tugged at the werewolf's ear again.
"Bi-OW!" Ruby's cursing was interrupted by a yelp of pain. "How is someone so tiny so damned strong? Jesus!"
"You're not gonna try to stop her?" Henry asked Emma.
"And face that wrath myself? Hell no." Emma scoffed. "Besides, Regina's hot when she's all authoritative."
"Gross." all of the three grown-ups in the room remarked.
"Bish!" baby Amorie cheered. Emma rolled her eyes and looked up at both versions of her still floating daughter, noting that they were now at a slightly lower height.
"Kid, do me a favour, teach yourself a new word." she said.
"I'll try." Amorie chuckled.
"Thanks, we'll see you downstairs." Emma said, leading her son and Belle back down stairs where Regina had, hopefully, not skinned Ruby alive.
15 minutes later…
Henry, Belle, and Emma were standing silently in the foyer in front of Regina's home study, listening to the muffled yelling that was coming from behind the closed door, all with their arms crossed awkwardly over their chests, when Zelena walked into the house.
"Hello." she said to the three of them.
"Hi." Emma whispered back.
"Why are we all standing here?" Zelena asked.
"Mom is yelling at Ruby." Henry said.
"Why?"
"Because Ruby accidentally taught Amorie how to say 'bitch'" Emma said.
"She's twenty-two, she doesn't know how to say 'bitch' yet?" Zelena asked in confusion.
"Not future Amorie, baby Amorie." Emma rolled her eyes.
"Ah. I see." Zelena nodded, cringing when the yelling seemingly got louder, though thanks to the closed door, they still couldn't tell what exactly was being said.
Another 15 minutes later…
The door to the study opened and everyone held their breaths a little.
Ruby stepped out, her head down, and immediately went over to Belle.
"Are you okay?" Belle asked.
"She wasn't as brutal as I thought she would be." Ruby shrugged.
"Then why is your face so red?"
"Because...I didn't expect to be this turned on while being yelled at." Ruby blushed even further.
"Oh God." Belle rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry!" Ruby sighed. "It's Regina…"
"I know, I know 'who isn't turned on by her'" Belle gave her girlfriend a teasing smirk. "Do you need me to take you home?"
Ruby shook her head. "I'm fine. I just…need to use the restroom for a sec."
The werewolf went off in the direction of the bathroom, with Belle on her tail.
"Was I too hard on her?" Regina asked her fiancée.
"Well there was one moment I thought you were a second away from fireballing her." Emma said. "What did you say to her anyway?"
"That she needs to be responsible and that maybe swearing isn't that big of a deal in her day-to-day life but it can get a child who doesn't understand what she's saying into quite a bit of trouble in places such as school." Regina shrugged.
"...did you have to say it so loudly?" Emma teased.
"I wanted to get my point across." Regina said, looking over to her sister. "Hi Zee."
"Hello, little sis."
"I told you not to call me that." Regina rolled her eyes.
"How did you get on with finding the author?" Zelena asked. "And where are the Amories?"
"Wow, Ruby was right this is getting trippy." Emma said.
"Big Amorie is upstairs with little Amorie." Regina said. "And we found how to get him here, we just...haven't gotten to it yet."
"Well what are you waiting for?" Zelena asked.
"For our baby to stop freaking levitating for one." Emma rolled her eyes.
"Again?!" Zelena asked.
"She did this to you, too?" Regina asked.
"Yes, I had to get up on my broom to get her." Zelena rolled her eyes. "She seemed to enjoy it so I took her for a flight around town. She went right to sleep after. Easiest way of putting her down."
"And you elected to withhold this information from me because…" Regina gave her sister a glare.
"Because you'd look at me like that." Zelena poked her sister's nose, getting Regina to pull away from her and glare at her even harder. "You have a magic baby, Regina, what were you expecting?"
"Flying isn't in our genes!" Regina exclaimed.
"Yes it is." Zelena rolled her eyes. "I fly on a broom and don't you remember when you were taking me down? You were floating at least one foot of the ground...albeit unsteadily."
"Aww, you admitted we took you down." Emma gushed.
"Well, almost anyway." Zelena flipped her hair.
"That was only happening because I was experiencing light magic for the first time, it doesn't mean anything." Regina rolled her eyes.
"Yes it does." Zelena said. "Light magic is what brings you the inner peace needed to fly."
"How do you know about this and I don't?!" Regina said, looking offended.
"I learned about it when I was in that Witches Sisterhood in Oz." Zelena shrugged. "They also taught me how to enchant something to fly. I used my broom to practice and then things got a little...well...green. So that's why I use the broom now, because it's the only thing I have left that can fly."
Regina shook her head. "You still should have told me."
"Us." Emma corrected quietly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to worry you unnecessarily. You have enough on your plate." Zelena said. Regina sighed and looked at her for a moment.
"Apology accepted." she said. "But next time-"
"I will tell you about anything new regarding her magic." Zelena said.
"Thank you." Regina nodded.
"The baby has landed!" adult Amorie announced as she came down the stairs, holding the baby version of herself up victoriously.
"Oh thank God." Regina said, rushing over to her and taking little Amorie in her arms. "You had mommy worried."
"Boobie!" the toddler announced.
"What?!" Regina's eyes went wide and then whipped over to the adult version of her daughter.
"Oh crap." Amorie groaned. "I was trying to teach myself names. I figured starting with Ruby was best because how long can I keep calling her puppy?"
"As long as you like really." Ruby shrugged.
"I didn't think about toddlers having issues with Rs at my age." Amorie sighed. "Sorry mom."
"So she's going to go around calling everyone 'boobie' now?" Emma asked.
"Mama!" Amorie said as soon as she caught sight of the blonde.
"I guess not?" Regina asked.
"Wait. give her here." Zelena said, taking the child out of Regina's arms and holding her out in front of Ruby.
"Boobie!" the toddler announced excitedly.
"Seriously?!" Ruby gawked, rolling her eyes and looking at the adult version of her goddaughter. "I preferred puppy."
"I suppose this is adequate payback for teaching my daughter to say 'bitch.'" Regina shrugged.
"Bish!" the toddler repeated.
"Hah!" Ruby pointed at her accusingly.
"Boobie!" little Amorie said as she pointed at Ruby.
"Hah!" Regina mocked back.
"The child officially has more vocabulary than you do in this conversation." Zelena rolled her eyes and pulled her niece closer. "Say 'green'"
"Gweem."
"Close enough. You'll get there my little pretty." the redhead fussed over her.
"Hey, Amorie, can you say 'guys can we please get back to saving the future?'" Henry pretended to ask the toddler enthusiastically. She stared at him in wonder and silence for a moment.
"Bish."
"Agreed." adult Amorie rolled her eyes. "I'm not even two yet."
"I wasn't being serious about her saying it." Henry rolled his eyes. "But we do need to get back to it. You were hopping off the walls wanting to get back home to you fiance, whoever he is."
"Didn't I tell you it's a woman?" Amorie asked.
"Oh. right."
"Yes!" Ruby cheered, hugging the adult version of Amorie. "I've taught you so well. I bet you're a hit with the ladies like your good ol' godmother, huh kid?"
"She made the first move, I blushed and giggled like an idiot." Amorie shrugged. "She's very smooth."
"Hmm." Ruby narrowed her eyes at her.
"You did help me lose my virginity though." Amorie smile at her.
"She did what?!" Regina glared at the werewolf.
"Kid, one of these days you're going to get me skinned alive." Ruby muttered at her.
"Yeah probably shouldn't have blurted that one out."
"You think?"
"Miss. Lucas." Regina growled at her.
"No way! Nuh-uh! You cannot get mad at me for something I didn't do yet." Ruby said.
"You wanna bet?" Regina challenged.
"Emma, a little help here?"
"How old were you?" Emma asked Amorie.
"Eighteen. And I was in college. And it was...like...really good." Amorie blushed a little.
"Babe, I think we can let this one go." Emma said to Regina.
"Are you serious?!" Regina glared at the blonde. "What if she said it was horrible? Or that she got pregnant?"
"Then I would have made a note in my diary to punch Ruby's lights out in about sixteen years." Emma shrugged.
"Rude." Ruby stated. "I would have given her condoms."
"It wasn't a guy what part of this gay thing is confusing to you people?" Amorie rolled her eyes.
"Oh." everyone let out.
"Sorry." Ruby shrugged. "That explains why it was so good though."
"Can we stop talking about my sex life please?"
"Can we go back to saving mine, please?" Henry held up the key to show what he meant.
"What?" Belle chuckled.
"Something about him getting a wife in the future." Regina shrugged.
"You dawg." Ruby bumped his shoulder.
"We're proud of you, Henry." Belle said.
"You talk to your aunt Zee if you ever need lady advice alright?"
"Sure, as the single one." Ruby rolled her eyes.
"I've also travelled quite a bit...and had a few people warming my bed."
"Gross!" Amorie and Henry covered their ears.
"Enough. Everyone." Regina sighed. "We've gone so horribly off track we're on a different train entirely."
"Well maybe I could think if I wasn't so damn exhausted." Emma sighed, rubbing her eyes. Regina frowned and looked at the time. They'd been going non stop for ages and it was late.
"You're right." the brunette said with a sigh. "We need to get some rest, otherwise we'll be useless when we do actually get to the future."
Ruby placed a hand on Regina's shoulder and gave her a gentle smile. "Do you want me to go to the diner and grab you guys some dinner?"
"If I had the energy to cook I'd say there's no need but-" Regina said, but Ruby lifted a hand up and shook her head.
"Say no more, I got you." Ruby smiled at her. "What are best friends for?"
"You're Emma's best friend." Regina said with a teasing smirk.
"And you're her fiancée, genius, at the very least you're best friend adjacent." Ruby nudged her shoulder. "You guys go take a hot shower and relax. I'll be here soon with dinner for everyone."
"I'll give Amorie her bath." Zelena said.
"I don't need help, Aunt Zee, thanks." Amorie said.
"Not you, silly." Zelena said, rocking the younger version of amorie gently in her arms.
"Oh, right, mini me. Sorry." Amorie shrugged.
"Go on, you guys rest." Belle said.
"Thank you, all of you." Regina said.
"That's what family is for, sis." Zelena said as she balanced little Amorie on her hip.
"I'll try and get the healthiest food we have in the diner." Ruby said.
"Oh don't bother, I haven't craved a burger this badly since I was pregnant." Regina said, getting gawked at.
"That may be my fault." Emma said. "I'm seriously craving a burger. It could be radiating to Regina."
"Ugh great, now I'm craving one too." Amorie rolled her eyes.
"I'm craving one just because you guys are talking about burgers!" Henry said.
"Kid, you're always craving burgers." Ruby messed his hair up as she passed by. "Four cheese burgers?"
"Bacon on mine please?" Henry asked.
"Would you get me a root beer?" Regina asked.
"I'm falling in love all over again." Emma said, getting a wink from the brunette.
"Throw in a barf bag while you're at it?" Amorie quipped.
"Four cheese burgers, one with bacon, I'll get you all root beers and the hose for Emma." Ruby recited. "I'll be an hour at most."
"You're the best dude." Emma said.
"You'd be lost without me." Ruby grinned, digging into her pocket and then her eyes going wide. "Shit. Where are my keys?!"
A jingle. "You mean these?"
Ruby looked at Belle and sighed in relief. "Thanks babe."
"Who'd be lost without who?" the bookworm asked as she walked out the door.
"Have I mentioned that I love you?"
"Mmmhm."
"They are just as bad as we are." Regina said.
"Which means they're a great pair." Emma said, wrapping her arm around Regina's waist.
"Gross." Amorie grumbled. "Guys, I can feel whatever you're feeling, remember?"
"I liked her better when she was shitting herself." Emma quipped.
"Oh, eww!" Zelena exclaimed suddenly, holding baby Amorie out at arm's length and cringing. "Whatever makes you think she stopped?"
"Gonna go shower." Henry ran up the stairs, obviously to avoid changing his sister's diaper.
"Uhhhhh me too!" adult Amorie followed him.
"Hey Regina I think we can save water if we share." Emma suggested, high-tailing it after her children.
"Good idea." Regina ran after her.
"Regina! You cannot abandon me with a dirty diaper like this!" Zelena protested.
"Hey Zee, will you be my maid of honor?" Regina asked, stopping in her tracks.
"Are you serious?" Zelena froze.
"Of course." Regina shrugged.
"I...I'd be honoured!" Zelena beamed.
"Wonderful, we can talk dress ideas when you're finished changing Amorie." Regina said, disappearing up the stairs.
"Of course! I'd love to! I-..." Zelena froze again. "Wait a god-damned minute."
"Bish!" baby-Amorie responded.
"You're telling me." Zelena sighed. "Oh come on then, you smelly little thing...let's hope the contents of your diaper aren't my favourite colour, that would ruin it for me."
"Oh man." Emma collapsed into bed beside Regina. "I had no idea Ruby was getting the monster sized burgers Granny's trying out."
"You could have stopped any time." Regina teased.
"And waste a perfectly good burger? Come on, Regina, there's kids dying in Africa." Emma said.
"And giving yourself a coronary due to high cholesterol helps them how?" Regina raised a brow at her.
"No idea." Emma sighed. "And I'm too tired to think of the kind of ridiculous response you'd come to expect from me."
"Is this what they mean when they say 'lesbian bed death'?" Regina teased again, getting Emma to snort.
"I'm sure having a daughter who starts sparking off magic when we get it on doesn't help." the blonde said.
"I've been thinking about that, actually." Regina said.
"Oh?" Emma raised a brow at her.
"Yes...and I'm wondering what would happen if only one of us didn't have magic?" the brunette asked.
"Well if one of us doesn't have magic then the other's magic has nothing to combine with." Emma shrugged. "At least I think it doesn't. Why?"
"Obviously having a suppressing spell would be ideal, but knowing that we learn it in the next year or so doesn't particularly reveal too much." Regina said. "And the idea of potentially spending a year not having sex with you is…"
"I would rather eat a box of rusty nails." Emma said.
"Exactly." Regina chuckled. "So I was thinking...what about the cuff?"
"The cuff?" Emma asked. "You mean the one that blocks magic? The one you used on Zelena when she came here?"
"Exactly." Regina nodded. "One of us could wear it. I can't be a hundred percent certain that it will work but, it's worth a shot, isn't it?"
"I agree." Emma nodded. "But I'll be the one who wears it."
"Oh?" Regina raised a brow at her.
"You've had magic for a lot longer than I have. You know how to control it better...but I think it would also affect you worse than it would me to block it." Emma reasoned.
"That's very sweet." Regina said. "But you've still got so much to develop when it comes to your magic, I don't want to stunt that for the sake of our sex-life."
"Baby, come on." Emma scoffed. "We're powerful enough to make a baby together out of magic alone, I think my magic development will be fine."
"Okay." Regina chuckled. "Either way, this will have to wait."
"Yeah." Emma sighed, laying back down and sighing thoughtfully.
"What's on your mind?" Regina asked.
"This whole future thing." Emma said. "I'm just...nervous."
"Are you worried you won't find me attractive twenty years from now?" Regina teased.
"Impossible." Emma rolled her eyes. "You and unattractive just...don't mix."
"I'm flattered." Regina smiled at her. "Then why are you nervous?"
"For a lot of reasons." Emma shrugged. "I mean it's dangerous, for one. That alone is scary enough as it is...And...We're going to meet Henry's wife, and Amorie's fiancée! I didn't really ask anything about the wife thing but...what if we meet our grandkid? And we're going to find out what happens with Ruby and Belle, and Zelena...and Neal! My baby brother is all grown up where we're going and...I'm just…"
Emma stopped, and Regina could practically feel the lump that was growing in her fiancée's throat.
"Emma?"
"These past two years have gone by so fast and I loved every minute of it." Emma looked at her, her green eyes shining thanks to the tears that watered them. "And I'm going to get a glimpse at to what the next twenty years have to offer and it's more of this."
Emma took Regina's hand gently over the soft white bed sheets. "More of us. And our kids and our life together. I guess it's just really hitting me hard that I actually have a future with you and it's not all some crazy pipe dream that I had as a kid while I stayed up way past lights out at the foster home."
"Emma." Regina smiled at her, pulling the blonde's hand up in her own and kissing it gently.
"And I'm terrified."
"Why?
"Because...what if we die?" Emma dropped, getting an almost startled look from Regina as the tears started spilling out of her eyes. "What if we die and I don't get to have that with you like I'm meant to? What if I lose you now and I don't get to have that future with you?"
"Oh, darling." Regina wrapped her free arm around Emma's shoulders and pulled her closer, pulling the blonde's head to rest on her chest and wrapping her up tightly in her arms. "It's okay. We'll be okay, Emma, we always have been."
"I'm just scared." Emma said, letting out a small sob.
"You're tired, my love, you've been thinking too hard about everything and now your mind is going into overdrive and you're too exhausted to stop it." Regina reasoned. "Just take a few deep breaths Emma."
On her chest and neck, Regina could feel the hot puffs of air, matching in rhythm with the rise and fall of Emma's back as she tried her best to calm herself down. "There you go, that's good. Keep breathing, sweetheart, I've got you."
"I love you." Emma said as she choked down a sob.
"I love you too, Emma." Regina reciprocated, shifting to press a kiss to Emma's forehead before she pulled her back in and held on tightly. "And I promise you, I'll go to hell and back before I let anyone rip us apart before we have a chance to live our future together. I fought tooth and nail to get my happy ending Emma, and now that I have you I'll be damned if I let anyone take you away from me. I promise you that."
She felt Emma's arms tighten around her, and that was enough of a response from the blonde. Regina said nothing more, she just gently ran her fingers through Emma's golden locks and let the younger woman calm down in her arms.
Emma had been silent for a while when Regina finally pulled back a little to look at her, only to find that Emma had been lulled to sleep. The brunette smiled gently at her, pressing a kiss to her forehead and pulling her closer again.
"Goodnight, my love." she said gently, closing her eyes and letting herself drift off to sleep as well.
