Disclaimer; Not my character yada yada

Time: Takes place roughly after Mary and David get together but before we meet Fredrick, then it goes AU. I was just so sick of how David treated Kathryn that I wanted something good to happen to her. Obviously the best thing I could come up with was a threesome. This was written before I knew about Fredrick who seems like a nice guy but I don't usually write het.

A/N: So I had a bunch of stuff that was laying on my hard drive gathering dust and in order to avoid doing real work I cleaned some up and decided to post. Enjoy!

XxXx

Emma hovered awkwardly at Granny's bar her hand ideally tapping on the counter as she tried to make up her mind. It was really none of her business, she should just walk away and let the obviously upset woman cry into her drink. Except it was kind of her fault since it was her roommate that Kathryn's husband left her for. The roommate that she might have encouraged to go after him despite the whole adultery angle.

It was too late to grow a conscience now but guilt ate at her none the less. She sighed before pushing away from the bar and making her way over to the booth that Kathryn sat in. The other woman was staring into her cocktail glass morosely swirling it every now and then her eyes far away. She wasn't crying right now, which Emma couldn't be more thankful for as she was bad with criers, but she looked like she had only recently stopped.

"Uh hey," Emma said as a great opening line giving a small wave "uh, I know we don't really know each other that well-"

"You're her roommate," Kathryn said her gaze was so intent it just fell short of a glare "and the new Sherriff. I voted for Sydney."

Emma nodded not quite knowing how to respond "yeah, I'm Emma, we met briefly at David's welcome...anyway, are you ok?"

Kathryn looked at her clearly stunned Emma's stupidity which made Emma wince. She was very familiar with that expression. Then Kathryn's face broke into a genuine laugh and she hung her head shaking it as her entire body rumbled with laughter.

Emma was expecting her to burst out into tears or have her laughter crumble into hysteria but Kathryn seemed honestly amused. Her laughter was a bit nasally but happy and nice. It didn't make Emma fell like she was the one being laughed at even though she kind of was.

"My husband just left after we agreed to attend counselling and try to work on our marriage, just after a pregnancy scare not to mention a few years separation by a coma and you're asking me if I'm ok?" Kathryn looked up at Emma still smiling.

Emma just gave her a helpless shrug.

Kathryn's face relaxed into a more serious expression and she looked out the window. It was getting dark earlier in the evenings as winter was settling in. "You're the only one who's asked me that. Everyone else just gives me pitying looks, even my friends all assume that they know how I feel," Kathryn said looking lost.

Emma couldn't help it. Kathryn looked so small in the booth that she slipped into the other side without thinking. "Hey," she said reaching across and squeezing the other woman's hand "I know we're not exactly friends but that might actually be a good thing. Sometimes talking to a stranger is better."

"Even when that stranger is the best friend of the woman my husband left me for," Kathryn raised her eyebrow in disbelief.

"Ok," Emma nodded her head widening her eyes in acknowledgement "that makes it a little awkward but I swear on my new shiny bag, which you didn't help me to get, that whatever you say stays between us."

"Like a priest?" Kathryn asked.

"Hell no," Emma snorted at the idea that she could even remotely be compared to someone with a vow of chastity. Seeing Kathryn's face she quickly added "more like a social worker or a therapist."

Kathryn laughed again "you going to ask me about my childhood issues?"

"I'm not a miracle worker lady," Emma teased "one thing at a time."

Kathryn grinned at her before frowning and looking away again. "I should be sadder," she confessed "the truth is that it didn't feel real to me either, he had been gone so long that I had already mourned. I thought he left me so I moved on. When he came back, he seemed like he needed me, I couldn't leave him. Some part of me was actually happy to have my David back. It felt like a clean slate you know?"

Emma nodded. She understood the desire to start afresh.

"He never came back though, not really. I tried so hard to make it work, I tried," Kathryn said her voice getting angrier at the end "he didn't he just kept pulling away and didn't even try. Was he so arrogant to think that he was all I wanted? No memories, no job and all the bad habits he had that nearly broke us up in the first place. He never asked me what I wanted, how I was feeling. But I was willing to try, we made a promise to each other 'in sickness and in health, good times and bad' you don't just walk away from that duty."

"It sounds like neither of you was very happy," Emma offered. The look she got in return was enough to make her wish she kept her mouth shut.

"Relationships have problems," Kathryn said but it seemed like she was quoting someone else "you don't walk away, you make it work. We're married; you don't break a contract like that lightly," she sighed "my friend should be coming any minute, she's taking me out to a 'real bar' so we can properly get over 'that bastard,'" Kathryn rolled her eyes as she quoted her friend "I think she was more upset at the break up than I was."

"It good that you have a friend willing to get you drunk," Emma said "if she's a real friend she'll also hold your hair back when you start throwing up."

Kathryn grimace not at all impressed with the imagine Emma created "I doubt that, I wouldn't want to wake up her son stumbling in late. She offered to let me move in with her since David wants me to sell the house."

Emma shifted uncomfortably, she hadn't heard that he was doing that.

"It was bought in his name and divorce is expensive even in these little towns," Kathryn frowned shaking her head "I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't want to intrude but I don't have the money to buy him out. He has no money at all since the work at the animal shelter is voluntary. I hope your friend is happy enough to keep him," and Kathryn did sound bitter at that.

"He's looking for another job," Emma said feeling like she needed defend Mary Margret's choice. "I didn't know about the house...I'm sorry."

Kathryn looked devastated "I loved that little house. I worked so hard to decorate it and keep it. We have this windmill, David hates it, he'll probably sell it or break it now. I hope whoever buys the house next will take care of my vegetable garden. I worked so hard to get the soil back to normal. The owner before us had con-concreted..." Kathryn broke off as her voice crumbled and she covered her eyes "sorry, hate thinking about it."

"What did you do now Ms Swan?" Regina glared at her setting her hand on Kathryn's shoulder her cheeks still pink from the cold outside.

"The friend you're waiting on is Regina?" Emma asked surprised and not a little disgusted.

"Yes Ms Swan, Kathryn and I are friends," Regina glared at her making no move to sit down or take off her coat "are you thinking of taking her from me also?"

"Well, I've already run out of men in your life," Emma snapped back.

Regina's nostrils flared and she looked murderous. Kathryn shot Emma an appalled looked making her realise the bitchy thing she had just said. She cleared her throat her cheeks flushing regretfully. Sometimes Regina just brought out her inner bitch. "Sorry," she mumbled.

"I have the babysitter until twelve," Regina said stiffly ignoring her apology and talking to Kathryn "we should get going."

"Right," Kathryn sighed picking up her bag and coat "thank you for listening Sherriff."

"Emma," She corrected.

"Thank you for listening, Emma," Kathryn repeated seeming to forgive her earlier rudeness.

"Why are you allowing her to listen?" She heard Regina asked petulantly as they walked to the door "I can listen. I'm a very good listener!"

"Especially when you keep talking," Kathryn teased her. Emma didn't hear Regina's response as the door swung shut. Emma watched them go wondering what to do with herself. She had done her good deed for the day so she could go home guilt free. She could go home and listen to Mary Margret and David having sex which they had been doing a lot now. Stupid Henry and his ideas, she got creeped out thinking about it since now she had the uncomfortable suggestion of them being her parents. Impossible since they were near the same age but the thought alone was enough to make her shudder.

"Another drink over here," she called finishing Kathryn's cocktail.

XxXx

"So the drinking went well?" Emma asked the next day as she found Kathryn in the corner store. She looked washed out and was sporting a pair of sunglass to combat the brightness of the shop. In her hand she desperately clutched a bottle of pain killers. She wasn't waiting until she got to the till and was wrestling with the top in the isle. Emma took them off her and opened it with a deft twist, she had become an expert at opening pill bottles hung over, sober it wasn't even a second thought. She could also stuff a six pack under her shirt and make it look like a convincing pregnancy bump.

"Thank you," Kathryn said with more gratitude than the simply act warranted. Emma grinned as the other woman took two straight from the bottle "it went well if you mean that I got drunk on three shots and a beer while Regina downed her entire body weight in alcohol and still carried me home by the end of the night."

Emma give a soft whistle "didn't take Regina for a drinker."

"She's not normally," Kathryn rushed to assure her "she doesn't get out a lot but when she does she has a near inhuman ability to hold her alcohol."

Emma grinned slightly impressed but realised she shouldn't be that surprised. The woman did distil her own cider. She had the insane urge to challenge Regina to a drinking contest but it would probably end in tears or bloodshed.

"I think she got more out of the night than I did, did you know that she can dance?" Kathryn smiled as they made their way to the till.

Emma shook her head "she never struck me as the dancing type. Most of the music I've hear her listening too has been classical, don't imagine you can do much grinding to that."

"Not grinding," Kathryn waved her hand dismissively "she really dances, none of that jumping up and down or flailing like an idiot that I do. She's really graceful. It was good to see her having so much fun."

"It sounds like you were watching out for her instead of the other way around," Emma said before turning to the shop keeper "Coffee, black and one of those cream doughnuts."

"No, Regina is a good friend she just tends to get easily side tracked when things don't directly relate to her. She offered to slash Mary Margret's tires for me," Kathryn smiled then looked alarmed when she realised that she had just said that to the sheriff "not that she would of course! It was only bluster! Drunk bluster so you can't take it serious at all."

"Mary Margret doesn't have a car," Emma frowned as Kathryn's sunglasses failed to hide how awkward she felt "she was going to slice my tires. Nice," Emma nodded unsurprised but still offended. "You just remind her that her car is more expensive than mine, oh," she added as she just remembered "and I'm sheriff now so I can throw her ass in jail."

"Really," Kathryn pleaded "she was just trying to cheer me up. I got sad when I saw a guy that looked like David at the bar."

"It's cool," Emma shrugged "Regina and I's weird feud shouldn't affect anyone else. I'm sorry if you get stuck between us."

"What is that all about anyway?" Kathryn pulled down her sunglass to look at Emma then quickly pushed them back up as the grey morning was still too bright.

"Oh you know the usual," Emma said flippantly as she held open the door for Kathryn to exit "our son likes me better and she's jealous. I'm also prettier," she added and Kathryn barked a startled laugh.

"Oh stop," Kathryn slapped her on the arm "you are not."

"You don't think I'm prettier?" Emma asked wounded and completely serious.

Kathryn rolled her eyes "sure ask the soon to be divorced woman which of her female friends is prettiest. That's a sure fire way to end up single and alone."

"Friends?" Emma raised her eyebrow curious.

Kathryn shifted uncomfortable "well, maybe friends is too strong a word. I just like the fact you don't judge or pity me. Maybe we could be friends? If it will put you in an awkward spot with Mary Margret then lets just forget about it."

"No," Emma shook her head giving Kathryn a small smile "sure, lets be friends. I don't have that many that I can afford to turn them away."

"Good," Kathryn breathed with a relieved smile sticking her gloved hand out like a big kid for Emma to shake "friends."

"Friends," Emma echoed shaking her hand feeling giddy like a kid herself. Making friends as an adult was usually much harder. She was glad there seemed to be something childish about Kathryn. "Although Regina is going to hate this, especially since you just admitted I'm the prettiest one."

"I did not!" Kathryn said outraged slapping Emma on the arm again "don't you dare tell her that! Regina is paranoid when it comes to her looks."

"Yeah, evil doesn't look good on everyone," Emma said with mock sympathy "good thing she always has mega bitch to fall back on."

Kathryn's laughter died and her face fell into a frown "Regina is my friend. She's done nothing but be there and support me, you can't talk about her like that. I don't let anyone bad mouth my friends, no matter who they are, even another friend."

Emma nodded trying to look apologetic "I can admire that. I honestly don't know if Regina and I can talk to each other any other way though."

"Well then," Kathryn nodded looking resolute "you'll just have to find a way. We should all hang out together. How else will you learn?"

"That sounds like so much fun," Emma rolled her eyes taking a bite of her doughnut getting cream on her chin.

Kathryn rolled her pretty blue set of eyes right back at Emma "I didn't really think the cop and doughnut thing was true," she said wiping the chin off Emma's chin.

"I liked doughnuts before I was a cop," Emma grumbled her weakest defence ever before huffily taking another bite. "I have to get to work."

"Aye, Aye, officer," Kathryn said giving her a wave "I hear that there's a coffee shop in trouble."

"Smart ass," Emma muttered but sent her a grin before she got into the car and drove off. She adjusted the mirror catching sight of Kathryn standing alone hugging herself in the middle of the street. She looked really sad.

XxXx

"Regina," Emma nodded trying to seem civil since Kathryn was next to her. Kathryn was usually next to Regina nowadays and Emma didn't know if it was because the mayor was being supportive (stalker) or if Kathryn was just lonely.

"Ms Swan," Regina nodded back after Kathryn nudged her. Apparently she too had got the 'be nice' lecture. "Henry," her tone was much warmer as Henry gave Emma a hug and reluctantly went into his house. "Did you have a nice time today?"

"Yeah," Henry said shortly the warm light in his face completely gone when he looked at Regina.

Regina breathed in sharply but didn't seem surprised "go wash up, dinner will be ready soon," she said stiffly her own warmth fleeing at Henry's blatant rejection.

Emma looked down awkwardly feeling both uncomfortable and proud that Henry liked her better. Regina glared at her like she could read her thoughts. "Well," Emma gestured over her shoulder and behind her with both hands "I guess I'll get going then."

"Goodbye Ms Swan," Regina was about ready to shut the door in her face.

Kathryn however stopped Regina with a soft touch on her shoulder "what are you doing for dinner Emma?"

"Take away," Emma replied with a shrug "I'm not much off a cook," and Mary Margret had been too busy being in love for food.

Kathryn turned to Regina and they seemed to be having a non verbal fight. Regina took one last look at Emma giving her a glare before throwing her hands up and walking away. Kathryn's pleading had obviously won. "Stay for dinner, we would love to have you."

Emma heard the derisive snort come from down the hall. She looked at Kathryn who had the good sense to blush and pretend she hadn't heard that "really?"

"I know Henry and I would like it," Kathryn smiled "and it would really annoy Regina," she teased.

"Well it sounds like a win win," Emma smirked coming up the steps.

Kathryn made them pray before dinner and Emma was glad to see that Regina looked as uncomfortable as she did. Neither of them knew the words so kept silent. Henry tried to steal a bread roll but Regina glared at him and he put it back huffily waiting for Kathryn to finish.

"Amen," Emma chipped in after Kathryn said it. She knew that much. Regina and Henry followed her haltingly but they were both glad to actually get dinner. "Spaghetti and meat balls, I haven't had this since I was a kid. It used to be my favourite."

"It's my favourite too," Henry said happy to find more common ground with her.

Regina watched them jealously but it was Kathryn who said "it's nice of Regina to make your favourite Henry. She even makes the sauce from scratch. I wish someone would do that for me. I'm always the one that has to cook. You're pretty lucky."

"I guess," Henry said looking down twirling his fork in the middle of the pasta.

"I hate doing dishes though," Kathryn said. It became obvious that she was a talker. "You going to help Emma and I clean up afterward? It's not fair on Regina if she has to cook and clean."

Henry shot Kathryn and irritated look but when he looked at Emma she showed him no support. "Kathy is right kid, if someone does something nice you should do something nice back."

Regina looked pissed at her for teaching their son manners but it was a fat chance if he was ever going to learn them from her. Regina looked like she was about to snap but Henry spoke up "you're right, thank you mom," he nodded "I'll help with the dishes."

"Thank you Henry," Regina looked genuinely touched.

Henry ruined it all when he looked at Emma for approval making Regina's face freeze over. She felt the urge to cuff him on the back of the head. Kathryn continued to chat the rest of the way through dinner occasionally drawing each of them into the conversation one on one. She couldn't quite get them to interact with one another despite her many attempts.

Emma had to admit that washing dishes had been the best part of the night. She had clicked on the radio in Regina's kitchen while Kathryn filled the sink as Henry scrapped the plates. She found a drying cloth and waited. Eventually a song came on that Kathryn and Emma both found irresistible.

"Ah wella, Ah wella, ah wella, oh!" Emma laughed leaning into Kathryn as she dried a pot.

"Tell me more, tell me more," Kathryn sang back flicking bubbles at Emma.

"Like did he have a car," Emma grinned spinning Henry who looked confused but anxious to be included in the fun. She handed him the pot and the lifted him up so he could put in on the rack.

"Summer lovin'" Kathryn sang wrong missing a few lines causing Emma to laugh at her as she bumped her with her hip.

"What's that from?" Henry asked breathlessly smiling.

"That's Grease!" Emma said outraged then embarrassed at how much genuine offence had been in her voice. "It's alright," she tried to cover her eagerness.

"Alright?" Kathryn repeated unashamed of her own outrage "it's just one of the best musicals ever," she looked up her face sobering.

Emma turned to see Regina in the doorway watching them with a hard expression. "I have the dvd at home," Kathryn said stretching her hand out to invite Regina into the fun "I could bring it over one night for us to watch."

Regina hesitated but after shooting Emma a glance her face resolved itself and she straightened her spine and marched into the kitchen. The island still separated them.

"Can we watch it?" Henry asked "we never watch movies together."

Regina's expression softened "of course we can."

"Great!" Henry grinned grabbing on to Emma's hand "do you think Mary Margret will bake us those cookies for it?"

At the mention of Mary Margret's name Kathryn sobered up crossing to stand by Regina who already looked annoyed that Emma had suddenly been included in the movie night.

"I'll ask," Emma said awkwardly patting Henry's head "I better get going," she said feeling the tension in the air. "You need a lift home Kathryn?"

Regina stiffened "no thank you," Kathryn said "Regina is going to drop me off later."

Regina smirked at her and Emma let her have this victory. It had been the only one she had had all night.

XxXx

Watching Regina play guard dog was amusing mostly due to her puffed up indigence at the drunken men that dared approach Kathryn. They were quickly cut down and made to slink away in shame by the mayor but the most amusing scenarios were the handsome sober charming men that Regina had to reluctantly let through. She watched the charming men with the intensity of a mother hen or a dog jealously guarding its bone.

Kathryn looked flustered at the attention but pleased as she continued to chat to a devilishly handsome blonde man. They were both leaning closer to hear each other in the noisy bar but blonde's arm didn't need to be around Kathryn's shoulder and his hand didn't need to be on so close to hers on the table. Regina looked like a pot about to boil over.

Emma swaggered in with a fresh round of drinks and with a mischievous wink at Kathryn she pulled mayor cock block forcibly from the booth. "We're going dancing!" She yelled over the music and jerked her head to the dance floor.

Regina looked like she wanted to slap Emma especially when Kathryn shot her an amused grin. The guy beside her gave Emma a relieved look before plastering on his charming smile again. Emma dragged Regina away despite the other woman's protests.

Emma expected a full temper tantrum once she let go of Regina at the dance floor and for a few seconds it looked like she was right. Regina was stiff and set on glaring at everyone but the music finally won out and she started to dance.

Dancing was one thing the supposed evil queen did honestly. She was unashamed and carefree moving with a grace that was both sexy and confident. People would draw back slightly to watch her and the brave ones that tried to join her were soon left in her dust unable to keep up. It was honestly the only time Emma found that she could almost like Regina.

Regina's eyes were flashing a challenge at her through their heavy lids and smoky make up. Emma was never one to back down and she slid into the space Regina created for herself. She couldn't keep up with her, she had learnt that the last time they had went dancing but she could slow her down.

Emma grabbed Regina's moving hips and with only a little fumbling in their rhythm she pressed in close until she could feel Regina flush against her front. Their closeness confined Regina's movement enough that Emma could keep up with her.

Regina was taller than her in heels so it was a little awkward being behind her but Emma lent up and blew in her ear. Regina tried to turn but Emma held firmly. Regina might have been a better dancer but no one could grind like Emma. The music's beat picked up faster and Emma gyrated against Regina's ass, stupid black dress that made the mayor sexier than such a bitch had the right to be, Regina surprisingly let her.

Emma could tell that Regina was learning her moves from the way she followed the grind rather than fought or tried to control it. Like any master planner gathering data was the key to success and Emma was surprised and totally unprepared for how fast Regina could adapt.

Without warning Regina's hand came up to grip the back of Emma's hair and she turned and ducked under her own arm. The little space that had opened up during that manoeuvre was quickly closed as Regina smirked and pulled Emma onto her thigh settling into her own grind.

Emma's mouth opened in shock as she gasped. Regina's dress had ridden up baring her pale smooth thigh and a fleeting back stabbing thought made Emma wish that she had worn a dress so she could feel her bare skin as the hem rode up during the grind.

Regina smiled victorious but Emma wouldn't be out done. She grabbed Regina's ass and worked her own thigh between Regina's legs. Their grind was in danger of turning into a dry hump that wouldn't stay dry for very long.

Emma was almost relieved when the music stopped and the lights flashed for last rounds. They broke away from each other and Emma was glad to see Regina looked as flushed and out of breath as she was.

They turned to find Kathryn staring at them, her flush clear halfway across the room. It looked like she hadn't been able to tear her eyes off them. Emma shared a smirk with Regina before swaggering to the table. She picked up her drink and tossed it back in one go. "Let's get out of here and get a taxi before the mad rush starts."

Kathryn nodded and grabbed her bag slipping out without looking at blonde. Emma gave him a sympathetic smile that wasn't very sincere as Regina helped Kathryn into her coat. She couldn't keep the smirk off her face as she took her own jacket from the mayor and led the way out.

"You couldn't take your eyes off us," Emma said in the taxi ride home. Some rap music was thudding against the closed glass of the taxi window as the driver nodded his head along to the beat ignoring the three women in the back of the cab.

"You were pretty close for people that claim to hate each other," Kathryn cleared her throat as the blush on her cheeks got deeper. She was wedged in the middle of them with Emma turned on her side to give her slightly more room as Regina looked disinterestedly out of the window at the passing trees.

Emma's smile just deepened, Regina and she had a complicated relationship but they were the best of friends as long as the other didn't talk or look at each other. "Did you enjoy yourself?" Emma asked smugly knowing the double meaning would go over Kathryn's head.

"Yeah," Kathryn gave a shy smile as her head lent back on the head rest stretching her neck into an enticing column of vulnerable flesh. "I felt sexy for the first time in months, it just seems like no one found me attractive for so long..."

Kathryn looked so sad that Emma reacted automatically "I would totally sleep with you, you're gorgeous K," she reached out to place her hand reassuringly on Kathryn's knee but she misjudge the distance due to her tipsy state. Her hand ended up high on Kathryn's thigh where her skirt had rode up during the drive.

Kathryn gasped softly with her head coming forward immediately as she looked at Emma's hand so close to the edge of her skirt. Regina, ever the watch dog, turned at Kathryn's distressed sound and immediately spotted Emma's hand. Her eyes narrowed and her own hand moved decisively to cover Emma's intent on flinging the offending hand back at its owner.

They were all shocked when Kathryn's hand snapped down on top of Regina's forcing Emma's palm to increase contact. They sat like that for a minute stunned with their hands stacked like a bazaar game of snap on Kathryn's upper thigh.

Kathryn bit her lip nervously looking down studying their hands. Emma cautiously moved her thumb forward and back on her warm thigh once in the barest hint of a caress. Kathryn trembled and emboldened Emma did it again with more pressure causing Kathryn to inhale shakily.

"First stop ladies," the cab driver said as he ducked down to check something in the glove box.

"Thank you for a lovely night," Kathryn spoke quickly without looking at either of them and clamoured over Regina to get out of the car. Regina no doubt would have followed her but the door slammed shut in her face.

They both watched as Kathryn made it inside her house on shaky legs still looking flustered. Regina turned back to Emma looking both aroused and furious. Emma stared back knowing that Regina would only take the bad half out on her.

"I think we have a new problem, Ms Swan," Regina growled.

"It's not a problem for me," Emma smirked stroking her cheek with the same thumb "I'm winning."

XxXx

That night was the night that both Regina and Emma had finally voiced the odd competition that they found themselves in their mutual attraction to Kathryn. Emma wanted Kathryn because she was nice and funny and treated Emma like a real person without arguing or fighting. She liked the fact that she could make Kathryn smile and felt protective over everything she was going through. She also looked gorgeous with legs that went on forever and a rack that Emma found hard not to stare at like a teenage boy. That helped.

The fact that Regina also seemed to want Kathryn was just a bonus as it turned things into an exciting race of seduction. Emma honestly wanted Kathryn as a person and not an object or thing to be won but she was also honest enough to admit to herself that beating Regina was appealing in a whole different way.

The odd dynamic that Regina and Emma seemed to have with each other was built more on the physical. Emma wasn't blind, Regina was hot and had she not had the irritating tendency to belittle and piss Emma off, she might have struck up a friendship with her or a one night stand at least. But the fact that she was a total bitch and the one that kept coming between her and her son meant that Emma wasn't that attracted to her beyond the physical. And even the physical aspect was getting over shadowed by her terrible personality.

Regina was sneaky and prone to elaborate stunts that just served to make Emma look bad, like this one. "Regina bought you a house?" Emma snapped indignant and annoyed that she hadn't thought of it first.

"She bought out David's half," Kathryn nodded excitedly smiling with enthusiasm "I can't believe she did that. I told her not too but my lawyer called me this morning to say he had found a buyer and my heart broke. Then he said Regina's name and I was amazed, I called her up she confirmed it and after I stopped screaming at her she said that she intends to have me pay back every penny and is sending her lawyer over to draw up a rent agreement!"

Kathryn looked far too excited at the prospect of having Regina be her land lady for Emma's liking. "She knows I couldn't afford a loan from the bank and I wouldn't take a hand out. This way I can pay off the house and not have to move."

"I'm so happy for you," Emma gave a weak smile and gripped her coffee cup hard. Kathryn was practically bouncing in her seat as she looked over the breakfast menu at Granny's "that was so thoughtful of Regina, I wonder where she got the money?"

"I can assure you Sherriff," Regina drawled sliding into the seat next to Kathryn straightening out her power suit with a smirk "that it was all my own money. Nothing's missing from the budget."

Emma glared at the reminder of that humiliation. Kathryn slammed down her menu and beamed at Regina like a sunflower staring at the sun. "What do you want for breakfast? It's on me," Kathryn said practically shoving the menu at Regina in the effort to feed her saviour.

"Actually I just want coffee and a muffin," Regina replied with an amused chuckle her eyes flashing smugly at Emma "I'm a little late from dropping Henry off at school this morning. I wouldn't want the town to think I'm shirking my duties, if only I had the time to sit idly like you and the sheriff."

Kathryn rolled her eyes at the jab but the grin didn't even falter. "Coming right up," she said as she stood up from the table. She squeezed Regina's shoulders affectionately as she passed by her to the counter.

"You bought her a house?" Emma hissed leaning forward.

Regina raised one eye brow cockily smirking as she sat back in her chair. She somehow made the dinky little diner chair seem like a throne. "Who's winning now?"

Emma shook her head with a sneer "people's affection can't be bought."

"Oh?" Regina snorted "tell that to the creators of Valentine's day and rich old men with young wives."

"Kathryn isn't like that," Emma said confidently.

"Maybe not," Regina's eyes flashed "but it didn't exactly hurt did it?"

"We'll see," Emma nodded standing up "I'm not out of this yet."

"Goodbye Ms Swan," Regina smirked as Kathryn came back with her coffee and muffin sitting even closer if that was possible.

XxXx

Regina was more financially secure, powerful and more grown up than Emma. That just meant that Emma had to play to her strengths. She dialled up the sex appeal and fun. Mary Margret and David had moved in together in a tiny cottage near the woods and were for all intense and purposes having a mini get away. Which was good for Emma, who now had sole ownership of the apartment because Mary Margret wasn't as big a dick as David and had organised with the landlord for Emma to take up the lease at the reasonable price she had paid before Emma moved in.

The first thing Emma did was buy a toaster to replace the one she broke and a microwave because Mary Margret took hers with her when she moved because she couldn't cook either. The third thing she bought was an xbox kinetic because she was young hip and fun and they had a Grease dancing game.

The positive side affect was that Henry was always visiting her now since Regina didn't let him play video games. It was just one more thing they could share.

"Come on Swan," Kathryn giggled as she shuffled in the living room "it's your turn to dance!"

"I get to be Sandy," Emma called setting the beer down on the floor. The couch had been pushed back to make room for the dancing.

"I already claimed her," Kathryn stuck her tongue out.

"Fine," Emma grumbled "I'll be Danny," because no one in their right mind would choose Rizzo or Frenchie.

"How butch," Kathryn grinned pouring wine into her glass. There was only one thing Regina and Emma agreed on, wine was terrible. Regina preferred spirits while Emma preferred cheap beer but Kathryn, to both their horrors, was a wine drinker.

"Not butch," Emma corrected "I just appreciate someone who can pull off a leather jacket."

"A truly hard skill to master," Kathryn mocked.

"You have no idea," Emma winked at her then was all concentration as her turn arrived. She beat Kathryn's score and they both giggled continuing to play until they collapsed on the sofa tired and slightly sweaty but more than a little drunk and happy.

Emma turned catching Kathryn mid laugh and deciding right then to turn up the sexy factor. She brushed Kathryn's hair out of her face causing the other woman to look at her. Slowly Kathryn's grin faded under Emma's intent gaze.

"I should go..." Kathryn said but her eyes betrayed her by darting to Emma's lips.

"Yeah, it's getting late," Emma agreed still stroking her cheek and making no move to stop "you should sleep here tonight, you're too drunk to walk home, stay in my bed."

"Where will you sleep?" Kathryn asked both wary and excited.

"Where ever you want me too," Emma promised closing the distance.

At the last moment Kathryn sat up. She ran her hand through her hair and looking around the place she grabbed her shoes. "I-I have to go," she said looking confused and lost. She didn't wait for Emma to reply before she all but ran from the house.

XxXx

Emma ramped up the seduction. She took every chance to touch Kathryn even in front of Regina. Especially in front of Regina. At first Kathryn was upset or confused but that soon passed as Emma did nothing more than touch her wrist or hand, squeeze her shoulder when she was upset or hug her when she was happy. Everything could be passed off as friendly touches.

Regina knew that they weren't, they all knew really, but it was easy to pretend. Regina however couldn't pretend and resented the growing ease and familiarity with which Emma and Kathryn interacted. She tried to copy with disastrous results. Physical affection didn't come easy to Regina. She would squeeze too hard or pat to roughly causing Kathryn to wince and shy away while Emma smirked.

Regina eventually realised that she couldn't beat Emma at this game. Emma had taken them all go karting and Regina responded like a middle aged mother nagging them for their recklessness and refusing to join in while Kathryn and Emma had a blast. After the many 'fun' nights of ice skating, roller disco and outdoor picnics preceded by long hikes Regina devised a new plan.

Regina convinced Kathryn to redo the house as a fresh start. That meant many evenings of pouring over swatch colours, watching the home improvement channel and worst of all, hours and hours of window shopping followed by actual shopping. Emma was ready to scream. Then came the long hours of painting and moving furniture where Emma seemed to do all the heavy work and Regina got all the credit.

Then the divorce finalised.

"We have to go out dancing," Emma said excited to be doing something other than picking out the best brown for the spare room. It was brown, the dullest colour known to man, who cared what shade it came in?

"We still haven't decided on the coco or the mahogany tint for the study," Regina said with a frown.

"It's her first night as a free woman," Emma rolled her eyes "she doesn't want to spend it indoors!"

"I wouldn't mind getting a drink," Kathryn offered apologetically.

"Excellent!" Emma grinned "lets meet at Kathryn's in two hours and go dancing!"

Regina grumbled but agreed. It turned out that they both had the same idea. Emma got out her sure thing red dress which was a lot fancier than the bar required but she was desperate to regain ground after the weeks of domestic suicide. She drove by Regina's house and spotted her giving orders to the baby sitting in the smallest black dress decency would allow complete with fuck me heels. Emma sped up determined to get to Kathryn's first and allow for time alone.

Kathryn answered the door wearing a nice blue halter neck dress that came to the knee. She could have been going to church. The slack jawed look of amazement on her face when she saw Emma in her dress was worth the effort.

"You're awfully, ah, um, er-perky-I mean pretty," Kathryn stumbled out mortified as she drew away from the door to let Emma in. "I'm getting a drink, do you wet-want anything?" her voice came out squeaky at the end.

"I'd love some water," Emma grinned following Kathryn into the kitchen. She wondered if she spilt it down her dress would that be too transparent? She wasn't wearing a bra.

Kathryn looked nervous when Emma chose to follow her rather than go into the living room and wait but she didn't say anything. She got Emma her water and when she turned she jumped as Emma was so close. The water sloshed over the side spilling over her blue dress.

"Here, let me," Emma grinned wolfishly knowing when to take advantage of a situation. She grabbed the drying cloth and rubbed it over the dark stain on the left breast of the dress.

Kathryn's eyes widened at the touch and Emma let the tea towel drop along with the pretence. She stepped closer to Kathryn drawing her in by the waist.

"What are you doing?" Kathryn cried stepping away and stumbling into the side counter.

"Yes, that was my thoughts exactly," Regina said glaring from the doorway her arms crossed. She wasn't wearing a bra either Emma noted.

"Stop it!" Kathryn snapped "you've been just as bad!"

"What?" Regina looked affronted.

"I just went through a divorce!" Kathryn said pressing her palm against her forehead. She looked close to tears "you two have been messing with my emotions and I want to know why! I thought we were friends but the way you've both been acting its like you're trying to annoy the other by using me."

"I didn't mean to mess with your emotions," Emma said truly apologetic. She didn't think Kathryn would take it this hard.

"Then what were you doing?" Kathryn begged her to tell the truth.

"I was trying to seduce you," Emma said with an awkward shrug.

"What?" Kathryn said flummoxed before slowly turning to Regina "and you?"

Regina gave a reluctant jerky nodded. Kathryn looked like she needed to sit down so Emma slid the small stool over to her. She sank down on it the counters stopping just above her head making her look small and overwhelmed. "But why? Please don't tell me this was about who would win between you?"

"No," Emma shook her head reassuringly "both Regina and I became attracted to you on our own separately. We kind of realised that the other was interested and I guess we got a bit out of hand trying to make you chose without actually...having a conversation."

Kathryn gave a rough bark of laughter before burying her head in her hands "I've never been with a woman before. I've never been with anyone other than David and now there's two women standing in my kitchen confessing they both want me." She sounded a little delirious.

Emma never actually considered that Kathryn wouldn't be interested in women. She felt like slapping her hand against her head in a 'duh' moment. She was arrogant enough to assume her hotness overrode trifling things like sexuality. It had in the past. "Kathryn I'm sorry," Emma said gently "but it seems like you responded...?"

Kathryn shot her a withering glare "of course I did, I thought you were only joking! Friends flirt with each other all the time!"

Emma's eyes flashed angrily "don't play dumb with me, friends don't nearly kiss or feel each other up like we've done. They don't flirt like we do."

Kathryn looked away chastised "I'm scared," she confessed quietly "I've lost my husband, I don't want to lose my sexual identity along with my friends too."

"You don't have to," Regina finally spoke. She crossed the kitchen and kneeled down in front of Kathryn gently prying her hands away from her face "Kathryn, whomever you chose I promise you on my end at least that I will not abandon you. You are my friend and that means more to me than I could express. The only thing that you must ask yourself is, if you are attracted to either of us, gay or bi or crazy in the case of Ms Swan, doesn't matter right now. Ask yourself what or who you want."

Kathryn stared at Regina tearfully but Regina despite always treating Kathryn the gentlest still wasn't very approachable even when she was trying her hardest. Kathryn must have seen something that Emma couldn't because she burst into tears and drew Regina into a hug.

Regina still stiff and awkward patted Kathryn's back, it was obvious she didn't want to be as physically stunted as she was. She just couldn't work out how not to be. "I'm sorry," Kathryn sobbed "I'm such a bad person, I can't choose between you, I'm attracted to you both. I don't want to be but you're both so good to me...I can't choose..."

"Then don't..." Regina said pushing Kathryn back "don't choose," she ordered drawing Kathryn forward into a kiss.

Emma made a sound that was meant to be a protest but sounded more like a turned on groan. "It seems that I'm forever destined to share with Ms Swan," Regina said as she drew back only a little bit of bitterness in her tone. She kissed away Kathryn's tears bring her thumbs up to wipe away the remaining traces. "I want you so badly that if the only way I get to have you is by sharing then I will."

The 'for now' went unsaid but Emma clearly heard it.

Kathryn looked stunned before bringing her hand up and running it through Regina's immaculately styled hairdo crinkling the hairspray. She smiled weakly and they both turned to stare at Emma. She swallowed trying to contain the little spark of arousal the kissing had brought on. "Of course," Regina drawled "if the good Sheriff has a problem with that-"

"No!" Emma put in quickly. The idea of watching Regina and Kathryn fuck sparked surprisingly more arousal than jealousy like Emma first assumed. She pulled Kathryn to her feet and without further teasing drew her into a hot passionate kiss that had been building up for weeks. She pressed firmly against Kathryn nearly lifting her onto the counter with her insistent desire to press against every inch of her.

Emma of course kissed different from Regina's soft reassuring kisses. She had to hold back her eagerness like a teenage boy wanting to consume all of Kathryn right there on her kitchen counter. She broke away only because of the overrated need to breath.

"Wow," Kathryn gasped looking glassy eyed. "We need to go upstairs. Now."

Regina smirked and Emma was too out of breath to argue.

XxXx

What happened, Emma later reflected over her cup of coffee, was less of a threesome and more of a tag team match.

Kathryn didn't stand a chance really. While Regina kissed her the entire way to the bedroom nearly stumbling on the stairs and breaking their necks, thank god Emma was behind them and steadied them. She would have been raging if the sex had to stop due to stupidity. Emma worked on Kathryn's halter top letting it come loose and slipping it down so she stood in her black underwear set and heels. By the time Kathryn made it to her bedroom she only had her panties on Emma claiming her bra and Kathryn herself kicking off her own shoes.

Regina pushed her down on the bed intently and turning her head to the side slightly she finally acknowledged Emma. "I can't reach my zip," with a business like jerk Emma pulled the zip halfway down enough so Regina could unzip her damn self.

Emma then reclaimed Kathryn's attention pulling her into a kiss while sliding between her legs. "I want to see you," Kathryn gasped rubbing the material of Emma's dress as she arched her back. Emma had found a sweet spot on her neck that she fully intended to take advantage off.

"Later," Emma promised to busy enjoying herself.

"No," Kathryn said firmly rolling them over "now," she said finding a back bone. Emma grinned up at her as Regina swooped in from behind settling against Kathryn's back and cupping her breasts.

"Look who thinks she's giving orders," Regina said in that same imperious and arrogant tone that usually set Emma's teeth on edge but now just made her wet. She squeezed Kathryn's breasts chuckling as she pulled on her ear lobe with her teeth. Kathryn moaned arching her back her eyes squeezing shut instinctively.

Not to be out done Emma thrust up grinding into her covered pussy causing Kathryn to gasp. Regina perfectly content to use Emma, as long as she didn't have to touch her, forced Kathryn to grind down against Emma's pelvis.

Emma couldn't take it anymore and without any finesse she wiggled until she could throw her dress off and over her head. It landed somewhere far away from Emma's thoughts as she sat up her breasts brushing against both Regina's fingers and Kathryn's chest. She drew Kathryn down into a deep kiss that was messy as hell but made the other woman grind down harder on her with a wanting whimper.

"You're so wanton," Regina exhaled shakily softly mouthing Kathryn's shoulders. Regina, it surprised no one to find out, turned out to be a biter. "Get down on the mattress and spread your legs, I want to see all of you."

Kathryn moaned but hesitated and Emma scrambled out of the way because that was an image she wanted to see. As soon as she was out of the way Regina pushed Kathryn down her head hitting the pillows face first as Regina matter of factly pulled up her ass and pushed down her panties before pushing her legs as far apart as they could go trapped between panties. The image that resulted was obscene.

Kathryn was arranged with her blonde hair falling about her as she hid her face in the pillows. Her ass was raised high with her black panties cutting into her skin as Regina spread her legs displaying her puffy red pussy that was glistening with arousal and her twitching rosebud.

Kathryn tried to scrambled away and close her legs but Regina was having none of that. She hooked her arm around her hips and brought Kathryn's rear flush with her stomach as the hand of the arm around her waist slipped between her thighs to cup her pussy and stop Kathryn from closing her legs.

"Jezuz, Regina," Emma slapped her on the shoulder as Kathryn jerked up looking slightly wide eyed and confused. "Some people have something called modesty! They don't appreciate being put on display like a damn buffet without a little warning first!"

"What they have is in my way," Regina glared.

Kathryn twisted in Regina's hold managing to close her legs and draw them upward. "I'm not really comfortable with...that..."

Regina looked frustrated but since it was Kathryn she looked like she was fighting her temper. "What are you comfortable with?" Regina asked. It still managed to come off like an accusation.

Kathryn looked lost and Emma rolled her eyes at Regina. She gave Kathryn a smile and drew her into a kiss until her frown went away. "Regina's an ass, I told you that repeatedly," she grinned while Regina huffed behind her "you've got us both wound up."

"Really?" Kathryn asked looked intrigued.

Emma grinned kneeling up straighter and shifting her thighs further apart. She took Kathryn's hand and guided it into her panties. Kathryn bit her lip looking at the bulge their hands made under the material of Emma's purple panties. She didn't believe in matching underwear. "It's pretty different from touching yourself right?"

"The angle is different," Kathryn agreed growing bolder and slipping her finger deeper into the wetness pushing passed Emma's pussy lips. Emma groaned resisting the urge to roll her hips as Kathryn started a thoughtful exploration. The heel of her hand brushed against the top of Emma's mound teasingly close to her clit.

"If you keep doing that I'm going to need to lie down," Emma warned.

"So lie down," Kathryn said pushing Emma onto her back. Emma grinned as Kathryn seemed to take this really serious "I've never done this before," she confided "what if I can't make you come?"

"Then I'll lend you a helping hand and you can practice for the future," Emma grinned then groaned as Kathryn swiped her thumb right down the middle. Regina looked frustrated with this turn of events but she was lucky that Emma understood people better than her or else Kathryn would have stopped them. She might have agreed to have sex, that didn't mean she agreed to do whatever Regina wanted in the bedroom.

"Cheer up sad sack," Emma huffed nudging Regina with her foot "you'll get your turn."

Kathryn grinned at Regina drawing her into a kiss her hand stopping. Apparently girl sex required all her concentration. Emma decided the first thing they were working on was multitasking. They stopped the kiss and Kathryn turned back to Emma.

"I..." Kathryn cleared her throat and then rediscovered that new back bone "I want to see you too," she said tugging at Emma's panties. Emma lifted her ass and let Kathryn pull her panties down. She waited until Kathryn was ready and let the other woman open her legs to take a look. A shot on insecurity ran down Emma's back before she pushed it away.

"I didn't think I would be this turned on...looking at one of those," Kathryn bit her lip blushing hard but unable to look away. Emma moved to sit up but Kathryn pushed her down eagerly "what are you doing? Stay there!" She ordered crossly reaching out to touch Emma again without the barrier of panties.

She settled herself next to Emma and reached down "The angle is more familiar up here," she explained as her fingers toyed with Emma's opening. The heel of her hand was grinding down catching Emma's clit on every odd stroke. Emma realised that Kathryn couldn't actually find her clit which both amazed and amused her. Kathryn was a women, she never expected another woman to have trouble remembering how important the clit was. She didn't laugh though as she sensed that would be the worst possible thing to do right now.

Kathryn bit her lip and slipped two fingers inside with no warning Emma cried out thrusting up automatically. Kathryn grinned and bent down to kiss Emma's nipples as her hand continued to thrust. Emma reached down and started to rub her own clit frantically. She closed her eyes and began to rock into Kathryn's hand

She was so turned on by the fact that it was Kathryn's fingers inside her and nice girl Kathryn's mouth sucking her nipples for all she was worth. Every time Kathryn moved she brushed her entire body along Emma's side driving her crazy. She dragged Kathryn into a kiss and rocking against her and rubbing her own clit loving the feeling of Kathryn pressing down against her. She came with a moan her free hand fisting in Kathryn's her as she groaned into her mouth.

"Did you...?" Kathryn asked with a shy grin.

Emma laughed and nodded "yeah."

Kathryn looked so proud of herself that Emma had to kiss her again. Kathryn sensing that Regina felt a little left out and Emma wanted to get her breath back knelt up and kissed Regina's cheek. Regina didn't respond so Kathryn kissed her other cheek coaxing Regina into a real kiss.

The fun bit happened when Regina was on her back hand pressed against her face as Kathryn sat between her legs with a look of intense frustration. Emma was sitting beside them watching as Kathryn drove Regina to the edge again and again but didn't have enough skill or technique to finish her off. If she continued on like this she would drive Regina to the point of over sensitivity where she would be so numb she couldn't get off leaving her stewing in frustration or so sensitive it would be painful to touch.

Regina didn't believe in lying in the bedroom it seemed. Long passed the point where another woman would have just pretended to have an orgasm Regina stayed frustratingly honest. Kathryn still couldn't find her clit and was beginning to despair. Regina had stopped barking instructions as she chipped away at Kathryn's confidence without meaning too.

"Oh for god sakes," Regina slammed her hands down either side of her frustrated. She glared at Emma "help her!"

Emma grinned unfolding herself from her seating position. Kathryn looked relieved. Emma kissed her and took her hand away. Emma had a well kept secret, more off an Achilles heel really. She loved giving head. It didn't matter if it was a man or a woman she had a huge oral fixation and watching as Regina's clit pulled back from its hood glistening and being ignored despite all but screaming for attention had taken a lot of will power.

Kathryn flexed her hand and Emma surprised her by sucking her fingers. Her eyes dilated and her breath caught as Emma licked her clean. "She's pretty sensitive," Emma said smacking her lips enjoying the taste of Regina "when I tell you too put your fingers inside her. Don't thrust just curl them and rub back and forth."

Kathryn nodded and Emma turned giving Regina a long lick to clean up the frustrated arousal that gathered around her pussy. She teased her labia with her tongue because if she used her teeth right now Regina would more than likely kick her in the face. She moved up and sucked her clit into her mouth massaging it with her lips and sucking using her tongue sparingly she reached back for Kathryn's hand feeling it enter Regina against her cheek.

Regina wrestled gripping her hair in both hands and rocking her hips erratically as she sighed. She came with a relieved whimper nearly arching off the bed before falling back exhaustedly and rolling to the side closing her legs.

"I'm sorry it took so long," Kathryn said curling up to Regina's back. Regina looked over her shoulder at Kathryn and again had it been anyone else Regina would have snapped at them but she gave Kathryn a weak smile.

"It could have been worse," Regina's version of nice still wasn't up to much "I accidentally bit the first woman I was with. She stole my apple and left after cursing me."

"I would curse at you too if you bit me," Emma said lying down on Kathryn's other side. Regina was sleepy and unaware of what she was actually saying as she was about to drift off. She 'hhmmed' in response pulling up the covers and falling asleep instantly. Emma didn't see much point in staying awake and soon followed her.

XxXx

"Hi," Kathryn jumped back when she saw Emma in the doorway in her panties and tank top. She looked nervous and cute in her apron with the spatula upraised in a silly wave. It was almost enough to make Emma forgive her for leaving the bed and letting her wake up next to Regina. "I have eggs!"

Emma raised her eyebrow and straddled the stool on the other side of the island "I'm so happy for you," she said dully her eyes casting around for coffee. "Do you have anything with caffeine in it?"

"Oh," Kathryn jerkily turned around and shoved the spatula into the pan and fumbled with the coffee pot. "Here, oh!" She knocked over the cup and the coffee went everywhere. It was such a tragedy that Emma felt like licking the countertop so that such precious liquid wouldn't be wasted.

"The eggs are burning," Emma nodded to the smoking frying pan.

"Crap!" Kathryn stopped trying to furiously mop up the coffee and lunged at the pan hitting the handle and sending the eggs straight at Emma. She just managed to get out of the way as Kathryn squealed and cradled her hand "ow, that was hot!"

Emma blinked at the total train wreck that Kathryn had suddenly turned into. She came around the island and gently moved Kathryn out of the way to flick the stove off. She then grabbed Kathryn's hand and led her to the sink where she ran it under cool water. For her final trick she unrolled the kitchen roll and laid it out over the spilled coffee to let it absorb.

"Relax," Emma said sliding up behind Kathryn's tense back. She reached around her in a loose hug but only to look at Kathryn's hand to make sure the woman didn't seriously burn herself "you're acting like this is the first time you've had to endure the morning after a drunken threesome with your two female friends," Emma said wryly unable to hide the humour in her voice.

"It's the first morning after I've had with anyone that wasn't my husband," Kathryn laughed nervously.

"You know the great thing about morning afters with friends?" Emma said with a smile as she kissed Kathryn's neck.

Kathryn tensed and bit her lip but turned into Emma's mouth anyway before asking breathlessly "what?"

"Sex up against the sink," Emma hadn't even finished her sentence before her hand snuck up and cupped Kathryn's covered sex from behind. Her fingers rubbed up and down as she started to rhythmically squeeze.

"Oh," Kathryn grasped leaning forward and gripping the cold metal of the sink as the water still gushed from the tap spraying the front of her pink apron. She closed her eyes and widened her stance instinctively giving Emma more room to work with.

"You shouldn't have got dressed," Emma nibbled on her ear "it was just a waste of time, since I'm going to spend the entire day making you come."

Kathryn whimpered moving against her fingers with the slightest tinge of desperation. "I highly doubt it," Regina growled from the doorway making Emma sigh as Kathryn turned surprised. "All three of us have jobs to get to and I have to get Henry ready for school," Regina snapped already fully dressed in a power suit. She must have left one at Kathryn's because that was not the clothes they had ripped off her last night. "God knows how much I have to pay the babysitter and what she'll think," Regina huffed.

"Bet you wish we had shared custody of Henry now, huh?" Emma smirked still holding on to Kathryn.

"Not on your life," Regina said as she strolled into the kitchen heading straight for Kathryn. She moved Emma out of the way and pulled Kathryn into a deep kiss clearly marking her territory. When she pulled back Kathryn looked dazed. With a smirk Regina reached further behind her and turned off the tap. "Now if you will excuse me," Regina said turning away triumphantly "I have to go take care of my son."

"She is such an asshole," Emma said but couldn't help the little grin that tugged at her lips.
