Could Be Swan Queen Pt 2

"Haven't fully gotten over it. I can eat more but not lots, I couldn't keep it in the other day. I still hurt and my mind is a mess. But I'm trying my best to get better. I know it will take time but you will too"
 Regina gave her a soft kiss. "But it doesn't show in you. " she was quiet for a moment. "Henry heard me one night.."
 Emma kissed her softly "he doesn't know what's going on Regina... I know he's old enough he would understand if he found out" she stroked her hair
 "He saw me, he had to help me out to my bed. I don't want him to see me being weak"
 "Reginas he's family... if anyone has any reason to see you like that it's him. You can't be strong all the time"
 "I'm the one that needs to be strong for him, he hasn't even saw me having a flu"
 "You've been strong all his life, and you still are." She brought their hands up and she kissed her wrist "It's ok to be vunerable around him. He loves and cares for you. And so do i"
 "And I love both of you. But I still don't like it." Regina said and finally looked at Emma
 "I know you don't. But sometimes you have to handle things you don't want to and show parts of yourself you don't want to." Emma looked in her eyes
 
"Couldn't it be enough that you get to see them" she looked back to her
 "It is. But you shouldn't be afraid to show Henry behind your mask a little bit every once and a while"
 "I just still see him as that little boy, that I need to protect alone. Maybe there's parts I should let him see"
 Emma kissed her forehead "you don't have to show him all. Some Is good. That might help him open  up more too." She smiled softly "I'm glad he has you. You are a wonderful mother"
 "You are wonderful mother too, now that you had found him, you know that you have lot of similaritys"
 "Genetics. But you raised him into the wonderful person he is. I've only been around the past few years. He takes a bit after you too"

 "I wanted to take care of him as well as I could. And these few years have brought so much happinesst to him.. And to me"
 Emma kissed her gently "these past few years have been the best years of my entire life. I found my parents. My son. And you"
 Regina kissed her back "hope I'd have found you here bit earlier"
 "Well maybe if you hadn't put the curse over. But then again maybe we wouldn't have happened"
 "It may have been a quite a road if we would have end up together in the Enchanted forest. It would have beeing even bigger thing to gossip than now" she smiled
 Emma smiled "There's not much gossip about us right now other then that one thing. But probably because you won't kiss me in public" she rolled her eyes slightly
 "So that's what you want, maybe I grant you one the next time we go out" she said and kissed her. "Let people know that you are mine now"
 Emma kissed her back "all yours"
 
Regina rested her head against Emma's, they had went to talk something more sad but here, she could smile agaian
 Emma hugged but then had to pull away. She went to prepare Neal a bottle "want to feed him again?"
 "Sure" she smiled and picked him up, holding him in her arms
 Emma smiled and handed her the bottle "I wish I could have watched you with Henry"
 Regina started feeding him. "I was a mess at first"
 "But you obviously got way better at it"

 "After he stopped crying day and night, and I could fully consentrate I learned"
 Emma smiled and kissed her cheek
 Regina was soon ready with Neal and put the bottle away.
 Emma liked watching her
 Regina made him on the counter hands holding him the whole time when she sat on the bar stool
 Emma came behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist and rested her head on her shoulder
 Regina leaned on Emma, still hands on Neal making sure he wouldn't move away
 
"My parents should be back sometime tonight"
 "I can stay till that, I already told Henry that I may come late home"
 "Wanna cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie when after we put Neal back down?"
 "Yes" she said and turned so she could gave her a kiss. She took Neal in her arms but remained on the stool
