50 Shades of Swan-Mills

Chapter 15

It was surely quite embarrassing that Emma had to help me with pretty much everything. I couldn't even properly dress myself because my shoulders were so sore. Perhaps letting her cuff me to the ceiling was a bad idea. I have to admit that she made me feel all kinds of amazing. The aftermath was less than glorious however. The weird looks that Henry gave me when he got home surely didn't make me feel any more comfortable.

"So, explain to me again how you hurt both of your shoulders?" He asked and tilted his head as he looked at me with confusion.
"Like I said... Emma and I were practicing with magic and she accidentally hit me in the shoulder and blasted the other one against the wall." I thought it was quite the clever ruse, but it didn't look like my son was my convinced.
"But, ma has been really good with magic lately." He reasoned and Emma just quietly snickered behind me. I turned and glared at her.
"Not one word Miss Swan." I hissed.

"You know, you could just tell me the truth. Because I doubt that banging your shoulders into a wall would make you lose your voice quite like that, unless you want to convince me you two did karaoke all night as well." I gasped and turned to him.
"What are insinuating?!"
"Oh my god, mom, don't even make me say it." He turned red and Emma just laughed softly.
"Regina, stop... You're only digging a bigger hole." She said and hugged me from behind. I struggled a little but gave in and sighed.
"Fine, some handcuffs may have been involved. Can we just get past this now?" It was humiliating enough to talk about sex with other people, even more so when your son knows what you're up to.
"Ok, I didn't need to know that." Henry nervously kicked the floor and bit his lip. "I'm going upstairs now. Call me when there is dinner." He said and ran off.
"No running on the stairs!" I called after him and sighed, turning to Emma.

"You were no help what so ever." She gasped and pouted a little.
"Hey, I wasn't the one who blatantly told him I cuffed you." She defended and I sighed.
"Was my initial story that unconvincing?" I frowned and she bit her lip.
"Well, it was more how you stuttered through it the first time... You never stutter or are at a loss for words. So, it was pretty obvious." I sighed and let my forehead fall on her shoulder.
"Well, at least he doesn't know the full story of what's going on."
"I do think we're going to have to go a little more easy on each other though."

I was lying on the couch, flicking through the movies that Netflix had to offer as Henry moved to lie against me. I smiled and wrapped my arm around him.
"Can I pick a movie mom?" He asked and I nodded.
"Sure, why not." I gave him the remote and he looked at me with a frown. "What? Is there something on my face?" I cocked an eyebrow. He reached up and carefully pulled the collar of my pajamas aside. I gasped as he now had quite the view of Emma's handiwork from last night. I quickly pulled the collar back up and watched as a smirk spread on his face.

It was then that Emma entered the room with a bowl of popcorn.
"What's going on?" She asked and looked at Henry's smirk and then looked at me.
"Nothing." Henry said casually and just flipped through the movies like I had before. Emma sat down on the other couch and frowned a little before putting the bowl down.

"Now why don't I believe that?"
"I'm not sure if mom has enough turtlenecks."
"Turtlenecks?" Emma looked even more confused and I slowly pulled aside the collar, showing her what he was getting at. She gasped before chuckling. "Oh, turtlenecks... Well, she has scarfs too."

"Emma!"
"Why don't we watch Fifty Shades of Grey?" Henry then said.
"NO!" Emma and I said in unison which made our son laugh.
"I wasn't being serious. Geez, no need to get your panties in a bunch."
"My panties are just fine..."
"Mom!" He looked at me and shook his head. "It's just a saying..."
"Don't forget your mother is ancient and not from this world."
"HEY! I'm NOT ancient!"
"Jurassic Park then?" Henry suggested with a smirk.
"I'm not a dinosaur." I grumbled as Henry and Emma both laughed at me. "Yeah, go ahead and laugh, young grasshoppers."
"There is life in the old lady yet." Emma snickered.
"Ok, that's it... I'm going to go to bed and you're going to get in on top of me if you know what's good for you!" I got up and glared at the blonde.
"Oh hell no." Henry said and got up. "I'm out." He quickly ran out of the room and Emma snickered.
"I don't think he knows that reference Regina... It's an older book you know." She smirked at me and I slowly cracked, chuckling a little.
"Well, more popcorn for us." I slowly moved over to where Emma was sitting and moved to lie down with her. She wrapped her arm around my waist and reached for the remote before turning on a movie.
