Memories

Chapter 7

Regina was preparing to go and retrieve Henry from his visit with his mother, Regina herself had planned on attending this morning, but she got held up dealing with Emma's car and the preparations for getting it restored back to its former glory. Regina had been up a number of times since their little sleepover, they spent their time talking about work and Henry, Regina filled Emma in on everything that has happened in the town since the curse broke and laughed about Snow's reaction to finding out about their relationship. Regina hasn't seen Ruby since the fight, but that didn't stop the younger brunette from texting and calling non stop. Regina wasn't entirely mad at her anymore, she just wasn't in the mood for yet another fight about the blonde Sheriff. The Mayor was about to head out when there was a loud bag at the door, confused about who could possibly be calling on her, moving swiftly towards the large mansion door, she opened it to revel Ruby with her arms filled with a dozen red roses and Regina's favourite chocolates.

"Hear me out baby, I am so sorry for what happened last week. I'm a jerk!" Regina turned on her heel, leaving the front door open for the brunette to enter. "I'm more than I jerk, I'm a jealous insecure ass!" Ruby continued as she followed Regina into the house.

"I agree completely!" The older brunette spoke finally. "I really thought that you were mature enough for this relationship, but it seems that you've proven me incorrect."

"I am mature enough for this, baby you are all I want, and I know I screwed up and I'm sorry and I'm willing to spend the rest of my life proving how ready I am for this relationship...if you'll still have me?" Ruby moved closer, sporting her famous puppy dog...wolf, face.

"I'm not one to give up so easily, I'm willing to give you one last chance Miss Lucas, but mainly because you brought me my favourite chocolates in the world." Regina lied as she walked up to kiss the brunette quickly, truthfully there was only one person that knew where to get her favourite chocolates, Emma, the blonde had brought them back for her from a small chocolate shop in New York, one time after she had to go and bail Killian out of jail. "Be a dear and put those roses in some water while I finish up getting ready!" Regina smiled sweetly before disappearing up the stairs even though she didn't actually need anything, she just wanted a breather before facing the brunette. She was happy that they managed to work things out, but there was a small fraction of her that wouldn't have minded if their relationship had run its course. She knew that it horrible for her to be having those types of thoughts, but she couldn't help it.

Re-emerging downstairs Regina found Ruby sitting casually on the couch with the local news channel playing. Tip toeing up behind the brunette, she gently wrapped her arms around the younger woman, before placing a small kiss on her cheek.

"I'm afraid I have to head out to the hospital, Emma has Henry and I said I would stop in for a while." Regina cuddled into Ruby's neck, in return Ruby gripped onto Regina's arms, pulling her closer.

"Want me to stay and put dinner on?" Ruby's answer surprised the older woman, making her pull away to look down at her. "Hey I told you I'm cool with all this, Emma needs you end of discussion. Just so long as it's me you come home to every night, I don't care how much time you spend with Emma." Ruby turned around in the couch to face Regina, wiggling her eyebrows at the brunette she pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

"Thank you dear and dinner sounds amazing..." Regina purred into kiss.

"On second thought, why don't I just go with you. I'm well overdue a visit with Emma, and I want to show you how cool I am." Ruby suggested as her grip on the older woman tightened.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Regina mumbled as Ruby placed small kisses on her neck.

"Definitely. Emma will love a friendly face and you never know, I might be able to jog a memory or two!"
