Family ties

Early morning sunlight was streaming through the window of Regina Mills bedroom, and onto the pale skin of the woman asleep atop to the california king mattress. The blankets were all on the floor, apart from a sheet that was currently wrapped around the naked form of the blonde cop. Pressing an arm over her eyes to block out the sun, Emma's hand reached out to the spot next to her where Regina had previously occupied. Coming up empty the blonde removed her arm from over her eyes and sat up just a bit, blinking in the bright light of day, looking around the room for her lover as her eyes tried to adjust to the sun.

Looking over the room she'd been living in going on two months, Emma sat up, pulling the sheet over her chest and scooting toward the edge of the bed. "Regina?" Emma called out in quiet husky voice as she stood from the bed. Getting no response Emma shook her head and sighed, sometimes she hated living here, what was the point of living with someone if you couldn't even really wake up with them next to you. Walking across the room toward their conjoined closet, Emma slipped one of Regina's black silk robes from a hanger and she slipped it on covering her naked body. Walking past the mirror she looked over her appearance, running a hand through her night platinum long blonde hair.

Emma's old hair coloring had started to fade and had grown out quite a bit, so Regina had surprised Emma with a spa day, allowing her to do anything to her hair that she wanted, except cutting it really short, and so Emma did... and the reward she'd gotten once Regina had picked her up had been well worth redoing her blonde hair.

Shaking her head Emma opened the door and she slowly walked from their room, down the hall, down the stairs and into the kitchen. The cook, Peter, was just finishing up cooking breakfast when Emma appeared in the kitchen. "Hello Miss Swan." came his feminine voice, Peter was the gayest man Emma had ever met and in all honesty she adored him. "Miss Mills is out in the garden... her sister, Zelena, showed up this morning for a visit with little Robyn." he explained, turning to face her. Emma looked at him with wide eyes, "Wh... I thought Regina's sister was dead." She blurted without thinking.

"Everyone thinks she is dear, that's why she doesn't come around often." He said and Emma glanced toward the door, "I need to get dressed." she said before turning tail and speed walking upstairs and into the bedroom. The first thing Emma did was get dressed, wearing a pair of skin tight jeans, followed by a black tank top, she tied her knee high boots before looking for her phone. Opening up an email thread she began typing.

Kat,

This morning I woke up to the news that Zelena Mills is still alive, I am unsure of where she has been hiding out, but she is here, now... I'll send you more details when and if I can get them.
-Emma.

A high pitched child's laughter momentarily distracted Emma, and the blonde walked over to the window. Moving the curtain to the side Emma looked down the see Regina with a little girl in her arms, the girl was probably no older than 4 years old. She had strawberry blonde hair, and the biggest, happiest smile on her face. Next to them was a tall Redhead, but what caught Emma's eye was the fact that the woman was very pregnant. Emma's breath caught in her throat at the sight and she stood there watching them for quite some time before looking back down to the phone in her hand with the email typed out.

Hearing the giggle again Emma shook her head, deleted the email, and slid her phone into her pocket before she finished getting ready and headed back down stairs, "Would you mind telling Miss Mills that breakfast is finished?" Peter asked as Emma walked by him toward the glass doors. Pausing she gave him a big smile and nodded, "Of course."

Opening the door, Emma silently slipped outside and she took a deep shaky breath before walking out quietly and she slipped her arms around Regina from behind after she put the little girl down. The brunette tensed for just a moment before looking over her shoulder. The sight of the blonde alone was enough to make Regina's body melt back into her and she smiled brightly. "I was wondering when you were going to wake up sleepy head."
