The morning after the proposal Regina was awake first and, in the kitchen, making her and Emma breakfast. Henry had made himself scarce by going to his grandparents' house, giving them both a nod and hug goodbye, he left the house his face turning bright red, after he had accidently heard the conversation that was occurring between his moms about their 'activities' to come later.
Emma wakes up puzzled as to why her bed is empty and very aware of the fact that she is still naked on the bed. Remembering Henry is away she slowly descends the stairs, noticing the smell of bacon and coffee she smiles as she turns and notices that there are two plates on the counter
'she is cooking for herself again.'
Emma smiles before silently wrapping her very naked body around Regina's robe covered waist from behind. Regina moves her head smiling and kissing the bottom of her lip.
"Good morning my wife to be."
"Good morning Gina."
Turning around to face Emma, Regina jumps back just realising her fiancés lack of attire.
Wow she is beautiful. Why can't I be like that?'
Regina slowly looking down and then grabbing Emma by the waist,
"Why don't we forget about breakfast right now?"
With a flourish their food and plates are gone, Regina lifting Emma onto the breakfast counter as Emma grabs the dark hair beneath her.
After a second and third round it had reached lunch time and both women were very hungry. As well as extremely aware that Henry is supposed to be home soon.
Getting into a shower – together – they finished cleaning themselves and started to get dressed.
Regina looking at her ring smiled but suddenly her world turned bleak.
"You must marry him Regina! You have no choice!"
"Mother! He is as old as father; I cannot marry him!"
Cora raises her hand and threatens her daughter with a fireball. Throwing it just above Regina's head, Regina stares at her mother wide eyed.
"You haven't threatened me in a long time ever since I saved Snow. Why now?"
"Oh child, I never threatened you, I was reprimanding you and helping you become strong, not so childish!"
Regina bows her head slowly and speaks softly,
"Yes mother, I understand."
"Regina? Regina. Honey? What's going on, what are you seeing? I am here. You are safe. I love you. You are cared for."
Emma continues to hold onto Regina who had fallen back and was now sitting on the bed. Regina slowly comes around from her flashback,
"Emma. I am scared. I love you but, getting married I don't, I just. I."
With that Regina crumbles into Emma's arm, and cries.
"Gina, honey. What is wrong? What don't you know?"
Slowly rocking the shorter woman in her body, she starts the get tears in her own eyes.
"Em. I love you. But Leopold, he-"
