Our Son

Chapter Sixteen

Emma

"So! What shall we have for dinner, Madame Mayor?" I ask as I prance into the kitchen.

"Pizza!" Henry squeals as he curves around the corner. I place my hands on my hips and smirk at him.

"Thank you Madame Mayor." I mutter. He smiles shyly. Regina walks in from the same corner he did.

"Pizza is fine, Dear." she says and walks over to the cabinet, opening it to find all the ingredients for pizza.

"Weird..." I mumble to myself and go up to the cabinet next to hers. "And hot chocolate!" I swing open the door and find every ingredient for hot chocolate.

"Sweet." Henry and I say at the same time, causing Regina to smirk as she pulls out the flour and yeast and other ingredients for the dough. I didn't really get how she wasn't absolutley fascinated with all this, magic. I went to the fridge and pulled out a water bottle, taking a sip.
"So, do you guys have a radio or something in y'alls room? I think I heard this amazing song sung by an angel." I gagged on my water and Regina burst out laughing. Henry stood there, completely confused as I looked like a dying fish and his usually serious mother was doubled over laughing.
"Something like that, Henry." The brunette said as she wiped under her eyes and took a deep breath. She placed her hands on the counter and smiled at him. "How about you go check out that cool new living room upstairs and give your mom and I some time to make dinner. It may take a while." I choked on my second sip of water.

"Deal!" He shouted as he ran up the stairs.

"No running in the house!" She yelled after him then turned to me. "Have you recovered from your struggle yet Ms. Swan?" She questioned and I playfully glared at her.

"Let's just make the pizza, already." A michevious smirk appears on ny face. "Or better yet, we could skip dinner..." I take a step to her and press my body flush against hers, hence pinning her against the kitchen island. "and go straight to dessert." I watch her throat hungrily as she swallows. She blinks rapidly and then slips out from underneath me to the side.

"Umm, I'm sure Henry is hungry."

"He's not the only one." I say, never breaking eye contact with her. I can feel my eyes darkening and my gut clenching up. Her mouth drops open slightly at my words and I attack her with a hungry kiss. Its loud and sloppy and has my name written all over it. My hands run down her sides and reach the bottom of her thighs, where I lift her legs up and wrap them around my waist. Her hands tangle in my hair and bring my head closer to hers. I move my lips to her jawline and neck and place hot kisses all over it, causing her to pant.

"Oh my...Emma!" I growl as I hear her response to me biting and sucking on her weak spot. This was going to leave a mark, but it doesn't matter because she is mine and mine only.

"I really wanna get you on your back in that bed upstairs right now." I groan against her collarbone and leave my lips there a moment, waiting for her response. Her chest rises and falls rapidly.

"Dinner first." She breathes out and I close my eyes in disappointment. I set her down and roll up my sleeves.

"Right then." I grab a bowl and pan from the drawer below, "Let's make this quick."

"Dinners ready!" I shout upstairs and Henrys darting down before I can even say, "Wash up".

"Wash your han-"

"Already did!" He interrupts and I raise my brow in shock.

"Alrighty then." I mumble to myself as I follow Henry into the dining room, where the dinner awaits.

We sit around the table and eat the pizza, which was delicious by the way, until its all gone. Mostly thanks to Henry, whom ate half the pizza in about 10 minutes.

I took the plates and cups and rinsed them, then placed them in the dishwasher, starting it and turning around to find the sexiest face in the world inches from mine.

"Still hungry?" She whispers and wraps her hands around my waist, making my knees go weak. Work brain, work. I contain my thoughts and kiss her nose lightly. Her pupils seem to go back down to their regular size and I can practically feel her relax. She crinkles the bridge of her nose and I smile. She's so damn cute.

"I have an idea."

"Oh? It's a miracle." I smirk and gently take her arms off my waist. I make a speedy trip upstairs.

"Time for bed, Henry! We love you!"

"Love you too!" I heard back from his room, then I heard a softer, "I love this family." and I smiled. I grabbed a blanket off the couch and walked back down the stairs.

"Come on sexy." I tease as I take Regina's hand and we walk out side. It's black, but I can still manage to see where I'm walking and I lay out the blanket in the grass. Sitting down, I hold out my hand for the brunette to take. "Wait, help me up I forgot something."

"What?" She takes my hand and I pull her down on top of me. She screams in shock then slaps my arm.

"You were taking too long." I laugh and she snuggles into my side. The air was cool and breezy and when I looked up I saw a billion stars.

"Wow. It's beautiful..." she mummurs. I hadn't seen stars like this in a long time.

"Not as beautiful as you." I reply softly. There's a beat of silence and then she props herself up on one elbow.

"Can I say something really weird and straight forward?" She asks with a sheepish look. I smile and play with a blade of grass.

"Sure." she waits another second until continuing.

"I know that we've only been together for what, two days?" I nod. "But I feel like we've been together our whole lives and when Graham knocked you un-consious, I thought I had lost you. I-" Her voice falters and I look over at her. "I shot him, Emma. I shot him and killed him and I have done so much worse to people, but I just-I didn't do it to protect myself this time...I did it to protect you. Because you-you" Tears start rolling down her cheeks and she closes her eyes. "You mean everything to me." I sit up and pull her to me. She cries into my shirt. "And I love you." she sobs out. I feel tears begin to brim my eyes.

"I love you too, Regina Mills, evil or not, you are the most amazing person I've ever met and I never want to loose you." I kiss the top of her head as her crying subsides. She looks me in the eyes with glassy ones and then kisses me with the most passionate kiss we have ever shared. I lay us back down, and we watch the stars for what seems like hours, enjoying each others warmth until I hear her breathing become slow and steady and realize she's asleep.

After carrying her light form bridal style up the stairs and placing her in the bed, I strip off my shorts and shirt and put on a XL old camp shirt I found in the closet. I brush my teeth and put my hair up in a high ponytail, then slide into the sheets next to her, wrapping my arms around her waist and falling into a perfect, dreamless sleep with my Regina, Mayor of Storybrooke, Queen of fairytale land, and owner of my heart.
