What Isnt Expected

Twenty-Two

One time turned into two. Two times turned into three. Three times turn into a million. I stay on top of her, easing my lungs from the torment, and focusing on the look she is giving me. She wants more and I want it too. So, I move once again.

The bed moves, she moves, everything moves. It all feels so good, I crave every moment of this. The more we do this, the more the pressure in my gut builds. As soon as it explodes throughout my body, I feel like I'm on cloud nine. The feeling is so intense, so amazing, that I want to do it all again.

"That is it! No more!" I snap at her, even though I'm initially the cause of the last one, but the one this morning and before lunch was all her.

All I see is Regina's back as she leans against the sink. Her body totally deflated. I just want my kids back but we can't get them back if we keep fucking all the damn time. "I need a drink..."

"Oh no...don't you fucking dare Emma Swan!" She quickly whips around scaring the shit out of me. I stumble back a bit and crash into the counter.

"Come on! Just one? We had sex 5 times today and three was because of you." I plead. Regina sighs and dramatically rests her head in her hand.

"Okay and one glass turns into like 5 and then I smell it on you, then I'm going to want it. Then we will be drunk and would probably fuck again." That's our schedule. It's like a whole game plan written into the air by her voice.

She's totally right. We can't keep doing this. It wouldn't be surprising if she threw away every bottle we have and every toy. Anything tempting in this house makes me want to throw it away. She then mumbles, "Damn you Emma."

"What the hell did I do?!" I snap. Seriously what could she possibly be blaming for now? Regina steps up to me and grabs my shoulders with a death grip. Even that little act zaps my core awake! Are you fucking kidding me?!

Regina gazes into my eyes deeply. That look is so serious, so I straighten my posture and focus on her eyes alone so I don't get trapped in endless fantasies that I want to bring to life. "We. Need. Help."

"So what? You want to go to rehab or something?" Regina smirks and shakes her head at me. I'm so unsure about that grin.

The doorbell rings. She did not do what I think she did. After looking through the peep hole, I step back and open the door, "Hey!" The brunette smirks.

"Emmy!" Ruby beams and crashes into my body. We nearly fell together as I hold her tight. Dorothy takes that opportunity to shuffle into our home with bags as if she's staying for a few days.

"Where's Reg?" She questions. Before I could answer, Regina tumbles down the stairs and towards us. She takes Dorothy's bags and says,

"You're in the first room." My eyes widen and I gaze down at Ruby. You've got to be fucking kidding me!

First of all, Ruby has yet to let me go. I've come to accept her little role but it gets so annoying at times. She knows this, and only likes to push my buttons intentionally. Now I'm going to be stuck with her for the next few weeks?! Is this Regina's way of sobering us?!

"I think I'll have that drink now!" I call out while attempting to pry Ruby from me. She finally let's me go but gives me the most adorable look ever.

Her face scrounges into a scold. She focuses on me intently and shoves her finger in my face, "No No Emma!"

"No no is right." Dorothy agrees. She walks past me and lifts Ruby in her arms. They are both giving me a death glare now. I throw my hands up in surrender.

"Okay okay, fine." I groan. Regina steps behind me and pulls me in close. My skin begins to burn. I'm sure my body physically melted because Dorothy uses her man strength to pull us away.

"What the hell?" Regina mutters. What the hell is right. Dorothy's cold stare remains. She looks between us and adjusts Ruby on her hip.

"Here's what's going to happen." She directs. "I'm staying here. And you are staying at Granny's with Ruby." She points at me. What?!

"To hell she is!" Regina snaps. I know she's about to freak out.

We're like velcro and I literally feel like I would die if she isn't close. School is different because I have a distraction but I'm going to be all the way across town! I may not be showing it but I am freaking out too.

"Yes you are. If you want to break this in two weeks you don't need to be in eyesight of each other." Regina groans and I whine.

"But we're still in love Dor! What am I going to do without her?!" My lip trembles. This totally feels like a break up. I just know that I will lose myself.

"Live." Dorothy deadpans. She sets Ruby down. Immediately the brunette seems to fall back into normal state. She's completely the Ruby I know and love.

"Come on Em, you should pack." She says and holds out her hand. Frantically I shake my head and shove myself into Regina. I love how she wraps me into her secure embrace. "Now who's the child?"

"I'm not leaving her." I conclude. Dorothy heavily sighs and pulls us apart once again.

"Yea you are. Go pack Emma, trust me you can do this". She encourages. I look up to Regina who gives me a small smile. With a nod to her head she encourages me as well.

I let out a deep breath and reluctantly take Ruby's hand. Every step I take to our bedroom causes me to die inside.
