Regina smiled and placed a gentle kiss on the finger that covered her lips and Emma blushed and then returned to her clearing away of the games console.

“I take it Belle is okay?” Regina said, “I assumed you wouldn’t wish to discuss it when you returned?”

Emma coiled up a power cable and nodded, “Belle’s fine, Gold healed her.. and eradicated all evidence,” she shook her head.

“I’d do the same,” Regina whispered.

Emma smiled, “I’d do the same for you, if I could.”

“So, what happened?” Regina asked, “if you can tell me?”

“Someone broke into Gold’s shop and stole some stuff,” Emma said without going into too much detail. She didn’t suspect Regina but she also didn’t want to needlessly worry the woman until she had more information to divulge.

“They hit Belle over the head but she can’t remember anything. Gold’s going to see what was taken and give me a list tomorrow,” Emma finished as she stacked all the games console equipment on the coffee table and then sat next to Regina on the sofa.

“Anyway,” Emma said, “I really don’t want to talk about Gold.”

“Me neither,” Regina admitted.

Emma leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Regina’s lips which caused Regina to gently bring her hand up to hold Emma’s arm to both steady herself and to keep the blonde in place just in case. They shared a few gentle kisses as they tested each other and grew in confidence.

Emma’s hands wrapped around Regina’s back and held the brunette softly whilst running her hands up and down the older woman’s spine. Regina used her other arm to wrap around the blonde and forcefully bring her body closer so their legs were pressed against each other as they sat side by side.

It was Emma who deepened the kiss and falteringly opened her mouth and was relieved when Regina did the same and their soft kisses progressed to open mouthed kisses. The arm around Emma’s back started to wander down until Regina was resting her hand on Emma’s rear.

Emma smiled at the contact and it bolstered her confidence and she deepened the kiss again and adjusted her hands so she could gently guide Regina back so she was laying down and Emma partially rested her body on top of her. The movement and the pressure caused Regina to hum in satisfaction and swipe her tongue into Emma’s mouth which in turn caused Emma to softly moan.

Regina intensified her grip on the blonde’s backside and brought her other hand up to roam over Emma’s back possessively and Emma moved her hand around to Regina’s stomach and slowly brought it up her body until she neared her breast.

Emma tore her mouth away and said, “may I?”

“If you don’t I might explode,” Regina said and leaned up to seize Emma’s mouth again with her own.

Emma inched her hand higher and it grazed over Regina’s sweater and bra-covered breast but it still felt so amazingly sexual to Emma who moaned into Regina’s mouth again at the touch.

The baby monitor crackled to life and Grace made a sound like she was on the cusp of waking and both women paused and turned to stare at the device that was on the table beside them. Regina had her hands on Emma’s rear and back and Emma had hers in Regina’s hair and on her breast. They stared at the device as they waited to see what would happen as they heard the tossing and turning of a baby and soft verbalisations.

After a few moments the device went quiet and the women realised that Grace wasn’t about to wake up. They looked at each other and let out gentle laughter and Emma eased herself up off of Regina and blushed a little. Regina peeled herself off the sofa and fixed her hair and laughed, “well, that was..” she trailed off as she realised she didn’t really know what it was.

“Yeah,” Emma agreed as she felt the same, exhilarated, terrified, aroused, confused but overall, happy.

“We should..” Regina said as she pointed to the ceiling and then quickly added, “separately! Not that..” she laughed, “I’m really not very good at this.”

Emma laughed, “that makes two of us.. but, yes, I agree, we should go to bed. Separately.. it’s a bit soon,” she waved her hand between them in a gesture she hoped Regina would understand.

Regina nodded, “agreed, I.. we said we’d take it slowly..”

Emma nodded, “yes, I.. I think that’s for the best. For both of us..”

There was a breath of relief from both of them as they simultaneously realised that they had both enjoyed the experience but also both needed time to process events before they took things to another level.

They stood up and Emma looked at the snacks and drinks that were still on the table but as she looked at the Regina waved her hand and they all vanished.

“Don’t take this the wrong way,” Regina said and Emma held her breath, “but do you need assistance with sleeping tonight?”

Emma let out the breath and smiled, “no, I think I’ll be okay, I have sweet things to think about tonight.”

Regina smiled and dipped her head, “me too,” she pointed to the kitchen, “I’m just going to..” she trailed off.
