Just saying... 🐸☕️ okay okay here's the chapter:
His queen had gotten over her cold quite quickly. Jefferson was so happy with her, just to be able to hold her petite body against his was comforting. Having his daughter back and a girlfriend made his world. He wanted to make it known, to acknowledge his feelings and not be afraid to express them with some PDA.
He wondered how the people would react, but he shouldn't care. He just wanted her to be excepted and loved.
Jefferson decided to call Regina to tell her good morning. She didn't always stay overnight because she'd basically have to move in.
"Regina hey...so-". Then he heard a knock at the door. He opened it today reveal his girlfriend.
"Hey," she said through the phone and put it away before running into his arms.
"I said I was going to pick you up," he said and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Too late," she said and chuckled before kissing him.
The kiss turned quite passionate until Grace walked in. She cleared her throat.
"Can we go to Granny's for breakfast?" Grace asked.
The couple turned bright red. "Uh yeah yeah sure," he confirmed.
...
Grace was ahead of the couple while walking from the car. Jefferson's and Regina's hands were linked together as she laid her head in the crook of his neck. Before Grace entered the diner she turned to see her dad making out with Regina. She loved them to death, but sometimes they just need to do their sessions elsewhere.
It's as if Regina and Jefferson were oblivious to their surroundings as they kissed quite fiercely. His hands trailed up her back and one hand gripped her head and ran his fingers through her hair. Her arms were linked around his neck pulling him closer.
"As much as I love you guys, I kind of need to eat," Grace said.
The couple parted reluctantly and turned red once again. "Sorry, sweetheart. We'll be a minute," Regina said and laughed a little.
Grace went inside as the couple embraced. "You ready to go in?" He asked. He ran his hand through her hair again and pushed a lock behind her ear. His hand caressed her cheek and she turned red. She loved his caring and gentle touches.
"I suppose. I'm just nervous. You know since the last time we were there together, we weren't dating."
"I know. But just ignore anything negative and take all the positives," he said to her before lightly pressing his lips to hers.
...
They walked in hand in hand. Regina gripped his hand tightly as for she was nervous. The diner went silent as the people saw the former Evil Queen and Mad Hatter hold hands.
"Hey mom!" Henry said coming from his seat near David. He hugged his mom and tightly. She smiled and hugged him back.
"Get back to your business people nothing to see here," Jefferson announced.
"Can I go home with you tonight?" Henry asked.
"Oh of course. As long as David is okay with that," she said to him and walked over to David as Jefferson joined Grace in a booth.
"Is it alright if Henry stays at my house for the night?" She asked David.
"Yeah that's fine," he said as he took a swig of whiskey.
"What's wrong. You shouldn't be drinking and then driving later."
"Nothing's wrong," he slurred.
He put a hand on his shoulder and said, "David you're drunk. Tell me what's wrong."
"Why do you care?" He hissed.
"I'm just trying to be friendly and maybe people will except me." She studied his face. "You miss them don't you?"
He turned to look at her and then got up sloppily. Who the hell gets drunk in the morning?
"Whoa whoa." She grabbed his arm. "You're not going anywhere. Red can he stay in one of the rooms for a bit?"
"Yeah, Dave. C'mon." Red walked around the corner of the bar and helped him back in the motel.
Regina walked over to Henry, Grace, and Jefferson. She sat next to her boyfriend and they linked hands on the table. "Sorry about that. He just looked like he needed help."
"No that's good. You're trying Regina. One step closer to being a hero. Personally I already see you as a hero, but-"
"Thanks," she interjected and kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm glad you guys are together," Henry said.
"We're a family," Grace claimed.
Regina held back happy tears as she pulled Grace next to her. "Yes. Yes we are."
...
Red got back from helping David book a room for the day and night. She smirked at the new couple just constantly looking at each other lovingly.
"You guys are too cute," Red said.
Jefferson and Regina just laughed. "But really don't let anyone bring you guys down. I think you're really changing Regina."
"Thanks Red," Regina said with a smile.
...
The Enchanted Forest: Present
Snow and Emma trailed behind the pirate, Captain Hook to be exact.
"What do you think is going on back in Storybrooke?" Snow asked.
"I dunno," Emma responded.
"Hopefully we will soon."
"Alright, love. This here is the beanstalk."
"Yeah I can see that Captain Obvious. Now what do we do."
"We climb it, love. Care to accompany me on this endeavor for a compass?" He asked flirtatiously.
Emma rolled her eyes and said, "Fine. But don't get any funny ideas."
...
Storybrooke: Regina's Mansion
Grace and Jefferson packed some clothes for the night and next day. Henry still had plenty of clothes at Regina's and his room was pristine like she told him to make everyday.
"Whoa! This place is huge," Grace said in amazement.
"Yep. Henry show Grace her room. You're right across from each other."
"Sure mom."
"And you," Regina pulled at Jefferson's collar and continued, "Can stay in my room," she said seductively and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a very passionate kiss.
"EW!" Grace and Henry said simultaneously. They thought of Jefferson and Regina in the same bed. It was gross to them. They sort of knew that in the same bed for a couple meant something, because they were taking human growth and development.
"Sorry.....again," Regina said.
...
Grace and Henry had fallen asleep in their rooms. Regina gave Henry a kiss on the forehead and adjusted his blanket. Both Jefferson and Regina gave Grace a kiss before bed.
"Now, for that fun part of the night," Jefferson said and moved in to kiss Regina.
"Jefferson I was thinking..." He kissed her neck. "That your house....you should....uh....sell it." Be stopped kissing her.
"What do you mean?"
"I meant that....I was thinking. You could move in here," she said nervously.
"Really?"
"Yeah...I-I was thinking that maybe someone else could use a house and give it to someone who deserves it."
"I love you," he said and slammed his lips into hers causing her to whimper in shock, but she liked it.
"Wha-what about.....the house," she asked as he kissed her.
"We'll chat in the morning, my queen." He winked at her before kissing her once again.
God I love this woman!
