It's better with you by OceanAndARock for oakbrush (Oakbrush)

Summary
Emma has never felt like she belonged. She moves to small town Storybrooke hoping to find friendship, community and maybe even love. She rents a room in Regina's house and her world is shaken up when she discovers her housemate is gay, but is Emma ready to question her own sexuality?
A slow burn Swan Queen story loosely based on the novel Stir-fry by Emma Donoghue.
----
“Not everyone would feel comfortable living with a lesbian,” Regina says.“Is that why you didn’t tell me?”
“I didn’t want to make a big announcement when you moved in, and I thought you’d realize. Then time passed and it felt like it had been too long to suddenly tell you, but it seems like you did realize after all.”
“Only because I saw you and Mal kissing in the kitchen when I came down for water last night,” Emma admits. “Although now I know it seems obvious in retrospect.”
Neither of them say anything for a while, then Emma says, “I am more comfortable living with you than I have been anywhere else I have lived.”

Summary
"I loved all of them. But you knew that I would, didn't you? I don't know how, but you knew that I wanted all of these things as a little girl. How did you know? I mean, I never told anyone about some of these things. Well, except for…" Emma's eyes go wide as the thought strikes her again, the same one she'd had days before. "Oh god! Tell me you aren't Santa Claus."

Summary
“I’m sorry Miss Swan, but we are entirely booked up.”
Emma snatches the key card with a huff. “Fine.”
Regina follows along behind her, muttering about how she knew she should have made the reservations herself.
Henry offers the desk clerk a smile before sliding an envelope her way, giving her a wink, then turning to follow after his mothers.

Summary
She thought she could do this. She thought she could handle it, but now she knows for certain that she can't. She can't attend the wedding. She can't sit there and watch Regina marry Robin when all that she wants is to be the one in his place, just like she is now. This is torture, plain and simple, and Emma can't take it.
She lets go of Regina's hands, taking a step backward, ready to run for it, but Tink's voice cuts through and stops her.
"Ah, just one more thing, Emma. We still need to practice the binding."

Summary
“It’s just, I uh, I figure that if – and it’s still a big if – but if I’m going to be dating your mom, then I’m going to be dating you too.” Emma’s eyes got big as she realized what she said. “Oh, no, wait. No. God. No. That sounds wrong. Like, really wrong. I’m not like that.”
Henry giggled at Emma’s discomfort and Regina had to work to hide her own smile.

Summary
Emma feels pretty certain that in a past life she must've done something really terrible. Like, maybe she was Judas or Brutus or Benedict Arnold or something. Because bad karma is about the only explanation she can come up with for her cosmic bad luck. She is surely being punished for something, otherwise she wouldn't currently be stuck in an elevator with Regina, who is quite happily listing all the ways that this is entirely Emma's fault.

Summary
Emma shrugged at him, trying to keep her voice gentle. "When you have no one to celebrate with, there's not a lot of use in celebrating." Henry pulled the last of the boxes out from where it had been tucked away and then chewed on his lip for a few moments before he finally found his voice. "Hey, Emma? I've got an idea."

Holding Emma, soaked to the bone, as they danced among the rain drops was the best moment that Regina could remember, besides the moment that Henry had first been placed in her arms.

Summary
Regina would know exactly what to do in this situation. She'd lived through it for years. Emma hadn't. This is the first real parental duty that she's been asked to do on her own and she's sure that she's going to screw it up. She hates that Henry wants to be soothed and she won't be able to do it. Because Regina had been right. She was and is Henry's mother.
