Chapter 1.
Tinkerbell sighed as she watched David yell at Hook for eating all the berries Mary Margaret had foraged for them earlier that day. The pixie haired woman was pulling her husband away while Emma shook her head at them.
"So that's the famous Snow White?" The fairy peered over at the woman, already hating her.
Regina scoffed and pulled two apples from a tree overhead tossing one to the fairy. "Yeah. She has managed to get more annoying."
Tinkerbell looked at the apple cautiously before taking a bite. "Then why is she with you, why is she here to save Henry?"
Regina sighed. "Long story." She took a large bite of her apple and grimaced at the taste, thinking longingly of her honey crisp apples from back home and how the apples here paled in comparason to it.
"Well I've got time." The blonde offered wanting to know more about the former queen.
"She is kind of my son's grandmother." Regina watched as the fairy stared at her completely perplexed.
"How the hell does that...that doesn't make any sense."
"You see the blonde that is standing by her?" Regina pointed subtly towards Emma.
"Yeah that's her sister right?" Tinkerbell said assuming she was right.
"That's Snow White's daughter." Regina said offhandly as she took another bite not realizing what effect her words had on the fairy.
"WHAT?!" She yelled causing everyone to turn to look at her curiously.
"Can I help you?" She challenged. David looked at the woman and shrugged not wanting to get into another arguement. Mary Margaret gulped and looked down. Hook stole another berry while everyone else was distracted. Emma meanwhile stared at them wondering why they were so friendly.
Tinkerbell turned her attention back to Regina.
"Okay so, what did she get trapped in some kind of spell. Like one I remember that aged a person 5 times as fast as a regular person?" She asked her mind racing as to why they looked the same age.
"No, I cast a curse...had a time loop kind of thing and Emma was outside it." Regina explained. Tinkerbell looked over again at the group.
"So, is the blonde one Snow's son too? Is he Henry's father?" She peered over her shoulder to look at Charming sitting next to Snow running his hand up and down her thigh. She continued watching them in disgust at how creepy it was to be that close to one's mother.
"Ugh, Charming, no. No, he's her husband...No, uh, Emma is Henry's mom and I am too."
Tinkerbell gripped her arm tightly dropping her apple to the ground. "Ow, Tink." Regina pulled away from her vice like hands.
"You and the angry blonde? Is that why she is so protective of you. Oh! This explains why you muttered her name in your sleep."
"I didn't!" Regina blushed at how her words sounded out of context. "She is his birth mother. I adopted him." The mayor explained.
"It is cool that you can have kids. Are you able to marry in your world?" Her eagerness getting the better of her.
"We are not...we aren't...ugh. Emma gave birth to him and put him up for adoption. I adopted him and then she came back into ou- into his life." Regina sighed and tugged on the hem of her shirt.
"So you aren't together?" Tinkerbell asked, slowly drawing out each word.
"No."
"But you want to be." She grinned knowing she was right as she looked back over at the other woman who was picking at the berries in front of her.
"I don't." The mayor protested hoping the blonde would drop it.
"C'mon Regina, running from love again?"
"I don't..." She sighed and ran a finger through her hair. "Emma and I are not...besides she has the pirate and a dead guy to pine over." Regina shook her head and balled her hands trying to calm herself from saying something she didn't want to say.
"Please like they are any competition when there is you." She bumped her elbow off Regina's a toothy grin taking over her face.
Regina looked up with a look of desperation. "You think?"
"I know." Her tone was confident but Regina sighed at the fairy.
"No, it doesn't matter. I don't love her." She told her but Tinkerbell rolled her eyes.
"I know love when I see it. You know you don't have to lie to me, I won't tell her." Tinkerbell whispered and placed a comforting hand on her arm.
"Why are you being nice to me. Didn't I ruin your life." Regina asked cautiously, not to sure if she could entirely trust the blonde and she wasn't in the mood to be double crossed.
"No, it was my fault. I used the wrong dust anyway."
"Why do you say that?"
"There is a different one for queer beings." Regina slapped her shoulder and shushed her not wanting the others to overhear her.
"I don't see you denying it."
"I'm...not...going to." Regina gave her a weak smile finally feeling a small bit of relief from getting it off her chest.
"Am I the first person you told about her?" Regina nodded as a response to the question causing Tinkerbell to pull her into a tight hug.
Emma leaned back on the log she was sitting on next to her mother having watched the two for some time.
"Why are they cuddling, they wanted to kill each other like three hours ago." She asked suspiciously trying to ignore the sinking feeling that was currently happening in her stomach.
"Regina has that relationship with every one. You must know considering that is just like you and her." Snow said offhandedly looking down at her portion of berries, most of them bruised.
"Well I'd say we're different." Emma said confidently as she watched the two woman still embracing. She took a berry eating with a scowl on her face.
"Why's that?"
"I don't know right we just are." Emma bit back and ate another berry.
"Alright." Mary Margaret noticed that Emma was upset and knew from experience that getting her to talk it out usually got her blaming her for abandoning her and she wasn't mentally prepared for another arguement like that.
"What the hell are they even talking about?" Emma huffed as she watched Regina giggle at something and playfully shove the other blonde.
Tinkerbell hugged Regina again and saw from over the brunette's shoulder that she seemed even more angrier than usual.
"Does she ever smile?" Tinkerbell asked when they seperated from a second embrace.
"Who? Emma?" She glanced over.
"Well I should head back to my home. I will be back tomorrow." Tink leaned over and placed a kiss on Regina's cheek and headed off. She looked over to see Emma scowl more than she was before.
Regina blushed and watched the fairy walk by Emma and sighed against the tree, muttering to herself. "Fucking blondes."
