Mary Margaret Blanchard finally finished folding the laundry and walked into her roommate Emma Swan's room. She balanced the basket of clothes against her waist while pushing the door open. Mary Margaret pulled out a few stacks of clothes and sat them on the bed, when she heard a chiming sound come from the nightstand. The brunette looked over and saw that her friend's phone was lit, just as another chime sound rang out. Mary Margaret picked up the phone slowly and clicked the Home button, seeing Regina (2) across the middle of the screen. "No. I won't read it." she said while grabbing the basket and walking back towards the door. Another chime sound came from the nightstand, making the woman turn back into the room. Mary Margaret stopped herself, knowing she shouldn't invade Emma's privacy; but why was Regina texting her - repeatedly? Maybe something was wrong with Henry. That's the only thing the women could talk about and not scream at each other... the majority of the time. "For Henry..." Mary Margaret thought as she sat the basket on the bed and grabbed Emma's phone. She pressed the button again, seeing three messages from Madam Mayor on the screen in gray:
"Hello darling."
"Are you still coming over tonight?"
"Henry has therapy so we'll be alone :)"
Mary Margaret felt her breath quicken. "Why is Emma going to Regina's when Henry isn't there?" she thought, re-reading the three messages over and over. Emma slowly walked into her room, a towel wrapped around her head. Mary Margaret jumped off the bed, dropping Emma's phone onto the floor. "What the hell's going on?" the Sheriff said as her friend walked towards her. "Emma, it's not what it looks like." Mary Margaret said while putting her hands in front of her, feeling her throat turn dry. "You were snooping on my phone?!" Emma yelled as she pushed past her roommate and picked her phone off the floor. "I thought something was wrong, so I looked." Mary Margaret pleaded, seeing the anger flourish across her friend's face when she read the messages. Emma just stared at Mary Margaret, feeling tears well up in her eyes. The Sheriff looked down and her phone and replied:
"I'm on my way. 3"
"Why does Regina want you over alone?" Mary Margaret asked quietly, afraid of backlash. "Is that any of your business?" Emma quipped, her panic turning into anger. The Sheriff grabbed her jacket off her bed and slipped it on, taking the towel off her head and throwing into the hamper. "Is everything okay?" Mary Margaret continued, watching her friend slip on her jacket and sneaker. "Yeah, everything is perfect. Now stop asking me questions." Emma said while grabbing her phone and starting down the steps. "Emma, something is going on and I demand to know what it is." Mary Margaret said strongly. She put her hands on her hips and watched the Sheriff grab the keys to her hunk of junk car. "You demand?" Emma smirked softly. "Mary Margaret…" "NO!" the dark haired woman screamed. "Tell me right now!" Emma bit her lip while opening the front door. "Fine. I'm gay, Regina's gay, and we're in a relationship." Emma said with a straight face, slipping into the hallway and slamming the door behind her, leaving her stunned friend in the apartment.
A/N FINALLY! I've been working so hard on chapter two of Alexandria's Genesis (OUAT/Desperate Housewives crossover mixed with tons of different stories. PLEASE READ!) that I haven't written anything else. Yes, it's short, but chapter two will be within a week and I PROMISE it'll be at least 800 to 1000 words! Also I'm working on two Regina songfics, both should be up tonight or tomorrow! Thanks for reading!
