Hey there people! I hope you are having a nice day/night. I've decided to create a SwanQueen AU story. I don't know if it's gonna be good, I pretty much doubt it, but I thought it was worth trying. Oh, and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. So, without further ado, let's go. Enjoy.
What's the worst sound of this universe? Well, the alarm clock of course! The sound that brought Emma Swan back to real world every morning for the last 4 years. College.
She blinked a couple of times before opening her eyes widely. "Fuck, not again!" She exclaimed and jumped out of the warm and cozy bed. She had to deliver an assignment and it was far off the due date. She took a deep breath and dressed up, wearing anything but ordinary. Without even checking her phones or the way she looked, Emma grabbed the assignment and ran.
The weather was windy and cloudy and she forgot her umbrella, too. "Great, how worse can my day become?" She thought to herself as she saw the terrifying clouds above her. One thing Emma was afraid of, was the rain. No, not just some drops of rain, the big storms with the lightning strikes and all these stuff. Riding her bike as fast as she could, she arrived at her college just in time. Her professor, saw her from outside his window and he just shook his head smiling at the other kids who were there.
Emma knocked on his door and hesitantly came in.
"Good Morning miss Swan." He said and she smirked.
"Mr. Gold, I'm terribly sorry for being late again. Here's the assignment." She said without even looking at him.
"You're being terribly sorry for the past four years, miss Swan. Thank you, though." He replied and Emma left the classroom knowing she had screwed up, again.
Looking at the time and the stormy weather she decided to call her boyfriend.
"Hey babe! How are you? Did you… like… thank God. Yeah, sure. I think I'm cool. What…? Yeah, I'll come and pick you up. Want coffee? See you. Bye."
Regina overheard him talking on the phone before getting into his room.
"Morning..." He said unwillingly and without even looking at her.
"Good Morning dear." She said and smirked. "Do you want breakfast?"
He looked at her and shook his head in denial.
"No, I'm okay. I'll meet Emma." He replied and checked his phone for any messages.
"Look, Cody, I know this is hard for both of us, but we need to be okay..." Regina said but Cody cut her off.
"No, this is not okay. It hasn't been a year and YET he's about to begin a new life with you and me.. well this is just me. He doesn't even care about me. And I'm not okay with you. I thought you were smart enough to realize that since you came here HE doesn't even care about me. Am I on drugs? Am I smoking? Am I drinking?" He said and Regina swallowed hard.
But let me tell you a few things about that.
His mother died when Cody was 21 years old and his father, only 3 months after her death, decided that he needed a new woman. Cody and his father were never in good terms. They were always fighting and Cody left home when he was 16, but came back only because of his mother. He didn't want to leave her alone with him. So, after her death, he was barely talking to him and things got worse when Regina stepped foot in the house. At first everything was okay, but when his father told him that he and Regina would get married, he got pretty mad at him. He didn't want to hear his name anymore. And he knew Regina was hiding something. Something… weird. So, he got a job and he was determined to rent a new house with Emma.
Emma was the best thing that happened to Cody after his mother. She was always there for him, treated him perfect and every time he was feeling sad because of his mother, she was there to cheer him up a little bit.
"What's wrong now?" His father said entering the room. Cody took a deep breath glaring at him and how "perfect" they were together and rolled his eyes.
"Nothing." He snapped and put his phone in his pocket. His father, stepped in front of him and grabbed his hand.
"How many times do I have to tell you to respect Regina?" He whispered. Cody glared at her who didn't say a thing.
"You, know what Jack, it's okay. It's totally my fault. I didn't… he was on the phone and I just got in without knocking and he..." She said and Jack looked at her.
"I want him to respect you, Regina."
"Just the way you respect mom, huh?" He snapped and ran out of his room grabbing his things and left.
Emma was waiting for him wearing her hoodie at the college cafeteria and she was chatting with her best friend when he came. He tried to stay calm and pretend that everything was okay, but Emma knew him a little bit more than that.
"Hey babe..." She said and stood up kissing him. He hugged her and kissed her back. Emma frowned and smiled.
"Now, what's wrong…?" She asked and he looked away.
"Nothing… just… forget it." He replied and sighed. Emma raised and eyebrow. Cody knew that he would tell her sooner or later, so they sat down together and Cody said what happened that morning.
Emma was paying attention to him and when his story was over she touched his hand and smiled.
"Look, Cody. I know this is hard for you, losing a parent. I never met my parents, you know but I'm glad that I have these ones now. I mean, things could be even worse. She is just trying to … get closer to you. I don't think she wants to replace your mother. I think she wants just… your sympathy. Here's what we're gonna do. Wanna come over to your house tonight and just… meet her?" Emma suggested. Cody gave it a thought. At first the idea seemed pretty stupid but then he smiled at her and agreed.
"Nice idea Emma. Yeah, you can come! You will meet that evil woman …" Cody replied and Emma chuckled.
"Haha, baby… I don't think I'm gonna hate her that much..." She replied but Cody was sure she'd hate her.
BUT WHO IS EMMA ANYWAY?
Emma Swan, a cute and beautiful young woman who's been living with Mary Margaret and David for the last 10 years. She had changed several families, as her real parents died when she was only 3 months. Her childhood wasn't that good though. Changing several families and being treated pretty badly, Emma was an introvert girl with only a few friends. When she met Cody she thought that she would be the happiest girl alive. Of course she was. But what if someone could make her happier by destroying everything around her? Just for her. Only for her.
Arriving home, Emma went to her room pretty excited and nervous about her meeting with Cody's stepmother. She didn't even know why, though, but she really wanted to look good. If she was the way Cody had described her, she'd better be perfect. Mary Margaret came into her room when Emma was trying to figure out what to wear. She frowned, as she knew that her daughter would never wear anything but jeans. So it was a big surprise when she was searching off for some skirts.
"Important meeting huh?" She asked and Emma chuckled.
"No...I'm just gonna meet… Cody's stepmother. And I haven't heard good things about her. So I need to be… appropriate.." Emma said and Mary Margaret laughed as she sat on the edge of her bed.
"Honey.. if you won't meet her you'll never know. Be yourself. You may win her..." She said calmly and Emma smiled. She was so glad that Mary Margaret was her mother. She was young enough and she could understand her daughter.
"Thanks, mom." She said and picked up her jeans laughing."
As soon as her mother left, Emma got dressed and called Cody.
"Yeah, I'll be right here. "He said and hung up as his father and Regina were staring at him.
"I liked that idea, Cody. Meeting your girlfriend. Must be important to you." Regina said smiling.
"She is. The most important person in my life." He said glaring at his father. Regina smirked awkwardly and his father took a deep breath.
"Anyway, Cody, go pick her up and as soon as you arrive, my lasagna will be ready." She said and he nodded and left.
Half an hour later, Emma and Cody were at his place. Emma was kinda nervous as he had never met his father or Regina and she didn't really know how to react.
Cody opened the door to his girlfriend and her eyes just met Regina's. Emma smiled awkwardly and Jack , Cody's father, went next to Regina.
"You must be Emma. Nice to meet you. I'm Jack, Cody's father. " He said smiling and they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you, sir. "She said and then she saw Regina again. God, this woman was intimidating.
"Hello Emma. I'm Regina..." The older woman said and shook hands with Emma. The younger and blonde woman scanned Regina. She had something… weird. Something perfect, she was a mystery. Unsolved mystery.
"Nice to meet you…."She whispered and smiled.
Okay guys this is the first part. I know I didn't mention Regina's backround story and trust me there's a big reason for that. I hope you liked it. Much love and stay tunned.
