Title: I Kissed Him
Summary: Regina's reasoning behind the kiss at the end of tonight's episode (Bleeding Through 3X18)
I kissed him. What else could I do?
He tried so hard to protect my heart from the wicked witch. But she found his weakness, his son, Roland.
I know of Roland, but we've never been formally introduced... at least not that I can remember. So much happened in that year I can't remember...
I don't know how it happened. Who fell first, if it was him or me... Why I would allow something like this to happen... I wouldn't. It's not rational. Which can only mean that it was/is true love.
What gave me the courage to not only forgive, but to kiss him? For once taking what I wanted... Taking a chance that there might actually be someone out there that might love me as much as Daniel had...
I know he won't remember, and I certainly don't, but Tinker Bell swears that he is my true love, and I can think of no other reason for this picture I now hold in my hand, to exist. Such a small black and white image that Dr. Whale gave to me to explain the morning nausea...
So I go to him and give him what we both perceive to be our first kiss. I may not be as powerful as Zelena... my sister, but the love is true and more powerful than any she has ever known. I kiss him, trying to convey the love I feel, though I barely know him. He doesn't know that it is his child's heartbeat that fills my womb. Not yet, but he will. And just like Emma, he/she will be a magical force to be reckoned with. Another child born of true love. And we all know that true love is the undoing of any curse, no matter how wicked.
End.
