A/N: Yeah, so herswaninrustyarmor and I got to talking one night and well we came up with a universe where Emma, Regina, Myka and HG are all together. So when I posted domesticity memes it got requested and there was a whole who kissed who question and so yeah that's how this came about. Anyway, read don't read, its up to you. Hope you guys like it if you do read :) Let me know what you think please.
The four of you have been friends for several years now, four this June to be exact, and you may have had a slight crush on Emma and Regina, yes both of them, right from the start. You love HG but let's face it the two of you are going nowhere thanks to the warehouse gods, son of biscuit eating regents. You think you could love Regina and Emma too though and that's the whole problem. You've been taught your whole life that you'd fall for one person now there's not just one or two but three and you're sure you love them all, equally but differently, passionately but gently, wholeheartedly but from afar.
So one night when you're all at Regina's having dinner, discussing the fact that Emma's about to become a big sister for the second time at thirty four and that Henry is going to have a new aunt or uncle, you can't help but ask if they've, any of them, all of them, have thought of having more children. Emma looks solely at Regina when she says she wants more but the person she wants them with isn't ready or doesn't want them, she isn't sure cause they aren't even together. HG tells of how she's scared another child will reach the same fate as Christina did, it's Emma who reaches for her hand and chases the shadows from her face this time, a feat only you could do once upon a time. Regina wants to run you can see it in her eyes but this is something the three of you have worked so hard on, this being honest with each other, so she opens her mouth and speaks of how she always wanted lots of children and a big house in the country where they could all ride horses together. She shakes her head mumbles something about being a far cry from that now and then excuses herself to the kitchen.
HG makes to stand but you stop her and stand yourself instead, following Regina into the kitchen where she's leaning against the sink silent sobs causing her still form to shake. You make enough noise that she knows you're there but she doesn't turn nor does she jump when you circle her waist with your arms however. The silent sobs last a little longer before she turns to face you, tears littering her cheeks.
Softly you reach up, "You can have that, you know?" you softly whisper as you brush away the tears. "There are people who would give you the house in the country and the yard full of little yous running around and the horses and all of that dream life you want."
Regina shakes her head, "No one wants to be with me," she tells you, "I was the Evil Queen, I'm old, I've done so much bad in my life," she shakes head again, "No one co-" She doesn't finish because your lips have met hers in what you're sure will be the biggest mistake of your life even if its exactly what she needs.
You stroke her cheek, "There are people, Regina, who will give you everything you want and more if you let them." You turn and walk away, back to the other room, hoping you haven't screwed up everything you've been trying to keep intact.
