Finding the truth
Hi! This is my very first story, so I apologize if I made any mistakes. Please enjoy.
Emma Swan sat in her normal booth in the little outdated coffee shop drinking hot chocolate with whip cream and cinnamon. She looked across from her and watched as a mess of chocolate brown hair fumbled around under the table until a little head popped up and showed glowing emerald eyes. The little girl tilted her head to the side and stuck her tongue out at the older woman and Emma began to giggle.
"Okay baby bug, what are you doing?" Emma asked with a smile and the little girl answered with a smile "I grabin' my craon mom'y" She said with a look that said 'duh'.
Emma reached down and grabbed the red orange crayon and placed it on the table. Which caused the little girl to smile even wider. "Tank you mom'y." She said and colored in her little princess coloring book. Emma smiled at her daughter and continued to drink her hot chocolate while watching her daughter color outside of the lines. A loud crash rang throughout the diner and Emma turned around to see what happened. She sees a woman standing there with a shattered coffee cup at her feet, she looks up to see the face of the woman who made such a mess and she gasped. She locked on to eyes she hasn't seen in forever and her heart rate began to increase just as the woman stood there frozen.
"Mom'y?" a small voice from behind her said and Emma turned around to look at her daughter, trying to regain her composure.
"Yes baby?" she says as the woman started to help clean up the mess she made. She tried not to dwell on the fact that the taller brunette woman was here until she heard the clicking of heels come to their booth.
She looked over and saw the woman she has avoided for 4 years standing beside her. Her throat tightened as she looked at the older woman who, she noticed, grew out her hair. She locked on with almond eyes and waited for her to say something, but neither did. "Who you?" The little girl sitting across from Emma asked and the older brunette looked over at the little girl and gasped, looking between mother and daughter.
She slowly bent down and looked at the little girl holding back tears while offering a smile. "I'm Regina, sweetie, what is your name?" She replied sweetly while looking into the emeralds.
The little girl ducked slightly before answering in a small voice "Bella…Belladon…Belladona!" she said with a proud grin and a slight giggle, which not only caused Emma to laugh but Regina as well.
Regina looked at her and bowed her head slightly, "Hello little Belladona, it is very nice to meet you." Belladona's face turned a slight shade of pink and she quickly went under the table and into Emma's side, hiding her face.
Emma looked to Regina and told her with her eyes and a head motion to sit down, which she did. To say that Emma was nervous would be an understatement, she didn't know how to feel. Regina looked at her and finally spoke, "How have you been, Emma?" She said in a light tone that made her stomach flipflop.
Emma flashed a shy smile and looked down at Bella then back to Regina and gave a slight shrug, "I've been good. You grew out your hair."
Regina reached up with her left hand and touched the raven locks, slightly shocked that Emma noticed. Regina went to say something, but Emma cut her off.
"How did you find me Regina?" The older woman looked at her and sighed, "I never stopped looking if that's what you mean. I finally convinced Henry to tell me where you ran off too. I made a mistake Emma, I never should have let you go." She paused and looked at the little brunette hiding her face. "Either of you." She said as a lone tear travelled down her cheek not bothering to wipe it away. Emma looked at her as her eyes filled with tears and she bit her lip not knowing what to say or how to answer.
So that was the first chapter, please tell me how you liked it and if you want more to come! Again all mistakes are mine.
