I do not own OUAT
Emma still heard Regina calling her name, but she continued to ignore it and carried on walking. Emma had to stop in her tracks because a puff of smoke was in front of her Emma glared and tried to go around the women but it didn't work Regina just grabbed Emma wrist and turned her around
"Emma please, I love you" Regina cried
"You have a funny way of showing it Regina" Emma said her voice held no emotion,
"Please don't hate me" Regina cried
"Hate you, Regina I could never hate you…" Emma sighed heavily blinking back tears that started to form in her eyes, she wasn't going to cry in front of her.
"I'm just so disappointed in you I thought you have changed but I guess not" Emma said in the same emotionless tone Regina flinched okay that hurt way more then Emma hating her
"Don't leave we can work through this" Regina begged
"Regina I need time alone to work through this, I need time to know if I can love you again, I need time to know if I can ever forgive you" Emma whispered Regina let go of Emma's wrist with a gasp
"Emma" Regina whispered so quietly and brokenly, she knew Emma had every right to be angry and upset but the fact she could end up losing the blonde over this terrified her to know end. Emma walked on ignoring the brunette she knew if she didn't she would go back but she couldn't, not yet anyway, otherwise the relationship would be too damaged. Emma continued to walk she really had no clue where she was going but when she stopped she was right outside of Gold's shop and that is when she remembered he had a cabin in the woods, she walked in the bell above the door signalling her arrival Gold walked out from the back of the shop at first surprised to see the blonde but he got over it quite quickly.
"Miss Swan, what a surprise what brings you here this late at night" Gold smirked
"I need to your cabin in the woods, I don't know how long I will be using it for but can I use it… please" Emma asked she locked eyes with the imp
"Trouble in paradise saviour" Rumple giggled Emma glared but didn't say a word she wasn't going to let him have any satisfaction in the situation.
"Well I guess you could use it" Gold smiled
"On one condition" Rumpelstiltskin smirked
"What?" Emma hissed
"I want a piece of your hair" Rumple shrugged, Emma plucked out a piece of her hair and gave it to the imp and he handed her the keys she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
It has been a few days now Regina has tried to call Emma but the blonde refused to answer she went to into town to work, she saw Henry a few times but totally avoided and ignored Ruby and Regina, Emma had wanted to tell Belle what had happened but by the looks of it Belle already knows if the argument that happened in Granny's between Belle and Ruby was anything to go by. Belle walked over to Emma and asked if she could sit down and Emma smiled and nod her head
"How could they" Belle frowned
"I don't know Belle, I don't know" Emma sighed both women looked completely lost
"Were are you staying if it's not at the loft or the mansion" Belle said confused
"I am staying at your ex-husbands cabin in the woods" Emma said and pursed her lips
"You are more then welcome to join?" Emma shrugged Belle sighed
"I can't I have the library to run" Belle said sadly
"Well you can always come visit if you ever get bored" Emma smiled she gave Belle a hug and left she brushed past Regina who actually looked like shit and for a split second Emma felt bad and was thinking about going home, but she shook her head and carried on. No she doesn't deserve to be forgiven not yet Emma said to herself she went back to the cabin and poured herself a few shots. Before she knew it she was drunk and she actually wanted to give Regina a piece of her mind but she couldn't do it she couldn't call the brunette she didn't want to hear her voice it would hurt too much so instead she curled up on the floor and cried herself to sleep. That same scene happened a few times, Emma would get drunk want to call Regina to go off at her but she decides not to then ends up crying herself to sleep. That happened for three weeks, finally Emma managed to get her head one straight and ended up going back to Mifflin street to get Henry as he was staying over for a few nights. Regina was still at work or well Emma hopped she was, she wouldn't be surprised if Ruby was there and they were having sex again. When Emma knocked on the door Henry answered it with a smile
"Hey Ma" Henry said and hugged his mother
"Hey kid" Emma smiled and hugged him back this was the first time in a month that Emma had felt relaxed and happy.
"Mum isn't here so you can come in" Henry shrugged, he wanted his mother's to work it out but he knew he couldn't push either of them Regina had fucked up big time and he realised that he himself hasn't forgiven Regina for possibly ruining their family, he also hated Ruby and he glared at her every time they went to Granny's. Henry did end up telling Snow and David they wanted to talk Emma but every time they brought it up she either walked out or changed the subject she ended up putting them on the ignore list. The only people she actually talks to now days is Granny, Henry and Belle,
"Pizza or Chinese for dinner?" Emma asked
"Chinese!" Henry grinned
"Alright we will head over there and get it on our way to the cabin" Emma smiled
"That is where you're staying" said a voice Emma froze and her face hardened she shouldn't be here well granted it is her house and all but why is she home this early on a Friday. Emma didn't say anything she couldn't not without breaking down she took a deep breathe
"I will be in the car kid" Emma called out and brushed past the brunette
"How long are you going to keep punishing me" Regina screamed Emma stop frozen she put a snarl on her face and turned around Regina gulped she has never seen Emma so angry before and for a brief second she was frightened she knew the blonde wouldn't hurt her but that didn't stop her from taking a step back.
"Punishing you, Regina you are the one who cheated don't forget I am having time to myself so I know if I can ever forgive you again" Emma said in a cold tone
"It's been a month" Regina said wearily, she knew it would probably take more than a month but she just wanted her back here in the mansion, she could sleep in the guest bedroom and continue to ignore her for all she cares but she just wants Emma to come home.
"I know how long it has been I haven't come to the conclusion yet" Emma said Henry came down and walked passed Regina giving her a quick kiss and hug and walked up to Emma and grabbed her hand which caused the blonde to relax right away. They walked out without another word to the brunette Henry looked back briefly and saw a tear drop down her face and watched as her arms circled around her waist. Henry then looked up to Emma's face who was clenching her jaw trying not to cry. Emma noticed Henry staring and looked down and gave him a smile.
"We'll figure it out Henry I just need time" Emma whispered Henry nodded they got into the car and went to the Chinese place. They walked in and ordered their food, Henry got Honey chicken with sesame seeds, Emma got sweet and sour pork, they also got dumplings and spring rolls to share, as for the drink they got lemonade. Emma put on a Marvel movie as they sat down to eat. During the movie Belle rocked up with her own dinner Henry smiled sadly at Belle and have her a hug, Henry was so disappointed. How could his own mother and Ruby ruin their own happy endings would Emma and or Belle be able to forgive their other halves or have the truly ruined their happy endings.
