*disclaimer* I do not own show or characters. All mistakes are terribly mine.
I hope you enjoy. Thankfully this story is flowing for me easily. Pointers leave a review. I am a fan of red beauty an I do believe ill be putting more of them in here as I go.
Early in the morning:
Rumplestiltskin just couldn't believe somehow Bella had managed to vanish from his shop. He hadn't heard the door bell jingle or heard her get up. This was just another reason for his uncertainty now. First she had fallen asleep though he felt she had no need to like the rest of the town. Then she disappeared do to the certain magic that had over come the town. With great understanding of it he sought her out. A tracking spell on her tea cup lead him straight to granny's bed and breakfast where the cup gently dropped to his hand. Stepping inside he saw his belle laugh and so oblivious to him entering unlike red who stopped laughing and nodded nicely behind belle to catch her attention to his presence.
"Oh rumple! This is red I knew her a long time ago. I was just.. I don't know how I go here but I was just talking to her and lost track." The face he gave was anything but pleased which red caught and belle stiffened for a moment. Lightening her face when red placed a comforting hand on her back.
"Quite alright I was worried when you left. Come, we go home and I'll explain." He said mentally hating his obvious tone. How was he suppose to be with her if he couldn't control his temper even around her. He watched as red leaned in close to her ear and whispered. Belle's eyes widened and saddened only for her to nod.
"I don't believe she want to nor does she need to go anywhere. I can tell her just as well as you can what happened."
"You can?" Both rumple and belle questioned. Red chuckled to belle and pointed to her nose.
"Of course, it was magic. I can smell magic I also smelled the kind it was. I don't need my nose though to tell me why when I woke belle was curled up beside me.i know because of how I've felt since I met her." Rumple gulped now utterly forgotten he just stood there just watching. His blood boiled watching his love slip away each slight change in belle's face. From curious to loving in seconds. Clenching his fists he left the woman he thought loved him. Once outside her glanced back only to see even his exit was ignored. Im a villain, villains don't get happy endings. How could I though I was her true love. He thought as he walked away. Walking off his pain.
"When we met, why didn't you say?" Belle asked focused and surprised by Red's statement.
"I couldn't, you were speaking of someone you loved and saving him, I knew you were my mate right away I could throw it on you as if it was nothing." Red cupped her mates cheek hearing the bell to the door ding as it closed. "You didn't love me and I hadn't loved you yet but I did just in our journey together in getting to know you. As I hoped you had but you disappeared and I couldn't find you anywhere."
"Red." Belle knew she should return her concern to rumple and fear what he would do to red but she was lost, lost in red's eyes. "You did know but I felt something.. I felt it too." She was facing red two breaths away from her lips. She wanted to the temptation was so great ever since waking up in her. Arms she couldn't stop the thoughts that had never been there about rumple. She was unable to be torn or upset about waking the way she had and for that she was glad now. Just a breath away now she closed the distance and found home in her loves lips and arms as they wrapped around her. The kiss was sear hot and passionate close to deepening had it not been for cracking of neck from granny coming down the stairs. Red flushed and pulled back from the kiss just in time. Granny reached the many floor and looked at her granddaughter and then the woman in her arms. Knowing the torture it would give she continued through the room and into the joint dinner to start morning rush.
"Let's go red the town isn't going to forget about coffee just cuz the curse broke and you found your true love." A smirk reaching her lips where red nor belle could see. Red and belle looked at each other grinning.
"Go ahead, she might be right and you should help. I'll wait upstairs is that ok?" A nod and a quick peck to the lips before leaving the building and into the dinner the same as her grandma. Promising herself to impress belle after work.
Back at the mansion:
Henry was quiet now it would have been eire if Emma hadn't heard the same thing he had and was gawking quietly as well. Had she heard right was her first thought but noticing Henry's reaction she knew she had. Her second thought, something she was still tumbling the idea over in her head about was, what did that mean or have to do with her? And Regina? Perhaps she had thought about Regina to much lately and she was now having a very vivid dream next to Henry still in the hospital. Even as she tried to pass that off she felt it wasn't a dream. She really was sitting facing Regina like an idiot after hearing very clearly that the magic cloud that had made her appear in Regina's bed was what Regina had sensed as happiness.
"Of course, how did I not see it before." Henry recovered first both women staring at him now confused. "Mom gets to have a happy ending too, mom, me, and.. You! We can be a real family... But you..." He started to slow watching Emma look at Regina further confused and Regina turning wide eyed seeing where his words were going. "Don't know that you're true loves."
"No!" Regina cried out. "No, Henry I can't tell you how wrong you are, she is not she can't be my true love I love Daniel."
"Who?" Henry asked frowning.
"He was killed.. By my mother. I love him he was my true love I don't have another. I'm a villain now."
"Mom everyone get a second true love-" Henry started.
"You're not!" Emma cut in. Regina looked to her and a shiver raked her body at the determined glare in Emma's eyes.
"What do you mean?" Regina whispered unable to snap at the woman she should be furious long ago by now.
"You're not a villain, so maybe, maybe you get a true love again somewhere in this town."
"But that's you ma, you lo-" again he started just to be cut off. Clearly he was not getting anywhere.
"You don't think you are? You don't love me?" Regina almost crumbled for some reason at the rejection.
"I do but I won't force you to see that or choose me. You get whatever fate you want." Both women's hearts were pounding one in anticipation the other in way of it hadn't since Daniel. How it had been since the beginning when Emma came busting into town. It beat so heavily against her ribs because of the one person to give her a choice was give her the choice to love her or walk away. No body had given her that. She knew she needed that all these year no one every tried but now Emma the one she knew since this morning was her true love was giving her exactly what she needed even if she still wanted to love Daniel more.
"I-" Daniel was gone an though she fought and took vengeance for him all these year she still couldn't get him back. Regina could feel, an quite easily in fact, that she somehow loved Emma more than she ever had Daniel. "I Want you, I choose you, I.. Just don't like admitting I feel more this time than I did with Daniel."
Henry quickly left the room not wanting to see more than he was comfortable with or her the gushy stuff. Regina stepped closer to Emma during her admittance. Emma's lip quivered upon hearing someone choosing her. Her heart though stopped it having been Regina. The first person to every want her was her, the woman she loved. The two practically leapt into each other's arms and hugged so tight afraid to let go. Seeing the reaction to her words regina kept repeating them as she held Emma wanting her to believe it. The room filled with the montra "I choose you" and "I'm sorry" and she was for saying Daniel was her true love for how she did, for make her live a life that in the moment she said she wanted her was so clear that no one had ever said that to her.
She let Emma cry in her arms before lifting her face to hers and kissing her forehead. Moved to wipe the tears away and kissed the tear stains that stayed. Emma opened her eyes to find Regina so much closer than she had thought. Without a second thought she leaned into the lips before her. It took Regina a second to realize her lips were caught in a kiss long overdue before her own lips ran over Emma's. Behind eyes fluttered closed sparks flew fireworks burst causing both woman to gasp and pull back in surprise. Neither knew if it was the fire inside or the fire in the others eyes that made the room thick with desire. Just to kiss again, to feel so wild with feelings each time.
"You two all done kissing now, I'm hungry?" Henry called from the top of the stairs draining suffocating desire.
"Yes Henry." Regina answered. Smiling as he come thumping down to the kitchen again. Her arms still holding Emma in a comfortable hug when he came down to show they were ok. She knew it would take a lot of work to have everyone trust that it was true love but to her having both Henry and Emma made her so happy no matter the risk. Henry barreled into their hug. Emma chuckled shortly becoming a real laugh the longer they sat there.
"So we are a family now right?" Henry asked when he pulled out of the hug and pulled out a bowl to have breakfast. "I mean I was kinda wondering when you two would realize how you felt." Emma narrowed her eyes and scrunch her brows.
"I thought you wanted me to defeat her cuz she was the evil queen?"
"Well yeah but that was cuz I thought you two would never notice and you'd always be fighting. I don't think you should if you both accept it now. I mean I want us to be a family I just didn't want mom to be evil an when you two fought she seemed so bad so I didn't see the harm in making sure someone was going to stop her from doing anything bad. Not for just the town but for her too." Emma wide eyed found Regina's soft sad eyes and nudged her.
"We have always been a family it just took us this long to see how we felt behind all the arguments. I'm sorry, I'll try not to anymore ok Henry." He nodded as Regina agreed whole heartedly.
After happy sexcapade at the snows:
Snow dressed half giddy wondering where Emma was half worried who Emma was with. She hardly thought anyone was a bad choice, anyone except Regina. She hoped that the fates weren't that terrible but she remembered things ad Mary Margaret that made her unsure. Things she didn't understand but might have looked like her daughter liked Regina. Hopefully, though really unlikely since she saw the look in Regina's eyes too, that didn't mean that her daughter woke up with Regina as her true love / happy ending. It would mean what? What would she do? Frankly she didn't know even as she explained the possibility to James nothing came to mind.
"Emma is stubborn but unpredictable if she is with someone we don't approve of she is going to be one of two extreme ends of the stick. Let's hope she even believes we are her parents." Snow side noted aloud. Charming fully dressed agreed and followed snow out the door now in full parental mode. Oh how guilty he felt now having just had sex before fixating their concerns on their long lost daughter. After assuming they should start with the mayors house they took James's truck only to find as they headed up the end of the road a partially big crowd heading straight up the drive of said house. Hitting the gas hard they just hoped Emma wasn't in danger already.
Scrambling out of the truck snow and charming push their way up to the front of the crowd. Whale at the front of the line with a thick snarl as he tried to push past Emma to get to Regina. Snow stricken with a panicked face stopped short holding back the rest of the people behind whale. While James rush in a pulled the doctor off his daughter. She smiled proudly as her daughter stood protectively but her concern flooded back seeing it wasn't Henry she guarded but Regina. Henry obviously up stair or still in the hospital.
Emma already being their made it very evident that she had been there since waking up that morning. Snows main thought was had they talked, admitting anything? Or did they stubbornly ignore the situation and Emma is just protecting her because she feels the need to? What ever the reason was she knew there was no getting past her. It was in her eyes, they said 'I dare you to try.'
At the mansion before mob:
Small talk filled the kitchen for a little bit, Henry and Emma shooting off random questions. Like why they felt different suddenly? Henry wasn't mad an though he was glad it still was strange that when he woke in his room at his moms knowing the curse broke that he wasn't scared, hurt, or mad. He simply felt better/at ease. Regina admitted it was strange but it seemed the true love magic that made happy ending...well happen it made them more susceptible to the situations and things that would normally freak themselves out over. They had yet to admit they woke up together point being Henry was just a kid but Emma and Regina both understood what she meant.
Furthermore she explained that no the magic wasn't controlling them or the situations they could easily leave if they wanted. Just simply put deep down non of them wanted anyone to go anywhere. Emma smiled and nodded before placing a comforting hand over Regina's who took it so willingly. Before another round of discussion could start a firm pounding on the mansion front door followed by yelling immediately put both mothers on edge.
"Henry put your bowl down and go upstairs." Regina said fear lacing her voice. Why she had prepared for this moment sooner she didn't know. She knew it was coming since the curse broke. "Lock the door and don't come down or answer unless it's one of us." Henry wanted to argue but knew he really had to listen it was very frightening though with the pounding, yelling, and he could see his mother was scared. He turned to Emma with pleading eyes.
"Don't worry kid, I'll keep her safe."
"Mom don't let them make you mad, you can't use magic on them you need to show them your a good person with me and now Emma." He waited for her to promise and rushed up the stairs clicked the lock on his door and waited practically pacing a hole in the floor.
Regina opened the door before Emma could but as she step on the Porch whale quickly stepped back slightly frightened by Regina still. He caught his bearings and made to get in her face yelling a stream of things the closer he got. Emma wedged between the stupid doctor and Regina. Pushed the man off Regina he having pinned her realizing she wouldn't be using magic to defend herself.
"Back off whale." Her main focus being whale while out of the corner of her eye she noticed the back of the crowd part letting two figures forward. Both being her parents but she didn't react even as David pulled whale back from her. Snow held off the rest of the crowd. "You kill her you have to go through me. I won't let anyone hurt her no matter what she's done it's the past. She different here and killing her won't change anything it just make you evil like she was." I was determined to protect her. She finally had someone who wanted her out of all the people she ever wanted to keep she swore to herself she would keep Regina.
Never had anyone defended her and yet here the woman who should be her enemy was. She looked strong and as regal as possible until whale tried to choke her. Easily her facade was down she was scared but now Emma saved her and she could hide the love for the woman from her eyes. Hearing her tender words and conviction in them her heart swelled. Watching the crowd dissipate after Emma threw her position as sherif out there to scare everyone off. Left facing something she feared and hated all the same, Emma's parents who stood stock still until everyone left the yard. First thing spoken was like a ball of snow set to roll down a hill. Pun literally intended as snow blurts out the first thing on her mind.
"Emma? Yo-you love Regina?"
Review
thanks for reading. Can anyone guess how happy or mad I will make snow and james. For future reference I hate calling them 'the charmings' since really their last name is white. So if I was to label them so don't hate. Only because the charming name is James's nickname not a family name which snow wouldn't have given up. Anywho thanks again.
