After Emma answered Regina, Regina simply nodded, and they ate the rest of their meals in silence. The ride to Storybrooke was long, or at least it seemed that way to Emma, she couldn't wait to see her son, she was excited, she was nervous, she was afraid.
Emma immediately noticed that Storybrooke wasn't like the rest of the world, Like the ones in the scary movies, it appeared to be stuck in time, a back alley town, one no one ever visited, one no one ever left. Emma sighed in the back seat of the car, her fate was already decided. It was for the best, it was for her son.
The first stop was town hall, where Emma assumed the Mayor's office was, she assumed right because soon, they were inside and Regina was sitting behind her desk, hands on the table, peering down at Emma, at least that's what it seemed like to Emma.
"Do you have the contract Miss Swan?" She asked.
Emma nodded her head.
"Have you sighed it?" Regina asked once more.
Emma nodded once more and pushed the packet over to Regina who immediately flipped through the pages, she smirked quickly when she noticed the signature on the final page. As quickly as the smirk appeared it disappeared as well, and soon the contract was stored in a filing cabinet and locked.
"I take it that you read the whole contract, it would be very foolish of you if you hadn't, doesn't matter, because I expect you to uphold your part, and do what you agreed to do, what you sighed up to do" Regina explained. With a wave of her hand she dismissed Sidney and Emma turned to watch him leave, she didn't really want him to go anywhere, she didn't want to be left alone with the scary older woman, she avoided people like Regina as much as possible, but now, she had no choice.
"When do I get to see Henry?" Emma questioned.
"Soon dear, but first, I want to have a little chat with you, I want to make sure you understand what is expected of you"
"What's expected of me?" Emma questioned with a frown. "I get it, I pretend to be you're wife, in return, I get to be with Henry, and you won't try to take him from me" Emma explained while she nodded her head.
Regina laughed, or scoffed, Emma wasn't really sure. "You will not be pretending to be anything. You will be my wife, for as long as you live, the rest of your life"
Emma frowned. That made no sense what so ever. She could do this for the next 18 years, but after that, what's keeping her from leaving Regina? Nothing. A contract, highly unlikely.
"I know what you are thinking Miss Swan, and I can assure you, deals that you make with me, are permanent. You have no Ideal what I can capable of" Regina states almost glaring at Emma.
"But...I'm not...I'm not gay" Emma explains.
Regina simply stares at Emma for a moment. Not moving, just starring, Emma feels as if Regina is looking straight into her soul, she can't help but look away from the intense gaze.
Finally, Regina speaks. "I believe the correct term my dear, is lesbian, and don't worry, I have experience in these kind of things-" Regina says, she get's this far away look in her eyes, and Emma can't help but want to give her a hug. She looks so sad, as soon as the look comes, it goes again, and Regina clears her throat. "You'll learn to love me, and I you...just don't fight it" Regina states.
Emma frowns but saw no more on the subject. Regina sees that Emma's waiting for her to speak next so she continues. "I'm a Mayor, and you're going to be the Mayor's wife, which mean...there's a certain way you need to behave around others, as well as in private, because you never know whose watching" Regina explains.
"What do you mean?" Emma asks.
"I mean, being in the public eye all the time, I need to keep up the flawless appearance I have. I need everyone to think that my life is perfect, I'm explaining this to you, because, I want you to be on my team Emma. I also don't want you to fight me on any of my rules. Someone needs to be in charge of this relationship, and that someone is me" Regina states.
Emma thinks about that for a moment. So, Regina wants to boss her around and stuff. Her whole life, she's been bossed around, by foster parents, by the officers inside the prison, the only time she was free to do what she wanted to do, was when she was with Neal, and see where that has gotten her. Emma sighs. "So...are you going to like...control everything that I do?" Emma asks, defeat in her voice. Regina picks up on it and wonders why everything is going to easy so far, she expected a fight, she'd prepared for every possible scenario, except acceptance.
"No" Regina shakes her head. "Well, at first, maybe, but soon, I won't have to control you as much, because you'll just do what you're supposed to do. It'll get easier, you'll be a stay at home mom, So mostly you'll be at home with Henry"
Emma couldn't help but smile at the thought of spending time with her son. She missed him greatly and wished this meeting, would end soon so she can see him. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad. Being controlled didn't sound good, but it wasn't new to Emma, she still had no ideal what to expect, but she figured she would soon find out.
