Girlfriend
Three days later Regina was in her office doing paper work when her phone rang. A light smile played across her lips as she saw the picture of her and Emma that the blonde had set for herself. Calling already? "Miss me already Sheriff? We've only been at work for an hour?"
"I always miss you now when we aren't together," Regina heard someone (probably Charming) sigh dramatically in the background, "but unfortunately this isn't a personal call Madame Mayor. We have a bit of a problem."
Regina was suddenly all business. I knew it had been too calm around here lately. "What is it?"
"Well I think it's best if you see it. Could you maybe transport yourself over to the toll bridge?"
"I'll be right there." She clicked the phone to end the call and disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.
She immediately appeared in the middle of the bridge. She turned to look for Emma, and slipped. What the hell is this? She looked down and noticed that she had been standing on ice. It's July. "Emma!" She shouted as she felt a sharp pain through her ankle.
"Oh shit! Regina I should have warned you not to appear on the bridge. Hang on a sec and I'll come help you up." Emma was by the patrol car putting on some snow boots that she found in the trunk. After lacing them up she ran over as quickly she could without falling to help the brunette to her feet. "Maybe you should change your shoes before we try to walk you off of here."
"Yes." Regina waved her hand and had snow boots on in an instant. She waved her hand again. "Damn. It's broken. My magic won't heal it."
"Not want I wanted to hear." Emma stated as she helped Regina off the bridge. "We know who did this and the last thing I want is for my girlfriend to be vulnerable with her on the loose."
Regina stopped moving at the word girlfriend. "I, um, girlfriend?"
The sheriff blushed. "You're starting to sound like me. I was going to ask you if I could start calling you that at dinner tonight and then this happened... Is that okay?"
Is that okay? "You didn't even let the pirate put a label on you. Are you sure that this is what you want?"
"Of course I'm sure. I never liked Hook as much as I like you. We're damn near inseparable anyway in case you hadn't noticed." Hell, I'm only away long enough to work and sleep.
"Alright. Yes, it's okay." Regina smiled.
Emma kissed her again. The two been doing a lot of that since the first time. Henry had even caught them once and pretended to gag, but ended up wrapping both of his mothers in a hug. God, this will never get old. I feel like a teenager again. Emma thought.
They broke apart when Regina winced. Having gotten caught up in the moment she'd forgotten all about her ankle and placed it fully on the ground. Shit. "Would you drive me to the hospital, dear? We can talk about who did this on the way. By the way, where did Charming go? I thought I heard him when we were on the phone."
"I sent him after her." Emma said as helped her into the car and sped off.
"Who is she? What happened?"
"Well I didn't actually get her name. She ran from me, but I believe we are dealing with Elsa."
"Elsa?" Hmm. "Are you sure? I don't remember her from the Enchanted Forest."
"I'm almost positive. She stopped and answered some of my questions, but wouldn't let me get close to her. She told me she appeared in a barn with no idea where she was. She said she'd been hiding in the forest, but searching for her sister at night when no one is out. She seems like she's scared. She was really afraid she would hurt me. She started panicking when I got to close and then the bridge froze and she ran off."
"She appeared at a barn? Emma," How do I say this without her thinking I'm blaming her? "Do you think it's possible that she came through the portal with you and Hook?" She finished the last sentence looking at her girlfriend carefully.
Emma tensed up. She's seriously blaming me? She glanced over at Regina. The brunette was eyeing her looking slightly afraid.
"I'm not blaming you." She said quickly. "I'm just trying to figure out why she wouldn't have been here before. There are only two options. She either came in with the new curse, or you and Hook brought her here without realizing it. You said you left from Rumple's vault, right? He only kept magic in there that he didn't understand. He wouldn't have understood hers at the time. Her magic is fueled by emotion, namely fear and love. It seems more likely to me that you brought her here rather than the curse, especially with her showing up at the barn."
The blonde visibly relaxed. That does seem more likely. "You're right. I'm sorry." That means she's been here about four months. "Now let's get you in to see Dr. Whale, and then I will go talk to Gold."
Emma helped Regina out of the car and half carried her into the hospital. She waited until they had gotten her into a room. "If it's alright with you, I'm going to find Gold while they take care of you."
"Yes. That's fine. I'm a big girl Miss Swan." She smirked.
"I know, but I don't like leaving you here alone." Emma smiled back then turned to Dr. Whale who had just walked back into the room. "Take care of my girlfriend doc." She then gave Regina one more kiss, and left the room laughing at the dumbstruck look on the doctor's face. Time to find Gold.
