Full Circle

Chapter Four

The sun is shinning and the bird are cherping, everything is right in the world, and yet here i am sitting alone in my big ol' house while my son of playing family with his mother and father. And yes i do say those words in the looses sense of the word, this mother and father who weren't there for him throughout his whole life, i was there, i'm his mother, period. "Regina," my head snaps up as i wrap my robe closer to my body. "I'm sorry if i started you, your front door was open and you weren't answering." She walks closer to me, eyes never leaving mine, with each step i can see her breathing, her nerves getting the better of her i can tell.

"It's prefectly alright Ms. Swan," i say crossing my legs as i look at her more firmly. "Is there something i can do for you at this early hour?"

"I'm not sure actually," she takes a seat next to me on the sofa, eyes neverleaving mine. "I was walking around town, trying to clear my head and the next thing i knew i was knocking on your front door." Finally she looks away, at the floor to be more specific. I reach for her and lift her chin up, i look into her eyes. Her breathing is hindered, nervously.

And then she does it.

She kisses me.

...

"Have you seem Emma this morning," She asks me as she walks into the kitchen. "She was supposed to give me a ride to work."

"I didn't know you were going back to work, after all, we all learned that we're fairy tale characters so what's the point," David says as he enters the kitchen behind her. This is the family i walked into this year. Snow White and Prince Charming, of course that would be the person i fall for, the child of those two. I can't complaint though, it brought Henry into my life.

"She was gone when i woke this morning," i comment taking another sip of my coffee. She's been off lately. Everytime i touch her or try to get close to her, she pulls away, its almost like she doesn't want me to be a part of her life, or maybe she's just afraid of loving me. Or maybe i'm just nieve. "She's not around much."

"She left early this morning," Henry says as he takes a sit next to me in front of his bowl of cereal that Mary Margaret had set infront of him.

...

Her lips are soft and her kisses are gentle. Her fingers are tangling in my hair as she pushes further into the kiss. I grip the back of her neck pulling her onto of me as i lean backwards on the couch. I can fell her hand sliding up my shirt. Her skin against mine is making my brun, it's unlike anything else i've felt. And as quickly as it started she stopped.

"Wh-what are you doing, i didn't stay stop Ms. Swan," i say as i run hands up and down her arms trying to pull her closer once again.

"N-no," she says as she runs her own fingers through her hair. "I-i don't kn-know what i'm doing," she says standing up and stepping away from me. "We can't do this Regina," she comments looking down at me. Her eyes make contact with mine again, I can see the want in her eyes, she wants me just as much as i want her. "But, i can't stop..." and before i know we're kissing again, with even more want that before.

Her kisses adventure down to my neck as her hands once again find there way up my shirt once again. "We should move this upstairs Ms Swan." i say kissing her the top of her head, this causes her to stop once again. "Geez Ms Swan, such a tease." I comment with a little smile on my face.

"Regina," she says not looking up at me. "I don't know what this means," she says kissing me again. God, the feel of her lips against my skin is driving me crazy. "No one can know." She stops and when i look up at her she's looking at me. "No one."

"Trust me," I move out from underneath her, reaching for her hand. "I know how to keep a secret." As we're walking up the stairs she stops. "Emma," i comment dropping her hand. "Do you not want to do this, because if you don't than we won't. I don't want you to do something you don't want to do because you're lonely or because you're upset with Neil." Folding my arms across my chest i look down at her. "When you're with me i want you to be with me because you want to be, not because your lonely."

"Regina..." she steps up and places her hands on my arms.

"Stop Ms. Swan," I say stepping up and away from her. "Please," I pause, fighting back the breaking in my voice. "You know you're way out."

"Regina..."

"Leave."

...

The sun is bright, i didn't realize so much of the day had gone by while i was inside with her. I guess time really does fly when you're having a good time. But is that what i was having a good time? Is that really what i want? A life with Regina. Me, Regina and Henry. Oh Henry, what would he say if he saw me right now, how would he feel? He spent the first year i was here telling me how much he hated Regina, and how much he wanted to run away with me so that he would never have to see his Evil Queen of a step mother again. But the thing is, i've gotten to know Regina a little bit and she is nothing like the Evil Queen of the fairy tales.

She hurts just like us.

She morns just like us.

She hates just like us.

And most of all. She loves just like everyone else.

Before taking another step i turn around and go to knock when the door opens. Her eyes a locked with mine and i'm forzen. Doesn't she deserve a happy ending? "I'm here with you," her lips find their way to mine once again. "Because i want to be." And with that the door clicks behind us.
