There were several things that Snow was looking forward to experiencing now that she had Emma back in her life again, this was not one them. By this, she meant having to listen to her daughter's moans as a man who despite being her grandson's father was not the person Emma was meant to be with, was thrusting into her. Emma didn't know this of course, and Snow was trying to figure out how. How could Emma be hopelessly in love with one person one minute and then the next be falling into someone else's arms it just didn't add up.
It wasn't an issue with memory because Emma remembered kissing Regina she just didn't remember the feeling she had during it. It was definitely some kind of a spell or a curse. Snow was never able to do magic herself, she didn't have the gift, so she understand very little of it, if any at all. There was one thing she knew, one thing for sure, that True love's kiss could beat any curse, therefore all that would need to happen is for Regina to kiss Emma. Of course with Emma believing that she is in love with Neal that could be a problem. That coupled with the fact that Regina believes that the kiss was a fluke that Emma was playing her. Yes she had a very big problem on her hands.
It would be far easier to convince Regina to kiss Emma, because Emma was the one under the curse, and Regina was very aware that she was in love with Emma. All Snow would have to do is find her. Where is the one place the evil queen would feel safe in The Enchanted Forest. Obviously her Castle. Snow high fived herself for being so smart and then proceeded to Regina's Castle.
No one was suppose to know she was there, so why did the door to her balcony suddenly open. Regina rolled her eyes when she saw Snow White standing there in front of her. No doubt come to make her feel better? Wasn't that what she was best at? She folded her arms, metaphorically shutting out the love and support coming from her former step-daughter. It's not that she didn't appreciate it, she did, but after a while it becomes hard to accept love from people who you have harmed so terribly. She killed the poor girl's father, and now here she was trying to be friendly. Guilt was just not something she needed from the girl. There was no way she was ever going to understand the kind of relationship Regina had to deal with, despite being wed, it is still rape if the other spouse is unwilling. She can never tell Snow how many times that happened. She can never tell the girl how her father made her bleed all over their sheets and then yelled at her for it and , how he felt like a centipede inside of her, how he took as many women as he wanted into his bed, and loved his dead wife more than anything, but never allowed her the comfort of a warm body at night. She could never tell her that, it would be worse than taking his life, it would be taking away the good memory she had of him. She wasn't that evil.
"What do you want?" The question came out colder than she intended but also came out a little bit more desperate then she intended as well. Of course Snow would be able to pick up on that, she had become good at reading people. It was probably her terrible miss read of Cora, that drove Snow to becoming this way. She stepped closer to Regina, leaving space between them enough that the former Queen wouldn't feel trapped.
"Don't believe for one second, that you don't deserve her love." She shouted this, and Regina was thankful that there was a railing behind her because otherwise she probably would have fallen over the other side, and that is a long way down. She had expected warmth and pity, but not angry compliments.
"I...I think I deserve everything." That was a lie.
"That was a lie. You don't think you deserve anything after what you've done, even before that I think. After you lost the boy from the stables?" Snow gasped it was all coming together she figured it all out. "Maybe even before that? Cora wanted you to live her life, she didn't approve of who you were. She didn't think you were good enough did she?" It was more than shock, it was like Snow White had read her mind the usually dense woman, saw everything. Regina didn't like it, not at all. No one was allowed to see that. No one! Snow dared to step closer now. "Everyone has done something they regret, I am definitely not blameless I killed your mother, you killed my father, granted you have probably killed more people than me, I am not perfect. Emma isn't perfect. But you have changed Regina, I can see that, Henry sees that, and I know Emma sees it too." Regina blinked back the unwanted tears, she shouldn't let Snow know that her words are affecting her like this.
"I think right now, all Emma can see is Neal." Snow nodded.
"But its not really her. I mean its her, but she's being affected by something. Why is it so hard to believe that she really does love you." Regina turned her back to Snow White then and said.
"Because she doesn't." Snow shook her head, and placed her hand on Regina's shoulder again, knowing full well that she would shrug her off.
"At least come back with me. Neal says he has a plan to save Henry." Regina nodded her back still turned.
"I will come back with you for Henry." As they walked away together, Snow white was thinking to herself: How do I get my evil step mother, to kiss my daughter?
