Thank you guys so much for giving me plot suggestions. You're the best! This chapter is for TheReaderofGods who asked for a jealous or possessive Regina. Enjoy!

"Is the blindfold really necessary?" Regina asked, holding onto Emma's arm. "I feel like I'm being kidnapped and held hostage."

Emma laughed. "You are so dramatic. And yes, it's necessary."

Regina sighed in annoyance. "You know that I hate surprises." She hated feeling like she wasn't in control. After being beat down by fate so many times, control was the only thing that made her feel safe.

"You'll like this one," Emma said confidently. They walked for a few more minutes before Emma triumphantly announced that they had arrived at their destination. She took off Regina's blindfold, and laughed at her utter confusion.

"We're in the middle of the forest," Regina said slowly. "Did you bring me out here to admire the rocks and trees? Or bird-watching, perhaps? You don't really have the patience for that one, but who knows."

Emma rolled her eyes. "No to all of the above. Just keep walking."

Regina huffed before continuing walking. "I swear if you brought me out here to go hiking-" She froze in place, completely in awe of the scene in front of her. "What is this?"

"A new stable," Emma said, coming to stand next to her. "I know you love horses, but the stable here doesn't exactly have the best memories. So I had a new one built." She smiled at Regina's shocked face before pointing down to the field. "And that horse right there is yours."

Regina followed Emma's finger and gasped. "He looks just like Rocinante."

"Had to get a little help from Snow on that one," Emma said. "She was the only one who knew what he looked like."

"I can't believe you did all of this," Regina whispered.

Emma's smile grew wider and she grabbed Regina's hand, gently pulling her down the hill. "Come on, the inside is even more amazing."


When they got inside, Regina was even more in awe of all that Emma had done. The stable was beautiful, and was fully stocked with all supplies and horses.

"I figured you could teach Henry how to ride sometime," Emma said. "You know, since he always talks about how he never got to experience the Enchanted Forest."

"You know how to ride?" Regina asked, looking at Emma in surprise.

"Of course she does," a voice said from behind Emma and Regina. "I wouldn't agree to help build all of this unless she went for a ride with me."

Emma shrugged. "It was an easy price to pay. Regina, this is Livia. She helped build all of this. Livia, this is Regina. The love of my life that all of this was for."

Regina smirked at seeing the little crack in Livia's happy face. Poor girl didn't realize that Emma was extremely oblivious to the romantic feelings of others unless it was stated. "Nice to meet you. Thank you for your help with all of this."

"Not a problem," Livia said. "I can give you a tour if you want. Or I'm sure Emma could. Although I wouldn't trust her with a map. She could barely read the blueprints of this place when I showed them to her." She winked at Emma, causing Emma to laugh.

"Okay to be fair, blueprints are really confusing," Emma protested. "Hardly anyone could read those things."

Regina glanced back and forth between Livia and Emma. "You two certainly spent a lot of time together to make this happen."

Livia smiled at Emma. "She was pretty determined to make things perfect."

Regina glared at her. "Emma, would you be so kind as to go get my jacket from the car? It's gotten cold in here rather quickly."

"Okay," Emma said, looking at Regina in confusion. "I'll be right back." She glanced between Regina and Livia before leaving to go back to the car.

The smile quickly melted from Livia's face as she saw the glare Regina was giving her. She may have been living out in the country, but she had still come from the Enchanted Forest and knew exactly who Regina was and what she could do.

"I can tell by your facial expression that you know who I am and what I'm capable of," Regina said, leaning casually against one of the stalls with her arms crossed.

Livia gulped and nodded. "Your reputation precedes you."

Regina smiled. "Good. Then I would suggest that before Emma gets back you leave." Livia went to speak, but Regina held up a hand to silence her. "Emma may be oblivious to your feelings, but I am not. So I would suggest you leave before I rip out your heart for flirting with what is mine."

Livia visibly paled before nodding and hurrying off. Regina watched her go, jumping as she heard a throat clear from behind her. She whirled around, smiling guiltily as Emma walked back into the stable, shaking her head fondly. "Really? Threatening the poor girl?"

Regina shrugged. "What can I say. I'm a possessive person."

Emma laughed before pulling Regina to her and kissing her. "Good. I like being yours."
