The one where Emma is an idiot!

I wrote this one for the guest that asked for a fic where everyone calls Emma an idiot!

Please review my one shots and give me prompts!


Emma sat on the bench at the docks sipping her coffee. Today had been everything she had tried to avoid. She had a big plan a whole thing put together that had gone completely wrong.

She was dating Regina and she actually felt happy. She hadn't been this happy in a long time, the woman made her crazy but somehow they had managed to fall in love. Everything was fine but Emma hadn't expected today to ruin everything.

See the brunette and the blonde had been dating for almost 8 months but it was a secret. Regina had decided that they wouldn't tell anyone until they were both ready and well Emma just couldn't wait. The truth was that she was tired. Emma was tired of lying to everyone; exhausted. Especially Henry and her parents, she hated lying to them. Every time Emma was headed to Regina's house she had to lie to her parents, tell her she was on a stake out or that she was having drinks with a friend. They always believed her because well, why would Emma lie? She was honestly tired of it; she couldn't keep lying to them it was weighing heavily on her soul.

Now Emma sat at the dock thinking that the heavy soul wasn't so bad. She had really done it; she had told her parents.


Emma sat down at her parent's kitchen and began.

"I have been lying to you guys and I have to tell you the truth. I can't keep doing this and I really hope you guys understand why I had to lie." Emma began

Snow sat across from her daughter with the look of worry on her face as David walked over and sat next to her. They both looked at Emma without even blinking waiting for her to continue.

Emma choked she didn't even know how to continue; she should have planned this out better.

"Well Emma, what is it?" Snow's pitch was now heightened.

Emma took a deep breath and decided to just spit it out.

"I have been dating someone. I haven't been on stake outs. I just didn't know how to tell you and at the time it seemed easier given the circumstances. Now you have to believe me when I tell you that I am completely in love with this person and I won't apologize for it. I am.. I am in love with R-Regina…" Emma bit her lip to wait for a reaction.

David's face was simply blank he had no reaction and stared at the table in front of him without saying a word. Snow however was falling of her chair opening and closing her mouth trying to formulate words. Emma tried to talk again but somehow Snow had finally caught her breath and she beat her to it.

"Are you an idiot? Is that what it is? You must be an idiot. Emma that woman is dangerous, that woman has tried to destroy all of us. She is the reason we weren't able to raise you; the reason you were brought up in foster care. I can't believe this; my daughter is sleeping with the enemy! Stupid, utterly stupid." At this point Snow was on her feet backing up away from Emma, her hands going up and down in the air at their own accord.

"I grew up alone because you choose to put me in that tree! Take blame for some of it mother, she wasn't the only one at fault. As bad as you say Regina is, she loves me and she wouldn't tell me I am an idiot, she would not insult me like that. You are my mother, I am not an idiot, I am the product of true love, you more than anyone should understand that I love her and that there's nothing I can do about that." Emma's eyes were tearing, she was insulted.

David walked over to Snow and gave her a hug turning to face Emma, still emotionless.

"Please don't tell me you agree with her dad?"

"I don't know Emma, I think your mother is right, you are being an idiot. Regina is going to hurt you that's all she ever does." David held his wife close.

Emma couldn't believe it, the two people that were supposed to be by her side no matter what were actually calling her names. She grabbed her jacket and turned to walk out.

"Low blows guys." Emma exhaled as she walked out of the apartment.

She began to walk over to the docks so she could think when her phone rang, it was Ruby.

"Hey Rubes! What's up?"

"You, idiot! You told your parents your sleeping with their nemesis? What the fuck were you thinking?" Ruby chuckled into the phone.

"I am not an idiot for wanting to tell my parents who I am in love with. I thought it was brave I don't think telling the truth makes me an idiot." Emma was actually crying but tried really hard to not let her voice prove that.

"Well I think your full of it. Telling your parents that you let the evil queen see you naked is an idiot move!"

Emma hung up she didn't want to even here it anymore. She walked to the docks and sat in silence. Ruby was her friend, she was her best friend actually and if Ruby didn't even back her up then she must be an idiot. Emma sipped her coffee and decided she was just going to get a room at grannies and sleep, there was nothing else to do. She walked to the diner and thanked god it was Ruby's day off, she paid granny made her way upstairs and collapsed on the bed.

She hadn't even fully dozed off when she heard a rapid pounding on the door. She stood up reluctantly and opened the door. For a second she smiled it was the brunette and she was extremely happy to see her. But as soon as she looked at the face Regina was sporting she deflated. Regina looked red, literally she looked like she was on fire, and that vain protruding from her neck couldn't be a good sign.

"What in the world were you thinking Swan? What possessed you to tell your parents? Did you think they were going to hug you, kiss you and tell you how happy they were! What a delusional idiot." Regina pushed her way into the room and began to pace.

Emma was frozen in her spot still looking out into the hallway she couldn't even bring herself to turn around. She was drained, she had no idea that being called an idiot by 4 different people in less than an hour would hurt her so much. Maybe she was a complete idiot.

"Look at me! Answer me!" Regina demanded.

Emma turned slowly, the tears she had released were now all over her tank top. Regina felt a pang in her chest but she was still pissed.

"Why are you crying?" Regina asked because she had too, she wasn't sure she card to know.

Emma looked up at her slowly with the face of a defeated woman. She had to get this off her chest.

"My parents told me I was an idiot, and idiot for loving you for trusting you, and it hurt. The part that hurt wasn't the part where they called me an idiot but the part where they thought that loving you was so ridiculous that I must be disabled. But I fought for you, I would do anything for you. And you come in an insult me, call me an idiot for wanting to tell the truth for wanting to be with you, because I love you. I didn't think that made me an idiot, but I guess I am one, if even the woman I am fighting for thinks that." Emma's tears were flowing heavily down her face now and she pawed at them fiercely.

Regina walked over and pushed her hands away using her own thumbs to rub the waterworks away. Looking deep into emerald eyes that showed nothing but pain.

"Emma, you love me?" Regina said searching those eyes for the truth.

Emma locked her eyes to chocolate and gave a subtle nod.

"With all my heart!" Emma bit her lip

Regina's own tears began to form as a happy smile formed on her lips.

"You're not an idiot Emma, your just too good a person for this messy world. If anyone thinks that you are an idiot, then let them because the only thing that matters is that you are my idiot!" Regina pulled her close and kissed her. "And no one else's". Emma smiled for the first time all day.
