Take me further down the forbidden path

hmm it's been a while my bad. I've just got stuff I'm focused on. Been kinda hard working, preparing to move, get my drivers liscense, buying a car, and write but I've done it slowly but surely.
I hope you like it and that you don't mind a few mistakes. I am still only able to write on a tablet. I want to assure you all though this is still a dark swan queen story. It's a slow process because there are usually many factors to a sudden change of ones directions in life. There are always signs the important thing is who is watching? Who tries to help you? Who get you and stands by you? But most importantly in this story who is changing who? Have any of you drawn any conclusions yet.
None the less here you go!
The first day after the curse broke proved difficult but thanks to Regina's loyal assistant and Snow actually deciding to listen to her they managed to leave messages for anyone deserting work. This thankfully convinced those whom didnt seem to have thought the whole plan out well enough to realise there were consequences that came with it. They were told in no uncertain terms was anyone to skip work the following day. If they cared for each others well being there should be no problems Regina thought as she headed into the office for what she believed was going to be a long day. Though it certainly was a long day when she arrived home at least there was not a crowd awaiting her return.
It seemed Emma did everything she could on her end to help out. Every phone call she got that said the Evil Queen had threatened them in a voicemail she demanded they listen to it again and assess what she really said. Emma knew what it said because the sherrif office had a recording of its own. She knew it wasn't as bad as others tried to make it and it wasn't even as if Regina had said them personally.
Her day was a riot from picking apart fight after fight over things or people that had been misplaced or taken away during the curse. Sure Regina seperated some people but in light of now knowing true loves kiss and how strong it was Emma could assume that was the reson why with some cases. It was just in case. The second day was filled with fines and arrests. It was a necessary evil to get everyone back to work. Boycotting was not the way to keep the town alive. When Emma finally made her way home she was exhausted.
"Can't anyone just listen. I mean if you really wanted to ruin the town you built wouldn't you have freaking just done it by now. You could have left town, secrectly made it so now one had money to live their lives, or heck you could have even been a ruthless mayor." Emma shouted into the empty foyer. Her loud exasperations causing Regina to enter said empty foyer in a rush as if to see if there was any crucial reason behind such an upset tone. Upon finding no mob on her porch she greeted her lover an asked about her day and what was going on to bother her so much.
Appearantly aside from writing tickets mostly all day Emma still had to deal with the nomal drunken Leroy as well as the new and latest thing people are doing while around Emma. Everywhere she went mostly everyone bowed or treated her like royalty. Granted she really was but still that wasn't the life she wanted to live now. She exclaimed this firmly as if to ensure Regina believed her. A timer going off in the kitchen drew their attention to the food now done cooking. Without delay a loud growl emanated from Emma's stomach. Regina let out a heartily laugh and called Henry down for dinner before leading the way back into the kitchen.
"Come on dear we best feed you before chatting about your day." Regina teased. Emma didn't complain about being offered food though she never did. That evening the small talk was much better than in past nights. For once Regina was happy there was no hiding anymore. The curse broke but once past all the shock and panic over everything she had always imagined happinging she was able to live without that weight on her shoulders. Henry seemed to be happier without lies anymore. Emma was the only one still adjusting and the small Mills family would be there to help her along the way.
That night durning there down time Emma spoke up to Regina about her fears knowing Henry was up in bed and to young to believe in them or understand them.
"I think they are going to rise up Gina. I heard some guys talking at Granny's and I think it's best we prepare." Regina had always expected this but now unlike before there was a way to keep Henry safe. Of course she knew neither one would like it let alone agree. She said it anyways.
"You could just promise to take Henry and go if things get out of control." She recieved a glare in return. That was not going to happen. Knowing this though made her frown and wonder what else could be done.
"We are not going down without a fight. If we have to we do it together. Im not losing you and you are not losing us." she took Regina's hand and summoned a fire ball with their combined power at which Regina was surprised to see the strength of true loves bond. "We have this power to defend ourselves with. Nothing will stop us." Emma exclaimed leaving Regina with shivers much like she suspected being the Evil Queen had once done to anyone she came across. Emma's eyes were suddenly so much darker and yet so sudductive due to how close Emma became when obtaining Regina's hand.
"I couldn't agree more." It just slips out without thought but Regina finds herself in full agreement. Extinguishing the fire ball she pulls Emma into a even more searing hot kiss. As much as Emma was changing her Regina still loved the feeling of someone knowing her so well and walking with her in whichever direction this chaos would take them. She loved their was someone else in the world that knew it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. Someone that knew this and had Henry as a priority just as she did. If there was one thing she learned it was if you wanted to protect something or someone you had to be willing to do anything to do that.
Regina was so lost in thought that it was only when she felt magic tug her along in a puff of smoke did she come back. She saw Emma's intent and both women quickly disrobed Between battles of their tongues. Emma told her to lay back while she disappeared for a moment. When she came back she wore a strap-on which Regina could only wonder were she'd gotten it from. Slowly Emma crept onto the bed and delicately kissed up Regina's body. This was what the hunger in her eyes had said earlier but she hadn't expected this an yet her body reacted as if it was all she wanted. Her core throbbed as it poked her between kisses. She craved to be filled by the phallus.
Once she was there was no one in all of her experience that made her feel as good as then. Many people aside from Graham had laid with her because the Evil Queen was all seduction and anyone with a libido would take the opportunity if given. Yet now with Emma in this way she knew none of them compared. None of them filled her this way or pleased her as Emma has in the last month or more.
Regina came undone as Emma began thrusting deeper. What small moans Regina was making and trying to stifle became louder and unmuffled as her hands wrapped around Emma's neck. Her pace picked up as she felt herself adjust to the toy and moisten around it. She was on the edge multiple times but each time Emma would slow down and work herself into a new position that ultimately rocketed Regina right back up to the edge in seconds. Getting more and more bothered each time more than she was able to control as she snapped suddenly and slipped off the toy regretfully. She quickly pushed Emma back onto the bed and straddled her hips burying the thick long phallus inside her once more. Her hips began rocking and she leaned down so she could slid up and down faster. Emma would meet her halfway causing her to feel the depth of her core being pounded so perfectly. She shook as she kept on until three full orgasms were driven out of her.
"You've done that before?" Regina managed to pant out with a slight chuckle as she fell beside Emma.
"Mm once but it wasn't nearly as amazing at that." Emma turns to face Regina and caressed her hip. "I cant believe your hips move like that babe."
"Well I was hungry for something and you was taking your time giving it to me." They laugh while trying to find the energy to climb out of bed to take a shower. Regina doesn't let the sheet sit, she "poofs" them away to the laundry room while also placing fresh ones down. Laying down later the two curled up and held onto each other as if it was their last night to. The two rested well only to be woken up by Henry stomping around.
Emma grumbled asking what his problem was. Turned out Regina had poofed the sheets into the washer already full of clean clothes for Henry today. In fact she had forgotten to dry them and he went searching for them. After sifting through the sheets did he realize why it meant they were dirty. Emma couldn't help but to smirk despite her embarrassment. To soothe her sons frustration she magiced the items she forgot to dry into his hands, completely dry and smelling fresh and clean. He was off to school without another word leaving both women alone in the house silent from embarrassment.
It took all but two seconds after he left for Emma to cave bursting in laughter. Regina followed in suit but tried to cover up her giggle before Emma could hear it.
"Di-did you you just giggle?" Emma asked through her own fits of laughter. Regina blushed and shock her head trying to lie but Emma had be sure she heard her giggle. "You did. You're so adorable."
"I. Am. Not. Adorable." Regina stated through her teeth. Emma said nothing but nor did she take it back. Once they had finished getting dressed for work they parted in the drive way to their own cars and left for work with a kiss which ended up more like a make out session since both women wanted the other one to be thinking of them while at work all day. Regina climbed in her car an muttered to herself while she waited for Emma to pull out from the drive way.
"What on earth have you done to me Emma?" She couldn't believe herself sometimes. If she had be her old self watching the two of them interact the Evil Queen would have killed Emma by now. Then again some part of her, even the Evil Queen part, liked everything Emma did to her. They drove away from home in similar directions until Emma turned left and Regina kept on straight.
The day wasn't as hard as the last few. The hardest part was telling herself that despite her wanting to eat lunch with Emma she was most likely busy with sherrif things. So she decided she would work through lunch to keep her mind focused and her heart from hurting. It was at 1 anyways when her assistant interrupted to say someone was there to see her. The door opened without a knock and Regina gasped surprised to see Emma standing there with Granny's in hand.
"I got you your regular, a salad, and me a grilled cheese. I couldn't resist getting us root beers I hope you like them."
"I do actually." She got up and pulled Emma into a hug. "I didn't think I was going to get to eat lunch with you today."
"So you wasn't going to eat? I asked she said you hadn't even told her to get you anything when she went out." Regina blushed lightly not wanting to have Emma focused on her not eating. She grabbed the bag and turned towards the couch and unpacked both lunches. Emma was instantly destracted by food. She would have laughed if she wasn't so hungry herself. Not long enough into their lunch did Regina's phone ring. She looked perplexed seeing as no one ever called her well except snow for her help. Then Emma's phone rang as well. Alarms when off in both their minds as Henry was the only thing they both would get called for. Regina answered her phone and placed the call on speaker so Emma could hear.
"Ms. Mills. There has been an incident at school between Henry and his fellow classmates. We need to send him home and you to come in to speak with the principal so the situation can be resolved." The familar voice of Susan the front desk worker came through. "We are also calling Emma is you are to busy to come in."
"I am never to busy for Henry. We will be there in 10 minutes." The woman strutted her response and hung up. To Regina it sounded as if they would have rathered Emma's presence instead of her own.
"Guess we have to skip the post lunch fun today." Emma joked bringing Regina back to her. She catches what Emma said and pins her with a glare that says 'don't play with me right now.' Emma gulps and decides it's best if she just picks up their lunch and get headed to the door quickly. She hold it open for Regina and they head over together in there own perspective cars. Since Regina has no idea if she'll get to come back in she tells her assistant to keep anything urgent sent to her phone she'll work from home if she has to.
Henry is looking down swinging his feet while waiting when they arrive but as they get closer they realize it's actually his swinging his feet waiting while his face is being iced. Just above the ice pack is some sort of injury on his cheek or eye. They would know which if he wasn't so hesitant to show them. Regina frantically pulls the ice away causing him to his in pain. They both can see a deep red abrasion under his eye. The swelling lead into the slowly brusing area around the eye. Regina kisses his forehead gently and stomps off. She whispered to him in Spanish which Emma was still stuck on until she heard Regina yelling. Quickly she ran to catch up throwing over her shoulder a few words to Henry. She was glad he caught them as he put the ice back on her eye and resumed swinging his legs.
"Who did this to my son. I will have words with them and their parents."
"You can't, I sent them home already Ms Mills."
"Do you have any idea what kind of trouble that kid will be in if I found out you let him off Scott free." Regina threatened. Of course he knew. "He'll be working his but off so hard under my supervision I won't need an assistant anymore."
"We didn't let his 'off Scott free' as you say. No he has been suspended. This is precisely why I sent his away before you came. Honestly Henry is your child perhaps it's best if he be home schooled." The principle stated as if it was only fair. Only just that on kid suffers while the other gets next to nothing in punishment.
"Excuse me sir?" Emma butted in. "You mind if I say something."
"Of course savior." Regina could see a vain tick in Emma's forehead at that.
"our son shouldn't be punished and removed from school, if that's what you are suggesting, just because some brat wanted to settle his parents fights with our son. Everything going on has to do with us adults Henry has nothing to do with the curse." Emma said and Regina nodded agreeing fully because if she could keep Henry safe she would take all the pain anybody had to give they simply had to come to her. She knew the risks of the curse breaking Wien she adopted Henry but she had so desperately wanted to be loved and love another that it mattered none at the time.
"That's just it. The mother says it has everything to do with things going on at home. Supposedly the curse kept his family together but with it broken the separations they were going through are now in progress again. Seems Henry's part in breaking the curse caused Kevin's grief to target him." An so Regina frowned at this information. Of all things to hurt her son, of all the reasons, and somehow it had been based on something related to him.
Emma could see and understand why this may have happened but she didn't like the way the principle seemed so determined to blame Henry as well. She looked him in the eyes and saw fear. Henry had been a part of the curse breaking and maybe voiced his beliefs in school long before she arrived but he wasn't scared of just anything. Henry had cursed his own mother, on accident, but still cursed her none the less. He was scared of Henry turning out like Regina. Maybe Regina didn't see this yet but Emma couldn't let it stand.
"That is a load of crap. Pardon my language but no I won't let you push out probably one of your best students because a child who was alone in his beliefs saved you all. He had no guidance and no one to help him fix all this. Now he has and you all should be cheering his name but because one twerps kid get upset his parents are having problems you let them abuse our kid. I want his parents number and he will have to apologize to Henry in person but he will be expelled before Henry is." Once Regina hears Emma words it makes sense all of a sudden that Henry was threatened not for having a part but for still being her son. Anger boiled inside but she bit her cheek and ushered Emma out of the principals office before either of them said anything else. Henry got up and said he was sorry to both his moms before turning his injured side of his face away from them so he could hug them both. His skin tightened harshly without the ice numbing his face he hissed in pain.
"come on my little prince let's take you home and fix up your face okay." Regina said leading his gently by his shoulder. Knowing everything his parents said and the way they tried fighting to keep him in school he hated to ask but he did anyways once they were outside.
"Do I have to come back moms?" Both women paused outside their cars and looked at each other then him.
"Only if you want to but look kid if you run now it can only get worse. You have to stand up. You can show them you are tough and that you don't care what they say. They might come at you a little more but if you are smart and strong about it you'll show them you are not what they think." He didn't know how he would do that just yet but he would try and hopefully next time he wouldn't get hurt this bad. Henry mumbled his okay and climbed into his mother's car and waited as he let the two talk before they parted with a kiss. His mom climbed in the car and said.
"We'll fix you up and home have some dinner. Then how about some ice cream after dear?"
"Can we see gran Ingrid." It was odd knowing she was his gran because Emma thought of her as a mother but he already liked her so much that sometimes it didn't matter to him.
"Where else would we go." Regina said but Henry thought it to himself as well. Just the idea of a good family night was helping him forget his pain already as well as the lack of ice he'd had since leaving school. The only time he really remember his other grandparents was as he laid down for bed all bandaged up. His exhaustion didn't allow him to dwell long though. Just moments on his day. Like how his moms had healed his cut but told him it was better if they left something. The brusing was mostly gone just so it wouldn't hurt as much and then they had headed out for ice cream after dinner. Then they walked the docks down to the beach which he ran mostly. This caused him to be as tired as he was once he finally crawled into bed.
'I wonder why they haven't bothered seeing us the last couple days' is all he can think of before sleep pulls him under. It wasn't that he didn't see his grandmother at school but she hadn't said anything about Emma nor nothing about them hanging out soon. he could t help but wonder if his grandparents were either to focused on each other to see how much they needed to do to get his ma to forgive them. Or if they didn't think they were worth it since they were all so close to Regina already.
reviews please!
It really is exciting writing a dark story lets just hope in the end it is done justice. There is really no easy way to separate the small Mills family if you guys were hoping for a light Henry. If you were best speak up because he's looking to be heading down the dark path with his parents soon enough.
Any ways thank you for reading and leaving reviews. I wish to hear more from you all so I know how you feel.
