Chapter 10

Coming to terms

"I'll be God-damned." Emma noticed Regina got up after Rumple's last revelation and made her way to the car, surely to begin making calls. Emma knew she had to help her warn the town.

Emma continued to ponder so many questions. Desperately trying to avoid the obvious revelation that may still be in the dark for Regina. "But for what purpose? I don't understand."

"Emma dear the writing is written in bold, right in front of you. The initial purpose can be many reasons. The wanting of a child, the seeking of further closeness. Or uniting an unpaired Alpha and Omega that are meant to be."

This gave Emma a hope and joy she couldn't have imagined. Her guilt was slowly fading because if she was meant to be with Regina, if they were a mated pair than surely this was beyond her control.

"In the Omegaworld the omegas go into heat to attract alphas presumably to ensure breeding and childbearing. It is the nature of that world. But here in Storybrooke it has a deeper purpose as it has leaked from another realm. Remember, magic is very mysterious dearie and the most mysterious part involves true loves. Soulmates."

"Thank you. I need to go help her and find Henry."

"I would venture to think my grandson is an alpha. Belle and I will work on some potions to help the teens sleep through this while they are kept behind tight doors."

"Does this affect all ages? Who will care for the infants?"

"Remember not everyone will go crazy with heat. And parents should be able to control themselves and care for their children. Omegaverse is the reality of many realms. It is only new to this one. But even if this, being the first time people experience it, becomes too heightened the betas and older folk can care for them."

Emma nods and turns to leave but Rumple calls her back.

"Emma, an omega will need to copulate the entire time. Whether it lasts two days, three days or one week."

"Alright." She turns to leave again.

"Make sure you and she have plenty of water or she can dangerously dehydrate. So can you but omegas lose more fluid than alphas."

Emma swallowed the lump in her throat at his unfiltered depth of knowledge. She nodded her head silently and walked out into the cold night.

Emma explained the potion to Regina and Regina informed her she had already warned her secretary and assistant. They were now quickly working to warn the town's people.

"We should stop at your parents. Or I suppose I will. I'm sure you'll be needing to make preparations as Hook should arrive any moment."

"No, that won't be necessary; I'll go with you." Emma knew that she would soon need to talk to Regina as she was seemingly still in the dark.

"As you wish." Regina was purple with jealousy and pain. She understood now why she was feeling the way she was. Clearly she of all people was an alpha and Hook was Emma's damn omega. She was surprised she hadn't sprouted her own penis yet.

On the way Belle called to further explain as she had already been digging in her books. She re-enforced that the only people who had to worry about a genitalia change would be Alpha females as betas and omegas wouldn't be at risk and alpha females could grow a penis on command when necessary. In addition, omegas had to worry about getting pregnant as they became extremely susceptible during heat. Alphas could rarely conceive in Omegaverse as most barely had a uterus from how small they became. For Alpha males it was out of the question entirely. Betas would behave as they normally would. And after Belle explained the details of a male omega pregnancy Regina thought she would vomit her lunch.

When they arrived at the Charmings they quickly sat down and filled them in on most of the details. Snow was extremely worried, as usual.

"Oh. But we just had a baby and we have Emma. We can't have another baby again."

"Maybe we're betas."

Regina stepped up, "Somehow I doubt that. If I ventured to guess I'd say that you're both alphas or you Snow…maybe an omega."

Emma chimed in, "That sounds about right."

"Do contraceptives work?" A wide eyed Snow asked.

"Gold and Belle said not everyone gets pregnant so I'm assuming they may work."

"It wouldn't hurt to use them."Charming says to Snow.

"And that's my cue. When my parents start talking about their sex life is when I take my leave." As Emma gets up they all get a group text from Ruby and Zelena.

"And my sister's back. I'll see everyone later." Regina gets up to leave as Emma follows behind.

"I need to go talk to Zelena. Go home Emma." She says this with an extra bite to her name.

'You are my home.' Emma lovingly thinks as she wants to laugh and cry and just grab her and kiss her while professing her destined love. 'Why the hell did I have to go and get married?!'

Regina opens the door as Zelena barges in with an enormous smile! "Sis!"

She pulls Regina into an embrace. "So was it you naughty girl?" She reaches down and grabs Regina's crotch which earns a yelp and jump that lands her onto Emma!

"Are you crazy?!" Regina is horrified.

Emma found it amusing until Regina's proximity became evident to her down under.

"Oh bollocks. I'd hoped you'd find romance again."

Regina is wide eyed at her sister and again, at the growing hardness behind her. Emma's right hand rests on Regina's waist where she attempted to brace her when she jumped backwards. Except now those are the only two things Regina can register.

Emma quietly begs, "Please don't move. They'll know."

Regina tries desperately to direct her attention at Zelena, "How?" But she loses her voice. "How'd you know I was here and where's baby Robin?"

Zelena continues to make her way inside greeting the Charmings. "I saw your car of course. But I didn't expect to see you Emma. Where's Hoooook?" She notices the situation as she reached around to give Emma a peck hello.

Emma opens her eyes silently pleading for her not to say anything.

"Um…he's in his ship. He's sailing. He's a sailor. He's working."

"Still? Well, he's been gone a long time. Obviously." Zelena can't wipe the smile off her face.

"Three weeks. Yeah, helping Nemo secure a new sub wasn't as easy as they thought but he should be back any day."

"Why…are you hoping he'll bring a sailor back for you copulate with?" Regina asks Zelena bitterly.

"Oh sis, sis, sis. Always so boring. Except not right now I take it?"

Now it was Regina's turn to give her a death glare. "Where's my niece?"

Zelena sits, "I left her with Granny for a little while. She's fast asleep, my little angel. I figured I'd come out and help you two. Didn't want her hearing all that sex talk anyway. Oh it was hilarious when granny filled us in. She read Ruby her rights about impregnating her fiancée before they are officially married next week. Dorothy looked simply dead!"

"Oh man that's right. It's happening next week already." Charming says to no one in particular.

"Well, of course. That is why I traveled all the way to Oz to go get them. But I must say what's happening now is far more interesting indeed." She turns her attention towards Emma and Regina.

The women have been fighting their basic instincts to just throw each other down and have their way on the living room carpet. Regina is so heated she can't come up with an escape plan and Emma is feeding off her heat and her head is swimming in ecstasy while her body burns up.

Regina wants to rip that grin off her sister's face but Zelena doesn't stop, "Has it gotten warm in here?"

Regina pleads with her eyes asking her for a distraction. Emma is squeezing at her side and drawing closer. Regina can't control herself as she leans back and perks her behind further, reaching for more contact. The Charmings will surely notice any minute!

Regina can't take it anymore; she's physically sweating! She's about to teleport them when Ruby and Dorothy run in.

"Snow!"

"Ruby!"

"Emma!"

"Hey Dorothy." Says a deflated and quiet Emma.

"Why are you guys standing like that?" Dorothy is nothing if not blunt.

"Like what?" Emma is oblivious that acting oblivious never solved a thing.

Regina's eyes well up with unshed tears as she whispers, "Alright that's it! You owe me!"

She teleports them back to the mansion.

When they arrive, "Hey! Where'd you guys go?" Henry stops his video game and turns to them. They can't catch a break. Emma notices the bottle of Advil and feels completely guilty.

"I'm so sorry kid." But Regina interrupts with a wave of her hand, "Not now." She teleports them into her bedroom and immediately separates.

"This was the worst possible place to teleport." She says aloud anxiously.

"Hey you poofed us here."

"Get out!" Regina yells.

"Well that's unnecessary."

"Get out!"

"Regina we HAVE to talk."

"No, you need to go talk to your husband. And I need to talk to our son and prepare him for what's about to happen."

"Regina you don't understand."

"No Emma. Enough. What I understand is that you married Killian Jones. Now I don't know all the details but they are none of my business. What I do know is that you need to go speak to your husband."

"Fine. But Regina…"

"No!"

Emma sees for the first time that Regina is fighting back tears. "You need to go solve your issues! Until then Ms. Swan don't come knocking on my door."

Emma opens her mouth to speak as she approaches her but Regina waves her hand and in seconds she finds herself standing in her living room back home.
