I'm literally so sorry that this story is so terrible. I'm also sorry for not posting in a while. I've been going through something personal and it's not been very easy. I'll add more to this eventually, promise.

NOT EDITED YET

Walking out of my mothers house my smile falls and I start the walk to Emma's house. I felt bad about ditching her earlier. I was afraid of what she would say and my mother called at just the right time.

This are complicated and I don't want my issues making anything worse. Especially with my father still out there.

I knock on Emma's door and stuff my hands into my pockets. She pulls the door open and smiles slightly.

"Hey." I attempt a smile but we both know it's fake.

"Hi, come in. We can go upstairs. Regina and Henry are in the living room watching a movie." She steps aside but I stay where I am.

"I don't want to intrude on a family night or something," I shuffle uncomfortably. "Maybe I should go."

"You don't have to leave. You're family too, you know that." Her eyebrows knit together.

"If you're sure."

"I'm sure." She smiles and holds out her hand. Smiling slightly I grab her hand and we walk inside.

"Guys, we're gonna go upstairs and talk for a bit." Regina looks at us concerned. I shrug halfheartedly and Emma and I walk upstairs.

I sit on the end of the bed and Emma sits next to me.

"How long have you felt like this?" She asks and I pick at my nails.

"Around a week maybe, I dont know for sure."

"Why didnt you say anything?"

"I didn't want to cause problems." I look down and my eyes water.

"You aren't. We need to talk about these things. If we don't talk about it we can't fix it, Rena."

"I know, I'm sorry." Emma reaches over and grabs my hand in both of hers.

"This is new to all three of us. It's normal to feel out of place. We're still working through how to be in a relationship where there are three of us. It's not going to be easy. One of us was bound to feel like this eventually but next time you need to tell us so we can fix it."

"I know. I'll say something next time." She wipes under my eyes with her thumbs before standing up.

"I'm going to go get Regina." I nod and move so I'm sitting against the headboard. She kisses my forehead and leaves the room.

They take a few minutes so I'm guessing Emma filled her in. They sit on either side of me and I sigh quietly.

"You should have told us, Rena." Regina sighs.

"I know."

"I think that maybe you should go and see Archie." She says softly while grabbing my hand and I nod.

"That's probably a good idea." I agree.

"I think you should talk to Henry as well." Emma says and I nod.

"Okay, I will."

"I know how you feel, Rena, you know that. You can always come to the both of us just like we know we can always come to you." Emma says while grabbing my free hand and I nod silently.

I move down so my head is in Emma's lap and Regina slowly rubs up and down my back. Emma's fingers run through my hair and I sigh contently. I trace patterns on her thigh through her pajama pants and close my eyes.

"Regina?" I ask while turning over to look up at her and Emma.

"Hm?"

"Why are you so reluctant to merge back with the Queen?" I ask her.

"I..don't really know exactly. I don't want that darkness inside of me anymore."

"We all have darkness inside of us. I do, Emma does and so do you. With or without the Queen. She's not evil, Regina. She's you. She's hurt and she's changing into a better person just like you did. You haven't seen her around me lately. She's different." I move so I'm sitting across from them and sit criss cross.

"What do you mean she's hurt?" Regina asks and I sigh.

"You're all she had. Then you got rid of her and she had nowhere else to go so she followed you here! Except she still has nowhere to go because the second she got here you acted like you hated her. She's you, Regina. You can't change that. She's not a terrible person or evil. Not anymore. You changed so why can't you give her that same chance?" I raise my voice and Regina sighs running her fingers through her hair. Emma looks between the two of us not sure what to do.

"I didn't know she felt that way."

"Because you didn't ask. You were too busy yelling at her."

"She's really different now?" Regina asks.

"Yes. Let me prove it to you?" Regina nods and I smile.

"Em, do you and Henry wanna stay here or are you going with to my place?"

"We'll stay here." She smiles and kiss her softly.

"Mm, I'll see you tomorrow." She says when we break apart. I nod and Regina and I go downstairs. We say goodbye to Henry and start the walk to my place.

I grab Regina's hand while we walk and she kisses my knuckles before she teleports us to my apartment. The Queen was sitting on my bed trying to figure out the tv and I chuckle.

Her head shoots up and she smiles before it falls upon seeing Regina.

"It's okay." I smile reassuringly and she nods.

"How was your day?" I ask the Queen as Regina and I sit down.

"It was okay. How was yours, love?"

"I talked to Emma and my mom. I think it went well." I smile and she smiles back.

"That's great. I'm proud of you, I know how hard that must've been to talk about." She grabs my hand.

"As much as I hate talking about how I feel, I think it helped. The talk with my mom, I mean. I don't really know what's gonna happen between Emma and I now. I hope that the situation is resolved but I don't know." I shrug and they both frown.

"What do you mean?" Regina asks and the Queen nods in agreement.

"I obviously still have some insecurities about Emma and I and I still kind of doubt that she truly cares for me and not just cause of Regina. I hope they go away and that it's not true because I really like Emma and I want this to work."

The Queen squeezes my hand before letting go and holding her arm up. I curl up under her arm and she kisses my head.

"It's not true. Emma truly cares for you. She told me herself. Maybe you guys should do something together? That way you can get some one on one time like you and I have all the time and you can get to know each other better." Regina suggests.

"That's a good idea." The Queen agrees and her fingers stroke the side of my arm.

"Yea, I think I'll try that." They both smile and Regina looks at the both of us for a second.

"You really have changed, haven't you?" She asks the Queen.

"I like to think so." The Queen smiles and I grab her free hand.

"You have." I smile. "You've come a very long way."

"I'm sorry for how I reacted before. I should have at least listened to what you had to say." Regina tells her while frowning.

"It's okay."

I smile looking between the both of them before a thought crosses my mind.

"What about my father?" I ask them.

"Well, he's most likely planning something so I guess all we can really do is be prepared." Regina says and the Queen nods in agreement.

"He's definitely planning something. He was the one who helped me get here. That's what I was doing there when I found Serena. I don't think he's alone either. I've heard him mention things before he catches himself and stops talking. The way he speaks; he's psychotic." The Queen explains. I furrow my eyes and mentally go through a list of possible people that could be working with him.

"Who else could be working with him?" I ask and Regina's eyes get wide.

"Hyde." She says before licking her lips. "It makes so much sense. I can't believe I hadn't realized."

"We have to tell Emma and the Charming's tomorrow." The Queen groans at the Charming's and I smile briefly.

"Can we just forget about everything going on for a minute?" I ask them and they both nod in agreement.

This is so terrible oh my god.
