~Emma's POV~
I shift uncomfortably in bed. My eyes pop open and stare into nothing but darkness. It's hard for me to sleep, even if it's been a year, I sometimes dream of that moment where I lost my baby. I'm 16 now and will be starting my sophomore year in high school only to turn 17 come December.
Regina is 17, almost 18, and this will be her senior year. She's already looking for colleges since mom and dad are enforcing it. She even pulled her shit together which needed to happen sooner or later since she will be 18 soon enough.
My clock screams 4:50 in the morning causing me to groan out in annoyance. Just on cue, the shower could be heard, my baby sister starts crying, Dad's heavy feet bang against the floor with every aching step past my room and towards the nursery, and the entire house comes to life.
I hate that everyone here are morning birds. Well Mom and Regina are and Dad has no choice because of his job. If it weren't for the coffee, he'd be like me right now, throwing a bitch fit.
"Another day another life..,"I mutter and yank back the sheets.
"Emma! Want to go for a run?" Regina calls from her shower. How did she even know I was up?
"Sure why not." I mumble back. When the shower cuts off. Regina quietly tip toes in my room with that devious grin on her face. She let's her towel fall before she spreads my legs and pushes her lips into mine.
Honestly her kiss alone relaxed me completely. It takes my mind off of everything that comes with the mood swings of a depressed teenager. I get why she was so aggy at this age. It's like you're angry at everything and any little thing could tick you off or make you cry.
After my miscarriage, I pushed Regina away. Even though she stayed in the hospital to take care of me after school, I hardly spoke to her. I was pissed about the fight, I was pissed about the whole Mo thing, and I was definitely pissed about the stitches on my side from surgery.
Killian and Jeff broke my rib and it punctured my lung which is why I started choking on blood. The blow to my stomach didn't kill the baby, it caused bleeding, so much bleeding that they had no choice to abort it if I were to survive my surgery. The doctors said that the traumatic stress on my body was slowly killing it and the fact that I drunk the night before made the bleeding even worse.
I think Regina took the news harder than anybody. Even if she would act like she's okay for my sake, I still saw behind her mask. She was definitely torn about the entire thing. Eventually, she won her way back into my heart just as she always does. We had alot of figuring out to do but we managed to fix all that was broken.
Mom and Dad didn't know how to feel I guess. They were more upset that I didn't tell them about it proving Regina right. For a while they were upset with me and monitored my every move, but now, they're over it since it's been a year.
I hold onto Regina for dear life as our hips meet together, creating this powerful sensation though out my body. She manages to push in deeper, hitting every inch of me deep inside.
"How are you feeling?" She mumbles against my lips. I hum in response and tighten the grip that my legs now have on her body.
"So much better now." I moan out softly. Her adorable chuckle fills the room as she fills me up with cum. Did I mention that mom put me on birth control?
"I was thinking that today would be a great beach day. Want to come?" She groans as she pulls out. I sit up and grab her towel from the floor use it to absorb all of the cum that's dripping out.
"Who's all coming?" I ask.
"Well...Lola of course." She grins, "Zelena, Kat, Mal, Jefferson, Lily, Ellie, August, Ruby, Robin, Daniel—"
"So everybody." I interrupt. She gives me a cheeky grin and nods her head.
"But I'm giving Mo and Ivy a ride." I groan at their names because they're people she's definitely screwed before.
She screwed Mal too and fucking Kat. I should've known that was coming. That's another thing we kept feuding about. Regina was going through this stage in her adolescent life where her hormones went wild and she kept getting drunk and sleeping with people. Eventually she stopped only because I broke up with her. Right now, she knows I still have a hard time trusting her.
"I really dont like your 'friends'." I air quote. Regina rolls her eyes and lightly knocks her shoulder into mine. If she thinks that little gesture would cheer me up, then she knows me too well.
"Come on they were just one night stands Em. You know I love you with all of my ever beating heart." Who can reject that beautiful smile?
"Fine!" I groan out. Regina jumps up and cheers happily before racing back through the bathroom and towards her room. "A beach day in August! This shall be fun!"
"Your sarcasm is hardly amusing dear." She calls back from her room. With an eye roll I stomp into the bathroom. I've always brushed my teeth before taking a shower. I scrub away all of the morning breath grime for two and a half minutes before turning on the shower.
"Girls! Breakfast is ready!" My mom calls through the hall.
"Thanks mom!" I call from the shower.
"I'm coming!" Regina squeals out with excitement. I can definitely hear her race down the stairs with heavy feet. Imagining how she must look is hilarious.
"Goo ba ba ba!" I peak down to find Snow sitting on the floor and playing with my hairbrush. I have no idea how the hell she got it or how she even got in here in the first place.
Snow stands to her feet and waddle over to the shower. She begin to bang the brush on the glass sending cringes to my teeth.
"Stop." I scold with a serious face. At least I try, her laugh is too contagious.
"Mom mom mom!" She squeals.
"I'm not your mom Snow. Go find mommy." Snow cocks her head in confusion and drops the brush. Her tiny fingers glide against the glass as she tries to figure out what it is.
My baby sister has to be the sweetest little thing ever. She's so adorable too. She just turned 1 last month and she's starting to look like Dad. She has our green eyes, fair skin, and our chin while the rest is all Cora.
Regina could even pass off this baby as her's. Snow has Regina's hair completely; the same curls and color. It's not as thick but the resemblance is still there.
"Oh jeez Em I'm so sorry!" My dad mumbles as he rushes in to grab Snow.
"It's fine dad, she didn't do anything yet." I tease; my dad chuckles and makes sure to keep his eyes anywhere else but my naked body.
"DADDY!" Snow squeals and taps his cheek.
"Yes it's me! Say bye to Emma." He instructs. Snow turns to me and shows off all her little teeth.
"Bye bye Em-ma!" I give her a tiny wave and watch as she snuggles into to dad.
It's so sad and disgusting that I get jealous of mom and dad. That could be Regina and I: a blonde and a brunette raising an adorably sweet child. I know it will happen some day, but since we lost ours it's hard to see.
Regina's jealousy is way worse. Don't get me wrong, we love our baby sister to death. It's just that when she shares cute moments with mom and dad, Regina would audibly gag and her face will completely flush. Sometimes she even growls in annoyance. Mom and Dad takes it as her sarcastic joking so they hardly know her true feelings.
"Oooo! Bacon!" I cheer out. As I past Regina, and towards the stove, I steal a piece from her plate. She growls as if there's anything she can do about it, I mean, I'm already eating it so. "I thought we were going for a run?"
"Oh I think I've burned enough calories for the day." She winks. Mom turns around to face me. She hands over my plate, giving a big smile.
"How are you feeling hun?" God why is everyone always asking me that!
"Great. I think the beach will keep my mind off of things." I inform as kindly as I could. That wasn't a great move I guess. The moment I sat next to Regina at the island, she gave me the coldest stare ever, sending my heart into a burning explosion. Just on cue mom squeals,
"The beach?! Count me in." I heavily sigh realizing what a huge mistake I just fucking made. Mom is totally going to get in the way of my beach sex.
"No mom, it's Saturday and there will be a whole bunch of teenagers." Regina's attempt to change mom's mind immediately fails. The older brunette shrugs and says,
"I'll just take Mary to the board walk and I'm sure if I tell Helga she'll come along as well with Dorothy." Mom is definitely sure of herself. There's no way she would change her mind.
"Zelena will hate you forever." Regina chuckles. Mom just waves off the accusation and proceeds to eat her food. All is quiet now. It makes me think about things that I don't want to think about.
Sometimes the silence encourages me to slip into that darkness. I don't know how I look when it happens but Regina always knows somehow. Just like she knows now. Soft fingers tickle along the skin of my knee, clearing my head to great lengths.
"Oh so mom, I was thinking..."Regina trails nervously, granting all of our attention. "So um, I know we have Snow now and I know providing for two high schoolers is alot so I was thinking that I take the two year program at community college first since its cheaper and that way you won't have to pay for me to live on campus and I can get a job to help around the house."
My heart thumps painfully with anxiety for Regina and myself. I know she's doing it for me. If mom agrees to this, Regina will always be here for my last two years of high school and then we can try to get into the same college together, and get an apartment after graduating! It was a plan we discussed last school year but neither of us had the courage to talk to our parents about it.
Mom's face twists in thought as she contemplates her answer. She gives a quick shrug and says, "I think its a great idea. It'll save so much money. Id just have to talk to your father about it." I can't believe it! She actually agreed. Regina pumps her fist in victory while I'm so desperately trying to fight my smile. This literally has to be the best moment of my life!
"I still cannot stand your friends." I mutter. Regina gives me a tight squeeze to my thigh and remains there while she keeps her eyes on the road. I love this feeling. This feeling of us being outside of the house and not necessarily having to hide or anything.
"Mal is your friend too right?" I shrug and mumble,
"I haven't talked to Mal since you screwed her." Regina huffs and pulls up to Ivy's house.
Ever since the huge school fight, everyone has made amends for my sake I guess. Regina and Mal are really good friends now; it took them a while, but they both cleared the air with parents present...and the school's counselor. Now when someone talks about it they joke and say, 'We were just young and stupid that's all'. And yes they were all young and stupid. I even acted more mature and I was only 14.
About Killian, Frederick, and Phillip; they were all investigated after the tape was played at school that one day. Nobody knows who did it to this day, but at least it helped Ivy seek justice.
The sound of Regina's trunk being closed, scared me back to reality: I'll be sitting in a car full of her side hoes. And just because that fact will always be true, I decided to pull out my phone at text Neal.
Neal: oh hey! It's so fucking hot today!
Me: yea I know! Come to the beach, everybody will be there
Neal: let me guess, Maui and Samdi?
Me: yup, what gave it away?
Neal: everyone, party, beach=Maui and Samdi
Me: just come dweeb it'll be fun
"Hey Em!" Ivy beams happily as she slides into the car. Inwardly I groan because I dont want to ruin this trip for anybody.
"Hey." I mutter with a forced soft voice.
"Omg you totally look hot! Let me guess Regina?" I playfully roll my eyes and can't help the smirk on my face.
As if Regina would let me wear this bathing suit. She cursed me out when I came back downstairs which isn't fair because she's totally showing off all of her glory. You can't really see her dick because she took a pill, so I'm sure every guy would drop to their knees for her. The black bikini looks hot on her.
"No, I do have a fashion sense now thank you very much." I scoff playfully.
"Aye! Swan is glowing up! It's about time chick!" Moana teases as she gets in as well. Finally, Regina gets back in and eyes me down with a lifted brow. That stare alone makes me feel so uneasy.
"What?" I question. Her lips twists into a frown but one that says she's not really that mad, she shakes her head, and starts the car up again.
"I just hope that I won't have to kill anyone before the day is over." Mo and Ivy laughs at the statement not really knowing the true meaning behind it. They, of course, think that Regina is just overprotective over her little sister. But I'm not her sister. I know that sometimes we argue and I say that she is just to hurt her feelings. Of course I never mean it.
"This is going to be a long day..." I mutter lowly. I can feel Regina's eyes on me as I stare out of the window.
"What does that mean?" Ivy chuckles. I shrug and look down at my phone once more. My screen lights up with Neal's face on it which starts Regina's consistent growling beside me.
"Hey!" I answer with a huge smile just to piss her off. Just beyond her sunglasses, I can see her rolling her eyes.
"Hey, I'm here already I was wondering if I should get us tickets for the boardwalk...if you're up for it." Neal nervously suggests.
"Y-yea of course, I'm down and I definitely know that Rubes and Lily will be too." I inform. Neal clears his throat before the sound of shuffling is heard.
"Oh I brought my little brother by the way too. My dad insisted so I had no choice."
"How old is he? Like three?" I question.
"Yup." He groans. "Gideon stop running off its not cool!"
I laugh and shift the phone to my other ear so maybe Regina could hear how sweet Neal truly is. She never took the time to get to know him. She just shrugs him off with any chance she gets. The only reason why she hates him is because we slept together a few times; there's no other reason.
"Problem solved. My mom is actually on her way there with my little sister Zelena's mom will be there too. I'm sure they won't mind taking Gideon." I inform.
"Really? Are you sure?" He questions letting out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Of course they love kids!"
"Great, thanks so much Swan you are the best."
"Why thank you my good friend. I'll see ya later."
I hang up the phone and give Regina the smug look that she totally expect. My secret girlfriend let's out a big huff and clenches her fingers a little tighter on the steering wheel.
"Change of plans...I'm definitely killing someone before the day is over." Oh boy...maybe you didn't think this through Swan. Dammit!
