Anyway, here is the story! I hope you like it!
"I told you, I didn't see anything. I was blindfolded", Neal explained to the female officer. Said officer shook her head and leaned back in her seat.
"You keep going making that up. I have all day", she said and Neal rolled his eyes leaning back in his own chair. He had been sitting in the interrogation room for almost an hour without anyone telling him anything. And now he and the female officer had been sitting and talking for almost half an hour.
"I am telling the—"
Neal was interrupted as the door opened and a smaller female officer stepped in with a phone in her hand.
"Ruby. It's Mills", she said and Ruby sighed before standing from her seat and taking the phone.
"Hey", she said into the phone as she walked towards her desk.
"Hey, is he saying anything?", Rex asked through the phone and the detective shook her head, then mentally slapped herself for doing so.
"No. He's just making up crap", she groaned as she sat down in her chair by her desk. She could hear her partner sigh.
"Alright. Well I'm in Boston for the weekend, so I make you in charge of the case. I trust you Ruby"
"Of course you do. Now how are Jane and Maura?", she asked and Rex chuckled at his partner. She was always up for some news and gossip.
"Well they are both fine I guess. Though Jane seems a little... Off"
Ruby furrowed her eyebrows.
"Off? How off?"
"I don't know. There's just something about her behavior. She's acting strange around me", he said and Ruby could hear the sadness I her partners voice.
"Talk to her. Ask her what's wrong. I doubt she would lie to you"
"Alright. You're right. I'll go talk to her. Thank you", he said and Ruby smiled to herself. She looked up to see lieutenant Gold waving her hand over for her.
"Of course. Anyway, I have to go, I'll call you if I find anything", she said before hanging up. Rex sighed and put his phone away. He looked up to see Angela smiling at him as she stood by the counter and served for the costumes. He smiled back and looked down at his half eaten pancakes and ate the rest. When he was done, he stood from his seat and took the dishes with him over to the counter.
"Hey ma, I'll go upstairs and say goodbye to Jane before I go home. I'll see you tonight at dinner?"
"Of course Rex. I'll see you tonight", Angela answered back and Rex kissed her cheek before walking over to the elevator. He waited for a couple of seconds before the doors opened and stepped inside. Once at the level he walked out of the elevator and inside the office only to stop by the door as Jane was speaking to the whole office about the Liam Jones case.
"And when Doctor Isles had found Daniel Colter's DNA under Liam Jones the seconds fingernail, we had prove enough to arrest mr. Colter, so detective Lucas, detective Mills, Doctor Isles and I drove to New York to get him arrested", Jane said and turned to see her love standing at the door.
"Good timing detective Mills", she said and the whole office followed the detective's eyes and turned to the man at the door. They suddenly started to clap and Rex couldn't help but smile and nod to some of them.
"Thank you for your help with the case", Jane said to him with much authority and Rex chuckled at his girlfriend.
"It was my pleasure detective", he said back and Jane grinned before turning back the other detective's and officers in the office.
"And then all the shooting and saving comes in, and I'll spare you the details. If you want the details, all you have to do, is ask detective Mills over there for a strip", she joked and the whole office laughed as they looked at the detective standing by the door. Rex chuckled as well and walked over to his girlfriend kissing her sweetly. The whole office was awe at the two lovebirds and Rex chuckled before turning to the other detective's and officers.
"You shouldn't really clap for me. You should clap for your detective here. She was the one saving my life, together with my niece", he said and Jane smiled at him before turning to the detective's officers.
"That was it people. Thank you for listening", she said and the whole office clapped for the detective.
"You did good", Rex said kissing her temple and Jane smiled at the kiss before catching his mouth with her own.
"Thank you. But what are you doing here? I thought you were eating breakfast in the cafeteria?", she asked as she packed the files and pictures away from the case.
"I did. I just came to say goodbye, I'll go back to the apartment, I need some sleep", he said and Jane furrowed her eyebrows as she walked to her desk putting the files away.
"Oh, is everything alright? You don't usually need sleep at this time of day"
"No, but I couldn't sleep last night, some things just got in my head", he said and Jane could now for the first time actually see how tired her boyfriend was.
"Oh, is it something you wanna talk about?", she asked gently taking his hand. Rex smiled but shook his head.
"I'm not sure it's something I should say to anyone", he said and Jane smiled sadly and nodded in understanding.
"Alright, but you know I'm here", she said and walked forward and brought her arms around his waist.
"I know. And I'm very thankful for that", he whispered and Jane smiled and leaned up kissing him gently.
"Alright lovebirds, there are others who would like to do their work without watching porn in the meantime", Korsak said and Rex chuckled while Jane turned around and eyed the elder detective with deadly eyes.
"Then I guess you should stick your eyes to the paper Korsak"
Korsak chuckled and shook his head playfully as he turned back to his paperwork.
"Alright, I'm gonna go. You have lots of paperwork and somebody obviously don't want me here", Rex said nodding toward Korsak and Jane couldn't help but chuckle at her boyfriend.
"Alright. I'll see you later at home then", she said leaning in and kissing him one last time. Rex smiled and kissed her back before walking out of the office.
"Yes. No he's in Boston. Jane called him and asked him to come. I think it was important", Regina said into the phone as she sat in the living room and watched tv in Rex house, while Zelena and Emma stood and made some lunch.
"I hope so, but don't get so worried mother, it's Rex we're talking about"
She turned to see Emma looking back at her and the girl quickly turned back to the food, making Regina raise her eyebrow at her daughter.
"She's doing great. She and Zelena is making lunch at the moment. Me? I'm just sitting and doing nothing. According to your granddaughter, I'm not supposed to be in the kitchen when she and Zelena are cooking", she said obviously making fun of Emma's demand.
"You aren't!", she heard her daughter yell and she chuckled together with Zelena.
"Anyways, how are my two boys?"
"And then you can take the salt and the pepper", Zelena said to Emma and the girl did the technic Regina had taught her. Zelena stood in silence as she watched her niece in awe. Having Emma back in her life was making it so much easier being alive. She had missed the girl for so many years and seeing her again now all grown up, made her regret not taking more care of Emma than she did when she was little.
"How are you doing? After yesterday?", she asked breaking the silence and Emma turned to her with big vulnerable eyes, and Zelena knew she could break in that moment. She could easily see the five year old girl in the now sixteen year old's eyes.
"I'm okay", was all Emma offered in return and Zelena figured it was all she gonna get for now. So she let it be and turned back to the food.
Soon the food was done and the three women sat by the table and ate in silence for the first couple of minutes before Zelena broke it.
"How are the boys?"
"They are doing good. Mother told me that they had been doing nothing else than going to the park. She's starting to believe that Dustin might be a wild child", she said chuckling and Zelena frowned at her sister and turned to see Emma just as confused. Regina noticed the silence and stopped her chuckling looking up and meeting two frowning faces.
"What?"
"A wild child? Seriously?", Zelena asked and it was Regina's turn to frown.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?"
"I'm not saying I know your son better than you do Gina, but Dustin is anything, but a wild child. He's always so calm about everything"
"Of course he is, he's blind!", Regina argued back, suddenly angry and both Zelena and Emma frowned at the woman.
"Gina?", Emma called her out and Regina shook her head before standing from the table.
"I'm not that hungry", she said before walking upstairs leaving Emma and Zelena even more worried.
"What was that?", Zelena asked almost to herself, knowing Emma wouldn't know anything about out it either.
"I don't know", the girl answered anyway and Zelena stood from her seat.
"Can you please put the food in some boxes? I don't want to waste it. I'll go talk to her", she said and Emma nodded and did as she was told. Zelena smiled at her and walked upstairs, finding Regina and Emma's bedroom door open. She looked inside and saw Regina laying in the bed, her legs hanging at the edge of the bed. She sighed and walked in closing the door behind her.
"There's nothing to talk about", Regina said knowing it was Zelena. The redhead rolled her eyes before walking over to the bed sitting down beside her sister.
"That's bullshit Regina, and you know it. That little stunt wasn't just 'nothing'. Something is upsetting you"
Regina groaned as she stood from the bed and began pacing back and forth.
"I'm just... Ugh! I'm stressed out! I don't know what to do!"
Zelena could see tears forming in her sisters eyes and she truly now started to get worried.
"About what? What's going on?"
"About Emma! About Rex! About everything! I feel sick all the time! I threw up three times this morning!", she yelled out at nothing and Zelena sighed and brought her hands to her head for a moment before calmly looking at her sister with a knowing look.
"Gina, when was your last period?"
Regina stopped her pacing and eyed her sister for a moment before pacing once again.
"Regina. When was your last period?"
The brunette didn't answer as she kept pacing and Zelena groaned and stood from the bed.
"REGINA!"
"I DON'T KNOW! Okay? I don't know, damn it!"
Zelena sighed and blinked her eyes as she took a deep breath.
"Is it Emma's?", she asked calmly and Regina stopped her pacing and it was enough for the redhead.
"You don't know"
Regina let a tear fall and soon felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to her sister who had her arms ready and she fell into the hug as she cried.
"It's okay", Zelena whispered, but Regina shook her head.
"No it's not. If it's Emma's, it means I go to jail", she said through her cries. And Zelena furrowed her eyebrows.
"How? No one knows you and Emma have—"
"No, but the moment the government knows I'm pregnant they will suspect Emma to be the other mother. And when they do that, they will demand me getting a DNA test"
Zelena sighed and hugged her sister tight. She was in trouble now. Truly.
"I'll go to the store and buy a test. In the meantime you will go down and talk to Emma. Let her know how much you love her and all of that love crap", she finished and Regina couldn't stop herself from chuckling. Zelena kissed her forehead before walking out of the room.
"Come on. I'll just tell Emma that we need groceries", she said standing in the doorway and Regina nodded before walking pass her and down the stairs meeting Emma in the living room.
"Hey", the girl said and Regina smiled at her daughter. Said daughter stood from the couch and walked over to her mother and brought her arms around her.
"Are you alright?"
Regina nodded and Emma could feel the woman hugging her tighter.
"It's okay"
Regina nodded once again and pulled back from the hug to look at the blonde. She was growing every single day now. Regina had noticed. And a part of her didn't know what to say about it. As a mother, it was always hard seeing your children grow up. But as a girlfriend, she didn't really know what to think about it.
"You're getting taller", she whispered looking at the girl with loving eyes. Emma smiled looking back into the woman's eyes. Regina leaned down bringing her lips to the girls and Emma happily kissed the woman back.
"Alright guys, I'm gonna—", Zelena stopped mid sentence as she saw her sister and niece's interaction. She smiled and decided to just leave the couple alone. God knows they needed the time.
Jane walked inside her apartment and saw Rex standing in the kitchen.
"Hey", he greeted her and Jane smiled at him and walked over bringing her arms around his waist as he cut the vegetables.
"Are you alright?", he asked gently as he felt a kiss to his shoulder. Jane smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything else.
"Your mom called and asked for us to bring some vegetables"
"Alright. Do you need any help?"
"No don't worry, I got this. You can just go change", he answered and Jane nodded before looking up at him.
"Hey", she called him out and Rex turned to her with big eyes.
"Hm?"
He felt lips on his own and he smiled into the kiss as he kissed her back. God had he missed her. He let go of the knife and brought his hands to the woman's neck bringing her closer. Jane could feel her boyfriends excitement in seeing her again, but she knew they didn't have time for anything, so she pulled back before they came too far. She heard Rex pout and she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't be so sad. I'll make up to you tonight", she said and winked at him before walking inside her bedroom. Rex sighed and looked down at his pants, already seeing his member ready to work.
"Sorry champ. Has to be later", he said and turned back to cut the vegetables.
"Please don't tell me you didn't just talk to your penis", Jane said as she walked out of the bedroom in her underwear, and Rex' mouth fell open, his eyes wide as he eyed his girlfriend.
"What?", Jane asked innocently and Rex frowned for a moment before eyeing his girlfriend with an evil glare.
"You're evil", he said and Jane laughed as she walked over to her boyfriend and kissed his cheek before walking back inside her bedroom. After a couple of minutes, Rex was done with the vegetables and had put them in boxes, ready to go. He cleaned the dishes and the counter before walking into the bedroom seeing his girlfriend stressing with all of her clothes.
"Need any help?", he asked gently and Jane turned to him with a pleading look. Rex chuckled and walked over to her kissing her temple before turning to the closet.
"What about this black dress. Black has always made you look good. Fierce", he said pulling out a long black dress. Jane eyed it for a moment before sighing and nodding.
"You're my hero", she said and kissed him before taking the dress and putting it on. Rex smiled and walked over to his suitcase on the floor and pulled out a dark blue shirt. He took off his t-shirt, letting his body become bare. He turned around and threw his t-shirt in the suitcase. He turned around was met by Jane standing in front of him with watery eyes.
"What's going on?", he asked worried, but all Jane did was turn him around and gently caressing her finger over his gunshot wound. Rex sighed as he felt the warm fingers on his body. He didn't feel pain anymore, but sometimes it was just hard to use his arm.
"Thank you", Jane whispered and Rex turned back to her and smiled sadly.
"Anything for you my love"
And he truly meant it. He may have had a hard time having her around when they met at the crime scene in New York, but he always loved her and he would take a bullet for her over and over again, if it meant saving her life.
Emma and Regina laid in the sofa, Emma on top of the brunette, with her head on the woman's shoulder, her face buried in her neck and deep in thought. She considered telling Regina about her situation in jail, but she didn't know how the older woman would take it. Would she hate her for lying to her? Would she tell that it was disgusting and walk out? Emma of course, hoped that none of those things would happen and she would simply be supportive and be there for here, just like Zelena was.
"You're thinking too hard, dear", Regina said breaking the girls train of thoughts. Said girl pulled back from the neck and looked up at her girlfriend. She moved upwards, so she was face to face with her love and without another word, she leaned in and brought their mouths together in a sweet yet needy kiss. Regina could feel the want her girlfriend felt for her, and she couldn't help but kiss her back with much as want. But she knew her girlfriend wasn't in the best mood right now, so she pulled back and looked at her.
"What's going on?", she asked and Emma felt a lump in her throat.
"Honey?"
Emma looked down and took a deep breath and Regina could hear the shaking in the blondes voice. She brought her arms around her girlfriend's waist and pulled closer.
"It's alright baby. You can tell me anything, you know that right?", she asked and Emma nodded without hesitation. She smiled and they laid for a couple of minutes before Emma broke the silence.
"I-I... I was... I was—"
"Hey hey, take it easy. Take a deep breath", Regina interrupted her when she noticed her girlfriend struggling with her speaking. She brought her hand to her cheek and caressed it gently.
"Now tell me what's going on. And you don't have to rush it out", she said once the girl had calmed down. Said girl nodded and looked up at the woman in front of her before taking a deep shaking breath.
"When I was jail... I uhm... I was... There was this girl...", she started and Regina nodded at her encouragingly.
"One night, she f-followed me into the-the shower and... She... She-she wanted me to... To... She forced me, a-and I couldn't get out", she finished tears streaming down her face. Regina laid with her mouth half open and in complete shock. She understood that this had been hard on Emma's part to come out with and she was utterly proud of her for telling her. But what could she say? She didn't know what to say to her. Neither as a girlfriend nor as a mother. She instantly thought back to her own mother and easily remembered the day she had told them who Zelena's father was. She forced the thoughts to the back of her mind for her next conversation with her mother. She turned back to Emma who laid and looked at her with a scared look.
"Are you angry?", the girl suddenly asked and that brought Regina fully back from her thoughts.
"What? No honey, I'm not angry. Why would I be angry at you?"
Emma swallowed a lump and looked down.
"I lied to you... About you be-being my first", she said in a low voice, and Regina sighed and brought her arms around her daughter and girlfriend.
"I'm not angry honey. Don't you worry about that. And I do not look at you any different. You are still Emma. My beautiful girlfriend. And even if we don't want to admit it, my beautiful daughter. I could never be angry at you for such a thing. I love you, don't you ever forget that", she said and Emma nodded not trusting her voice at the moment. She laid back down at her mothers shoulder and felt her eyes closing slowly. She was feeling utterly tired now and soon enough she was sleeping peacefully in her mothers arms. God knows she needs her mother with her in this time.
A couple of minutes of laying in the couch and hearing her daughter snoring slightly, Regina heard the front door open calmly. She turned to her daughter, making sure she was still sleeping before gently trying to stand from the couch without waking her up. After a couple of seconds, she succeeded and she walked over to see Zelena standing with a bag of groceries.
"Hey, where's my beautiful niece?", the redhead asked with a smirk and Regina smiled at her as she walked over to the barstool and sat down.
"She's sleeping on the couch", she answered and Zelena noticed the sad face on her sisters and furrowed her eyebrows.
"What's going on?"
Regina looked up at her sister and sighed.
"Emma told me. About what happened in jail", she said and Zelena stopped putting the groceries away and gave her sister her full attention.
"And I guess by your reaction that, that was what you were talking about yesterday", Regina said and Zelena nodded taking her sisters hand.
"How are you feeling?", she asked and Regina shrugged.
"Like you've just been told your daughter has been raped", she said letting a tear fall. Zelena sighed and walked over to her and brought her in for a hug. Just then, Regina let her many other tears fall as well and soon she was crying in her sisters arms.
"You know it's not your fault right?", Zelena said, but Regina didn't answer. She felt like a bad mother. She couldn't even protect her own daughter.
"Regina"
The brunette could hear the sternness in her sisters voice and pulled back to look up at her.
"I feel like I failed her", she choked out Zelena brought her hands to her sisters shoulder, forcing the younger woman to look at her.
"Regina. This is not your fault. It happened before you adopted her and don't you ever criticize yourself as a mother. You're the most amazing mother and all of your three children loves you dearly. You haven't failed any of them and definitely not Emma. You have brought so much joy and happiness into Emma's life and I can see how thankful she is for that. Do you understand?", she finished and Regina nodded not trusting her voice. She let out another cry and soon she was crying hard in her sisters arms once again. After a couple of minutes the brunette stopped crying and now they were just enjoying the comfort in each other. But after a couple of minutes the redhead broke the silence but trapping something from the grocery bag.
"I have the test"
