Retrospective
Chapter 28
Emma had always hated town meetings, but the one they were having right now was even worse than usual. Most citizens were upset with the addition of an alive Maleficent in Storybrooke. Honestly the savior didn't want to hear it, but her father said it was necessary to get people to change their minds about it.
"After all the havoc she's reeked we're supposed to just trust her?" Mother superior questioned the mayor.
Regina cleared her throat and spoke with confidence. "Her magic is hindered for the time being." She revealed to the crowd. "I won't say you all don't have your reasons for not trusting her, but need I remind everyone that this is what you all wanted. You wanted the border to be one sided. We're trying to make that happen."
The sheriff could tell her the judgmental crowd was irritating wife. "We have the situation under control." She added.
"Can you guarantee our safety?" Mrs. Gallagher asked the council.
Ariel spoke up before anyone else could, "Emma and Regina have always steered this town in the right direction, no matter the danger. I believe they're taking the right precautions to prevent any mishaps with Maleficent."
"You're talking about her like she's an unruly animal." The former queen interrupted the redhead. She was thankful the schoolteacher spoke up in the dragon's defense, but she didn't want people to think she wasn't human. "Mal will help us with this. As Ariel stated, we are taking the proper precautions. Her magic is contained, but we won't treat her as a prisoner while she's helping us."
"So you're just going to let her roam around town with the rest of us?" Mother superior demanded to know. "She's-"
"She's what, Blue?" The savior cut her off. "She's human."
Leroy scoffed from the crowd. "She's an evil witch, lady." He spoke out.
Regina banged her gavel down. "That's enough." She told everyone firmly. "This decision will be made amongst the council. Thank everyone for their input, but it's not your decision." She cleared her throat. "All those in favor of letting Maleficent roam free?"
Granny raised her hand from the other end of the table. "That device will be on her wrist the whole time?"
The mayor nodded her head. "She will be without her magic. So, shall we vote?"
Maleficent was at the mansion with her own personal babysitter. It was the pirate Emma deemed to be fun and irresponsible, but all she was seeing was a doting man fawning all over a toddler.
"You're her best friend. Correct?" The blonde questioned him.
Hook was currently on the carpet with Charlie, playing with some toy trucks. He glanced over at the sexy witch before nodding. "If you mean Emma then yes."
Maleficent licked her lips and leaned back against the couch. "Aren't you the one who betrayed Regina for her mother?"
Killian shrugged. "The broad was a good lay." He justified.
The dragon shook her head with a dry chuckle. Men would always be men. "The Regina I knew would have ripped your heart out without blinking for your betrayal, not let you around her children."
"The Regina you knew has gone soft." He informed her. "She's got the fire still, but not the darkness. Although, I must give her credit. She did kill her mother and sister."
Blue eyes widened at that information. "Cora's dead?" She shook her head. "No. Better question: Regina had a sibling?" Her mind was reeling.
Hook chuckled. "Sounds like you have some catching up to do, at least on her side. I can't imagine being a dragon for thirty years gave you many thrilling tales."
Maleficent huffed. "That's an understatement." She cited before clearing her throat. "So Regina's father had a bastard, did he? I must say I didn't peg him as the cheating type."
Killian smirked at the woman. "Oh no it wasn't Henry's child."
The witch grew intrigued. "It was Cora's?" She laughed. "Well her stepping out I can very much believe."
"She was a piece of work, wasn't she?" The pirate questioned.
Maleficent looked to her side and spotted a picture of Emma grinning widely at her unamused spouse. Both were soaked head to toe and while Regina was scowling at her true love, the dragon could still see the affection in her eyes. She lifted up the photo and looked over it. "Did the savior meet her mother-in-law? If not I consider her lucky."
Hook smiled at Charlie as he walked over to where Chief was laying down and crawled all over him. The brunette stood up and walked over to sit next to the town guest. "They met." He chuckled as he thought about something. "Emma tried to explain to Cora that she was raising a son with her daughter."
The blonde was amused. "I bet that went over swimmingly." She looked to the man and caught the striking blue eyes looking back at her.
He was handsome. That much was obvious. The witch hadn't been with anyone in too long of time. She wasn't much for pirates, but his scruffy defined face was appealing to her… lower region. She could picture that dark hair between her legs.
Killian caught the growing look of lust in the woman's eyes. He felt a stir within himself and had to look away to clear his throat. "Cora was one of a kind evil." He changed the subject.
"Aren't you?" The dragon questioned him, forcing her mind back to their conversation. "Don't tell me working for Cora didn't make you get your hands dirty."
Hook shook his head from side to side. "I suppose you could say I was evil. Once upon a time."
"What changed that? And don't give me the bullshit 'true love' Regina did. I know you're single." Maleficent wiggled her eyebrows at him.
The pirate grinned and unscrewed the lid on his flask to drink some rum. "Don't make so sound so lonely. I'm recently single."
"Oh!" The witch smiled back. "A bleeding heart." She could see the tinge of pain in the light eyes before her. To spare his feelings she licked her lips and asked, "So tell me lover boy. What made you into a gallant hero? And share the joy." She reached for the flask and took a long gulp.
Hook shrugged. "The town really." He revealed. "Being evil… it gets… lonely."
"Agreed." Mal spoke and handed the flask back. "I can't even remember the last time I ever loved someone. Not the way Regina loves that sheriff of hers."
"Well true love is hard to come by." The man pointed out and took a sip of his rum before passing it.
The dragon nodded. "Yes it is." She watched as the little toddle slowly walked over to the pirate and hand him a toy. She smiled when the man acted excited at the pointless gift. "Do you have any of your own?" She wondered. It was a fair question.
Killian shook his head sadly. "Not yet, just this handsome lad as my Godson here. Henry as well."
"Well drinking in the middle of the day while you babysit is surely the way to proper fatherhood." The blonde teased.
The pirate rolled his eyes with a smile. "I'm more for the unconventional type of parenting." He defended himself and the two shared a laugh just as the front door opened and closed.
"He's nothing but a loud mouth alcoholic, dear." Regina explained calmly to her wife as the savior fumed.
Emma shook off her red leather and hung it up on the hook. "Well he needs to be a shut-mouth alcoholic. He has no right to talk shit all day about things he knows nothing about! He flat out said that he thought I was being swayed in my choice to let Maleficent out of jail. Why aren't you angry? He basically said you were manipulating me!"
It became apparent to the duo on the couch that the two women had no idea they were listening.
The mayor rubbed her forehead. "Trust me when I say I hate him much more then you do, but we got our way. Mal is free to walk around the town-"
"And people are free to harass her. Leroy will too! You know he will. He did it to me when I first arrived and that's when he just thought I was just an annoying blonde who came to ruffle the mayor's feathers!" Boy was Emma heated. "I mean it's like people in this town have never heard of a second chance before!"
Maleficent was a little touched at how the savior was defending her. The big heart of the younger woman was probably why he friend fell for her. She knew the former Evil Queen had a thing for bleeding souls. "Second chances weren't too common in our world."
The couple turned their heads at the words spoken to them, just then realizing they'd been overheard. Regina cleared her throat and walked past her wife towards the living room where her son was squealing his happiness to see her. "Hey handsome."
"Moam-ey!" He giggled and hugged her tight.
"So the verdict was in our favor then, yes?" Killian questioned his boss.
Emma nodded. "After a little debate." She pointed at the former prisoner. "You're allowed to go out and about the town." Green eyes moved to where her lover was kissing all over their youngest child. Not one to be left out, she stole Charlie from her true love's arms. "There's the cutest blonde boy alive!" She tossed him up in the air, erupting a laugh from the happy toddler.
The mayor gasped and then glared at her wife. "I told you I didn't like that."
"And I told you to get over it." Emma said with a grin and gave raspberries to the boy's stomach.
Killian cleared his throat and stood up. "Shall we celebrate the good news then?" He asked the ladies. "A trip to the Rabbit Hole for a round of drinks? Then we can really have some fun." He smirked.
Maleficent liked the sound of fun. She desperately needed some. "I, for one, could use several."
The mayor caught the look of lust between the man and woman. She cleared her throat and shook her head, wanting no part of that. "You two have fun. I have a budget estimate to type up."
Blue eyes rolled as Mal let out a long groan. "Oh you're such a bore now, Regina! Honestly with your children and townly duties. You didn't even work this much when you were queen."
"You should go, baby." Emma spoke up as she craned Charlie back to the ground and petted her attention whore dogs when they rubbed against her legs. "Catch up and all that. Have some fun. Me and Hook will stay back and watch the boys." She offered.
"It was my bloody idea!" The pirate objected.
The couple ignored his displeasure. "If I don't get these budget estimates done I'll be behind on paperwork." Regina said as if it was a horror story of sorts. "It will throw my whole week off more than it already will be with the border spell coming up."
Emma shrugged. "I'll need at least another week to get everything prepared for tearing down the existing border." She told her spouse. "Me and Killian will be doing that all week because no one can cross the town line and witness the yellow fairy nurse at the hospital heal people with pixie dust." She took a step towards her stressed wife. "You can go tonight. Not making excuses."
"You won't be able to convince her, dear." Maleficent told the savior with a smirk. "She's too worried she can't keep up with me anymore."
Regina could never turn down a challenge, especially when it came from her smug old friend. "Just let me go change." She told the witch before turning to her true love. "But if I'm going to let loose and have fun, so are you."
The deal sounded sweet the sheriff's ears but, "The boys." She reminded the brunette. "Who will watch them?"
"Henry's fourteen. He can put his brother to bed when he gets home." The mayor shrugged and wrapped her arms around the younger woman's neck, bringing their lips close. "Come on, honey. Let's both teach Maleficent what the bar scene looks like in this world."
Killian and Emma watched on as the two witches headed to the women's restroom together. Maleficent borrowed a dark purple dress from the mayor while Regina opted for a strapless silver dress and fuck me heels.
The pirate smacked his lips together. "Damn that's a fine ass on the dragon."
All four adults had four drinks each, but the man admitted to pre-gaming with his flask of rum before they arrived. Regardless, it seemed they were all equally drunk.
"That's a fine ass on my wife." Emma corrected with a small slur and took another long drag of her near scotch. "So how are things with you, bro? You over Tinkerbelle yet? Because I got to tell you that she was kinda a drag."
Hook chuckled. His best friend was always rather honest when she was drunk. "I'm getting there." He told her honestly. He couldn't say he was completely over his ex, but she didn't want him and recently he started to feel like he didn't necessarily want her either. "Hopefully I can get under Regina's friend to help me out." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
The sheriff grinned, amused. "If you're going to bang her, at least be on top at the beginning." She told him. "Don't make her do all the work."
"Figure of speech, Swan!" Killian exclaimed. "You and I both know I'm a doggy guy."
Emma busted out laughing at the inappropriate, but very true statement. "My classy best friend, ladies." Green eyes rolled playfully.
Killian scoffed with a smile of his own. "You have no room to act high and mighty with me, Swan!" He declared. "You're the one who took a two hour break last week to go screw the mayor in the cruiser."
The sheriff thought back to the delightful memory. "Hell yes I did! That was great. That needs to happen now!" She stumbled a little before standing up. "That's what I'm going to do! Gotta find Gina."
"Bathroom, love." The pirate informed her. "She went to the ladies room."
Emma chugged the rest of her drink and headed there. "Thanks."
Regina was re-applying the lipstick her wife had smeared and removed with her mouth. Meanwhile, Maleficent was sitting on top of the counter, head turned to fix her hair in the mirror.
"That true love of yours gets a little frisky." The blonde mused aloud.
The mayor huffed a laugh. "She does that when she's drunk."
Maleficent nodded. "Yes, she is rather plastered tonight. Hook too. You know, for a pirate he's oddly a lightweight."
"Don't even tell me you think he's appealing." Regina told her old friend.
The dragon smirked and shrugged. "I might."
Brown eyes rolled. "He's a handless police officer."
"Well it's not like I'd want anything but sex from him." Maleficent pointed out. "But that's a bit hypocritical of you to say. You're married to an officer."
Regina scoffed. "No. I'm married to the officer. Emma's the sheriff."
The blonde laughed. "I'm sure she has you to thank for that promotion."
"Actually the town elected her by popular vote and I didn't even vote for her." The mayor revealed. "This all happened before the curse broke." She explained. "I hated her then. She drove me crazy." Her heart warmed a little at the faint memory. Things were strikingly different now, but yet still the same. The savior still drove her absolutely insane sometimes, but she also made her unbelievably happy as well. "Still does."
Maleficent gave her friend a soft smile. "I'm glad you found your happiness, Regina. I truly am." She was a tad envious too, but she decided to leave that part out.
Before the brunette had a chance to respond to the kind statement, her wife burst through the restroom door and pointed at finger at her. "You!" She pointed that finger at her own chest then. "You and me are having sex." She declared.
The dragon raised an eyebrow, highly entertained. "A woman who knows what she wants!"
Emma smirked and approached her spouse, her itching hands ready to grab that plump ass she knew was waiting for her. "Handy-cap stall, baby. Let's go." She clapped her hands together.
Her wrist was grabbed, but Regina wasn't about to budge. She rolled her dark eyes playfully at her inebriated true love. "We can't do that, dear."
The sheriff pouted. "Come on. We did it in the cruiser last week and you enjoyed it then. Remember how good it felt when I ate you out in the backseat?"
Regina felt embarrassed having her sex life on display in front of her old friend. She wasn't normally shy about the intimate details of her relationship, but her buzz had her flustered.
"Well if you don't have sex with her, I'm willing to." Maleficent smirked.
Dark eyes sent daggers to the older blonde. "Don't even think about it."
Emma was grinning from ear to ear. "I have suitors, Madam Mayor! Better take the offer while it's still good."
Regina scoffed and lightly patted her wife's face. "I'm not nearly drunk or horny enough to have sex like one of your old common whores. Talk with me after a few more rounds."
Emma gripped the brunette's face and pinned her against the stall door. "God this dress is fucking sexy." She growled and buried her face in the exposed cleavage before her.
The mayor felt the warmth of liquor coursing through her veins and settling in a tingle between her legs. "You're so fucking sexy." She ran her nails through golden hair and bit her lip to keep from moaning as her wife kissed and licked all over her protruding chest. She felt greedy hands running up and down her thighs, bringing the dress with them.
"I've missed these, baby." The savior confessed. "Breast feeding was a bitch." She said honestly before moving her hands up to pull the dress down at the top. Dark hardened nipples displayed to her like a holiday treat, and she planned to very much take advantage of it.
Regina smirked through her drunk state and gasped when she felt the flat pad of her lover's tongue move over her aerola. "Mmm." She strangled out a moan and hitched one of her thighs up to hook around the younger woman's leg. "Fuck me." She breathed out.
The sheriff had always declared herself as a tit kind of lesbian, and she had been away from them for a long time- too long. However, as much as she wanted to spend hours torturing those breasts and other parts of the mayor's body, she knew they only had time for a quick fuck. "I'm so going to worship you all night long when we get home." She told her spouse as one of her hands slipped underneath the hem of the dress and slowly teased the woman with gentle stroking of the wet panties she felt.
The former queen licked her lips and pulled the fist full of blonde hair in her hand back until green eyes met her. "The faster you make me come, the faster we can get home." She told her before smashing their lips together and biting an unexpecting bottom lip.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Emma mumbled through her the kiss before shoving her tongue down her wife's throat and slipping her hand under lace, meeting silk wetness.
