As Emma finished her hunt, she wiped her mouth free of blood as her fangs retracted.

She ran back to her own home so she could change into something she wasn't wearing while running through the forest to drink blood.

Once dressed, she turned into a bat so she could make it across town without making a scene.

Normally, Emma had no problem simply running over to her girlfriend's house using her speed. She would usually go at night, so hardly anyone would be out to see it. And if anyone did catch a blur of her running, they would assume it was a trick of the lighting or something.

But tonight, people were out partying on the streets. So Emma wouldn't be able to get away with it tonight.

So instead, she flew across town as a bat.

Once she arrived at Regina's house, she transformed back before knocking on the door. When the door swung open, Regina quickly wrapped her arms around her before bringing their lips together.

As Emma started to moan into the kiss, Regina pulled back.

"I know blood is the only thing you can consume, but can't there be like a vampire mouth wash? You still have a lot of blood in your mouth,"

Emma sighed,

"Sorry,"

Regina chuckled, then gave her a closed-mouth kiss.

"I guess I'll just have to get used to it,"

Emma took a step back,

"Get used to it, as in kissing me after a hunt? Or something else?"

"I'm not sure what else there could be, dear,"

Emma opened her mouth, but she stopped herself when she saw the twinkling glow in her girlfriend's eyes.

Instead, she shrugged off her suspicions before joining her on the couch.

Regina turned the lights off, then turned the TV on. As a random movie started playing, she raised an eyebrow at Emma. She then sat closer to her before placing a soft kiss on her neck.

As Emma realized what was happening, a smirk grew on her face.

They wouldn't be watching that movie tonight.

The next day, Robin drove over to her aunt's house after Emma left. Ever since Zelena gave her a car for her birthday a few days before, she had taken the liberty to drive pretty much everywhere.

"Aunt Regina!" She called, knocking on the front door.

Luckily, Regina heard her and answered straight away.

"Robin, what are you doing here?"

She hadn't texted her to inform her that she was coming over.

"I was wondering if we could get ice cream together, then you give me some relationship advice because Alice and I have our first date tomorrow; AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO!"

Regina let out a chortle, then went to get herself ready.

"Sure," she said, nodding.

Robin let out a sigh of relief, then waited while her aunt got ready.

Once she walked back to the front door, the two of them made their way to Robin's car where she drove them to the ice cream shop.

As soon as they got their ice cream and sat down, Robin took no time to start asking questions.

"So you've been in a relationship for seven months now, and it seems to be going well. So how do you do it? Alice and I have hung out before, but I'm not sure how to make our date any different from when we were just hanging out as friends,"

"Well," Regina began, unsure what quite to tell her. "I suppose the best advice I can give you, is to think about what you would like to see on the date. Once you have that answer, make it happen."

Robin thought about it for a minute, then smiled when she imagined their date.

"How are things between you and Emma by the way?" She asked curiously.

Regina hesitated. She was about to tell her that everything was fine, but Robin recognized her look.

"What's happening?" She asked.

"It's nothing you would understand,"

Well at least that technically wasn't a lie.

"Try me," Robin challenged.

"You're a child, you wouldn't understand,"

"I'm not a child. I'll be an adult in less than a year now. So what's going on?"

Regina let out a sigh. She couldn't exactly tell Robin everything on her mind, but she could probably do it while leaving out the vampire bits.

"Alright," she agreed. "Emma is different. I don't mean that in a way anyone describes their significant other, I mean that in a way that she is literally different from everyone else. And we can still be in a relationship while she's this way and I'm not, but it won't work out long term. She doesn't seem too worried about it, but it's been on my mind lately,"

"Is there any way she can change then?"

"No, there isn't. It is possible for me to be like her, but I would have to give up apart of who I am."

"How exactly is she different? Is it like a religious thing?" Robin asked as her eyes widened. "Is she in a cult?!"

"No," Regina replied, chuckling. "It's not like that. I can't really explain the details of it, but it's something that has been a big deal in our relationship,"

"Oh... well do you want to be like her?"

Regina thought for a minute,

"Yes," she replied honestly. "I do."

"Well then problem solved,"

"Not exactly. I don't think Emma would want me to be like her. It's something that changed her life forever, and I'm not sure if she wants that for me. If her and I weren't together, I would want to stay how I am; but since we are, I think I want to be like her,"

"Have you talked to her about it?"

"No,"

"Well you should talk to her about it then,"

Regina took in a deep breath. Her niece was right.

At the same time, she wasn't sure how Emma would reply, but it was still something that Regina needed to talk to her about.

As the two of them finished, Regina got her phone out to text her girlfriend.

Regina: Are you coming over tonight?

My Savior: sure. do you wanna watch a movie like we did last night, or actually watch a movie for real? i'm fine with either

Regina: Actually, I was hoping we could talk.

My Savior: alrighty then

Now that that was out of the way, all she had to do was prepare herself.

Later that night, as expected, Emma came right over.

"So what did you want to talk about?" She asked. "And no, I don't have any blood in my mouth tonight,"

Regina chortled, then leaned over to kiss her girlfriend. She took her hand, then led her to the living room. From there, they sat down across from each other.

Regina wasn't quite sure how to get right to the point, so she just decided to start with the general topic.

"Do you ever wish you weren't turned?"

Emma raised her eyebrows,

"I wasn't really expecting that question, but okay," she said, thinking about it. "I used to. I was really angry with Mary Margaret for the first decade. I knew she only did it to save my life, but that didn't change the fact that she took away any chance I had at growing up completely and living a normal life,"

"What changed then?"

"I realized it was kinda nice to basically have superpowers. Sometimes I am still bitter that I can't eat though, because I really loved food,"

"If you could go back to 1912, and live a normal human life, would you?"

"No," she replied, laughing. "I would end up out-aging my parents, plus I would've spent my whole life constantly shamed for liking girls. It's a lot better here. And being immortal does have its perks,"

Regina took a deep breath in. It was now or never,

"Would you ever turn anyone else into a vampire?"

"Why do you ask-" she started, but stopped herself as the realization hit her. "Oh..."

Regina scooted closer to her, then placed another kiss on her lips.

"Y-you want me to turn you?" Emma asked, positioning herself away from her. As much as she loved kissing her girlfriend, she wanted to talk about this.

Instead of replying, Regina simply nodded. She tossed her hair over her shoulders, then pulled down on the collar of her shirt, exposing her neck.

She tilted her head to the side, then wrapped her arms around Emma. She leaned over so her mouth was right by her ear.

"Bite me,"

Acting on impulse, Emma turned her head so she could place her lips on her girlfriend's neck.

She allowed her heightened senses to take over, smelling the blood flowing through her.

Almost instantly, her fangs came out.

All she had to do was bite.

She stepped back, taking a glance at Regina.

"Bite me," she repeated.

So Emma leaned in again, pressing her mouth against her neck.

Just as she opened her mouth to bite against her skin, rational thoughts finally started flowing through her head.

"No," she said, stepping back completely. "I'm not going to change you,"

At this point, Regina had tears pooling up in her eyes.

Emma took in a deep breath as she felt her fangs retract.

"I'm not going to change you," she repeated. "I can't do it,"

"I want you to change me, Emma."

"I know you think you do, but you might end up resenting me the way I resented Mary Margaret for 10 years,"

"No I won't. You didn't choose to be a vampire. But I am; I want to be like you,"

"Vampires are always hunted by witches. You'll be in a lot of danger if I turn you,"

"So? I can take the risk. Besides, I trust you,"

"You don't get it, their magic could kill you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something bad happened to you,"

"I'm already four years older than you. What's gonna happen when I'm 30 and you're still 18?"

"I don't know, but we'll figure something out,"

"I already have. Turn me into a vampire,"

"I'm sorry, Regina, but I can't; not yet,"

"When then?"

"I'm not sure,"

Regina let out a disappointed sigh.

She didn't get what she wanted, but there was some good news too.

Eventually, no one knew when; but eventually, Emma would turn her.
