After that night I think it was obvious to everyone, even Neal, that something had changed between me and Regina, I couldn't tell what it was at first, but I knew that I was even more drawn to Regina, after that night, I couldn't keep away from her, even if I really wanted to, which I did, Kissing Regina was all I wanted to do, even after finding out that she was what she was, what her family was, and after that night, her family had treated me like one of their own.

"Hey Swan!" Killian's voice sounded through the crowded corridor on Monday morning, Emma yawned as she waved to Killian, who had become one of her best friends over the past few weeks, Killian had taken it upon himself to be Emma's personal security if she required it, this gained eyerolls from not only the blonde by every other woman in his family,

"Can;t you just stay away from her" Neal said as he pushed himself out in front of Killian blocking his path towards Emma, Killian grinned, his pearly white teeth almost glistening, Neal gulped but stood his ground, "you're a freak Jones, you're whole family is" and before Neal could utter another word he found himself being flung across the corridor,

"How dare you speak to my brother like that!" Regina's booming voice sounded, Emma slammed her locker shut and ran to the brunette,

"What's going on?" Emma asked, placing her hand in Regina's,

"I would like to know the same thing" a firm voice said from behind everyone, Regina physically tensed and Emma jumped, "Don't you all have somewhere to be?" Cora Mills' voice sounded from behind the crowd of people gathering around the scene that was about to unfold before it was interrupted, "My office you three" Cora said looking from Killian, to Neal and finally to Regina, "Miss Swan don't you have class with Mrs Fae?" Cora asked, a small smile gracing her lips, Emma still couldn't get over how different parent Cora Mills was from Vice-Principal, Cora Cora was a caring mother, her children's welfare was her main priority, she had always taken a special interest in Regina's but when Emma came along, Cora couldn't help but want to hug the blonde everytime she was within range. Cora smiled and watched as Emma reached and squeezed Regina's hand, winked at Killian, and what looked like a glare towards Neal,

"I don't know what has gotten into all of you, but this stops now" Cora said as she sat at her desk,

"Mrs Mills, I.." Neal began,

"I don't want to hear it Mr Cassidy" Cora said, she caught Killian and Regina smirking at each other and turned on her children,

"And as for you two!" Cora said, "I expect much better from both of you!" Cora snarled, causing Killian and Regina to sit back suddenly "you are free to go Mr Cassidy, but if I hear of any more hostility with anyone, I will personally see to it that you never have a free period until you graduate, no go, you can retrieve a pass at reception" Neal nodded and stoof, his bag dropped and he picked it up just as quick before all but running from Cora's office, Cora turned on her children the minute the door closed behind him,

"I'm not going to tell you two again, lay off of him!" Cora said,

"He is sniffing around Emma" Regina growled, Cora smiled,

"Reg-"

"No mother!" Regina said standing abruptly, "I will not have a flea infested mutt anywhere near Emma" Regina said, the chair slamming against the office door with force due to Regina's movement,

"G, calm down" Killian said pulling her hand, but Regina rounded on him too,

"And you!" Regina said, baring her teeth, her brother stood and bared his own, Killian and Regina stood with their fangs out as Cora rolled her eyes and face palmed,

"Put them away, both of you!" Cora growled as she stood, a click was heard of their fangs retracting, before both Killian and Regina sat down, "Honestly, what has gotten into both of you?" Cora asked as she herself sat down,

"Emma, is mine" Regina said, and knowing how possessive it truly sounded when she voiced it, Cora's eyebrows shot up and Killian smirked slightly,

"She is not your property Regina" Cora said calmly, she could feel Regina's emotions and placed her hand over her daughters that was resting on her desk, Regina visibly relaxed, Cora even though she wasn't as gifted as her children with her powers, she did have a calming effect if she was close enough to someone in distress, "darling, I love you, we all love you, but going after Cassidy" Cora rolled her eyes are her use of his surname, making Regina show a small smile, her children where rubbing off on her, "will not help you, or us, and especially not Emma" Cora's face softened, she had developed quite the soft spot for the blonde that had captured her youngest daughters attention, she knew Regina worried about her future, she never had anything ever go her way, not until the blonde came along anyway,

"Ma, G does have a point, Cassidy is making it harder and harder for us to keep our emotions in check" Killian said, "he sets Rubes on edge" Killian who tended to keep to himself, was being more vocal with regards to Neal Cassidy, Cora did notice this, her son, she loved him, he cared for his sisters and brother more than anyone she knew, and he would do anything to make them happy, that list now also included Emma, even if it meant getting in trouble, trouble that she or her husband would not be able to get them out. "August is finding it harder to go to classes with him"

"Killian, I understand, and I will have words while in these school walls, but outside, you need to understand, if any of us put even a hair out of line, or confront Neal, then it won't just be Widow Lucas we have to deal with, it will be Gold, and the Volturi" Cora said, leaning forward and looking at Killian and Regina,

"He needs to stay away from Emma, mother, he" Regina made a face, it was pained but full of anger as well, "thinks about her, and I can't get them out of my head" Regina said, swallowing harshly, "what he thinks, what he has thought, she is, the most beautiful woman I have ever met, her soul is pure, her spirit is wild, and he..."

"Regina" Cora said, not needing her daughter to finish, "I will ensure that Emma is protected, but you cannot claim her Regina, she is not a possession, her heart is yours, I can feel it, she is at peace when she is with you, and the rest of our family, she doesn't feel like she has to hide from us, but I promise you my love, Emma will not be harmed while I have a say in how this school is ran" Cora smiled at her daughter who was not believing anything her mother said she had fallen for the blonde the moment she saw her, she had fallen hard and if she had an actual beating heart, it would have been taken by the blonde, Regina nodded, she knew her mother would ensure that Cassidy didn't interfere with them in the halls, but Emma still had lunch with them from time to time, she didn't want to tell her what to do, but she didn't want Emma getting hurt over a jealous nerd.

"Mmmmm" Emma moaed when Regina kissed down her neck, they were sitting in Regina's car, Emma's hand on Regina's leg, Regina had yet to discuss her, situation, with Emma, but she was too engrossed in kissing her that her mind short circuited and Emma moved her hand higher, Regina's brain finally caught up and she grabbed Emma's wrist, Emma pulled back and looked at Regina who only smiled and moved her hand to her right breast instead, Emma groaned and crushed their lips together again,

"Seriously!" Zelena shouted when she pulled at the door handle, causing them to break apart with a wet sound, Emma rubbed the back of her hand over her mouth and smiled shyly at the red haired girl who was grinning madly at her through the window, her eyebrows wiggling causing Emma to laugh and Regina to glare,

"I better go" Emma said, reaching down and lifting the strap of her bag, "thanks for the ride to school" Emma said, leaning over and pushing a strand of hair behind Regina's ear, Regina grabbed her hand and pulled it to her mouth, kissing over it,

"Come over, tonight" Regina said, Emma looked at her with wide eyes, "Mom wants to cook for you, give you a proper Mills family welcome" Regina said, and she really wished she was joking, Emma and Regina may be taking this slow, but Regina was in it for the long haul, she just hoped Emma was too, she wasn't sure she could handle it if Emma wasn't.

"Ehhh.." Emma said, she liked Regina, she had even started to like her family, but to have dinner with them? That was a step Emma had never taken before, giving she didn't actually have many relationships, but it was getting serious enough between them,

"You don't obviously have to come" Regina said sounding a little hurt at the blonde's hesitation, she knew Emma was comfortable with her and her siblings in school, but was Emma really worried about how their home would change, Emma shook herself and squeezed Regina's hand, she could see the gears turning in Regina's head and could only imagine the scenarios going through it,

"No I do, I just, I haven't ever been formally invited to a family dinner before" Emma said, Regina smiled and relaxed, so it wasn't the vampire thing, it was just a, dinner with the parents thing,

"Is that a yes then?" Regina asked, cautiously, Emma smiled, and gave a small nod,

"Yeah, it's a yes, I'd love to have dinner with you're family G, it'll be interesting to find out more about them" Emma said with a smile, Regina groaned, ever since Emma found out about them, Emma had taken it better than she thought, she had done nothing but ask questions, to anyone who would listen, Belle and Emma spent many times in the town library going over books about the town's history, and Emma just asking Belle questions, most of them Belle couldn't answer, but the ones she did, they didn't seem to matter to Emma what the answer was, Emma wasn't phased by it, she wasn't freaked out, she wasn't, scared, as many people seemed to be, in fact, she was intrigued, and that, that made Regina fall in love with her even more. Regina was taken out of her thoughts by another wrap at the window and she looked up to a smirking Killian waving childishly through the window, Emma bursted out laughing and leaned over and kissed Regina quickly on the cheek, to which wolf whistles where met, Emma and Regina rolled their eyes playfully,

"Thank you Emma" Regina said, before Emma got out of the car, Emma looked at her curiously, Regina smiled, "you've taking all of them a lot better than any of us could have expect" Regina said, Emma grinned, "I'll see you in class" Regina said with a wink,

"Seriously, we need to work on your moves sis" Zelenea said as she took the seat Emma just vacated, Regina tolled her eyes,

"And we need to work on your timing" Regina said, "what are you doing here? Don't you have class?" Regina asked, looking at her watch, Zelena shrugged,

"I had Chemistry, there are only so many big scientific words I can take in 40 minutes" Zelena said, laughter erupted from Regina's chest as she pulled the keys out of the ignition, she was still laughing as she made her way into Storybrooke High.
