The little bell above the pawn shop rattled as Lily, Henry, and Kingsley entered the shop. Ruby had told them that the two women who ran the place would be able to help them with finding an apartment.
'This used to be Robert's shop,' said Henry as he looked around. It looked pretty much the same apart from the fact it was much lighter and cleaner too, opposed to how dark and dingy it had been when Mr Gold had run it.
'Robert? Like Neal's dad, Robert?' asked Kingsley as he spotted a sword and made his way towards it.
'Yeah, he owned like everything here at one point,' replied Henry as he moved towards the counter. The shop seemed empty, but he knew that there was a roominthe back.
Lily was also looking around, but to be honest, the place actually gave her the creeps. 'I thought your mom owned everything?'
'Don't touch,' scolded Henry, as he slapped Kingsley's hand away from the sword. 'Most of this stuff is magical and we have no idea how it works.' He turned back to face Lily. 'Mom owned the people; she didn't care much for the business side of things. The only place she was interested in apart from the mayor's office was the sheriff's station.'
'May I help you?' said a soft feminine voice from behind the counter. Henry, Lily and Kingsley all startled a bit at the unexpected interruption, but Henry recovered fast and walked over to the counter.
He gave the woman a smile and nodded. 'Yes, we were told that you could help us find an apartment,' he answered.
The woman smiled back at him as she studied him curiously. 'You're not from here, are you?'
'No, we're from Boston. We got here a few days ago,' said Lily as she and Kingsley came to stand beside Henry.
'Oh,' said the woman as she continued to study the people in front of her. 'Well, it's nice to meet you.' She stuck out her hand for Lily to shake. 'I'm Marian, and you are?'
Lily took the hand and gave her a tight smile. 'I'm Lily.' She gestured to her sons. 'And these are my twins, Henry.' She pointed to Henry. 'And Kingsley,' she finished, as she pointed to Kingsley.
Marion shook both boys' hands as she smiled warmly at them. 'Nice to meet you both. I have a son myself. He's a bit younger thanyou,though. He's nine. And I'm about to become a mother again very soon. My wife is pregnant and we're going to have a daughter.'
Henry and Kingsley gave her matching grins. 'Congratulations,' they chorused, making Marian laugh and Lily roll her eyes.
'You're lucky you're not having twins. They're super weird,' joked Lily as she ruffled her boys' hairs.
Marion laughed. 'I don't think I could handle twins. Roland is a handful as it is. I'm not even sure I remember what to do with a baby. It's been nine years-'.
'You will do wonderfully, my love,' said a smooth voice from behind Marian. 'It is I that has never raised a child,' she pointed out with a teasing smirk.
Marian turned and smiled lovingly at her wife. 'You've been around Zaynah since she's been born and you're amazing with her,' she replied as she kissed her wife's cheek.
The woman let out a throaty chuckle. 'The child screams every time I pick her up. She hates me. I think Regina has turned her against me as revenge.'
Henry studied the woman who obviously knew his mom, trying to figure out who she was. He definitely hadn't seen her in the first curse. She was tall, with blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
Marian slapped her lightly on the arm. 'Regina is your best friend; she wouldn't do that and you know it.'
The woman rolled her eyes at her wife. 'Oh, my love, you are so naïve. I have known Regina since she was a young girl and trust me, nobody holds a grudge like our madam mayor does.'
The woman then moved her eyes over to the people standing in front of the counter. 'How many bedrooms do you need in your apartment?' She asked before she held out her hand, which Lily took. Mal's eyes flicked down before she looked up and smiled. 'I'm Mal Drake, I run this shop with my wife.'
Henry's eyes went wide and his mouth dropped open a bit. 'No fucking way,' he blurted out loudly as his mind figured out who Mal was.
Lily whipped her head round to face her son, her eyebrow raised in question as Kingsley let out a loud snort while Marian and Mal eyed him with amusement. 'Would you care to explain your very loud and totally out of character use of bad language?' asked Lily with a pointed look.
Henry's cheeks pinked as he tried to come up with an answer that wasn't the truth. His eyes darted to the clock. 'Um, it's twelve forty, we're late to meet ma,' he mumbled.
Lily eyed him suspiciously, not at all buying that, but she knew Henry wouldn't have cursed for nothing, Kingsley, yes, but Henry definitely not. Something was obviously wrong. 'Is it okay if we come back later?' She asked as she flicked her gaze to the two women behind the counter.
'Yes, of course,' smirkedMal,as she looked from Lily to Henry, who was still sporting a light blush. 'Just tell me how many bedrooms you're looking for and I can have some places for you to look at when you come back.'
'We need at least five, and money isn't a problem,' replied Kingsley with a charming smile.
'Four will be fine,' rebutted Lily as she glared at her blonde son. 'You and Henry can share. I know your Ma said not to worry about money but she's only just started her new job here and she's still paying for the apartment in Boston.'
Kingsley rolled his eyes. 'Fine, four then, but me and Hen want our own bathroom. I refuse to share with Bella,' he said as he turned to his twin. 'Right Hen?'
Henry didn't really care, he had more important things to think about, like how he was going to break it to Lily that Mal was her mother. 'Um, yeah, whatever you want,' he answered distractedly.
'Right, so, four bedrooms with an ensuite,' remembered Marian. 'Anything else?'
'It has to be furnished, unless there's a place around here where we could buy that type of stuff? I haven't really had the chance to explore,' said Lily.
'And it needs a garden big enough to play soccer in,' chimed in Kingsley.
'There is a shop,it'scalled Marco's. He's makes furniture, but I'll also look for some furnished homes to show you and then you can choose what's best,' suggested Mal.
'Yes, that's sounds great. Thank you.' Lily looked at the clock again. 'We really must be going to meet Emma, but I'll be back later.' She smiled as Mal and Marion nodded. 'let's go kids.'
Henry and Kingsley said their own goodbyes before they followed Lily out of the shop. Henry was still deep in thought, so he jumped a little when Lily gripped his shoulder. 'So what was all that about? She questioned as she held his gaze.'You've never cursed before. I wasn't even sure if you knew those types of words.'
Henry chuckled. 'Emma is mymother,and Kingsley is my brother. Of course I know those words, but I know if my mom heard me saying them that I would be grounded forlife.' he smiled sadly before a sly grin took over his features. 'Talking of moms,' he continued as he pointed to the shop. 'Mal is yours.'
Lily's eyebrows furrowed before they shot into her hair line as she gaped. 'No fucking way,' she squeaked, making Henry and Kingsley let out a bark of laughter.
'I know, right?' Agreed Henry with a smirk.
'I look nothing like her,' pointed out Lily with a frown. 'She's all tall and blonde with blue eyes, and I'mof averageheight with dark hair and brown eyes. I look more like Regina's kid than hers... are you sure she's my mom?'
Henry nodded. 'Ninety-five percent sure. Her name is Mal, which could be short for maleficent and her surname is Drake, which means dragon,' he replied confidently.
He knew maleficent was a dragon, that bit was in his story book, but there wasn't a picture of her in human form which was why he didn't recognise her. He wondered if Lily was also a dragon. He guessed it would depend on who her father was, or mother, he supposed. It obviously wasn't unheard of for two women to have a baby in the Enchanted Forest. There were probably spells or potions to help with that.
'Right,' said Lily, still in shock from finding out her mother was only a few feet away from her. She knew she had come here to findher,but a part of her, a big part of her, had believed that she wouldn't find her, and now that she had, she didn't really know how to process it.
'We should go and meet Emma. We were supposed to be in the diner by half past,' she reminded her sons as she pushed all thoughts of her mother to the back of her mind and walked in the direction of the diner.
Regina had made it to the town hall just before lunchtime. Oriel had tried to ask where she had been, but she had snapped at her that it was none of her business before she walked into her office and locked the door.
She was now sitting at her desk staring at her computer screen, attempting to read her emails and trying to get the image of a broken Emma Swan out of her mind. But so far, she had achieved neither of those things.
She sighed as she shut down her computer and got up from her desk before she made her way over to the little mini bar on the other side of her office. She needed a drink, or several. She wouldn't normally day drink, but after the morning she had had, she really couldn't think of anything else that would help.
She poured herself a generous glass of apple cider and took a seat on the sofa. She still couldn't believe that Emma knew about magic and, more importantly, knew that she was the Evil Queen. Though she remembered that Emma had specifically said, "They used to call you the Evil Queen." Which meant that Emma knew they didn't call her that anymore, but how? How would Emma know that if she had been in this land?
It made Regina wonder who Emma's parents were, and what the hell motivated them to send their child to an unknown land via a magic tree, and why hadn't Rumple known about this tree and where the hell was Rumple, anyway? dark ones didn't just disappear, especially not dark ones like Rumpelstiltskin.
She looked at the clock and noticed it had just turned one. 'I should probably go and get some lunch,' she muttered to herself as she rose from the sofa and collected her things.
Oriel would only ask questions if she didn't and honestly, she didn't want to talk about anything that had happened today or any day since Emma had come to town. She just hoped that she wouldn't bump into the woman in granny's, well. that's what she told herself anyway, but deep down she knew that she wanted to see Emma, if only to check that she was okay.
'Are you going to tell her you know?' Asked Emma as she wiped her hands on a napkin. She was sitting in the diner after just finishing her lunch and Lily had just told her about Mal.
'I'm not sure. I don't even know if she remembers she had a daughter, and she has a new family now, she's pregnant with another daughter, and I'm not sure if I want to get in the middle of that,' replied Lily softly as she moved her food around her plate with her fork. She didn't have much of an appetite. She had been feeling a bit sick since she had found out that Mal was her mother.
Emma placed her hand on top of Lily's hand that was on the table. 'She remembers her old life,' she divulged as she gave it a squeeze. 'I think you should at least get some answers from her.'
'How do you know she remembers?'chimed in Henry from where he was sitting next to Lily.
A hint of pain flashed in Emma's eyes as she remembered exactly how she knew that information, but it was gone just as fast as she forced a smile for her son. 'Regina told me earlier. They remember everything from before they came to Storybrooke the first time,' she revealed. She then looked up as she heard the diner door ding and her face paled.
'Oh, for fuck's sake,' she muttered as she watched Snow White and Prince Charming enter the diner, pushing a baby in a stroller. 'Looks like you're not the only one that's been replaced,' she grumbled towards Lily as she ripped her eyes away from the people who tossed her away.
'To be fair, they don't remember you exist,' pointed out Henry as he watched his grandparents take a seat at the booth right next to theirs.
'They're your parents?' asked Kingsley as he too looked towards Snow and David, the former who had now picked up the baby and was getting it ready to be fed.
'Yeah,' she answered simply, but didn't elaborate any further. She had no idea why it hurt so much to see them with another kid. It wasn't like she had wanted them to be her parents anymore, and even though she knew ittechnically wasn't her fault, she still blamed Snow for having to leave Regina in the first place, not to mention that she sent her through the tree.
The diner door dinged again and in walked another person that Emma could do without seeing right now. 'You have to be fucking kidding me,' she growled as she slammed her cup on the table and got up from the booth. 'I fucking hate this town,' she added before she moved towards the hallway at the back of the diner.
Henry looked from Emma, who was basically stomping through the diner, to Regina, who was standing just inside the door, watching her with a sad smile, and frowned. His moms must have had a fight. He wondered if Emma had tried to tell her the truth and she hadn't believed her, but then he vetoed that idea, knowing that Emma would never just blurt that out without having proof to back up her claims, which they didn't have. He hadn't thought to bring photos with him before the cursehit,and now he hated himself for it.
Emma returned about ten minutes later, feeling a little better after giving herself a pep talk in the toilets. She couldn't afford to fall apart right now. She needed to be strong for Henry. This whole situation was just as hard for him as it was for her and she was the only one that understood what he was going through and she couldn't let him see how broken she was.
She had nearly made it back to their booth when her foot caught on something and she lost her balance. 'Careful,' said David with a chuckle as he grabbed her arm to steady her.
Emma straightened herself and gave him a tight smile. 'Thank you,' she said as her eyes darted to where he still had his hand on her arm.
David must have noticed because he removed it a second later. 'You're welcome.' He bent down to pick up the rattle that she had almost tripped on. 'Sorry, Jace must have dropped this,' he smiled apologetically as he showed Emma the rattle shaped like a bird.
'No worries,' said Emma as she looked over at the baby that was still in Snow's arms. She had to admit he was cute. He looked like Henry when he was a baby. She only knew that from photos that Regina used to have up in the mansion. 'How old is he?' she found herself asking, though she had no idea why.
'He's two months. I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was nearly due. One day I'm getting told I'm pregnant and three weeks later little Jace-Ruben was born,' laughed Snow as she looked up at Emma.
Emma forced out a laugh of her own. 'That must have been quite the surprise.'
'It was,' agreed David, as he held out his hand for Emma to shake. 'I'm David and this is my wife, Mary-Margaret,' he said as he gestured to Snow.
Emma took his hand and gave it a firm shake, probably a bit harder than she intended, but oh well. 'I'm Em-.' she started before she was interrupted.
'Emma Swan, the new sheriff.' David finished for her. 'I've heard all about you. Robin is a friend of mine,' he smirked, amusement shining in his sky-blue eyes.
Emma rolled her eyes. 'The dude is an asshole; I honestly don't know what his problem is.' She looked over at Regina and saw that she was already watching them. Their eyes locked for a beat before Emma turned away and focused her attention back on David.
'He has a weird problem with Sheriff's. I wouldn't take it personally.' He rolled his own eyes. He honestly didn't understand what Robin's problem waseither,and he very much doubted that Emma was really trying to steal Regina away from him like he was rambling about last night when he turned up at David's drunk. Mary-Margaret had been furious because he'd nearly woken the baby and she had made David take him back to his camp in the forest.
'I was actually going to ask if you were thinking about hiring a deputy?'he added when it seemed like Emma wasn't going to reply.
Emma thought about it before she answered. She was going to look for a deputy but she hadn't necessarily wanted that person to be her father who didn't know he was her father and who now had a new kid, but she couldn't exactly just tell him no without a good reason and she didn't have one.
'Um, yeah, I'll probably be putting up a flyer this week. You're welcome to come for an interview,' she replied with what she hoped was a smile and not a grimace.
'Great, I'll definitely do that,' grinned David before he looked over to the booth that Emma had been sitting in when he first came in. 'Is that your family?' he asked as he nodded towards the booth.
Emma followed his eyes and smiled as she nodded. 'Yes, those are my twin sons, Henry and Kingsley.' Both boys gave him a smile. 'And that is Lily, their mother.' She knew that he would assume it was her wife. People always did, but honestly, Emma felt that right now it was probably better that people did think that it would raise fewer questions, especially since they were about to move in together.
Lily gave him a smile and a little wave before she felt eyes on her. She turned her head to see Regina glaring daggers at her and she smirked. She knew that Regina didn't like her. The woman had made it quite obvious, and it was probably only going to get worse once she got her memories back and remembered she was Henry's mom. She heard the diner bell again and looked up, only to see her own mom and her wife walk through the door. They made a beeline straight for Regina and said hello before they took a seat.
Emma had also watched the newcomers enter. She followed them with her eyes until she realised who they were here to see. Her gaze locked on Regina's again and she gave her a sad smile before she looked away again. She was just about to excuse herself from where she was still standing with David when the diner door opened once again and Robin walked in with his son. 'Here we go again,' she muttered.
Regina lifted her head when she heard someone say her name. Her stomach filled with dread a second later when she realised it was Robin, but she forced a smile. 'Robin, Roland,' she greeted as she stood from the table. 'I was just finishing lunch before I headed back to the office.'
Robin leaned in and placed a kiss on her cheek, thatmade her cringe. 'I came to drop Roland off with Marian.' He turned to his ex wife and her partner. 'I was hoping that maybe you would do us a favour and watch Zaynah tonight so we could have a night to ourselves.'
Regina was just about to protest. She didn't want a night alone with him and he had no right to plan this without discussing it with her first, but Mal spoke before her.
'Zaynah won't settle with us,' she said, as she gave Robin an odd look. He should already know that. It was the only reason they hadn't offered to babysit before. Everyone who knew the child knew that she would only settle with a handful of people and she and Marian weren't in that handful.
'Mal is right. We would love to have her, but she'd only cry for Regina. Sorry,' said Marian, before she turned to her son. 'Did you have fun with your father, Roland?'
Regina breathed a sigh of relief, but her relief was short lived when another person inserted themselves into their conversation. 'We wouldn't mind having her. She doesn't settle for me either, but she loves David,' smiled Snow as she looked from Regina to Robin.
Regina sighed again. Unfortunately Snow was right, Zaynah did love David. He was the only other person she would go to apart from her, Alma, and Zelena. 'And the Swans,' added her brain unhelpfully. She snuck another glance atEmma,who was watching the scene with an unreadable expression. They held eye contact for a few seconds before Emma turned back toLily,who was talking to her.
'Regina,' said Robin, trying to get her attention before he followed her eye line and scowled. Why was his fiancée so obsessed with the Swan woman? 'Well,' he thought to himself. 'Hopefully after tonight it won't be a problem.'
'Hmm?' asked Regina as she brought her eyes back to Robin's. Emma seemed fine; Regina could hear her laughing at whatever Lily had said.
'I was saying that we should take the Nolan's up on their offer to have Zaynah for the night,' replied Robin with a charming smile that made Regina want to roll her eyes.
Regina looked over at Emma again and felt the familiar wave of jealousy roll through her as she watched Lily take her hand and squeeze it before she looked back at Robin and smiled.
'Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea. I think a night alone is exactly what we need,' she agreed loud enough for Emma to hear before she gave him a peck on the lips. She heard Emma let out a disgusted scoff, and she smirked. The new sheriff wasn't the only one who could make someone jealous.
Emma could feel her jaw clenching as rage burned through her veins. She knew what Regina was doing, she knew she had only agreed to a night with Robin to get at her, however she didn't understand why, it was Regina that had ended things between them not the other way around so she had absolutely no reason to behave that way.
'I should be heading back to the station,' she sighed as she looked at her watch. It was twenty-five past one and she only had five minutes of her lunch break left.
Lily nodded as she stood from the booth. 'I'll go and pay for our lunch,' she said as she pulled out her wallet and moved towards the counter.
Emma followed and grabbed her by the arm, effectively halting her. and leaned in to whisper in her ear. 'Do you have enough cash? I know things were rough before we came here.'
It was the reason that they had ended up living with Emma. Lily had been let go from her job, and Neal hadn't been working due to staying at home to care for Bella. They had been on the verge of losing their home when Emma had found them. Rumple had offered Neal money,but he had refused, saying he didn't need anything from the man that chose power over him.
It had caused Lily and Neal to argue a lot and they actually split up for a few months, which was when Kingsley, Bella and Lily had come to stay with Emma while Neal stayed with Rumple. Emma had called in a few favours and had gotten Lily a job and Neal had also found work. Emma pushed Lily to talk to Neal, and they eventually sorted things out. Things were better now, but Emma knew that Lily was still paying off a lot of debt and she had heard Lily and Neal arguing about money a few days before they came here.
Lily smiled at her softly. 'I can manage to pay for a few burgers, Emma,' she chuckled. 'Though you should talk to your son about trying to bankrupt you, he told the women that were finding us an apartment that money wasn't a problem and we needed a five bedroomed place.'
'I told him money wasn't a problem,' remembered Emma. 'And we kind of do need the extra room if Bella and Neal are going to come and stay with us at some point. We don't know how long we're going to be here.'
They started walking towards the counter again. 'We don't need five bedrooms though Em, the boys can share like they did at home. If Kingsley had his way, we'd be moving into a freaking mansion,' said Lily as she pulled out some bills and handed them to Granny.
Emma laughed. 'I'm pretty sure the only mansion around here belongs to the mayor, so-.'
'Actually, there's another mansion just outside of the woods. It's empty too, if you're interested?' interrupted Mal with a smirk.
Emma whipped her head around to see Regina's whole booth watching them. 'Emma, this is Mal and Marian,' said Lily as she gestured to the two women. 'They're going to help us find an apartment.'
Emma gave them a charming smile as she held out her hand. 'Nice to meet you, and congratulations.' She nodded towards Mal's stomach. 'When are you due?'
Mal shook her hand and smiled back. 'I have three weeks left, but I'm not sure she's going to stay in that long. Though I'm ready for her to come now, the last few weeks have been very uncomfortable.'
'At least you had time to prepare,' chimed in Snow. 'We had nothing ready when we found out about Jace. If it wasn't for Regina, our poor baby wouldn't have even had a crib,' she chuckled as she shot Regina a grateful smile.
Regina returned the smile. Trying her best to ignore Emma and Lily's presence. This was by far the most awkward situation she had beenin,especially since she could see Robin next to her shooting Emma nasty looks that the blonde was so obviously pretending she couldn't see.
'I didn't know I was pregnant with the twins until I was seven months, so I know how you feel. We had to rush out and buy two of everything. It cost us a fortune. I don't think we ever recovered,' laughed Lily as everyone else joined in apart from Robin.
'Do you only have the two?' Asked Marian as she looked towards Emma and Lily.
'No, I have another little girl, Bella. She's five,' informed Lily as Emma looked at her watch again. It was just after one and she really needed to go.
'Lil, I really need to get back to the station but I finish at three so I can meet you outside the pawn shop and we can look at apartments together. Maybe we will get that mansion in the woods,' she teased with a wink as Henry and Kingsley joined them.
'We're going to live in a mansion? Awesome!' exclaimed Kingsley as Henry rolled his eyes.
Lily shot Emma a pointed look before she turned to Kingsley. 'No, she was joking. I know you might not believeme,but your Ma is in fact not a millionaire.'
'Mansions aren't that fascinating,' muttered Henry. 'I much preferred our apartment in Boston.'
'I live in a mansion with my mother and Mal,' spoke up Roland for the first time. 'And my father lives in a mansion with Regina. She's the mayor, and she owns this town.' He raised his chin and looked at Henry and Kingsley smugly.
Henry and Kingsley both rolled their eyes at the snotty tone. 'Kid sounds like a brat. I'm so glad you didn't turn out like that, bro,' whispered Kingsley, making Henry snort.
Emma heard him though and gave him a discreet nudge. 'Um, congratulations on being rich, I guess,' replied Kingsley as he looked towards Roland with a smirk.
Roland just gave him a dirty and look turned away. Emma looked over at Regina, who she could see was hiding a smirk of herown,as was Mal, while Marian was looking at Roland disapprovingly and Robin was still scowling at Emma.
'I must get back to the office,' said Regina once the silence had become a bit awkward. 'Or Oriel will be sending out a search party.'
Robin stood as well. 'Yes, I have a few things to do before tonight,' informed Robin as he leaned in to give Regina a kiss on the lips, but she saw it coming and turned her head, making him kiss her cheek. She knew Emma was watching them and, as much as she was mad at the blonde, she had already hurt her enough.
Emma turned away from Regina and Robin as her stomach rolled at the disgusting display of public affection. Lily noticed and leaned in to give Emma a kiss on the cheek. 'Don't let them get to you,' she whispered before she pulled back. Emma gave her a small smile before she kissed Henry and Kingsley on the cheek.
'I love you and I'll see you after my shift. Make sure you behave for your mom,' she warned them as she picked up the bag she had brought with her and moved towards the door.
'We love you too,'shouted Henry and Kingsley, just before she left the diner.
Regina left a few seconds later and was walking along main street towards her office when someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a little alley way. Her magic instantly reacted and a pulse of purple energy slammed into Emma and knocked her into the wall.
'Fuck, Regina,' she groaned as she slid down the wall. 'That's twice today that you've assaulted me.'
Regina's lip curled into a snarl. 'Only rapists and murderers grab women and pull them into alley ways, sheriff Swan, so it's your own goddamned fault,' she sneered, though on the inside she was actually really worried that she had hurt Emma.
Emma let out a chuckle, followed by a hiss of pain as her ribs started throbbing. 'Shit,' she moaned as she lifted her top and saw a big purplish bruise covering her left side.
Regina's eyes followed the movement and she let out a gasp when she, too, noticed the angry purple bruise. 'Oh God, Emma, I'm so sorry,' she apologised as she moved over to the blonde and bent down to take a closer look. She ran her hand gently over the mark as she felt tears fill her eyes.
She hadn't meant to hurt Emma. Her magic had reacted, instinctively thinking she was in danger. 'Hey, it's okay,' soothed Emma as she noticed Regina's watery brown eyes. 'It was an accident, and it isn't like I haven't had broken ribs before.' She cupped Regina's cheeks with both hands and wiped away her tears with her thumbs. 'It was my own fault. I shouldn't have grabbed you. It certainly wasn't my smartest move.' She tried to laugh to lighten the mood,but she only ended up wincing again.
'Stop laughing, you're making it worse,' chided Regina softly as she tried to ignore the fluttering in her heart at Emma's proximity and the gentle touch on her face. 'Will you let me heal you?' She asked hesitantly as she took Emma's wrists and pulled them away from her face.
She didn't know how Emma felt about magic and she knew that sometimes people could be wary of her using magic on them, especially since she used to be the Evil Queen.
Emma noticed the hesitance in Regina's voice and she gave her a warm smile. 'Of course, I trust you,' she assured as she lifted her top a bit more so Regina could see all the damage.
Regina returned the smile as she let her hands settle over the bruise. 'It might sting a little, I'm sure you have a few broken ribs.' Emma nodded before she let out another hiss of pain as she felt Regina's magic healing her broken bones. It only lasted about thirty seconds, though, and afterthat,she felt as good as new.
'Thank you,' she whispered breathlessly. She now totally understood what Regina had said about magic being intoxicating back when Emma had found out she could also use magic, because right now she couldn't think about anything other than ripping Regina's clothes off and fucking until they were both too exhausted to cum anymore.
'Emma,'whimpered Regina as she, to felt the familiar ache between her legs. She could see the raw desire in the blonde's eyes and it made her knees weak as her clit throbbed in need. 'Emma, please.' She didn't know whether she was pleading for her to stop whatever this was or if she was pleading for her to put an end to their suffering and just fuck her already.
Emma's intense gaze didn't waver as she pulled Regina closer before she captured her lips in a hungry kiss. She let out a needy moan as Regina's tongue tangled with her own before she bit down on the brunette's bottom lip, making the woman groan into her mouth.
'I need you,' panted Emma between kisses. She felt Regina's hand tangle in her hair as she pulled her further into her. 'I need you more than I've ever needed anyone.' She moved her lips across Regina's jaw and down her neck as the brunette moaned softly above her.
Emma closed her eyes as she felt a pull deep in her stomach. She heard Regina let out a sharp gasp as they were whisked away in a puff of white smoke before they landed on her bed in the BB.
'You have magic?' asked Regina in awe before she shivered as the cool air caressed her naked body. Apparently, Emma's magic had also rid them of their clothing.
Emma smiled sheepishly. 'Um, yeah, but I actually forgot about it until now. I'm still not really sure how to use it. I didn't intend for this tohappen.' she shrugged with a chuckle as she took in their nakedness.
Regina raised an amused eyebrow. Not really believing that the blonde's magic had put them in this situation without Emma wanting it to happen. 'Oh? So, you didn't mean for us to land in your room or for me to end up naked in your lap, did you not?'
'Well, I did want you naked but I always want you naked and it's never happened before so I didn't expect itto actually happenthis time either.'
Regina eyed her sceptically, searching for any hints that she was lying. 'You really didn't use your magic to make this happen?' She asked once she had found only confusion and arousal in Emma's bright green eyes.
'Regina, I can count on one hand how many times I've used my magic and only one of those times was it intentional,' said Emma, as she remembered the few times she had used her powers. She had only known she had magic for five days before she had to leaveStorybrookeso she didn't really have a chance to figure it out. In fact, she had totally forgotten she possessed it until about five minutes ago.
She grabbed Regina's hand and pressed their palms together before she closed her eyes and pictured her magic flowing from her hand into Regina's and touching her the way she wanted to do. She wasn't sure it would work, but she wanted to try it, anyway. Her eyes shot open a few moments later as she heard Regina moan loudly.
Regina had her eyes shut, her lips were parted and her head was thrown back as she withered and moaned in the blonde's lap while Emma's magic caressed her body like a lover. 'Fuck, god, Emma, yes,' she whimpered as the phantom touch pinched her nipples and little bolts of electricity shot to her clit, making her legs shake and her hips roll.
Emma watched with a mixture of awe and desire as she basically got Regina off without even touching her. 'Fuck, baby,' she husked as she watched the woman arch into the magical touch. 'This is the hottest thing I've ever seen; you look so fucking sexy and I can feel your pussy dripping all over my cock. This is really turning you on, isn't it?'
Regina forced her eyes open as she trembled from the overwhelming pleasure that was rolling through her entire body. 'I'm far past the point of turned-on Emma,' she moaned. 'If you don't stop, your magic is going to make me cum.' She let out another loud moan as the invisible touch pushed two fingers inside of her and starting thrusting gently.
She could feel her own magic begging to be released as Emma's magic called for it to come and play. She closed her eyes again as she pushed it forward and let it flow into the palm that was pressed against her own. 'Oh, fuck, Regina,' gasped Emma as she felt something wrap around her cock.
Regina let out a husky chuckle as she felt Emma's hips buck as her own magic stroked the blonde's cock. 'It feels good, doesn't it?' She panted as her own hips rocked into Emma's magical thrusts.
'It feels so fucking good,' purred Emma as Regina's magic caressed her balls and increased the pace on her cock.
Their laced fingers tightened as their lips came together in a hungry kiss filled with passion, need, and want. 'Darling, I'm so close,' moaned Regina against Emma's lips as felt the familiar tingle spread though her entire body.
Emma moaned back as she felt her balls tighten and heat coiled in her stomach. 'I'm close too, baby girl,' she panted as her free hand gripped the back of Regina's neck to keep her close. 'Cum with me Gina, I want you to cum with me.'
Regina clawed her nails down Emma's back as Emma's magic hit the spot inside of her that drove her wild. 'Emmaaaa,' she screamed as her nails dug harshly into blonde's skin. 'Darling, I'm Cumming,' she cried out as wave after wave of ecstasy rolled through her and her cunt spasmed and squirted her release all over Emma's cock and stomach.
'Fuck, Regina, fuck,' moaned Emma as she gripped Regina's neck harder and her hips bucked uncontrollably as her own orgasm washed over her. Their combined magic making the whole experience more intense for them as they both come together in more ways than one, though neither of them were aware of just how entwined they now were.
