Previously on When We Were Younger:
Hold on to me." She said as she started trotting.
"Tighter, Emmy, I'm going to speed up now."
And speed up she did, she did indeed.
Nobody's P.O.V.
"Woo who who!" Emma yelled as she held onto Regina's waist.
"I take it you are having fun." Regina laughed.
"Are you kidding me? Horseback riding is the shit!" Emma laughed.
"Yes, well even if it is as you say, 'the shit' Daisy-Mae needs rest." Regina slowed down.
"Fine by me. Wanna go get ice cream?" Emma watched as Regina got off the horse and held out her hand.
"What's this ice cream you speak of?" Emma took Regina's hand.
"It's like a milkshake without the milk. You had a chocolate one yesterday afternoon at Granny's, remember?" Regina nodded and lead Daisy back into her pen.
After packing up and putting everything back Emma and Regina made their way to Ice Queen's Ice Cream, which was surprisingly open, then again it was 8:30 in the morning.
Regina and Emma walked to the pier and sat down with their cups of ice cream, shoes off and legs dangling over the edge.
"EMMMM-MAAAAHHHHH!" Regina sighed after taking her first spoonful of cookie dough ice cream.
"Yeah..." Emma laughed.
"So good. How'd you say it...ah yes, 'the shit.'" Regina grinned.
"Yes, well, Reggie this teaches you one thing," Emma paused for dramatic effect, "I'm always right when it comes to good eatin'."
"Reggie... really...my name is Regina." Regina smiled.
"You called me Emmy!"
"Okay I'll make you a deal," Regina turned and looked at Emma, "You can call me Reggie and Princess if I can call you Emmy and Bean." (Quick A/N: I was gonna do Renegade, but Beanie is like a nickname for petite women and I thought Bean would be cutest.)
"Alright, Princess, you've got yourself a deal." Emma took another spoonful of ice cream.
"You know what I find humorous?" Regina started.
"I'm listening." Emma closed her eyes.
"We were riding for about five and a half hours. We left around 1 got there about 2 and I taught you everything you need to know at the moment by 3 and a half." Regina smiled.
"I guess you are, right."
They sit like that for a bit in silence just taking in the cool air.
Both lying their head on the other semi-sleep.
Regina's P.O.V.
Mother would kill me if she knew where I was right now much less who I'm with. She's beautiful... and she sees the world much different than anyone I grew up with. She never has to be anything more than Emma. She isn't a princess or prince, queen or king, she's just Emma Swan. Nothing wrong with that at all.
"Emma...we should probably start to head back. It's 9:13."
Emma laid her head on my shoulder, "But I don't wanna go. I like just being here with you." She smiled sleepily.
"It's not that far we can go back and go sleep." I slipped my hands into hers and started to get up with Emma following my lead.
"I miss my mom..." I randomly state as we are walking down the road. Literally on the road and not on the safer route to the side.
"I thought you were scared of her?" Emma glanced as me.
"I am, but I still love her. She isn't one of those mothers that makes you cookies and pats you on the back, but she wasn't the worst. She works a lot. When I was younger I'd always want to play with her, but she was working. She didn't cuddle me, but she did provide for me. I felt an odd sensation with her not safe because she does beat me, but I know when it comes down to it she would always protect me."
No, she wouldn't! Stop being so dependent upon others. She's right you're pathetic!
Great the voices are back.
Regina you are meant to be queen and you hold powerful magic, but instead of using it to make this peasant bow down, you confide your secrets. Idiot! She is going to tell everyone everything now...stupid, stupid, STUPID!
"Reggie, Reggie, Regina!" Emma snaps me back to reality.
"Sorry...what?"
"We're here...are you okay?" Emma and I step into the apartment building and knock on Mary-Margret's door.
"My dark magic...sometimes it uh it speaks an-" I'm cut off by the door swinging open.
"There you are! Jesus Emma, Regina you scared me!" Mary-Margret hugged Emma and was about to hug me when i swiftly moved towards the side.
"We just visited the stables. Fear not was nothing grand." I folded my arms and looked down.
"Um alright, where'd ya get the clothes I thought we were going shopping later today."
"Reggie magicked them up this morning." Emma smiled brightly and add, "But I'd still like to go shopping of that's cool with you."
"Of course!" Mary-Margret smiled.
"May I go to the room and have a nap first?" I asked timidly.
Mary-Margret gave a confused look before quickly smiling and saying, "Of course."
Emma leaned close and whisper in my ear, "I'll be up in a second I need to talk to Mary-Margret."
I nodded and continued onward towards the stairs.
Emma's P.O.V.
I slowly sit on the couch and Mary-Margret sits on the opposite side.
"You are my mom, right?"
" Yes, I am. " M-M responds.
"What is our relationship like?" I say hoping it's okay.
"At first before I knew you were my daughter we were really good friends. Then when we found out our relationship became kind of strained. After we made it past that stage we have been really close. You love me and I love you. Once you realized that you started to feel safe and loved, I guess." M-M smiled at me.
" Y-you love m-me? " I started to choke on my words as a wave of emotion swept over me.
"Very much and your father, too. I believe you two have more in common which is why you began to trust him first. None the less, I love you unconditionally always have and always will. " As soon as she said unconditionally I broke and let my emotions take over. I then practically lunged into her arms.
