Author's Note:

Here's my next chapter, I just wanted to say all mistakes are mine so sorry for any mistakes I may have missed out, I just really wanted to upload this chapter as soon as I finished writing it.


Regina's POV:

Ever since I brought Emma home after what happened with her and Henry she has been on edge. She hasn't moved from the couch in my office, just laying there in silence; looking at the celling as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. The very few times her gaze left the ceiling was to look at me as I worked. Every time I felt her eyes on me I would look up to try and catch her gaze but she would immediately look away.

One time she didn't look away quick enough and we both stared at each other, I could see the sadness and fear in her eyes. The fear of losing Henry's love, a look I know all too well as I have worn the same look one to many times.

Her body immediately tensed at the sound of the front door open then close.

"Mum" Henry called out, both looking at the far end of the room as if we were waiting for Henry to appear in the doorway.

"He's probably calling you"

"Emma-"

"You should go see what he wants"

She continues to look at the ceiling like it provided her with all the answers in the world. Sighing, I stand up from my chair smoothing out any wrinkles on my dress and make my way to the foyer.

"Mum?"

"Coming"

As soon as I made my way into the foyer Henry walked passed me, making his way towards the kitchen. Already knowing he's going straight for the fridge.

He pulled out a grape soda, how he even convinced me to buy such things I don't know, blaming Emma for this. He never drank such things before she came into town, well not in this house anyway, but it is better with her here so I guess I can accept this.

I stand beside him leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Henry? Is there a reason for all this yelling inside the house?"

He put the drink on the kitchen counter before looking directly at me.

"Why are you letting Emma stay here?"

I should have put up a silencing spell, Emma shouldn't have to hear this conversation again.

"Henry-"

"Is it safe for Emma to be staying with us, with you?"

"Henry you don't understand this curse; you think you do right now but you don't"

"That's fucking bullshit mum and you know it"

I couldn't help the shocked expression that appeared on my face.

"Mum, I understand just fine so unless there is something else you're not telling me, or your hiding from me then I believe I understand just fine"

"I really don't know where this bravery to swear at your mother has come from"

"Mum, I'm sorry it just"

"No Henry, before we have this conversation let me make it very clear I will not tolerate this behaviour. I raised you better than this, you may think you're grown Henry but you're not. Please remember that the next you think otherwise and consider talking to me like that again. Have I made myself clear?"

"Yes mum, I'm sorry"

I nod in response.

What the hell has gotten into him? I've never had to speak to him like this before. I don't care how old he gets, whether he is a teenage or not I won't teach him that I'm OK with him talking to me anyway he likes. Yes, I may have given him a few passes when he was younger and thought I was the evil queen but those days are long gone.

"I feel like this curse is messing everything up, it's already creating a rift between us" He turns away from me and I hear his voice hitch. As much as I wanted to remain angry I felt my anger from his previous actions begin to slowly diminish.

"Henry, what are you talking about?" I sigh out.

"Henry" My voice softens and I reach out to place my hand on his shoulder, trying to get him to face me but he refused my touch.

"I've already made you hate at me and I know Ma thinks I don't care if she died"

"Henry I don't hate you"

"Yes you do"

"Henry I could never hate you, you're my little prince and I will always love you. I'm more so disappointed at your actions than anything else"

"I'm sorry" He whispered, his voice full of emotion.

"I know you are, and I know for a fact your mother loves you to"

"Mum, I basically told Emma I would prefer her to die over you. I didn't mean to and I didn't mean for my words to come out that way but they did. I just don't want her to hurt you mum, I don't think it's smart for you and Emma to live in the same house if she can only drink from you. What if you get hurt, what if you die and you leave me too?!"

"Henry, Emma won't hurt me" I hug him from behind.

"Have you ever seen Emma hurt me?"

"No" He whispers.

"No she hasn't has she, if anything she has saved me more times than I can count. After all she is the saviour and your mother being a Hybrid does not change that. Yes, your mother can only drink my blood and yes she is staying with us but, if I ever thought letting Emma stay with us would put me or you in danger do you really think she would be here right now?"

"No"

"Henry you are my world. Plus, your mother wouldn't allow herself to stay here if she thought she would hurt me or you. OK?"

"…OK"

"Come on, you and Emma need to have a talk"

He quickly turns around to face me, panic clearly on his face.

"I don't think I should see Emma right now"

"And whys that?"

"She must hate me right now"

"Your mother doesn't hate you if anything she doesn't want you to see her any different than she was before this curse. Come on"

"What if she doesn't want to see me?"

Not responding I take his arm and guide him out the kitchen, making our way to my office only to find it empty. I could not help the small ounce of disappointment I felt that she was not there, I hope she did not leave. I don't want her to leave, I'm not ready for her to leave just yet.

"Maybe she in her room" I say to myself rather than to Henry and we make our way to the guess room which has now become Emma's room.

Once outside the white door I genitally knocked on the door waiting for a response. When I hear a small voice tell us to come in I couldn't help the little smile that appeared on my face knowing that she didn't leave. However, it was quickly wiped away once I realised how broken she sounded.

I open the door gesturing henry to enter the room before following behind him.

She was sat with her legs crossed on the Queen sized bed with her back against the head board.

She nervously ran her fingers through her hair before giving me and Henry a week smile.

"Hey" Henry said nervously rubbing the back of his neck and Emma just patted the bed signalling him to come and sit beside her. When she saw I had not moved from my spot near the door she reached out her hand for me to take.

"You know you can come sit on the bed to"

"Oh I know; it is my house after all"

"Regina just come and sit on the bed please"

Not responding I go and sit on the other side of the bed, leaving Emma in the middle of both me and Henry. The room remain silent for a few seconds before Henry broke the silence.

"Ma what I said in the car"

"It's OK Henry"

"No it's not. I don't want you to think I don't care about you or that you're not as important as Mum because you are. You're both important to me and I need you both in my life, I don't need one over the other, I need you both equally. I was just scared, it's just we've become a proper family and I don't want this curse to ruin that"

"Why do you think this curse will ruin that?" I give our son a meaningful look.

"Because Ma has to drink from you Mum, I don't want this curse to cause me to loss you as well. I know you said I won't loss you but how do you know that"

"Because my little prince and as much as I'm not looking forward to you growing up, especially after that little scene in the kitchen"

He looks away ashamed, as he should be.

"I do want to see you going to college, get married, and so much more. So I won't be going anywhere any time soon"

"Your mums right kid she not going anywhere, I will see to that your mum gets to see all those things. I don't know how to explain this to you Henry as I don't really know how to explain it to myself. I care for your Mum, she my friend, your other mother, but my Hybrid side cares for your Mum in a way that I cannot explain. I've always want to protect your Mum and I always will, but my Hybrid side cannot function unless I know your Mum is OK. I just don't know how to explain it, so because of this I know I could never hurt your Mum as doing so will only hurt myself".

"Do you think it's because Mums your life support?"

"I don't think that is the reason but I'm not too sure, it might be but I doubt it. All I know is I will always feel the need to protect your Mum regardless of this curse. I won't Hurt your mum Henry; I give you my word"

Apart of me is touched Emma cares about me this much, much more than anyone has in my entire life, but even I am curious whether it is because of this cure. However, looking at all the times she has saved me before this curse I dismiss the thought.

As soon Emma finished her sentence Henry pulled Emma into a tight embrace and I smile watching mother and son finally letting the fears of this curse go. Finally accepting that we won't let this curse create a divide in this family we have created.

"By the way Ma, even though my reaction said otherwise I don't think you're a monster" Henry said as he pulled away from the hug, and Emma gave the most beautiful smile in response showing off her dimples. Henry clearly saying the one thing she needed to hear from him.

"So hmm, I'm going to go to my room because I have homework to do. Once again I'm sorry Ma"

"It's OK Henry"

"I'm sorry mum"

I nod in response.

We both watch as Henry left the room and as soon as he did I felt strong arms wrap around my waist.

"Er Miss Swan what are you doing?" I turn my head so she couldn't see the small smile I was trying to force away.

"Hugging you"

"And what I have I done to deserve such… Actions"

"Don't act like you don't like me hugging you. All jokes aside Regina thank you, I couldn't go through this curse if Henry felt like he would have to be afraid of me or what I would do to you, so thank you"

She genially used her fingers to move my hair to the side to then place a soft kiss on the exposed part of my shoulder, and I couldn't stop the soft gasp that left my mouth. Still feeling the sensation of her lips on my skin, not wanting a repeat of what happened in the kitchen a few days ago, well that's what I'm constantly telling myself. I mean I don't want her lips all over my body, against my most intimate parts. Gosh I am so happy mind reading does not come with her being a Hybrid, because if she knew what I felt every time her lips touched my body. How I feel every time she sinks her teeth into my neck, I wouldn't even know how to explain myself.

I remove her arms from around my waist, putting some space between us I get off the bed and stand in front of her.

"So, I'm going to go and start up dinner"

"OK, I'll come with you"

"No! I mean no, you should stay here and rest you've had a long day"

We cannot be in the kitchen together especially as all I can think of right now is what could have happened on the kitchen counter if Snow did not ring the doorbell.

"Regina are you OK, you seem a bit flustered" She gives me a sly smirk.

"Just fine. Rest, please" Not waiting for a response I make my way out of the room.


Emma POV:

The sound of my phone vibrating on the desk beside my bed woke me up. Not understanding what was going on I search for the phone and look at the time and my phone reads 3 am. Remembering after having dinner with Regina and Henry we watch a film before all retiring to bed. The phone stopped ring, however it wasn't long before it started buzzing in my hand. Who the hell is calling me at 3 in the morning, letting my eyes quickly adjust to so I could see who was calling me to see it was David well 'Dad'.

"Hello" my irritation clear in my voice.

"Emma I know it's late"

"OK so why are you calling me, David it's 3 in the damn morning"

"Emma I know but your needed at the Rabbit hole"

Letting out a groan of frustration.

"And why couldn't you go?"

"I can't leave snow and the baby"

"So I can just up and leave Regina and Henry"

"Emma Snow is my wife and Neal our son and-"

"And what am I?!"

"Emma you know I didn't mean it like that I just mean I can't leave them right now"

"Oh I understood clearly, well Henry is my son and Regina is my, well she my, she just mine OK. Look just tell me the problem and I will go and sort it out"

"Emma I didn't mean-"

"Look David I'm tired and I really don't want to leave my bed right now so unless you're going to call someone else to handle this problem tell me what the problem is"

"… I got a call saying Hook and Will are drunk and fighting at the Rabbit Hole, their destroying property"

Stupid fucking Hook, when is he not drinking some sort of alcoholic substance. Why am I dating him again?

"And the owner couldn't deal with this himself because?"
"It caused a large fight to break out"

"K, I will be there in a few minutes"

"Thanks Emma"

Not responding I hang up the phone, dragging myself out the bed to put my clothes on so I could make my way to the scene. Once I was dressed I used my heightened senses to make sure both Regina and Henry were asleep before leaving the house.

Arriving at the Rabbit hole I waltz in to see the place in chaos, both Killian and Will where throwing punches at each other well at least Will was throwing lazy punches while Killian was waving around his hook. The music was turned off and only the encouraging cheering of individuals telling them to fight filled the room. Leroy being the main person I could hear who was standing on top the bar, how he even manages to get up there I don't know.

Pushing my way through the crowd I grab Will by the back of his top pulling him off Killian, dragging him out the club with ease. I rather deal with them one at a time.

"Let go of me sheriff" He slurs out, ignoring him I pull his hands behind is back none to gently, still angry that he actually shot an arrow at me.

"Shut up Will, I'm taking you in whether you like it or not. So we can do this the hard way or the easy way, I mean I couldn't care less; I can see you chose the hard way"

Handcuffing his hands together making sure they were tight I open the door to the police car and push him in not caring that he hit his head on the other door due to the force of the push. The hit knocking him unconscious, slamming the door behind him. That's what he fucking gets, maybe next time we won't shoot arrows at me.

"Hey! Will I'm not done with you" Hook comes out of the club stumbling and the metallic smell of blood fills my senses.

What the fuck happened in the space of then and now that he now has the potent smell of blood on him. Stepping back trying to fight the urge to grain him of his blood where he stands to quench my now sudden thirst.

"Killian, just go back to your ship" I rest my hands on the car trying to gain my control back, already feeling my face changing as my fangs slowly extract from there once hidden place.

"I'm putting Will in a cell for the night and the only reason I'm not taking you with me is for some strange reason I decided to date you" I hiss out, trying to focus on the fact that I cared for him at one point, that I don't want to hurt him but with every step he takes towards me makes the task harder to accomplish.

"My love you dated me for my good looks and my charm" He slurs out.

He stumbles towards me and the sent becomes stronger. It makes no sense, how is it that he smells of blood but Will doesn't.

"Stay away Killian, go home"

"Swan?"

"Go!"

"Emma. My love"

Before another word could leave his mouth I was holding his head at an angle as I sank my teeth into his neck and he cried out in pain.

However, it wasn't long before I too cried out in excruciating pain. Pushing his body away from my own I grab hold of my throat coughing up the few gulps of blood that painfully trickled down my throat.

"Fuck!" I cry out as I feel tears of pain fail.

"What the Hell Swan!" He looks at me with fear in his eyes, holding his neck to try and stop the blood that was quickly flowing out of his neck. There was blood everywhere, on my mouth, my hands, running down his neck and running down the hand that was clutching at his neck. Even after feeling all that pain the scent of his blood called to me like a siren to a sailor and I go for his throat again knowing the pain it could cause. Drinking more fiercely this time I hear his heat beat begin to become faint before once again pulling away, coughing up his blood again. This time the pain was enough to bring me to my knees and still I wanted to go back for more, the smell was just so strong. It was surrounding me and this time Regina wasn't here to help me with this unnatural thirst.

"What the hell are you" his voice was barely above a whisper, his eyes slowly closed as he became unconscious. Even still knowing that if I drank from him again I would be the cause of his death I only cared about one thing. Feeling weak and drained I slowly get up to my feet and slowly make my way to his unconscious body.

I feel a hand wrap around my wrist before I could make it to his body and I immediately relax due to this person's touch.

"Emma what did you do?"

"R-Regina" I turn to face her.

"R-Regina, I'm so hungry"

"I know Emma but I need to help Killian first OK"

"Now Regina, I need you now"

"Emma just give me a few seconds"

Ignoring my protest, she made her way over to Hook, waving her hand around his neck before he was engulfed in purple smoke

"What did you do, where is he?"

"I healed him, he's on his ship now. He won't remember anything don't worry"

"W-what about Will"

Once again she waved her hand and he too was engulfed in purple smoke.

"I put him in a cell"

I close my eyes and once I opened my eyes again we were in Regina's home, in my room.

"We need to get you cleaned"

She waved her hands and the bloody cloths vanished off my body leaving me in my underwear.

"Come on"

She guided me into the en-suit bathroom and she washed her hands to get rid of any traces of Kilian's blood then turned on the shower.

"I'll wait for you in your room"

"Regina I don't need a shower I need to feed from you"

"Emma just trust me, wash the blood off your body"

She left the bathroom closing the door behind her, following her instructions I get in the shower and it's only then do I realise she was just in a silk blue nightgown that stopped midway when she came to get me.

Getting out the shower once all the blood was washed off my body, grabbing and putting on a white robe I exiting the bathroom.

"How do you feel?"

"Hungry"

She stood up from the bed walking towards me until there was only a few inches between us. I know if I didn't feel this excruciating pain in my gums I would be able to truly appreciate how much of her olive skin was on display.

"I can see how hungry you are Emma, but you had to get his blood off you"

She ran her fingers over the small black veins near my eyes before slowly running her thumb over my sharp teeth, being careful not to draw any blood. It took everything in my power to not pull her wrist to my mouth, hell it took me a hell of a lot of will power to not take what I craved when she first came to get me.

"I don't want you to still smell blood after you feed from me, it will just make your hunger come back and we can't have that happen"

I just nod robotically in response, as I become enhanced with her neck, with the sound of her heart beat. She must have seen I could not hold this hunger off anymore because she moved her head to the side giving me a silent invitation.

Every time I sink my teeth into her neck every time feels like a new experience, a euphoric experience, sensation. Every time she lets out a sigh or a moan as I sink my teeth into her God it puts me on an all-new high, one I never want to come down from.

Pulling her body closer to my own, I wrap my arms around her in a tight embrace before letting my hands wonder down her back and back up to finger my fingers through her dark locks. My wondering hands causing the nightgown to raise with Every movement, so much so I know if I was to open my eyes and look down I would see more than just her long legs. I would see what she was wearing under the silk gown.

Just knowing the only thing that is between us is her nightgown and the white robe I have on turns me on more than I have ever been in my life.

Guiding her to the bed until the back of her legs hit the bed, softly pushing her onto the bed so that she was laying with her back pressed against the white sheets. I slowly straddle myself onto of her, the only thing that prevented my bare core touching her stomach was her nightgown. I hear her gasp and I know she can now feel my arousal that is now starting to leave a wet patch on her nightgown.

Sinking my teeth into my wrist I offer it to her to drink from and as soon as she does I bring my lips back to her neck, licking the remainder of the blood that was on her neck as the wound began to slowly close up. Grinding myself against her, the silk dress began to slowly raise up, and with Every inch it rose the smell of her arousal became stronger to my senses. God she smells amazing, not thinking I remove my wrist from her mouth and she moans in protest. I begin to kiss down her body, kissing her neck, her collar bone, the gap between her breast and she moans out my name and it was like music to my ears. Pulling her silk nightgown up so that it was around her waist, I look down to see her red lace panties and I can't help but stare.

"Fuck" I mutter to myself.

Needing to pull them off immediately.

"Em-ma"

I run my hands along her thighs.

"Em- Emma"

I loop my fingers into her red lace panties, realising I would rather rip them off than waste time pulling them down.

"Emma stop. Emma!"

"Huh" I look at her in shock, my confused clear on my face as she pushes at my chest.

"I said stop" She whispers and I cautiously slide off her.

"Oh. S-sorry"

She clears her throat.

"I. I should go to bed now"

"No! I mean you don't have to leave"

"I don't think; Emma I don't think it would be wise for me to stay here with you"

"Why?"

I know why, I can see the lust in her eyes and I smell the strong womanly scent.

"Stay please"

I look down at her and try to give her a meaning look but my gaze just goes to her chest watching every rise and fall, I watch as she quickly pulls down her silk nightgown.

"I won't do anything; I promise"

Not giving her a chance to respond I lay on the bed and pull her body to my own so that I now had my arm wrapped around her waist.

"Emma"

"Please Regina"

"I don't think this is wise"

"We'll just sleep" I rest my head on her chest squeezing my eyes closed. She right being this close to her and smelling her arousal is torcher.

We lay in silence and it wasn't long before I felt my breath quicken, I can't be surrounded in her scent and not be able to have her.

"Emma?"

"Maybe your right"

Before I could protest she poofed out of my arms and into her own room.

"Fuck me and this stupid curse!"

Getting up from the bed knowing I won't be sleeping anytime soon I open the windows wide to get rid of her scent, before making my way downstairs to get a hard drink.
