Cora returned to her Portland house and opened the door to see Henry Sr. laughing with her grandson. Zelena sent him the pictures of Regina in her childhood. The oldest memory was Regina in her diaper with her messy smile covering in a tomato sauce.
It's how Cora smirked at the photo of her young daughter and scolded on Zelena for showing Henry Jr. The brown-haired boy didn't mind to look through his biological mother and asked his grandmother for some questions.
"Why didn't you wanted to help my mom with her surgery and the financial needs?"
It paused Zelena and Henry Sr. to look through the photos and looked up at the woman stuttering some words but won't come out to answer this question. Henry Jr. was smarter enough to ask that question but moved to another question.
"Why didn't you let Regina see Emma since they fell apart from college?"
"Henry, it's not her fault to make it happen. It's your mothers' business." Zelena quickly replied to that questions. She was there on that day when Regina came to call her. It was very vivid one. Cora widened her eyes and swallowed like a fish. Henry Sr. raised his eyebrows at her.
"But I want to know why Grandma didn't let it happen?" Henry Jr. frowned at his aunt. Zelena sighed with a shrug. The oldest woman silently thanked her first daughter before turning away toward the kitchen. The old man followed her along until his voice shook her up.
"Why didn't you speak?"
"Well, I was freezing and I didn't know how to answer our grandson from our young daughter's penis!" Cora screamed at her husband, Henry Sr. was laughing at her outburst after hearing about his daughter's penis. The matriarch of the Mills family glared at him and scowled when she turned away. she kept listening to her husband's laughter in the kitchen.
Zelena came inside to find her parents and informed them that she was planning to drop Henry Jr, back to the Nolans residence. Cora looked at her daughter and nodded with no answer. Henry Sr. was wiping his tears with his small laughter. Zelena was perplexed with her father and shrugged with her retreat to see her nephew in her living room.
Cora came out with her small smile at her grandson. Henry Jr. looked up at his biological mother's mother and felt nervous. Cora sighed and searched for her present that it was a last-minute thing to do around in Portland while Regina was busily managing the town and errands of the citizens. Cora completely understood why Regina preferred that to finish the tasks before the holidays with their family.
It was lucky for Cora to plan out for the Christmas party. It was her idea to make the mystery in the house. For example, Cora wanted to have a masquerades party. It was a perfect one for herself to imagine that Emma was the "Zorro" to her daughter, Regina. Zelena was on the board for that idea and helped her out with a perfect party in their childhood house in Storybrooke.
Cora sat down and handed the present to her grandson and explained.
"It's for the annual Christmas party at my old house in Storybrooke. So, it would be our secret for both of your mothers." Henry Jr. was confused at his age of ten. But he understood immediately. Cora was pleased with his understandings unlike Zelena in her age of ten. Henry opened the present and gasped.
"How did you know that I wanted this mask for Christmas?"
"Oh dear, I know everything since you arrived in the town. so, you can't trick me, right?"
"True. Thanks, Grandma!"
"No, don't call me Grandma. I don't like that term and I prefer if you can call me, NANA, Sounds good?"
"Sure, if you would like me to call you that then it's fine with me. I don't care about the terms."
"No, Henry Jr., it is important for your Nana to know that you call me like that. I would be a happy camper."
"Okay…" Zelena was coming out of the kitchen and heard everything between her mother and nephew. Henry Sr. followed her along until he smiled at his nephew who showed his mask. Cora smiled at her grandson and explained.
"You will wear it when you arrive at the party. Please don't show everyone until you reveal yourself at the end of the party."
"Do we have to wear the masks?" Zelena whined after looking at her father who laughed. Cora stood up from the couch with Henry Jr. and glared at her oldest daughter with a final answer.
"Yes."
"Why!?" The redheaded aunt of Regina's biological son kept whining after her mother. Henry Jr. shook his head and packed his present in his backpack so it won't be seen in front of his mothers. Zelena was hauling away while she was forced to get out of the house with her father behind on her back. The brown-haired boy gave his Nana a heartwarming hug and kissed on her cheek with a farewell.
Cora smiled widely when she received a sweet kiss. She waved her hand at him when Zelena got in her car. Henry Jr. high-fived his grandpa and ran to get his passenger seat in Zelena's car. They finally drove out to Storybrooke to drop Henry Jr. off.
The parents of Mills family waved their hands at them and Cora sighed while turning back to get inside of the house. Henry Sr. took a glance at his wife and knew that Cora was overwhelmed that they had their grandson to share with the Nolans' parents. He shrugged to himself and got inside for a warm embrace.
A few hours later, it was an awful traffic on way to Storybrooke. Zelena took her time to get to know her nephew since she found out that Regina had a biological son with the beautiful goddess, Emma Swan. To herself, she had a little crush on the blonde woman when she was in high school. Regina was clueless when it happened over time.
It was a time when Emma was in Regina's room for Regina's birthday. It was the same night when Zelena opened the door after unlocking it and found Regina showing her uncensored part to the blonde teenager. Poor Regina for getting humiliating over Zelena's witness of everything.
Zelena knew in her mind, she always knew that Regina surely loved Emma long time ago when she finally revealed who she was before the genital surgery. She understood how Regina suffered through when she had a man's part. It was a hard one because Regina immolated her bodily flesh to be a full woman.
But Zelena was proud of what Regina wanted for herself and what she had done to her human being. It was a beautiful sight when Zelena saw Regina coming out of the surgery and she knew that it was a long recovery for Regina to gain her strength to be a true woman. That's what Zelena wanted for her sister and gave up her money to pay everything for her dear sister.
For herself, she was envious of Regina because the brown-haired woman had her successful life being a lawyer in New York City and moved back to Maine, their birthplace to be a full-time mayor for their old town. Now this time, Regina has her own family to share with Emma Swan. It was their biological son that she was clueless for ten years.
Right now, Henry Jr. was there in her car and chattered about his New York City Life along with his mother, Emma Swan becoming a famous Broadway actress. Zelena gathered few conversations with her sister back in the office when Regina went to New York City for seeing Emma on the stage few times. It was a godsend time when Regina came to realize that she was madly in love with the person who was raised in Storybrooke and went to school with Regina since the preschool.
That's how Zelena had her guts to tell a story that Regina IS madly in love with Emma Swan in her whole life. There was no end of the discussion and it's always a period in the end. She just knew that was it. Zelena wondered how it happened between Regina and Emma that day when it exploded in the argument or something's going on between them. She didn't understand the 'why' question.
It's important to understand their point of views on their friendship years ago before graduating from colleges. It was ironic because Regina and Emma were in the same city, New York City at that time. Regina was successfully becoming a lawyer in the process of getting a college degree from Columbia University of Law. Emma was in her attendance at New York University and studying Theatre Arts plus American Sign Language for Deaf Study and Linguistics.
Arriving at the Nolans' residence, Zelena caught Amy making out with her fiancée, Brad out on the front porch and raised her eyebrows high. Henry Jr. was snickering when he got out of the car and ran toward the front door for opening it. Zelena followed him along and cleared her throat to break them apart from their passionate kiss.
"Thank you or a wonderful show, Amy. And, hello Brad, it is nice seeing you again." Zelena smirked when entering the foyer. Amy screamed when she heard Zelena's voice. Brad was blushed at getting busted. They heard Zelena's laughter when they barged in the foyer. They caught Regina and Emma in their own zone of making out in the living room. The doors were halfway closed and the blinds were little slightly see-through. Henry Jr. was in the kitchen for snacks. Zelena cackled quietly. Amy widened her eyes at her oldest sister bending on Regina on the couch while passionately kissing.
They watched Regina moving her legs to hold Emma down on her body and their hands caressed on their bodily flesh. Zelena snickered when it came to Emma's moans. Brad went blushing and fled to the kitchen. Amy was curious how it was going on between Emma and Regina for a long record of making out on the couch and also, she was curious about the lesbian sex work.
Halfway through the continuous caress, the ladies on the couch almost tore their clothes off and Emma was on the top of Regina. They sat up and their tongues dueling in their mouths until it interrupted by Mary Margaret's scream. Zelena and Amy started to laugh harder when the ladies broke apart immediately and covered themselves with their clothes left open to show their undergarments in front of Emma's mother. Regina and Emma blushed in a dark crimson when Mary Margaret scolded them.
Outside of the living room doors, Amy and Zelena hugged each other while laughing at their sisters. Mary Margaret heard the girls outside and scolded them right away. Regina buttoned up on her dress shirt and pants. Emma grabbed her sweater to get it on and cleaned a bit before looking at Regina with her red-face.
Regina gathered her things before pecking on her lover's lips and whispered.
"Later, when you come over to my house tonight." Emma shyly smiled and pecked her back then walked with her to the front door. Mary Margaret threw her hands up in the air and mumbled under her breath.
"Damn sex."
Zelena and Amy started to laugh again when they heard the words from the pixie cut teacher in the foyer and separated themselves away to have their things to do. Zelena went after her young sister and sent a moan through Regina's ears before getting in her car and driving away back to Portland. Regina flipped her middle finger at her oldest sister outside while she was screaming her name in the air and continued to walk back to her house. Emma cackled while watching her lover raging over Zelena's actions and shook her head when she came back to see her son in Neal's room for a brief time before hitting the cold shower.
A/N: Oh didn't I tell you that? Hehe.
