I don't own anything and the same warnings from the other chapters still apply. Will go into Emma and Regina's pasts (violence, rape, bodily stuff).
Emma and Regina drank the cider and started to talk, it was lighthearted at first talking about embarrassing things that happened to them. Emma was surprised when Regina started first.
"When I was seventeen I had an accident when I was with Daniel, my stomach had been feeling really weird after breakfast and riding a horse didn't exactly help the matter. I found out later that that was exactly what my mother wanted. Anyway with every move that my horse made my stomach lurch. When we stopped to give the horses a rest I vomited all over Daniel and myself. I was so embarrassed." Regina said.
"Wow! That's embarrassing, at least it wasn't the other one. That would have been mortifying." Emma said as she took a sip.
"Yeah, I am very grateful for that. I was embarrassed enough." Regina said as she took another sip. She smiled at Emma who was looking at her and smiling.
"I have many embarrassing stories but one that's similar to that was when I first got to Storybrooke, when I first started working at the station. I tripped and fell into the glass door that was to the Sheriff's office and shattered it with my arm and my head. Eight stitches, Graham covered it up because it was so ridiculous." Emma said laughing.
"That was you? I remember being so furious because I had to replace it and I didn't get a straight answer from him. Now that explains it.
"Yeah..." Emma said as she smiled. They sat and drank for a little bit more before Regina looked at Emma with a curious look. "Emma, your past and childhood...was it really bad?" Regina asked suddenly, Emma knew that the more Regina drank the more serious and sad she got.
"Regina, yes but it's ok I have forgiven everything...don't be sad that because of what happened to me." Emma said as she rubbed Regina's back.
"I know but I still feel bad." Regina said.
"I know Regina, but it's ok. I can tell you something that happened to me though if you want, I trust you so much to tell you." Emma asked.
Regina nodded yes as she scooted closer to Emma as when Emma started explaining, "When I was thirteen was when it was really bad, the foster family I was with then. My foster father and mother were ok but the oldest son was a real piece of work, he was seventeen. He liked me because he liked just teenagers. Anyway he would walk into my room as I was getting dressed or just out of the shower, he did a few times walk in on me when I was going to the bathroom. But he sexually abused me the whole time I was there, I wasn't a virgin anymore after living there." Emma explained and that's when Regina closed her eyes and tears ran down her cheek.
"It's ok Regina, I'm safe now." Emma said.
Regina looked at Emma to say I'm sorry but Emma just smiled at her to say 'I forgave you a long time ago.' Emma rubbed Regina's back again then her face, Regina was getting tired but wanted to stay with Emma longer.
"Emma, can I hug you?" Regina asked, her voice coming out in a quiet whisper.
"Of course you can." Emma replied as she opened her arms and Regina just melted into Emma's open arms and held on tight, Emma smelt Regina's hair and loved how it smelt like apples and vanilla.
"Emma..."
