Ok guys. Here is chapter 2! Enjoy!
Also, im looking for someone to read over my chapters before I post them and look for grammatical errors or maybe throw an idea in or tell me if it sounds terrible before I post it. So, let me know if you are interested!
This chapter is "M" rated!
Again, I do not own OUAT.
"Hi Emma." Two words and thats all it takes for me to break. Next thing I know im sobbing to the ground as Regina rushes to me. Her arms are around me, embracing me, comforting me. I cry for the past 10 years that we could have tried and worked things out. 10 years that Regina, Evelyn and I could have been a family. I could have watched her grow. I could've been the first person to hold her. Hear her first words. Teach her how to ride a bike. Holidays. Birthdays. First day of school. I missed it all.
Regina though doesn't say anything. She just holds me and lets me cry. I make a promise to myself that no matter what pain she caused me all those years ago, that I now had a child that I needed to be strong for. I would also ask for forgiveness for not sticking it out and trying to make her see the truth instead of just bolting through the door at the first sign of trouble.
I pull back from Regina once I have calmed down and I know I must like a mess. Regina though, all she does is cup my face with her hands as she wipes my tears away with her thumbs. And she just smiles sadly at me. I missed her smile. I miss being comforted by someone.
"Im sorry." I whisper to her. The look she gives me makes me know that she knew I wasn't apologizing for crying, but for everything. Yeah we needed to talk things out and figure what to do but for now, it was enough.
"I am too." We both laugh gently we when realize how ridiculous we must look. Both kneeling on the pavement, crying our eyes out. I slowly stand and then help Regina up. I dont let go of her hand as she's leveled with me. Being here with her gives me butterflies all over again. I want to be mad you know? I want to storm away. I want to yell at her but at the end of the day wha will that accomplish? We will still both be hurt and also Evelyn might be hurt and thats the last thing I wanna do.
"I should probably get going." I try to make myself sound final and firm but it falls to deaf ears. We could both tell it wasn't what I wanted.
"You could stay, you know? I mean its just its late and I would hate for you to drive this late. Maybe we could talk?" Regina rushes to say. Never once had I ever heard her unsure of her own words. I pause. Not really sure what im supposed to do now. I mean there is no way I can stay in a house with her. It would be weird and then you have Evelyn and oh my god, does Cora live here too? Yeah, its best I head home.
"Nah, its ok. I don't think ill be getting any sleep tonight anyways."
"Emma. Stay. Please. I cant let you drive this late." Regina pulls out what im guessing is her "mom voice" and I have to give it to her, it works.
"Ok, I guess I could use some sleep." Regina lets go my hand and turns to the house. I start to take in everything. The house is beautiful. Nothing is out of place. Its perfect. Stepping inside makes me smile though. It feels like a home. There are pictures everywhere of Evelyn. Some Regina is in and some Cora are in. They all look happy. I can't but feel a sting though knowing that ive been miserable for the past 10 years and she's been happy.
"How would you like a glass of the best apple cider you've ever tasted? Since you plan on staying the night."
"Got anything stronger?" If we are going to have this talk now I don't want to be a hundred percent sober. Regina heads over to the liquor cabinet and pulls out some glasses. As she busies herself with the drinks I try not to stare. Well I try not to get caught staring. It doesn't seem to work though. As soon as my eyes slide down to her ass she turns around. She doesn't comment but I know with the smirk on her face that she noticed it.
"Its a nice house you have." Oh god. Its a nice house? I haven't seen her in ten years and thats the best I could come up with?
"Thank You." Oh, really with the small talk. Right as im about to speak we hear heels clicking down the stairs. Cora steps into the room and bids Regina a goodnight. She turns to me and nods her head.
"Emma. Its good to see you again." I literally have to stop my jaw from dropping to the floor. Never in a million years would I have ever thought those words would come out of her mouth.
I really didnt know what to say so I just nod and look down. Hoping that some hole would just swallow me up. I cant help but feel angry again though. Cora was the one that came between us. She is the one who lied and tried to buy me off after. I hear Regina walk her mom to the door and come back and take a seat.
"Didn't the Mayor used to live here?" I ask.
"Yes, he actually retired and moved to Florida. But technically its still the Mayors house you could say."
"You're the Mayor now?" I cant help but sound a little impressed. Never would I had thought she would ever be mayor.
"Yeah, it kindof just happened." She pauses after. Im not really sure if she planned on saying something else or not but I couldn't wait any longer without knowing the truth.
"Is she mine?" I blurted out. I knew it was pointless to ask but I had to hear her say it. Never once did I think I could have kids. I honestly never thought I would want them. My childhood was already a disaster and I had no role model and I sure as hell wasn't a good one so why would I ever think I could do it?
"Yes." Thats it. One answer that changed everything. The words I had been waiting for all night. I was officially a parent. It was no longer just me. I had someone else who would depend on me and that scared the shit out of me.
"How could you?"
"Emma-"
"No! How could you keep her form me?! After everything. You knew what it was like for me growing up with no parents. You knew how bad that messed me up. How could you willingly keep her away from me?"Any rational person would think that this isn't Regina fault, and yeah they are probably right but im not exactly thinking straight.
"Emma I tried to find you I swear-" I cut her off again.
"No, I dont want to hear your excuses. You knew Boston was it for me Regina. Are you seriously telling me that the resources you have and who your mom and dad are that couldn't pick up the phone and call and let me know?"
"Oh you mean the phone number you got rid of when you left town? You couldn't get out of here fast enough Emma. The first sign of trouble and what to you do? You ran! Was I supposed to just chase you? You left me!"
"Yeah and who was the one who told me to leave? Who was the one that practically pushed me out the door? What was I supposed to do? Stick around in a town where everyone thinks im a freak? Was I supposed to be your little secret that you kept on the side when mommy wasn't watching? No one would've cared that we were together except for you and your mother."
"Quit bringing mother into this! This is between you and me."
"Oh, you mean its has nothing to do with the fact that your mom tried to pay me off and you believed that I took the money."
"Well what was I supposed to do Emma? She comes to me and shows me the deposit and that it was in your name and the pictures. What was I supposed to think?"
"You were supposed to trust me. Give me the benefit of the doubt. You weren't supposed to turn your back on me. You abandoned me first. Yeah I may have ran, but you were the one who forced me out the door."
"I made a mistake ok. I knew that 5 seconds after you walked out. Emma, I am so sorry. I want you to be in Evelyns life. I want you to be here with us. She deserves to know just how great her other mother is. And you deserves to see just how special she is."By now Regina has moved to sit beside me. She takes my hands in hers and squeezes them. I cant help but be pulled in by her words.
"I dont know what im supposed to do here Regina. I dont know how we get past this. I am so mad still. I think I need time to figure things out. Im not saying I don't want anything to do with Evelyn but I need to figure this out and I need a breather." So many thoughts are running through my head right now that I'm not sure what to do. "I think I should go though and stay at the bed and breakfast."
"No Emma I told you that you can stay here. Its really no problem."
"I cant Regina. I just... I need to get out of here. Im not leaving for good but I just need time to sort this out." I stand and walk to the front door. Regina right on my heels.
"Emma, wait!" I stop with my hand on the door. I cant turn to face her. I know that if I do that I won't leave and im not sure thats what we need right now. We both need time apart. You would think ten years apart would be enough time apart.
"EMMA!" a little voice yells out. Both Regina and I turn back and Evelyn is running down the stairs.
"Evelyn! Youre supposed to be in bed." Regina scolds her but the kid pays no mind as she barrels into me.
"Emma, you can't leave. You cant!" Evelyn sobs into my stomach as her arms are wrapped tight around me. I look to Regina with wild eyes. What are you supposed to do in this situation?
"Hey kid, its ok. Dont cry. Please." I pat her on the shoulder awkwardly not knowing what else to do. Regina gives me a look that say "Is that the best you can do?"
I roll my eyes as I crouch down so im face to face with Evelyn and lift her chin gently with a finger and look into her eyes. I know that this kid has me wrapped around her finger already. Just like how her mom used to be.
"Come on kid, dry those eyes." I try smiling hoping it will make her feel better.
"But you're going to leave now and you'll never come back." Oh man, this kid is killing me.
"Hey, its ok. Im not leaving you." I reassuringly tell her. Her eyes slowly rise to meet mine and I smile gently at her.
"You're not?" Evelyn ask me timidly.
"Nahhh. I kindof like you so I'm thinking I need to stick around for a little while." Her smile then lights up her whole face."But Evelyn, I do live in Boston ok? I need to talk with your mom and we gotta figure things out. But I promise you, im never not going to be in your life, ok?" Evelyn nods her head and then throws her arms around me again. This time I hug her back just as tight. "Alright kid, you better get to bed before your mom gets on to both of us." I look up to Regina and she is smiling softly at us.
Evelyn takes off running back up the stairs and right before she gets out of sight she yells out, "Goodnight Momma!" and then she pauses for a bit, "Goodnight Mom." She darts off. Both Regina and I are frozen in our spot.
"Please tell me that really happened?" Regina lets out a soft laugh. Then I think how hard this must be for her and I cant imagine it. "Crap, im sorry. I havent even thought how hard this must be for you to. You are now having to share your kid with someone else after raising her for so long and-"
"Emma?" she makes me pause.
"She's OUR daughter."
"Right heh. Thats gonna take some getting used to."
"You'll get there. Plus, im sure Evie will be there to remind you every step of the way. But please, the bed and breakfast is closed by now and im not letting you sleep in that contraction of a car you have out there. Please stay in the guest room tonight. Please."
"Ok," Regina shows me a smile again and walks towards me. She comes to stand right in front of me and I can feel the heat from her body. I can smell that distinctive perfume that she still wears again and that familiar pulsing comes back. Her hand reaches towards me and for a minute i cant help but want her to touch me. Its been so long since ive had this longing for someone. Actually its been 10 years since ive longed for anyone. Its always been her. Her hand then goes behind me and I hear the sound of a lock turning over and just like that I let out the breath ive been holding in. She smirks a little and she's still leaning in towards me.
"Follow me and ill show you to the guest room." She turns and walks up the stairs. I follow her as I try to keep my breathing under control. I should not be feeling like this. Its like high school all over again and I cant control my hormones around her.
After Regina showed me where her and Evelyns room were she showed me the guest bedroom that looked more like a five star hotel room. It had an attached bathroom that she showed me where everything was to use, toothbrush and all. She quickly left after that and as the door closed all I did was fall back onto the bed groaning. How could life for me never be easy? Then my mind drifts off to Regina and how great she looks. I never knew a dress could look that good on anyone.
I can feel myself get harder as I groan and push my body harder into the mattress, trying to will some of this away. I shouldn't be getting turned on with my kid just a few doors down.
Finally I get up and decide I need a shower. Everything is so fancy in here. There are soaps and fresh towels and even a bathrobe that looks like its never been used before.
I turn the water on and start to undress. I cant help but look at myself in the mirror and stare. Being a bail bonds person keeps me fit and it shows. Im proud of my body. I work hard to keep it this way. I kind-of have to with all the junk food I eat on a daily basis. As I pull my pants down and my compression shorts and boxers I cant help but stare again. Only this time I couldn't help but stare at the member between my legs. Long gone are the days where I felt ashamed to look at it.
The steam from the shower breaks my concentration and hop in and adjust the water pressure. It feels so good that I am tempted to turn the water on cold but I cant seem to make myself. I run my hands over my body and cant help but feel the excitement running through my body. It feels like its on fire.
I slowly wrap my hand around myself and I cant help but groan at the feeling of relief. I brace myself against the shower wall as the water drips down my body. It felt wrong to be doing this but I didn't care anymore. It had been so long and I couldn't help it. My breath became ragged as I start to jerk faster. I can see the pre cum leaking out as I jerk myself harder. I cant help but wish Regina was here and I could see her. What it would be like to feel her skin against mine. Would she still be as tight as she used to be? Would she moan my name as I took her against the shower wall as our bodies rub against each other. What would it feel like to have Regina walls tightening around my cock as I push harder and faster. I lean my shoulder against the wall as one hand works fast against my cock and the other goes to my mouth so I won't moan. I close my eyes again and flashes of Regina play in my mind and thats all it takes for me to cum against the other side of the shower. I slow my movements as the relief shoots through my body and I try to calm my breathing.
Once I'm finally able to stand straight I make sure the shower wall is cleaned and no proof is left as I finish washing off and turn the water off. I dry myself and make my way to the bed as I dress myself in my tank and boxers. I turn the lights off and lay down finally feeling relief of this day being over. I feel like this day has turned into weeks instead of the few hours it has been. Slowly I let sleep take me away as my eyelids slowly close as my final thoughts on the two people just down the hall from me and how I cat wait to wake up tomorrow.
Ok guys, how is it? Leave me a review! It truly does help with knowing where to go in the storyline!
