Chapter 10
Regina Mills woke up one morning inside of an extremely soft bed, fit for a queen. Feeling the sheets, she smiled to herself when she felt that both the sheets and her pajamas were silk. Looking around the decor of the room, she saw a beautiful arm chair in the corner of the room, and a fire place directly in front of her. The room was nearly as big as her bed chambers inside her castle, but not quite. She could hardly contain her joy when she looked outside the window and saw a town of people, with a giant clock that ticked, signaling that it was 8:00.
The Queen smiled to herself, happy to see that the blessing had worked. She wondered where her Emma was in all of this. Before she had the chance to find out, she heard the tapping of tiny feet outside her door and saw the girl in question bursting into her room.
"Gina, it worked!" the little girl squealed. She nearly jumped into the queen's arms causing her to laugh at how excited she was. Emma was so happy that the blessing had worked and that she could finally be content with Regina.
Regina planted a soft kiss on Emma's forehead, patting unruly curls. "Yes Emma, it did work. Are you happy?"
Emma nodded. "I'm so happy, I just want to feel loved."
Regina felt her heart constrict at the sound of this. "Oh Emma, I'm so sorry you did not feel loved by your parents. But you know what? I promise you'll never feel anything less than loved." She tapped the little girl on her nose, eliciting a giggle.
When Emma went to play with the queen's hair like she usually did, she noticed it was dramatically shorter than it usually was. "Gina... look at your hair."
Regina's eyebrows furrowed at what Emma was suggesting. What was wrong with her hair? She stepped in front of the grand mirror that stood in the room and caught sight of her hair. "Ahhhhh!" The Queen screamed as if someone cut her head off.
Emma was reduced to a pile of giggles upon seeing Regina's reaction to having shorter hair. She held her stomach, she couldn't stop laughing so hard. There was something hilarious about seeing the woman act so out of character.
Regina glared at the little girl, only making her laugh more. "I do not see what is funny, Emma."
Emma only laughed harder. Holding her belly, she managed to get out, "Gina, you're funny. I must say though, you're still the fairest of all."
This warmed Regina's heart more than words could express. "Thank you Emma, but I believe that is you my dear." She ran up to the little girl and began tickling her, "That is what you get for laughing at me, Swan!"
"Gi-Gi-Gina!" Emma was laughing so hard she felt as if she might pee on herself "St-stop or I'll relieve myself on your floor!"
The Queen immediately stopped. She had no idea what kind of animal was covering the expanse of her floor, but it looked and felt too nice to be ruined with bodily fluids. Pulling Emma back into her arms, she said, "What do you say we explore our new home and then the town a bit, hmm?"
Nodding, Emma said, "Come see my room!" The little girl grabbed Regina's hand and dragged her down the hallway(past many rooms) and into a room that had quite literally hundreds of books inside. Instead of wallpaper, there were books, and instead of carpet there was hardwood that was in sections that could slide easily so Emma could gain access to the books inside.
Regina gasped, "Emma, how on earth are you going to read all of these books?"
Emma grinned, "Gina, I bet I'll have finished all of these in the next year."
The Queen raised her eyebrow at the little girl and scoffed, "I'd like to see you try it."
Emma simply smiled at Regina before grabbing her arm and leading her through the house. From what Regina could see, she quite literally lived inside a mansion. The house was built for a Queen. Once Regina entered what she assumed was the kitchen, she became confused by all of the gadgets inside. "Emma, do you know what this is?" She held up the toaster as she turned the foreign object in her hands.
Emma merely shook her head. "I saw a book in my room with directions on how to operate everything, I should be able to learn everything by tomorrow and teach you."
This made Regina feel better. She didn't know if she liked this seemingly new world or not, but she was going to have to get used to it. "So Emma, why don't you get changed and meet me down here when you're finished? I would cook us breakfast, but I think we both know that I haven't got a firm grasp on much."
Smirking, Emma went upstairs to her room to change her clothes. Regina opened the "metal box" inside the kitchen and saw that it was filled with food. "Kenmore," she read. "I think I like this new kenmore," she said to herself. Deciding to change into new clothes herself, she made the trek up the stairs only to find that there were 7 different doors upstairs and she had no idea which bedroom was her own. "Guess and check never hurt anyone," she mumbled to herself. Regina literally opened every single door before finding that her bedroom was the last one. "Figures."
She was only reminded of how large her room was by entering it through the door. There were two additional doors inside the room, and she figured one must be a dressing room of sorts. Opting for the door on the left, she screamed when lights came on as soon as she walked inside. Her hand flew to her chest, trying to catch her breath. Damn, she hated this new world. Her fear lasted briefly though upon seeing a large room filled with clothing. It was nothing like her wardrobe as queen, but something told her she had been equipped with the finest clothing that was possible.
Regina began sifting through the endless supply of clothing to find a dark red blouse and a black pencil skirt. She unbuttoned her silk pajamas and neatly folded them and placed them on the chair nearby. Slipping on the shirt, she left one button undone so that she could show just enough cleavage but not too much. She smiled when she saw the skirt clung to her curves, but not so tight that she looked like a common whore. When she went to find shoes, she slipped into a pair of black, pointy-toed heels and sighed when she felt that familiar arch in her feet that she was so used to feeling.
Deciding to forgo jewelry completely, she walked over to the dresser and opened one of the drawers and gasped. "Holy shit that's a lot of makeup." There was a lipstick shade for every color of the rainbow, and although the Queen generally only wore red lipstick she was pleased to see there was a wide variety of pinks and purples should she decide to go rogue. She sat down and carefully began applying her makeup, making sure it looked impeccable in case she needed to assert her supremacy over some peasants.
Emma had been waiting in the foyer for Regina, but sighed when she realized the woman was probably putting on her makeup- which took up a lot of her time. Instead of using magic, she preferred to do it by hand. Emma rolled her eyes as she remembered all the times she had to wait for Regina to finish doing her makeup. Noisily stomping up the stairs, she ran into the Queen's bedroom and walked straight into the open closet.
"Ginaaaaaa," Emma whined. "You always take forever to do your makeup."
Smirking at the little girl, the Queen turned around and watched as Emma gasped. "Gina, you're so pretty..."
She kissed Emma on the cheek and wiped away the smudged lipstick from her smooth skin. "Emma, you're beautiful. Look in the mirror." She turned Emma so that she could see herself in the mirror. Long, blonde curls flowed down her shoulders and Emma was dressed in an adorable dress that made her look even cuter.
Emma blushed as she looked at herself in the mirror. "I guess I look okay..."
Regina hugged her, "You look more than okay. What do you say we go get something to eat and look around town, hmm?"
Emma nodded and grabbed onto Regina's hand as the Queen led her out of the house. When they got to the door, Regina saw a set of keys and a purse hanging on a hook next to the door. Grabbing both, she led Emma out of the house and locked the door with the key that fit inside the hole.
Emma was the first to gasp upon seeing what was in their driveway. "Gina, what is that?"
Regina was so used to having an answer for everything, but she had no idea what to say to that. "I don't know dear, but we will find out later. How about we walk?" She suggested, not even worried about the five inch heels she was wearing.
The two began to walk into town where there were actual people. A short man(okay, a dwarf) started to approach the two. Both Emma and Regina were very familiar with this man- Grumpy. He approached them with a woman next to him. To their surprise, he said, "Goodmorning Madame Mayor, Emma."
The two watched as he left with his hands interlocked with the woman next to him. Regina looked at Emma quizzically as if to ask who that woman was and Emma simply responded, "Thats Astrid. His true love."
Shrugging the situation off though slightly irritated that she was not aware of this, Regina and Emma continued walking until they saw a restaurant called "Granny's Diner."
Inside the restaurant, Regina was greeted by a woman with red streaks in her hair, barely dressed. Regina let her eyes wander down her body as she took in the white tank top that was tied just beneath her breasts to expose a toned stomach. She was wearing shorts that showed off her long legs and toned calves. It took Regina a lot of self control to stop herself from hungrily gazing at the brunette.
If the waitress noticed, she never said anything. "Goodmorning Emma, Goodmorning Mayor Mills! I have your usual table ready for you." Ruby led them to a table in the corner of the diner away from all of the people and placed two menus on the table in front of them two. "I'll be back to take your order."
Regina looked at Emma, dumbfounded. "She looks oddly familiar, do you know who that is Emma?"
Emma nodded, "That's Ruby, my mother's best friend." She frowned at the mention of her mother, but didn't elaborate on her discomfort.
Regina figured Emma didn't want to talk about it. Luckily, Ruby came back to collect their orders.
"I'll have the apple pancakes and Emma here will have...?"
Emma thought about what she wanted for a second. "Hmm I'll have the same thing as Gina."
Ruby wrote down their orders and turned to leave before she exclaimed, "Oh! I almost forgot about your drinks. What will you be having?"
Emma seemed to easily make her mind up, "We'll both have hot cocoa with whipped cream and cinnamon!" When Regina started to protest, Emma gave her the best puppy dog eyes she could muster and smiled when she saw it work.
Ruby left to put in their orders while Emma and Regina sat staring at each other. "Gina?"
"Yes, Emma?" That familiar tug at her lips was back as she welcomed another one of Emma's famous questions. She didn't understand why her parents detested her questions so much. The more questions Emma asked, the more intelligent she became. Regina loved that quality.
"Are you happy?"
It was such a simple question, yet such a complex one all at the same time. Regina was going to say no, and give the same reasons she'd been giving ever since Snow White practically killed her lover, but she took one look at Emma and smiled softly, "Yes."
That seemed to appease the little girl as she said, "I'm happy too."
The two seemed to bask in this moment they were having until they were interrupted by the chimes of the door. They both watched as Snow White and Prince Charming entered the diner. Charming held Snow by the waist, who was clearly showing her pregnancy.
Unbeknownst to Emma and Regina, Regina had gotten up and sat next to Emma as a means of protection. They watched as the two idiots said hello to everyone inside the diner and started to make their way over to them.
Snow looked at Regina, and then Emma for a little longer and said, "Goodmorning Mayor Mills and Emma!" Charming repeated what Snow said and it took everything in them not to scoff at the two idiots.
When they left, Regina went back over to her side of the booth and thanked Ruby as she brought their food and hot chocolate. She loved Emma and would do anything to protect her.
