This chapter is for swanqueen927654 with the prompt: "Emma wants to know exactly with how many people Regina has slept back in the Enchanted forest, except Graham. Regina tells her with how many she has slept. Emma is of course jealous, but the bonus part is that Regina has slept with David's twin brother, and when she tells her this part Snow and David are present."

It probably was a conversation that shouldn't have ever happened, but Emma was curious. Her parents were going to be joining them for dinner, and this would be the first dinner with Emma and Regina as a couple.

Snow and David had been supportive of their decision as a couple, and Snow had even let slip that many members in the town had been making bets on how long it would have taken the two of them to admit their feelings.

But shortly after admitting their feelings and becoming a couple, Regina had let slip that there had always been a bit of chemistry with Gold. It hadn't bothered Emma. Or at least so she told herself.

"Penny for your thoughts," Regina said, moving around the kitchen gracefully as she prepared dinner. She had refused to let Emma help, claiming she would burn down the whole kitchen if given the chance.

"I was just thinking about what you said about you and Gold," Emma said. "About you two and your chemistry together."

"You're still thinking about that?" Regina asked. "I didn't realize that it would bother you so much."

"It doesn't," Emma said. "But I am curious. Besides Graham, how many people did you sleep with back in the Enchanted Forest?"

Regina froze in the middle of chopping up an onion. "Why in the world would I tell you that?"

"Because you tell your partner these things," Emma said. "Now come on, out with it. How many people did you sleep with?"

Regina looked up at the ceiling. If she was honest with herself, there were almost too many to count. Seduction was the easiest way for her to get what she wanted back then. The Evil Queen seducing Gold was an active testimony to that.

"You can't remember," Emma said. "You literally can't remember how many people you slept with."

Regina sighed and went back to chopping the onion. "I slept with people to get what I wanted from them. It wasn't like it actually meant anything."

"Still," Emma grumbled.

Regina set down her knife and walked over to Emma, wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist. "Now don't be like that. You're the one that asked in the first place."

"I know," Emma mumbled.

"The reason I don't remember is simply because I usually numbed myself. I just wanted the information that they had, and most people aren't really thinking about what they say in the moment of passion," Regina said. "Even your father's twin wasn't immune."

"You slept with my brother?" David asked from the doorway.

Regina and Emma both jumped, springing apart. "How long have you been standing there?" Regina asked.

"Not long," Snow said. "We only just got here and were going to see if we could help with anything."

"Forget that," David said. "You slept with my brother?"

"How do you think I figured out who you were?" Regina asked. "He let slip that he had a twin, the exact information I needed. When he died and you were on the throne, I knew exactly who you were, what your weaknesses were, and many other things."

David shook his head. "I can't believe that you would-"

"I needed information," Regina interrupted. "I didn't feel anything for him. He had information I wanted. I treated him no differently than I did Hook."

"You slept with Hook?" Emma asked.

Regina winced. "He had services that I required. I needed his pirating skills."

"And you slept with him to get them?" Emma asked.

"Regrettably, yes," Regina said. "I didn't sleep with any of the men I did for any purpose other than my own gain. Revenge is easy when you're willing to do anything to get it."

The room was silent as everyone tried to process what had just happened. Regina was embarrassed, Emma was jealous, David was confused, and Snow just felt awkward.

"Well," Snow said. "Who's up for some dinner?"
