Saturday morning arrived and Emma and Regina were at Regina's town home packing up the last few items into boxes. Today was the day that they were moving her things into their home together. Emma was beaming; her happiness simply could not be contained. Regina was beyond excited too but more so from watching her sexy girlfriend lifting boxes with exposed arms.
"Would you like to snap a few pictures love?" Emma laughed as she caught Regina staring once again.
"Believe me I have thought about it," Regina replied not even joking because she could not help it. Emma's arms were beyond sexy.
"Well you sit here and think about it some more while I carry these first round of boxes down to the U-haul," Emma laughed as she headed out the door with a few boxes in hand.
Regina began to tape up and mark a few more when her phone rang. She saw that it was Belle, "Fashionably late as usually my sweet friend," Regina said as she answered.
Belle laughed, "Yeah about that…I don't know if I can make it today…"
"Did Gold call you in early?"
"Um…no…I'm out of town…"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Killian and I sort of…um…" Belle laughed, "We sort of eloped!"
"WHAT?" Regina yelled into the phone.
"We're married!" Belle shrieked.
"Yes, I heard you the first time. What in the hell do you mean you're married?" Regina asked sternly.
"We fell in love Regina! I knew instantly that he was the one so we took off to Vegas and got married!"
Regina didn't know what to say she just stood there in disbelief. Emma walked back into the town home and saw the woman standing there as if she had seen a ghost.
"Babe, what's wrong?" Emma asked and Regina just stood there in shock.
"Gina, are you there?" Belle asked through the phone.
Regina shook her head and handed the phone to Emma walking out of the living room and onto the balcony.
"Hello?" Emma asked unsure of who was on the other end.
"Emma?" Belle replied.
"Yeah, hey Belle what is going on? Regina looks really shaken up."
Belle sighed, "I was wondering how she was going to react. Damn it."
"React to what?"
"Killian and I are married."
"Oh my goodness! Belle that is great I am so happy for you!"
"Aw thank you Emma!"
"You're welcome! Tell my ass of a friend it would have been nice to hear from him!" Emma heard Belle relay the message and Killian laugh.
"He said he's sorry love and that he will call you soon but we were just so caught up in each other and everything…it just happened so fast…"
"Yeah I can completely understand that," Emma smiled as she gazed out on the balcony at her love.
"Okay well I won't hold you up any longer I know that it is moving day. Please tell Gina that I love her and I hope that she can understand."
"I will and I'm sure she will come around."
"Thank you. See you both when we get back in town!"
"Sounds good, have fun you two!" Emma smiled and hung up the phone. She walked onto the balcony and wrapped her arms around her love's waist resting her head on her shoulder. "Talk to me gorgeous."
Regina shook her head, "How could she do something so impulsive? So…stupid."
"It's not stupid babe…"
Regina broke the embrace and turned around facing Emma, "How can you say that? They have known each other for two days and they run off and get married! It's stupid!"
"Well isn't that hypocritical of you? Have you forgotten that we have known each other for a week and we are moving in together? A lot of people would call that stupid too."
"Well we don't have the past that Belle has."
"So?"
"So…Belle has a history of jumping into relationships with men who end up treating her really badly."
"And what the hell does that have to do with Killian?"
"I don't know. I don't know him all that well yet."
"Yeah well I do. He would never hurt her."
"I hope not."
"That's not fair Regina. You know I could say the same about Belle. I don't know her that well either and the way you have described her I don't know if she is going to end up breaking his heart. You say she can have her way with anyone she wants. How do I know she won't do the same thing to him?"
"So now you are calling my best friend a slut?"
"I did not say that Regina."
"Sounds like you did."
"Well it isn't any better than you implying that Killian is going to beat her and leave her one day."
"Don't put words in my mouth Emma." Regina snapped and stormed past the blonde into the townhome.
Emma shook her head and followed behind her. "What is happening here? Why are we fighting about this?"
"Because I don't see this ending well."
"That's not our problem. They are adults and they made a decision about their lives. If it doesn't end well then we can be their friends and support them. But as their friends we also should support them in this just like they have been trying to be supportive with us."
"You don't understand…"
"Well then help me!" Emma shouted losing her patience.
"Maybe this is a mistake."
"What?"
"Us…this…moving in together so soon…maybe it's a mistake…" Regina bit her lip and looked away from Emma not able to make eye contact.
"Hey…don't say that. I know you are upset right now but we know that we are real and that we want this. Don't let your emotions about them cloud your judgment about us."
"It's not Emma. If anything its helping me realize that we are moving way too fast."
"Regina…no…" Emma closed the space between them and tried to hug the woman.
Regina backed away, "I'm sorry Emma I just need some time to think."
Emma felt her world crashing down around her and she stood in front of the woman trying not to lose her composure.
"Okay…um…well I will bring those boxes back up then and take the U-Haul back I guess."
Regina nodded biting her bottom lip.
"Right, well let me know when you have had enough time to think." Emma said sternly as she walked out of the apartment.
Regina heard the door slam shut and collapsed on the floor.
