Hello beautiful people of the world! First of all I am pretty sorry for not uploading sooner but I've been busy with some University stuff. But without further ado, let's get started.
*****WARNING. THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND M-RATED SCENES. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.******
Emma has been staring at Regina for quite a long time, she didn't even know if the older woman was staring back or was just lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, Emma saw Regina turning around and getting into her car. She didn't know what to do, though. Grab her bike and just follow her like a psycho stalker or just leave and try to learn more about her, from Cody?
She really wanted to explore that woman so much. She knew that her secret would be something none has ever though of and she was also, pretty sure Regina wouldn't hurt anyone. She sighed and left checking on her phone casually. Cody had called many times but she wasn't in the mood of talking to him. And the worst part was that she didn't know why she was acting like that.
"No, no, this is insane. These thoughts about that woman are going to drive me crazy.. like… damn it. What's wrong with me? Why would I want to get to know her so desperately? She's nothing more than Cody's stepmother...Stepmother...sounds too formal and too old for her. She's barely… 30? God, I don't know..." Emma kept thinking until she got home. Her parents were not there and she had plenty of time to think about Regina and what happened today. Should she tell Cody? No, no she wouldn't. Wanting to talk to somebody, she called her best friend, Ruby. She was working that time of the day but the blonde knew her bestie would be there for her no matter what.
"Ahoy little Swan!" A happy voice was heard over the phone and made Emma smile widely. She was laying on the couch watching some spongebob episodes and eating cookies.
"Hey Ruby! How are you?" She asked her friend and Ruby understood immediately that something had happened.
"Half an hour. Here. Waiting." Ruby snapped and hang up. Emma knew that whatever her friend said was an order. She may was compulsive but she had helped her countless time and the other way around. When Ruby left home, when she was still 16 years old, she had none else but Emma. Emma had put aside everything and everyone and stood up for her more than Ruby's parents ever did. So as the years passed, they had created a bond so strong none could ever break them apart.
So, Emma put on her shoes and went to find Ruby.

Regina arrived at work later than she expected. Of course, she was the boss of her own company but that didn't give her the right to be late at work or anything similar. Opening the door to her office she saw a pretty unpleasant surprise.
"Good morning, Regina." A man said and she sighed.
"It was. Until I came here." She replied and the man stood up and tried to keep calm. Regina shook her head pathetically and took a deep breath.
"You were there before, weren't you?" He said almost whispering. Regina tried to avoid eye-contact and looked outside of the window.
"No. I was just… passing by." She said but neither believed that reply.
"The deal was made a long time ago, sweetheart. You should have been more careful. And remember… you try to approach him again and your amazing 'new' family is over. Along with your old one." He said and went to the door.
"I can't go a day without seeing him! Please!" She begged and stood up trying really hard not to cry. It was his time to shake his head pathetically.
"You get to see him once a week. Isn't that enough?" He mocked and left. Regina stood there still being mentally unable to do anything. She felt pretty alone that moment. Maybe because she was. Jack and Cody would hate her so much if they learned the truth and the funny thing was that Cody was right after all. He had been complaining that Regina was a liar and she was hiding something. Well, more like hiding someone…
Many years ago, Regina was deeply in love with a girl. None knew about it, though and they were pretty happy and fine together. Of course they had been hiding but at least they were together and that's what mattered to them. Unfortunately, this happiness didn't last long, as Regina's girlfriend had a terrible car accident. She didn't die, but she had been in a comma since then. They needed plenty of money for the medical equipment and Regina tried to work. She met a man that told her she could be very very rich if she followed his orders. Of course, Regina being naive and young she followed his orders. She was payed of course. But not the exact way she dreamed off. He was a pimp and he made her get laid with several men per day. Then, when she was done with everyone, he let her take a shower and then he would rape her.
She once tried to escape, but what actually happened was to get caught and raped to the point she couldn't even stop bleeding.
Several months later and after seeing she couldn't do her "work" right as many men had been complaining that she was too lame and she wasn't payed well. Later, it was discovered that she was 3 months pregnant. The man insisted on aborting, but Regina denied several times. Of course she gave birth to an amazing baby boy and she called him Henry, just like her father.
The man took the baby away from her but she couldn't do that to Henry. Seeing that Regina was not 'that good for them' anymore, he let her go but with some conditions; She gets to see Henry once a week and she gives him some of the money she owes him from her past. The sad thing is that she never heard of her girlfriend again, cause he made Regina choose between Henry or her. The brunette was told that she was okay and had moved on and that she had to do the same. Now, she was stuck, unable to do anything but follow orders.
All these thoughts had been on Regina's mind all these years, creating nightmares that unfortunately were alive and haunting her. But everything was making sense when she met Emma. Bringing her on her mind, she made her smile and think brighter. Yesterday she didn't even know her and today she was just running on her mind. But she was scared, too. She truly loved Jack and she was willing to have moved on with him, but she has too scared to feel the same things she felt for her girlfriend. Luckily, Jack wasn't a part of the deal she had made. When she met Jack she truly wanted to change. Leave her past behind and just move on, despite the deal. Indeed she did. Regina was giving the man his money but still, that change...wasn't her. She wasn't feeling comfortable with Jack. She'd rather have a woman by her side. And her son.
Since yesterday, though, that 'woman' was more specified. And that was the scariest part of everything. That woman, was her stepson's girlfriend and even though she wanted to deny it, Emma was straight. She really didn't know exactly if this was 'love' but it was definitely more than lust. Regina was scared, though. She didn't want to feel the same way she felt for her girlfriend, but she was almost sure she had started to.

A couple of hours later, after Ruby had learned everything, she was shocked by every thing Emma was stating.
"Ya mean that … you might be in love with this Regina woman?" She asked. Emma opened her eyes widely.
"Ruby, no. This is not love. I mean… how can I even fall in love with a woman? It's never happened before." Emma replied and Ruby rolled her eyes.
"Dude, are you fucking serious? Like mister Cupid's gonna ask you, 'heya, swan, what's up bruh, today you're gonna meet a woman but you know, take the arrow yourself, I'm not throwing'." Ruby said and Emma laughed.
"I'm just saying that I'm in a relationship with HER STEPSON. And I'm supposed to love Cody. Not have weird thoughts about ….Regina." She smirked and put her hands on the table and laid her head on them closing her eyes. Ruby took a deep breath and touched her hands.
"Emma, sunshine. If you decide you like her and stuff or at least… you feel something weird about her, it's not only your fault. Like… you never plan these things. You happen to meet someone and then you just boom, he or she clicks you. I mean… she must have something that you liked when you saw her. And as you told me she must be one hell of a woman." Ruby said and Emma grinned bringing her back on her mind.
"I've never felt like this before. For a woman…" Emma replied quietly and looked at the time before Ruby could speak.
"Holly cows, gotta go and pick Neal up. See ya later. And thanks!" She said and hugged her bestie as she ran out and rushed to the kinder-garden.
Arriving, Neal was just coming out of his classroom running into Emma's arms and she hugged him tight. As she took her hand and they both turned around she saw Regina approaching Henry looking around constantly and kind of scared. Emma frowned and hesitantly went closer.
"Hey!" She said and Regina turned around terrified. They made that eye-contact again. But this time it was more powerful. Like the brunette wanted to tell something to Emma.
"I.. didn't mean to scare you..." She said whispering and Regina cleared her throat.
"It's okay, miss Swan. I get it." She replied and Emma frowned.
"Emma. Call me Emma." She stated and they both looked at Henry's direction while Neal was trying to tie his shoe lashes.
"You know, Em-ma, I would appreciate it, if you didn't tell anyone about this …" Regina said and Emma frowned.
"Yes… I … I won't tell a single soul. But…you seem like you need help." She said and Regina laughed at the blonde's ignorance.
"Trust me… help is the last thing I need. And I'm pretty sure you're far away of providing me with what I need." She snapped and turned around.
Even though that sounded too sexual, Emma knew Regina needed love. Love, trust and a hug to bury her face into the others' neck and cry. Let it all out.
"Try me. You never know what I can provide someone with." The blonde said and smirked. She truly caught the older woman red handed.
This time, the eye-contact was rough. In a magical way, they both knew they wanted to crash their lips together. Regina saw in Emma's eyes that power and that trust she hadn't seen in a while. And Emma saw that Regina needed back her feelings. She didn't know how she'd lost them but she was pretty willing to give them back to her.
Regina smiled at Emma's reply.
"We'll see about that." Regina said.
"Oh, was that a threat?" Emma asked.
"No dear. A promise." The brunette replied and Emma smiled as Regina got in her car and Emma left with Neal.
Okay, people this is the new part. I am truly sorry for the late update, seriously I'm busy all day and I only have free time late at night. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed. Love you xx.
