The First Day
Regina
I walked out of the house after breakfast. This family was just so… together. It was starting to weigh on my conscience that Emma and I were lying to them. Well… sort of. I mean we would be gone soon and I wouldn't have to worry about seeing them again except for occasional visits that I am sure Emma will subject me to.
Marriages never last anymore, people break up all the time they won't even get a chance to get used to me before I was gone for good. I had gotten on Emma's computer to begin the paperwork for her to be promoted. as soon as we were back to New York, I would just send them in.
"Momma Gina?" I heard beside me. I blinked and looked down at the boy.
"Regina." I corrected.
"I know," He said. "It's too hard to say with momma in front"
"Then don't call me momma." I said getting down to his level.
"But… You said you are gonna marry my mommy." Henry said confusion in his eyes.
I nodded. "I am," I said sitting next to him on the steps. "But you have a mommy and a daddy right?"
"Yeah." He said
"So you don't need another mom. I can be your Regina." I explained.
"Okay Momma Gina." He said. I gave him a playful glare and he giggled. I laughed along with him. This was one charming kid.
Emma
I had watched Henry walk out of the door and Looked out to make sure that he stayed in the porch. When my eyes followed him out of the window I spotted Regina there and relaxed a little. He wasn't alone. That was the one thing that I was happy about having left Henry here in Storybrooke. The town was small and safe he could play outside like normal kids in a way he will never be able to do in New York.
Regina looked down at my son then got down to his level to talk to him. I watched as she spoke to him and her face and stoic ways softened as she did. She didn't touch him but she smiled and the look in her face just melted me. I bit my lip as I watched her laugh with my child. She had made him giggle. My body began to tingle and I knew there was definitely something there I needed to explore.
"She is good with him." Mom said startling me.
"Yeah, She is." I whispered. "He's coming home with me mom."
"I suppose, I knew that." Mom said running her fingers through her short pixie cut hair. "Can you let Regina know that we will be leaving in a few minutes?"
I looked at my mom with a furrowed brow. "Where are we going?"
"Not you," Mom said. "My daughter in law and I will be doing a bit of a tour of the town. A girls day."
"I'm a girl too." I scoffed.
"Yes but your son wants to spend the day with you, and he is no girl." Mom said.
I sighed, "fine."
"Your dad wants to talk to you too." mom said and my head dropped as I walked out on to the porch.
"Hey Kid, Go get your dinos we're going to story time at the library." I said sending my excited toddler back into the house. Regina stood to face me the smile she had fading little by little.
"I'd love a trip to the library." she said.
"You get to go with my mom, do girly things." I said
"What?" Regina said. "No I don't want to go."
"you have to." I said.
"Why? what are we gonna do."
"you'll go shopping see the historic sites. stop by the magic well."
"I don't want to do any of that!" Regina said.
I looked over my shoulder discreetly and saw my mom and dad staring out at me. At us. "They think we're having an argument."
"We are having an argument." Regina answered folding her arms across her chest.
"Well stop it I really don't need the questioning right now." I said pulling at her arm to uncross them.
"Kiss me then." Regina said. "Pull me into you and kiss me."
I pulled at her and brought her closer. Then I ran my hands down to her hips and pulled her closer still, and I kissed her. She opened her arms out as if she were shocked. Then slowly she brought her arms around me. one palm resting on my lower back and the other on my upper then traveling up to the nape of my neck. when she had me wrapped around, she licked at my lip and then nipped at it pulling my mouth open. He tongue slid into my mouth. I nearly lost my breath right then and there. It felt so good to let her explore my mouth. Then her hand traveled south and cupped my ass.
I stiffened and broke the kiss. I leaned forward and murmured. "You touch my ass again I am going to pull of your finger nails with pliers and make you eat them. okay?"
She chuckled low in my ear and stepped back. She looked at me and wiped at the corner of my mouth. "I think you protest too much. Miss Swan."
"You're lucky you are marrying me Or I'd file a harassment suit." I said and walked away from my fiancee.
She laughed and followed Henry inside. I could hear my dad out in the garden the way he always did when he was home and had to think. He stood back there and putted around (the golfing kind) until he came up with a solution to his problem. Apparently the problem is me as he had summoned me to him. "Hey," I said walking up behind him.
"Hey, Emma."
"You wanted to talk to me?" I said as he swung at the bright orange ball.
"Apparently, I wasn't very forthcoming with you and Regina last night and I have to apologize.. but I didn't even know you were interested in women and now we find out you're getting married."
I nodded, I know that if Henry told me he was getting married like that I might actually have a stroke. So I get his point of view. "That's a start."
"I've been going through my retirement plans here and It got me thinking. Been working so hard here in Storybrooke with our businesses then helping the mayor run this town, It would be nice if I could make sure my businesses were pass-"
"Passed down to some one. I have heard this speech before." I said folding my arms across my chest.
"Hell Emma I've been patient with you messing around in New York playing publisher but you need to come home now. Be with your son and get in this business for good."
"Dad, I wish I could have been that person for you. The kid that stayed home, married who you wanted, and took up the family business. But you can't stand the fact that I find my happiness in an office reading books. I don't care if I am rich Dad. I just want to be happy."
"What about Henry?" he asked
"What about him? He is happy with you and mom. He is coming home with me after this weekend and then he will be with me simple as that."
"I just wish-"
"I don't really care what you want. You know what? Apology not accepted. I have to go, I told Henry I'd take him to the library for story time." I stated and walked away from my enraged dad.
Regina
I spent an entire day with Emma's mother and Granny who is apparently not her grandmother. No one actually knows her real name. Not even she remembers. She is the grandmother of the town.
I hadn't seen Emma at all except when she and Henry just happened to be coming out of the library as the foot tour that the Mayor… AKA Emma's mother had been taking me on had happened by it.
It was eight in the evening and the sun was still out here in Maine. It looked like five instead of eight. It reminded me of home a little. Toronto was still south of where I was standing. But I digress…
Emma's mom took me to a bar. "You better brace yourself, this is where my granddaughter works," Granny said.
I looked at the old woman. "Your real granddaughter?"
"That's right. She is the only one in town that does this and she brings in loads of money." Granny said proudly.
Then the music shifted and there was a spotlight on a stage. "I heard there is a bride to be in the audience!"
Ruby stepped out with a waitress outfit like the one she wore at the mayor's mansion, except there was far more skin than necessary exposed. She began to dance and it was the most vulgar thing I had ever seen. I would hardly call it dance, it was more like an epileptic writhing on heels.
Frankly I had seen epileptic seizures with more grace.
Then she descended upon me. She placed a bridal style veil on my head and proceeded to give me a lap dance. Just then, Emma's ex sat at my right and smirked. Ruby was beautiful really, and her breast in my face were nothing to sneeze at, but I was for a higher class of woman. "You know she won't get off unless you try to touch her."
I looked at him confused. "Isn't the rule not to touch?" I asked.
"Yeah, but Ruby is a freak." Neal said with a laugh. so I put my hands on her thighs and she pushed her tush backward bringing her breast even closer to my face and walked off of me. I felt filthy. I shook my head and stood.
I looked at Mary Margaret and said. "I need some air."
She nodded, and I almost ran out of that place. I took off that stupid veil and sighed looking out at the town in it's twilight. it was finally sunset at almost nine. I closed my eyes against the sun feeling it's rays on my face.
This sleepy little town with incredibly weird people… I would never have guessed something like this knowing Emma. Yes she was witty and sarcastic, but she and her family seemed to be the most normal people in a community of colorful characters.
"There you are." I heard from behind me.
"Yes, here I am." I answered putting on a fake smile. I hated this man.
"How are you holding up?" He asked.
"Oh, I'm fine… Just working on my tan." I said. He chuckled handsomely, made me hate him more.
"Yeah, The Swans can be overwhelming at times." He said nodding. I agreed with him supposing he could give me some insights on the woman I was to marry. "This is a little different than New York huh?"
"Little bit… Little bit." I said then I looked at this man. "You ever been?"
"For a visit once, Brought Henry to Emma when you wouldn't let her up for his birthday last year. I left for a little while, but leaving Storybrooke was always Emma's dream not mine."
"How serious did the two of you get?" I asked curious now.
"Well we dated all through high school and through Emma's College. Her senior year in college, she got Henry, so…"
"And you guys broke it off because?" I asked
He looked truly regretful now. Looking out to the sun set and said somberly. "When we found out about Henry I proposed. I wanted to settle down and raise him together and…"
"She said no…" I answered.
"She wanted to be able to still leave. I couldn't take the rejection so I left instead and I didn't come back for three years."
"You wanted to punish her by rejecting your child?" I asked incredulously.
"Stupid I know. I wasn't even here when he was born, but by the time I got back, She had found that Job in New York and she was gone." He sighed. "Anyway, you're a lucky girl. Emma really is the best woman in the world." then he laughed and shook his head. "You obviously know that already."
"Yes I do…" I said thoughtfully looking at the stars from the darkened sky. "Very lucky."
"Well, again congratulations." he said as the door to the establishment opened again and a few people ambled out. "Oh, looks like Ruby is wrapping it up!" Neal said and walked back into the club.
I peeked in and saw the nearly nude woman dance around a chair. I shuddered and looked back out on the town.
A little later, Mary Margaret and I headed back to the mansion. She laughed, as she spoke of Ruby who had been a friend of hers for years before she knew this side of her. "I had never seen her be so out there. She was in rare form today."
I laughed. "It was rather int-" We were interrupted by the vision of Emma pounding at a Kung Fu dummy at the well lit side patio of the house. she was wearing her ear buds so she didn't hear her mother call as she punched and blocked those bits of wood as they spun. "What is happening?"
"Something's up Regina, it's best if we leave her to blow off some steam." Mary Margaret said as she headed straight into the house. She found her husband in the living room watching some sporting event or other, I wouldn't know which. She picked up the remote, and turned the Television off.
"Hey! I was watching that!" He protested.
"Why is Emma beating the crap out of that old dummy again?" she asked angrily.
"Maybe she's getting ready for a tournament. What?" he said feigning ignorance.
"I'm… I'm tired I am going to go upstairs and wash Ruby's coconut oil off of me." I said
Mary Margaret smiled at me, "Oh sure.. Okay."
"I had a great day today, thank you." I told the mayor. She nodded again and I could tell she wanted to get back to this argument. One that I am so sure is an old one.
"What did you do?" she asked the moment my back was turned.
"I didn't do anything," he denied. "I mean, I just had a frank conversation with her about her future."
"Oh well yeah… that's a good idea… that's a great idea David 'cause she will never come home now." She answered her voice increasing in volume and menace with each word. I was so surprised my steps slowed. "She is my daughter, and I only get to see her every other month for an hour because of you. Because of you. You are gonna be supportive of her marrying Regina and that is that." she argued.
I caught a glimpse of Henry sitting just at the head of the stairs. I stared up at him and put my hands to my lips to signal for him to keep quiet. He looked so sad up there. I went up to him and led him back to his bed. "Will you read to me the story of Emma?" he asked me
I nodded. "Sure, but will you wait for me in your bed? I will be in shortly after I shower."
"Okay Momma Gina." Henry said and headed to his room.
Emma
I walked back into the house, my parents were in the living room arguing about something, more than likely me. So I turned my ipod up higher and proceeded to the kitchen for some water. Refreshed , I walked on up the stairs grabbing a beer on the way. I needed a shower, but no one said drinking and showering were dangerous. My frustrations nicely taken out by that stupid kung fu dummy. I think I got a couple of splinters in my knuckles and elbows.
Regina
This shower was the best thing ever. The water pours down on you like rain overhead and then there are streams from different angles. It relaxed me so much. the steam rose and fogged up the doors, but I didn't care because If I couldn't see out, no one could see in.
That stupid song that Ruby had danced to was stuck in my head. I couldn't get it out. I found myself humming it as I luxuriated in this shower.
Once I was done I stepped out of the cubicle and reached for a Towel… there were none.
Emma
I walked straight to my room and retrieved a towel from the armoire just outside the bathroom door and headed out to the balcony to drink my beer and inspect my knuckles for splinters. I pulled my shirt off glad that my balcony faced the private back yard and had a huge tree growing right in front of it. the cooler night air blew, and made me feel so much better. I took a deep breath, then a swig from my bottle.
Regina
I thought I heard something just outside the bathroom door. "Hello! Hello?" I called out but there was no answer. I opened the door and peeked out wondering if Henry had tired of waiting for me. but there was no one there. then I remembered that one of these cabinets in the room held a towel, so I ventured out of the bathroom.
"Momma Gina?" I heard Henry and I ran back into the bathroom.
"Henry! I asked you to wait in the room!"
"But Can't I wait here?" He asked.
"No, I'm naked. Wait till I come to you okay?" I asked.
"Okay." Henry said and left the room again.
Emma
I found a couple of splinters. I took off my sports bra and pants, as I was headed toward the bathroom anyway. I listened to a little Arrowsmith as I took the last few swigs from my bottle. I sighed picking up my clothes to put in the hamper by the balcony door and headed inside.
Regina
I sighed in relief but needed to compose myself before heading out of the bathroom again. In a breath I ran out of the bathroom and Tripped on the stupid book the kid left behind and crashed into and unbelievably hard body. "What the fuck?" Emma said as the both of us toppled over on to the floor.
"Oh my god, why are you naked?" I asked taking in the view of the goddess beneath me.
"Oh my god why are you wet?" She asked. I stood up in shock just staring at the beauty that is my wife to be. "Oh my god you're showing everything cover it up for the love of god!" Emma protested reaching for the towel she had dropped on the floor.
That snapped me back to reality and I spotted the armoire with the towels and covered myself up. "What's the big deal it isn't like you don't have the same parts." I answered.
"It's different with you. And your nipples are hard." She said.
"There's a chill." I said folding my arms over my chest. "Your nipples are hard too." she mirrored my actions and turned away from me. "Explain yourself please?"
"Explain myself?" she asked. "I was outside!"
"And you didn't hear me when I called?"
"I was listening to music-" she started and interrupted herself. that was an annoying quality. "What are you even doing home? And then you just jumped me out of nowhere?"
"I didn't mean to jump you, your son had come in when I was looking for a towel so I had to send him to his room so I could run to the armoire to get it and I tripped with his stupid book and I fell into you!" I said.
She looked at the book then at me. "My son saw you naked?"
"NO!" I screamed. "You know what? Just go… go take your shower you stink!"
"Yeah yeah…" she said heading in that direction. "Nice Tattoo by the way." She said and closed the door. My god this weekend will be torture.
