Female Issues

Back at Belle's small apartment she had just cooked Rumple some toast and fried eggs, bacon, beans and toast along with some coffee he now was now eating. It seemed like had been starving as he threw it all down pretty fast. When he was done he looked at her saying, "I missed you, Belle."

"I missed you too, I am so sorry about Baefire, that you couldn't say goodbye or that it could be stopped," she said, coming behind him, resting her hands against his neck.

"She really should be killed for that," his hate shining through his voice.

"No Rumple it is not the right way to do it and you know it," she whispered.

"So you mean I should let her get away with killing him," said he.

"And how many have you killed over the years?" she asked calmly.

"He was my son!" Rumple said, blood boiling in his veins.

"And how many sons and daughters have you killed?" she wondered, adding, "It is not too late to try and make another."

"Oh Belle," he turned his eyes and looked at her, getting up to kiss her deeply, clearly he wanted to have her as much as she wanted him to take her.

In the Mayor's residence Regina and Emma had been going at it as soon as they got in the shower, making it a quickie before they dried each other off.

"Regina?" Emma wondered at she continued to dry her hair.

"Yeah," said Regina and looked at her.

"Your sister, do you think she is able to love Red?" Emma asked looking at her with wondering eyes.

"I honestly don't know, but considering she has a heart I suppose she can," said Regina.

"I just hope she doesn't hurt Red," said Emma with a heavy sigh.

"She is a big wolf, she can take care of herself," said Regina with a shrug, hanging the towel up for drying, and started to walk towards the bedroom. Emma sighed, hoping that Zelena would not hurt her best friend.

It was a few days later that Zelena sat down in the diner, she had spent the night with Red, they had just been watching TV and now she was ready for some breakfast. She sat down and waited for Red to come over, getting a glare from Granny up at the counter. She sighed and let her hand go down in her purse where she pulled up the dagger. She looked at it, letting it twirl between her fingers before putting it flat on the table. She took a deep breath. Before Red all she wanted was revenge of the past she did not have, she wanted to regain it, but now...She put it back in the purse as Belle walked inside, seeing her. She was about to walk over when Ruby Red reached her saying, "Don't do it."

"Give me one good reason not to," said the other brunette, looking at her with fiery eyes.

"Because I have always supported you and Rumple even if I thought it crazy. Support this as I am really getting somewhere with her and if I am then she might not need the dagger or him at all," said Red calmly. At least that was what she hoped, when Henry came inside. He looked at them and Zelena. To their surprise he sat down by Zelena's table. She frowned at the young boy, he should fear her not come to her freely, this was highly surprising.

"Good morning, Zelena," He said polite.

"Good morning, young Henry," she said,putting her book asside.

"I should probably be afraid of you, but I am not," he spoke, looking her right in the eyes.

"I am okay with that," said looked back into his.

"Anyways I wanted you to have something," he said, reaching into the pocket of his pants, pulling up an iPod and pushing it towards her, she looked at it rather confused. She had been in town for a year, but she had never really cared to learn about technology and such. She of course had seen people use them, but...

"I have seen you running around, I thought it would be nice to have music," Henry said and gave her a quick lecture in how it work, the basics. It didn't seem that hard. He slowly got up saying, "You can give it back when you feel you no longer have use for it."

"Won't you miss it?" she wondered, surprised he would give a gift to a complete stranger.

"I have my phone and everything else so not really," he said with a shrug and left her.

Zelena our of curiosity put the plugs in her ears and went through what he had called the play-lists. There if course what the ones called cool music of this and that, but then there was something that surprised her, all things considered as the curse she cast curse and it was not yet broken, still she found lists called, "Grandma, Grandpa, Grandpa Rumple, Granny C Mills, Savior Mix and Evil Mayor Mix."

Granny C Mills, it had to be her mother, only she was under the impression that the two never met could she have been wrong. She put on the list and adjusted the sound, classical tunes, mixed with songs that was older than now. Pretty soon she was singing along, only changing the lyrics.

"If you wanna know if she loves you so, it's in her kiss," came from her throat, a smile on her lips. Red and Belle shook their heads and Belle said, "Congratulations she is in love with you."

"Well if that contains her from killing the whole town I am all for it, I find her adorable," said Red and went back to the kitchen.

Belle was for a moment considering before she sat down at Zelena's table, she didn't speak to her, they just sat across each other reading their books. When Red came over with Zelena's regular order she frowned, but she did not interrupt.

Just then another couple came in arguing, Emma and Regina. Clearly the brunette had done something to upset the blonde as she said, "I cannot get how you can be hot one minute and cold the other."

"I am not," Regina said in her regular stern tone.

"What are we even doing together, even Red and Zelena make more sense," said Emma frustrated.

"I am starting to wonder about the same," said Regina with a huff, her heels clicking against the floor as she was walking towards the counter. Emma looked at her rather hurt.

Belle and Zelena looked up from their books, eying the couple, but they didn't speak, hearing Emma say, "You can be such an ass."

"And you are immature," Regina raised the corner of her lip to a half smile.

"You should know," Emma shrugged at her now.

"Hmm hot chocolate?" Regina asked her.

"Always," said Emma and smiled at her.

"Alright, you heard the lady Ruby," said Regina turning to the waitress.

"To go or to drink here?" Ruby wondered. The two exchanged look before deciding to leave and so they did. Regina going towards her office and Regina to the sheriff's office. Once there the blonde sat down with her legs on the desk, enjoying her steaming hot chocolate with a sight of great satisfaction. To her things were going great at least until she got a text from Regina saying, "I think we should end our current fling."

Emma groaned knowing she now would have to do what Red and Zelena did, court. This was so not after plan, but she was not about to let her go that easy. She knew the reasoning for the text was that the brunette was most likely afraid that it would go too fast too soon. She choose to leave it be for now it was better than to push. Instead she finished her cocoa and turned on her computer to get ready for yet another boring day at the sheriff's office.

Regina on the other hand was sitting in her office. Her mind was railing. She was having doubts, big ones, what if Emma wasn't the right after one, then again all felt right, every single thing. But if that was the case why was the curse not broken, Henry could remember her as his mother. She groaned as she opened his desktop.

The there was this thing with Red and Zelena, who did she think she could fool, her sister would never change, she would use the dagger to do horrid things. Regina just knew this in her heart. Tears as she looked at the background picture on her cell phone, an angry Emma. A finger stroking over it as she whispered, "I want you, but I don't know what to do. Please give me a sign."
