Chapter 5
"Mom." Henry said yelling as Emma looked up see a very surprised Henry and Snow staring down at her and Regina. Regina looked up and then jumped off Emma. They looked like a couple of teenager being caught making out.
"I should be going." Regina got up and starting to leave.
"No I think you should stay, I think you two need to have a talk with your son. Emma, I will call you in the morning, good night." Snow said walking out the door.
"It's ok we don't need to have the talk. I really do not need any details. I am a smart kid, I can put things together pretty well on my own. I totally understand, all I want to know is when mom will be moving in." Henry said walking into the kitchen.
Regina sat down on the couch next to Emma. "What was that all about?" Regina asked confused.
Emma took a deep breath, "I think, they think we have a thing." Emma said unable to look at Regina in the eye.
"What kind of a thing." Regina said trying to get Emma to look at her.
"You know a thing, a thing that grownups do together. You know what I mean please don't make me say it."
"Oh, no wonder Snow was being so weird when you were sick." Regina started to laugh.
"Ok this isn't funny at all." Emma said looking over at Regina
"It's kind of funny. I think Snow already gave me her blessing. In her weird sort of it Snow way. She said if I hurt you, she would destroy me. " Regina said laughing
"That doesn't sound like a blessing." Emma said looking confused.
"She didn't say stay away from my daughter and she left me to take care of you." Regina said smiling.
"Ok so everyone thinks we have a thing, this isn't going to be weird at all." Emma said getting up starting to walk around. Regina got up and made her sit back down.
"It's fine what do you care what anyone thinks," Regina said.
"I don't it's just…" Emma trailed off, unable to explain what she was feeling.
"Because I am a woman or because I am the woman who destroyed your life." Regina said trying to get a read on Emma.
"Cause you destroyed my life." Emma looked at Regina sheepishly.
"'I can't begin to explain how sorry I am for what happened to you." Emma could tell Regina was not lying when she said it. "We could just go back to the way things were before. That way you don't have to feel different around your family."
"I don't want that, I want us to be friends. I want Henry to have you in his life. I kind of like having you around. Who cares if everyone thinks there is more going on than friendship. I like being your friend and I know there is small part of you that likes me too. So can we please just keep trying to be friends?"
"I haven't had a friend in a very long time; yes I would like to be friends." Regina reached out her hand and Emma shook it. Henry then came running into the room.
"So when are you moving in?" He asked again looking up at both his moms. Regina was about to tell him she wasn't when Emma cut her off.
"She already has." Emma said then Henry jumped and hugged them both.
"This is the greatest day of my life. I'm going to let you guys have some private time. Call me when dinner is ready." Henry said getting up to go to his bedroom.
"What the hell was that?" Regina yelled at Emma.
"He was so happy that you would be here with us all the time, how could I tell him no?" Emma said smiling.
"Why not my place, it's bigger with multiple beds." Regina said shaking her head.
"It's cold and stuffy, with too many bad memories. This is a new place and we can make new memories like a real family," Emma said.
"We just had a talk about how everyone thinks we are gay. Now you go and have me living with you in a tiny 2-bedroom apartment. Are you trying to tell me something Emma?"
"You called me Emma,"
"People usually call their friends by their first names."
"It's just so weird hearing you say it."
"Quit changing the subject."
"Yes I want you here with us, you belong with us ok. You don't belong locked away in some stuffy prison you made for yourself. That's what that place has become. You belong here in this tiny ass apartment with us because like it or not, your family. And I am not letting you go back to being alone." Emma then then felt dumb because she had no idea why she calling them family.
"Emma, are you trying to hint at something."
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Really, no idea huh?"
"Nope."
"So you think it's totally ok that your mother, my mortal enemy, thinks we're a couple. That we live together and raise our son in a tiny 2-bedroom apartment. Next your parents will want to know when you're going to knock me up." Regina said shaking her head.
"What."
"I just don't think people who are just friends have these problems; maybe there is something else you want to tell me."
"I was taking about the part where you said I could knock you up."
"Oh yeah you have magic, I have magic, magic equals magic baby, only if there is true love involved though."
"What the hell are you taking about, babies, true love; you stopped making sense after quit changing the subject."
"Snow has to think that we are each other's true love, otherwise Snow would be here kicking my ass, or sentencing me to death for deflowering her baby."
"Ok first of all I had Henry, trust me I have been deflowered multiple times so you wouldn't be deflowering me."
"I knew that, well not about the multiple times part. That still wouldn't stop Snow for putting me to death for it though." Regina rolled her eyes, and almost looked jealous. Emma kept going on pretending she did not hear the last part.
"Second I will just explain we are friends who live together and are co-parenting a son."
"Nope doesn't sound gay at all, I am sure they will totally understand."
"We both decided that we don't care what anyone thinks. So let them think you're my girlfriend. For once let's do the right thing for our son, no more fighting, well not so much fighting. "
"Ok there are still only two beds here."
"I will sleep on the couch."
"I can't let you do that it's your home."
"Well it was my idea; I will sleep on the couch till we find a bigger place that you like."
"Or we could just move into my place with the multiple rooms with multiple beds."
"No, it's not a home, too many bad memories for all of us, you need a clean break."
"I don't want to do this."
"Ok well pretend you're trying to be a grown up and want to make your son happy, where do you think he wants to live."
"No need to be snarky Emma, I think Henry would chose to be anywhere you were."
"No I think he wants to be with both of us, but the only happy memories he has is of us, is here together not in the creepy white house from hell."
"Fine I give up you win, you always win." Regina said crossing her arms and rolling her eyes. Then her eyes lit up and she smiled.
"You're plotting," Emma said grabbing Regina by the shoulders and looking into her eyes.
"That's your evil scheming face."
"You really think I already have a plan to trick you into moving in with me. You just sprung the whole thing on me 20 minutes ago."
"That brain of your is constantly moving 20 steps ahead of everyone else, your exhausting to keep up with even when your being good. I still have to watch you like a hawk."
"Really you don't trust me at all."
"Ok we may be friends, and you might really be trying but that doesn't mean I trust you. That is something you have to earn."
"Probably for the best, how much fun would it be if I gave up all my old ways?" Regina smiled up at Emma, this time it was a real smile.
"Stop that."
"What"
"Stop trying to be cute it's not working."
"I have been called many things but never cute. You think I'm cute Emma." Regina said getting within inches of Emma's face.
"Stop it, you're being tricky knock it off. Stop getting so close your being weird on purpose. " Emma said letting Regina go and backing away from her.
"It's fun to make you so nervous." Regina said laughing
"I am not nervous, your just you and I know better than anyone what your capable of so knock it off."
"I don't think you have ever backed away from me."
"Knock it off I mean it."
"That sounded almost desperate, what are you so afraid of?" Regina said rising an eyebrow.
"This is pointless, you're staying here with us, were not moving in with you. So whatever you have going on in there." Emma said pointing to Regina's head "It's not going to work. Besides, I'm still not 100% so give me a brake today. We can go back to our usual banter when I am better. You know I hate you, you hate me. Maybe being friends was pushing it a bit. " Emma said sitting back on the couch and turned the TV. Regina sat down next to her.
"Fine." Regina rolled her eyes. Emma just ignored her and pretended to watch TV.
Do not give into her games she is just playing with you. She is just trying to get what she wants by any means necessary. She does not care how you feel, you are a means to an end, never forget that. She will end up hurting you. She may have somehow fooled everyone else but you cannot trust her no matter how much you want too. Emma thought, while Regina just stared at her.
"So you think I am cute."
"It's a figure of speech; you don't have to take it so literally." Emma said still refusing to look at Regina.
"So you no longer want to be my friend that was quick."
"Are you going to stop with the creepiness?"
"You don't really think I am creepy." Regina asked starting to fidget a bit. Emma did not respond she keep looking at the TV.
"I will stop, you w..."
"Don't say it, it's just going to start a whole new round of conniving and my head and hand hurts too much right now." Emma said as she rubbed her head.
"Where do you keep the pain meds, I will go grab you some." Regina said getting up and heading into the kitchen.
"In the cupboard above the frig." Emma yelled. Regina grabbed the Tylenol and a glass of water and handed both to Emma.
"I didn't mean it, I still want to be your friend, and I just wanted you to stop." Emma then grabbed Regina's hand.
"It's ok I was just trying to push your buttons, I somehow forgot you have been sick. Although you haven't been acting all that sick today."
"Listen it was a low blow, about not being friends I'm sorry."
"I was being a jerk; I wouldn't want to be my friend ether." Regina said breathing deeply.
"We need to be friends, and we need to start being a team. So can you promise me that we will stay here until we find a bigger place not the hell house, and no more weirdo behavior?"
"Ok"
"Thank you," Emma said then got up and went to the bedroom to figure out how to dress and undress herself without help. She finally got her jeans off all by herself and opted not to put them back on, instead she found some old shorts to wear. Emma was just happy that the intoxicating woman was away from her. Emma was having a hard enough time with her feelings. She did not need Regina scheming to make her believe things that were not true. While Emma was doing that, Regina made dinner. The trio talked and laughed during their meal. Henry asked all kinds of questions about her hand and thought the stiches were cool. After they ate, Henry wanted to watch a movie as a family. They watched the movie and then both women tucked Henry into bed. Without a word, Emma took a pillow and blanket and headed for the couch. Regina followed her, and sat down on the sofa right next to Emma.
"You can sleep in your own bed."
"It's ok really I'm tired and we have a long day tomorrow."
"No it's not, go sleep in your bed." Regina said sitting down next to Emma.
"I'm already here, it's no big deal. Now move so I can put my feet up."
"Nope, you need to wash your sheet. I am not sleeping in there until they're clean.
"Have you seen my hand." Emma held up her hand and pointed to the stiches.
"Fine I will wash them myself in the morning but I not sleeping in there tonight. "Regina said crossing her arms.
"Nothing is ever easy with you. I am going to put my feet in your lap if you do not move. I swear if I was feeling better and had two functional hands I would be caring your ass to bed." Then Emma realized what she said. Damn it, now that woman going to turn that into an innuendo, Emma thought.She still put her feet in Regina's lap and try to push her away lightly with them.
"You can sleep in your own bed, I'm not moving. I don't care how much you kick me."
"I never kicked you quit being so dramatic."
"You kind of kicked me, a little."
"Go to bed, now who is acting like the child."
"You."
"Remember how I said you still act like you're in kindergarten, I changed my mind, preschool, you're in preschool. This is the part where you practice playing nice with the other kids. Not drive them absolutely crazy getting your way."
"Since the day we met, you never let me get my way." Regina said looking at Emma who was starting to stretch out and take up as much room as her small body possibly could. If Regina was going to sit there, Emma was going to put as much of her body weight on the older woman and make her as uncomfortable as possible.
"So what makes you think I am going to start now," Emma laughed.
"Ok fine then I'm just going to go sleep at my place tonight."
"No you won't so just stop. You got to be the most difficult person; I have ever met in my whole life." Emma then decided to change tactics. She rolled over and closed her eyes. It did not occur to her she was smashing Regina and making it impossible for her to move.
"Did you really think having me here would be easy?"
"I really have no idea what I was thinking; maybe it was the blood loss." Emma said not opening her eyes.
"Well I would get up but you're pining me down."
"My legs don't weight that much just go to bed; I will see you in the morning."
"Emma," Regina said pushing on the blonde's legs. "Emma." Regina then started to shake her legs a bit more. "You're not sleeping; move your legs, come on let me up." Emma still did not move. "Emma, you're unbelievable." Regina then tried to wiggle out from under Emma whose thighs were firmly over her lap. "Great, come on Emma knock it off and move so I can get up." Regina sat there waiting for Emma to shift her weight, so she could get up. Emma did not move and Regina eventually feel asleep. When they woke up Regina was on top of Emma, Emma arms wrapped around the brunette. Henry had already left for school. He left them a note. Moms you were a sleep did not want to wake you so I called Gramps. Love Henry.
"Fuck, this has to stop." Emma yelled, "No more accidently falling asleep together, you're sleeping in my room from now on this has gone way too far. We're just friends, no more cuddling, no more waking up like this. What if David seen us like this, this has to stop. "
"You were fine last night. Don't freak out over Charming. I'm sure Snow has told him everything, clearly he is fine with us being together if he didn't pull me off of you."
"Everyone else may be fine with it, but I want to make it perfectly clear to you I am not. I don't want to be anything more than friends. This, whatever this is, has to end. "
"That sounds vaguely familiar, you said that right before you planned to leave."
"I am being serious you have done nothing but try to push my buttons since you found out everyone thinks were a couple. It ends today, I don't want that kind of relationship with you. Do you hear me."
"I was just messing with you do really think I could ever want something like that with you, someone who is so far below me. I was queen once, your nothing but someone's unwanted trash. "Regina said getting up to go to the bathroom and slamming the door. As soon as she was inside the tears started to flow. What in the hell is wrong with me. I do not even know why she made me so upset. God keep it together, your only here for Henry, not that woman. You hate her; you cannot be friends with her. Stick with the plan; you were only being nice to get your son. It is all a trick, keep telling yourself that, be strong. Never ever, let her see you weak again. You can do this; you have to do this if you are going to get your son back, Regina thought. Regina grabbed her keys and started to leave, Emma followed her.
"Where are you going?"
"What I do with my time is none of your concern Miss Swan. Try not to injure yourself getting water."
"I thought we were past that." Emma said still following Regina who was practically running away from her.
"I'm going to my place to get a few things, I will pick Henry up." Regina said not look at Emma.
"I'm coming with you, I can help you pack."
"I'm a big girl I can pack all by myself. Besides, you're no use to anyone with your hand all messed up."
"Still I'm coming."
"No you're not." Regina then got in her car and speed away. Emma thought about getting in her bug and following her. She decided to give the other woman some space. Emma knew she was harsh earlier but she had to squash whatever Regina had been up to, plus it was one thing for Snow to see her and Regina cuddling it was another thing for Charming to see it.
Snow called a little later to see how Emma was doing. Snow did not say one word about Regina, just asked Emma how she was feeling and how her hand was. The rest of the day Emma spent watching T.V. and doing laundry, bored out of her mind. Emma found it strange Regina had only been there a week and already she found herself missing her.
At 3:30pm, Regina's car pulled up and Henry helped her with a few packages. Regina walked past Emma without saying a word. She put the packages in Emma's room then went to the Kitchen and started making everyone food. At dinner, the only person who spoke was Henry. He told them all about his day. Then they all played a board game, and just like the night before both women tucked him into bed. After Henry was in bed Regina went straight to Emma's room and closed the door without a word. Emma fell asleep on the sofa. Emma tossed and turned all night, and found it very hard to sleep.
The next morning when Emma woke up Henry and Regina were gone. She thought Regina would come back after dropping Henry off at school, but she did not. At 3:30, Henry and Regina came into the apartment. They had the same routine as the night before. Dinner, games, then bed with Regina and Emma not saying a word to each. The only difference was on the weekends all three of them spent the two days together doing whatever Henry wanted to do. Emma had never ever been so happy to get back to work. They fell into a routine that went on that way for several weeks.
Emma ended up following Regina one day to find out where she kept disappearing too. Regina stopped at her house, spent a few hours there then went to Granny's. Emma was surprised because she was actually talking to Ruby and Belle. She could not believe Belle had actually forgiven her. Regina and Belle were having coffee like friends. Emma though she would be the last person in this town to ever forgive her. Then Emma thought of Snow, well maybe not the last person. Emma snuck in and sat down at a table covering her face. Luckily, Regina did not look up when she walked in and had her back to her the whole time.
"I just love this world so much." Belle said
"Really?" Regina seem surprised
"Yeah you can be anything, everyone is free. They have tea, have you ever had ice tea it is truly amazing. Don't even get me started on the food it's amazing."
"You really like being here in this world. No one else seems to like it here. There all still pretty mad I cursed them."
"I love this world, so many books. You know my life was not very good before. I was trapped in a castle. I am only upset about being trapped in that hospital for all this time. You could have at least set me free once we got to this new world."
"I am sorry about that; it was extremely selfish to keep you locked up."
"Why did you."
"I told Gold you were dead, I was trying to punish him and I ended up hurting you I am truly sorry I know I don't deserve it, but I hope someday you can forgive me." Emma was pulled out of her eavesdropping when Ruby walked up to her.
"Why are you spying on your wife?" Ruby said whispering
"She not my wife."
"Fine why are you spying on your girlfriend?"
"Ok we are so not like that, that is just sick. So stop it right now."
"Fine why are you spying on Regina?"
"I had to make sure she hasn't been up to anything."
"Nope she just has been going around to everyone asking them to forgive her. I thought you were making her do it."
"I didn't know anything about it."
"Well mostly everyone has been pretty mean to her. Belles the only one who had given her the time of day, she has a heart the size of the moon."
"Do you have a crush on someone Ruby?" Emma said with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't be ridicules, Belle is with Gold everyone knows that were just really good friends."
"Belle is the only one who will talk to her?"
"Archie dose too, and I talk to her to because Belle asked me to, but I thought she was just faking."
"Do you still think she is faking?"
"She did save you guys. I don't know, she has been spending a lot of time with Belle and they have been taking about a lot of stuff lately but today is the first time Regina admitted why she locked her up for so many years. Guess it was to punish Gold."
"I heard that part, what else do they talk about. "
"Lots of things usually nothing important. Trust me Belle is not helping her plot anything. Belle can see the good in people even when no one else can. It's like her super power." Ruby said with a big smile on her face.
"Sure you don't have an itty bity crush."
"No she taken, I'm not that kind of girl."
"Maybe Belle just has horrible taste in friends." Emma said nudging Ruby.
"So what about you and the former mayor, really what's going on?"
"Nothing."
"So would you care if someone else asked her out?"
"No, there is nothing going on between us at all. Besides no one around her is going to hit on her, they are all way too scared of her still."
"So you wouldn't care if I asked her out."
"Quit, we both know that's never going to happen."
"Why not she hot, I'm hot were both single. I have done some things I'm not proud of maybe we can find some happiness together."
"You're kidding right."
"No why not I bet she is a freak in the bed."
"Gross, I don't want to hear that."
"Are you following me?" A very angry Regina was standing over the women.
"No I just came in to get some coffee on my brake. How was I supposed to know you were going to be here, you never tell me where you're going." Emma said getting up and walking out with Regina following her.
"What did you do?" Belle asked Ruby.
"Just tiring to make Emma a little jealous, I thought they needed a little push. I told Emma I was going to ask Regina out." Ruby said smiling at her friend.
"Your horrible what if it backfires on you."
"What's the worst that could happen."
"You have to go on a date with Regina."
"She's your friend."
"Doesn't mean I want her having sex with you."
"I wouldn't have sex with her, at least not on the first date." Ruby said with a big smile.
"You're awful."
"Oh I was just kidding."
"Don't let Snow find out what you're doing."
"Oh she won't even be mad at me, hell she would probably hug me, if she thought I was breaking them up."
"Snow isn't dumb and their not even together. Maybe you should just stay out of it."
Back outside Emma was walking to her car. Regina was following her.
"Why are you following me Miss Swan?"
"I wasn't, can't I stop in to get coffee."
"You never take a break at this time and your car was outside my house all day today. Don't you have a job to do?"
"I was just making sure you weren't up to your old tricks again."
"Kindly keep your noise out of my business what I do is none of your concern."
"It's my job to keep the people in this town safe so everything you do is my concern."
"We are done with this conversation I will see you tonight when I bring Henry home. I can assure you Belle and Ruby are not helping me to take over the world." Regina said as she turned to walk away. Emma stormed back to her car.
Emma did not make it home until 10:00pm she had a last minute call and had a lot of paper work to finish. She snuck in the apartment trying not to wake anybody up. When she turned on the light, Regina was sitting on the couch. Emma jumped when she saw her.
"Oh my god you are such a creep sometimes." Emma yelled.
"Where were you, you could have at least called, your dinner is cold, and Henry was worried, and you didn't answer your phone so I had to call your mother."
"I was busy; you don't tell me where you go all day. So it's none of your business where I'm at."
"We have a son to think about Miss Swan, we have been eating dinner and do family activities every night. It's a common courtesy to call someone when you're not going to be home for those things."
"Your such a hypocrite, you can do whatever you want. But I am a little late and it's the end of the world. What I do is none of your concern."
"It is, when you have a son that's worried sick."
"He knows I'm a sheriff and sometimes I have to work late no big deal."
"That why he worries, you could have at least called him and told him you were fine, he was worried sick about you. We do not have to like each other but you need to think about him. I'm going to bed." Emma was glad she was already feeling bad enough about getting busy and forgetting to call. Then the more Emma though about the more it pissed her off. She got up and followed Regina. The door to her bedroom was closed; but Emma was angry so she opened it and walked in.
"It's so not fair…." Emma started but quickly stopped when she seen Regina naked. She stood there open mouth for a minute.
"Can I help you?" Regina pulled Emma out of her thoughts. Regina just stood there smiling at Emma not even bothering to cover up.
"Yes um…well…oh boy…" Emma looked at the floor.
"Miss Swan do you want something, or can I finish getting ready for bed."
"If you want me to call you when I am late then you have to start telling me where you're going. It's a two way street and only fair."
"Miss Swan I didn't care that you were late, Henry did so when you're late you need to call him."
Regina said turning around and finished getting ready.
"Oh so you didn't care at all."
"Nope" Regina said getting in the bed.
"Fine, your right I will try and do better." Emma said walking back to the living room. She kept shaking her head, asking that woman to move it with her was the worst idea she ever had.
The next day at breakfast Regina came into the kitchen and Emma could not keep her eyes off her. Regina looked amazing, she always looked beautiful, but today she looked drop dead gorgeous.
"It's my day off and I was wondering if….Emma was staring and couldn't think about how she wanted to phrase the next part.
"What are you taking about Miss Swan?" Regina looked over at her annoyed.
"Do you want to spend the day here with me, instead of going where ever it is you go. I was thinking we could have a long talk we haven't talked to each other for a while."
"We talked last night."
"We fought last night and I'm sorry I should have called and told you I was going to bed late."
"No I have plans with someone today, sorry."
"Who?"
"It's not of your concern who I spend my days with."
Henry came running into the room. They all ate breakfast in silence. After they were done Regina took Henry to school. Emma was fuming all morning. I am a little late and it's the end of the world she can go out looking like that with god knows who and it's none of my concern if she says that to me one more time. Who the hell does she think she is I going to go give her a peace of my mind. Emma's mind was running wild. She got up and head to Regina's house. Regina wasn't there so Emma headed to Granny's. When Emma got to Granny's she seen Regina sitting at a table taking to Ruby they were both smiling and having fun. Emma saw them and lost it, ran at Ruby, and grabbed her by the collar.
"What the hell are you doing with her, stay away from her." Emma was yelling and shaking Ruby.
"Emma let her go." Regina was yelling at her. Emma was not paying any attention to anyone. She was shaking Ruby and raising her fist.
"Emma stop," Regina yelled again and then stepped in front of Ruby before Emma could do anything to her.
"Move Regina," Emma said yelling, Regina would not budge.
"I'm not going to let you hit your friend, stop acting like this."
"What the hell is going on here?" Snow said yelling from the doorway. Everyone one turned to look at the door. Snow and Belle had just interred the dinner.
"Emma Swan what do you think you're doing." Snow with arms crossed and walking to the three. It finally registered to Emma how insane she looked. Emma backed away and shook her head.
"I don't know." Emma said looking down at the floor suddenly feeling like a total jackass.
"Ok it's kind of my fault." Ruby said behind Regina
"I told her to stay out of it," Belle added.
"How is Emma being a jerk your fault," Regina said truing her head to look at Ruby.
"Well I kind of told her I was going to hit on you. She saw us talking and I think she thought we were on a date.
"Why in the hell would you do that?" Snow said shaking her head.
"I thought it would make Emma jealous and she would finally admit to herself how she feels. It seemed like a good idea at the time. How was I supposed to know Emma would flip like that?"
"Shows over, Regina, Emma outside now, everyone else go back to whatever you were doing before." Snow said and both women followed her.
Snow looked at both of them "Neither one of you talk, Frist, Regina was waiting here to talk to me. Second, you to need to start communicating better. Third Emma you are the town sheriff so going around punching people who talk to your girl-whatever you too have going on, can't ever happen again."
"Why do I have to be a part of this lecture? I was minding my own business." Regina said rolling her eyes. Snow just glared at her.
"Because you make her completely crazy." Snow pointed to Emma.
"She makes herself crazy." Regina said looking Snow in the eye.
"No Regina you have made Emma crazy since the day she met you. Look at what you're doing to her she has been in love with you since the moment she met you." Snow said looking at both women.
"That's not true." Emma interjected.
"Really, she said that." Regina looked very surprised.
"Never." Emma yelled.
"No, she didn't have to. I knew for a long time how she felt though. I never thought anything would come from it." Snow said looking at a stunned Regina.
"So what changed why you are suddenly ok with her loving me of all people?"
"Because even a blind man could see how much you love her too. And I want my daughter to be happy. So if that means you then so be it. Emma is the savior after all maybe she was meant save you too. I just couldn't bring myself to believe it until I saw the way you looked at her." Snow said to a speechless Regina.
"Now go home and deal with how you are feeling, Regina I will call you later. I have to get back my brake is over." Snow said walking away.
"Did she just say she was going to call you? She does not call you what is going on. You two don't talk. She is my mom so don't you dare say it's none of my concern." A stunned Emma said to Regina.
"I have been trying to make amends to all of the people I wronged and I didn't hurt anyone as much as I hurt your mother." Regina said rolling her eyes.
"So you Snow are friends now?"
"I don't think we will ever be friends Miss Swan."
"So what are doing going to lunch and calling her for."
"We are working on things; we have so much to work on. So many things got messed up between us, we were very close at one point. I don't think we will ever have that again, maybe we can at least be in the same room without killing each other." Regina said letting out deep breath.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Why do you think, for you and Henry, she is your mother and his grandmother. I tried hard not to love you, after you told me we would never have anything, I couldn't do it. I love you Emma Swan, I love you more than anything. That shouldn't even be possible."
"Why."
"When I cast the spell, it was supposed to leave a whole in my heart, magic always has a price. I was never supposed to love again, but I loved Henry and then I loved you just as much."
"You love me."
"Yes!"
Emma did not say a word instead; she pulled Regina to her and kissed her. When they finally separated everyone at the dinner was outside and Ruby was cheering.
