Chapter 2

"You are just a lonely bitch who no one likes!",Emma shouted at Regina who looked at her hurt before she turned away and opened her car door. "Well... if that's all you have to say, Miss Swan...",Regina answered and got in and just drove away. Emma gasped when Regina almost hit a parked car and she quickly got in her own car and forced Regina to stop her car once again. She ignored her for a few minutes until Emma almost crashed against her and she hadn't had an other option. Emma got out of her car and pulled Regina out of her's and pushed her against the car. "What do you want from me, Miss Swan! Not finished with insulting me?",Regina shouted at her and Emma saw the red cheeks and the tear which rolled down Regina's cheek.

Emma weakened her grip. She sighed. "What do you want?",Regina asked her and crossed her arms in front of herself and looked to the side. She calmed down a bit. "I... I'm sorry... for what I said to you...",Emma said and Regina sighed. "You aren't but it's okay... I am who I am...",Regina said and turned back to her car when Emma pulled her around and flush against herself before she kissed Regina. She thought that Regina would push her away and slap her but she did exactly the opposite. She pulled Emma closer and cupped her cheek softly. "I AM sorry. I really am, Regina.",Emma said and Regina shrugged. "I don't care what you say to me, Emma...as long as you don't leave.",she said and Emma smiled at her.

"Never.",Emma answered and kissed her again. "But I need to tell you the truth before anything can happen between us.",Regina said and Emma nodded. "Okay. Whatever it is you can tell me." "I will. But tomorrow morning and Henry has to be there too.",Regina answered her and Emma looked surprised but nodded. "No problem." Emma pushed Regina against the car and started kissing her more heated. "How about we move this to my home?",Regina asked and played with Emma's collar. "I don't think we should take it that far.",Emma said and Regina shook her head. "I didn't mean it that way... sorry... I just wanted to enjoy a nice evening with you and Henry.",Regina told her.

Emma looked surprised. "You... you mean like a real family?",Emma asked her insecure and Regina nodded. "I know that you aren't used to family. Neither am I. But maybe... we can do that together?" Emma smiled brightly at her. "I would love to." Emma intertwined their fingers and looked down at them with a happy smile. Regina lifted them up and kissed the back of Emma's hand. "I'm curious what you want to tell us.",Emma said and Regina looked at her saddened. "I hope you'll still be that understanding tomorrow.",she said and sighed. "I promise you that I will stay by your side whatever you'll tell us." Regina nodded but Emma still could see the doubt in Regina's eyes.

The evening went smoothly. Henry was surprised but happy that Regina had invited Emma over to have dinner with them and to watch some movies. He was a bit surprised when Regina had let Emma near to her and never snapped at her. They were too friendly for just getting along for his sake. And that's when he saw it. Emma cupped Regina's cheek and kissed her softly and Regina kissed her back as softly as Emma. She had this beautiful smile on her face which she just had for him and he knew that his mother doesn't wanted to play with Emma. She loved her. Surprisingly he wasn't mad at her. He took his book and read the story of his mother again. He smiled. Emma was the savior. It was the only solution that Emma would save his mother from the evil side. With that he happily went to sleep.

The next morning Regina sat next to Henry on his bed and softly shook him to wake him up. He yawned and stretched before he opened his eyes and looked at Regina who looked at him lovingly. "Can you bring your book with you when we go later?",she asked him and smoothed out his hair. He sat up. "Where are we going?",he asked her. "To my my vault. I need to show you something.",she said and he looked at her surprised. "About the curse?" "About the curse.",Regina said quietly. He looked definitely shocked by now and she sighed. "Will you tell us everything?",he asked her softly and she nodded. He saw the tears in her eyes and hugged her quickly.

"Don't leave me, please.",Regina sobbed and he just held her while she sobbed into his neck. "I won't.",he whispered back. He saw her vulnerable side. He saw that she wasn't really evil. She was just scared and tried to protect herself in a wrong way. "I'm hungry.",Henry said and Regina chuckled while she wiped her tears away. She kissed his forehead once again. They got up and walked downstairs where Emma waited in one of Regina's pajamas. She had already made some pancakes for them and had a huge grin on her face. "Hey... I thought I could make breakfast after you allowed me to crash in your guest bedroom.",Emma said and Regina smirked. They ate in peace. Henry told them about school and his plans for the next day while Regina and Emma listened to him happily.

Afterwards they dressed and Regina drove them to the vault. Henry gave Regina his book and she led them downstairs. Henry and Emma were a bit confused where Regina led them until they reached a hallway. Quiet pounding could be heard and Regina led them to the pounding. She turned back to them and took a shaky breath. "Everything in this book is true.",she said and Emma looked at her shocked and wide-eyed. "You can't be serious, Regina. You don't have to do that to make him like you.",Emma said saddened. "I'm not saying it just because it's fun. It's not. That's why I brought you here. Because I wanted to show you something so you would believe me... even if you hate me afterwards.",Regina said and turned to a wall in which boxes were laying.

Emma saw how the boxes lightened up red before the light vanished again before it lightened up again. Regina pulled out a box and mentioned both of them to come a few steps closer. She opened the box and Emma gasped. In the box was a living heart. "What is that, Regina?",Emma asked scared. "That, my dear, is a heart.",she answered and caressed it softly. "Whose heart?",Henry asked and Regina shrugged. "I don't know... I wish I would but...",she sighed. "I became like my mother...",she sounded so disgusted with herself. She never stopped caressing the heart. "My mother took hearts... maybe that's why I was doing it. Because I wanted to be loved from her... She had this affection for hearts...",she said and they looked at her confused.

"Did you cast the curse because of that?",Henry asked her and she nodded slightly. "I... I casted it because everything back there... it remembered me of Snow's betrayal...I loved her... I really did but... but she couldn't keep her mouth shut and because of her my mother killed Daniel...I became Queen... I was trapped... the only thing I ever wanted was love and freedom... but both was me denied. And than I had no one to turn to. It was so easy to be evil... It was so easy because no one stopped me. No one helped me..." Emma looked at her saddened. She knew that Regina told the truth. Both, she and Henry walked to Regina and hugged her. She just cried. "I'm so sorry for you growing up in the foster system... If it wasn't for my need of revenge you would've been raised by your parents...",Regina said but Emma shook her head.

"Well, normally a person would love to be raised by it's parents but I'm happy that I'm not. Mary-Margret as mother? I think I would have become insane and we wouldn't have Henry.",Emma said and kissed Regina's head. "You... you aren't angry?",she sniffed and both shook their heads. "I'm sorry, Mom. I thought that you just casted it because you was jealous of Snow's beauty." Regina scoffed. "As if she is more beautiful than me. That may sounds bitchy but please..." They laughed at that. "I have to agree with her, Henry. Regina is far more beautiful than Mary-Margret.",Emma said and Regina smiled at her lovingly.

"Will you return the hearts when the curse is broken?",Henry asked and Regina nodded. "Yeah. I just didn't before the curse because I wasn't ready to let go of my vengeance.",Regina said and they smiled at her. "But we are here now. And we will make it. We will help you.",Emma said and cupped Regina's cheeks before she kissed her lovingly. Regina kissed her back until she remembered Henry and broke away from Emma and looked to Henry with wide eyes. He smiled at her warmly and she looked back to Emma. She looked as confused as Regina felt. "I saw you yesterday... it's alright with me.",he said and looked around. "Is that the only room here?" "No, but wait I need to put the heart back.",Regina answered and carefully closed the box again and put it back to it's place.

Emma took her hand and she smiled at her before she led her to the other side of her vault to another wall. She pushed slightly against it and the wall clicked and moved away from her touch. They stepped through and gasped. It was a complete apartment. Just underneath the ground. "Wow...",Henry said and looked around. "Why did you create this?",Emma asked curiously. "In case of the curse breaking.",Regina answered and Emma nodded slowly. "I will protect you.",Emma said and kissed her neck. "Emma... Henry is watching.",she said and giggled. Henry turned around to them and smiled. "It's great to see that you are happy."
