Swan Queen Ween Day 6: Out of Storybrooke

Okay so first off no you didn't read that wrong I did in fact skip a day. I couldn't really find a way to write the whole Evil!Emma thing with out butchering what I wanted so I skipped it. I may or may not write it within the next few days and post in on here, I just don't know yet.

So yeah this is my day 6 entry for Emma and Regina out of Storybrooke although almost none of this story is set out of the town itself. But anyway, this might be really bad because it's 1 am and this just kind of poured out of me and I didn't do any real heavy duty editing. Pretty sure this entire thing is just a huge ramble but I'm posting it anyway. Okay yeah, sorry for the huge author's note.

Disclaimer: Yes we all know I don't own Once Upon a Time of it characters.

Emma was bouncing on her heels like a kid on Christmas, she was waiting for her wife and son to finish packing and come downstairs so they could get going. They were moving. Finally getting out of Storybrooke, getting away from all of these ridiculous people who still look at Regina with fear in their eyes and see her as the Evil Queen. Get away from Rumpelstiltskin and his annoying deals. Away from Snow and David and their incessant need to always pry in her life. Away from everyone from everyone always expecting her to be the damn savior all the time. And she couldn't fucking wait.

They found a decently large home, much like their house in Storybrooke, in a small town in Massachusetts. The town had good schools for Henry and their soon to be born daughter and any future children they might have. They already met with an OBGYN there to be Regina's doctor when they get there. They are all completely set to move, if only Regina and Henry would hurry up so they could actually leave.

She knows her wife is having a difficult time with the move, only because she will be leaving the house and town she built and spent 30 years in. She and Emma will still have their magic, granted it will not be the same as in the Enchanted Forest or in Storybrooke but magic more or less. Really all they need it for at this point is just making some more kids really, so it's not really a big thing, and really if magic didn't work in Massachusetts they could just come and pay a visit to Storybrooke. Regina was a tad on the fence at first, but seeing as how the people of the town didn't exactly trust her to be the mayor anymore and they barely trusted her with their precious savior she got on board fairly quickly, but that doesn't mean that leaving is any easier.

Emma figures that their son is just remembering all of the time he spent in this house, how long it was his home, and reveling in that since he won't be back to Maine for a fairly decent while. He was excited to leave and see some more of the world, only having ever been in Storybrooke and Boston that one time he found Emma. But although he was excited to leave he was on the fence about leaving his grandparents and the other people he's known all his life, mostly just Ruby and Archie but she knew her son would miss this town greatly.

Finally after ten minutes of waiting around she turned at the sound of her wife softly descending the steps to the foyer, "Thank god Gina, I thought I was going to have to drag you and the kid down here by your hair."

"I'd like to see you try, Miss Swan." Said the brunette upon reaching the blonde and wrapping her arms around her neck.

Emma immediately placed her arms lightly around her wife's waist, "Actually it's Mrs. Mills." she said as she leaned down to place her lips on Regina's.

Regina closed her eyes and fell into her wife's kiss, she loved this. Loved this woman. Loved moments that were tender and gentle. Loved that they joked around with Emma's smartass comments and Regina's quick wit. She loved their relationship. Loved that she was able to find this woman, be with this woman. She loved everything about the blonde and loved their children, granted one of them was yet to be born but that didn't matter. "Ah yes how could I ever forget that little fact, well old habits die hard and all that." She chuckled as Emma smiled happily at their exchange.

As they leaned in for another kiss their son came bounding down the steps, "Moms! No time for kissing we have to go! We're already late!"

Emma just laughed and said, "Well maybe if you had been down earlier kid, we could have left a while ago."

The thirteen year old just looked down and began putting his shoes on, knowing his blonde mother had a point. "Sorry Ma."

"Hey no," Emma walked to their son, placing a hand on his shoulder, "It's okay to not want to say goodbye to somewhere you've lived for a long time. I get it Henry, really you don't have to be sorry for loving this place, hell even I'm a little sad to be leaving this place."

"You are?" the boy asked looking much younger than the teenager her is.

Regina watched the exchanged from a few feet away, leaning on the front door, she hadn't known that Emma would miss their home. After everything that had happened in it when the blonde first came to town and after the curse broke, she just figured the blonde couldn't wait to leave. Apparently she was wrong.

"Of course Henry. This was the first place I ever saw your mom, and the sight of a few of our most exciting arguments." She threw a wink at her wife. "I first told your mom how I felt right here and I lived here with both of you for quite a while, of course I'm going to miss this place. But where we're going we can make new memories, just like we've all made here. We can start over you, me, your, mom, and your sister, when she decides to come out." As she finished Emma made her way over to her wife, placing her hand on her protruding stomach and a kiss to her cheek.

Henry just nodded and smiled happily at his mothers answer, he was glad that she felt the same way as he did. Satisfied he threw on his jacket and ran to the door, "Well lets go then!" he shouted at his mothers who were looking at each other like they had each hung the moon for the other. They did that a lot, but he didn't mind. He liked that his moms were together now, they were so much happier.

"Yes, lets get going." Regina said putting on her coat as well, "Are you prepared Emma?"

"Yeah.. Um I'll just meet you at the car." She said slowly. Regina realizing that the blonde wanted a moment alone with the house just turned and went out the door with their son.

Emma had never been very sentimental with things, she was shuffled around from house to house when she was a kid and then continued to move around a lot as an adult. She didn't make connections with places, she didn't care. But this house, this house was so different. This house held good memories, her and Regina's first kiss, and first time. Held memories of baking apple pie with Regina and Henry. Teaching Henry to play soccer in the back yard. Finding out about Regina's pregnancy. Their wedding had been been in the yard, right under the apple tree she mangled in her first days here. This place was special, sure they would stay here when they visited town but it wasn't the same. They were leaving Storybrooke, leaving this house but not the memories. The memories that lie within the walls of this home will forever be embedded in her mind, and that's enough because they were going to make new ones in a house that is purely their own, a house somewhere that they could be free. That's what made this okay. So a tear fell from her eye, she whispered a genuine "Thank you" to the house and walked out to her beat up yellow bug where her wife and son waited.

Regina didn't say anything, she didn't have to. She simply placed her hand on top of the blondes on the gearshift with a gentle and comforting squeeze, as they began to drive away from the house they would all miss, and then the town they had loved. And when Henry had uttered a small "Bye Storybrooke." They all felt the weight of no longer being a part of that town. When they would come back they would simply be visitors, no longer people of Storybrooke. They were no longer the Evil Queen, the Savior and the son of the savior, they were just Regina, Emma and Henry Mills. They were free. They had actually left.

A few hours later when they reached their new home, they all smiled thinking of the life they now had. Emma had already talked to the local law enforcement and had a job waiting for her as a cop, Henry was to be enrolled in school in a few days and Regina was going to give staying home a shot. They were free to be who they wanted and that was what mattered. That's what made leaving worth it. This is what they worked for.

Six months later when they would finally return to Storybrooke with their newly born daughter in tow and a new car the people all over town commented on how they looked happier and more carefree than they ever had in town. The family would just smile and thank whoever had said it because it was true. They were happy, they were no longer taxed with being the Savior and the Evil Queen and being just Emma and Regina Mills was so much better than what they were in Storybrooke.

Have a great night everybody, or a great day depending on where you are. Anyway thanks for reading, I really appreciate it and hopefully I'll see you soon for day 7's movie plot.
