Hups:) Posted a chapter twice:) That's the right one now:)
Maybe I'm going to fast in this chapter but I needed it somehow and like it :)
Enjoy:*
Regina gave Henry and Melanie a kiss before she kissed Leopold a last time. "Have fun, Regina.",he said and gave her a hickey. "Ugh… Leo… you know that I hate it when you make me hickeys.",she protested and rubbed over it. "You are mine.",he just whispered and Emma got sad when she saw the disgust in Regina's eyes.
When the three were gone Regina placed the food on the dining table. "I hope you are hungry enough. I made plenty.",Regina said and Emma smirked. "I'm never tired of food." They shared a laugh and Emma started to be addicted to this sound. "You have a wonderful laugh.",Emma said and Regina blushed. "Th-thank you…",she stuttered and Emma giggled. "Aaww, did I made you blush?" "I'm not used to compliments…",Regina answered and stared on her food.
"Can you dance?",Emma asked after the dinner when they sat on the couch and drunk some apple cider. "Mother taught me.",Regina answered and Emma stood up. "Come on. Let's dance.",she said and pulled Regina on her feet. "I have no music." "Nah, we'll come around that.",Emma said and pulled Regina against her. Regina wrapped her arms around Emma's neck and laughed when Emma whirled her around. "That's not dancing.",Regina said giggling and Emma shrugged. "It's fun and that's what your husband wanted. You having fun."
"You are unbelievable.",Regina said and kissed Emma's cheek. "Thank you." "You're welcome.",Emma answered and looked down to Regina. Emma sighed. She knew she couldn't have Regina and she shouldn't start to fall in love with her but she also didn't want to stop. She loved Regina laughing and being happy.
"Would you like to stay over?",Regina asked when the clock struck midnight and Emma nodded. "I'm too drunk to stand up.",Emma said and giggled. "Me too… but my bed is better.",Regina said and tried to stand up but fell down onto Emma. They laughed and Emma trapped Regina under her body. "You are so beautiful.",Emma said and Regina blushed. She studied Emma and stroke softly over Emma's cheek. "You too.",She just answered before she crashed her lips into Emma's.
Their tongues fought for dominance and Regina wrapped her legs around Emma's waist. Emma kissed her way down to Regina's chest. Regina grabbed a fistful of Emma's blond hair and pulled her up again. Addicted to the taste of Emma's lips. She felt Emma's hands on her blouse and moaned.
Emma woke up the next morning to find a naked Regina next to her in a bed. She smiled and ran her fingers lovingly over the skin when she saw that Regina stirred in her sleep. "Regina?",Emma asked and Regina snuggled in her body. "Please… just 5 Minutes.",Regina murmured and Emma giggled. "I think we have to talk.",Emma said and Regina opened her eyes. She looked up confused. "Emma?",she asked irritated and Emma nodded.
"What are you doing in my bed?" "You don't remember last night?",Emma asked and Regina's eyes widen. She looked under the covers and gasped. "Shit…",Regina swore and stared at the ceiling. They laid some minutes in silence until Regina spoke again. "Did it mean something to you?" "Yes.",Emma answered honestly and Regina looked at Emma. "It means something to me too. But… but no one can know something about this.",Regina said and Emma pulled her against her.
"I won't tell anyone.",Emma said and kissed Regina softly. They smiled and kissed when Emma's stomach interrupted them. "I should feed you. After all you worked hard last night.",Regina said giggling and Emma grinned. "Do you remember?" "Parts… I haven't drunk that much a long time.",Regina explained and Emma nodded. "Headache or something?" "Nope.",Regina answered and stood up.
"You are still beautiful after such a messy night.",Emma said and shook her head. Regina held her hands out for Emma and pulled her on the feet. "Thank you.",Regina said and kissed Emma softly before handing her a T-shirt. "You need something to wear after I ripped your Top last night." "Mhm. Definitely.",Emma answered and held Regina close to her.
"I should cook and you should shower. Everything is in a drawer next to the sink.",Regina explained and slipped in her underwear and a silk robe. "Okay, see you downstairs.",Emma answered and kissed Regina a last time before she went into the bathroom. Regina smiled brightly and went downstairs to prepare pancakes. She hummed a song and danced softly to it when she felt two arms around her waist. Emma kissed her neck and Regina sighed.
She knew Emma only two days but in this two days Emma fought herself in Regina's heart. She never thought that she could develop so fast emotions for someone like for she did Emma. In the whole two days she felt safe and loved. This night was special for her. Emma took her time. She wanted to learn what she liked and was so incredible soft to her.
Regina turned around to Emma and kissed her. "Thank you." "For what?",Emma asked. Her hair wet from the short shower. "For last night… I… I never thought that IT could feel nice." "I'll carry you on my hands if you let me. I won't hurt you.",Emma answered and brushed some hair out of Regina's face. Regina saw the sincerity in Emma's eyes and smiled again. "Okay.",Regina answered and wrapped her arms around Emma.
They spent the whole weekend together until Leopold and the children came back sunday evening. "Mom!",Melanie squealed when she saw Regina and hugged her. "Meli. How are you, my darling?",Regina asked and kissed her cheek. "Great. Dad went with us to the stables and we rode horses!",Melanie told her and Regina smiled. "And what did you do?" "We were outside with dad. Visited the lake and went swimming with the horses.",Melanie told her excited and Regina looked to Emma who was amused.
Henry came to them and watched them curious. "Emma, why are you wearing one of Mom's blouses?" "Emma spilled coffee on her T-Shirt and I borrowed her one of mine. Emma is working for Graham soon, she'll stay in town.",Regina said and Henry looked at her shocked. "But you're supposed to hate her and shouldn't be happy to have her around." "Shut up, Henry.",Melanie snapped and hugged Regina. "It's great that you and Emma are friends." "It is, but in the prophecy they say that the Evil Queen hates Emma.",he said and Regina sighed.
"I like Emma, Henry. I'm not this Evil Queen you always talk about and stop calling me that. You may not notice it but it hurts me. It hurts me deeply and I pleaded so many times to stop speaking about the book in my or Melanie's presence but enough is enough. I'll take the book until you know your mistake.",Regina said hurt and stood up. "No! You can't take it away from me!",Henry shouted and grabbed Regina. "I can because I warned you so many times and now it is enough! You don't just hurt me with it. You hurt Melanie. She is the one who suffers from this book the most. You'll get it back when Melanie is happy again.",Regina said and went upstairs.
Henry bolted after her and grabbed the book before she could and held it behind him. "You won't get it! I was right! You are evil! I hate you!",Henry shouted and Regina fought against the tears in her eyes but she lost it. Tears were streaming down her face and Henry looked at her shocked. "Give me this fucking book!",Regina screamed back and Henry gave it her still in shock.
Regina turned around and went out of the room. She walked in her study when she felt two arms around her waist again. She looked over her shoulder and leaned in the touch when she saw that it was Emma. "I'm sorry.",Emma whispered and Regina sighed. "I just want that he thinks about Melanie. She is every morning so sad when Henry is ignoring me or throwing my apples away.",Regina said and Emma looked around before pressing a soft kiss on her neck.
They broke apart and Emma walked to the couch when Leopold entered the study. "You took the book from Henry?",he asked her, totally unaware of Emma in the room. "Yes. He won't stop with his fantasies and I don't want to be hurt any more." "Give him his book back.",Leopold ordered and Emma stared angry at Leopold. "Are you deaf or do you speak a foreign language? Regina told you that she gets hurt when Henry has his book and call her things and you want to give him his book back?",She snapped and Leopold turned to her. "She has no right to take something from my son!",he argued and Regina sighed. She grabbed the book and walked out of the room. Emma followed her disbelieving.
"You won't give it back, are you?" "I am…",Regina said defeated and went upstairs. Emma watched her and felt a small arm around her waist. "She was happy when we arrived… Happier as when she is with Dad.",Melanie said and hugged Emma.
Regina opened the door to Henry's room and laid the book on one of his drawers and wanted to go out directly when she felt a hand on her arm. She turned around. Her face emotionless and her eyes without any life. He was shocked. "Mom… I'm…" "I don't want a forced apologize.",Regina said and freed herself. "No, this isn't forced."
"It is because I snapped on you. I snapped on you and you want to apologize. That's not how it works. People think about what they are sorry about and apologize than. Not because it is the right thing to do afterwards.",Regina said and went out of the room. Henry followed her. "Did you ever loved me?" "Henry, I love you with every cell in my body. But I can't take everything. Everyone has a break point and I reached mine so please… just let me think one night, okay? I just need one night." Henry watched her with tears in his eyes but nodded. Regina stroke softly his cheek and kissed his forehead. "I still love you.",she said and he hugged her. "I…I love… Love… love you too.",he sobbed and she rocked her little boy in her arms.
"You should go to bed, Henry. It's late.",she said after some minutes and kissed his forehead again. "Brush your teeth and change your clothes. I'll tuck you in later." "Could I speak with Emma when you tuck Melanie in?" "I'll send her.",Regina answered and went downstairs to find Melanie and Emma in the living room.
She smiled when she saw that Melanie was asleep on Emma and Emma slowly drifting out. "Emma, honey. Stay awake. Henry wants to speak with you.",Regina said and brushed with her hand over Emma's shoulder. "Huh? I'm awake, I'm awake.",Emma said and Regina laughed. "Come on. Henry wants to speak with you while I tuck Meli in." "I'm coming.",Emma said and stood up. Regina took Melanie in her arms and brought her to bed while Emma went to Henry.
"You wanted to talk?",Emma asked and entered Henrys room. "Yes. How far are you with breaking the curse?",he asked but didn't know that Regina stood with Melanie in her arms by his door. She almost ran with Melanie in her room when she heard it.
"I don't know how, Henry. And I think we should slow down. I saw how hurt your mother was when she took the book. I don't know what you told her in this room but I know that it wasn't right and you should apologize." "I tried but Mom said that she needs a night… she won't let me apologize." "I think that she wants to make you think about your behavior.",Emma countered and Henry sighed. "But she is the Evil Queen." "Do you want to hear my opinion?",Emma asked and he nodded. "I think that if you call someone from your family the Evil Queen than you should call your grandmother that. She forced your mother in this marriage, destroys her job plans and threatened her friends." Henry looked shocked. "But Mom always says that she married Dad because of love." "What do you think is easier for her? Telling you that she is happy so that you don't worry or telling you that she is unhappy and never wanted to marry and destroy your view of marriages?" Henry looked down. "Maybe we should really slow down." "Yeah, we should.",Emma said and Regina came in the room.
"Are you finished or should I go again and make myself ready until you are finished?" "No we are finished.",Emma said and stood up. She squeezed Regina's arm softly. "See you tomorrow.",Emma said and Regina nodded. "Bye, Emma."
The next day Emma went to the sheriff station to start her new job. Graham her boss greeted her friendly and showed her everything. "You can go on patrol now. It's just a round through the downtown.",he explained and Emma nodded. "I'm on my way.",Emma said and went on patrol. She checked her clock and smiled. In 5 Minutes Regina had to drive to school and would start her new job. A job she wished to do and she, Emma Swan, made her dream true. She was happy and started to walk to the school when she saw a familiar blue car in front of the school building and frowned. What did Cora want there?
She saw how Regina parked in a parking lot and Henry and Melanie ran off to the soccer goals. "Regina!",Emma called Regina who locked her door. She turned around and Emma saw the bruise on her cheek. "Oh god. Who did this?",Emma asked her and cupped softly the cheek. "I ran into a door, Emma." "Regina, I detect lies. This was one. Did Leopold that?" Regina's eyes told her everything and Emma cursed. "This bastard. He isn't worthy for such an amazing person…",she said angrily and Regina grabbed Emma's hands. "No one can know about that, Emma. If my mother knows that you know than… she will tell Leo and everything will turn worse.",she pleaded and cupped both of Emma's cheeks. "Promise me that you won't tell anyone." "I promise you.",Emma answered quietly and hugged her.
"I wish he was dead." "Me too. But he is Melanie's and Henry's father… I can't leave him and I can't talk about this… he would take them away. He is far more powerful." "And what if we had the proof to show everyone that the children aren't safe with him?",Emma asked. "You mean I should provoke him and you catch his abuse on camera?",she asked and Emma nodded. "I would save you directly but so you could keep your children, have a divorce and be safe." In Regina's eyes flickers hope and she hugged Emma again.
"Thank you.",Regina said and looked up. "You're welcome, sweetheart.",Emma said and looked around before she kissed Regina softly. "I have to go.",Regina said. "Have a good day." "You too.",Regina answered with a smile on her face. "See you later." "Don't forget lunch.",Emma called after Regina who hurried into the building. "I won't, bye!",she called over her shoulder and vanished in the building.
