So, here's the second chapter! I want to thank everybody who review and/or put this story on his or her alert or favorite list!
I think I forgot to mention last chapter that English is not my mother tongue and I'm sorry for all grammar and spelling mistakes!
Please enjoy and remember to tell me what you think about it! ;)
Maleficent had been living with Regina for a whole week now and they worked very well together. The blonde already slept in Regina's bed because they had decided that they weren't a normal couple anyway so any time limits didn't apply for them. Maleficent loved to explore all new modern techniques and right now she was totally preoccupied with Regina's mobile phone. Regina stood in the threshold and just looked at her girlfriend. 'Girlfriend. How strange. But it feels good, it feels so good' Then Maleficent looked up and met Regina's eyes. "Hey, beautiful. Come over here. I may have a question or two" Regina laughed quietly, made her way over to the older woman and sat down right next to her. "What do you want to know, darling?" That's the way both of them had spent the last week, explaining and exploring. They hadn't left the house. Too fresh was their bonding and too vulnerable. They just wanted to strengthen their relationship, get to know their feelings and build up trust before they would finally make their relationship public. Especially Regina was afraid of her son's reaction. She couldn't bear the thought to lose either Henry or Maleficent.
Maleficent and Regina cuddled cozily on the small couch in the living room watching television. Maleficent was all in animal shows and enjoyed watching them, Regina on the other hand thought it was really boring but for her girlfriend she'd do anything. Suddenly there was a small pony on TV. It was really small with brown fur and really cute. Regina felt Maleficent stiffen in her embrace and she started rubbing comforting circles on her back. "Shh…it's okay, I know what it's about. Don't be sad, I've got a surprise for you" Maleficent looked at her curiously, her eyes clearly showing sorrow. "Come on, dear. I want to show you something" Regina stood up and guided the blonde outside to her car. The older witch wasn't really fond of those modern carriages but she trusted Regina to be able to handle them safely. The drive was really short. Soon the car stopped in front of Storybrook's stables. "What are we doing here, Gina? Look, can we go home again? I'm not in the mood for-" But Regina silenced her with a kiss and got out of the car. Maleficent sighed and followed. They made their way into the stables. Maleficent didn't know what Regina was up to. The small pony on this television, or whatever the strange thing was called, had reminded Maleficent painfully of her little unicorn. He had been so little when Regina had enacted the curse. She didn't think about what had happened to him. She missed the animal. She really did.
Regina laid her arm around Maleficent's slender waist and guided her inside. It was really quiet in there the only sounds coming from several horses breathing heavily. "Look, over there" Regina whispered into her girlfriend's ear. And there he was. He was just as small as Maleficent remembered him. His bright horn shining and glistening in the sun that shone through the windows. He lifted his head and nickered happily. 'He remembers me' Maleficent thought and didn't even try to hold her tears at bay. "Hey, my baby. How are you? Mummy is so happy to see you!" Regina smiled at the affection given to the small animal. Regina just wanted to see her girlfriend happy and she knew that she now was. All those years Regina had looked after Maleficent's pet like she had done with her own apple tree because she knew how much the unicorn meant to Maleficent. "Come here" Maleficent whispered and reached out for Regina. Smiling Regina took her hand and knelt down next to the small unicorn. She stroked gently through his fur. "Thank you" The blond whispered. Regina brushed Maleficent's tears away and played a gentle kiss on her pink lips. "You're welcome. That was the least thing I could do. Maleficent, are you happy?" Regina sounded worried. Happiness was a delicate thing and to her mind the most desirable aim in life and she wanted Maleficent to be happy. She wanted them to be happy together. "Regina, I'm more than happy! I have you and I have my little baby here! What else could I possibly ask for?" Regina smiled like the Cheshire Cat. "He likes you, Regina" Maleficent tilted her head, her blonde curls bouncing funnily. "Mmmh…I like him too" Regina laughed. It was the first real laugh in years. She felt so free from all worries and all sorrow she had felt since she had been a little child.
The two women spent the whole day in the stables. They were happy and nothing could ever change that.
"I love you, Regina"
"I love you too, Maleficent"
So that was the second chapter. I've already an idea for the next chapter. Please tell me if you want me to continue this or not!
