Not beta-ed so all mistakes are mine

Chapter 12 – Of Kisses and Curses

When their lips finally touched, Emma felt an overwhelming sensation take over her, and images of a different place and a different Regina flashed before her eyes. And then she knew, Henry's book was true. Which it meant she was indeed Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, but it also meant Regina was who Henry had said she was. She was not only the Evil Queen but also the responsible for Emma's childhood being so miserable.

As Regina closed her eyes, she could feel the shifting of the air and she knew what it meant. The curse was broken. As this realization struck her she held onto Emma just a little tighter. If the curse was broken right after they kissed it could only mean one thing. Emma was indeed Regina's true love.

When they parted Regina just couldn't help the smile that she had. However it didn't last long as she saw Emma's troubled face.

"Emma?"

She called it softly disrupting the blonde from her thoughts.

"Henry is right. He was right all along. How could I have not seen this?"

The deputy questioned herself.

She had always been capable of telling when someone was telling her the truth or the other way around, so how didn't she believe her son?

"I need some air"

Emma announced before running out of the mansion and into Storybrooke's empty streets.

SQSQ

For a good few minutes Regina just sat frozen at her spot while staring at the door.

She didn't actually know which reaction from Emma she was expecting but she certainly hadn't been prepared for the blonde to run away.

All she wanted to do was run after Emma, but something inside her told her she shouldn't. She didn't know exactly what came through the blonde's mind but surely enough the deputy would need time to adjust to everything.

SQSQ

Henry was lying on his bed, almost drifting off to sleep, when he felt it.

"The curse is broken"

He whispered to himself.

He couldn't tell for sure how he knew it, he just did.

The realization made the boy jump out of his bed in excitement. He finally got what he wanted. His moms were together. "Now we can finally be happy", the thought crossed his mind as a childish smile formed on his lips.

Happily he made his way downstairs only to find his brunette mother sitting all alone in the living room.

Noticing she hadn't heard him coming, he gently shook her shoulders.

"Mom? Are you okay?"

Startled Regina finally was able to take her eyes of the door and turned her attention to her son.

"Everything is fine"

She lied. It would have past if her eyes hadn't betrayed her.

"No, it's not. What happened?"

She didn't answer. She didn't know how to explain to him what happened.

Sensing he wasn't going to get an answer Henry simply stated.

"The curse is broken, isn't it?"

"How do you know?"

Regina asked awestruck.

"I felt it"

He explained it.

"Was it true love's kiss?"

He finally asked after a few moments.

"The only magic capable of breaking any curse"

Regina confirmed.

SQSQ

Emma wandered through the streets of the small town.

She thought she could use some time to analyze the situation she just found herself in, it didn't work though. Every time she tried to focus her mind on anything related to her 'discover' her brain would bring images of the kiss between her and Regina.

The kiss was everything she had dreamed of, literally.

It was, for lack of a better word to describe it, magical.

As they kissed, she knew she had found the one person she wanted to spend forever with, her true love.

And if the curse hadn't been broken and the flown of memories hadn't happened, she would still be kissing Regina.

Nothing could be simple for her, though.

But to find out to be responsible for the breaking of a curse, because she kissed the woman she was in love with was crazy.

SQSQ

"Your true love is Emma"

It wasn't a question, and looking at her son Regina knew the boy had it figured out way before her.

She merely nodded.

"Where's she?"

Henry asked while scanning the place hoping to find his blonde mother.

"I don't know"

Regina stated, her heart breaking slightly at the notion.

"What? How come don't you know where is she?"

Her son asked confused.

"After we kissed and the curse broke she ran out"

The mayor explained to her son, her voice cracking if only a little.

"We have to find her"

Henry quickly replied.

"Henry we can't. She needs some space, some moments alone to understand everything that happened"

The former queen tried to reason with the boy.

"But what if she leaves? You can't let that happen, mom. You can't let her go. We are her happy ending and she's ours."

He replied and no more arguments were needed.

SQSQ

As Emma wandered through Storybrooke she could have sworn she had gone as far as she could from the mayoral mansion, but apparently she hadn't.

As she rounded a corner, when finally deciding to stop walking, she was met with the gates of the mayor's house.

She tried to leave, but it seemed like her legs just wouldn't obey her, in the end she gave in and simply sat leaned on the wall.

She had no idea what to do.

Her heart told her she should just go back inside the mansion and let Regina explain everything to her and just fix things, but her mind just screamed at her to run as fast and as farther as she could.

SQSQ

Henry ran all the way to the gates, opening it as quickly as he could in hopes he would find his blonde mother nearby. He hadn't expect to find her leaned against the wall, though.

"Emma"

He called and walked up to her.

"Hey kid"

Emma greeted half heartily.

"Henry"

The boy heard his brunette mother's voice behind him.

After he left running she followed right behind but to keep up with him in stilettos wasn't actually an easy task.

The mayor focused her vision on her son, and only then did she realize she had found Emma. A relieved sigh escaped her lips and just when she was about to speak Henry turned to her and gave a look that said "I've got this, so let me handle it" that she decided to go along with.

"Look I know what happened and I know you have lots of questions, so can you please come inside so I can explain everything to you?"

The boy asked the deputy.

Astonished by the determination on her son's voice Emma merely nodded. She could really use some answers.

SQSQ

During the rest of the night Henry answered all the questions Emma had. The more she got to know the more crazy – though real – it sounded.

"I know it seems crazy and it's a lot to take in but it's the truth"

Henry stated.

"You're right kid. It is a lot to take in"

SQSQ

Regina had kept her distance all the while Henry had explained everything to Emma. She wasn't sure if the blonde even wanted to talk to her at all. She didn't know what had gone through the younger woman's mind but she figured it must have something to do with her former self and that definitely wasn't good.

"You said that the only magic capable of breaking the curse was true love's kiss, right?"

Regina heard Emma asking Henry.

The little boy nodded at his blonde mother.

"But how?"

Emma asked him.

"I guess you will have to talk to mom about that. Well, I'm tired so I'm going to bed. Goodnight."

Henry said and shot the mayor a look telling to go talk to the savior, before ascending the stairs towards his bedroom.
