Chapter 9
Henry stared hopelessly at the ceiling of his room. It was a little after midnight, and he still had not managed to sleep.
When he went in search of Regina, he had not really some plan in mind. He has thought that once there he would see. But now, things have totally escaped him. Everything was going too fast for his adoptive mother. Six months without any memories and now she found herself with a teenage son and his biological mother in her life. Why had he trusted this girl! He wanted things to do more smoothly.
- I hope that everything goes well between them! He told himself.
While he was deep in thought, he heard a sort of scratching against the door. He stood up and gently opened it. Alex stood behind.
- What do you want? Don't you think you've done enough?
- Look… I'm real…
But before the girl finishes her sentence, Henry had already slammed the door. If he had found a certain resemblance between Emma and Alex, he didn't know to what extent.
The girl was not discouraged and continued to bang her fist.
- Let me alone! Henry shouted.
- Not as long that you will not leave me a chance to explain!
Grumbling, he headed for the door.
- You have five minutes!
- …
- Four minutes and twenty secondes.
- Ok, Ok! What you can be a killjoy! First, I wanted to apologize for not having respected my promise. But to be honest it was just too huge as info. No kidding ... Regina ... your mother!
- But what do you care? He says, furious a foreign to meddles in their business.
- What ... what do I care? It makes me that Regina was more a mother to me in a few months than my own mother. It makes me that just because of you she'll probably leave from here and I will find myself at the starting point, even if she promised me she would never let me down! You and your mother you land here and you screw up everything without thinking of the consequences! Now Alex screamed, the words punctuated by sobs. That's what it makes me!
Henry didn't know what to say or what to do to calm Alexandra. He hoped that her cries had not alerted the night supervisor.
Thinking about consequences was something that Emma never did and apparently neither he. But how could he know that his mother and the girl were so intimately related? They only knew each other for several months. He cleared his throat, regretting to be himself a little carried away.
- Uh… look, I'm sorry… I didn't know…
- …
Gradually the sobs faded and silence filled the room until Alex decides to break it.
- Do you think it goes well into your mothers?
- I would like to know.
Alexandra looked at the teenager with a smirk.
- What?
- What if we're going?
- You're crazy! And if we get caught?
- Well ... we are going at manager's home; it is a pretty good excuse, isn't it?
- We don't even know where she lives. And besides she lives in an apartment. How you gonna come in?
- First, I know exactly where she lives to have already spent a weekend, and second we have only to go through the fire escape overlooking the rear patio door.
- I see you've already thought of everything! Listen I don't know. I already have my dose of problems.
- Come on! Don't be chicken ... And then we never know ... maybe they are trying to kill themselves! In this case we have the perfect excuse ... we're just trying to avoid a massacre. Say yes! Begged the girl.
- I guess you're right and anyway I will not close the eye as I don't know if they are doing well.
- Cool! The « EmmaGina » operation is running!
- Operation « EmmaGina »? You don't have better? Henry laughed.
- Pfff ...

A few hours earlier in the manager's office.
- How you and Henry have you could lied to me? The brunette yelled by pounding the floor.
- Kids ... go to your rooms!
- But Mo ...
- Do what I tell you, Henry! The glare that Emma threw him didn't lend to the argument.
Henry left the office with Alexandra.
- You're proud of you! Henry says to the teenager.
- I ... I ...
The boy returned to his room and locked the door.
Meanwhile, Emma tried, without really succeeding, to calm an almost hysterical manager.
- Please Regina, try to calm down.
- That I calm down! You want me to calm down? Do you know what it is to spend six months of its life to search who you are; to imagine the worst scenario that can be your past? No, of course not! This is not the kind of questions we ask ourselves when we have all its memory, she continued to shout.
The two women faced each other, a few inches from each other. Regina failing to contain her anger at an Emma who didn't know what to do to calm her and shut up her. While the brunette yelled at her for fifteen minutes, Emma took Regina's face in her hands and crushed her lips against Regina's. She felt the manager relax against her, but when they parted Emma felt tingling and rising heat in her left cheek. Regina just came to slap her.
- No, but you're crazy!
- And you, what did you have taken to ... to ...
- Kissing you, Emma ended with a slight smirk on his lips. Dare say you didn't like it!
- What ... what ... but of course not!
- You're not very convincing with your stuttering! The blonde teased. Anyway it's the only way I've found for you to shut up and to be a bit quiet! Is it we can go at your home and have a chat a little more ... adult. I swear I will answer all your questions.
Regina lives in the eyes of the Savior guilt, but also something she wanted to ignore ... desire.
Thus in a heavy silence, the two women took the direction of Regina's apartment.

- And now we here! You see it was not so complicated.
- Yeah ... Apparently this is not the first time you do this kind of thing.
- This is the only way I know to stay alive, Alex says.
- Enter in people by breaking?
- It saved me from starving during my fugues.
- You did never get caught?
- In your opinion? Why I'm in a center for offenders?
- Yeah ... to stupid question ...
- Well now, shut up!
The patio door opened in the kitchen of the apartment. Alexandra had had no trouble to break the lock. There was no noise, no light, suggesting that the occupants were absent, or in the arms of Morpheus.
- Do you think they are killed themselves and we will discover their bodies? The teenager joked.
- Very funny! Henry muttered.
- Come on!
Suddenly as if the day had suddenly risen, a huge light filled the room.
- Don't move!
When their eyes acclimatized, they found Emma wearing simple boxers and t-shirt, with a gun in hand. When she recognized her son, she lowered the revolver.
- But what are you doing here? You realize that I could shoot you!
- Big mistake!
Emma turned to the girl who was decidedly not shy.
- I suppose you're Alex! Emma, the mother…
- Yep I know! Your story is not trivial.
- Well, you tell me what ...
- But what is happening here?
The brunette awakened by noises coming from the kitchen, discovered the scene before her.
- That's what I'm trying to find.
- And what are you doing with a gun in hand and in my house?
- I heard a noise and I thought that there was a burglar! Okay ... you're not gonna make a fuss! I remind you that I'm the sheriff and I know how to use.
In response Regina looked up at the sky, before fixing her gaze on the two teenagers.
- You realize that to sneak out of the center you can have very serious issues, see a longer stay!
- I was worried, Henry said, feeling a little silly.
- What! You thought Gina and I were going to fight ... hum... it might be interesting, the blonde joked while staring the brunette with an envious look that made blush the former queen.
Emma didn't know why she behaved as well, but she took a lot of fun to flirt with the manager, and to put her uncomfortable, what had only one meaning for the savior ... the brunette was not indifferent. What does it mean? She didn't know ... at least not accurately.
Surprising the look between his two mothers, Henry says to himself that there definitely was something going on between them. Was it good or bad? Whatever, the only thing that mattered was that they were fine.
- Well it's late! I'll call the center before the supervisor launches the police chasing you. The fact that you are here, you should avoid having too much trouble, Regina says by adding a wink towards the two teens. But for now everyone in bed. The day was more than loaded with emotions. I only have a guest room so we'll have to do with. Henry, I propose you the sofa bed in the lounge, Alex if you don't mind sleeping in my bed ...
The smile on the face of the girl was the best answer
While Regina and Alexandra took the path of their room, Henry remained a bit with Emma. He could not sleep without knowing what had happened between his two mothers.
Xxx
They were both sitting in the living room, none of them dared to speak.
- Do you want something to drink? Regina finally asked .
- Uh ... yes ... I think I'll need it.
Regina served her a glass of whiskey while watching Emma with a questioning look.
- My past is so bad? the brunette asked with trepidation.
- No ... well yes ... what I mean is that it is quite complicated.
- I see!
Emma tried in vain to think of a way not too awkward to talk about the past of the former mayor without to scare her.
- Look ... I think it would be best that you ask me questions and I will try to answer as best I can.
- ...
Questions ... she had so ... where to start?
- Tell me about Henry.
Emma then told him how she abandoned his son and how he was was adopted by Regina until the fugue Henry had made four years ago to go in search of his biological mother.
- And as you can see he has not changed ... this time he left to search you, Emma says sending a comforting smile to the brunette.
- How ... how was our meet?
- Not very well as you can imagine. I think the fact that Henry has searched about his biological mother you have deeply hurt. For him ... you became wicked, still on his back, asking him to always be the best ... and I ... well ... I was the new cool mom.
There was a silence that lasted several moments. Emma looked far her feet, looked up to find that tears rolled down the cheeks of the former queen
- I have a son who hates me.
- No, no ... not at all! Henry loves you. Do you think he would have gone to your search if he was not?
Emma got up to sit on the couch close Regina. She took her hand to comfort her, stroking the back of it with her thumb. The brunette did not reject her.
- It was a little lost boy ... that's it!
- And now ... I mean before I lose my memory ... how were our reports?
- You mean with Henry?
- Henry and you.
- Henry adore you ... in my case ...
Emma triturated Regina's fingers between hers, uncomfortable.
- You left because of something I did, she said in a whisper. If you knew how I regret.
Emma let out a tear that Regina wiped by depositing the palm of her hand on the cheek of the savior, who raised her head to get lost in the brown eyes of the former queen.
- Wh ... why are you doing this? You should be angry. If you lost your memories is my fault.
- It's hard to blame someone when you have not recollection of what that person has done to you, the brunette simply says. Do I have a job?
- Yes. You have a high post, Madam the Mayor.
- I'm the Mayor! Wow ... and am I appreciated by my constituents?
- ...
- I understood... they also hate me. I'm not so sure I want my memory back if it is to realize that I am a bad person, hated by her son and her fellow citizens, Regina says, by getting up from the couch, cutting physical contact between her and the blonde.
Emma stood up in turn and grabbed the wrist of Regina to force her to face her.
- You are mistaken. Of course, I will not hide that everyone had scared by you for years, but Henry has changed you. Some people are still apprehensive but many like you now ... I, I appreciate you! And I think both of us it was not won! Emma joked eager to ease the tension. You're a good woman and a great mom to Henry ... never doubt about that! Emma says, putting her hand on Regina's cheek.
The blonde felt the heat invade her body, she found herself staring Regina's lips and without understanding what was happening or how it happened, her lips crushed those of the brunette. Finding out suddenly her senses and thinking back to the monumental slap that the brunette had given her earlier, Emma moved away from Regina.
The two women were drowned in the eyes of each other, not understanding what was happening, but continuing to revel in this moment of intimacy.
- Hmm ... I think we'd better go to sleep, Emma announced in a weak voice.
- Uh ... yes ... I think it would be preferable. But by the way, you should not go back to your small town in Maine.
- I texted my mother to warn that my return was submitted at a later date. Good night Madam Mayor, Emma teased.
- Good night, sheriff! Emma ...
- Yes?
- Is what you told me everything?
- No ... not all ... but the rest can wait, the savior says by giving her a wide and warm smile.
Xxx
- If I understand well, you told her absolutely nothing?
- If you speak of the evil queen, Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs and other stories for children ... so no, I told her nothing. She would never have believed me Henry. Reminds you how I reacted when you told me that the inhabitants of Storybrooke came from the enchanted forest and I was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming!
- Yeah ... you're not wrong! But how are we going to do?
- I have no idea kid. But for now it is time to bed!
- Goodnight mommy!
- Good night kid, Emma says, kissing his forehead.
She had obviously failed to tell him the kiss that both mothers were exchanged.
