Her heart was going to explode. Emma was sure of it. Regina was stood in front of her, pouring out apple cider. She looked beautiful. White cashmere sweater, denim jeans, her hair trailing past her shoulders. Emma looked down at her own outfit. Red leather jacket, tank top and of course jeans. Regina always looked beautiful, always looked so regal. She watched the former Queen look up at her, she watched her eye brow arch as she began to smirk. The saviour blushed and reached out to take the cider from Regina's hand as she quickly walked into the sitting room as Regina followed. She sat down on the couch as Regina sat to face her in the chair apposite. It was very reminiscent to Emma of the first time they had met. She winced, hopefully it would go better than that. She gulped down the drink before placing it on the table under a coaster. Regina was staring at her, obviously waiting for her to say something.

"I umm.. drove past Robin." Emma started, as Regina put down her drink and sighed. "He glared."

"You were expecting a friendly wave maybe?" Regina laughed coldly. "He was here a while ago."

"Oh, well no, obviously." Emma stated awkwardly. "I fucked up."

"We both did, dear." Regina shook her head before hesitating. "You realise, I love him, Emma?"

"Yes." She whispered, eyes filling with tears. "I'll talk to him, Regina. I'll tell him its my fault, he shouldn't leave because of me. You guys are meant to be, I should never have confessed, it was a stupid idea."

"Emma, do shut up." Regina pinched the bridge of her noise in irritation as Emma continued.

"This is all because of me." Emma wiped her eyes. "Not much of a saviour am I?"

"Do you honestly believe he just left because of the letter?" Regina enquired.

"Why else would he leave?" She asked. "He loves you, you love him. You're...meant to be. Happy endings."

"And what of you and Captain Guyliner?" Regina laughed. "You're his happy ending."

"Yes." Emma nodded. "I can't stay with him. I love Hook..but he is not my happy ending."

"You love him though?" Regina looked down and began to fiddle with the bottom of her sweater.

"He's a good guy, well he can be when he wants to." She began. "But you, are the only happy ending I want."

The room went silent. Regina wouldn't look her in the eyes. She was looking everywhere but Emma. Emma considered getting up and going, Regina didn't love her. She had told her she was in love with Robin. This was all she needed to know. She watched Regina sigh and get up. This was it. Regina was going to lead Emma to the door and tell her to leave. She was frozen as she watched Regina move around the coffee table to sit down next to her. She grabbed Emma's hand. The blondes eyes went wide as she looked at the hand to back up to Regina. Her Queen was smiling.

"You're a fool, Emma Swan." Emma was about to protest when she felt Regina's soft lips on hers. Regina grabbed the blonde's leather jacket and pulled her closer. Emma moaned and wrapped her arms around Regina's waist. She couldn't believe it. She was kissing Regina. Regina was kissing her. The Saviour was kissing the Evil Queen. She felt Regina pull away and opened her eyes. The Queen was staring at her.

"You kissed me." Emma stated.

"Yes, dear." Regina nodded, smiling.

"Why did you kiss me?" Emma said confused.

"Miss Swan." Regina cleared her throat. "You were incredibly careless leaving that note. I know things have been odd since you have returned from being the dark one. You have caused a lot of damage in my life. " Emma looked away. "You saved me, Emma Swan. So I saved you. I saved you because I love you."

Emma's head shot back up to look at Regina. She had said she loved her. There was so many things that Emma wanted to say. So many things she wanted to ask but nothing would leave her mouth. Emma caught the smirk on the Queen's lips. She was enjoying having made Emma speechless. Emma smirked back. The saviour brought her hand up to Regina's chin. She pulled the Queen forward and their lips once again met. The kiss was all fire. She felt Regina wrap her arms around her neck. She was making out with Regina. She was making out on a couch like a teenager, with Regina Mills. Mayor Regina Mills. Queen Regina.

"Miss Swan." She felt Regina move away from her slightly. "Please stop thinking so loudly."

"You're kissing me, you just said you loved me, theres a lot to think about." She pulled away from Regina and smiled.

"You're right." She watched Regina's smile drop from her face.

"You're married." Emma noted.

"I'm aware of that." Regina spat. "Do you think I've forgotten?"

"No." Emma protested. "I just..what are we going to do?"

"Well." Regina sipped some more cider. "Robin's left me, as you know. He's left me because I love you."

"I'm sorry." Emma sighed. "I'm so fucking sorry."

"I'm not." Regina assured. "It wasn't fair of me to marry a man when I loved someone else. He every right to leave me."

"Regina.." Emma began.

"No, Emma." She interrupted. "I understand this will be hard. I'm not expecting us to be walking through Storybrooke holding hands and giggling. We have other people to think about first. Henry, Robin, Guyliner and your parents."

"Henry will be fine, my parents should be since they're always on at me about finding true love." Emma observed, Regina rolling her eyes and shook her head at her. "Hook and Robin...we'll break their hearts."

"Indeed." Regina agreed. "You need to speak to him, Emma."

"I will." Emma watched Regina arch an eyebrow. "I will, Regina."

"This town isn't always about true love, Emma." Regina brought Emma's hand to her mouth and laid a soft kiss upon it. "Not all of them will be happy that two women, namely the Saviour and the Evil Queen found love."

"But.." Emma looked frustrated.

"They come from an old world, Emma." Regina smiled sadly at the woman in front of her. "This is going to be very hard."

A silence fell upon them again. Emma laid her head on Regina's shoulder. She could feel Regina rubbing her thumb over the back of her hand. She knew sadness and anger awaited them. Henry would be confused. He wouldn't understand where this all had come from. He'd have to adjust to a hell of a lot. Emma closed her eyes. She knew he would eventually get over the shock and support them. He would want them to be happy. Her parents would eventually do the same. Hook...wouldn't give her up without a fight, he would be hurt and angry. He would have every right to be angry with her. Every right to hate her. Robin already did hate her. She had seen the heartbreak and anger in his glare. Another upheaval for Roland too.

"Do you really regret writing the letter?" She heard Regina asked.

"No." Emma answered, smiling slightly. "Right now there is now where I would rather be."

"Me either." Regina smiled. "Me either."
