Chapter 8: Why did you have to lock me again in your car!?

"That's pretty good!" Emma smiled down at Brenda as the guard woman passed few papers for her to sign it. "I miss that muffin. Would you mind if one day I pass by and play soccer with her or something?"

"Sure, no problem. I believe she will be happy to see you again." Brenda took the papers back after Emma signed them. "Now you are off to go, blondie. Don't get yourself in this kind of mess again!"

"I won't! I promise." Emma smiled back at Brenda and grabbed her crutches as she began to move away and by the door there was the person who bailed her out, which she thought it would be Kathryn, right there, waiting for her, but it wasn't.

"Regina…"

Police Station

"Emma.." Regina cleared her throat after finishing her words, as she took a better look at the blonde. She looked a mess, did she got all this in the few days they were apart? Or did that all happen three days ago? Plus she wanted to know why Emma was here, because what she told Kathryn on the phone wasn't very convincing.

Emma took a deep breath as she felt something was squeezing her lungs. "What are you doing here? I thought Kathryn was here."

Regina frowned slightly as she approached the blondie, to stay only three steps away from her. "Yeah, Kathryn…well…she couldn't come so she told me to.." Regina wasn't sure why she lied, maybe because her pride was too strong.

Emma pressed her lips together as she looked down for a second. "Oh…" Then she looked back up at Regina and rolled her shoulders. "Shall we go then?.."

Regina watched Emma expressions wondering if she wanted her answer to be something different, but then she just shook that thought off and cleared her throat once more. "Yeah, let's go."

...

The car ride was pretty quiet and halfway was still left. Regina didn't know what to say to make Emma talk to her, because everything still seemed very shaky, even if she heard the apologizes through Kathryn's phone, she still wasn't sure if Emma actually wanted to talk to her or even be around her.

While Emma was just feeling very awkward around Regina right now and was hoping the brunette wouldn't ask any question about the police station or her wounds, she didn't want Regina to know all her dirty secrets. – So the blonde just focused her view out of the window and also at the mirrors of the car, and that's when she noticed a baby seat on the back seats of the car, which made her frown slightly, because last time she was here there was no baby seat, and Regina didn't had a child either, right?

Regina looked at Emma from the corner of her eye and noticed that the blonde got troubled about something. So she waited couple of minutes and Emma still had the same troubled expression and she began to wonder if she was in pain or something. "Is something wrong?"

"Huh?" Emma mumbled before blink twice and snap to the reality. "Oh, nothing…just wondering.."

Regina got even more curious about what Emma was wondering. Was she wondering about what happen few days ago at Kathryn's house? Was she wondering about why Regina came to pick her up? Was she wondering bad things or good things? "Wondering about what?"

Emma nibbled on her thumb nail as she looked up at the mirror seeing once again the baby seat. "Well…how long do you have that baby seat? Cause last time I don't remember seeing it."

Regina looked up at the mirror to see the baby seat too before get her view back on the road as she fixed her both hands on the wheel. "That's what you are wondering? I can't have a baby seat on my car?" Regina didn't want to sound bitchy but she wasn't still sure if she should let Emma know about the adoption.

"Well people usually have baby seats on their car to transport a baby, which means you probably know somebody that has a baby or you have a baby." Emma said as she shrugged and tried to not stumble through her words since she didn't know what to think about the idea of Regina actually having a baby. Did the brunette have a child this entire time that Emma doesn't know of?

"Maybe." It was all Regina replayed at the moment as she still remained unsure of her thoughts.

That replay made Emma frown as she turned her face to look at Regina. "What…" Emma mumbled, as the rest of the sentence was left in her mind. Emma needs to remember she is nothing to Regina but a toy, so Regina doesn't owe her any kind of explanation. "Okay, whatever." Emma shrugged again trying to sound like she could care less about the matter and then looked at the road.

Regina gripped on the wheel and looked at Emma from the corner of her eye. "Can't I have a baby? I am not old, you know. Neither my romantic life is that messed up to not have a child." Regina's bitch side was showing up again. It's not like she's upset at Emma, well maybe she is a tiny bit, but she's also being very protective over Henry.

Emma frowned slightly as she placed her elbow over the door besides the window and began to bite her thumb nail again. "Yeah, okay. You got the perfect romantic life, don't you? A husband, a child, money, a job, a good house, OH AND! You got a sex toy to spice up the usual life dream!"

"What are you talking about!? You are not a sex toy." Regina raised her voice as she was paying less attention to the road and the wheel, so she was speeding up.

"Are you sure? Because that's not what Kathryn said, but hey it's fine, I get it. I'd be desperate too if my husband couldn't please me." And that's when Emma went too far.

Regina quickly stopped the car, which made both women's head be tossed to the front as the seatbelt held their body back. Thank god they were passing by a very empty street so there were no cars around to cause an accident.

"Regina, what the hell!?" Emma shouted and groaned at the same time because her entire body was still sore from Killian's beating.

"I got enough of your whimper, Swan! You either solve this with me like two adults or you leave right now and we never see each other again but on the classes." Regina finally let out her rage and maybe she said something she didn't mean but Emma had to stop messing around with words that can hurt Regina too and just hear her out. Didn't the blonde apologize back on the phone with Kathryn? Then why couldn't she do that right now? Why was she pissed off at Regina again?

Emma was speechless by Regina's words so she stared at the brunette's face for few seconds like she couldn't believe on what she just heard.

Regina could see that Emma was confused, upset and angry at the same time by her facial expression, and that's when the brunette realized that maybe she picked the wrong words but she refused to back down now; so she just keep a serious expression and stared into Emma's eyes, waiting for the blonde's replay.

Emma after spending another couple of seconds staring at Regina like she didn't know what to do, she finally decided what she was going to do and open the door. She left the car just with one foot and jumped slightly to face car and then removed her crutches.

"Em-..Emma wait." Regina tried to reach out for a crutch but Emma was fast enough and was already walking away.

Regina threw her head back and groaned before let out a frustrated sigh. Why did this have to be so complicated? If it was somebody else Regina wouldn't let the frustration get her so much, she'd probably get rid of that person already but with Emma it was different.

Emma frowned and kept a pissed of expression as she used her crutches to just move away from Regina and go home.

Regina slowly began to drive besides Emma and tilted her head down to look at the blonde from the window. "Emma, get in the car."

"No."

"Please just get in the car. Let's talk about this."

"I don't want to talk. So I am walking away, just like you told me to."

"Stop being stubborn. I just want to talk to you."

"And I don't want to talk."

"Emma, stop this nonsense and get in the car."

"Nope."

Regina huffed out and gripped on the wheel with her left hand as she was trying her best to not yell at the blonde again. "Okay, fine. Get in the car and I will drive you home."

"I don't want that either."

"Ugh, then what do you want?!" And Regina snapped.

Emma stopped and took a deep breath as she turned her head to face Regina. "From you? Nothing anymore." And after those words she just continued walking away.

Regina clenched her teeth as she couldn't believe Emma could get to her nerves so easily and yet she couldn't let her go so easily either. "I adopted a baby two days ago."

Emma stopped walking for a second just to make sure she heard Regina right, but then she continued walking, slower than before.

Regina just kept the car moving after Emma and tried to control her anger. "He's beautiful." Regina cleared her throat as she noticed her words were getting Emma to slow down but it wasn't enough to stop her. "I wanted a baby to fill the loneliness, you know? Graham is never there for me and believe it or not one of my dreams was to have a child. Something my pathetic husband never wanted to give me."

And that made Emma stop, but the blonde refused to open her mouth or move. So Regina figured she had to say something else.

"Look…What you heard back at Kathryn's house was a misunderstanding. I never saw you as my sex toy, sure I did told her to stop trying to push me to say my feelings for you, so I basically said I had no romantic feelings and she assumed you are like a sex toy, which you are not." Regina took a soft pause before gulp and then continue. "You are special, Emma…and even if I don't know what I actually feel for you, I know enough to not let you go right now."

Emma nibbled on her lower lip and tilted her head back as she looked up at the blue sky with a few clouds. She felt kind of stupid to not hear Regina out at the first time after Kathryn's party, but she also felt relieved that Regina finally spoke out her mind, even if the brunette said she wasn't sure about what she felt, it was enough to relieve Emma and calm her down. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Regina looked up at Emma, finally glad the blonde decided to speak. "Are you serious? How could I? You kept pushing me away and refusing to talk."

"Yeah, and also locked me in your car." Emma closed her eyes as she raised her both eyebrows, clearly remembering the moment. "And then harass me."

"What? I did not harass you. Don't you act all victim on me, Swan." Regina rolled her eyes and smirked a bit.

"You did harass me. I was an innocent person just wanting to go home, but you locked me in your car and forced yourself on me." Emma opened her eyes again and turned her head to face Regina, she tried to make a serious face, but a chuckle desired to come out.

"What?! How dare you to say I harassed you when back at the dinner I was trying to have a good conversation with that couple you were pestering me underneath the table." Regina folded her arms as she managed to make a better serious face than Emma.

"Right…you didn't complain so it's not harassment. Know the law! And nobody uses the word pestering anymore, Regina."

"Yes they do, you just don't have a very fluent vocabulary, Miss Swan."

"Oh don't go all dictionary on me, Mrs. Mills."

And that's when both broke into a laughter and everything seemed to be more relaxing than ever. That's how this two worked, Regina knew that Emma would get in her nerves, and would usually bicker around with her, but in the end they were always right and that's what she loved more about being around Emma.

And Emma just loved how she could make Regina laugh, because the bitch ass attitude doesn't fool the blonde; plus Regina's laugh and smile was the most beautiful thing ever.

"Come on, let me take you home." Regina said as she reached out for the other door and opened it for Emma.

"Fine." Emma said like she was annoyed but kept the smile on her face as she managed to get back in the car without much effort with the crutches.

"And on the way you shall tell me how you got those injuries." Regina said as she started up the car again.

"Ugh, really?" Emma complained like a little kid as she huffed out while putting on the seat belt.

"Yes and maybe later you will tell me why you got drunk and broke in somebody else's house thinking it was yours." Regina perked up an eyebrow as she looked at Emma from the corner of her eye like she couldn't believe how the blonde managed to do such foolish thing.

"No way." Emma quickly said.

Regina just shook her head with a smirk and then drove off.

Emma's Apartment

Regina parked in front of Emma's apartment door as her happy expression turned into an upset one because Emma finally told Regina the truth about her wounds and she couldn't believe that Kilian boy done such thing as his revenge.

"Soo yeah now I gotta spend like three months with the case one. Sucks." Emma huffed out as she shrugged and leaned back against the seat.

"Emma...it doesn't only suck. You should charge him for what he did." Regina looked at Emma with a slight frown; she was upset but also showing concern for the blonde.

"Nah. Got enough of cops these three days."

"Oh please. You can't let this slide, they will come for you again, and they will do worse next time."

"Oh wow, thank you for your optimist side, Regina." Emma raised her both eyebrows as she forced her sarcasm.

"You know what I mean Emma…" Regina sighed out and turned to the window as she took a look around to the street.

"Yeah, I know. But don't worry, okay? I will be fine." Emma started removing her seat belt till Regina placed her hand over hers. Emma was curious about why Regina was doing that and when she looked up she saw the brunette staring intensely at something, well...at somebody. "Killian.." Emma mumbled as she gulped and nibbled her lower lip. She didn't fear him; she just didn't want to get in trouble again, especially with Regina around.

"Stay here." Regina said as she got out of the car with her keys and locked the car.

"Regina, wait!" Emma called out after her and when she saw the brunette heading towards Killian she tried to open the door but of course the brunette had locked her in the car, again. "Are you for real woman?!" Emma groaned out in frustration as she leaned back on the seat and watched carefully what was going to happen and hoping that nothing bad would happen to Regina.

Regina approached Killian that was leaning against his car as his two other friends were around him as well.

"Well well…Mrs. Mills? What are you doing here in these poor messy streets?" Killian folded his arms as he kept his lower back leaned against the car.

"Back off Mr. Jones." Regina said as she folded her arms as well and stayed three steps away from him.

"I am afraid that I don't know what you talking about, Mrs. Mills." Killian was trying to play the fool, hoping it would work.

But of course it did not. "You know exactly what I am talking about. I know everything about what happen between you and Emma, so if you don't want to go to jail and lose the all chances to finish your course to become a detective, I'd tell you to just back off from Miss Swan and never harm her again, threat her or even talk to her."

"Heh…I believe this is a big misunderstanding Mrs-"

"It is not a misunderstanding. Do as I say or I won't hesitate to charge you from assault, tormenting and stalking." Regina remained with her harsh tone and dead serious expression. She was not afraid of the damned young man and she knew she could easily take him down.

"Oh yeah?" Killian stepped closer to Regina as he remained half step away from her.

"No, no, no, no!" Emma gasped as she tried to open the door again, of course it was useless, but she still felt the need to try. She feared for Regina's sake right now.

Regina simple remained strong on her position and looked up at the taller young man, but showed no fear.

"I will tell the president of the university that you have been having an affair with one of the students, a student that is a woman, oh and a hooker too; in the end let's sees who goes to jail first." Killian was basically threatening Regina, and as cocky as he was, he thought that would be enough, but he was dead wrong.

"Is that right? I am sorry but I don't think he will believe on a troublesome student that decided to make up a story and tell him. The president knows I am a happily married housewife and also one of the best teachers he ever had on that place; plus how bad would that look for the school reputation." Regina smirked at the end of her words; totally feeling like she won this already and Killian should just leave and never bother Emma ever again.

Killian bite the inside of his cheek, trying to find any other threat for Regina, but there was nothing, she was absolutely right and he couldn't do much but do what she just ordered him to do. Leave the damn Swan girl alone. "Fine…I will leave her alone. But you tell her I already took her hot girlfriend, Ruby, well should I say ex-girlfriend? I doubt that sex goddess will get tired of what I have to offer." Killian showed a nasty grin and then turned around as he just went back to his car with the rest of his friends.

Regina frowned and felt like snapping his neck after what he said, he was so disgusting with his words and also made her remember that Emma still had a girlfriend, Ruby, well…maybe not anymore because if Killian is saying the truth Ruby is more busy with Killian and doesn't want Emma back, which as bad as it sounds, it makes Regina relieved and kind of glad. – So she just went back to her car while she could hear Killian driving off.

Emma watched Regina coming back and quickly let out a heavy relieved sigh.

Regina unlocked her car and got inside; and the first thing she heard from Emma, was complaining.

"Are you serious!? Why did you have to lock me again in your car!? Why did you go talk to him?! You know he could have hurt you, right!? Are you ok?!" Even if she was complaining out loud at the beginning, her last suppose question was only to show concern.

"Calm down, will you? I am fine, no harm done. I went talk to him because if you aren't going to do anything about this somebody had to; and I had to lock you inside the car so you wouldn't get out and ruin everything."

"Oh right, 'cause automatically you think I'd ruin everything?" Emma perked up an eyebrow as she puffed out her cheeks in a grumpy manner.

"No, I automatically think you'd act over-protective and not let me do anything." Regina smirked at Emma and poked her cheek.

"Okay, okay, fine." Emma swatted Regina's hand gently before smile and shrug. "Well thank you then. He's gone and I can have a peaceful sleep on my bed and not in that prison."

"Hmn…about what, even if I warned him about not being close to you ever again, I doubt he will do as I told him and he will probably come back."

"Yeah, I know. But whatever, it's not like he can broke in, so."

"He can, Emma. It'd be very stupid thing of him to do, but with his buddies all the time around him, he'd be able to do anything and harm you again." Regina frowned slightly as she looked at Emma's greenish eyes.

"Well what do you want me to do? I am not going to charge him and there's no way I afford having another place, the best I could was a motel, and it'd be a lot worse than being here." Emma just showed a clueless and helpless expression because she seriously didn't know what do, and she just desired to lay down and sleep it away.

"That's why I want you to live with me." Regina went straight to the point and actually stopped breathing after saying those words because she didn't know how this would sound to Emma and she hoped she wasn't doing anything wrong.

"What?...You want me to…live with…you?" Emma stared at Regina in a rather shocked manner, wondering if she was hearing right or if her ears were tricking her.

"Yes…only if you want to. I mean, you'd be a lot safer there, and I'd make sure you wouldn't be adventuring around, so you could heal quickly, and there's plenty space for you; and don't worry about Graham, he's now rarely at home and could care less if you were there."

"Wow…okay…wait…" Emma took a deep breath and looked down at her legs as she took the information carefully in her mind.

Regina just began to nibble on her chubby lower redish lip and hoping that Emma would say yes. She wasn't sure why this meant so much to her, but she knew she wanted this not only to protect and help Emma but also for herself.

"I don't want to be a burden, Regina…" Emma mumbled as she looked up at the brunette.

"You won't be. Sure you pester my mind tons of times, and sometimes my patience is thin for you, but other than that, you will be fine." Regina was messing around with Emma, even though that was the truth about her patience for Emma at times.

Emma took a while to replay but when she finally did Regina felt like she could breathe again. "Fine...I will live with you as long as I don't have to eat healthy all the time."

Regina frowned slightly and gave her a face. "I will think about that."

"You better." Emma smirked and bit down on her lower lip at the same time, which was an incredible sexy view for Regina but the brunette managed to hide the blush.

"Let's go get your clothes and then go home." It was amazing how saying the two words 'go home' felt so good for Regina, she felt like she was starting a real relationship with Emma or something.

"Okay boss!" Emma joked as she open the door of the car.

"And then you can meet the lovely little Henry." Regina said as she open the door too and stepped out of the car.

That name stopped Emma from leaving the car. "Henry?" She gulped after saying that name.

"Yes, that's the name of the little boy I adopted." Regina replayed as she went to Emma's door and helped out the blonde.

Emma decided to push the thought of that Henry being her son. There was no way it could be, right? What were the odds? "Oh, fancy name." Emma wiggled her eyebrows as she chuckled.

Regina simple shook her head and chuckled along with the younger woman.

And we are done with this chapter, guys. I am sorry for the long wait, I've finally got a job, and I am studying for some important exams that determines if I am allowed to go to college or not.
