Poison & Wine

Chapter 24


"I can't believe you brought them here." Mary Margaret told her daughter as David rolled around on the floor with all three of the pups the next morning. She had woken up her daughter that morning and found her cuddling all of the hybrid puppies in her bed.

Emma chuckled softly and shrugged. "I only have them until I can find them a home. And I had no choice! Ruby was crushed that she might have killed their mother and Dr. Walt would put them down!"

The deputy gasped, disgusted at the thought. He clutched Penny close to his chest. "That's awful!"

"We aren't keeping one, David." Snow insisted for the third time. It seemed her husband was quite the softy when it came to animals. She shouldn't have been surprised. He did use to be a shepherd.

The savior grinned. "And you're definitely not keeping that one." She pointed to the only female one. "Killian is way too attached to her. He'll probably wind up keeping her."

"Well that's one." The schoolteacher said. "Two more to go."

Emma walked over to where her father was and as soon as she sat down, Boss and Chief crawled on her lap. She felt like their mommy and it was only day one. The longer she waited to give them away, the more attached she would become. They were just so sweet and loveable. Even her frequently coldhearted girlfriend had a soft spot for them. If the former Evil Queen couldn't even resist the dogs, how was the sheriff supposed to?

"How's Regina feel about them?" Charming asked. He could only imagine what the mayor thought.

"She secretly loves them." Emma smirked.

The blonde man raised an eyebrow. "Think she'll take one?"

Emma shook her head. "Nah. I doubt it. I'm hoping Mr. Zimmer will take one or maybe both. I'm gonna talk to him about it tomorrow."

"Well everything will fall into place." David said surely. He was secretly hoping his daughter would at least keep one of them.


The next day Emma was at work. Her dad had the day off and Hook was usually late. His inability to be punctual usually irritated her, but since she sitting on her desk currently being straddled by her girlfriend as she shoved her talented tongue down her throat, she was thankful for every moment her pirate best friend was away.

"As soon as you're off your period, I'm never going to stop fucking you." Emma promised right before she bit her lover's lip and sucked on it softly.

Regina moaned her pleasure, hands caressing the younger woman's back. "Don't make promises you can't keep, Miss Swan."

The blonde groaned when she felt sharp nails rake down her back. She gripped the mayor's hips tightly started kissing her neck. Her chuckle was raspy and deep. It turned Regina on more than it should have. "That's a promise I'll very well keep, Madam Mayor."

Things were heating up and Emma started to think that maybe they'd do a bit of dry humping, but of course Hook had to ruin it.

"Swan! Swan! You'll never believe this!" Hook yelled as he ran towards the Sheriff's office. Inside the small room was Emma and Regina who were in an intimate embrace with the mayor straddling the savior on the woman's desk.

Green eyes looked at him as eyebrows furrowed. "What?" Her lips were smudged with lipstick and swollen.

He smiled. "I went to court this morning for my assault charge in Castine and I saw this." He held up a flyer.

Emma gasped and snatched the sign. "No way!" Her girlfriend tried to move off of her, but the sheriff kept her firmly in place. "It's Friday!" She exclaimed excitedly.

The pirate nodded. "Yes! And we're going, Swan! We have to!"

Regina grabbed the flyer from the younger woman and read it. "Why would you want to go to a Boston party reenactment?"

Hook chuckled. "Me and Swan have talked about going since she told me about it!"

Emma nodded and explained, "Killian's never been and I always go to get drunk and mock people."

"Sounds rather ridiculous to me." The mayor stated. "If it's in Boston then why was the flyer up in Castine?" She asked.

"It's a big deal." The blonde explained. "We totally have to go, baby."

Regina shrugged. "You'll have to tell Henry, but I won't mind having him another day."

The sheriff shook her head. "No. You have to go too."

"Hah." The former queen scoffed. "That's not happening."

"Come on, Regina!" Emma pouted. "It'll be fun. We can make it a weekend thing."

Killian cleared his throat. "You think I want to go on a romantic weekend away with you two lovebirds?"

"Tinkerbelle can come." The younger woman suggested. Both of the brunettes gave her a disbelieved look. "What?" She asked, confused.

"You punched her in the face." Hook explained.

Regina raised an eyebrow. "You called her a nosey bitch, dear."

Green eyes rolled. "Not to her face." She defended before solely looking at the pirate. "I'll pay for your hotel and make you share a room with her. If anything I'm doing this for you! To help you get laid."

The mayor rubbed her lover's shoulders. "Sweetie, I adore you, but taking a woman to some corny reenactment might hurt the situation. You might not even get laid if I go."

Killian laughed until his friend threw a sharpie at him. Emma looked at the older woman. "The reenactment isn't the only thing we can do. If we go for the whole weekend we can do romance, both separately and together." She argued her case. "Come on, baby. It would be good for us to get out of town and this is the perfect excuse."

Regina contemplated for a moment. "If the pirate can get Tinkerbelle to go then I'll consider it, but no way am I going with just you and captain guy liner over there."

"Agreed. I don't want to see you sucking face with the Evil Queen every second of the day unless I can bring my own broad to defile."

Brown eyes rolled. "Tink is a lucky girl." She said sarcastically.


It was Friday afternoon when the two couples were packing up the savior's yellow bug to leave for Boston. They were outside of Granny's Diner as they waited for Henry to show up and tell them goodbye.

Regina had her arms crossed as she watched Emma Hook tie the extra luggage the mayor insisted upon on top of the roof. Tinkerbelle was next to her watching the law enforcement finish up. "I can't believe we're taking this death trap." She commented.

The blonde laughed as she secured her girlfriend's baggage. "If your car had a backseat we could, but it doesn't."

"Where's Henry? Your mother promised she'd have him here before we left and if we don't leave by four then we won't get to our hotel until around 10 and who knows what kind of trouble we would run into in that God awful city of garbage."

Green eyes rolled playfully. "We'll be fine. I'm bringing my gun, just in case, so you'll be fine." She walked over to her true love and hugged her gently.

Regina had grown quite accustomed to the blonde's touchy feely nature and found she was quite fond with it. She hugged her back and erupted with a giddy smile when she heard a deep inhale from her girlfriend. When they pulled away she asked, "You did book the hotel rooms. Right?"

"I thought you did?" Panic flooded the brunette and she opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off. "I'm kidding." The sheriff smirked. "I got us the honeymoon suite." She wiggled her eyebrows.

Killian grinned. "Did you get us a honeymoon suite as well?"

Tinkerbelle grew slightly nervous as she awaited the savior's answer. Her and Hook had been on a few dates, but they hadn't had sex yet. To be honest she was fairly nervous to sleep with the pirate. She was already feeling attached to him and being intimate with him would only make that attachment grow.

"I got you guys a room with two queen beds in case you piss her off." Emma teased her friend, slinging her arm around her girlfriend's shoulder to keep her close.

Regina chuckled softly, leaning into the blonde's embrace. "Which is very likely to happen."

The pirate scoffed. "I take offense to that. If anyone will piss someone off, it will be Emma."

"Why me?" The sheriff asked with a small grin.

"Because you're dating the Evil Queen and on occasion you punched not only myself but Tink as well." He explained.

Emma rolled her eyes. "First of all, Regina isn't the Evil Queen anymore you dick and secondly both of those acts of violence should be forgiven because I'm paying for your hotel this weekend."

"You didn't break any bones so we're good." Tinkerbelle assured her. She was honestly just happy that neither the mayor nor the sheriff hated her. She had apologized profusely after the dust settled and was pleasantly surprised that the two were willing to forgive and forget.

"See?" Emma pointed out to her best friend. "She gets it."

"Mom! Ma!" They couple heard Henry yell as he ran towards them, David not far behind.

Regina beamed and hugged her son happily. "Hello dear."

He was breathing heavily when he pulled away. "I was worried I'd miss you guys."

"No way, dude." Emma shook her head. "We wouldn't leave without saying goodbye."

"Or without telling your babysitters the proper way to care for you." The brunette brought out a list from her purse and handed it to Charming. "On here is everything you need to know about watching him: No junk food, no candy, no video games before his homework is done. He goes to bed at 9:30."

David furrowed his eyebrows. "I thought it was 10?"

Regina looked curiously at her girlfriend before she rolled her eyes. "Fine. It's the weekend, so 10. If he gets hurt I expect a phone call no matter what time it is." She ruffled her son's hair gently and looked at him. "You're to be respectful and listen to your grandparents. Do you understand?"

"Yes ma'am." The boy nodded.

The sheriff smiled at the two of them before took the mayor's ridiculous list and handed it to her father. "Just make sure nobody kidnaps him and call us if he's badly injured." She summed up.

David gave her thumbs up. "Got it."

Emma moved to son and grabbed his face. She grinned at the goofy face of his. "Take care of the puppies for me, kid." She instructed.

Henry put his hands on the blonde's face. "Take care of Mom for me, Ma." He chuckled.

The savior laughed at him and then hugged him, scratching his scalp before she kissed his dark hair. "Be good for the grandparents."

Regina kissed her son's cheek one last time. "We love you." She told him before everybody scrambled into the car.


They had been driving for four and a half hours. They stopped by an Olive Garden before they got into Boston and ate. They were almost to their hotel and Regina was getting antsy because her girlfriend wouldn't tell her where they were staying.

"You're being childish." She grumbled, crossing her arms.

Emma huffed a laugh. "Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?"

Killian rubbed his head with a groan. They two up front had been bickering nonstop since they left Olive Garden about the damn hotel. "For Gods sake, Swan! Just tell her!" He snapped.

Tinkerbelle found the whole situation amusing. She had witnessed the mayor and savior argue and fight since she arrived in Storybrooke, but what she was seeing at the moment was a more domestic form of the arguing. It was rather adorable.

"I'm not telling her! It's a surprise!" The sheriff argued.

Hook rolled his eyes. "It's the Four Seasons, love." He informed the former queen.

Emma gasped. "Dude!"

"You two are driving me crazy." He told her firmly.

Regina gaped at her girlfriend. "You booked the honeymoon sweet and an additional room at The Four Seasons!" She exclaimed. "Don't you know how expensive that place is?"

Green eyes glared at her best friend through the rearview mirror. "Yeah, thanks a lot, Hook."

"Are you always this loose with your money?" The brunette asked her true love.

Emma groaned. "No, but this our first weekend trip. I figured-"

"That you would bankrupt yourself?" Regina yelled.

Tinkerbelle looked at Hook and whispered, "This is much better than their playful bickering." She spoke sarcastically.

The sheriff scoffed. "I'm hardly going bankrupt."

Regina shook her head. "No. I'm paying for the rooms. You already had to get your oil change, tires rotated, and you paid for the gas to come here."

"You aren't paying." The blonde informed her girlfriend firmly. "I invited everyone so I'm paying."

"No!"

"Yes."

"Baby, you're overacting. This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you." She told the older woman. "You act like I don't know how to manage my money. Like I'm some child you have to take care of. If I say I got it, I got it." Brown eyes rolled as she looked out the window. "I just want this weekend to go smoothly. Can we do that and when we get back you can yell at me about the choices I make with my hard earned money?"

The mayor sighed deeply but relented. "Fine. But I'm buying dinner for us tomorrow night."

Emma smiled softly, knowing it was a win. "Anything you want, dear."


They had checked into their respective hotel rooms and Emma had just dragged the last of her girlfriend's luggage into the room. "You do know that we're only going to be gone for two nights, right? We aren't moving here so there's no need for three bags of luggage." Emma explained.

Regina was sprawled out on the bed, enjoying the plush material. "I wanted to be prepared. You didn't have to bring it up. They have bellboys who would have done it."

"I know." Emma sat the luggage down before she plopped down next to the brunette on the white bed. "But my girlfriend was bitching about me being too loose with my money so I figured I should tighten up the wallet a little."

"She sounds like a total bitch. You should leave her." The mayor turned on her side to look at her beloved and smiled. "I'm sorry for making you feel like I was scolding you earlier. This place really is beautiful. Thank you."

Emma grinned, turning on her side as well and scooting closer to her. "You're welcome. I want this weekend to be memorable. We need this, baby." She informed the older woman. "I know you probably didn't imagine our first weekend away to include Hook and Tinkerbelle, but-"

"But it changes nothing." The former queen cut her off. She softly stroked her lover's cheek. "We're going to go to your ridiculous Boston Tea Party reenactment with them tomorrow morning and tomorrow night is going to be reserved for us." She smirked. "How does that sound?"

The blonde pretended to contemplate it. "It sounds almost as good as what I'm about to do to you right now." She crawled on top of the mayor and kissed her roughly.

It was needy and hot and Regina loved it. Kissing her girlfriend was easily in her top five favorite things to do. She tangled her fingers in golden hair to anchor the younger woman's lips to hers. She felt greedy hands start unbuttoning her blouse and happily allowed cool fingers to glide over her exposed chest.

Tongues tangled and moans meshed. Right when Emma rolled her hips down there was a knock on the door. "You've got to be fucking kidding." The sheriff grumbled, begrudgingly moving off of the brunette and towards the door.

Regina sat up but didn't make any move to re-button her blouse. "Tell them we don't need nor want anything from them." She hissed. Hotel workers were just a nuisance.

When the savior opened the hotel door she expected to see a hotel worker, but behind the wooden frame stood her best friend.

His blue eyes were worried and panicked. He didn't even think about it before he walked past her and into the honeymoon sweet. "You've gotta help me, Swan." He pleaded.

Regina heard his voice and shot up from the bed and towards a corner as she re-buttoned her blouse. "What the hell are doing here?"

Killian smirked lightly at the back of the dressing mayor. He turned to the sheriff and ran his hand through his hair. "I need your help, Swan."

A blonde brow furrowed. "With what?"

"I'd like to make love to Tinkerbelle." The pirate confessed.

Emma tried to fight it, but she couldn't. She busted out laughing and nearly doubled over. She saw the un-amused look on the man's face and attempted to calm herself down. "I'm sorry." She chuckled but then cleared her throat, composing herself. "I'm sorry. It's just… in my entire life I never imagined I'd hear that sentence." And she was laughing again.

Once Regina was fully buttoned again she turned around and stood beside her laughing girlfriend. "Why would you need Emma's help with 'making love' to Tinkerbelle?" She used air quotes.

Hook didn't appreciate her condescending air quotes. "Just because you and Swan like to fuck each other roughly doesn't mean everybody else does it that way. Some of us can be gentle lovers." He shot.

"We don't make love roughly…" Regina argued, "…all the time. We can be gentle."

Emma stopped her laughter at the mention of her sex habits and nudged her lover lightly. "Stop explaining our sex life to people. First my mother, now Hook?"

The pirate scoffed. "Please, love. Don't be a hypocrite. You told me that her vagina was the sweetest thing you've ever tasted." He rolled his eyes.

"You told him that?" The former queen gasped.

Emma's eyes widened at her best friend before shook her head and waved her hands. "Focus guys! This isn't about my sex life-"

"Which you apparently don't keep private." Regina spat with a glare.

"Killian," The blonde turned to him, "what do you mean when you say that you need my help?"

Hook sat down on the soft bed and sighed deeply. "It's been quite a while since I last had sex."

The savior tied her hair up in a comfortable bun. "How long has it been?"

"Six months." He revealed.

Regina scoffed. "Six months isn't that long ago."

"Bullshit it isn't." The younger woman argued. "But it's like riding a bike, dude. You'll be fine."

Killian wasn't comforted. "I'm not worried about the love making itself." He informed them. "I'm worried about what happens after."

Blonde eyebrows furrowed. "Like, with your relationship?"

The man nodded. "Yes."

"Well don't you want to be with her?" The former queen asked, arms crossing in intimidation. She knew the fairy was rather infatuated with the one handed wonder and while she certainly didn't see the appeal, she wanted Green to be happy.

"Of course I want to be with her." He stated. "But once we're together that way then we're together. Y'know? I haven't been with anyone since Milah. Except Cora, but that was strictly sex."

"Oh ew!" Emma gagged. "You slept with her?"

Regina chuckled softly at her girlfriend's reaction. "You didn't know? Yes, my mother got around."

"My point," The pirate continued, "is that I don't know how to be close with a woman I care for."

Emma smiled softly and sat down next to her friend. "Aw, you do have a heart." She teased and wrapped her arms around him. "Look dude, I love you and all, but don't you remember what you told me when I didn't want to go after Regina because I was scared?"

"I say a lot of wise things, love. You'll have to remind me."

The blonde chuckled. "You told me to go with the flow."

Regina raised an eyebrow. "Real great advice there, Hook."

"Go with the flow." Killian tried out the words. "I suppose it did work for you."

Emma nodded happily. "Yeah. And now I've got a sexy girlfriend who's vagina is the sweetest thing I've ever tasted." She teased the mayor, who made sure to swat angrily at the younger woman.


Hook and Tinkerbelle made passionate love until early morning. Emma gave them a knowing smirk the next morning when they came out of the hotel.

They drove to the area where the reenactment was happening and Tinkerbelle and Regina feel behind as their childish lovers drank their alcohol and mocked the people dressed in old clothes.

"Your girlfriend acts like a seven year old." Green laughed, walking close to the mayor.

Regina chuckled along with her. "Your boyfriend acts the exact same way."

Tinkerbelle smiled softly. "So… have you told her yet?" She questioned.

Brown eyes furrowed. "Told her what?"

"That you love her." The fairy said in a 'duh' tone.

The former queen flushed. "I have not. No."

"Holding out until she says it, huh?" The dirty blonde teased with a smile.

Regina nodded. "Honestly, yeah."

"When did you know?" The fairy asked. "That you were in love with her?"

The brunette thought about it seriously for a moment. "I'm not sure, really. There was never a moment that I can pinpoint when I fell in love with her, but several weeks ago she brought me lunch. It was a Kale salad that wasn't from Granny's and she looked so proud of herself for bringing me something that wasn't deep fried." She chuckled at the memory. "She grinned at me and that's when I realized I was in love with her."

"Aw!" Tinkerbelle adored. "You two are so cute together."

The two women smiled at each other before they glanced up to see Killian and Emma talking to some brunette girl. Jealousy arose in Regina when she saw the unknown woman embrace her girlfriend in a hug. She strutted towards them and passively put her hand on the blonde's back as she pulled out of the hug.

"Hey honey." She said sweetly, ignoring the brunette woman.

Emma seemed torn between panicked and relieved that the mayor was there. "Hi." She greeted and kissed her sweetly. The sheriff motioned to the woman in front of her. "Baby, this is Lily. Lily, this is my girlfriend. Regina."

The former queen recognized the name and from the slightly irritated look on whore's face, Regina guessed that this wasn't good.

"Regina, huh?" The woman put on an obviously fake smile. "How long have you two been together?" Nope, this wasn't good at all.


DUN. DUN. DUN. Lol. Jealous Regina is about to begin. :) I know you guys just adore my cliffhangers. Don't worry, a love confession is coming soon. Next chapter is going to be up on Thursday. Tell me what you guys thought of this one! Until next time.
