The curse had just broken in the town of Storybrooke. Everything that Regina had
done was coming to light, and she knew that what she had done would not go
unnoticed by the people of Storybrooke, nothing could go back to the way it used
to be and that scared Regina. She had finally started to change, she was finally
happy. But not for long.

After the curse had broken and the cloud of magic dispersed throughout the town
Emma knew that the curse was true, Mary Margaret was her mother, and David was
her father. How could this even be possible? She had to go speak to Regina. As
she made her way to the home she'd spent do many hours a week in with Regina she
felt a lump in her throat, they had only been working together but to Emma it
meant so much more, her favourite part of the week was going yo see Regina. But
now against every little being inside of her telling her to stop, she had to go
and face Regina. Her door was unlocked so Emma let herself in and Regina was
just stood there against the wall with tears in her eyes like she knew that in
any moment Emma would be there.
"Regina how could you do this to all of these innocent people? You ripped them
away from their homes! I grew up without a family because of you!" Emma
exclaimed with a look of shock on her face as she realised the woman whom she
had fallen in love with destroyed so many lives.

"Emma you don't understand, in was over 28 years ago! I was angry and confused.
But now I'm not, I've changed! Please believe me Emma, I can't lose you."
Regina's eyes were filling with tears as her realisation of what she had done
all those years ago had struck her in one dramatic blow. Just as she had
realised the feelings she has towards Emma, she was about to lose her.

When Emma first came into town Regina knew that Emma would be the end of her and
made it her mission to destroy her before she revealed the truth. However her
objective changed when Emma and herself became closer, they'd spend hours and
hours together gruelling over paper work to do with the sheriffs office. Emma
was no good at doing her own paperwork. Hopeless to be exact. Yet thats exactly
what stared off Regina's Feelings, she loved helping Emma. Knowing that
without her help Emma would be a mess, and gradually Regina started to realise
that not only was she helping Emma, but that Emma was helping her. Emma brought
emotions to Regina that she had not felt in a long time, Emma gave her
butterflies.

"I just don't understand Regina, you knew all this time? And you didn't say
anything! I can't... I just..." Emma was exasperated, in one sense she was angry
with Regina and she should be angry! Yet she couldn't curb the feeling of
affection and admiration towards Regina.
Emma shook her head a few times as her eyes glazed over with the look of
disappointment and fear, "I'm sorry I have to go. I have to go find Mary... My
mother. " Emma faced her head towards Regina's hard waxed floor and shakily made
her way to the door.

Just as Emma's shaky hand grasped the door knob, she heard a voice not like any
she had heard before. It was Regina? She had sunk to the floor with her back
against the wall tears were filling her eyes, as she blinked the flood of
remorse and pain dripped down her face. "Emma... Please don't... Please don't
leave me. Not now." Her voice was weak and fragile, everything strong about
Regina had just melted away in front Emma's eyes.

Regina brought her hands up to her face, she stared at them and whispered "why?"
She then pushed her hands towards her face in order to try and shield herself
from the shame in Emma's eyes. Just as Regina had given up on everything in her
life she felt the soft grasp of Emma's delicate hand interwind around her
fragile wrists.

"Regina, please look at me" she whispered in Regina's ear. Regina's hands slowly
moved away from her face, her makeup had ran down her face creating a dark mark
along the path of her not so absent tears, her dark brown eyes slowly made their
way up Emma's body and into her beautiful green eyes. Regina was a sucker for
Emma's eyes.

"Regina, I thought that what you did would take a long time for me to accept.
But I... I can't stay angry with you. What you did was wrong, but you have
changed. I know you have, because well. I fell in love with you because of it. I
know that you could never feel the same way, but it doesn't change how I feel.
Regina I think I love you. And I forgive you for what you have done." Emma
showed a faint smile as her eyes glistened in the light, she started to stand up
in order to leave Regina's home when a familiar hand grasped hers and pulled her
back down to the ground. Regina placed both her hands around the face of the
beautiful blonde, and slowly moved closer towards her; giving her enough time to
move away if she wished. But she didn't. Emma wanted this more than ever, she
made her way towards Regina, gracefully grazing her lips against Regina's.
Regina was entranced by the sheer beauty of their kiss, she moved closer and
pushed her lips harder against Emma's, slowly tilting her head to the right as
Emma did the same. Their kiss was intense, Emma ever so slightly opened her
mouth letting Regina's tongue gain entrance to her beautiful mouth. Emma's hand
slipped down to Regina's waist as their tongues intertwined.

Regina moved her hands down from Emma's face and towards the buttons on Emma's
shirt, she gently popped open the top button, followed by the second. As the
realisation of what Regina was doing hit Emma she quickly pulled away, grasping
the top of her shirt to hide any cleavage that may be showing. Emma rolled back
off of Regina's lap and onto her knees where she clumsily made her way back onto
her feet and turned towards the door.

"I'm sorry Regina, I can't. Not yet. I just... I really like you. There are
things that you need to know before we can go any further. Please don't be mad,
I'm sorry." Emma wiped her face rid of any makeup which may have transferred
itself onto her face from Regina. She turned away from Regina and did back up
the buttons which Regina was ever so careful to undo.

"Emma, I... Did I do something? We're we moving to fast? I don't... I'm sorry!
Can I call you later?" Regina looked shocked and in disbelief, could she have
made the wrong move? Did she read into what they were doing in the wrong way?

"You didn't do anything I promise, it's just my... I just can't yet. I'm sorry.
Yes please call me later, we... We need to talk about it. I will talk about it,
I promise. Goodbye"
