Emma Swan was beyond herself, beyond fighting the nagging doubts against the truth that lay in front of her very eyes as she faced the mob that had gathered in front of the Mills' family crypt. The mob itself had grown twice the size as it had been an hour ago when she had confronted them in front of Regina's house.
"Where is she?"
"Are you hiding her? Are you protecting the Evil Queen?"
"Get out of the way, she's dangerous! You don't know who she is!"
"Emma?" The sound of Mary Margaret's voice cut through the shouts from the mob and Emma watched as the pixie haired woman made her way to the front of the crowd. "Emma, what are you doing? Get away from her!"
Emma glanced behind her as Regina finally emerged from inside the crypt and stood behind her. She smiled adoringly at the terrified woman behind her and turned to face the woman who was apparently her very own mother and not the friend she had thought her to be. While she couldn't quite wrap her head around everything that Regina had told her, as Mary Margaret laid a gentle hand over her shoulder, she felt that recognition register deep inside her very soul, the recognition of the truth behind the words Regina had said.
"Your parents are Snow White and Prince Charming, Emma, and you are the product of True Love. I know you can't believe it, but it is the truth and you need to know that, accept it no matter how hard it is for you to do that. You need to believe because you are the Savior, Emma. You were sent here to this world hours after you were born because it was you who was predestined to break the dark curse."
Even now, as conflicted as she was, Regina's words and the feeling she had felt during that moment of recognition had her faltering, her determination to protect Regina almost fleeting at the rush of emotions that took flight in her body.
"Emma—"
"No," she said as she shook the pixie haired woman's hand off her shoulder and moved to stand closer to Regina, her hand finding hers easily and she intertwined their fingers. "No, I won't get away from her, Mary Margaret. As for all of you, what the hell do you think you're doing? You can't just come after someone with torches and pitchforks, yelling about how you want to kill her! This isn't…this isn't the same place as where you are all from! Justice is handled differently in this world and if any of you choose not to obey the laws that are in place, I'll have no other choice but to arrest you and throw you in jail. Now," Emma said through heavy breaths as she never once letting go of Regina's hand, instead she held it tighter. "I want you all to leave and go home and whatever revenge that you're seeking—"
"Are you siding with the Evil Queen?" Mary Margaret asked as the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves. "Emma, what are you doing? Just please, come away from her. She's obviously cast some kind of a spell on you—"
"Stop it!" Emma yelled out and the crowd grew silent again. "Look, I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this, around the curse and the fact that you people are fairytale characters from another land, but right now you are threatening the woman that I am in love with and that makes me very, very dangerous. And trust me when I tell you that you do not want to piss me off right now, because I don't think any of you know just what I am capable of."
"Nor what I am capable of as well," Regina said sharply, her voice even and directed at the mob that was slowly beginning to back away from the Mills' family crypt.
"She has her magic back!" Someone yelled and a few people started to move away quickly, running in the direction they had come, most of them dropping their torches and pitchforks and other weapons as they fled as quickly as their feet could take them.
Emma caught sight of Regina rolling her eyes, the remaining crowd thinning out until all that stood there in front of the crypt was Mary Margaret, Granny, Ruby, and Henry who stood between his two mother's and the others.
"Emma, please," Mary Margaret pleaded as she reached out for Henry to pull him away from the two women standing together, hand in hand in front of the crypt doors. "You have no idea how dangerous that woman is or what she is capable of doing to you. She could kill you in an instant, Emma. Please, just—"
"I would most certainly not kill her, Snow White, despite what you are possibly thinking at this moment. This has nothing to do with you, although there has been a few moments that I wish it truly was," Regina said through a snarl that curled over her lips. "You destroyed my happiness once and I will not let you destroy it again."
"You," Granny said as she stepped forward only to be held back by Ruby. "You need to pay for what you've done, witch!"
Emma felt Regina tense beside her and she looked at her, watching her pale as her confidence wavered. "Hey," she whispered as she turned to face the brunette fully. "Regina, hey, stay with me," she said as she reached up with her other hand to cup her cheek gently. "I won't let them harm you in any way. I promised you that and I will keep that promise no matter what it takes."
"Emma…"
"I don't care what you've done or who you were before, who these people still think you are," she said and she paused to look at the others watching their exchange in both fascination and fear. "I don't care because I love you," she continued, those three little words just falling past her lips with such ease that it still surprised her. She blinked past her tears, tears that mirrored Regina's own and she pressed their lips together tightly just for a moment before whispering the words again. "I love you."
Her fingers slid through Regina's short, soft hair to the back of her head and she kissed the woman with such longing, with such passion that she almost forgot they were in the presence of a captive audience, one that wanted Regina, the former Evil Queen, dead.
Regina's lips trembled against hers as they parted slowly, their eyes instantly locked in an intense gaze that had Emma's heart racing. This time it was Henry who stepped forward and broke the thick silence that had enveloped them all the moment Emma had kissed Regina.
"I made the wish," he announced and Emma watched Regina's eyes widen in surprise in hearing him say just that. "I made a wish upon a star one night a week ago that my mom would find her one true love so she could be happy again. It came true! Both of my wishes came true!"
"Both?" Emma asked as she moved away from Regina, but didn't let go of her hand, fearing what would happen if she did. "What other wish did you make, kid?"
"For you," he said quietly. "I wished that you would find me, Emma. I just never thought it would happen this way or that it would ever come true. But it did! Both of my wishes came true and now everything is falling apart because everyone wants my mom dead! Everyone except me and you!"
"Henry…"
"No!" He yelled, rendering those that were left standing there completely silent. "I don't care what you did in the past, Mom, just like Emma doesn't care because that is not who you are now! You don't deserve to die because they want you dead for what you did to them!"
Emma watched as some of the mob started to come back, taking a stand behind Granny, Ruby, and Mary Margaret. There were murmurs of discussion as Henry stared them down with a glare that matched one of Regina's when she was angry. Emma kept a tight grip on Regina's hand as the crowd began growing louder, arguments breaking out amongst small groups of people.
"Did you just say that the Savior, the one who was supposed to save us, has fallen in love with the Evil Queen?"
"That is preposterous!"
"She's Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, she can't fall in love with the Evil Queen!"
"That is enough!" Snow White yelled to the crowd as she moved to stand in front of Emma and Regina, her hands held out in front of her as the crowd grew silent. "I think, right now, just for tonight, we should all return to our homes and settle down. We will deal with this situation in the morning! I know none of you are in agreement and I certainly don't agree with the turn of events that have taken place, but tonight is not the time to deal with—"
"What, and risk that the Evil Queen is going to flee before she can be tried for her crimes?" Granny asked and the crowd was in complete agreement with her. "No, Snow White, I'm sorry, but we're not just going to let her walk away free. You, Swan, you're the Sheriff's deputy. Arrest her this instant!"
"No!" Emma and Henry said in unison. "No," Emma repeated. "I will not arrest her because she is not going to flee."
"How can we trust you?" One man asked, sneering as he pointed at her and Regina.
Emma's head was spinning and if she hadn't been holding on to Regina's hand, Regina acting as her anchor, she was sure she wouldn't have been able to stay standing for much longer. As the crowd began clamouring again, moving closer and closer to Emma, Regina, Henry, and Mary Margaret, it was Regina that pulled the three of them into the crypt and the doors slammed shut quickly with a wave of Regina's hand.
"What are you doing?" Mary Margaret asked, her voice raising several octaves and definitely nothing like the woman that Emma had been hanging out with for the past week. "Are you out of your mind, Regina?"
"They will attack no matter what you say to them, Snow," Regina said and she let go of Emma's hand and smoothed both her palms against her pants. "They are out for blood and will not stop until they get what they came for. Me."
"No," Emma said, shaking her head as tears burned in her eyes. "I won't let them kill you, Regina! This is not the way!"
"No, it isn't," Mary Margaret said quietly. "You've done a lot of evil things, Regina, but you do not deserve to die because of them."
"Do they believe that? No," Regina snapped and Emma could feel the anger as if it were her own and she could taste it as well. It was bitter, like rotten apples. "You can try to rule over them as you had before the dark curse, but they will not obey you while your husband is not at your side as he always was before."
"Where is he?"
Regina swallowed hard as all three sets of eyes landed on her. "In a coma."
"A coma?!"
"I had to keep you two apart, seemed like the only way to make you suffer," Regina replied coldly, her words biting through the tension in the air like tiny little daggers. "As you are well aware, Snow, any curse can be broken by True Love's kiss."
"Like this one was? With my own daughter?!"
Emma stepped back, watching the two come face to face, their past weighing heavily between them causing tempers to flare and tension to rise rapidly.
"Of course you refuse to believe it's true," Regina countered. "You have always stood in the way of my own happy ending, haven't you, Snow?"
"I—"
"Not this time," Regina said in a voice that even left Emma trembling slightly, her tone so sharp and deep that she was trembling not because she feared her, but because it turned her on incredibly so. "The people want me to go on trial? I will go through this trial and I will fight for my life in any way that I can. For Henry and for Emma. But," she paused as she cast a quick glance over at Emma before continuing, "I do not want to be locked up in some kind of a cell while I await this trial. You will take my word that I will not flee from this town and that when the day comes, I will stand before you all and accept whatever punishment you all deem to be fit."
"Regina…" Emma reached out for her only to come face to face with a woman she barely recognized. "Regina, they're going to kill you, aren't they?"
"No," she said softly. "Snow White won't let them, you won't let them."
"No, I won't," Emma smiled sadly at her. "I really won't. They'll have to kill me to get to you."
Mary Margaret cleared her throat, stopping them from falling easily into a kiss she obviously didn't want to stand witness to at the moment. "I will do what I can, but I am not doing this for you, Regina, I'm doing this for my own family. For Emma. Because after everything she's had to go through to get here to save us, ensuring that she has her happy ending, no matter who it is with, is the only thing I can do to make things right again."
Emma turned away from Regina to face the woman who was her mother, a woman who was nearly the same age as her, frozen in time because of a curse. She was still grasping at the truth, but she couldn't deny that feeling that it was all so very true.
"I'm doing this for you," Mary Margaret said quietly as she took Emma's hands into her own. "I know you are struggling to believe that any of this is real right now, but if you truly feel the way that you do about her, about Regina, then I can't tell you that what you feel is wrong. The only thing I can tell you is that I will try to do whatever I can to make sure that you get your happy ending, Emma."
"How do you propose we get out of here?" Regina asked quietly, stepping in to whisk Emma away from Mary Margaret. "It's not as if we can all walk out of here and expect to walk past an angry mob without there being blood shed."
"Now that the curse is broken, you have your magic back, do you not?"
"Yes," Regina asked, her voice wavering as Emma reached for her hand again and held on to it tightly. "I do. It's different, a little unstable, but I do."
"As soon as I walk out those doors, seal it. Nobody will be able to get in and it'll give me enough time to get them away from here so you three can get out safely."
Emma watched a silent exchange happen between Mary Margaret and Regina, a silent agreement as small smiles appeared and with a nod of her head, Regina flicked her wrist, opening the crypt doors just long enough for Mary Margaret to slip through and with another flick of her wrist, they were sealed, a shimmer of light washing over the doors with a whoosh.
"Now what do we do?" Emma asked quietly.
"We wait, dear."
"Don't worry, Emma," Henry said as he approached them both after having hung back to watch the entire thing play out in front of him. "I won't let them hurt my mom either."
Emma and Regina both embraced their son and they waited, they waited until they no longer heard the mob outside of the crypt many hours later. Despite the events that had unfolded, Regina told Emma to take Henry back to her room at the Bed and Breakfast because she needed to be alone. She promised Emma she would be safe for the night and made her promise, just out of earshot of Henry, that if anything were to happen despite Snow White's promises, that she would take care of Henry for her.
Emma didn't want to leave her, to let her spend the night alone, but as Regina disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke, she knew she had no other choice.
A month after Regina was put on trial, life seemed to return to somewhat normal in Storybrooke. It hadn't been easy to get to the point things were at now, but Emma was just grateful things had died down and the death threats against Regina had become few and far in between.
It had taken Emma weeks to fully come to an understanding of everything that Regina had told her down in the vault and everything else she'd been hearing from others in town, especially from the people who were her own parents—parents she had wished for throughout her whole childhood to come back for her. Although she felt uneasy referring to them as her own parents, it started to get easier as the days went by, but there was tension between them, tension because of Regina and the fact that no matter what they said, what they tried to convince her—even after Mary Margaret told her she wanted her to have her happy ending a month ago—Emma still stayed by Regina's side despite everything.
Two months after the curse was broken, Emma found herself finally alone with Regina for the first time since the night they broke the curse together. While they had been able to see each other almost on a regular basis, someone was always around, whether it was Henry, the Charmings, or someone else, being alone seemed like it would be utterly impossible.
"Hey," Emma smiled at Regina as she stepped through the front door of 108 Mifflin Street. "So, I finally convinced them to give me a few hours with you, alone."
"You are a grown woman, Emma, you shouldn't have to convince those two idiots to let you do anything. I don't even know why you've allowed them to prevent you from spending any time alone with me. It is just preposterous!"
Emma laughed as she wrapped her arms around Regina, pulling her in for a much needed kiss. When they parted, Regina sported a rather sour look on her face. "Those idiots," Emma said as she kept her arms firmly around Regina as she backed her way up to the foot of the stairs. "Are my parents, unfortunately, and they just don't seem to understand that I am totally, madly in love with you."
"I think it's not that they do not understand, they just don't want you to be in love with someone like me," Regina murmured as Emma leaned in to kiss her again. "You can do so much better than someone like me, dear. I know it and those idiots know it too."
"I don't have a choice," Emma whispered against her lips. "You are my one true love."
"Yes, I suppose that I am," Regina whispered and Emma's stomach fluttered as she felt Regina smile against her lips. It was the closest that Regina had gotten to saying those three little words back to her, but Emma knew how she felt. She didn't need to hear the words when she felt it in her heart.
"They'll get over it."
"And if they don't?"
"I am not going to stop seeing you," Emma said with sheer determination in her voice. "I love you, Regina, and not even the parents I forever thought had abandoned me because they didn't want me are going to keep us apart."
"I tried to kill your mother."
"I don't care."
"I poisoned her with an apple."
"Hmm," Emma said as she started to back her way up the stairs, pulling Regina with her. "I don't care about that either."
"I've killed countless of innocent—"
"Regina?" Emma stopped her with a single finger placed over her lips. "We've been over this a hundred times in the last couple of months and none of that matters to me because you are not that woman anymore, okay?"
"If I am not that woman anymore, than who am I?"
"You are Regina Mills," Emma said as they reached the top of the stairs and she continued to walk backwards, pulling Regina with her. "You are a mother, a friend, and a lover," she pulled her in for a brief kiss, smiling as Regina moaned the instant Emma pulled back. "You are mine," she said, sealing it with another brief kiss. "You are everything but that woman you used to be, Regina, and you know how I know that? Because you learned to love again. You left that darkness that lingered in your heart and your soul the instant you realized that you could let me in and love me the way that I love you."
Emma had gone through this very conversation many times with Regina, both of them trying to understand what True Love meant and how a complete stranger could fall in love with another before they even truly knew each other. After a while, Emma stopped trying to figure it out and just learned to truly embrace everything she felt with the woman that she now held in her arms. The very same woman she had yet to make love to in every way that she had been dreaming of for the last two months and she wasn't waiting another day, another week to make that happen.
"I want to show you," Emma whispered, feeling Regina's breath hitch in her chest as she stared deeply into Regina's brown eyes. "I want to show you just how much I love you, Regina."
"Emma…"
"Two months," she continued, her thoughts going back to the night the curse broke and the state that she'd left Regina in. From the look on Regina's face, she knew she had to be more precise in what she was referring to and instead of words, she moved a hand to cup Regina's center almost possessively through her tight slacks. "We have been together for two months and this is the first time we've been alone since that night."
Although they had spent quite some time finding small moments to themselves just like this, they had always been interrupted one way or another and Emma was tired of it. She was tired of being so sexually frustrated all the time and she'd had enough. She needed Regina. She needed every inch of her and she was going to have her tonight.
"Regina," she whispered as she rubbed over her, both of them clutching on to one another just a few feet from Regina's bedroom door. "Regina, can I…show you how much I love you, can I make you feel what I feel every time I am with you?"
"Only if I can too, my love," Regina whispered back, her own smile mirroring Emma's before their lips crushed together in a wildly passionate kiss, one that had Emma's body flush with arousal in mere seconds.
Emma smirked against Regina's lips as she moved her hand from between her legs and grabbed at the waistband of her pants, tugging her the rest of the way into the bedroom as they continued to kiss hungrily. She quickly found herself losing control as Regina slammed her roughly up against the open door, her hands snaking under her shirt and up to cup her breasts hard as they continued to completely devour one another, the kiss all lips and teeth and tongue.
Emma parted from Regina's lips as Regina pulled up at her shirt and practically ripped it off before their lips crashed back together and Emma was pulling at Regina's hips, desperate to feel her whole body flush against her own. Her naked torso was pressed against Regina's covered one, the soft silky material of her red blouse the only barrier between them. She tried to unbutton the shirt, her frustration imminent as Regina's hands palmed her breasts, fingers rolling over erect nipples and driving her need to get her out of the damned shirt.
"Emma!" Regina gasped as Emma pulled the blouse open, buttons clattering to the floor as she roughly pushed aside the offending material. "I cannot believe you just—"
Emma silenced her, kissing her hard in yearning as she slid her hands over the smooth expanse of Regina's stomach and up to touch her braless breasts. Two months of teasing. Two months of barely able to touch her like this and she had reached her breaking point. Emma reversed their positions, spinning Regina around against the door as she pushed the soft material away from her breasts as her lips trailed down Regina's neck quickly, her fingers back to teasing over Regina's hard nipples as she lowered her lips down to take one between her lips.
"Oh, Emma!" Regina moaned loudly, her hands moving to Emma's head as she arched into her mouth.
Emma groaned as she dragged her teeth over the hard nub, eliciting a sexy moan from Regina that had her sucking on her harder, her hands urgently pushing down her blouse as she pulled Regina into her, her lips and tongue lavishing hot open mouthed kisses across her skin as she reached her lips again. Her hands roamed over Regina's back and down across her perfect ass and to her thighs where she lifted her up suddenly and carried her to the bed, feeling the surprise and the arousal rushing through Regina and into her at that very moment. She knelt on the edge of the bed and laid Regina down, not once breaking away from her lips as she laid down with her.
"Emma," Regina murmured over her lips as Emma slipped a thigh between her legs, their bodies rocking together urgently, both desperately trying to feel every inch of one another.
"Regina," Emma whispered as she broke away from her lips suddenly. "Let me love you. Let me worship you like you deserve to be worshipped. I want to lick and kiss and taste every inch of your gorgeous body until you beg me to stop."
"Like I would ever beg you to stop. A queen never begs her lover to stop, she merely begs for more, my love."
Emma chuckled throatily as she allowed herself, just for a moment to look down at the lust filled brown eyes that stared so lovingly up at her. "Do you really love me, Regina?"
"I do," Regina replied instantly, without any sense of hesitation. "I love you, Emma Swan, more than I ever imagined myself to be able to love another."
Emma smiled and rocked her hips against Regina's thigh and she buried her face into her neck as Regina turned her head to kiss up along her arm slowly, one hand moving to rest on her lower back and the other curled around her shoulders, holding her close. As Regina's mouth opened and sucked at the skin on her shoulder, she threw her head back as they continued to move against one another. Emma gasped when she suddenly felt her jeans and Regina's pants suddenly magicked away and she leaned back just enough to look down into Regina's lust filled eyes. Their breathy moans and sighs filled the room as there were no longer any barriers between them, nothing but skin upon skin.
Fully enjoying Regina kissing and sucking along her toned bicep and shoulder, Emma reached back with her right hand to pull Regina's leg over her hips, increasing the friction between them as thighs slipped against hot, wet flesh. Emma's nails dug into the backside of Regina's thigh as she pulled her tighter against her.
"Emma," Regina panted, her hot breath spilling over the tender flesh on her shoulder where she'd left her mark, the red, tender flesh causing another shockwave of pleasure to roll through Emma's body, bringing her closer to tumbling over the edge. "Fuck, Emma, don't stop."
"Fuck."
Emma loved it when Regina swore, which wasn't often, but the way that one single word rolled past her lips was almost enough to have her come undone completely. Emma exhaled a shuddering breath as the hand that was on her lower back moved between her legs, fingers exploring over her cunt for the first time. Despite that, Regina's fingers moved expertly over her clit, teasing her as Emma drove her thigh into Regina's throbbing cunt in time of the subtle yet urgent thrust of her hips.
"Touch me, Emma," Regina implored as her fingers teased their way inside her hot core. "Please. I-I need you to touch me, I want your fingers inside of me."
Fuck.
Emma let go of Regina's thigh and pressed it down against the bed as she moved her hand between them and her fingers slipped through the wetness she found waiting for her. Emma captured Regina's lips with her own, moaning as she slicked her fingers over Regina's wetness, her breath coming out in gasps as she indulged in the feel of her and the way that Regina's fingers felt as they deftly slipped inside of her own cunt, matching Emma's thrusts, stroke for stroke as they continued to move against each other, lips crashing and tongues dancing endlessly.
Regina's moans were pushing her to the edge, and she loved every sound, every gasp that flooded past her kiss swollen lips. She licked over Regina's bottom lip, eliciting another breathy moan from her as she fucked her fingers harder and deeper inside of her quivering hole. They barely parted their lips, gasping as their eyes locked in an intense gaze.
Emma didn't let up as she relentlessly thrust her fingers inside of Regina, the heel of her palm grinding into her clit and she knew, she could just feel how close she was and all she wanted was for Regina to let go.
"Emma," Regina moaned as her fingers stilled, her whole body shaking at her orgasm flooded through her suddenly. "Oh god, Emma! Fuck!"
Emma was so close herself, but her focus was solely on Regina, watching as she came undone completely. The sight before her was completely beautiful, so beautiful it nearly stole her breath away. As their lips met in a deep, passionate kiss, Emma trembled against Regina's fingers as they thrust inside of her harder and faster, bringing her over the edge, hard and fast.
They held each other, clung to one another, kissing lazily as they rode out the aftershocks together. Emma smiled against Regina's lips, knowing she had never felt so connected to another before, not like this. It was intense and it was real and Emma could hardly stop the tears that fell from her eyes in that moment. Happy tears. She had everything she ever wanted, everything she never thought she'd had, right there in front of her and it hadn't been easy, it had been hard, almost impossible for the two of them to get to the exact moment they were in now.
"Emma?" Regina whispered, concern rising in her eyes as she lifted a hand to cup Emma's cheek softly. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Emma smiled. "Absolutely nothing."
"You're crying."
"Happy tears."
Regina smiled as Emma rolled on to her back and pulled Regina with her. She sighed contently as Regina slowly and softly kissed away the tears as they fell. Her lips didn't stop kissing over her skin and Emma moaned as Regina licked over the side of her neck and continued on a delicious descent down her body.
"Two months," Regina whispered over her skin, her eyes flicking up to look at Emma briefly before she dipped her tongue out to lick over a hard nipple. "Two months I have waited to taste you."
"Regina."
"Two long fucking months your idiot parents have kept us from finding time alone together," Regina said, her words sharp and biting as they slipped past her lips. "That is never going to happen again, understood?"
"Clearly."
Emma's heart was racing as she watched Regina kiss and bite softly at her skin as she continued to mark a trail down her body with her lips and tongue. She inhaled sharply as Regina's tongue licked circles around her navel as she spread her legs for her, her whole body tight and ready to feel that tongue elsewhere and everywhere all at once. She gasped as Regina settled between her legs, moving to lean up on her elbows just to watch the gorgeous brunette trail her tongue over her hipbones, teasing her.
She chewed at her bottom lip as Regina continue to tease her, trailing her tongue over her left thigh before moving to do the same to her other. Wave after wave of arousal flooded through her and she groaned as Regina teased her tongue over her pubic bone and inhaled sharply, a moan fluttering past her lips as she looked up at Emma with sensual brown eyes. Emma barely could hold on to the smouldering gaze as Regina licked over her cunt, drinking her in as she moaned against her hot, wet flesh.
Her hips jerked up shakily as Regina licked over her again, her tongue moving slowly over her folds and teased over her throbbing clit. Emma threw her head back, her hands grasping at the bedspread as Regina's tongue worked her over, hitting every sensitive spot just right. Her toes curled as she spread her legs wider, stars shooting behind her tightly closed eyes as Regina spread her lips with her fingers and slipped her agile tongue deep inside of her.
Emma could feel it, she could feel the magic stirring inside of herself, because of Regina and for Regina and she could feel their souls intertwining as she grasped on to that feeling, those small electric blue shocks flowing through her body as Regina filled her with her tongue, her fingers circling and grasping at her clit, making her cum harder than the last, her voice screaming out Regina's name over and over again as the woman between her legs didn't let up, not for one single second until she was coming again, her whole body levitating off the bed for a moment until Regina's lips were on hers again, kissing her into oblivion.
Meanwhile, across town, Henry sat at the island drinking hot cocoa with cinnamon with Mary Margaret, smiling to himself as he too could feel the magic crackling through the air. While he was far too young yet to understand just what was behind the sudden spark of magic, he knew it came from his two mom's, from their happiness, from their love they had for each other.
When he had made that wish that night, he never could've imagined what would happen had it been granted, had it come true. There were times, small moments when everything seemed to be falling apart and he thought that it was a mistake to make such a strong, powerful wish such as one of True Love, but it was worth it all, through the ups and the downs and everything in the end because his mom had found her one true love.
And she was happy. Boy, was she ever happy.
"Henry?" Mary Margaret asked, her face flushing suddenly as she fanned at her face. "I think maybe you should stay over here tonight."
"Okay."
"And you and I are going to have a little talk about you making wishes, okay?"
"Okay," Henry grinned at his grandmother before taking another sip of his hot cocoa.
As the magic in the air intensified, he knew that if he had to do it all over again he would, because making a wish upon a star for true love had truly changed everyone's lives, saved the town from the curse and brought his mother the happiness and the happy ending that he knew she finally and truly deserved.
THE END
Author's Notes: So, this story ended up being a lot longer than originally intended, but I had so much fun writing the last half of it that I simply could not wait to post it all! I would love to know what everyone thinks of this one because this is definitely one of my favourite stories of the hundreds of stories that I've written over more than half of my life :)
