Epilogue
The boy looked around him. It was over. Tomorrow he will have his life back, or at least a life he no longer hoped. Six months. It took six months far away from Storybrooke for that the two women he loved most in the world, finally find themselves! He smiled thinking about them.
- So you ready?
- It remains for me to close my suitcase! And you? Henry asked.
- I guess so.
- But ...
- But to be honest ... I think my brain has trouble assimilating what Regina and Emma told me.
- You also understand the need for you to keep it secret? Henry worried.
- You take me for who?
- For a girl, he teased, before receiving a cushion in the face.
A tickling fight ensued between the two teenagers, no one wanting to be the first to abandon. Finally it was Alex who snapped and begged the cessation of hostilities.
- Then you'll keep the secret?
- Promised! Anyway one would probably take me for a mad if I started to tell my brother's grandparents as Snow White and Prince Charming.
- Does it scare you?
- Yes and no. It is not for me I'm afraid ... that's for Regina.
- ...
- I know what she means to the people of Storybrooke and I cannot bear that someone hurts her, even verbally. You know ... I love her more than my own mother. For me it is my savior, my guardian angel. In a few months she gave me everything a mother can give to her child, love and ...
- And…
- A brother unbearable, she says initiating further hostilities.
Breathless and laughing to tears the two teenagers finally leave the room to join Emma and Regina who were waiting patiently.
- Well kid you took your time to a single suitcase!
- As if that bothered you, Henry replied by throwing a glance in the direction of Alex, which made blush the two women in front of them.
- Go drive everyone! We have a long way, Regina says.
Emma had managed to convince the brunette to spend a month on a family holiday to Storybrooke as soon as Henry would out from the center. Say that the former queen was anxious was an understatement. She was just dead scared. She would face with a population that hated her! For days or weeks Emma had vainly tried to reassure her but without success. Regina was still wondering how she could accept this crazy idea and push Alexandra in. Because what Regina had the most fear was to see the teenager go away from her or worse, her to also starts to be afraid by her. She could not bear to lose her, as she could not bear to lose Emma and Henry again. She was deep in thought, watching the landscape unfold before his eyes without really seeing it. Then she felt the hand of Emma on her thigh. The brunette turned her head to see her girlfreind smiles at her and put her hand on hers.
- Stop worrying. You'll see, everything will be alright. I promise she says, bringing the brunette's hand to her lips to lay a kiss. You're not alone.
Alone. Emma was right shewas no longer. Against all odds, Emma has decided to settle in Boston to be with her. She had even managed to find a job in a security company. They were happy. Of course, they continued to have some fights, but their relationship was stronger. Shortly after the arrival of Emma, Alex settled at Regina. The first days of cohabitation between the girl and the blonde were not any rest for the manager. In fact she sometimes thought to have not one but two teenagers at home. One tested the limitations of the other. They got to know themselves but in their own way. And gradually a mutual respect settled between Emma and Alex, to the delight of Regina. The only thing missing in this table was Henry. But right now he was here too, and Regina could dream at her happy ending. But this getaway to her past made her fear the worst.
- That's it ... here we are! Henry yelled.
The heart of Regina began to accelerate and some chills ran through her. Emma noticed the change in attitude of her companion. She squeezed her hand a little more tightly.
- We will first drop off our luggage at the mansion and then go grab a bite at Granny's, Emma announced.
- Uh ...look.. I'm not sure I'm ready to take it all at once, the brunette says in a scared voice.
- Now or later, it will not change. So much to break the ice on the first day, Emma says as she was parking the car outside the mansion.
- Wow! Alexandra exclaimed. But it's a castle!
They laughed before the astonished eyes of the girl.
- Come on! You'll see the inside is even more insane! Henry says.
The two teenagers rushed inside before the amused gaze of their mothers. Emma slipped his hand into Regina''s and mingled his fingers with hers.
- Ready?
- Not really ...
The blonde turned to face the former queen.
- You must only think about one thing ...
- Which one?
- That I love you! Emma simply says putting her lips on Regina's.
With this simple contact the brunette relaxed. Soon her hands were on the sheriff's waist, deepening the kiss. Mouths parted, tongues mingled, their bodies were craving and wanted more.
- Hum, hum ... We really cannot leave you alone five minutes, Alex threw in the direction of the two women whose cheeks grew purple.
- Gina needed a little encouragement, the blonde defended.
- Ok... come on ... It's not all that, but Henry and I are starving.
- Give us another fifteen minutes and we go!
- Great! Alex sighed, raising her eyes to heaven.
Finally an hour later they set off for the restaurant. At their arrival nobody seemed to want to get out of the vehicle. Emma, Alex and Henry could see the discomfort and fear in the eyes of the former queen. Finally the blonde out of the car and walked to the passenger door. She opened it and reached out to Regina. Trembling the brunette firmly grasped her hand.
All four were facing the restaurant.
Alexandra was not reassured, wondering how Regina would be received. She seized the other hand of the manager, which had the effect of reassuring a little more the former mayor of the city. She looked at Emma with a smile, sign that she was ready to face her past.
When the small group went inside, they were greeted with applause and shouts of joy. A banner saying "Welcome home Regina and Alex" was installed. Totally surprised and shocked, Regina burst into tears and curled up in the arms of Emma, who began to stroke her hair to calm her. Gradually the brunette relaxed and looked up to watch the woman who still held firmly against her.
- Is that c ...
- No! I assure you I am absolutely nothing, Emma says gently wiping a few tears that still streaming down the face of the manager. I think you have nothing to fear anymore in this city now, she added, kissing her tenderly.
Then a voice close to the couple was heard.
- Welcome home Regina!
- Snow!
- I'm glad you're back and I'm glad that you make part of my daughter's life and you bring her much happiness, Mary-Margaret says by pulling the former queen in her arms.
The two women stood for a moment in the arms of each other as if this hug and the tears over their cheeks put an end to all those years of bitterness and pain.
- Are you really Emma's mother? A voice asked, forcing the two old enemies to separate.
- I guess you have to be Alexandra, Snow says.
- Alex! The girl got angry.
- Oh ... well then ... Alex ... and yes I am the mother of Emma.
- But you seem to have the same age!
- Alex! Emma and I have explained to you who were the people of Storybrooke and where they were coming, it seems to me? Regina says.
- Yeah I know ... but to be honest I did not really believe you. I thought ... actually I don't know what I was thinking ... except the fact of being part of a family of crazy, but that was already a thousand times better than my real family. So I didn't say anything because ... well ... I was afraid ... in short ... finally it's all true ... so it's cool! Emma, Henry and you are normal ... or almost! Alex launched with a huge smile.
The rest of the evening took place in a good mood. Henry made a point to introduce his sister to everyone, while the inhabitants were warmly welcome the return of their queen.
While Regina was in discussion with Gold, she felt fingers intertwine with hers.
- May I borrow you for a moment, Emme asked to Gold.
Without waiting for the response of the latter, she led the brunette away from the crowd. Once alone, Emma grabbed lips Regina in a hot and passionate kiss, in which her partner replied immediately. They separated when the oxygen need was necessary.
- I'm sorry to have taken you at your new friends but it's been hours since I waiting for this moment! Emma says in a breath.
- Don't ever be sorry for that! I think I was as eager as you, the manager smiles .
- And then?
- And then what?
- Want to move back here?
- Well ... not really!
- ...
- Uh ... sorry ... is what you want to come back to live here? Regina questioned worried face of the silence of her companion. I thought ...
- Ssshhh ... don't get excited. It is true that I thought perhaps this evening you had changed your mind but it's not serious. All I want is to be with you regardless of where you want to live, the blonde says smiling at the woman who stood in front of her.
- We could do a compromise.
- What kind?
- As spend the holidays in Storybrooke and the rest of the year in Boston. What do you think? Like that I quietly could take my marks in this city, face its people and ...
- And?
- And ... magic! Regina says while a violet smoke enveloped them.
The two women found themselves at the mansion in their room.
- You hide well your game Madam the Manager!
- The magic has some advantages! And you have opened my appetite, Regina replied forcing Emma to lie on the bed.
- I love you Gina
- I love you Emma.
THE END.
