Chapter 19
"Baby look at me. Regina please, if you do this I don't think there's any hope for us. I'm not sure I can marry the woman who has killed my mother."
Regina threw Snow to the ground, spun around and headed towards Emma. She wasn't sure if she heard right but it was enough to snap her out of wanting to kill Snow.
"Emma, did you just ask me to marry you?"
Emma was torn between talking to Regina and checking on her mother. After a few seconds, she heard Snow coughing and she knew she was alive. She breathed out a sigh of relief.
"I didn't plan on asking you to marry me while you were killing my mother and I thought we would have been together a few more months before those words came flying out of my mouth. But yes, in my own Emma Swan way, I guess, I asked you to marry me" Emma mumbled.
Regina didn't have a clue where any of this was coming from, they hadn't been dating for that long, they hadn't even slept together yet and they had only just decided to move in together. Regina walked back down the path and headed over to Snow.
"I'm not going to kill you, but if you come anywhere my family again I won't hesitate to rip your heart out and crush it. I suggest you get out of my sight before I change my mind."
Snow pushed herself off the floor and made her way over to Emma. She grabbed hold of Emma's hand and squeezed it gently.
"Emma, I'm sorry but please don't stay here with her, you've seen what she's capable of."
"Snow, you need to leave" Emma ordered.
"Emma, I'm not leaving without you. Please come with me, I love you and I'm only doing this to protect you and Henry."
"Snow, I needed you to protect me when I was a baby, then when I was a child and even when I was a teenager but I'm now a grown woman and I don't need you to protect me. You gave up any right to protect me when you thought it was acceptable to take it upon yourself to kidnap me to stop me from being in a relationship with Regina. Regina isn't the problem, you are" Emma snapped.
Regina couldn't listen to this nonsense anymore, she flicked her wrist, a deep purple cloud appeared and when it disappeared, Snow was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did you send her?" Emma asked.
"I don't know, and I don't care. All that matters is that she isn't here anymore."
Regina gripped Emma's hand, pulled her through the front door and dragged her to the kitchen.
"Regina, what the hell are you doing?"
"We need to talk."
"Talk, about what?" Emma asked.
"Emma Swan, did you seriously just ask me that" Regina replied.
"Okay, okay. Let's talk, you start."
Emma pulled out a chair, sat down and motioned for Regina to do the same. Regina didn't follow she just paced back and forth.
"I almost killed your mother; how could I have let the darkness consume me again. I've tried so hard to be good, the Evil Queen is dead, everything that happened out there, was all me. I don't deserve you Emma, I think you should take Henry and move back to your house" Regina sighed.
She dropped her head, made her way out of the kitchen and headed upstairs. Emma followed her, she stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
"Regina Mills, get down here now" she ordered.
She understood why Regina was freaking out now she needed to get Regina to understand it. She waited for just over five minutes, when Regina didn't emerge from upstairs she decided it was best if she went to her. She ran up the stairs, walked along the hallway and stopped shy just of Regina's bedroom. She gently knocked on the door, pulled down the handle and nudged the door open ever so slightly.
"Baby, it's just me. I'm coming in and we are going to have a proper conversation."
Emma didn't wait for a reply, she pushed the door open the rest of the way and walked into the bedroom, there she found her girlfriend lying across the bed with her head in the pillow. Emma closed the door and walked over to the bed, she sat down next to Regina and placed her hand on the small of her back.
"Baby, sit up and look at me" Emma pleaded.
Regina raised her head slightly, looked at Emma and dropped her head back into the pillow.
"No, I think it's best if you go" Regina muttered.
"REGINA MILLS, SIT UP NOW" Emma ordered.
Emma didn't know her voice could sound so forceful and she sort of liked it. A few seconds later, Regina pushed herself off the bed, scooted up and led against the headboard.
"Thank you, now let's continue our conversation like adults."
"I'm sorry" Regina sighed.
Emma scooted up the bed, leaned her head a little to the right and pressed a kiss to Regina's temple.
"Don't apologise. Right now, it's my turn to speak and your turn to listen."
Emma leaned over, pulled the drawer of the nightstand open, rummaged through Regina's underwear until she found what she was looking for.
"Right, this is the talking vibrator. You can only speak if you are in possession of the vibrator" Emma explained.
"You are ridiculous" Regina scoffed.
"Excuse me, who has the talking vibrator."
Emma waved the vibrator in Regina's face, they purchased it about a month ago, Emma had started to feel guilty about them not having sex, so she decided the best way to help was buy the vibrator, much to Regina's annoyance. She assured Emma that she had nothing to feel guilty about and she would wait as long as it took the blonde to feel comfortable having sex again. After a few hours of Emma telling her all the benefits, showing her a few very expensive models, Regina finally gave in. She hadn't used it yet, she wanted the first time to be with Emma, so she unboxed it and shoved it in the drawer.
"Fine, the floor is all yours my love."
"Uh no talking remember. Okay, firstly let me just say that I love you. Secondly, can you put yourself in my position okay, just for a minute pretend it was you who was kidnapped, just like my dream."
Emma handed the vibrator to Regina.
"Okay, so I was the one kidnapped. I don't understand the relevance of this."
Emma grabbed the vibrator and placed it on her lap.
"Right, so earlier you said that it was you who attacked my mother and not the evil queen, you said that the darkness had consumed you and that you don't' deserve me and Henry. Nod if that's correct."
Regina rolled her eyes and then nodded her head. She wasn't sure why, but the thought of a more forceful Emma really turned her on. She shook her head, she knew those thoughts would have to wait until Emma was ready.
"Well, after my dream I got so angry and started to imagine how I would have reacted if it was you who had been kidnapped by Cora or anyone for that matter. I completely saw red and smashed up my computer and punched a hole through the wall outside my office..."
"Emma" Regina scorned.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, the darkness consumed me. What I'm trying to say is that when the person you love gets hurts, you sometimes can't be responsible for your actions. What you did just makes you human, I know Snow pushed you too far and you were only protecting me. Snow is fine, let's just forget about it and concentrate on us."
Regina couldn't believe how understanding Emma was being, she didn't mean to hurt Snow but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop it. She knew she needed to make an appointment with Archie to discuss everything that had happened recently.
"Regina, are you listening to me?"
"I'm sorry darling, I got lost in my own thoughts" Regina sighed.
"It's okay, now do you understand that you have nothing to be sorry about. I love you Regina Mills and I know that whatever happens, whether it be good or bad, you will always protect our family."
Regina grabbed the vibrator from Emma's lap, turned to face Emma and pressed a kiss to her nose.
"I love you too Emma, of course, I will protect our family. Now let's discuss the little matter of a certain proposal. Emma Swan, did you really want to propose to me or was it just something you said to distract me from nearly killing your mother?" Regina questioned.
Emma took the vibrator out of Regina's hand, opened the drawer and placed it back under Regina's underwear.
"I think this conversation is one we need to have without a Vibrator staring at us" Emma joked.
"I think that is a good idea."
"Okay, so I asked you to marry me. At the time I think I asked you as a distraction but when the words left my mouth, I realised that in fact marrying you would make me the happiest woman alive. That's where this relationship is heading, we're moving in together and marriage is the next step. Everything that has happened has shown me that life isn't guaranteed and when you crushed your heart I thought I had lost you before I even got the chance to tell you how I really felt. When I was kidnapped I felt the same, the thought of never seeing you and Henry again broke my heart. I love you, Regina, I want us to be a real family, I want to be able to call you my wife."
Emma jumped off the bed, pulled Regina's body around so her legs were hanging off the bed, Emma knelt in front of her, pulled out her hair bobble and grabbed Regina's left hand.
"Emma, what are you doing?"
"Regina Mills, the day Henry turned up at my front door I never knew I would not only gain a son but eventually find the love of my life. It might have taken us a very long time to get to this point in our lives but now we're here and nothing else, but our future together matters. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so Regina will you do the honour of becoming my wife?"
The happiness Regina felt was so overwhelming she could no longer hold her tears in. Emma started to panic, didn't Regina want to marry her, did she make a huge mistake in proposing. Emma placed her hand on Regina's cheek, wiped away the tears and pressed a kiss to her temple.
"Please tell me those are happy tears?"
Regina took a deep breath, grabbed hold of the bobble in Emma's hand and placed it on her ring finger.
"Yes, of course, these are happy tears. I love you Emma Swan and I want nothing more than to be your wife."
"So, we're really doing this?" Emma asked.
"Yes, I guess we really are."
A/N 2: So I hope you all liked this chapter and it looks like our favourite ladies are getting married. I hope to have this story wrapped up within another 11 chapters making it 30 chapters long. I already have the end paragraph worked out, it's just getting there. I want it completed before I go in for my operation so that gives me 6 weeks to get all the chapters complete. I hope you all stay around for the end.
