Swan Queen Fan Fic

Honesty

Emma's POV

I paced back and forth as I waited for Regina. It's 4:59 and she promised to be here at 5:00 and she is never late.
"Regina where are you?" I anxiously whispered to myself.
Millions of thoughts rushed through my head.
"What will they think?"
"Will they still love me?"
"What if-"
Regina interrupted my thoughts.
"Hello Emma." She said with a smile and I couldn't help but smile back. I turned to her and whispered
"Are you ready?"
She looked back at me anxiously and said
"The real question is: Are you ready?"
" I really don't know." I could tell that she saw the fear in my eyes so I didn't even try to hide it. We walked into my parents loft and they greeted us kindly and unknowing of the news coming their way.
"Hello Emma, hello Regina!"
Mary Margret said with a smile.
"David! Come on down stairs Emma is here." She yelled up to David who was busy working on some case for one of the dwarves.
"Coming dear."
David replied. As David was walking downstairs I started to talk.
"So mom, dad, there is something Regina and I have to tell you."
I paused as they smiled at me waiting for me to continue.
"So I don't really know how to say this, and I really hope you look at this from my point of view."
I could see their smiles fading from their faces and looks of worry starting to form. Regina in the other hand stood there with a straight face unsure of how to act.
" Anyways, I or I guess we have some, um feelings for each other and have come to the conclusion that it was time to tell you."
They didn't look happy and I didn't feel happy. I am terrified.
"This is my way of coming out to you. Mom, Dad, Regina is my girlfriend and I love her very much."
We stood there in silence for what felt like a lifetime until Mary Margret opened her mouth.
"Regina can we have a moment alone with our daughter."
Regina looked saddened but nodded and stepped into the hallway. Once she was gone Mary Margret proceeded.
" Emma what the hell are you thinking? You aren't in love with Regina. You love Hook. I just don't understand." She said in a disappointed tone. David stood their quietly unsure of how to react.
"Mom please you don't understand, I really do love Regina. I have never loved Hook. Please try to understand."
The tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn't stop the tears.
"No Emma I can't deal with this."
She raised her voice as she stormed upstairs. I looked at David who still stood there as still as a rock and as quiet as a mouse. He looked back at me and then said in a calm sweet tone.
"It's okay Emma she will learn to understand. I'll work on her. I think it is great you fell in love and how you are so sure of it. Don't worry she'll settle down. Now I think you better go get your girlfriend in the hallway."
He smiled me and wiped the tears off my face, I smiled back.
"Thank you Dad."
"I love you Emma and so does your mother."
"I love you too dad."
I walked towards the door and went to look back but my dad was already halfway up the stairs so I opened the door and closed it behind me. It took me a second to find Regina, sitting in a corner wiping tears from her eyes.
"Regina? What's wrong?"
I had never seen Regina look so fragile, so scared. She always looked so strong and brave.
"This is all my fault, I'm the reason-"
I wiped off her tears and looked her in the eyes.
"Hey, now don't think that, none of this is your fault. I told you I was, well um am ready to come out and I knew that something like this was bound to happen. Okay?"
"But Emma if you hadn't fallen for me then you wouldn't have had to come out and you wouldn't be in this situation and I feel terrible for-"
The tears fell at a more frequent pace. I didn't know what to say, she loved me so much that she blamed herself for my mother's disapproval.
"Regina I promise you that this is not your fault."
"I still can't help but feel responsible. I love you Emma. Let's go home."
We stood up and I pulled Regina in for a quick kiss before heading towards the car.
"What was that for?"
She said with a smile after the sweet little kiss.
"Because you mean the world to me and I just want to remind you of how important you are."
We smiled and she help my hand on the short walk back to the car.
