Since Emma arrived here in Storybrooke, quite a few things had changed. I was well aware of it that I couldn't do anything to stop it. Soon enough she would find out the truth by breaking the curse. One way or another, I knew it would happen. By now, I actually wanted it to end. I wanted to be able to tell her everything.
I was sitting on the couch with the storybook that Henry got from Mary Margret. I opened it slowly and looked at the pages of me, crashing the wedding amongst other things. I sighed a little and slid my hand over the pages. This wasn't me anymore. Not only did the curse change me, Henry changed me and so did Emma. I wasn't this Evil Queen anymore, because I had things to fight for now. Back then, I only had vengeance. After all these years, it just seems silly now.
"What are you looking at?" Emma moved to sit next to me. I looked up at her and chuckled.
"History." I said softly and gave her the book.
"This looks a lot like you." She chuckled and moved to check the title. "Seems more like fairy tales than a history book to me." She said and went back to the image before flipping through it more. She came across the image of Snow and Charming holding baby Emma in her baby blanket.
"That looks a lot like my blanket..." She said softly and slid her fingers over the embroidery on the image. "Name and all."
"That's... Because it is you Emma. And that lady, that was me." I flipped back to the image where I crashed the wedding.
"How could you possibly mistake my impeccable sense of style?" I tried to joke a little, but she just looked at me with disbelief.
"How can this be real? They are just fairy tales... Didn't we agree that it was just Henry's imagination going wild? When we met..." She said and I just looked at her with a weak smile.
"I only denied it because I don't like the truth either." I said and got up slowly.
"I didn't want it to be true." I said softly and leaned against the fireplace. "But I'm the one who did all this. I'm the one responsible for all this misery." I whispered and looked at the blonde. "I'm the one who forced you from your parents. I didn't really give them any choice." I chuckled sadly.
"So you're telling me that I'm the child of Snow White and Prince Charming... that's crazy." She said and got up. "You can't be for real Regina." She put the book aside and moved over to me. "Why are you saying all this? Aren't we having a wonderful time together?"
"Because I don't want to lie to you anymore Emma." I looked up at her and bit my lip. "I... I love you, and I can't lie to you about who I am. I'm no longer that... thing from the book, but that doesn't mean I'm not the Evil Queen." I moved closer to her and held her close. "I want you to know the truth before it all changes."
"What do you mean?" She asked and I sighed before I kissed her.
A bright light came from the two of us, spreading through the entire town. I broke my own curse.
"What was that?!" Emma asked and looked around us.
"True love's kiss." I said softly and took her hand. I knew I wouldn't have long before all hell would break loose.
"Mom, what happened? Did the curse break?" Henry came storming down the stairs and burst into the living room. I looked at him and nodded.
"You really love mom." He smiled, but then realized what this meant.
Emma was still very confused and just looked at me with wide eyes.
"If you're the Evil Queen... And you really were as terrible as in the stories." She looked at the door. "I'm sure what will be lining up outside the door soon won't be your fanclub." She bit her lip and looked at me.
"Why? If you knew that would happen why would you kiss me?!"
"Like I said. I'm not going to lie to you anymore." I smiled sadly at her and then turned to Henry. "And I'm sorry I told you all these things aren't true. You're not crazy, you're so very clever my little boy." I whispered and got on my knees, hugging him. He held me gently and nuzzled into my neck.
"You've changed." He said softly and pulled back. "You're not the Evil Queen, not anymore." He said softly and smiled. "You changed since Emma stayed with us." He looked up at the other woman and smiled more. I hugged my little boy tighter and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, Henry."
-----
As expected, the whole town came looking for me. An entire angry mob in front of my door, pointing fingers and wanting me dead. I didn't expect anything less really, but it wounded me. Didn't they realize these lasts few months that I have changed?
If it wasn't for Emma, I probably would have been skinned alive right now.
"Don't you dare touch her! She is the one who broke the curse, because she loves me." Is what she had said. She was blushing and held onto my hand so tightly. For once, I didn't even know what to say, much less did the townspeople. She kissed me right in front of everyone just as her parents burst through the crowd. What they were met with wasn't quite what they expected from their daughter.
Now, here we were, sitting in my living room and the crowd finally gone.
"So... Emma, how have you been?" Was Snow's first question. I snorted and got up.
"This conversation is going to be awkward enough without me. I'm making some coffee." I went off and got no protests so I just went for it and bolted. I wasn't about to sit through the whole kiss and make up scene that was about to unfold, especially since I know Emma's story isn't a very pretty one. Henry joined me in the kitchen and looked up at me.
"Will this change anything between you and mom?" He asked and bit his lip. I smiled and crouched down.
"I don't know Henry. I guess we will just have to wait and see. But I can tell you this. I don't want her to go either." I slid my hand through his hair and made a mental note to have it cut again before kissing his forehead.
I rejoined everyone in the living after making the coffee. Snow seemed pretty out of it and on the other side, Emma looked conflicted and a little pissed. I sat down and served out the hot mugs before moving closer to the blonde. She leaned into me and sighed.
"Look, it's a lot to take in that suddenly I have parents who come from some strange place called the enchanted forest."
"Well, apparently you have no issues with consorting with the Evil Queen who drove us out of that same place." Snow countered.
"Don't include me in your argument. I was the one who told her the truth in the first place." I held up my hands in defense.
"This is just all so weird, Regina... Besides, you're my stepmother." The pixie-haired woman pulled a face. Emma looked up at me and then at Snow.
"Wait, what?" She asked and I chuckled.
"This is so messed up." I laughed softly and shook my head. Slowly everyone started laughing a little.
"I can't even believe this is happening." Snow shook her head a little and looked at Emma. "If you're getting real technical, your girlfriend is your step-grandmother."
"May I please note that I am not at all that old, and I never want to hear that repeated ever again." I said a bit displeased. Emma snorted and covered her face with her hands.
"This is so fucking messed up, that those words don't even really convey how bad it is."
"So... Does that make mom my step-great-grandmother?"
Can this day please end?
