Secrets our hearts hide

An hour later. Regina opened her eyes to see she was led on her sofa. She sat up a little confused at what happened. All she remembered was walking into Josh's study and then blacking out.

"Hey there sleep head" Emma said from the doorway with a smile.

"What happened" Regina asked so confused at the blonde.

Emma walked over to her and sat down on the sofa. She handed Regina the glass of water she had previously put next to her.

"You walked into Josh's study and freaked out completely. You started destroying his office and ripping it all up. I pulled you away and calmed you down though. You then fell asleep because I sang to you" Emma said explaining while she made sure regina was drinking the water.

"I'm so sorry. I haven't been in there for ages and seeing all that stuff about me getting pregnant must have made me angry. I didn't mean for you to see that" Regina apologised quickly as she felt so bad for doing that to Emma.

"It's fine. I've dealt with worse. My parents fought a lot" Emma replied chuckling at Regina's apology.

"I'll leave that room for him to come and do. I can't go back in and see all that" Regina said thinking about what sort of stuff she saw inside there.

"Ow no it's cool. I done it. I finished about five minutes ago. The whole room is packed up" Emma replied causing Regina to spit out the water in her mouth.

"You did?" Regina asked looking shocked.

"Yeah. I figured you wouldn't want to and I wanted to let you sleep" Emma replied smiling softly at Regina.

"Wow. Thanks Emma. I didn't expect that" Regina said softly as her mouth started forming a smile. Regina took another mouthful of her drink since her head was killing her. Emma stood up and slipped her shoes on. "Where you going" Regina quickly asked trying to hide she wanted Emma to stay.

"Home. I'll let you sleep and relax" Emma replied tying up her laces on her trainers.

"You don't have to go. You can stay if you want. Don't worry you don't have to pack. I'm done today" Regina replied as she moved on the sofa to make room for Emma.

"I don't want to intrude" the blonde shyly replied glancing up at her professor.

"Come on Emma. You know you want to" Regina chuckled as she patted the seat next to her. Emma laughed a little sat down. Regina smiled and lifted a blanket over them both. "We can Netflix and chill" Regina said causing a loud laugh come out of Emma's lips.

"Ow god you don't know what that is do you" Emma asked laughing so much she was going to cry.

"What" Regina questioned frowning her eyebrows in a confused look.

"Netflix and chill is another way of saying watching Netflix and having sex" Emma replied trying to calm her laughing down.

"Ow no not that. That will never happen" Regina said looking at her sternly but jokingly at the same time.

Emma smiled at her and winked. The girls always forgot Regina was Emma's teacher. They became good friends despite there differences. They decided to watch love Rosie. As the film went on Regina cuddled up to Emma. Her phone then vibrates in her pocket. She took it out and saw it was a message from someone she didn't expect. A woman named Penelope. Or as Regina knew her to be mum.

Penelope: Regina dear come home.

The brunette teacher looked at the message curious. She hasn't heard from her mum in awhile. She only messaged if something was wrong or Regina tried messaging first. That didn't happen often. Regina decided to message her back.

Regina: why? I have work and I'm very busy. What is this about? X

Penelope: me and your father need to talk to you. Your siblings are all coming as well. You must attend.

Regina: I can't say yes. I have work. I'm a professor mum. My job won't allow me to just take off and leave. I'll talk to them. X

Penelope: well you better. This is nonnegotiable. It's important.

Regina: fine. I'll leave Monday morning. Nice to speak to you by the way mum. Xx

Penelope: as long as your here before Monday afternoon and gone by Monday morning the next week that's fine. It's been not unpleasant talking to you too.

Regina sighed and rolled her eyes at her mother. She put her phone down annoyed which got Emma's attention. The blonde looked down at her curiously.

"What's wrong" she asked getting the attention of Regina.

"I have to go out of town on Monday. I hope work lets me have the time off. If it does our Spanish lessons will obviously have to be paused and my English lessons will have a sub professor teacher" Regina replied looking at the tv as she spoke.

"Where you going" Emma asked hiding the fact she is kinda disappointed Regina will be gone.

"Beverly Hills" Regina sighed as she thought about the place she grew up in.

"Why? You said you hate it there" Emma asked remembering Regina's exact words.

"I do but I have to. I'm going home. For a whole fucking week" the brunette said making it obvious she isn't happy.

Emma had more questions but knew wise not to ask. When Regina was mad she was best alone. They just continued watching the film. Regina thought about seeing her family again. The last time they all met up it ended badly. Very badly!
