My Mother's Bestfriend (Sequel)

Regina's POV

I wake up feeling some type of way. I am laying on Emma naked.

"Do you want to meet your daughter?" I ask quietly. I know she's awake.

"Please...."

"All my clothes are the guest room."

"Why?"

"I couldn't sleep in here."

"I'm sorry Regina."

"It's okay Em." I grab a silk robe I left hanging up and I slip it on tying it. Emma puts in boxers and a sports bra with a tank top on. I smile and hug her quickly before I pull away blushing.

"So damn cute." She smacks my ass and I cover my mouth when I yelp. I open the door to the nursery and I see an awake Isabel. She looks over at us and smiles.

"Hi sweetie." My baby voice coming out easily like it never left.

"Why are you awake. You're never up this early."

"Can I?" Emma asks as I pick her up.

"You don't have to ask. She's your baby."

"I know it just doesn't feel like it."

"I'm sorry. That's my fault. I shouldn't have hid it from you. I even hid it from your parents. I knew if I told you that night you would've have left and then you would be here instead of a job that you want to do."

"How can you be so supportive knowing you'll have a baby you will be raising on your own?"

"I don't know but you mean too much to me to do that and be selfish and tell you because I want you to stay."

"I would've. If you told me I would've stayed with you and helped you through this. I mean you went through a whole pregnancy alone."

"I had Mal. She was there. For a lot of it."

"I see why you like her." I blink and look at her confused.

"I don't like her."

"You like her." She says smiling.

"No I don't."

"Oh hush Regina. The way she looks at you is crazy and you don't even realize it. She's cute. Not my type but she's cute."

"She's nice and she's been there for me. Wiped away my many tears and she's never pushed me to talk about it."

"I get why you like her."

"Emma. I really don't. Okay maybe a little, she's flirty and nice to me. Who wouldn't like someone who's like that? But I don't see us as anything more than friends. We've kissed and it was nice but it's nothing like when we kiss. We kiss with passion and desire and lust and love with her it's just a kiss. And I'm not saying that because you're here, but ever since I realized I liked her just a little I've felt dirty and guilty."

"You don't have to feel that way. I'm glad our kisses are everything because it was the same for me but you shouldn't feel that way."

"I feel like I'm cheating on my wife and we're not even married yet."

"Yet? Are you proposing sometime soon?" Emma asks smirking.

"God no. That's all on you. I'm definitely not the getting on one knee kind of girl. And I'd be the one crying. On one knee sobbing not even able to get my words out." We both laugh.

"Good. I was hoping you'd leave that part to me. I want to do that."

"It's so good to have you back here. How long will you be here?"

"It could be weeks maybe even months. I'm not sure until they call me and tell me to come back."

"So it's not forever?"

"I'm sorry." I nod.

"I don't want to think about how much time we don't have together. I just want to live in the moment. Savoring up every chance we get together."

"Good because me too." She says and she pecks my lips which surprised me. I blush and look down.

"Ummm, Emma about Mal. I think we are kind of dating. I don't really know what we are. She really likes me and makes me happy. Really happy Em."

"Okay."

"It's all really confusing. She's been the one person who was here when you left. I just, I can't forget about her like she didn't change me and Henry. He smiled because of her and he likes her or. He likes her and I can't rip her from his life like that."

"I understand."

"Thank you."

Emma's POV

I hear talking. I was tired and went to sleep upstairs.

"I'm not trying to make you choose." I hear a familiar voice say. I peak my head around the corner to see Regina and Mal standing in the dining room.

"I know but you knew I loved Emma when we started whatever we did start. And you knew I would probably go back to her the second I saw her again."

"Regina I know you love her and I have no problem with that but you can't string me along when she's gone and you need someone to fill in until she's back."

"I'm not doing that to you Mal. Is that what you think I'm doing? I'm so sorry. I don't mean to seem that way."

"Regina you shut me down any chance you get. You won't let me take you out. Holding your hand in public is like forbidden. I feel like some dirty secret with you."

"Mal I like you. I really really really freaking like you. I know I'm not the easiest to deal with but I like you....a lot."

"Then be my girlfriend. Because I like you too and it's almost been a year. We've been doing this almost a year Regina."

"You want to...." Regina pauses.

"Mal, I-" She leans forward kissing Regina and she grabs her hips. To say I hate seeing Regina with anyone else is an understatement. Regina slightly pulls away.

"Regina."

"Look Mal I'm not a cheater. And I like you but I'm in love with Emma and if Emma were to kiss me I would kiss her back and if she wanted sex I would sleep with her. I dont want to get together just for me to cheat on you, I like you too much to hurt you like that."

"So that's it?"

"Mal she was my first everything! My first time. Everything for me. I never dated I girl until her. I never even held hands with one. Mal it's so hard."

"I know. And I'm here for you but you can't tell me you don't feel anything, something between us." Mal whispers and she leans down and kisses Regina. She kisses back and Mal starts kissing down her neck. Regina hums and I cover my mouth so they don't hear my audible groan. I hate this.

"Mal.... we have to stop. I'm not ready for sex. I can't..."

"Yeah yeah okay." She looks down and Regina takes a step towards her and lifts her head a little. Mal is taller than her so she doesn't have to do much to make her look at Regina.

"Look at me."

"Regina I can't loose you so if that means we are friends. Then so be it."

"I just don't know what to about how I feel. I love her but I like you. You were here when she wasn't. You rocked me to sleep when I cried. You took care me. You made sure I was okay. You even took care of Henry who for a child shouldn't have been crying like that. He laughs with you and it's the most amazing thing ever because I couldn't even make him smile at me. He barely talked to me."

"And I plan to do the same when she leaves. I know it's going to be hard because all those tears and feelings of hate and sadness and angry will come right back and you and Henry will go down that same hole yet again. But I'll be here as a friend." Regina looks down and I know she's crying. Mal kisses her and Regina wraps her arms around her neck kissing her back with tears streaming down her face.

"Mal I-"

"I know Regina. I know."
