Secrets our hearts hide

Regina parked her car in her parking spot. Seeing her parents and siblings waiting in the car looking bored as they were. Regina and Emma got out after quickly making sure they looked the same as before. Harold got out causing his family to copy.

"Where were you" Penelope asked annoyed as she looked at her youngest child.

"I had to stop off at work quick. I'm sorry. Let's go" Regina replied walking towards her front door. She unlocked it and walked in. Her family and Emma following. She led them to the lounge which was large enough for everyone. "Make yourself at home" Regina requests as she stood in front of the sofa.

Regina's three siblings sat on the sofa in the middle. Penelope sat on one of the arms chairs and Harold on the other. Emma decided to stand behind the sofa since there was no free seats left.

"Well Regina? Explain yourself" the mother of the family asked as she lifts her fur coat off her shoulders.

"Dad was cheating on you mum with a few other woman" Regina starts awkwardly looking between all the people.

"Yes. I know that part" Penelope cuts in glaring across at her husband.

"One of them I accidentally slept with" the brunette nervously replied looking down.

"Accidentally? What did you do? Slip and fall" Diana said with a laugh of amusement.

"No" Regina sighed as she put her middle finger up at her sister. "It obviously wasn't meant to happen but somehow we talked and got closer. She kissed me and I just never pulled away" the brunette finished explaining.

"So how long have you been gay" Mitchell asked sitting forward curiously.

"What is your guys obsession with me being bi? Chill your shit" Regina sighed as she rolled her eyes at her siblings.

"Enough! Regina who was it" Harold asked feeling he needed to know.

"Christina" Regina softly replied going back to being ashamed.

"She was a hooker. You payed her" he said shocked at her response.

"You had an affair with a hooker" Emma asked as her eyes doubled in size and her jaw dropped.

"So your gay and hook up with gay hookers" Johnathon asked confused.

"No! How dare you all insinuate that" Regina asked offended in her family's response. "Other Christina. Blonde one who was a little taller than me. Not slutty hooker Christina" she scolds looking angry at her father.

"So your telling me you hooked up with many woman during our marriage one being a hooker?!" Penelope snapped glaring across at Harold in the seat opposite her.

"It was before we renewed our vowels and got married again. It doesn't count" he sighed thinking that was a right way to handle it.

"Yes it does. We will talk when we're home. Regina how long did this affair go on" Penelope asked looking away from her husband and over to Regina.

"Less than a month. I done it because I felt alone and betrayed. Me and josh were two years into our marriage and he barely acknowledged me. When she kissed me it was the first time in ages I'd been kissed. I know it was wrong and I've hated myself ever since but I'm human and I was alone" Regina softly admits finally feeling vulnerable in front of her family.

"Awe Regina. It's understandable you felt alone" Diana said in a soothing voice that caused Regina to smile slightly.

"Thanks. When josh found out we got into a huge fight. We almost divorced because of it. We ended up pausing on the fight and doing something else upstairs. After we agreed to stay married and start trying to be there for each other more. Also I promised him a child which I couldn't give him so he divorced me" Regina finished looking at the ground.

"Because you couldn't give him a child he divorced you? What a sick bastard? If he was still alive I'd kill him" Mitchell said in a shocked tone.

"I know. I honestly wish I was the person who killed him" the brunette woman softly said glancing up.

Diana stood to her feet and hugged her sister. Holding her close to her in a squeeze. Regina hugged her back and smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry I teased you all these years about you being too much of a wimp for labour. I didn't know" Diana apologised feeling awful for her past.

"It's fine. I'm fine honestly" Regina said pulling out her siblings arms.

The rest of the Mills family stood up and joined into a group hug. The first group huge this family had ever experienced together. All of them looked uncomfortable but liking it at the same time. Emma watched. She saw Regina's face holding a smile. They were looking at each other.

"Well done" the blonde mouthed in hope Regina understood.

"Thank you" she replied silently with a smile.

Emma winked before dragging her tongue against her top. She then bit down on her bottom hoping she gets a funny reaction from the brunette. Regina laughed as her family pulled out the awkward hug. They looked confused as Regina and Emma started giggling at each other.
