Second Chance

Emma Swan-

Today is our last day before we take our flight back home tomorrow, so we have a relaxing day, shopping for souvenirs, relaxing on the beach, and now it's getting dark, we're having a meal at a local cafe.

We order something rather filling, I myself have an Italian special burger that's loaded with onion rings, cheese, tomatoes, bacon. Everything, and surprisingly Regina has a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. "What?" She asks.

"Never thought I'd hear you order such a food" i shrug, closing my menu and taking a sip of my iced Pepsi. 

"I have you know, cheeseburgers are in fact my favourite food, it's just not healthy Miss Swan" she whispers in a hushed tone, so I lean a little closer in challenge and wink.

"well I suggest we find some sort of way to lose all those calories Madam Mayor" I whisper in return leaning close over the table we had luckily gotten, were sat in the gorgeous garden of this cafe.

"I have a few ideas" Regina moans, leaning in impossibly closer and capturing my lips into a slow passionate kiss.

"Regina?" I hear but it's clearly not coming from my mouth as I'm being sucked in by the brunette. We pull apart and Regina whips her head around to find who may have been calling her name. I mean we're in Italy, who on earth could know her. "oh dios mio regina. eres tú" the blonde haired woman with a messy bun and a short green dress replied.

"Tink. ¿qué estás haciendo aquí?" She relies and I'm lost. What on earth are they saying?

"Cuando pones la maldición las cosas se vuelven difíciles. Tuve que encontrar un lugar donde quedarme y descubrí que tenía a mi familia aquí en Italia. Así que ahora estoy buscando un lugar para quedarse" the new woman babbles out and I think she's talking utter jibberish. I mean who can talk that quick, and actually be able to form a sentence.

"What did she say?" I whisper beside Regina.

"When I set the curse, things become difficult for her. She had to find a place to stay and discovered that She had family here in Italy. So now Shes looking for a place to stay" Regina fills me in. "Tink, this is Emma; Emma this is Tink, my old friend"

"Hello Emma" Tink replies and I hold out my hand but she immediately hugs me. "It's nice to meet you"

"You speak English..." I draw out and straight away she nods. "That's great, so could we maybe... speak in English so I understand please"

"Absolutely. Why are you here Regina?" She asks turning back to my girlfriend.

"I'm on holiday, just a little break with Emma" she responds, taking my hand in hers and instantly the new blonde appears shocked.

"è lei la tua ragazza?" (Is she your girlfriend?)

"Sì" Regina responds with an awful blush escaping her lips. "We're actually heading back home tomorrow"

"You're heading home tomorrow! That's not fair, I've not seen you in so long, please extend your visit" she whines, sitting beside Regina and hoping we will.

"Oh hun, I'm sorry, we need to be back, our son is missing us" Regina responds looking upset and I can see how excited she is to see henry again.

"Your son?"

"Sì. I had a son when I was 17, emma adopted him but long story short... were united as a family" she responds, caressing my hand with her own.

"Oh... I thought some how you managed to make a baby... haha... silly me" she jokes but it's not much of a joke. If Regina stood up, she would see that.

"We can also do that" I proudly respond, winking to Regina but Tink just appears confused, that's when I gesture Regina to stand up and she does, she shows off her rather big bump and immediately her friends hands reach for the baby.

"Oh my god! How? Do you have a... you know..."

"No" I break out into a fit of laughter. "God no"

"Well I for one know regina doesn't. How is this possible?" Hold on... how does she know that Regina doesn't. What an earth does she mean by this? But instead of causing a scene, I will just speak to Regina about this later.

"True love" Regina grins wide and instantly my manic heart rate settles, remembering what me and Regina and have is stronger than anything. I don't need to be worried in the slightest.

"That's wonderful! I'm so happy you found someone and I'm so happy you got your family. But I should go, let you two enjoy your last night, bye Gina" she hugs Regina first, for quite a long time actually and just smiles my way with a wave before we sit down. Finally it's just me and Regina alone.

"So... you have a thing for blondes?" I joke.

"Oh please emma. Don't start this now" she rolls her eyes and huffs her annoyance. I wasn't making this into anything but clearly this blonde meant something for her to get annoyed about. "It was one time, one little reckless thing"

"I thought you and I... I though I was your first time with a woman" I appear to be a little wounded, but I swore I didn't care, it stands I'm wrong. I'm jealous and I hate the feeling.

"You was... Emma ... Tink and I was friends, after you and I got split apart my mother dragged me to Italy to hide the remainder of my pregnancy from the kingdom. I met Tink and she was drunk. I hate to admit this but I also got drunk and I know it wasn't healthy for Henry but I was in such a bad state, and she... she kissed me and her hands begun travelling, she reached my centre before I grabber her hand and told her to stop, I swear nothing more happened" Regina explains herself but I find myself loving her even more and admiring her honesty. "I love you Emma, when will you know that I have eyes for you and only you"

"I believe you, I do. I love you regina and I trust you with my whole heart" I express, kissing her to confirm my overwhelming love. "Tink is just... so pretty and ..."

"Should I be the one worried em-ma" She taunts.

"No. Never" I state with conviction. Then our food comes and the rest of our evening was exactly as planned, memorable.
