Loving Ms. Mills

The Morning After

Emma's p.o.v*
I wake up and it's completely sunny outside. I hear the sound of birds, maybe hummingbirds, singing in the distance and the sound of other animals stepping on twigs and branches. I struggle to wake up but then I finally do after taking in a huge yawn. I look at Regina and I guess she decided to put on a shirt while we were asleep so I decided to step out and get dressed. I come back in the car and I stare at her beautiful brunette hair. She opens her eyes and we make eye contact for a good five seconds. She then moves her hand on my thigh and closes her eyes. "Regina... Love, I think it's time to go, we got to go... We don't need people seeing us." She shot straight up and threw back her messy hair into a bun. She tried to fix her face but she kept looking at me and smiling... Little does she know she woke up perfect in my eyes. "Swan why didn't you wake me up sooner... I could have been home by now." I giggled and shrugged my shoulders. She smiled and went back to putting on her cherry red lipstick. "Sorry, gina... I was too focused on your beauty." She looks at me and grins rolling her eyes and going back to what she was doing. "What do you say we go get some coffee and donuts... I'm sure Henry's missing you right now."
She furrows a brow and I just stare at her like a puppy staring at steak. "Oh... Yeah of course. Henry's probably like alright then." She giggles and looks at me. She tilts her head and starts laughing... "HeS PrOaBlY lIkE aLrIgHt ThEn. Goodbye! have you not met your son he really goes his ways for you... Super sweet kid... You raised him well."
I look at the scar on the corner of her lip. "Hey, how'd you get that?"
She looks at me and looks away. "I fell. Into a tree." She looks to the side covering her face. "Okay... I won't talk about it." I look out the window and the trees and the grass and the signs as we pass by everything. I had nothing better to do. "Swan... I'm gonna take you home, I'm now realizing it's kind of early. I'm sorry love." I smile and nod. She's the softest person ever I don't know how people fear her!

We get to my house and I grab my stuff and get out of her car. "Thank you so much. For the night, for the intimacy, for everything." She smiles and nods proceeding to say of course.
I walk inside the house and Mary Margret and David along with henry and Belle were all standing up.
I look at belle and widen my eyes and she just shrugs and does the same. "So hey guys?! What's going on? Mom I thought you left him?" Mary Margret looks at David and smiles and then looks back at me. "Emma we have to move. We're leaving the state as a family tomorrow. I want a fresh start I bought a huge house in New York close to an elementary school and a really good high school. We met the staff there they're pretty good super pretty good even. I remember when I was your age all my teachers were old and grumpy. This is a good thing!" She says grabbing her right wrist with her left thumb and middle finger. I look at David who looks away avoiding eye contact and then back at belle who looks away to gather her things and leave. "Did you ever ask me how I felt about it? Things are just starting to get good." David turns to me and snaps back quickly "EMMA we need this. You can come back after you graduate. It's not a big deal. Tell your friends bye today because you will not be attending school tomorrow for packing reasons. And the movers are gonna have everything together in three days. We're moving tomorrow! And that's final you're still our kid and we still have custody and rights over you and Henry." I roll my eyes and go into my room that's almost bare. I flop down on top of the bed and start crying. Just wait till I tell gina. I open my phone and go through my contacts hesitant to call the older brunette but I do it anyways.
"Hello... Emma, what's up?"
Struggling to get it out over my broken voice and clogged throat I finally spit.
"I'm moving to New York tomorrow and I'm not going to school tomorrow because I have to finish packing. I'm so sorry this is so sudden for me too. Just, please... Please wait for me.."
"Emma I..." I hang up the phone to make a goodbye less painful for me but I realize that the Irish goodbye hurt way more than her just telling me goodbye. I clean up my tears and begin to start putting mine and Henry's things in boxes. "so this is it then..."
