Emma's Consort

Summary:

True Love was a funny thing, it was the most powerful magic of all... But for some, they didn't even know they had it for a long time after sharing True Love's Kiss...

It was like this for Queen Emma and her Queen Consort, Regina.

And this... Is their story.

Chapter 1: True Love's Unknown Kiss

Chapter Text

Ever since she was little, Princess Emma had harbored an obsession with her mother’s old nemesis…

 

She hid her attraction towards the woman with a veil of hatred…

 

She wanted her…

 

Wanted her as her bride, but if that was not possible, her mistress instead…

 

As years went on and she became Queen, she let out her frustration on her subjects…

 

Beating the men and raping the women whenever they committed a crime…

 

She would always rape them in public to humiliate them but always casting a spell so the bitches wouldn’t get pregnant from her royal seed.

 

She didn’t want a random bastard…

 

She wanted only Regina to carry her heir.

 

But that was the problem…

 

Catching the hot bitch.

 

Her mother had tried over and over and over again…

 

But there were always people protecting her and there was one thing her parents never dared to try…

 

So…

On her 28th birthday, she decided to hunt the woman down herself…

 

She cast a tracking spell and under a disguise followed her to the old cottage she had been living in…

 

She carefully unlocked the door with her magic and went inside…

 

She found Regina asleep in a small cot…

 

She cast a spell to make her unable to move even if she woke up, then poofed them both directly into her bedroom…

 

She already had the chains ready for the woman…

 

She knew the woman’s family was known for their magic, so she didn’t chance it…

 

Even if the woman had a little bit of magic, she wouldn’t be able to use it in the chains that were now connected to her arms and her spread out legs. 

 

Emma also took down her gorgeous hair and made sure every possible hairpin was gone so she couldn’t pick the locks…

 

And for an extra measure, she stripped her naked…

 

Gods, she was gorgeous under those animal pelts…

 

Emma felt herself getting hard…

 

Emma removed her disguise.

 

She now had what she had always wanted…

 

But she wanted more…

 

She removed the paralyzing spell so Regina would be able to scream. 

 

Emma went to the door to her room and opened the crack and told the guards outside, “I do not want to be disturbed until breakfast tomorrow morning and make sure they bring double everything!”

 

She slammed the door closed and locked all exits to her room with magic…

 

No one would stop her as she bred her favorite bandit.

 

She started casting a few spells on Regina.

 

The first was checking Regina’s fertility…

 

Good, she would be able to knock her up without issue. 

 

Next was her magical virginity, Oh! She would be the one breaking her in, that made Emma super happy. 

 

No disgusting men getting their hands all over what was hers.

 

She next checked her health to see if she needed to improve anything before Regina could carry to term…

 

Slight malnutrition, easily repairable with Royal resources…

 

Now it was time to wake her up, Emma wanted her to remember what it was like to spill her virgin blood for her queen.

 

When Regina opened her eyes a moment later, it was first surprise, then fear, then finally anger when she saw Emma…

 

“Queen Emma, what a pleasure it is to see you again.”

The beautiful woman said sarcastically.

 

“It is a true pleasure, beautiful~”

Emma told her with a predatory grin.

 

“What are you going to do to me, rape me like you do to every woman you punish?”

 

Emma laughed at her. 

“More than that, I’m going to breed you, and you will soon be carrying my heir as either my bride or mistress.

In the end I will let you choose your fate.”

 

“So, what? You are going to force me to carry your child, and I will either be your Mistress or Queen Consort? The reason why I killed my mother in the first place was because I didn’t want to be Queen! I just want to live my life away from all this court nonsense! 

I know you won’t let me go, but…

I want to at least be out of the spotlight…”

 

Emma allowed her true feelings to show for a moment…

There wasn’t guilt…

She would never feel guilty for being proactive and taking what she wanted. 

But she wanted Regina to be happy…

So, she promised her, “Whether you marry me or not, I will make sure to keep you out of the spotlight, I promise you Regina.”

She was gentle with her words at that moment…

 

Regina looked at her…

She looked like she wanted to believe it but didn’t…

 

Emma should have expected that…

She wanted to show her beautiful bride off but if she wanted to keep her life private, Emma could do that for her…

 

Emma stripped off her clothes and climbed onto the bed…

 

She hoped her satin sheets were nice on Regina’s skin…

 

But if she didn’t like them, Emma would find out what she did like…

 

She would make everything perfect for her beautiful lover.

 

Emma felt her precum drip out of her dick and knew she needed the hole displayed in front of her.

 

She shoved herself inside without preparation and laughed as Regina’s warm virgin blood slicked up her dick.

“Good girl, taking my dick as you were always supposed to.”

 

Regina was…

Crying?

 

Emma stopped laughing…

She might have been a sadist but…

 

For some reason, seeing Regina cry hurt her in a way that she had never felt before…

 

“Why are you… Crying?”

 

“Because I’m in pain, you idiot!”

Emma heard anger but there was sadness beneath it all…

 

“And?”

Emma was curious why she was sad…

 

She didn’t know why her own mother hated Regina…

 

She knew something must have happened…

 

Her parents always refuse to tell her no matter how many times she asked why Regina hated them right back…

 

“Because this… Do you really not know?”

 

“I don’t know why my parents hate you, you’re a gorgeous woman and I’ve had a crush on you since I was little!”

Emma told her as she started thrusting inside.

 

Regina laughed self-deprecatingly as tears still ran down her face. 

“You know, all of this happened because my mom was jealous of your maternal grandmother.”

 

“Really? Why?”

She cupped Regina’s gorgeous breasts and started playing with her nipples.

 

“Because she wanted to marry your grandfather, she wanted to be queen…

But she didn’t get what she wanted…

She just got a large beautiful estate and married my father who was like 13th in line for the throne or something. 

 

I loved my Papa, but she didn’t want him…

 

She had me anyways…

 

Then, your grandmother passed away from illness and I was in my late teens at the time…

 

It was perfect in her eyes…

 

I happened to look a lot like a younger version of the former queen…

 

She purposely spooked your mother’s horse when they were passing by our family home, and I saved her…

 

I’ve regretted saving that girl ever since because it changed my life for the worst…

 

I was…

Already in love with someone else…

 

He was the stable boy who taught me how to ride horses…

 

I loved riding and I loved him…

 

However, because I saved Snow’s life, the king thought I would be the perfect mother for her…”

Regina’s voice hitched as Emma fucked her deeper.

 

“His name was Daniel…

 

Snow walked into me and Daniel kissing not long after we met…

 

She had thought that I loved her father, that was why I was going to marry him in her naivete…

 

I told her that I loved Daniel, and I made her promise not to tell anyone, especially my mother about Daniel and I…

 

She told her anyways…

 

And the night that him and I were going to elope, my mother killed him right in front of me…

 

I was angry at Snow…

 

I was going after her but the next time I saw her; her and my mother were in the same room…

 

In a fit of rage and grief, I choked my mother to death right in front of the princess of the realm…

 

I didn’t know what my mother had done until it was too late…

 

She had written a contract along with your grandfather that I would marry a member of the royal family and produce an heir…

 

I had seen the contract, but I thought that it was just a piece of paper…

 

My mother made it magically binding however…

 

And it had consequences…

 

There was a magical backlash of me killing my mother who was one of the two signers of the contract…

 

The king was released from having to be the member of the royal family to marry me…

 

But… I was still required to marry a future King or Queen and produce their heir…

 

But there was the issue…

 

I would not be able to produce an heir for Snow White because she couldn’t sire children…

 

But I needed to be able to live to complete the contract…

 

So, it affected both Snow White’s heir and myself…

 

I stopped aging within a few years…

 

But when you were born, I knew what it had actually done to me…

 

I’m at perfect fertility age…

 

To finally be released from this torture my mother put me in, I would have to marry you and carry your child.”

Regina finally completed her explanation. 

 

Emma felt hot and bothered from listening to Regina talk…

 

She felt close to spilling her royal seed into Regina’s blood slicked hole…

 

“Is that your long-winded way of saying you’ll marry me?”

 

“…Yes.”

 

Emma rubbed Regina’s clit with practiced fingers to get her new betrothed to cum with her.

 

Doing this, Emma knew that if they came together at conception, they would be more likely to produce a magical child like the two of them…

 

Emma kind of wanted that… To have a child that she could teach magic to…

 

Thinking of that, she wanted to get Regina to properly learn as well before the heir was born.

 

Would it be better if she taught her herself or would it be better if Emma were to find Regina’s old family teacher? 

What was his name?

Rumpelstiltskin? 

The Dark One?

He hadn’t been seen in a good few years…

Which was strange for him…

It was like he had gone missing right around the time Emma was born.

 

Whatever. 

If she couldn’t find him, Emma would just teach Regina magic herself.

 

“Are you almost there, beautiful?”

Emma asked her as she was nearing her peak. 

 

“Y-yes.”

Regina admitted…

She was flushed.

 

Emma leaned forward while continuing to rub Regina’s clit.

 

At the correct moment, Emma kissed Regina for the first time while they came together and neither noticed a flash of a rainbow erupting from their bodies and spread throughout the kingdom and beyond…

 

Emma didn’t realize that the shackles around Regina’s limbs had shattered as they curled up together in the bed and fell asleep…

Chapter 2: Emma's Expectations

Notes:

I had this ready for a while but kept forgetting to post it, whoops!

Chapter Text

The next morning, Emma noticed her morning wood and the beautiful woman perfectly accessible in her bed...

 

Choosing not to waste a wonderful morning fuck, she slipped inside the still wet hole and slowly fucked her previous night's lover in her sleep...

 

After a little bit Emma heard her mumble, "Morning, Emma."

Her lover's sleepy voice was adorable.

 

Wait a moment...

She recognized her lover...

It was her new betrothed! 

 

"This feel good, love?"

She had never called anyone that before, but it felt right...

 

"Yes..."

 

Emma made sure they came together again just in case...

 

"What will be required of me as Queen Consort?"

Regina asked as Emma got dressed.

 

"First, to be available to pleasure me whenever I need it.

 

Second, the marriage ceremony, which will include the entire court and allies from neighboring kingdoms and realms. 

 

Third, there are certain functions where you will need to sit next to me on your throne and sometimes dance. 

 

Fourth is of course you carrying at least one of my heirs.

 

Fifth is caring for said heir or heirs after they are born."

 

"So other than that, I will be able to be out of the spotlight like you promised?"

Regina looked skeptical. 

 

"As long as you want that, I will refrain from showing you off.

I want you to be happy."

Emma smiled as it rang true in her mind. 

She wished she could fuck Regina in public...

The thought of filling her during a boring meeting was getting her hard again...

 

"All fours, on the bed, now."

Emma ordered in an authoritative voice. 

 

Regina obeyed. "I heard you fucked at least three times a day, but I guess they weren't exaggerating?"

 

Emma smiled at her, "Nope."

She pulled down her pants just enough to slam into her hole for the third time in less than twelve hours.

 

Emma loved hearing every sound from her betrothed.

She felt so good in her...

She had tried so many bitches over the years, but it was never like this!

 

It was like Regina was made for her!

Or... She realized... Was she made for Regina?

 

Made by a magical contract to fuck her?

 

It made her feel... Weird...

 

But... Emma loved Regina even if magic made her who she was!

 

She was already the product of True Love, what did it matter if magic made her perfect for Regina?

 

She would enjoy this beautiful woman she was spilling into...

 

Wait! 

 

Did she?

 

Oh good, Regina came with her...

 

Was it instinct to take care of her?

 

If it was, it was a good instinct to have.

 

Regina was so pretty all sweaty like that...

 

Emma slowly pulled out and admired Regina's perfectly filled hole...

 

When Emma heard the knock on her bedroom door, she whispered...

"Blanket, love."

 

Regina sluggishly pulled the blanket over her as Emma walked over to the door.

 

"Your breakfast, your highness."

A pretty servant pushed the little trolley into the bedroom next to the bed...

Her eyes grew wide for a moment when she saw Regina in the queen's bed but brushed it off.

"Is there anything else you need, your majesty?"

 

"Bring the Consort Wardrobe in, it's time."

 

The servant looked excited. 

"It's her?! Congratulations, your highness!"

She rushed out of the room.

 

Regina looked over at the food.

 

"Make yourself a plate, love."

Emma encouraged.

 

Regina collected a plate of food...

She glared when Emma added a few extra veggies.

 

"It's for your health."

She told her wife-to-be as she fixed her own balanced plate.

 

They sat side by side and leaned on each other subconsciously as they ate.

 

As they were finishing their food, there was a knock on the door.

 

"Your highnesses? We have the Consort Wardrobe for you, may we come in?"

 

Emma looked at Regina in question.

 

Regina whispered, "I get a choice in this?"

 

"You are going to be my wife, I want you to be as comfortable as you can, love.

If you don't feel comfortable, I can close the curtains to our bed if you wish."

Emma told her gently.

 

"Please."

 

Emma got back off the bed with their empty plates and put them back on the trolley after closing the curtains.

 

"You may come in, put the wardrobe to the opposite side to where mine is."

Emma told the servants on the other side.

 

"Of course, your highness."

A different servant from before, a male servant this time, replied as the door was opened, and a wardrobe was brought inside...

 

After getting it moved in, the servants left the room. 

 

After a moment, Regina asked, "Are they all gone?"

 

"Yes, love."

 

Regina opened one of the curtains and attempted to step out...

She started to fall until Emma caught her in her arms.

 

Regina cuddled into her automatically and Emma smiled as she guided her fiancé to her new wardrobe.

 

When Regina opened the wardrobe door, inside there were clothes of all sorts...

 

Everything from modest but comfortable tunics and trousers to extravagant dresses...

 

Then... Regina realized something...

 

They looked... Like they were almost her size...

 

All of them...

Some of them would be a little bit baggy, while others would be tight...

 

But they would all fit decently well...

 

She looked up at Emma in curiosity.

 

Emma blushed like she had been caught doing something she shouldn't have, "I told you before that I've had a crush on you since I was little, well...

It's been more like an obsession...

I figured out your height and your clothes size for pretty much everything within a margin of error...

I started ordering outfits for you whenever I went in for clothes and I would update it every year...

Things I thought you would like along with the modern fashion..."

Emma nervously traced her fingers across Regina's stomach and cast a specific spell...

 

Emma looked down at her hands at the end of her explanation to see the result...

 

It was a flash of green mixed with her silver magic...

 

Regina shivered when she felt Emma's magic rush over her....

 

Regina was shocked to see Emma crying. 

 

"Th-they are tears of joy, love. You're already pregnant."

 

Regina put her hands on her own stomach.

What was happening to her finally hit her like a stampeding flock of sheep. 

 

She was going to be the daughter-in-law of Snow White and was now carrying her grandchild! 

 

And... If Emma continued fucking her like she was, this child wouldn't be the last...

 

Regina wondered if she would start aging after the pregnancy...

 

Or would she be stuck at peak fertility for the rest of her existence?

 

Was this her penance for murdering her mother?

 

Being the broodmare of the royal family?

 

Regina didn't realize what she was doing until she felt Emma's length harden behind her. 

 

She stopped wiggling her ass against her Queen's front with an embarrassed squeak.

 

Emma hummed with pleasure. 

"It's okay, love. Women get hornier when they're pregnant...

Especially witches like you~"

 

Emma picked her up off the ground and carried her back onto the bed...

"Now that you are with child, I can break in your other hole without worrying about wasting my seed while you still needed it."

 

"Y-you mean?!"

 

"Yes, your pretty little asshole.

I've been wanting to do this since I brought you here. 

Your first job is my pleasure and that includes all your holes...

I'll use your mouth later."

 

Emma pulled down her pants again and poked Regina's virgin ass with her cockhead...

 

She slowly started thrusting against her beloved's virgin asshole and dripped into her dry hole...

 

When it was just wet enough, Emma pushed inside with a pop.

 

Regina gave off a shocked yelp.

"Y-you feel like a knife stabbing into me!"

 

Emma leaned down and looked at her lover in the face with worry...

The movement caused her to go deeper, and Regina let out a surprised moan.

 

"I'll be gentler with you like this, love...

Okay?"

Emma was surprised when Regina initiated a kiss for comfort...

 

They made out as Emma fucked her...

 

When Emma was getting close, she reached for Regina's sensitive clit to pleasure her too. 

 

Emma continued fucking her even after they both came...

 

Regina's ass was so wonderfully tight that Emma didn't want to stop...

 

"Emma...

Please...

Let me rest...

You can stuff me with more seed later..."

Regina tried to move away but Emma pinned her down.

 

"We're done when I'm done, don't forget who you belong to."

Emma nipped her ear scoldingly.

 

Regina whined when Emma kissed her deeply and started ramming into her...

 

"You."

Slam.

"Will."

Slam.

"Take."

Slam.

"My."

Slam.

"Seed."

Slam.

"Every."

Slam.

"Time."

Slam.

"I."

Slam.

"Want."

Slam.

"You."

Huge slam.

"To!"

Emma dumped another load into her and Regina came with her untouched. 

"Understand?"

 

"Yes... Emma..."

Regina sounded out of breath...

 

Emma spanked her.

"Good bitch. Don't forget this lesson."

 

Regina shook her head. 

"I won't! I promise!"

 

Emma spanked her again for good measure and pulled out roughly.

"You're so beautiful with your holes filled with my seed...

You know, I don't only want one child, being an only child is too lonely...

I'll make sure you have another after this one."

Emma gently rubbed Regina's abdomen.

 

A flash of memories that Regina had forgotten came to Regina's mind...

She burst into tears...

 

"What's wrong, love?"

 

"I have an older sister...

But my mom...

She forced my sister and I to drink something...

That made us forget we knew about each other or ever met..."

 

"Really? I didn't know you had a sister."

 

"We share a mother but not a father.

She saved my life...

But I don't think she grew up in the Enchanted Forest...

 

Her accent was different...

 

There were certain things that were normal to me that were odd to her and there were certain things that she did that were the same for me..."

 

"Do you know what her name was? 

 

I can scry for her if you want..."

 

"Her name was Zelena.

She was a redhead.

I'm not sure what land she was from... 

But I think I've heard the accent since...

But I just can't place it for the life of me..."

 

Emma quickly jumped off the bed and over to the open wardrobe. 

 

She grabbed one of the simple dresses with a gentle corset and a pair of panties along with a pair of simple matching flats.

 

"Get dressed, love. We'll go to my Magical vault for the scrying."

 

Regina easily put on the panties and shoes, then pulled on the dress...

 

Emma helped her with the corset and put it on just tightly enough where it would stay on but not enough where it was squeezing her or anything...

 

She didn't want to hurt their child accidentally.

 

Emma waved for Regina to follow her...

 

The two left the royal bed chambers and Regina kept her head down as she followed the queen down the hall...

 

Emma quickly realized how Regina was straying behind her and pulled her into her arms...

 

Resting Regina's head on her shoulder as they walked.

 

Regina felt small beside Emma...

 

Both shorter in stature and in status...

 

Regina wondered...

 

If she had never killed her mother, what would her life be like now?

 

Would she have already been married with children?

 

Or would she be a powerful sorceress and not just a witch who hid her powers?

 

Would she be... Happy with her life?

 

Probably not...

She would have been forced to marry Leopold...

 

He was a...

Decent man but Regina could never see herself loving him...

 

Much less having a marriage where she would be happy with him...

 

Regina had a feeling she would have killed the man...

 

And he deserved it a lot less than her own mother...

 

Why did she think that she would have become like Emma?

 

A queen that everyone hated...

 

Well actually Emma was more liked than Regina would have been...

 

No one liked her now; how would they like her if she murdered their king?

 

Her hatred of Snow probably would have sent her in a nasty direction...

 

Who knows? 

 

She could have been taught by her mother's Magic teacher...

 

And that man hadn't been seen in nearly 30 years...

 

But maybe...

 

Maybe she could have had one thing she wanted that she didn't have now...

 

Well not yet anyways...

 

Maybe she would have already had a son or daughter...

 

A child to raise as her own...

 

To nurture and help grow...

 

Maybe she would have reconnected with her sister at some point...

 

But that wasn't too late...

 

Was it? 

 

Was Zelena even alive?

 

She hoped this scrying helped Regina find her...

 

The pair went through a door and downstairs...

 

Into a room that looked like a tornado had blown through and nobody cared to clean up...

 

"Sorry about the mess, I don't let the servants come down here because of the potentially dangerous magical ingredients, so I have to deal with all this mess myself and I think I was in the middle of multiple projects..."

 

Emma quickly moved around some things and made space for one of the spell bowls...

 

Then she started collecting ingredients...

 

"Oh!

I'm going to need a few drops of your blood, if that's okay. 

 

It should only show members of your biological family when I do that...

 

How many are we looking at here?"

 

"My sister, myself, and..."

Regina put a hand over her stomach...

 

"That makes sense...

Also, potentially any biological children of your sister as well."

 

"So, I'll know about any nieces or nephews if I have them?"

 

"Yes."

 

Regina offered her hand to Emma to cut, "Do it."

 

Regina watched Emma cast the spell...

 

In the bowl, it appeared in three sections...

 

The first was Regina herself...

 

The second was on Regina's stomach...

 

The third was a woman that looked only a few years older than Regina...

 

How was that possible?

 

Zelena should have been a lot older than her...

 

But she looked like she was in her early 30s...

Or maybe even late 20s...

 

"How the hell is she that young?!?

I know for a fact she was only 3 years older than me...

 

Which means she should be in her late 50s...

 

What happened to her?"

 

"Time-Based magic at play?

 

Maleficent taught my friend Lily and I about it hypothetically...

 

But that is some really powerful magic..."

 

Ah Lilith, Queen Emma's best friend and the daughter of the sorceress Maleficent.

 

Regina would have been jealous of her mention if not for the fact that it was known that the two had dated when they were younger, but it didn't work out and they just preferred being friends...

 

Emma shifted the focus of the scry to Zelena, and they started noticing more things about her:

 

Her outfit was like one of those fancy fashion designers would wear...

Black leather pants on bottom with a flattering green on top...

 

Regina smiled, "It's not like what we wear here but that's Zelena's favorite color."

 

"It is?"

Emma asked. 

 

Regina nodded. 

 

Zelena was in a house, a house that had very different architecture compared to what the Enchanted Forest was used to, the place was painted many beautiful shades of green...

 

Including the color that perfectly matched Zelena's blouse.

 

"How do we identify what realm this is?"

 

"There's different signifiers depending on which realm you're in... 

We look for those signifiers...

See if anything pops out...

 

I would have said she was in Oz at first but the architecture is all wrong..."

 

Regina realized...

"I think Oz is where Zelena is from so it makes sense that even if she isn't in that realm she might have indications from there..."

 

The two saw Zelena flick her wrist to probably float something but instead of floating, the item hit Zelena in the face.

 

The woman cursed, "For the love of everything green!

Why did Rumple have to make our source of magic True Love!? It doesn't make things easier for him either! 

I'm sure it makes him uncomfortable to have to focus on his girlfriend all the time to even cast a little bit of magic!"

 

"A realm whose magic is pure True Love magic? I've never heard of such a thing before."

 

"Dad told me Rumpelstiltskin bottled his and my mother's True Love...

Maybe for some reason the realm they're in doesn't have magic naturally and Rumpelstiltskin used his bottled True Love to supply magic to the realm?"

 

"My mother told me about a realm like that when I was a little girl...

It used to be a place that flourished with Nature Magic, but after the angry Mother of Magic in that realm lost everything, she stripped all the magic away and caused it to be a realm without magic... 

You're not supposed to speak the name of the angry Mother of Magic, so her name was lost over time...

But it is believed that she lives in an ancient Enchanted Forest far away from ours."

 

"Is that some sort of scary story to...

 

Now that I'm thinking about it...

Auntie Maleficent told Lily and I that story when we were little too...

 

Except...

She told it a little bit differently...

 

She said the mother of magic was a tree nymph...

 

Nature spirits who if you destroy the natural environment, they would attack...

 

It was supposed to be a lesson about respecting nature...

 

Tree nymph aren't in our Enchanted Forest...

 

Maleficent believes they're gone because they went extinct from the habitat destruction...

 

Or that the Mother may have been their only survivor...

 

Now she's alone...

 

Scheming and her name has been forgotten by everyone except for those in the realm she lives in..."

Emma shivered...

She hoped she never encountered the Mother.

 

"So, how does one go to the Mother's home realm?"

 

"My family has a good rapport with the last surviving giant by the name of Tiny...

In exchange for keeping him and his home safe, he supplies my family with magic beans for realm travel...

 

If we channel a scry of Zelena, the bean will bring us to the center of magic in that realm."

 

"It's at times like this that I wish my mother properly taught me magic...

 

It's so useful sometimes."

 

"But it can always be dangerous too... One of the pillars of magic is that all magic comes with a price, whether light or dark...

 

For witches like us, it's at the cost of our souls' purity for more minor things...

 

But when the magic gets bigger, other sacrifices must be made...

 

Like blood, in the case of this scrying..."

 

"My mother told me that too, As my mentor Rumpelstiltskin always said, All magic comes with a price, dearie.

My mom always did a very silly voice when she was talking about her mentor...

I never met him, but he was apparently one of the most powerful sorcerers to have ever lived...

Even among the Dark Ones."

 

"I think your sister just mentioned him...

When she was whining about her magic not cooperating with her.

We might just meet him while we're there...

My parents always told me to be careful around that man...

Never make a deal with him if you aren't willing to pay the price he told you..."

 

"My mother told me that he was easily manipulated though when it came to things of the heart.

She had tricked him into a deal that would never be paid...

Because the price was a child between the pair that Rumple could raise as his own...

But neither are Zelena nor I his daughter...

As far as I know anyways...

Zelena could have been his because...

When we were together briefly, she didn't know who her father was."

 

"When do you wish to go see her? Before or after our wedding?"

Emma asked.

 

Regina thought about it for a moment...

"We should get the wedding over and done with...

So, we have down time to travel to another realm."

 

"Do you have anyone you want at the wedding?"

 

Regina didn't really have any friends...

There were the Merry Men who she sometimes traveled with...

 

They were kind people but...

 

It was awkward with Marian...

 

Because of her husband Robin's straying eyes.

 

He was attractive...

 

But...

 

She had a policy of not messing with other people's men...

 

Regina didn't want to be like her mother...

 

And now that she was going to be Emma's Consort, it was a moot point...

 

She didn't really want them at her wedding anyways...

 

There was her father...

 

He was getting up there in age, but she would be happy if he could walk her down the aisle...

 

Regina smiled at that thought.

"My Papa. Invite whoever else you need to for the wedding; our honeymoon can be that trip we talked about..."

 

"I've traveled to other lands but never other realms before...

It will be an interesting experience..."

Plus, she could talk to Rumpelstiltskin while they were there about teaching Regina.

 

She wanted Regina to be able to properly protect herself...

 

She never wanted to but what if they ended up dealing with horrible dangers someday?

 

Like the Mother or the Black Fairy or the Shadow or even the Sea Witch?

 

All those creepy legends Maleficent told her and Lily as children...

 

If any of them came after her and Regina, Emma wanted Regina to be ready for anything...

 

"Okay, let's do this."

Emma kissed Regina again...
