Emma's Secret

Rumple was sitting in the back room of his shop staring at a heartbroken Regina through a mirror and with his attention completely on the image he didn't hear Belle enter until she said, "Rumple what are you doing?"

Not taking his eyes off the mirror he answered, "Nothing"

So looking at the mirror also Belle asked because she was a little baffled, "Why are you watching Regina?"

Turning to final look at Belle and instead of answering her question he said, "Belle please sit down, I have something to tell you"

Lowering herself onto the chair next to him trying to hide that she was afraid of what she believed he was about to tell her and without realizing Belle had placed her hand upon her still flat stomach as she waited for him to say what she was dreading he would but with Rumple just staring at her, the fear quickly turned to anger so Belle spat out, "If your going to break up with me then I suggest you just get it over with because"

Rumple was confused and stopping her before she could continue he said, "Wait why would you think I want to split up with you?"

Rolling her eyes at his question and letting out a obvious huff of annoyance she answered, "Are you seriously try to tell me that you haven't realized how different you have been since you came back from the underworld" then looking over to the mirror she watched Regina for a few seconds before asking, "Did something happen between you and Regina when you were down there?"

Knowing exactly what she was trying to say he let out a sigh before saying, "Belle let me"

She couldn't stop herself as she blurted out "Did you sleep with her?"

Knowing that this was what she had been thinking he was truthfully a little hurt that she would think he would cheat and rather sadly answers with, "Of course not"

"Do you have feelings for her" then choking back a sob she continued, "Do you love her?"

Not wanting to deny how he felt about Regina he answered, "Yes" but when Belle stood up and rather quickly tried to leave he grabbed her saying, "Belle please let me explain"

Not wanting to hear anymore she pulled out of his hold screaming rather angrily, "Nothing you say will make this right, I am pregnant with your child and you have the nerve to tell me that you are in love with Regina" then going to walk out.

Watching her walk away Rumple called out, "Regina is" but he never got to finish.

Belle had spun back around to face him with anger she screamed out, "A whore" but immediately regretted it when she saw the rage that flashed across his eyes, a rage she had saw before but never had directed at her.

Growling out through gritted teeth Rumple said, "Never call my daughter a whore"

Taken aback belle couldn't believe what she had just heard and mumbled out in shock, "Daughter" then stepping closer to him Belle whispered out, "Regina is your daughter"

"Yes that's what I learned in the underworld and that's why I haven't been the same since I came back" then slumping down in his chair he said rather sadly, "I feel"

Belle knew what he felt and finished for him by saying, "Guilty"

Lost in thought as he continued to watch Regina he began speaking aloud without realizing, "My daughter has lost her soul mate and her so called family don't even care about how she is feeling or coping"

Answering with what she believed to be the truth Belle said, "They do care Rumple"

Looking at her as though she was a idiot he said, "No they don't, Regina has done everything to prove she is no longer the evil queen but still to this day the people are waiting for her to make a appearance"

Taking his hand into hers hoping to keep him calm she added, "Their just worried, they saw what losing her true love did to her"

Ignoring her he said, "Even her own son that she has tried her hardest to prove to that she has changed doesn't believe in her enough, he tried to destroy magic again because he has no belief in that she is no longer a villain and that she would revert back to her evil queen ways"

Trying to get him to understand she said, "Rumple please you" but still he ignored her.

Rumple continued saying "You want to know the worst thing, I'm the reason the evil queen exist in the first place"

Wanting to try and ease some of the guilty he was obviously feeling Belle said, "You can't take all the blame"

Giving her hand a soft squeeze to show that he was grateful for what she said he added, "I'm not, believe me a lot of people played their parts but I was the main one in creating her"

Lowering her head because Belle knew that what he was saying was the truth he had played the main role in making Regina the evil queen but knowing Rumple like she did she asked, "What do you want to do"

With sadness in his eyes Rumple answered with, "I want to fix my mistakes, I want her to have happiness because if anyone deserves it in this town it's Regina"

Hearing this Belle smiled saying because she could tell now he was really changing, "Your right Rumple if anyone deserves to be happy it is Regina so you can count on me to help you"

Confused that Belle would help especially Regina he said with disbelief in his voice, "Really"

Knowing why he was hesitant to believe she would help Belle said, "I know me and Regina have history but I know now she's not all to blame for that and truthfully I was naive I convinced myself you could do no wrong and like you said if anyone deserves to be happy it's definitely Regina"

Leaning over he planted a small kiss upon lips before saying, "Thank you" then standing up he held out his hand for her saying, "We have a party to get too"

Worried Belle said, "We don't have to go"

Rumple's only reply was, "I have to"

Extremely worried now Belle said, "Rumple you don't need to go to Emma and Killian's engagement party especially if your going just to cause problems"

Hurt by the accusation he spat out, " I'm not going to cause problems, I'm going because my daughter will be there"

Pointing back to the mirror Belle watched as Regina got up and waving her hands to make herself presentable again all the time repeating, "You can do this Regina, it's just a party"

Turning back to him Belle whispered out rather shamefully, "I'm so sorry Rumple, I just"

Too hurt to hear what she was about to say Rumple interrupted her saying, "Let's just go" and without another word Rumple left with Belle rushing to catch up to him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The party was in full swing with most of the town crammed into grannies to celebrate the engagement of Emma and Killian, Emma had not had a moment to herself with people constantly stopping her to offer their congratulations so when she saw a chance she snuck out the side door into the alley for a breather hoping no one would see her but Mary Margaret did and went out after her. Hearing that her daughter was crying Mary Margaret rushed immediately to her side saying, "Emma are you ok?"

Quickly wiping away the tears she answered with, "I'm fine"

With it being a obvious lie Mary Margaret stated, "Then why are you crying"

Emma still not looking at her mother said, "I don't want to talk about it"

Starting to really worry Mary Margaret asked, "Is it Killian"

Getting angry that her mother was not listening Emma growled out, "What part of I don't want to talk about it, do you not get"

Watching her daughter pacing backwards and forwards she couldn't stop herself from asking, "Do you not want to get married?"

Looking at her mother with a are you serious look upon her face Emma said, "Are you joking?" But before Mary Margaret could answer Emma continued with, "I love Killian, we are true loves so of course I want to marry him and believe me if I didn't want to get married I never would have asked him"

Going to storm back into the diner pissed off that she was being questioned on whether or not she wanted to marry Killian but stopping in her tracks when she heard Mary Margaret say, "No I wasn't joking but since you have assured me that it's not your upcoming marriage that you are having difficulty with, I'm going to take a guess that you are regretting the deal you made with Hades."

Shocked Emma stuttered out, "I don't, I never made a deal with Hades"

Answering back Mary Margaret admitted, "Me and Your father where there when you made the deal"

Though she couldn't sense that her mother was lying Emma said in a hopes that she was, "That's not possible, I was careful"

Looking at her daughter Mary Margaret said, "We're your parents Emma, we could tell something wasn't right and when we saw you sneaking into the woods we followed you"

Letting her anger out Emma responded, "You followed me, seems more like spying on me"

Trying not to let Emma's anger effect her Mary Margaret replied with, "We weren't spying Emma, Me and your father were really worried about you"

Coldly laughing out loud Emma spat out, "You really expect me to believe that you two of all people were worried about me"

Hurt by what Emma was saying Mary Margaret replied back rather sadly, "That's not fair of course we were worried, not only were we in the underworld but you had just been told there was no possible way to get Killian back"

Still angry Emma hit out with, "I thought you and dad were suppose to be some sort of heroes, so tell me if you really saw what I did then why didn't you try stop me"

Lowering her head Mary Margaret said, "We were going to but"

Emma interrupted her by saying sarcastically, "But what"

Letting out a sigh Mary Margaret said, "Your our daughter Emma, we want you too be happy and if making that deal was what would make you then we were not going to get in your way"

Tears streaming down her face Emma asked, "Are you ashamed of me?"

Taking her daughter's face into her hands and gently wiping her tears away Mary Margaret honestly answered with, "I will never be ashamed of you" then taking a deep breath she continued, "Now will you please tell me why you are out here crying?"

Decided to admit what she was feeling Emma said, "I'm afraid"

Mary Margaret knew exactly what her daughter was afraid of but she asked anyway, "About your deal with Hades being revealed?" But the only thing she got from Emma was a slow nod off her head so decided to try and make her feel better she continued, "Only four people know about that deal and they are, you, me, your father and Hades and I cam promise you me and your father will never say anything and with Hades being dead he can't"

Feeling hopeful Emma said, "So there is absolutely no way anyone will ever find out?"

Knowing what Emma needed to hear Mary Margaret answered with, "No one will ever know"

Taking a deep breath Emma finally looked Mary Margaret in the eyes and gave her the first genuine smile she had all night saying, "Thanks mom"

Kissing her forehead Mary Margaret simply said, "Your welcome"

Suddenly Killian's voice rang out saying, "Emma are you out here"

Both wide eyed they turned to find Killian standing in the doorway so walking slowly towards him Emma asked, "Have you been standing there long?"

Slightly confused by the question and the flash of fear in Emma's eyes he said, "No I, is everything ok?"

Trying not to give anything away Emma rushed out, "Everything's fine"

Not believing her and feeling that something was wrong he looked at both them before saying, "Did I interrupt something?"

Both women blurted out with, "No" then Emma grabbed his hand and leaned into him she passionately kissed him.

With one hand still holding his she stuck out her other towards her mom to take she said, "Let's get back to celebrating our happy ending" then pulling them both back inside they joined the party once again and after the talk with Mary Margaret, Emma felt like she could really celebrate now because she now believed that their was no chance of anyone finding out her secret.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After Emma had pulled her back inside Mary Margaret scanned the room and seeing Zelena sitting in one of the booths with only her baby daughter for company as Regina had still not arrived she decided to go over and once she got their she sat down saying, "Hi Zelena"

Not even trying to hide her boredom or the fact that she was annoyed Zelena groaned out, "Hello" but silence quickly descended upon the pair.

Sitting for several minutes Mary Margaret once again tried to start a conversation by asking, "Will Regina be coming"

Rolling her eyes at the question Zelena said, "Obviously she will be coming"

Pretending that she could tell that Zelena was still being sarcastic towards her Mary Margaret said in rather cheerful voice, "That's good"

Letting out a sigh Zelena answered for the first time with actually being sarcastic saying, "I'm not so sure it's good"

Concerned Mary Margaret asked, "Is Regina ok?"

Looking at Mary Margaret as though she stupid Zelena answered with, "She's lost her soul mate, her happy ending so watching another couple celebrate theirs is a little hard to do believe me I know"

Knowing who Zelena was talking about Mary Margaret said one name, "Hades"

Trying not to show her sadness Zelena only said "Yes"

She didn't know what to do or really say so Mary Margaret mumbled out, "I'm sorry"

Staring at the happy couple Zelena decided to let Mary Margaret know the one thing that had been bothering her since Killian's return, "I knew Hades better than anyone but this" and waving her hand towards the couple, "I don't get"

Wanting to know exactly what Zelena might know Mary Margaret asked, "What do you mean?"

Still staring at Emma and Killian Zelena said, "Hades wouldn't have just sent the pirate back out of the goodness of his heart, there is a reason why he sent him back and whatever it is it can't be good for any of us"

Trying to hide that she was becoming nervous Mary Margaret asked, "Do you have a idea as to why he would have sent him back?"

Too lost in her own head Zelena never noticed how nervous Mary Margaret was as she said, "No, well there is one that I can think of but none of you so called heroes would have done it"

Mary Margaret rushed out, "Done what?"

Staring at Killian Zelena answered, "A deal or trade to get killian back"

Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves she said, "No we wouldn't" then feeling scared she whispered out, "Have you mentioned any of this to Regina?"

Finally taking her eyes away from the happy couple Zelena said, "Not yet"

Panic taking over Mary Margaret blurted out, "Maybe you shouldn't"

Hoping she hadn't heard her right Zelena said, "What did you just say"

Obviously scared now Mary Margaret began stuttering out, "It's"

Trying to control herself Zelena gritted out, "If you have something to say Mary Margaret then just say it"

Fidgeting with her hands Mary Margaret answered, "People are worried" and taking a breath she continued, "That Regina may revert back to her old self"

In truth she didn't really need her to say anything because she knew exactly what Mary Margaret meant but Zelena found herself still saying it aloud, "The evil queen" And with only a nod of Mary Margaret's head in answer to what she had said. Scanning the room Zelena said while shaking her head, "Unbelievable"

Thinking that there was a reason to be worried Mary Margaret said, "Have you noticed something with Regina"

With a uneasy calmness Zelena began speaking, "Every single person in this diner since I've arrived has came up and asked me about Regina and her possibly becoming the evil queen again" then her anger seizing every bone in her body Zelena stood up drawing the attention of everyone in the diner as she spat out, "Not one person has asked how my sister is feeling or even coping because all of you only care if she is evil again"

In a rush to calm Zelena down Mary Margaret began stuttering out, "I, we"

Not wanting to listen Zelena screamed out, "Don't bother, I'm leaving"

Grabbing gently onto her arm saying, "Zelena"

Not letting her continue though Zelena pulled out of her hold saying, "No Mary Margaret, Your suppose to be my sister's family"

Whispering out rather sadly Mary Margaret said, "We are family"

Zelena's responded back in anger with, "Then why can't any of you believe in her, she has done so much to prove that she has changed but the moment something goes wrong its back to were scared of the evil queen. How is my sister suppose to believe in herself when the ones she loves most don't" not only did the people who consider Regina family lower their heads with shame but everyone who had questioned whether or not the evil queen would come back did because they all realized that Zelena was speaking the truth.

Gathering her things together Zelena went to leave but stopped when Rumple's voice rang out, "What's going on?"

Looking at him Zelena answered with, "I'm leaving"

Emma rushed out, "Zelena wait were sorry please don't go"

Glaring at Emma, Zelena said, "I have no interest in being here with you hypocrites any longer"

Trying to fix the problem she had caused Mary Margaret said, "Regina is coming, she will expect you to be here when she arrives"

Not wanting to completely lose control with this idiot Zelena spat out, "No she won't"

Thinking that Zelena thought that Regina wouldn't want to see her Mary Margaret said in a reassuring voice, "Of course she will, Regina will want you to be here"

Stepping right up to Mary Margaret, Zelena said, "Believe me I'm going to make sure she doesn't come, the last thing she needs is to sit with a bunch of people who don't trust or believe in her" and with that Zelena turned and left.

Zelena got a shock though when Rumple rushed after saying, "Do you mind if I come with you"

Sighing rather loudly Zelena began saying, "Rumple"

Knowing what she was going to say Rumple jumped in saying, "I'm not going to say anything"

Jabbing a finger into his chest Zelena said, "You better not Rumple, she won't be able to handle it right now"

Desperately wanting to see Regina, Rumple said, "I know, I promise I won't say anything"

Seeing his desperation Zelena caved saying, "Fine" before continuing to walk to the house.

Making their way inside the house Zelena called out, "Regina are you here?" But not receiving a answer she sent Rumple into the living room as she made her way upstairs to her sisters bedroom and as she got closer she could hear the heartbroken sobs so pushing the bedroom door open she rushed to her sisters side. Placing her daughter down gently onto the carpet Zelena wrapped her arms tightly around Regina saying, "It's ok Regina, let it all out"

Accepting the hug from her sister Regina started to say, "I... I... I can't"

Confused Zelena asked, "What?"

Burrowing further into her sister Regina mumbled out,"I can't do it"

Concerned Zelena asked, "Do what?"

Regina simple whispered out, "The party"

Rubbing her hand up and down Regina's back in a soothing manner Zelena said, "Then don't go"

Lifting her head Regina looked at her sister saying rather sadly, "If I don't they will think I'm not happy for them and I am"

Placing both hands on either side of her sisters face and using her thumbs to wipe away the tears Zelena said, "Regina if you don't feel like going then don't go"

Staring at her sister Regina finally said, "I don't want to go"

Giving her a reassuring smile Zelena said, "Then we don't go" Regina pulled out her phone and sent a message to Emma apologizing for not being able to come to the party before heading downstairs with her sister and niece.

Currently right now Emma was staring at her phone wide eyed but not because of the message from Regina, she had another message from a unknown number one that terrified her and it read,

Unknown Number

I know what you did saviour, Robin is dead because of you.

Enjoy your happy ending while it lasts.

Killian was standing in the men's room staring at his arm as he was sure he had just saw a tattoo appear and disappear and the strangest thing was it was Robin's lion tattoo but shaking his head he decided his mind was just playing tricks on him
