Rating: T, because if you really think about taking someone's firstborn is pretty bad
A/N: Taking a quick break from my Regina-centric fic, because this just came into my head after rewatching the previews for Episode Four. So, SPOILER ALERT.
He can't take the baby from me.
I made the deal because I was a stupid child that just wanted to be happy. This child is mine, I have cared for this baby - weather boy or girl I haven't dared to find out.
It's bad enough I can't remember who the father could be. I had to have loved him, I am not just someone that gives that sort of thing away. I never thought it would be ... like this.
I can't live with myself if I have to give this baby up. I can't do it. I wish I didn't have to. Maybe he won't make me. They said he was tricky. They warned me not to do it - but what other chance did I have at happiness?
Now I'll never be happy again.
