"Know, I've done wrong. Left your heart torn, is that what devils do?"
The sun was drifting down towards the darkening horizon as heels clashed with marble floor. The Queen's mind was tumbling, her Mother hasn't made a move to try to get Henry back yet. Maybe she needed to take the first step, she needed to get Henry.
Black stilettos collided with pavement, the sun had been down for a half an hour and the Charmings (including Emma) had gone out- leaving Granny in charge of Henry. Granny had sent Henry up to his room ten minutes ago, she was seated in a rocking chair in the living room of The Charmings new home- that's when she heard a knock on the front door.
As the white door slung open, Granny gasped and tried to close the door on The Queen, but before she could purple magic swallowed her making her fly back into a wall- knocking her unconscious. The Queen leaned down to the elderly lady, "Thank you for assuring he was in bed for when this was going to happen."
Though, Henry wasn't asleep and he had heard the bang, though he didn't know it was Regina until he heard heels echoing through the hall. In a quick rush he snapped his comforter over his head just in time of Regina swinging open his door.
She looked around his room and saw the tiny bump under the comforter, she strode over to his bed and lightly touched his arm through the bedding. She immediately felt his breath hitch and she felt a shake of his arm- Henry was most definitely awake. In a fast pull, the blanket was pulled off of the kid's head and his eyes snapped shut- though not fast enough.
Extending her arm, Regina reached out and combed through his hair making his eyes snap open, "So, your asleep?" She took a seat on the edge of the bed and smiled down at him.
He diverted his gaze away from her eyes, "What do you want," he whispered.
"I wanted to know," she breathed out, "Do you want to come home?"
He whipped his head around at her, "Why do you need my answer? You're going to bring me back with you anyways."
She smiled, "Yes, I am- I just wanted to see if I was going to have to struggle or if you wanted to go. I guess you don't want to go, but you need to come."
With that said, purple smoke engulfed the two and Henry found himself in his old room, back at his old home. She had kidnapped him, not just borrowed him- kidnapped him.
She touched her hand to his head and kissed his head, "I know you hate me right now, but I love you. Please, give living with me a chance. Don't you want magic in your life," the identical purple cloud materialized in her hand and when it dissipated a cupcake was in its place, "You have to admit, free access to cupcakes or anything, anytime? That's pretty great, right?"
He gave a light shrug, "I would be fine with magic if you didn't kill people and rip out hearts with it."
A look of guilt flowed across Regina's face, "Please?"
"Maybe," he answered.
"Maybe isn't an answer."
"Well I just answered with it," he sassed.
She truthfully wasn't in the mood to fight with him, it would end in tears and not for him- for her, "Goodnight, I magically sealed your window- just in case," She said, leaning down to kiss his forehead.
"Hello, Dear," the familiar voice of her Mother greeted her as she entered the study.
"Mother," she replied, "If you were wondering, I got Henry back. He's upstairs, you can meet him in the morning. If that's what you wish."
"That would be lovely, I can't wait."
"You'll love him, he's a really sweet kid," Regina replied smiling at her own mention of her son.
"Must be, he makes you so happy. I'm glad he makes you happy, you deserve that. The people in this town have destroyed you, broken you down. He truly loves you, now you just help me with the Dark One problem and I'll assure he stays with you,with no problem."
With that the Mother- Daughter conversation ended and Regina was left alone to think. Does she really care? Why do we have to address The Dark One problem before she assures Henry stays with me? Should I trust her? I need to, she's my mother.
Author Note:
