Hey guys well finally it's here! This is the sequel to Has Anybody Ever Told You. I do recommend that you read it first before you start The Soul Thief but I will leave that up to you.
Things will take a much darker turn in this fic as I decided to dabble in my love for all things supernatural but of course this is swanqueen all the way and there will be plenty of love, sex and Emma G!P so you have been warned.
I started writing this last year so I can't tell you how annoyed I was when Season 7 aired and I found a few similarities to what I had already written. Having said that my fic is nothing like the the current show and is wayyy darker.
Enough from me! I really hope you enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Although not quite complete I have written the first twelve chapters so there will be regular weekly updates and I always finish what I start.
So please review and leave me your comments I love hearing what you all think whether good or bad.
Enjoy Valk1❤️
The Soul Thief
Prologue
It danced around the six like a kite fighting against the wind weaving in and out of them hissing and spitting its malevolence. Not one of them dared to raise their hooded heads for it foretold instance death to the conjurers to gaze upon the conjured so instead they continued their chant.
All of the six except for one never truly believed their time would ever come despite the predictions of the ancient scrolls. But the one that had believed had remained strong and devoted throughout all the years that they had waited until a sign was given and now their time was here.
The chanting grew louder and more sinister whilst the flames of the candles that circled them fought to stay alight. A figure stepped forward into the centre removing a photo from the robe it wore. the shadow seemed to still like it was waiting and it was.
The figure bent and used a now still flame to ignite the picture and set it down before it went up in smoke and quickly returned to there place to watch it burn.
The shadow screeched in delight and seemed to take on a more solid form but it wasn't to last. That would come in time. The photo began to curl and crackle and pop and all the six smiled under their hoods as the face of the Evil Queen melted until it was no more.
CHAPTER 1
Revelations
"Let me get this straight, you have been throwing up every morning for the last week and a half and Swan hasn't noticed this?"
Zelena placed a steaming mug of god only knew what in front of her pale looking sister before taking a seat opposite her.
Regina swallowed back the bile that rose in her throat as a foul smell hit her nostrils.
"There are only two things that coaxes Emma Swan out of bed in the morning and that's my cleavage or food. What the hell is in this anyway? It smells like death!"
She asked pushing the mug away from her in disgust.
The redhead chuckled and pushed the concoction back towards her sister defiantly.
"I admit that it tastes like shit but it will stop the sickness. I drank it for the first three months of my pregnancy and your better off not knowing how it's made, it's an age old recipe from Oz"
Regina shook her head and groaned before picking up the mug gingerly and forcing herself to take a sip.
"It's made of those annoying little munchkins isn't it?"
Zelena laughed and shook her head.
"Close but no. Stop making a fuss and drink it whilst it's warm. So are you planning on telling your sexy Saviour that she's magically knocked you up or what?"
Realising that she was actually starting to feel a little better the Mayor sighed deeply.
"I can't be pregnant Zelena so there's nothing to tell Emma"
"Bullshit! And what's more little sis you know it. I don't understand you Regina you have all you ever wanted. You have your Saviour, your son and a new addition on the way so what is really going on in that head of yours?"
The Mayor swallowed back the lump that formed in her throat but couldn't stop the sting of tears that flooded her eyes.
"I don't want to talk about it"
She took one last swallow of the vile brew then rose to her feet.
"I need to get to work"
Zelena shook her head exasperated then stood to see the distressed brunette out.
"I will make you a batch of my brew and bring it over later, your sickness isn't going to go away and neither is this baby inside of you. Maybe you should also cover up that cleavage of yours for the time being after all by the sounds of it they are the cause of your latest dilemma"
Regina pulled on her leather jacket. She knew Zelena was right but rolled her eyes regardless.
"And talk to Emma sis she deserves to know"
Zelena ignored the death glare she received as she opened the door.
"I will when I'm ready so until then keep your mouth shut"
Regina squeezed her sisters hand as she passed her, she didn't feel as sick but her anxiety levels were through the roof.
"So how are things going with Dorothy?"
Emma asked as she stood at the counter at Granny's waiting for her friend to finish preparing her order.
Ruby sighed wistfully as her thoughts settled on her girlfriend making her smile.
"She's amazing and so fucking hot in the sack"
She leaned over the counter resting her hand on Swans upper arm not wanting to be overheard.
"She does this thing with her tongue damn near had me howling!"
In a world of her own the Mayor entered the diner her eyes immediately falling on the Sheriff who was laughing at something the leggy waitress was whispering into her ear. Instantly pissed she stomped over to the two woman making her presence known by slamming her purse down on the counter.
Red jumped back in surprise grabbing her thudding heart.
"Christ Regina you scared the crap out of me!"
"Hey sweetheart just waiting for the food. I thought we was having lunch at your office?"
Emma went to slip her arm around her love but was quickly shrugged off.
"Oh did you think you would enjoy the waitress whilst you waited?"
Regina snapped glaring at the brunette who's gum chewing stopped suddenly.
"What? Wait a minute you can't think that we? Eww gross Madame Mayor"
Swan pulled a face as Regina leaned over the counter pointing an accusing finger a an extremely nervous Ruby.
"Keep your claws off of my woman wolf! You have been warned"
"What? Shit Regina that's totally uncalled for. Red was telling me about her night of douborcry with Dorothy"
Clearly speaking was the wrong thing to do as dark angry dark eyes were now glaring at her.
"I'm going back to work I will see you later Miss Swan!"
And with that the Mayor grabbed her purse and stormed back out of the diner slamming the door behind her.
"What the fuck crawled up her ass? I thought I was a goner for a second"
Emma shook her head equally as confused.
"No idea but I'm going to find out, be back in a bit"
Regina was almost to her car when she heard her name called but regardless she picked up her pace not wanting a confrontation with Emma especially as it was all her own doing.
"What the hell was that all about? Ruby didn't deserve that! And Miss Swan? Really Regina?"
Emma snapped grabbing the brunette by the arm and turning her around to face her.
"Maybe I don't appreciate watching my soulmate flirting with that...that flea ridden mutt"
The Mayor snapped back already well aware of how ridiculous she was being, she needed to tell her love the truth but now wasn't the time stood in the middle of the street fighting.
The Sheriff laughed loudly and shook her head closing the gap between them.
"You're beautiful when you're jealous sweetheart but for the record I wasn't flirting with Red, that's just weird"
She teased knowing she was pushing her luck with her touchy girlfriend and the fire that burned behind her dark eyes proved her right as she attempted to pull her into her arms.
"Will you just stop! I'm sick of you suffocating me. I feel like I can't breath"
The second the words left her lips she regretted them and reached out to grab the Sheriff's hand but met with thin air when she abruptly took a few steps away from her.
"What the fuck Regina! Seriously?"
Swans heart sank in her chest as the words were spat at her and tried her hardest to keep her tears at bay.
"Fine! Take all the space you need Madame Mayor that's fine by me"
"Emma I'm sorry I didn't mean it"
Hot tears filled Regina's eyes as she cursed herself seeing the hurt expression on Emma's face before she turned sharply on her heels and stormed off back towards granny's.
"Shit!"
Regina pulled open her car door and got in slamming it behind her, the last thing she had wanted to do was upset her soulmate and she hated herself for it, she slammed her hands angrily against the steering wheel as tears splashed down her face.
Why was she incapable of just telling her what was going on? Why was she scared? She loved the very bones of Emma and she should be ecstatic about this new chapter of their lives, instead she was terrified and that just made her crazy mad.
Regina sat staring at her phone getting angrier by the second. Emma had so far ignored all her messages and now her phone was switched off helping her to reach near boiling point, she glanced at her watch for the hundredth time it was almost 9pm and she had just about had enough.
"Henry I'm going to get your mother. I won't be long"
She shouted up the stairs as she pulled on her jacket and grabbed her car keys from the bowl.
"Ok mom love you"
This made her smile for the first time that day as her son came running down the staircase.
"Is ma ok? She never misses dinner"
He asked knowing something wasn't right with the Mayor. He was sure she had been crying when he came home from school.
"Everything's fine darling she just had to work late. I will lock the house up, call me if you need anything ok?"
Henry nodded already making his way back upstairs to return to his xbox.
The Mayor's first stop was Granny's only to find it full of drunken dwarves and no
sign of her soulmate. She had no luck at the Rabbit Hole either which left only one place to look and that was at the docks.
Regina sighed deeply as she sat down next to Swan on the bench that she was occupying and followed her gaze out to the calm water, she could feel how upset she still was and it made her feel like shit.
"I've been all over town looking for yo., I should have known you would be here"
They sat in silence for a few more minutes both hating the awkwardness now surrounding them until finally the blonde spoke.
"Well as I suffocate you so much I would have thought you would be glad I didn't come home"
The Mayor flinched at her lovers bitter words knowing she deserved the cold shoulder but it didn't make it hurt any less.
"I didn't mean it darling. I don't even know why I said it I am so sorry"
She reached out to take her hand but the Sheriff was on her feet before she could.
"Go home Regina, go and have your space you need so much"
Emma felt tears sting her eyes as she jammed her hands into her pockets still refusing to make eye contact.
"I'm pregnant!"
The Former Queen swallowed hard as she stood up wrapping her arms around herself, her heart thudding so hard she was sure it could be heard as suddenly wide shocked green eyes were staring back at her.
"Y...you're pregnant? With our kid?"
Emma stammered taking an unsteady step towards the brunette who rolled her eyes skyward.
"Well there's a fifty fifty chance that it could be Leroy's but.."
Before Regina could finish she was gathered up into strong arms and spun around.
"Holy shit babe that's fucking amazing"
The blonde's grin split her face in two as she finally put her love down to get a good look at her and frowned at the sight of tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Wait! your not happy about this?"
Her words made the Mayor cry harder.
"Of course I'm happy about it I...I...you have made all my wildest dreams come true Emma but….I'm scared, so scared"
Regina sobbed into the blonde's chest holding onto her for dear life, far to choked to be able to explain herself any further.
"Let me take you home sweetheart"
Swan frowned when the brunette looked up at her the fear in her eyes evident.
"I love you so much Emma I'm so sorry I hurt you, I wanted to tell you today and then I saw Miss Lucas.."
"Ssssh Ssssh it's ok baby it's ok. It all makes sense now and I love you too"
Emma whispered leaning down to kiss away her tears.
"Come on"
She wrapped an arm around the Mayor as they began to head for the merc.
"If our kids born a dwarf Regina I want a divorce and that's before we have even got married"
Regina through her head back and laughed slapping her maybe future wife playfully, no one could put her at ease and make her feel like her Saviour did.
"Your such an idiot, my beautiful idiot!"
As soon as Regina turned off the bedside lamp and slipped into bed she was pulled into Swans arms, the safest place in the world to her and she revelled in it.
"Talk to me sweetheart, why are you scared?"
Emma kissed the dark head resting against her chest as she ran her fingers lovingly up and down her back waiting for her answer.
Letting out a deep breath the Mayor began to speak.
"What if that stupid potion I drank back in the Enchanted Forest effects the pregnancy Emma? What if it somehow hurts our baby? And if it doesn't and she is born healthy what happens when she grows up to find out who her mother really is? She will hate me! Just like Henry did"
Emma felt her loves frantic tears soak into her shirt and couldn't stop her own from forming in her eyes.
"Ok for one doesn't true loves kiss break all curses?"
Regina nodded slowly as she cuddled closer into her soulmate needing to feel her as close as possible.
"Right so that means your potion is void and will not affect our kid in any way right? It can't hurt her and besides that you're already pregnant proving the curse is broken and for the record Henry never ever hated you"
Emma's fingers continued to stroke and sooth as once again her love nodded in agreement.
"As for our new addition hating you baby that will be impossible because you're going to love our kid so unconditionally and be the best damn mother that the thought will never ever cross her mind, she will absolutely adore you just like I do and our son does and as for your past and mine for that matter we will deal with that together when the time comes"
Regina finally lifted her head up to be met with the most beautiful smile that made her heart melt all over again.
"Do you really think that?"
Swan nodded then drew her love to her and cupped her face in her hands before kissing her tenderly.
"You are the most attentive thoughtful loving woman I have ever met in my life Regina Mills and I for one and Henry and this little one.."
She dropped her hand to lay it over her lover's flat stomach gently.
"We are so fucking lucky to have you sweetheart ,we love you so much"
Regina raised an eyebrow then smirked.
"If our daughter's first word is 'fuck' Sheriff Swan I'm divorcing you before we are even married"
Chucking Swan rolled her lover on to her back and began to place loving kisses all over her face before suddenly stopping and looking into dark brown orbs with a confused look on her face.
"Wait! How do you know we are having a girl? And how the fuck did I get you pregnant?"
The brunette shook her head feigning annoyance.
"Really Swan? You're the Saviour with extremely powerful magic and yet you are asking me these questions? Did you learn nothing from our studies?"
Emma grinned as her hand found its way under her soulmates oversized night shirt and began to explore her soft skin.
"Come on babe you know I prefer the hands on approach"
Regina's breath caught in her throat as her love's touch woke all her senses.
"Firstly"
She murmured wrapping her legs around the Sheriffs waist.
"I think it was Christmas morning
do you remember that morning Sheriff?"
Swan groaned as the brunettes hands palmed her ass through her shorts and her hot breath caressed her ear, just the thought making her stomach do flips.
"Mmmmm I remember every little detail love"
She admitted smiling wistfully as she buried her face in her throat bathing it in open mouthed kisses.
Regina moaned tightening her hold on perfect ass cheeks and pulling the blonde tighter into her body.
"Sometimes when true love's reach a point of such intimacy and their bond is ever strong it can create a true love baby especially if both parties are powerful magic wielders like we are"
Emma kissed her way back to awaiting lips and sighed deeply.
"Are we really having a baby sweetheart? Tell me this isn't some amazing dream and I'm going to wake up any minute now"
Tears welled up in the former Queens eyes as she bit down on her bottom lip and nodded finally allowing the excitement to grow within her.
"Well I did four of those tests this evening and all of them were positive, so yes my love we are really having a baby"
Emma's lip trembled as she tucked a lock of dark hair behind a perfect ear.
"I love you so fucking much Regina so much, you're my everything you know that right? We should make an appointment with Whale just to triple check don't you think?"
Regina's nose wrinkled in disgust at the mention of the questionable doctor.
"I'm not letting that moron anywhere near my vagina Swan and I'm quite frankly surprised you would suggest such a thing"
Emma laughed but had to nod her head in agreement, that guy was certainly creepy.
"Well now you put it like that I don't want him anywhere near your vagina either in fact.."
Smirking she run her hand down her soulmates body before cupping her gently between her thighs, the small gasp that left the brunettes mouth made her instantly wet.
"I'm pretty sure that when we shared true loves kiss that gave me me full custody of this bad girl"
She squeezed her sex gently for emphasis causing a giggle to escape the Mayor's lips.
"Bad girl? Really Swan?"
Regina teased rolling her eyes playfully and shaking her head as her Saviours fingers lifted up her nightshirt before her mouth bathed her torso in loving kisses.
"Well she certainly brings out the bad in me Madame Mayor"
Regina chuckled at the murmured words and lost her fingers in blonde as very talented lips made their descent and very soon so did her underwear.
