Chapter 2

Two months had passed since the last time Emma saw Regina, she missed her like crazy, she missed her scent, her smooth skin, she missed their conversations but what she missed the most was the feeling of the brunette's body against hers after they had made love. Emma was in her room, sitting on her bed holding Regina's photograph in one hand and caressing her face with the forefinger of the other. Her thoughts were interrupted by Henry that entered the room and was calling for her.

"Emma, are you listening to me?"

"Yeah kid, what's up?" she looked at him, he looked sad, he looked just like she felt.

"Emma do you think I could see her?" he asked, sounding afraid and not knowing what her reaction might be.

"Henry…" she sighed "If you wanna see her I support you, she's your mom and nothing is going to change that kid." She signaled him to get closer.

He moved closer and sat on the bed right in front of her "I miss her Emma. Everyone still thinks she's evil but I don't believe that, not anymore." A tear slid down his cheek.

Emma pulled him closer to her and hugged him, she didn't know which one of them needed comfort the most so she didn't let him go "She's not evil kid and she loves you more than anything in this world. Have you tried calling her?" he nodded.

"And?" she pressed.

"She doesn't pick up her cell phone and when I call her at home she doesn't answer or Kathryn picks it up and tells me some excuse of why mom can't come to the phone." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Kathryn? That's weird, what is she doing there?"

"She has been spending a few nights there with mom and she is her only friend, she's the one that goes grocery shopping and arranges everything that mom needs. I'm just glad that she's not completely alone."

Emma was listening to Henry but at the same time she was feeling jealous because she was the one supposed to be taking care of Regina, not Kathryn, but she also knew that she had been the one to abandon the brunette so she had no right to be jealous or to even make a scene. Looking at Henry she asked him curiously "How do you know all that?"

He bent his head down, like he was ashamed of something and then he told her what he had been doing for the last month "I've been…kinda of…watching the house, trying to see mom from a far and then I began following Kathryn, I wanted to know why she was going there every day."

"Oh, I see…" she bumped her shoulder against him "There is nothing to be ashamed kid, you wanted to see her and you went after what you wanted, I'm proud of you." I wish I was brave enough to go after her and tell her that I need her and that she is all that I want she thought.

"You're mad?" he asked.

"No kid, I'm not mad." She ruffled his hair "Come on, go get ready, let's try and see your mom ok?"

"Thanks Emma." He gave her a quick hug and ran from the room to go get dressed, he was still with his pajamas on.


Regina wasn't feeling so good, for the last couple of weeks every morning she would wake up and run to the bathroom, spilling her guts out. That morning Kathryn came in and helped her, holding her hair and caressing her back.

"Are you ok?"

"Does it look like I'm ok?" she spat out but quickly looked at the blonde helping her "I'm sorry Kathryn, I didn't mean it like that, it's just…I must have caught some bug or something."

"Are you certain that it's a bug? You haven't left this house in two months. For how long have you been vomiting in the mornings?"

"I don't know a couple of weeks give it or take a day, why?" she asked.

"Are you sure you're not pregnant?" the blonde sincerely asked.

Regina's eyes almost shot out of her face that was impossible "Don't be ridiculous Kathryn there is no way I'm pregnant. The last time I had sex with a man was eight months ago, since then the only one I've been is Emma, you know that."

"Yeah I know that, sorry, that was a silly question. Maybe you should go to the hospital, have them check you out."

"Are you insane? They would kill me instead of healing me. Maybe we can go to the pharmacy and buy something to settle down my stomach."

"Ok, as you wish Regina. I'm going to get dressed see you downstairs in a bit."

Regina washed her teeth and got dressed quickly. Pregnant? What an insane idea, only Kathryn could think of something like that. She shook her head once more and left her room.

Both women decided to take a walk instead of driving to the pharmacy, they were a simple five hundred meters away from there when Regina began to feel cramps in her belly. Her face paled and she leaned her body against Kathryn.

"Kathryn I'm not feeling good, it hurts." She said in pain.

"Just a little longer Regina, we are almost reaching the pharmacy. Come I'll help you." And she placed Regina's arm over her shoulders and she placed her right arm around the brunette's waist for more support and they both resumed walking. They were reaching the pharmacy door when Henry saw them and ran towards them followed by Emma.

"Mom." He yelled, catching Regina's attention. She looked at him and despite her pain she smiled at the little figure running towards her.

When he was close to her he stopped running, he didn't know what to do, should he hug her? Better yet, would she let him hug her? After all he abandoned her. So without knowing what to do he simply stared at her. He quickly noticed that she looked paler than usual so he immediately asked "Mom are you feeling ok?" she could hear the worry in his voice, it seemed genuine.

"I'm fine Henry, just some bug I think." She didn't know what to do either, should she hug him, caress his cheek? She opted for doing nothing because she felt like if she let go of Kathryn's hold she would fall and she didn't want her son to see that.

When Emma came closer, the blonde younger woman was blind with jealousy, she didn't see how sick Regina looked, she only saw the way Kathryn was holding her, supporting her, holding her by the waist. She had heard Henry's question and she had an answer of her own "Of course she's fine, don't you see kid? She came for a walk with her new girlfriend." She emphasized on the word girlfriend.

Henry looked at her confused, why was she reacting this way? She had told him that everything between her and his mom was over for good, she told him that she would never be with her again. If that was true, why did this look to him like a jealousy scene?

"Emma I don't know what you're implying, but whatever it is you're wrong." Kathryn told her.

"Oh, I'm not implying anything." But before Emma could continue Regina cut her off.

"Miss Swan I owe no explanation about my life to you, so if you don't mind move on with your life and let us be." Regina sounded cold and distant and that felt to Emma like she was being stabbed with a knife, it was painful.

"Actually I was going to your house, Henry wanted to see you, but I see you're too busy right now, maybe another time." Her eyes were filled with a sparkling rage.

"I'm never busy for my son Miss Swan." Regina said firmly.

"Well it doesn't look like it." Emma said sarcastically.

"How dare you?" Regina was beginning to lose her patience "You were the one who took him away from me." She said letting go of Kathryn's hold and coming nearer Emma "You took everything from me, so spare me of your little scenes, it doesn't suit you."

She was so close that Emma could smell her scent mixed with her perfume, all Emma had to do was close the gap between them and savor those sweet soft lips that once belonged to her. She shook her head and instead of kissing the brunette she pushed her away, making Regina lose her balance and fall. When she hit the floor, she immediately surrounded her belly with her hands, letting go a painful scream.

Henry was the first one to notice "Mom you're bleeding."

Regina looked at herself and saw the blood in her pants and Kathryn began yelling for someone to get an ambulance. Emma was stunned, she had done that, whatever it was that was happening to Regina it was her fault. The brunette was in pain and crying "Kathryn it hurts." She said sobbing.

Emma didn't waste another second, seeing Regina like this was killing her, so she grabbed Regina and carried her bridal style towards her car it was closer and they would get to the hospital faster. Once in the car she broke every speed limit, all that mattered was to get Regina to the hospital. When they got there Kathryn and Henry were the first ones to enter the hospital, immediately followed by Emma that was carrying a still bleeding brunette.

"Call Whale, it's an emergency." Emma yelled getting the attention of everyone. After a minute, Whale was there and she simply told him "If you don't help her or even dare to make her worse I'm coming for you." She said menacingly.

He understood the threat and nodded. He looked at her and asked her to follow him. They entered his medical office and she placed Regina in a small bed "You're going to be ok." She whispered to the brunette and then left the room.

They saw a couple of nurses going inside but they never came out. So they sat there on the floor waiting for news. An hour later Regina was being transported for her personal room and Whale still hadn't told them anything, so they followed, hoping that once in the room someone would tell them something.

When the nurses came out they left the door slightly opened and they could hear the conversation between Regina and Dr. Whale.

"Regina you almost had a miscarriage, we were able to prevent it this time. Didn't you know that you were pregnant?"

"Of course I didn't know." She yelled at him "But it's just not possible, I can't be pregnant."

"Well, impossible or not you are indeed pregnant." He stated.

"How long am I?" she asked him.

"Two months Regina." She smiled and caressed her belly.

Without thinking Emma barged in the room, she was furious, she was feeling betrayed and she was feeling jealous of the fact that Regina had used some guy to get over her and worse than that she let herself get pregnant of a child that isn't hers, a child that doesn't belong to both of them.

"I'm going to get your blood analyses and I'll be right back." Whale said, leaving both women alone.

"How could you?" Emma screamed "How could you betray me?"

"Emma I didn't betray you…" Emma didn't let her finish.

"Who? Who's the father? Tell me, goddamn it, with who did you sleep with?" she yelled furious.

"I didn't sleep with anyone except you Emma, I swear." Regina yelled back. "You are the 'father' of this baby, no one else." She said with tears staining her face.

"You're lying. How could I possibly be the 'father'? The last time I checked I was still a woman."

"Emma, please listen to me…" she was cut off again.

"No I don't want to hear anything else, you…you gave your body to some idiot knowing that it would hurt me, I didn't think you would go so low just to hurt me." Emma said harshly.

Kathryn walked in the room and pulled Emma away from Regina, because the blonde was dangerously close to the brunette and extremely furious "That's enough Sheriff, you have done enough damage for one day, get out." She screamed while pushing Emma out of the room.

Once outside she saw Henry looking at her, shaking his head in disapproval of her behavior. "I'm going to see my mom." He said avoiding her touch.

"I'll wait for you in the car." She told him, lowering the hand that she had tried to use to touch him. He simply shrugged his shoulders and entered the room closing the door behind him.

When he got in the room Kathryn was hugging his mom, telling her that everything was going to be alright, but his mom's tears wouldn't stop falling. "Mom?"

Kathryn broke their embrace and signaled him to come closer "I'm going to your house to get you something to wear. I'll be right back." She winked at the brunette.

"Thank you." Regina said in a whisper.

Once Kathryn was gone, Regina cleaned her face and patted the bed. Henry understood her request and sat on the bed as closer to her as possible. "Are you really pregnant?" he asked in a whisper.

"Yes."

He bent his head down "So that means you don't need me anymore." He let the tears fall he knew he had lost his mother, why would she want or love him when he had called her evil, he had made her cry and in the end he abandoned her just like everyone else in her life. He now knew her side of the story, he had listened when she had told Emma the truth and made her break the curse with true loves kiss, his mother's were one another's true love but Emma couldn't see that, she refused to believe it. And now his mom was expecting a new child, a child that wouldn't be like him, a child that would love her despite everything and wouldn't be blinded by the fact of being adopted like he had been.

"Henry…" she whispered and pulled him for a hug "I will always love you my little prince." He nestled his head on her chest and held tight to her. "I will always need you sweetheart, no matter what happened you were, are and will always be my son, even if you hate me you will always be in my heart."

"I love you mom, I'm so sorry for leaving you." He said between sobs. "I missed you so much. Can you forgive me?"

Regina smiled and kissed the top of his head "Of course I forgive you honey, I love you so much and this baby will have the best big brother ever."

"Is it true?" he asked.

"What is true honey?"

"Is Emma the baby's 'father'?" he asked looking her in the eyes now, she had promised to never lie to him again.

"Yes, she is, but she doesn't believe me and I just can't fight anymore, I'm not going to try and convince her, I just…I don't want to be rejected again and suffer even more. Do you understand Henry?" she knew this was too much for him but she needed him to know the truth, no more lies.

"Don't worry mom, she will come around." He said with a smile, trying to give his mother some hope.

"I don't think so Henry but it doesn't matter now, all I care about his you and this new baby that's growing in here." She said taking Henry's hand and placing it on top of her belly, making the boy smile. "You and I are all this baby needs to be happy."

"Mom, how did you get pregnant from Emma? That is really weird." He asked confused.

"Well it's very rare but it may happen when the couple shares true love and when both have magical abilities, just like me and Emma and it is also a blessing conceded to those who have suffered and that have finally found their happiness, all united by true love, the most powerful magic of all." She tried to explain as simply as possible.

"I get it mom, true love is the most powerful magic of all." He said with an all knowing tone and an all knowing expression to go with it.

"Exactly sweetie. When do you have to leave?" she asked sad that she would have to let him go.

"Emma said she would wait for me in the car. She can wait, I'm mad at her right now and I don't want to leave you alone mom, so I'm waiting for Kathryn to come back."

"Why are you mad at Emma?"

"She was mean to you, she pushed you and made you fall, you could've lost the baby because of her. Oh and she is jealous of Kathryn because she is helping you." He stated angrily.

"Henry I was already feeling bad it's not completely Emma's fault honey. About her jealousy of Kathryn I can't do nothing about it, she will have to deal with it, Kathryn is my friend and she's been the only one that didn't abandon me and helped me get through a very difficult time." She said caressing his cheek.

"I know mom, don't worry, I'm glad you have a friend and I will eventually forgive Emma." He said smiling at her "Can I hug you again?" he asked sheepishly.

"Of course. Lay here with me just like when you were smaller." He smiled once again and snuggled against her.

Whale was going to Regina's room when he saw the Sheriff listening behind the door that was slightly opened. He approached her and cleared his throat "Are you getting in Sheriff?"

She jumped in surprise and shook her head "Not a word about this. I just wanted to know what they were talking about." She said shifting from one foot to the other.

"You don't have to explain your reasons to me Sheriff. Now excuse me I have to talk with Regina." And he entered the room not closing the door completely.

"So I see you are well guarded Miss Mills." He said pointing at Henry. "So I have to warn you that your pregnancy is risky and you may suffer a miscarriage if you're not careful with yourself. I'm not saying this to scare you but you need to rest as much as possible, not make any kind of physical efforts and have a proper well balanced diet. So if you don't mind me asking is the father of the child aware of the situation?"

Regina looked at Henry and then fixed her gaze on Whale "The other parent isn't interested in this child, this baby is mine and mine alone."

"I'm just asking because you cannot be alone and if you don't have someone to help you than I suggest you stay here, it's safer for you and the baby, at least until we are absolutely sure you are out of the danger zone."

"What? I'm not staying here, I'm going home, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, thank you very much." She said getting angry.

"Regina please calm down, you can't react that way and if you want to keep this baby you'll have to do as I say or you might lose it, is that what you want?" he asked seriously.

"No, this baby is all I've got left of her, I can't lose it." she said caressing her belly.

"Don't worry mom, I'll take care of you, I want to go back home." Henry said, his eyes shining with hope.

"Henry I know you want to help your mom but she will need to have an adult to take care of her, she needs to be in bed rest…" Whale didn't finish his sentence because he was cut off by someone they weren't expecting.

"I'll take care of her."

"Miss Swan I appreciate your concern but I rather stay here then have you move in to my house. I have a better idea, maybe Kathryn won't mind to help me." Regina said coldly, trying her best to ignore her heart's desire of accepting Emma in her home.

"Mom, please let Emma help, that way I can go back home with you, please." His big puppy dog eyes were going to be the end of her.

"Ok, but once I'm cleared, out of danger, I want her gone Henry, is that ok?" she told him closing her eyes, not wanting to look at Emma and afraid of her son's answer.

"Awesome. That's fine by me mom. Thank you." He knew his mom was afraid of Emma hurting her again but he would make sure that Emma was on her best behavior and he would make her see that the baby was hers too.

"Well since we've come to an agreement I'm going to give the Sheriff here a prescription for some vitamins and a few other things you will need Regina. You'll have to spend this night here so we can make sure you are in condition to go home tomorrow." Regina huffed but nodded her agreement. Satisfied with that answer Whale left them alone.

As Whale left, Kathryn made her way inside the room "So what have I missed?" she asked innocently, winning a roll of eyes from Regina, she was completely confused.
