A/N: Hi! Thanks guys for all the fave/review/follow. Here goes ch2. I hope you guys like it. Enjoy :)


The next morning, Emma was awakened by strong smell of coffee from the kitchen. She was sleeping on the couch where she healed Regina the other night. As she is so not a morning person, the smell of good coffee is always one of many ways to wake her up completely. Well, until she gulped some of it into her system, that is.

She sleepily thumped her feet on her way to the kitchen (where Regina put her coffee machine) and greeted with the sight of a healthy Regina. Emma exhaled a loud sigh, a relief, without even realising it. "Morning," Emma mumbled.

"Good morning, Emma." Regina said quietly. She offered a fresh cup of coffee for Emma, who took it gratefully.

"Thanks." Emma mumbled as she blowed inside her hot cup. "How are you feeling?"

"You did good yesterday, thank you." Regina said matter of factly.

"No problem. You ready to go?"

Regina nodded.

They drove together in silence, in Emma's bug to the loft to check in on Henry. After that, Emma promised Regina to get her heart back to her chest. It really unnerved Emma how Regina was walking around without her heart, literally. But before they were halfway there, Emma's phone rang frantically. It was Mary Margaret.

"Hey Mary Margaret, what's up?"

"Emma! You have to come fast! Zelena is here! We—" suddenly the phone dropped and there's a loud sound of a sick thud and David's growling. Then Emma heard David's sword clanging and Henry's muffled sound accompanied by Zelena's cackling madly.

Emma's feature pale considerably. She stopped the bug and put it on handheld brake. "Henry."

Regina's lips quivered as she reached Emma's hand and suddenly a purple smoke was engulfing them and by the time Emma blinked, she was already at the loft.

Zelena was trying to get Henry's heart but her hand was electrified every time it got near Henry's chest, whilst his chest is glowing with bright orange light. Henry was trying to get away but he was too petrified by the woman that keep getting near him and suddenly he saw the big sword on David's hand and his mum appearing in the middle of purple mist. Shock doesn't even begin to cover it.

"Mum!" Henry cried out.

"Henry!" Both Emma and Regina shouted and Emma ran towards Henry. Regina waved her hand quickly and Zelena was thrown away to another part of the room.

Regina positioned herself in front of Emma and Henry, as if she was their shield.

"David, is Mary Margaret okay?" Emma asked while she is still hugging Henry tightly.

It turned out that the thump sound Emma heard earlier on the phone was the sound of Mary Margaret's head hitting the wall quite violently. That's why David tried to hit Zelena with the sword. The pregnant Mary Margaret was still conscious but they were worried.

"I don't know. She's still not responding well," David's voice quivered.

"What do you want, Greenie?" Regina hissed to Zelena.

"Isn't it obvious?" Zelena mocked. "I want a heart. It doesn't matter whose, but I prefer to take it from someone you love," she licked her lips. "And considering their hearts," she gestured to Mary Margaret and David, "couldn't suffice, well, the next best thing is Henry's heart. What did you do to his heart, hmm?" Zelena said. She then wiped the blood that was dripping from the corner of her lips.

"No more tricks left, hmm? " Regina taunted.

Zelena strolled towards Regina and she stopped right in front of her. "Oh, don't you worry little sis, I still have a few left on my sleeve," Zelena smiled wickedly. Suddenly she plunged her right hand right inside Regina's chest, and Regina gasped in pain.

"Regina!" Emma shouted and stepped forward towards Regina. She had enough of these. So she did the only thing she could think of at that moment. She grasped Zelena's hand and pulled it out of Regina's chest. "I'm tired," she pushed Zelena away with all her might and Zelena fell down with a thud, "with you hurting my family!" Emma shouted.

Zelena rised up gracefully as she brushed the invisible lint in her green coat. That gesture is so very familiar with Emma who has seen it a hundred times in Regina.

"Well in that case," Zelena said as she clenched her jaw and made her lips smile forcefully. "I will hurt you."

Emma faintly heard Henry's cries as he saw the horror in his life so suddenly. She took a sharp breath as Zelena's hand grasped her heart. When she tried to tug it loose, the heart didn't budge but the pain it caused still left Emma almost breathless. She felt all her other sense became dull while the soft blue light started to glow in her chest. Zelena tried to pull the heart once again with all her might, and Emma literally fell down to her knees from all the pain she has to experience.

"The rumour is true. Luckily I have something that may pleasure you, Saviour." Zelena cackled evilly. She abruptly pulled out her hand from Emma's chest.

The pain was making Emma fuzzy. She couldn't really take in what actually happened.

Zelena put her right hand in her pocket briefly, and tilted her head. Her lips moved to form a slow lazy smile (which was still wicked, mind you). She pulled out her hand from her pocket and lunged her right hand inside Emma's chest, again.

This time, Emma felt something small jab her heart and the pain was too excruciating she let out a small cry through her clenched teeth. As soon as the pain started, it stopped. Emma tried to launch herself at Zelena to manhandle her but before she got the chance to, Zelena vanished inside a dark green smoke laughing wickedly.

Emma grabbed her chest. She panted lightly for a while, but after that she felt fine, luckily. She turned back to see Regina calming Henry down by hugging him tightly. Seeing both of them were okay, Emma turned to her parents.

"David. How's Mary Margaret? The baby?" Emma asked hurriedly.

"Emma," Mary Margaret called her as she tried to move. "I think we're okay." She smiled weakly.

"Can you stand? I want to take you to hospital, just to be sure," Emma stated.

"I'll take your mother. I think Henry deserves an explanation," David said softly to Emma as he helped his wife to his feet. "Are you okay?" He asked Emma.

Emma just nodded swiftly and exhaled softly when she saw Mary Margaret up and about on her feet. She smiled to both of them as she turned her back and went to Henry. She heard the shuffling sound of her parents getting out of the loft.

"Hey kid," Emma called her son who was still snuggling close to Regina on the couch. "You okay?"

"I— I think I am, but I'm not sure…" Henry said with a small voice. "What was all that?" Henry's lips quivered as tears threatened to fall down. He unconsciously burrowed deeper into Regina's side.

"I don't know where to start," Emma exhaled softly. "Regina, a little help?" Emma grimaced.

"It's alright Henry. You can start by asking some questions, and we'll be here to answer it." Regina said softly as she rubbed her hand on Henry's back soothingly.

"Oh, do you know where his book is?" Emma asked Regina.

"I tried to find it but it seems to disappear with the last curse," Regina stated softly.

"Curse?" Henry's eyes widened at the mention of that horrible thing, although he has calmed down considerably.

"This is going to be a lot smoother if we have the book," Emma smiled sadly. "I still don't know how to explain the curse without hurting any of us," she stated.

Emma held her gaze at Regina, who was having the same conflicted thoughts as she was.

"Henry, sweetheart, will you believe me if I told you that I was your mother?" Regina asked softly, and Emma could heard the fear in her voice as well. The fear of rejection, from the one she loves the most.

Henry looked up to Regina, who was still burrowed on his side, with a cute little smile gracing his lips. He shrugged. "I think so…"

"With you trying to glue yourself with your mother, it would appear so, kid." Emma huffed.

Henry smiled sheepishly and Regina was smiling so bright it surprised Emma.

"Jealous, Miss Swan?" Regina purred and it couldn't be interpreted as non other than flirting.

Emma gulped audibly and she turned back her attention to Henry. "Are you mad at me?"

"No, I was wondering when you guys split up," Henry scrunched his face.

"Huh?"

"What do you mean, dear?"

They both spoke at the same time. This time Henry was smiling at their reaction.

"Wait kid. You just saw magic, live, with your own eyes, and you are more interested in my relationship with Regina?" Emma asked with her eyebrows up.

"We have a relationship?" Now it's Regina turn to be surprised by Emma.

"Well… Uh— we have to get your heart." Emma abruptly changed the subject.

"Wow. You're walking around without your heart?" Henry asked aghast.

"Now you're panicking him," Regina gestured to Henry.

Emma glared at Regina before saying, "I'm gonna call my parents, and then we're gonna get your heart." She pulled out her phone from her pocket and quickly dialed David's number. She waited for a while before David picked up.

"Hey David. Yeah? She's okay? Okay. Yeah. I'm going to the station with Regina and Henry. We'll meet you at the hospital after we're done. Yeah. I know. Hug her for me? Kay. Bye."

Henry and Regina was still watching her with that curious expression that was very similar gracing on their face.

"I hope you didn't put my heart in one of those filthy drawer in the station," Regina growled.

"Well—" Emma's face blushed.

"Oh dear lord. I didn't know you are this prosaic, Miss Swan." Regina drawled.

"But nobody can guess where I put it right? So your heart is safe with me." Emma pouted.

Henry laughed out loud at the double meaning of the sentence because why the hell not. He already thought her mother and this strange comforting woman are dating or something, so that sentence really take the point.

Emma and Regina was surprised by the sound of joy coming from their son. Emma eventually let the laughter died down and shrugged.

Even Henry thought I was in a relationship with Regina. Man, I know she was hot, but hell, she can be such a bitch sometimes, Emma thought. She shook her head to clear the thoughts and said, "Come on, we haven't got all day."
