After this response of you I had to write the second chapter immediately. I think it is not as good as the first but after 3 new written endings for this chapter I finally decided for this one. If you have some ideas for the plot don't hesitate to tell me them:)
I hope I don't write them to much out of character but if I do just say when and how and I will think about it.
Thank you for reading my first chapter
Enjoy:*
Gold studied Reginas face for a moment before he put his hands over her chest and closed his eyes. He murmured something and purple smoke gathered around his hands. Slowly he sank them to Reginas chest and pulled the water out of her lungs. Gold threw it next to them onto the ground and Emma quickly pulled Regina into her arms to keep her warm. "Oh Regina. Why the hell did you do this? You can't leave me alone with Henry. I even don't know to feed myself properly, how do you think I'll manage that? Never again.",Emma whispered in Reginas ear. Gold sighed and pulled his phone out to inform Emmas parents. "We should bring her to your home.",Gold said and Emma nodded. She picked Regina up bridal style and brought her to the car. Carefully she laid her down in the backseat of her car before she climbed into the driver seat and waited for Gold. They drove silently to the apartment and watched the environment. Emma couldn't understand Regina. How could she do that to Henry. To her. She sighed and Gold played with his cane. "She is insane, isn't she?",he asked. Attempted to make a joke to lighten up the mood in the car. "Shut up, Gold. I appreciate that you helped her but please just shut up.",Emma said and pulled in a parking lot. Quickly she got out of the car and heaved Regina out. She looked into the pale face and felt how the air left her lungs for a moment. The fear to lose Regina was to much for her and she fought against her tears. Gold held a door open for them and Emma carried Regina upstairs. When she finally arrived in the apartment , she walked to her bed and laid her down. Softly she hummed a lullaby and stroked Reginas cheek. "Please wake up soon." "Ma? Will she be okay?",Henry asked her and sat down next to Regina and Emma. "I don't know. Only time can tell us that. I hope so." "I love her, you know?" "Yes. And most important. She knows it too. Okay? " Henry nodded. He snuggled close to Regina and fell fast asleep. Emma watched them before falling asleep herself.
Snow,David and Neal arrived ten minutes later and Snow checked on them. She smiled to herself and covert them with a blanket. Afterwards she retreated and walked to David and Neal. "They are sleeping. Regina seems a bit feverish but hopefully it will cool down soon enough.",Snow said and gave David a kiss. "I think you should go home now, Neal." He looked like he wanted to protest but Gold gave him a glare and he nodded. "We see us tomorrow.",he said and walked out of the apartment with Gold.
Everything was dark around Regina. She looked at her surroundings just to find something she could recognize. To recognize where she was. And then she found it. The only thing she never wanted to see again. The face of her mother. The face of the person who made her life a living hell. She froze in fear and just stared into the brown cold eyes of Cora. "Mo… Mother?",she asked scared. An evil smirk played around Coras lips and it made Regina shudder. "My dear little girl. Why are you disappointing me? You know that I don't like that, my dear little girl." "Y-yes Mother. I'm sorry, Mother. I… I am just too… too weak." "You were never strong." "Yes, Mother.",Regina said defeated. She sank down to her knees and hugged herself. Slowly she started to sob uncontrollably. " Sadly your are my only child. You were never strong enough and you still demanded that I should love you. No one could ever love you. How could someone. Your just a shell with nothing in the inside." And with that Cora disappeared into purple smoke and left Regina alone. "Daddy… Daddy.",she just choked out and crashed into another wave of darkness.
She woke up screaming for her father as she felt a cold hand touching her forehead. "Sshh. I'm here, Regina. Everything is fine.",Emma told her and softly stroked over her cheekbone. Regina suddenly started sobbing again and Emma held her close. "I'm here. Sh. I'm here and I won't leave you, okay?" "Wh-why? You… you hate me.",Regina sobbed into Emmas chest and Emma laughed softly. "No, I don't hate you, Regina. I never could. You know why?" Regina shook her head. "Because you are a incredible mother and you raised Henry so well.",they sat in silence for some heartbeats before Emma started to speak again. "Whenever you are ready to talk about… about this attempt… I will be there." "Thank… thank you.",Regina answered before she fell unconscious again.
Emma stared down at Regina. She slept almost 3 hours before Regina started to talk in her dream. She tried to wake her but it seemed that the dream had her in a unyielding grip. Henry was carried away from her as soon as the screaming had started and was now kept in Snow and Davids caring arms. In these last 3 hours she felt connected to Regina. The almost experience to lose Regina was something that she couldn't and wouldn't want to bear. She held Regina and watched her sleeping until she noticed the little bump. She stroked carefully over it and realized what it was. Regina was pregnant. "Regina?",she asked softly but didn't get a response. Lovingly she stroked Reginas belly and smiled softly. She fell asleep shortly afterwards and they both had a peaceful night.
When Regina woke up again was she alone and she panicked. Because of the fever she wasn't aware of the fact that she was at the small apartment and started to freak out. She jumped off of the bed and fell over something. She crashed onto the ground and cried out loud. "Regina! Regina! What are you doing?",Emma shouted when she bursted into the room. Regina was laying sobbingly onto her back and held her pregnant belly. Emma was immediately by her side and helped her up. "What's up?" "L…labor.",Regina sobbed and Emma took her hand. "I will bring you to the hospital, okay? Everything will be fine. Trust me, okay?" Regina just nodded and clinged onto Emma. They got into the living room where Henry and Neal were sitting. "Mom? Mom is everything okay?",Henry asked desperately. "Just… labor…",Regina choked out and sobbed. "Labor? Who would be this insane and would sleep with you? You don't deserve a child.",Neal spat and Emma shoved him away from Regina. "Shut up, jerk.",Emma snapped and helped Regina to the door. "Henry please take my car keys. We have to bring your mother to the hospital." "Okay."
Together they brought Regina to the hospital where Whale prepared the surgery already. While they waited Neal came to the hospital with flowers and some chocolate. Emma looked at him disapproving but stood up to talk to him in private. "This is not the best time, Neal." "I'm sorry that I lashed out earlier… I didn't mean it like that… but just because of her stupid curse we couldn't have our own happy ending.",he said and Emma sighed. "It's not okay but I forgive you.",Emma said and Neal pulled her flush against him. He kissed her neck and let his hands roam over her body, but she pushed him away. "Regina is in surgery and all of what you think is sex? Are you serious?",Emma said angrily and Neal formed a fist with his hand before he relaxed it again. "Please go, Neal. I can't deal with you right now." "Fine.",he spat and stormed away. Whale came to Emma and Henry an hour later. "Are they okay?",Emma asked nervous.
