Chapter 2
Mary Margaret's Point of View
"Emma stop!" I scolded as my once again stubborn daughter tried to get out of bed and go to work.
She had only got out of the hospital the day before and she was already insisting she was fine.
"You do know you're not my mother right? I mean Henry's theory isn't real?" Emma complained as I pushed her back into bed.
I rolled my eyes in response she was driving me crazy, but I loved it. I just wished I could share the truth with her but she wasn't ready.
"Aren't you supposed to be at work anyway?" She questioned when I didn't answer her.
"I took the day off to make sure you didn't go to work either." I told her.
"But I'm fine!" Emma argued, throwing her arms dramatically into the air as she did.
"Emma Swan you are not fine. You practically died yesterday and if it's wasn't for some miracle you would be dead!" I cried, feeling the tears return.
I never wanted to see the image of my daughter lying dead on some bed again.
"Wow you really do care….." Emma trailed off.
I wiped away the tears that managed to escape and turn to look at her.
"Yes I do so will you just let me look after you please?" I begged.
Emma slowly nodded and a look of guilt crossed her face.
"It's nice you know…." Emma began before stopping herself.
"What's nice?" I asked confused.
"Having someone…Having someone who cares enough to yell at you when your sick. When I was a kid nobody ever cared. I could have been dying with the flu or throwing up a lung and nobody batted an eye. It takes it affect after a while…." Emma mumbled.
There it was again, that feeling that my heart was breaking. I instantly reached over and pulled a shocked Emma in for a hug. At first she tensed up but I finally felt her relaxing.
"Well here in Storybrook there are a lot of people who care about you so don't go scaring them again ok?" I replied.
"Ok." Emma whispered into my shoulder.
The minute I felt her pull away I wanted to yank her back, but I stopped myself. At the minute I was just her roommate and friend I didn't want to scare her off. So as I let her go I waited for her to say something.
"You know there is one person in town who hates the sight of me? I'm pretty sure she wanted me to die yesterday!" Emma sighed.
It took me a minute to think about whom she was referring to and then it hit me. During the drama with Emma I forgot about my stepmother Regina.
"Regina….." I remarked. It suddenly made sense to me.
What happened had her name all over it.
"Emma did you see Regina yesterday?" I questioned.
"I see Regina everyday it's like she is a permanent rain cloud. Everyday its Miss Swan this and Miss Swan that. I swear the woman tried to get me sick. She was the one who insisted I went to check the docks yesterday. That's how I got all wet you know!" Emma complained.
Of course I knew Emma was just rambling and she didn't really believe Regina was to blame. I on the other hand knew better. From what I had seen Regina had a little bit of magic left in her.
"Emma I need to go out for a while. Promise me you will stay here and rest?" I said.
She didn't answer.
"Emma!" I yelled.
"Yes, ok fine I promise. Don't want to find out what the consequences are of not listening to you…..maybe I should ask Henry if you are always such a bit….." Emma was saying before I cut her off.
"You're right you don't want to know the consequences and there is not point asking Henry because unlike his mother he listens to me!" I smirked.
"Oh and don't use that language!" I scolded.
Emma didn't respond instead she pulled a face, rolled over and pulled the duvet up to her neck.
"Bye MOM!" I heard her say sarcastically as I was leaving the room.
She didn't know how much her saying that meant to me, even if it was a sarcastic joke.
A few moments later I left the apartment and made my way to the mayor's office.
Regina's Point of View
Henry was having his session with Archie and I was in the middle of cleaning up my desk when the office door burst open. At first I expected to see Emma, after her miracle recovery I thought she would be gloating. However I was wrong it was someone much worse. Her mother.
"Miss Blanchard I don't know what you are thinking….." I began but she cut me off.
I was shocked, this wasn't the woman who lived in Storybrook this was more Snow White!
"Save it Regina, I know!" She stated.
'No she couldn't, there is no way. She is talking about something else surly?' I thought to myself.
"N-N-No what?" I replied, trying to keep my tone even.
"Everything. Who you are and who I am. I remember now and I am going to make sure this curse breaks if it is the last thing I do." Snow hissed.
'Remain calm. Nobody will believe her.' The little voice in my head assured.
"I don't know what you are talking about Miss Blanchard but I can see now you might be Henry's main problem." I stated.
"Watch yourself Regina, your little world is going to come crumbling down." Snow threatened.
"Really? Who is going to do that? Miss Swan? Oh now Snow come off it. We both know your daughter isn't here to stay. Especially not if I have a say in it. I mean you saw what happened to her when I got close enough, what happens if I succeed the next time?" I questioned, dropping the clueless act.
My honesty seemed to shock Snow but not for long.
"You will not get close enough to my daughter ever again. I will not let you ruin my family and hurt the people I love. This ends Regina, Emma will succeed and you will have to learn to deal with the consequences." Snow replied before storming off.
Just at that my phone rang. Looking at the caller ID I saw it was Doctor Whale.
"What?" I snapped down the phone.
"Madam Mayor the coma patient you wanted to know about….Well he woke up and right now we don't know where he is….." Whale explained….
Hope you enjoyed :-)
