Chapter Three
Regina's pregnancy was progressing well and she was thankful that the king had not realized that he wasn't the father, another thing was that Leopold though still visiting Regina at night he was no longer violent towards her and on rare occasions would stop when she asked. Unfortunately the same could not be said for Snow White because she has become even worse constantly at Regina's side, demanding her attention or touching her bump and bragging about how she is going to be a amazing big sister. Upon sitting down for breakfast the king announced that they all as a family would be visiting the local village, he warned that he wanted everything to go well as he had heard that his people where no longer in favour of him and that the popularity he once had was steadily slipping away. Regina knew the warning was aimed at her because according to the king his precious daughter could do no wrong so she wasn't all that surprised that when in her bed chambers getting ready for the day ahead the king entered to once again warn her that there would be consequence if anything should go wrong today. Once everyone was ready they made the short journey to the kingdom, all the people had come out to welcome the royal family and to see the progression of Regina's pregnancy as they were all looking forward to the newest royals birth secretly they were all hoping for a boy as know one wanted Snow White as queen. Upon arriving the king left the carriage with one last warning to Regina then greeted the crowd on his exit, smiling at the people Regina happily went around speaking with everyone and was enjoying the company of other people since she doesn't get to have much interaction with anyone within the castle. Everything was going well but then Snow saw something she really wanted so turning to her father she said, Daddy look at that doll... Pointing towards a little girl playing with a doll the king looked in the direction that his daughter was pointing he said, It's a nice doll... It's so pretty... Making her way over Snow stood before the girl saying, I really like your doll... THANK YOU... Where did you get it... MY MAMA GAVE ME IT... Snatching it out of the girls arm Snow continued saying, Don't you think it looks like me... NO PLEASE CAN I HAVE IT BACK... Are you stupid... Holding the doll up to her face saying, See it looks just like me... NO GIVE IT BACK... Are you stupid or something it's like my twin... Putting her hands out for the doll Grace said, YES IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN I PLEASE HAVE IT BACK NOW... I'm not finished with it, daddy can you come over here... The king made is way over and feeling overwhelmed Grace began to cry causing everyone nearby including her father to take notice so he also excused himself from Regina to go over to see what was wrong with his daughter. GRACE ARE YOU OK... PAPA THE PRINCESS WON'T GIVE ME MY DOLLY BACK... Daddy don't you think this doll looks like me... Of course it does but it's not as pretty as you my darling... I want the doll daddy... If you want it, it's yours... And looking at Jefferson he said, What's the price for the doll... PAPA PLEASE DON'T LET THEM TAKE MY DOLL, MAMA LEFT THAT FOR ME... I'M SORRY BUT IT'S NOT FOR SALE... Laughing out loud the king answered, Everything has a price now how much for the doll... Grace screamed out, NO PAPA... Before snatching the doll from Snow's hand, seeing this the king saw red and raising his hand he goes to slap Grace across screaming How dare you snatch that doll from my daughter... But knowing what the king was about to do because she knew the look upon his face, Regina stepped in and took the hit meant for Grace. Falling to the floor from force of the hit, everyone was shocked by what they had seen, though there was many rumours and most had heard Regina's screams this was the first time that the people of the kingdom where seeing the true nature of the supposed kind king they had. Jefferson feeling guilty for what happened to Regina because she had protected his daughter went to her side and helped Regina to her feet but this angered the king even more so he yelled, Remove your filthy hands from my wife... Leopold please don't cause anymore of a scene, let's just go... Shut your mouth whore, you only speak when I give permission... Daddy... Yes sweetheart... I still want the doll... Then you shall have it... NO SHE WON'T, THE DOLL IS NOT FOR SALE... Tossing a bag of coins at him the king answers forcefully, It is, now hand it over... NO... Sneering at him the says, Have it your way... Guards... Guards... A army of men soon surrounded around Jefferson and his daughter and seeing the fear upon the little girls face Regina broke her silence saying, Leopold don't do this... Shut up... Now you either give me the doll or suffer the consequences of defying your king... I CAN'T, PLEASE MY WIFE GAVE MY DAUGHTER THAT DOLL BEFORE SHE PASSED ON, IT'S ALL MY DAUGHTER HAS LEFT OF HER MOTHER... Fine have it your way, guards take him away... DON'T TAKE MY PAPA... Walking over to her Snow says, Give me the doll and we won't take him... Looking at the doll sadly then at her papa she raises her arm out to Snow with the doll and snatching it back Snow says sarcastically, Thank you for the gift... Turning to walk away Snow stops when she hears Grace ask, WILL YOU LET MY PAPA GO... No... BUT... You young lady are about to learn a valuable lesson, don't ever disrespect those above you, now guards take him away... Running over to Jefferson, Grace was desperately trying to get the guards to let her papa go she was begging saying, PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY PAPA, HE'S ALL I HAVE... The guards were hesitant not really wanting to do it but when the king's booming voice rang out saying, Take him away now... The guards jumped into action but when Jefferson pleaded to say goodbye to his daughter with a nod from the king they stepped back to allow him to wrap his daughter in a hug whispering in her ear, I'M SORRY GRACE BUT PAPA HAS TO GO AWAY FOR A WHILE... NO PAPA, I GAVE MY DOLL TO THE PRINCESS SO THEY WOULD LET YOU GO... I KNOW... And looking around the crowd that had gathered he was grateful when he spotted his neighbours and knowing that they would take good care of her so Jefferson secretly gestured for the women to approach saying, BE A GOOD GIRL AND I WILL SEE YOU SOON... DON'T LEAVE ME PAPA PLEASE YOUR ALL I HAVE... I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE BUT I HAVE TOO... THIS IS MY FAULT... NO, THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT... Grabbing on has tight has she could to her father hoping it won't stop him from being took away broke Jefferson completely as he chocked out, TAKE HER... PLEASE JUST TAKE HER... So the women steps forward and pulls Grace into her arms. Snow I think it's only fair that you bestow upon this peasant his punishment... Really daddy... Yes, now what should his punishment be... Looking around the crowd Snow's eyes fell upon the women holding a sobbing Grace and with a sinister smile on her face before saying aloud for all to hear, Banishment... Everyone gasped aloud at the extreme choice of punishment as they watched Jefferson being dragged away screaming because of his fate. Dragging Regina into the carriage they took their leave following behind the screaming Jefferson and leaving behind his distraught daughter without a backwards glance.
At The Castle
Regina was sent directly to her room for her behaviour in the town which the king had deemed unacceptable and he proceeded to deal with Jefferson by calling the blue fairy for help, this resulted in Jefferson being not only banished from the kingdom but to a different world altogether he was sent to wonderland were he would spend the next few years being driven mad by trying to get his magical hat to work so that he could return to his daughter. Later that evening while making her way down for dinner Regina stumbles across a doll laying abandoned on the ground, picking it up she realizes it's the one from early today so taking it with her she enters the dining room where the king and Snow where already seated waiting for her arrival. Sitting down the tension in the room was obvious so try to break it Regina turned to Snow and said, I found this on floor... Placing the doll on the table next to Snow but was angry when Snow turned her nose up at it saying, I left it there because I don't want it... You wanted it earlier... Yeah that's when I thought it looked like me but I was wrong, I'm a lot prettier... Seriously after the trouble you caused today over this doll and your just tossing it away... Regina... Daddy she's being mean to me... She will stop if she knows what's good for her... No she will not stop because your daughter needs to realize that there is consequences to her a actions... My Snow doesn't need to realize anything, the consequences as you put it are nothing to do with her as long as it doesn't effect her then she has nothing to worry about... As long as it doesn't effect her, she has left a little girl without any parents and took away the only thing that little girl had left to remind her of her mother... Like I've said as long as it doesn't effect her then she can do and have whatever she wants... That's what your going to end up regretting, raising your daughter to be a selfish brat and care about no one but herself... Don't you dare disrespect my daughter... Watching the argument intently Snow started to fake cry knowing her daddy would get more angry at Regina because she didn't like the fact that she was saying such nasty things about her and walking towards her father she said, Daddy she's so mean about me, make her stop saying nasty things... I'm sorry Snow I'm not trying to hurt you but it's the truth... Turning into her daddy's shoulder and fake cried even louder and like she knew would happen the king lost it and screamed at Regina, Get back to your room and stay there until I say you can leave... Seeing Snow look at her with a smug smile Regina grabs the doll before storming out of the dining room and going to her room. Calling out as soon as she entered her room, Rumplestiltskin... Then looking around to see if he would appear she sighed out when he didn't so she said, Rumplestiltskin don't ignore me... WHAT DOES OUR QUEEN WANT NOW... Snow had a man ban... BANISHED... Looking at him shocked, Rumplestiltskin laughed saying, YES I KNOW BUT I REALLY DON'T SEE WHY YOUR CALLING ME FOR THAT... Gulping Regina asked, Could you get him back... YES... Will you... NO... What why... WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME... Reuniting a little girl with her father, the only parent she has left... Thinking of his son Rumplestiltskin was about to say yes when he realised that he could use this to his advantage so he said instead, NO, NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON... And watching her closely he waited for the right moment to say, HOWEVER YOU CAN GET HIM BACK YOURSELF... I can... YES, IT SEEMS OUR TRAINING IS BACK ON DEARIE... You want to train me in magic again... YOUR GOING TO NEED IT IF YOU WANT TO REUNITE THAT LITTLE GIRL WITH HER FATHER... What's the catch... WELL SINCE YOU HAVE A HABIT OF GOING BACK ON YOUR WORD... And looking directly at her bump he continued, WE WILL MAKE A DEAL THAT YOU CAN'T BACK OUT OF... Before I say yes, you need to send this back to the little girl... And holding the doll up. Writing a quick note onto the doll, to let the girl know that she would try return her father too her, Regina signed the card with her initial then passed it to Rumplestiltskin who using magic sent it to the girl and then showing Regina the image of Grace receiving it. Looking once again at Rumplestiltskin she added, We have a deal... Smiling he said before disappearing, OUR MAGIC LESSONS BEGIN TOMORROW... Placing her hand upon her bump she whispered, I hope mummy hasn't made a mistake by making a deal with him little one... The next morning Regina learned that the king had decided to punish her for what she said at dinner last night when she went to leave her room and was stopped by the guards who then informed her that she could only leave her room when accompanied by the king or Snow.
