At the office Regina couldn't get any work done. All day she was thinking about Emma and what might have upset her. She was playing yesterday and this morning over and over again in her head and couldn't come up with anything. This was odd because she would normally be so quick witted that she could tell which moment it all went wrong.
"I don't believe this. Why am I getting so worked up over Emma fucking Swan?" Regina immediately covered her mouth. Since when does she swear? Calming down Regina thought for a moment.
One, Emma was the one who was getting angry. Two, Emma was using magic. Three, she was now swearing. And four, she didn't send Snow flying. That alone was enough to know something was wrong.
"Oh my fucking God. I'm becoming Emma." With that Regina fainted.
Hearing a thump Teri, Regina's secretary, she slowly opened the mayor's office door. Peaking in she saw a head on the floor and screamed. Not really knowing what to do. Or not really wanting to call Henry, Teri knew the mayor wouldn't like that. Teri called the only person who could actually stand in front of the mayor and not quiver. The sheriff.
After breakfast Emma went inside to take her prenatal vitamins with a cup of water. Hearing her phone she picked it up not looking at the caller id.
"Hello"
"Hello. Sheriff?"
"Yes." Emma was a little worried. Did something happen with Henry? Was it her baby?
"This is Teri. Regina's secretary. I'm not really sure who to call,"
"Teri. I don't mean to sound ruse but please spit it out."
"OK. Regina collapsed and is lying on the floor in her office."
"WHAT? I'll be right there."
Emma hung up the phone grabbed her keys and was out the door before you could say hot tamale. Emma was a little upset at Regina at the moment, but if she was going to faint with news she didn't like then she mine as well stay home.
"Stupid feet." Emma must have tripped 15 times in the first two minutes. She was getting so frustrated that she couldn't move any faster that more tears were falling.
"Regina, I have cried over you and because of you more in the last 24 hours then I have my entire life." There was still a fifteen minute walk to the office and Emma didn't have time to wait that long. So she asked her daughter to be a good girl and poof her to her other mommy. Thankfully, she listened. She had somehow made her way to the office.
Looking around she saw Teri staring at her with her mouth open.
"Teri, please close your mouth."
"Ah, yes ma'am. Sorry. Mayor Mills is this way."
"Thank you dear." Emma smiled and wondered why she said dear. Oh well, she didn't want to think about it too hard.
When Emma got into the office she immediately ran to her side. Looking at Regina's pale face fresh tears came.
Picking up Regina's head Emma carefully pulled her into her lap. Cupping her cheeks Emma started speaking.
"Regina? Regina you got to wake up. Henry needs you. Our daughter needs you. I need you." She whispered the last part. It wasn't until know that she has loved Regina for a while, but it was covered up with all of the bickering they did. Emma pulled Regina into a hug and started sobbing uncontrollably.
Teri, sensing that she was intruding, left at that point.
Thankfully it didn't take long for Regina to wake. Enjoying the warmth Regina wrapped her arms around Emma. She didn't want to let go and when Emma started to retreat she hugged her tighter.
"Please, just a little while longer." Regina had never felt so protected ever. Within the last year Henry's hugs were more of a pat on the back and it broke her heart. Right now, in this moment, she wasn't about to let go on a genuine hug.
Emma demanded that Regina take the rest of the day off. For some reason Regina didn't want to protest so she agreed. The ride home was silent, but not awkward. They were both just happy in each other's presence.
In the house Emma immediately grabbed Regina by the shoulders, slammed her into the door, and kissed her. Hard. A full, deep, tongue wrestling, weak to the knees kiss. She had been so scared seeing Regina on the floor and the only way to make sure Regina was truly ok was a kiss.
Pulling away Regina fell to the floor. "Wow." It was all Regina could say. Regina looked up, grabbed Emma's arm, and yanked her down to sit on her lap. The millisecond Emma made contact it was Regina's turn to dominate a kiss. After a good five minutes of tonsil hockey they pulled away. Both were panting at this point and their lips were as red as an apple.
After Emma caught her breathe she spoke. "Why did you faint this time?" She tried to make a joke, but she couldn't help but remember.
"Hey it's ok." She pecked Emma on the lips and continued. "Have you noticed something different between us?"
"You mean besides the kissing, and the crying, and the baby."
"Yes, yes, and yes. Anything else?"
"No not really."
"I fainted because for some reason our personalities are swapped."
"I'm not following."
"We are both acting like each other. Sometimes I act like you and sometimes you act like me. I'm not really sure why, but it would explain you yelling at your mother."
"And you wanting to unfreeze her." Emma smiled.
"Yes, well I think we need to talk to Snow again and see what her wish was."
"You're right. But not now. You make a great chair and I'm comfy."
Regina laughed and seeing the genuine happiness in her face Emma's heart skipped a beat.
"Emma, why were you upset this morning?"
"Oh that." Emma brought her hands to her lap and stared at them. "This morning you thought I was Daniel."
"What do I d-." Emma caught her off
"Then why did you almost say his name when I asked?"
"Sorry. I knew I was with you but I was still sleepy and I had a dream about Daniel."
"What was the dream about?" Emma didn't really believe Regina. It was too much of a coincidence
Regina blushed. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Alright fine." Emma started to get up but Regina pulled her back down.
"Where are you going?"
"If you not going to tell me then I have no reason to sit here?"
Emma tried getting up again, but Regina hugged her like a life raft. "He was telling me goodbye and to love again."
Emma cupped Regina's cheek. "Why wouldn't you want to tell me that?"
"I'm scared."
Emma was shocked. Of all things the tough Regina Mills was scared. "Why?"
Regina put her forehead on Emma's arm and mumbled. "You'll br m h t."
"Sorry what?"
"You'll break my heart." Regina shouted and when back to burying her face.
Emma was so happy. "I won't if you don't break mine."
Regina looked up into Emma's eyes and saw nothing but love as they both started crying happy tears.
Snow didn't know what to expect when she had a voice mail from Emma on her phone asking her to come by the house. Ringing the doorbell she didn't expect to see a laughing Emma.
"Hi come in."
Snow step over the thresh hold timidly. When nothing happened she followed Emma outside. When she got to the sliding glass door Emma and Regina were talking. Taking a few deep breathes Snow walked over to her daughter.
"I assume we're going to talk about my wish?"
"Yes."
"At this point we just want to know what the wish was. Henry says it wasn't to have me pregnant. So, what was the wish?"
"I wished for me and Regina to get along. Seeing as we're going to be sharing Henry I thought it would be much easier if we could at least have a conversation without an argument. I don't know why that wish made you pregnant."
Emma and Regina looked at each other like they were having and internal conversation with each other.
Emma turned to Snow confused. "You're right. The star could have just made you guys forgive each other or one of you guys mute or something." Regina chuckled.
"Wait. Are you sure that was your wish?" Regina asked
"Positive. Why?" Snow said slowly
"That doesn't explain why Henry went to the hospital." Regina said to Emma
"What does Henry going to the hospital have to do with my wish?" Snow was extremely confused. She put her hands to her head to try and stop the on-coming headache.
"When we told Henry that he was going to have a little sister,"
Snow caught Emma off. "I'm going to have a granddaughter. Aww." Snow gleamed
"Mom, pay attention. Anyway, we also told Henry that we were going to find out the 'father' in a few hours. Next thing you know he rushes out the door. It was Dr. Whale who told us that he was the one to drop of Regina's DNA."
Sensing something was off all three yelled Henry's name.
Henry came down stairs and when he saw all of the faces glaring at him he tried to back away. That didn't work because a Regina look crossed Emma's face and he knew what it was about. He sighed, dropped his head, and walked over to where they were all sitting.
Regina spoke. "I assume you know why you called you here." It was more of a statement than a question
"Yes."
"So would you like to tell us why you really went to the hospital?"
"It appears that grandma and my wish was said at the same time."
"What do you mean?" Emma asked
"Both of our wishes were granted. Her wish made you guys act all funny."
Emma got what he meant. "Ahh, so that's why I suddenly have control over my magic and have Regina's anger."
"Hey." Regina shouted to Emma
Emma just smirked and patted Regina's leg under the table.
Snow was the next one to talk. "So Henry you wanted Emma to be pregnant with Regina's child."
Henry didn't say anything. So Regina asked the next question. "Henry hat was your wish?"
Another sigh. "I wished for my two moms' to be eternally bound together." Towards the end Henry crossed his arms and said the statement like he was determined to prove that his wish was better for everyone.
"E-eternally b-bound." Snow stuttered. She wanted to get along with Regina but knowing that she would forever more be connected to Emma made her head explode. "I need to go." And she left. She need time to process all of this.
At the dinner Emma was picking up dinner. She was waiting at the counter when Ruby approached her.
"So I guess the rumors are true then. You're pregnant."
"Yes I am." Emma smiled and unconsciously rubbed her belly.
"So, it is Regina's then."
"Yes and I don't feel like arguing right now so please keep your comments to yourself."
"Noted." Ruby moved her face closer and whispered into Emma's ear. "Did I ever tell you that I find pregnant women sexy and you pregnant just makes irresistible.
Emma didn't know what was up with Ruby. Sure, they flirted but that was just for fun. This was just weird. Sensing eyes she turned around to see Regina glaring at Ruby. Evidently she saw the whole think.
"Crap." Emma thought to herself.
So not really any yelling like it thought it would, but I like it overall.
