I am so sorry for the long delay guys, but I am in the middle of a test week and I think I might go crazy. But well, anyway, enjoy and please review!
"She's exhausted, but overall not critically injured. Anymore. Theoretically speaking she could go home."
"And that is exactly where I am going."
Regina came walking in from the corridor behind Whale, into the waiting room. Danielle jumped up, thrilled to see her mom up and alife.
"Regina, you can't be serious. You have just been stabbed in the back by, well, you know, her."
"I am very serious. I won't spend valuable time here when there is sommuch work to be done. Come sweetie, we're leaving."
Regina took Danielle by her hand, and walked out. Only Danielle turned around to look at them, one time just to stick out her tongue.
"Regina, wait,"
Belle came running after them. "You don't have a car, should I drive you home?" Regina nodded, and Belle took them home. Upon arriving Regina immediately got out of the car, thanking Belle for the ride, and took Danielle inside. Too tired to do anything but sleep, she layed down on the couch, forgetting about the eight-year old child who followed her. She suddenly felles a big pile of body on her, and Danielle moved over to Regina's neck to snuggle inside her hair. Regina wanted to put her into bed, but fell asleep so quick she couldn't even get something to eat first.
Danielle woke to the smell of pancakes and maple syrup. She move up, to see the source of this amazing fragrance, to find her mother baking pancakes.
"Pancakes?!"
"Ah, I knew you would wake up. When did my little food monster not refuse pancakes? Oh, that's right. Never."
Regina chuckled. Danielle looked very much like her, but when it came to food, she was just, well, you know, her. That might become a problem in the future, she often thought, as she had seen how much Henry ate when he got into puberty. Belle told her he was staying with Granny. Since Snow didn't have a lot of time to look after a young adult when she was in jail.
"So young lady, did you have a good night of sleep?"
"I did Mwom. Are you feeling bwetter now?" Danielle asked with a mouth full of pancakes.
"Yes dear, thanks to you I am feeling great. When the time comes you have to demonstrate that newfound talent of yours."
"It's really cool, I can basically heal any wound."
Regina doubted that, but at this age, she wouldn't want to explain the working of a heart to such a young innocent child. Then suddenly the bell rang. Regina got up to open the door.
People. Lots and lots of people, on her porch. Almost the half of Storybrooke was in front of her door. Grumpy, who rang the bell, started talking.
"What are we gonna do sister? We want to know what's gonna happen to Snow and Charming and how you're gonna fix this mess."
Regina always disliked the habit of the dwarf to call everyone sister, and wasn't going to let him think that was okay to do.
"First and foremost, you will address me as your majesty. Secondly, the trial of Snow White and Prince Charming will be held later this week. I will imply some new rules today, and inform people involved in these clearly about the new regulations."
She had prepared this speech for after the trial, but she found that now was the right time to give it. Then she realized she was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and changed into a new attire. It was a black leather pantsuit, with a lace skirt and her was half up and half down, hold together by a fine piece of jewelry. Then she felt someone tucking on her hand, and realized that she used magic without thinking about the consequences. Danielle hold her hand, a little frightened by the massive crowd. She too was wearing croaked clothes, and Regina changed her into a pretty purple dress, complete with tiara.
"If you will all excuse us, we have someone quite important to visit."
The crowd made a path for them to cross, and Regina went up front, Danielle following her. At first, the little princess held her head down, but looking at her Mother, holding her head high as she strode off the porch, Danielle copied her movements, and actually found it rather pleasant to look so powerful.
Upon reaching the car, they were neared by someone else. Belle came up to Regina.
"Regina, if you are going to be queen, you'll need a court. I'd be happy to join your court."
Regina was surprised the French girl wanted a job, since she had always assumed Belle was in charge of Gold's shop.
"Belle, I would be honoured if you would join my court. For your first duty, I need you to visit Kathryn and tell her something."
Regina whispered something to Belle, to the annoyance of Danielle, who was curious to what was being said. Belle nodded and went off, towards the city hall. Regina turned to Danielle, giving her a big smile.
"We are going to visit someone very important to you. Ready?"
Danielle nodded, excited to who they were going to visit. Someone previously green.
So yeah, excited yet? Sorry it wasn't too long, but I found it quite interesting. I can't promise when I'll upload next, but as soon as possible. Bye!
