Here I'm with a new chapter! I know it isn't so long, but I prefer to let the next scene to another chapter. I still don't know how many chapters it will still have, but I think it will be not too much. Maybe more 3 or 4... Anyway, enjoy it and let me some reviews so I can know what do you think about it.
A/N: my beta Miriane Graciano corrected the grammar mistakes for me. I know that english it's not my native language so I screw up sometimes while writing, but I'm trying and I hope to be better on it. I'm sorry if the characters looks like out of the character... Anyway if you have any ideas to help me, just send me a pm.
It was already night out there. Emma should end her work for the day but she was still working on Mr. Gold's pound shop. She took off her jacket and went to clean the counter when the telephone rang. Mr. Gold answered the phone with a concerned look. She waited to see if he needed her in someway. When he hang up, she asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh poor Regina. Henry is with a high fever and Regina took him to the hospital. She asked me to cancel some of her meetings tomorrow." He looked very concerned.
"In the hospital? I need to go there. I need to see if he's okay." She soon collected all her things.
"Regina may not like to see you there…" he pointed out.
"Screw her! I don't care. He's my soon too." She gazed his eyes for a second, they went out of the store.
Alone again, he smiled. Regina didn't call him.
Emma entered her yellow car and it didn't work at first. She cursed and tried again. Then it worked. She drove for a while until she saw the white building of the Storybrooke Hospital. She knew Henry was a strong boy, so it was weird that he was sick enough to be taken to the hospital.
She ran up to the reception, where a young nurse took some notes and used the computer.
"I need to see the Mayor's son, Henry." She said quickly.
"Sorry, but I think I can't give you that information. Are you related to him?" the nurse asked calmly.
"I'm his mother." The nurse gave her a weird look, Emma completed. "I mean, his birth mother."
The nurse looked at her papers, and then looked to Emma again, still wondering if she should or not give the stranger the patient's information, but before she could say anything, they heard a rough voice in the hallway.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Emma turned on her boots to see a mad Regina coming towards her. She decided to face the angry Mayor.
"I heard Henry is here, and I want to see him."
"You had been away his whole life. Why do you care now? Besides, you're not his mother. I am." she was very close to Emma.
The blond gazed those dark eyes. She could see something there, something more than hate or anger. Emma had some superpowers, how she had said to Henry.
"You're his mother, and I gave him birth. But now, that I know him, I love him. I need to know if everything is okay." She was sincere on her words.
Regina didn't answer for a while. She studied the blonde, looking into her blue eyes, trying to figure out why she was still there. Why? And Regina was jealous. Jealous of that love she guessed she could not feel. Or at least, no one could feel it for her. Emma was right. No one could ever love her. Even her own son.
"Don't you think you have ruined enough lives?" she asked with a cold tone again.
"Ladies, please!" said the doctor approaching them.
They apologetic looked at him.
"Don't fight here, it's a hospital. And I'm pretty sure Henry doesn't want to see his two mothers fighting." The doctor said with a censoring look.
Regina looked at him with warning in her eyes, but he just nodded his head. Of course he was afraid of her threats, but he was still right. She closed her eyes for a minute.
"Get the hell out of here." She opened her eyes just to find determination in that blue iris.
"No. I'm staying." Emma didn't regret a single word.
"Fine." Regina said still very angry. She turned on her heels returning to Henry's room.
Emma sat in a chair in the waiting room and took a deep breath. She was very worried about Henry, and about Regina thought. She could see something resembling sadness in those dark eyes. She saw regret. For something she could never understand. She passed her long fingers through her curly blonde hair. Now she was just going to wait.
Meanwhile, inside Henry's room, Regina was talking to the doctor.
"So, how is he?" she tried to look calm.
"We gave him some medication and I examined him. He's stable now and the fever is coming down."
"That's good. Do you already know what happened to him?" she swallowed.
"It looks like an infection. He probably ate something that wasn't good for his stomach." The doctor pointed out while looking at Henry's chart.
"Thank you. When I'll be able to get him home?"
"Let's wait some hours and see if he gets better. He's sleeping now. Then if the fever doesn't get high again, we can release him from the hospital.
"Thank you." She said while the doctor disappeared into the hallway.
Regina approached Henry, putting her hand on his forehead. She smiled while kissing his cheek. She knew he hated her a lot, but she still loved him so much. She couldn't help being so careful with her kid. She hoped he was more lovely and nicer to her, at least for once. She wasn't so bad like he thought. And the most important thing: she loved him as much she loved her father or even more. It didn't matter he thought otherwise.
She went out of the room and stood on the hallway close to the waiting room. She saw Emma through the window. The blond had her head down on her hands, her cheeks almost touching her knees. For a moment, just a little moment, Regina regretted all the bad things she ever did. She looked to that strong woman and she wished she could be with her. For a little moment, she thought she could have her happy ending.
When she was back in the room, Henry woke up. He smiled when he saw his mom.
"Dear, how are you feeling?" she smiled approaching him.
"I'm okay." He smiled back. "Where's Emma?"
The smile on her face almost faded away.
"She's in the waiting room."
"Please, mom. Let me see her?"
She could not deny this wish for him. After all she didn't want him sneaking out of her house on a cold day just to meet Emma, so she just nodded and went out of the room.
"You can go to see him."
Emma left her head with a glow on her eyes.
"Thanks." She smiled unsure about why Regina was being so nice.
She got up and passed Regina by, entering the room.
"Hey kid!" she smiled when she saw Henry.
"Emma! Thanks for staying." He had that same glow on his eyes.
"I'll always stay here for you." She replied holding his little hand.
Regina watched everything by the door. A side of her was jealous of the love between them, but her other side melted a little by the scene. She was not that cold as everyone thought. She just didn't like to show her soft side, because it could be used as a weapon against her. Wondering about what she could get from the situation, the words just slipped of her lips.
"Would you want to have dinner with us?"
Emma looked surprised by the offer, and was very cautions when she asked.
"Why are you asking it?"
"You look very concerned about Henry, and I'm sure he would want to be with you a while longer. I don't want him sneaking out to see you, because with this weather he could get a cold."
Emma was already going to accept the offer, so she nodded.
"Of course I'd want to." She smiled turning her head to see a happy Henry smiling.
