Crimson Tattoos

Chapter 9

Disclaimers::: I do not own OUAT or its characters, just my imagination. Let's see what Emma has in mind… It's bound to be interesting lol

"Do tell us what you have in mind darling." Maleficent was very curious.

Emma chuckled. "More tattoos. Using blood instead of ink." She suggested. "I may have to give Henry a tiny one too just to protect him. I would make sure its where others will not see it. We might need to do some bloodletting and then add our magic to it before we each have crimson tattoos representing our bond as family." She looked at her wife. "It's safe. I will not do anything to harm our children."

Maleficent nodded in agreement. "That would work. We would be aware of what's going on with each of us so whenever one of us is being threatened, we would be able to channel our powers together no matter wherever we go. That may be the only way we can leave this town and not be affected by other forces of magics being used against us."

Regina added. "Bound in a way that Rumple would not expect. He wouldn't be able to do anything to harm us without serious consequences. If you go, we will be with you no matter what. Let's do this baby." She kissed Emma.

"I still don't want you to go by yourself with him. Can't any of us go with you even with the tattoos?" Lily wanted to know. She just got her sister back and didn't want her to be involved with someone like Rumplestiltskin. She had a very bad feeling about the whole thing.

Emma looked at her sister and took a hold of her hand. "What I have in mind will essentially make sure you all will be with me without Rumple knowing about it. He can't touch me. He can't touch any of you. I will call him in the morning and see what he has to say before I can try to make other arrangements. After I find his son, and we get back… Believe me, he will be dealt with. We will also deal with the charmings and whoever else objects…" Emma smirked knowingly.

Lily grinned darkly. "I'm in sis, all the way. Let's do it tonight." She was amped up and wanted to do this before her sister would leave with Rumple. She wanted to make sure they had all of their bases covered.

Maleficent chuckled. "It's a good thing we will do this…"

Regina smiled sensually at her wife. "We'll use my vault. I have everything we need there for spellcasting."

Soon everyone was at the vault and Maleficent and Regina had mixed potions with some additional ideas to the spell that Emma gave, they came up with the perfect creation to use. After the potion was ready, Maleficent cut the palm of her hand, allowing her blood to drip freely into the mixture. Regina did the same thing, adding her own blood as she watched Emma's face. She then beckoned to Emma. "It's your turn baby." She murmured.

Emma smiled as she allowed Regina to cut her palm. She kissed her wife as her blood dripped thickly into the potion. Henry was next. He moved to stand between his parents, allowing his brunette mother to cut his palm. He added his blood before Regina handed the dagger to Emma who in turn looked at Lily. "Come on sis." She smiled as her sister joined them. She cut her palm and looked over at Ingrid who was standing away from them, watching. Emma smiled. "You too. We're not leaving you behind. I want you to be a part of this too."

"But you're a family. I can't get in the way of that." Ingrid smiled.

Emma chuckled. "I think it's too late for that. My mother probably would agree." She shared a smile with Mal before looking back at Ingrid. "You said you wanted to adopt me a long time ago. Think of this as a way of sharing our blood. This is truly powerful stuff. You won't want to miss out on this one. We already consider you a part of our family."

Maleficent nodded and smiled at Ingrid. "You did tell me about how you knew about my daughter before you met her and became her foster mother. You told me Rumplestiltskin had plans for her. So think of this as a way to stick it to him." She chuckled knowingly.

"Alright." Ingrid smiled as she moved to the boiling potion and allowed Emma to cut her palm as she added her blood to the mixture as they finished working their magic. Ingrid felt very touched to be a part of this. It touched her deeply.

Maleficent smiled when the potion cooled off a bit and they could see it was red as the blood they added. It was crimson in color. "It's ready darlings. Emma?"

Emma smiled as she took out a very ancient tattoo tool kit that was used in ancient Thailand, that she had in her collection. It was sterilized and prepared for this procedure.

"Let me go first Em-ma." Regina purred as she sat down. She put her hand palm faced up in place as she looked at her wife. "You know what I want."

Emma chuckled as she dipped her tool into the potion. "Oh I do." They had talked about this before so she knew what Regina wanted and proceeded to tattoo her. She knew this procedure would be more painful than the other one she used. Regina didn't care. She loved it even more because this was going to be very special and very worth it. And for her, it was enjoyable because Emma was giving it to her. It was a crimson dragon wearing a crown and holding a heart in her hand. It was so perfect for Regina in more ways than one. "There you go." Emma kissed her deeply. "I will show you more later tonight when we are alone." She promised with a dark smile on her face.

Henry sat down next. "I'm ready." He was being very brave. Emma smiled. "Just remember, this tattoo will be a part of you forever and it will be very special." She said to her son and dipped the tool into the portion and began as Regina held his hand, giving him strength as Emma drew a enchanted crimson pen that had a crown engraved on it and a crimson swan feather forming an 'X' on it. Henry was surprised at the tattoo his mother gave him. He wondered what it meant but he knew it connected him to his parents even more. He would find out later what it meant.

Lily was the next to go. She was excited to finally have her sister actually physically give her a tattoo. Emma gave her a tattoo of the two of them as crimson dragons entwined together, holding their mother's scepter between them with their mother's eyes watching them in the background. She was so impressed with this tattoo. She adored it and moved to show Maleficent who grinned appreciatively.

"That is perfect darling. I love it." Mal hugged Lily tightly and kissed her head. She then sat down for her turn again with Emma. Emma grinned as she began giving her mother a beautiful tattoo representing everyone. It was a crimson dragon with her two daughters and the tattoo of Emma as a dragon was wearing a crown holding the same pen Henry had on his arm in one hand and in the other hand, a bunch of gems, at her side was a sword forged with electricity and in her belt a dagger. Lily the dragon had the necklace she always wore, but cradled in the shell was a glowing orb. She had a sword forged in flames and she was holding a huge book in the crook of her other arm. Maleficent wore a necklace in the shape of a snowflake. Her scepter in one hand and in another holding a key. Behind her appeared to be a magical portal.

Maleficent looked at her new tattoo and had a feeling this one was very special. "This is really amazing!" She kept studying it, wondering at the meaning behind this tattoo. She could figure out most of what it meant. But she was sure the others would become more clearer with time.

And then it was Ingrid's turn. Emma gave her a special one of her mother as a dragon, with her taloned hand on the shoulder of Ingrid who in turn held Emma as a dragon and Mal held Lily as a dragon. Emma had her hand on a crown while Lily had her hand on a book.

It was then Emma's turn. She took her arm and engraved into her arm everything that represented everyone and then some. And then she dipped her arm in the remainder of the portion allowing it to be absorbed into her arm. She incited the closing spell and all their tattoos glowed crimson and red. They could feel the magic tying them all together and strengthening within them, protecting them and becoming a part of them so deep inside.

Maleficent closed her eyes and sighed deeply, feeling the rush of magic moving around them in a circle. Emma smiled and sighed deeply, holding Regina and Henry in her arms. "Watch this…" Emma caressed her new tattoo and suddenly all their tattoos glowed even stronger, sending a rush around again. They experimented with their magical tattoos, discovering that they could focus on each other and read minds from near and far of those they were thinking about. Emma moved to another room and thought of Regina. Her wife appeared next to her in an instant and Emma kissed her passionately. "Oh I could get used to this." Regina moaned.

Maleficent chuckled from the other room. "We can hear you two. Don't forget to close the mind link if you want to get intimate with each other."

Emma giggled as they went back to the other room. "Sorry mom."

Regina had a look of mischief as she chuckled. "Well then don't eavesdrop. Or you'll be getting an eyeful." She smirked. "Henry, we will have to tighten some screws with your magic because I will not have my son watching porn."

Emma chuckled knowingly when she saw their son blushing like crazy. Maleficent nodded. "I can take care of that. This magic will help us all." She then did a spell for Henry so he would not need to be privy to things he was not ready for. "That should do it." She nodded with satisfaction.

Lily grinned. "I love what we can do now. I can feel you all in me."

Emma snickered when she heard what her sister said. "You know what that sounded like?" She smirked, sharing a look with Regina.

Her wife chuckled. "I don't think she intended for that to sound dirty. But yeah, it does feel interesting. I'm sure we will figure out how to shut off the feelers at certain times when we need to. But otherwise, it could be interesting to see what else we can do."

Lily smacked Emma's arm. "Not like that sis! I can feel like we are as one magically. It's good for communicating telepathically or seeing what we are looking at when the time is right. It's like when you left the room, we were right there with you. Let me try this…" She grabbed Henry and pulled him to the other end of the room. She waited until Emma and Regina moved to the other side and Maleficent followed suit with Ingrid. Lily looked at her nephew. "Let me know what you sense when I do this…" Her eyes began to glow.

Henry gasped. "It's like I am experiencing what it looks like to see through the eyes of a dragon."

Right as Lily did this, so did Emma and Maleficent. Three of their eyes were glowing. Now Ingrid was going through the experience herself as was Regina.

Emma smiled at her wife as she held her closer. Regina was enjoying this moment they were sharing. It made her want to be in dragon form with Emma before letting her leave with Rumplestiltskin. Emma shared a knowing smile with Regina. "We can if that is what you want baby." She murmured.

Maleficent nodded."I think we are all done here. It's probably best if we go home." She looked at Ingrid. "I would like it if you joined me tonight." She smiled.

"I would like to join you tonight." Ingrid smiled as they left after saying goodnight to everyone.

Lily smiled at her sister and sister in law. "Good night you two. I'll take Henry home for you." She winked at them as they left.

Regina and Emma thanked Lily and then looked at each other. Emma kissed Regina. "So, you want some dragon loving tonight?" She caressed her wife's abdomen and inhaled deeply.

"I do, Emma." Regina purred. Emma chuckled knowingly as they left the vault and sealed it with blood magic before they left to the woods behind the vault. As soon as they reached the caverns, they moved inside, changing into dragons. Emma loved how Regina looked like a dragon. "You're so beautiful!" She growled with pleasure as they began making love. Emma mounted Regina first, thrusting into her passionately, mating with her, moving together as one, thrusting, rocking, grinding against her as they climbed higher and higher climaxing hard inside her in release. Emma panted heavily, and before she made the next move, Regina beat her to it as she allowed herself to shapeshift anatomically and thrust into Emma, wanting to give to her as good as Emma did earlier. She wanted to mate with Emma, not wanting to wait any longer. Both dragons were too far gone now to stop. Wanting this moment to last as long as possible, they gave in to their desires and their passion as they continued thrusting and grinding together until they climaxed hard together. Both dragons lay together, entwined and panting, feeling completely sated as they held onto each other. They fell asleep like this, with contented smiles on their faces.

The following morning, Emma and Regina poofed home and took a shower together, loving on each other as they cleaned up and got dressed. Regina and Emma were all smiles as they moved downstairs and cooked a huge breakfast. They were in a very good mood, hugging and kissing each other while cooking together. They made a fresh pot of coffee while cooking bacon and sausage, steak and eggs as well as pancakes and waffles and toast. Soon the others made their way downstairs, seeing the huge breakfast feast that had been made for them.

Maleficent looked at her daughter and Regina and could tell they had made love in dragon form. There was a certain scent to both of them that was very revealing to the dragons in the room. Mal had a knowing smile on her face. "Dragon loving last night. Hmm pretty productive night for the two of you." She winked and chuckled. Not elaborating on the subject further.

Lily grinned as she moved to stand next to her mother. She knew what was going on. It was too obvious. "Oh yeah, mama I see it too." She smirked.

Ingrid smiled at everyone. "Good morning! Everyone is in a good mood! This is a lot of food. Smells good too." She was oblivious to what was going on, especially since she wasn't a dragon.

Henry was the last to run down, having taken a shower. He saw all the food and looked at his parents. "Are we expecting more people this morning?" He asked as he dove right in and began eating his favorite chocolate chip pancakes.

Emma and Regina continued grinning as they snuggled. "No, it's just this family. Our family." Emma murmured as they finally sat down, she dug into the meats and eggs as Regina did the same. There were more than plenty for everyone to eat.

Ingrid smiled, getting some eggs and toast and bacon for herself along with some orange juice. "Is something going on?" She asked Maleficent.

The older dragon smiled as she ate her steak and eggs and some toast. "I'll tell you later." Her eyes twinkled.

Lily chuckled. "Mom, no need to be secretive. If Ingrid is going to be your girlfriend, she needs to understand the way of the dragon." She winked at the snow queen. "I mean… The cycle of the dragon." She looked at her sister, seeing the way Emma was looking at them with a smug smile.

Henry looked at his aunt, hearing what she was saying. "There's a cycle?"

Regina smiled at Emma before looking at their son. "Remember what I said to you about this?" She asked as she put her hand on her abdomen over the swell of a small baby bump. "This happened when we were both in dragon form. That was the same day we broke the curse. That was done during a dragon cycle. Mine. Even though I was not born a dragon, I have the ability to shapeshift. So when I shifted into a dragon, my body was in its cycle. You won't understand this until a few years. But last night, we got together again…"

Emma smiled, picking up. "It was something your mother wanted to do. I wanted it too and we did it in dragon form again last night. This time, it was during my cycle." She shared a look with Regina as they took a hold of each other.

Henry may not have understood yet the way the female body worked, but he understood enough of what his parents were implying. "So you're saying ma is…" He gestured at Emma before doing the same to Regina. "Like you too?"

"How do you feel about that kid?" Emma asked their son.

Henry shrugged but smiled. "I don't know how that works yet, but I'm happy for you guys. I think it's great!"

Ingrid finally understood what happened. "Wow… Again? That's amazing. Congratulations!" She beamed and then looked at Mal. It made her wonder a few things. But she knew they would talk more about this later.

After they finished eating and cleaning up the kitchen, Emma knew it was time for her to call Mr. Gold to hear what he had to say before they would make the arrangements needed to find his son. She dialed his number.

"Alright, Mr. Gold, I will help you find your son. Is there anything else you need before we go?" Emma asked.

Mr. Gold smiled. "I knew you would call me. I went ahead and made arrangements and ordered the flight tickets. One for you, one for me, and oh yes, your son, Henry."

Emma looked at Regina who was also listening to what the imp had to say. She shook her head and mouthed 'no' to Emma. But before Emma could say anything else, Mr. Gold continued. "If you don't, you can forget about me helping your wife."

Emma sighed, knowing it was going to be okay. "Fine. We will be there. Just tell me when and what time."

Regina's jaw dropped. But Emma squeezed her hand to calm her down.

Mr. Gold smiled. "We leave in two hours. Meet me at the shop." He hung up on her.

"Emma! How could you…" Regina started.

"Remember, with what we did yesterday, that imp cannot hurt me or Henry or any of us with these crimson tattoos. Henry will be fine, I promise. I will not let anything bad happen to him. Besides, you will be there with us. You will see, hear, feel everything we do as if you are there with us…"

"But what if I want to be there with you?" Regina didn't want to be without Emma or Henry.

Maleficent smiled knowingly. "I am sure we can do something about this. An invisibility spell that will last until the three of you arrive in this house together. Only Emma and Henry will see you. No one else, will that work for you Regina?"

"If it's safe for the babies, I want to do this." Regina agreed.

Emma smiled. She knew there was no way Regina was going to let Emma be alone with Rumple. And for a good reason.

Maleficent nodded. "Then we need to do this fast." She helped create the invisibility spell for Regina and once she was done, Emma and Henry finished packing and Emma added a few extra things just in case for her wife. Soon, they headed to the pawnshop where Mr. Gold waited for them with a taxi. Emma smiled, seeing and feeling Regina sitting in her lap while they headed to the airport. Rumple was nervous about taking off that old shawl that belonged to Baelfire that he used to spell so he could cross the line. He was afraid of what would happen once he took it off. But Emma promised to get it back to him quickly. Soon, he made it through the security checkpoint. Luckily, Regina was able to skip the line and get through without being detected. Soon, they were in the air and not long after, they landed without a hitch. Emma had never met anyone as tense as Mr. Gold before. But now, they were in New York. They found the building Baelfire lived in and Emma figured out which apartment belonged to him as obviously, Baelfire didn't want to be found. She pressed a button a few times before she heard someone trying to escape. Emma looked at Henry. "Stay with him!" She knew that Regina would watch them as she ran after her runner. She moved quickly, gaining on him easily and when she caught him, she tackled him to the ground. As soon as they took a look at each other, it turned to shock.

"Emma?" The man looked at her, not believing his eyes.

"You?!" Emma glared at him. "Neal?!"

From two or three blocks away, both Regina and Henry gasped when they saw through Emma's eyes who the man was.

Rumple looked at Henry who made a show to pretend he was coughing. "You okay there?"

Henry nodded. "I swallowed a fly."
