Peter sprinted towards me.
"Oh Aqua, I've missed you." Peter said. To my surprise, he looked as if he were fighting tears.
"I've missed you too." I replied. To my surprise, I wasn't weak anymore, but I did look scrawny and weak.
Peter was quick to observe my state of health.
I was so scrawny; I was only about ninety pounds now. My collarbone was easily seen, and I was extremely pale. My eyes had lost their usual sparkle, and I had bags under my eyes from the sleep deprivation I was enduring.
He gasped, and to my surprise, a lone tear streaked down his face.
"What the hell have they done to you?" His heartbroken voice caused my heart to break and tears to stream down my face.
"They didn't do anything to me. I… I did this to myself. I fell into depression. I don't eat, and nightmares keep me awake at night, draining all my strength. I'm weak." I replied, looking down ashamedly.
"No." Peter said, lifting my chin to look into his eyes. "The only reason you are depressed is because they took you away. You aren't weak either. You're the strongest person I know." Peter said, kissing me.
"Aqua, please don't be depressed anymore, for me. I don't want you to die; I wouldn't be able to live without you." Peter said, running his hands through my hair in a comforting manner.
"You can come to Neverland in your dreams. I told you, you're special. Now we can see each other. Please don't give up. I'll find a way to come for you, no matter how long it takes." He whispered, kissing me softly.
I smiled up at him. "I promise, I won't give up." I whispered.
I gasped, my body began disappearing.
"You're waking up. I'll see you in your dreams." Peter said, smiling down at me.
"I love you." I whispered; suddenly back in Regina's house.
"Aqua, wake up." Regina said, staring down at me.
"I'm up." I said, sitting up with her help.
"I have breakfast." Regina said, attempting to get me to eat, despite how hopeless she thought it was.
"Breakfast sounds lovely." I said, smiling up at her.
Her face showed shock, but eventually her face slid into a wide grin. She helped me up and brought me downstairs, where we were eating and she was filling me in on what was happening around town.
She was supplying me endlessly with a variety of food, which I was grateful for. But sadly, I felt the nausea hit me again.
I sprinted towards the bathroom, proceeding to retch into the toilet again. This wasn't nearly as bad as the other times, since I didn't have an empty stomach. Eventually, it subsided, and I was able to get up.
"Why won't this stop already?" I said, gasping as I realized I hadn't internalized it like I had intended.
"Wait, again? Aqua, how long has this been happening." Regina asked, shocked.
"A couple weeks, why?" I asked.
"You could be really sick. Okay, I'm taking you to the doctors." Regina said, her words final.
Clara's POV
I was alone in the forest, two magic beans in my possession. I knew what I was doing. I would meet him, and then leave.
"Let's do this." I whispered, an evil glint in my eye. I threw one of the beans down, imagining where I wanted to go.
I jumped through the portal, using magic to soften the harsh landing.
I looked at the all too familiar forest before I began walking. I used my magic to locate him. Thankfully he was alone.
I eventually reached him, hiding in the shadows.
He heard me rustling, shouting out "Who's there?"
I stepped out of the shadows, looking him dead in the eye.
"Felix, is it?" I asked, surprisingly timid.
"Yes. Clara, right." He asked, glaring. He clearly had known about what I'd done.
"Yes. You knew my mother, Eris." I said.
His face changed instantly, recognizing the name.
"What about her." He asked, unfazed about me being her daughter. Eris grew up; it wasn't surprising she'd start a family.
"She told me something. She said that when she was banished from Neverland, she…she was pregnant." I stated, Felix's face contorting into one of shock.
"She was?" He asked, gulping.
"Yes. She had a daughter." I said, looking up.
"You… You're my…" He stuttered.
"Yes. Hello papa." I said, smiling at him.
"But… But she was banished forty five years ago." He said.
"When I was seven, Aqua six, we were sucked into a portal that took us to the human world. We lived there for ten years. But, we were drawn to StoryBrooke, just after Regina's curse. Since we were born in the Enchanted Forest, we couldn't leave for twenty eight years. We didn't age, that's how we're so young." I replied, looking at him.
"I have to go." I said, turning to leave.
"Wait, but…" He stuttered, unable to finish. I had frozen him in place.
"I can't have you follow me, I'm sorry. Maybe one day, we'll meet again." I said, kissing his cheek before walking a good distance away, throwing the bean down, and stepping into the portal. The second the portal closed, the spell was broken.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to no one in the StoryBrooke forest. I looked up at the sky, tears streaming down my face.
'Maybe one day, we'll be together again.' I thought, a small smile appearing on my face.
Aqua's POV
Regina drove me to the StoryBrooke hospital, and now we were waiting to be called in.
"Aquamarine Matthews." A nurse called.
I stood up, Regina following suite. Regina wasn't going to let me out of her sight; she was worried about me.
We followed the nurse back, who led us to a room labeled '3'. We stepped in, and I felt a tiny bit nauseous. I swallowed the feeling, knowing I was just a bit nervous; I had never liked the hospital. There was just too much misery. I hated when people were miserable; because I knew just how bad it felt.
The nurse left the room, leaving Regina and I by ourselves. Regina clutched my hands, sending me a reassuring smile. She knew how I felt about hospitals.
Eventually, a doctor came in. He looked to be in his thirties, and had brown hair with brown eyes to match.
"I'm doctor Andrews. Now, Miss Mills, you've already faxed over the information, so I believe all we have to do is take a blood sample to see what the issue is." He said with a smile.
My stomach dropped. But thankfully, I didn't pass out. Doctor Andrews took the blood sample, and left. Thankfully, it was quick and easy.
We waited for about ten minutes, Regina and I just chatting. To her relief, I was becoming healthier and stronger, a little color coming back into my normally pale cheeks; the sparkle shining in my emerald green eyes again.
Eventually, the doctor came back in, holding a clipboard.
"Well, I figured out why she's been sick." The doctor said cheerfully. How someone could be that happy constantly, I'd never know.
"Well, what is it?" Regina demanded.
"Well, her nausea was for a totally different reason from depression." The doctor said. "Aqua is pregnant."
The whole world seemed to stop, yet spin incredibly fast. I saw Regina's shocked face; she didn't know what to say.
I tried calming down, and luckily, the room stopped spinning.
"O- okay." I said, gulping. "Thank you, doctor." I said as Regina and I walked out to her car.
The ride home was dead silent, neither one of us knowing what to say to the other.
Eventually, we made it to her mansion, walking inside.
"Go rest Aqua, you need it." Regina said, breaking the silence.
"Okay." I replied, eyes downcast.
I trudged up to my room, lying down in bed.
'Oh god, how is Peter going to react?' I questioned internally.
I was so worried; I barely noticed my eyelids drooping. Eventually I found myself in a deep slumber.
I found myself in Neverland again, surprisingly I was at camp.
I was standing next to Peter, who was sitting on a log.
He looked up, his eyes brightening at the sight of me.
"Aqua." He said, smiling.
He proceeded to kiss me.
"Wait." I said, causing him to stop and look down at me curiously.
"What." Peter asked. He was confused as to why I wanted him to stop.
"I have something important to tell you." I said grasping his hands as I led the both of us to sit on the log.
"I don't exactly know how to say this." I said taking a deep breath.
"Peter, I'm pregnant." I said, looking into his widened eyes.
Seconds felt like hours, and Peter still hadn't said anything.
A lone tear fell down my face; my secret fears coming true.
I suspected he wouldn't want the responsibility, so he would leave me and never look back.
But, to my surprise, he hugged me.
"We… we're going to be parents." He said.
"Yes." I said.
"That's great!" He said. It seemed out of character. He was a boy who never wanted responsibilities. Something wasn't adding up in my head.
"Great? You should be angry, or upset! Anything! You never wanted to grow up! A child would be a hindrance. A child can't have a child." I said, tears running down my face.
"You're right. A child would be a hindrance. But Aqua, I love you. And I'm so happy that you're the mother of my child. This just proves that we love each other." He said, taking my face in his hands as we kissed.
"Aren't you terrified? I mumbled.
"More or less. But the great Peter Pan doesn't feel fear." He whispered smirking.
I laughed a little; glad he was acting like his cocky self for once. He proceeded to kiss me again.
It started slow, but eventually, we became tangled in each other. I was so glad he wasn't going to leave me.
We pulled away, and my body began to disappear again.
"I'm waking up." I said solemnly.
"Until next time, my Queen." Peter said, kissing my hand.
"Until next time." I replied. My whole world turned dark, and I woke up.
I woke up to see Henry hovering over me.
"What?" I asked, glaring. I was still extremely pissed.
"Well, that's no way to talk to the father of your child." He said, smirking.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I questioned.
"You will tell everyone that I'm the father." He glared down at me.
"And why the hell would I do that?" I questioned.
Henry drew a blade, pinning me to the bed.
"Because." He said, dragging the knife lightly across my too flat stomach. "If you don't, I'll kill your child, make you watch as I rip Pan's heart and crush it, and torture you to death." He said, smirking.
My eyes went wide.
"Please, don't hurt them." I croaked out. I was desperate; he couldn't hurt them.
"I won't. As long as you do what I ask." Henry said, putting the knife back into its rightful spot.
He suddenly ran his hand up my side, getting way to close to my chest.
"No please." I whimpered.
"Sorry, not your call to make." He hissed.
Thankfully, I heard someone coming up the steps.
"Dammit." He hissed, pulling away from me.
"Wipe your eyes and stop your sniveling. They'll find out. And if they do, I will hurt them." He glared.
I nodded my head rapidly.
"Good." He said, an angelic smile on his face.
I cleaned myself up, looking somewhat decent.
Regina walked in. I had never been so grateful for the woman in my life.
"Henry, Emma's here to pick you up." Regina said.
"Okay. Bye Aqua." Henry said. He appeared to just be friendly, but I saw an underlying darkness in his facial features.
He left, and Regina took his place on my bed.
"So, what did you two talk about?" Regina asked.
"Regina, I need to tell you something." I said.
"What is it Aqua?" Regina asked, instantly looking concerned.
"Henry… Henry is the father of my child." I said, holding tears back as my heart broke into a million pieces.
Henry's POV
I was in the middle of the forest.
"So, mission complete?" A voice asked.
"She agreed." I said, looking at the figure hiding in the shadows.
"This is wrong." I said. I hated hurting Aqua. I wished it didn't have to come to this.
"But you'll do as I say. After all, you want your heart back, don't you?" the person asked.
I could see the golden glowing heart, cutting through the shadows.
"You made me almost rape her." I said, glaring.
"I have the control here, but that, that was all you." The person in the shadows hissed.
"Goodbye Henry, until next time your services are needed." The person said, before vanishing.
I turned and walked back into town, acting as if nothing had happened.
