Chapter Ten
"Merry Christmas, my little Prince!" Regina exclaimed. Henry's eyes were wide as she carried him into the family room where Emma was busy taking pictures of him. He was looking at all the presents.
"Are all these for me mommy, mama?" He asked. They smiled at him.
"No some is for our families that we bought them, and the rest is what Santa bought for all of us." He nodded as she put him down and he ran over to his new bike and was allowed to ride it around while they sorted out his presents into a pile.
"This is the best first Christmas with my family ever," Emma sighed happily as they watched him hurry back over. Regina smiled. She was over the moon happy, but still something was missing, however she refused to ruin their day, their family would grow when the time was right. Or get smaller.
'No, Regina stop it, she's here to stay this time,' Regina thought.
"Next year she'll be here with us," Emma whispered giving her a kiss on the cheek. Regina smiled at her and gave her a small hug before they took video of Henry opening all his presents. He loved his regifted comic books, his new storybook full of the stories Regina told him, and the model plane set he would build with Emma, and all the rest of his new toys so that Regina could get rid of some of the illusions. She had already gone in when he was sleeping and used magic to help repaint his room to the way he liked it, if he would be young again, she would give him the room he wanted.
"Sweetie what's wrong?" Regina asked as she was holding her hair up as Emma put a swan necklace around her neck, so she would always be with her. She had gotten herself a necklace as well with a little apple on it. Regina had given Emma two new flat screen TVs the larger one for the downstairs in their family room, and one for their bedroom that was in need of an update. Along with a boxed set of some of her favourite Saturday morning cartoons that had recently stopped rerunning in favour of the newer programs. She wanted Emma to watch it on the best quality she said. Plus, a voucher to get her bug, a new coat of yellow paint and actual ownership papers. She couldn't believe Emma had been driving around in a stolen yellow bug for years and never been caught. She couldn't have the Sheriff driving in a stolen yellow monstrosity.
"I try to do magic Mommy," He told her. He grunted as he frowned harder.
"Honey, we talked about this, sometimes even though others around us can do something, doesn't mean we can," Regina reminded him. She had tried to get him off the notion that he would get magic from Santa, but he could not be swayed.
"Uh Regina did you buy a kayak?" Emma asked. Regina looked up at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh no, I didn't know how to hide that without you noticing so I didn't get it on your list," Regina told her. Emma gasped.
"He's real, it was on my letter I sent to Santa," Emma told her. Regina looked through the pile and found the new gardening tool set that had been the only thing on her list which Emma confirmed she did not buy. Henry however was still concentrated hard.
"Ugh Viveka said I could do it, why it no work!" Henry yelled.
"Whoa honey first calm down relax, you can't do magic so worked up, and secondly whose Viveka?"
"Viveka is my baby sister," Henry told her matter of fact. Emma and Regina both looked at one another.
"Honey, do you mean Charlotte?" Emma asked pointing to the picture of Charlotte on the wall.
"No Mama, Charlotte can't talk to me no more, I mean Viveka," He said pointing to Regina. Regina was in absolute tears as a hand went to her stomach, if this was true than her real Christmas wish had been granted. Henry looked at Regina. "Mommy you should me how to do magic." Regina nodded just barely containing her tears.
"Hold out your hand and think of a ball of water," Regina told him. It was best she sort out his disappointment now so that if she confirmed a pregnancy she could be happy later. He did as she instructed and after twenty minutes nothing happened.
"I keep trying Mommy; Viveka says you take a long time too." It was a long day and Henry didn't mention Viveka again nor did Viveka talk to her or Emma, which was rather fine as they weren't ready to say anything to their family. Regina didn't even say a word to Maleficent and Lily who was apparently having the time of her life as a three-year-old for now. It wasn't until they were all gone and Henry was occupied still trying to do magic that Emma and Regina stood in the bathroom staring at a test. Just as the results were about to appear though, Regina felt her magic flare though not in her control. It surrounded and crushed the test.
"Regina, why did you do that?" Emma asked upset.
"I didn't, Viveka did," Regina answered as tears streamed down her face and she sank to the floor with a hand on her belly.
"Viveka is real?" Emma asked following her to the floor as she just nodded in response. They both hugged one another happily. After a moment Regina took Emma's hand and placed it over her belly.
"Gently reach out with your magic," Regina instructed. Emma did so as did Regina and they both felt her, she was just a tiny little light and yet she had used Regina's magic.
"I feel her," Emma whispered happily.
"I think Henry and her have a connection it feels old, because she used to be Charlotte that's why he feels her in some way she talks to him."
"How can she talk to him, she's literally less than twenty-four hours into the start of her life." Regina chuckled.
"I don't know like Charlotte she taps into me somehow. She knows and doesn't know things at the moment. She crushed the test to protect herself, no proof of her existence. The fairies can never know maybe we should just take Henry and go just until she's born happy and healthy."
"I'll do whatever needs to be done to protect her, just tell me when and we'll go," Emma told her. "No one is hurting her on my watch ever again." Regina nodded.
"Maybe closer to five months before I start showing, some place warm and near the beach, I think."
"Hmm yes that sounds wonderful," Emma thought. She didn't think of Florida though, no that had been the dream of another Emma, a broken Emma. No with Regina, she'd take her to Mexico, immerse herself in Spanish, go to the beach every day with her family. Visions of Regina wearing shorts and tang top as she sported a gorgeous baby bump and they walked hand in hand with Henry carrying a shovel. "We can go to Mexico."
"I was thinking more Cuba, they have vintage cars and I thought we could buy one, think of how classic nineteen fifties we could look," Regina grinned. Emma grinned back.
"Right you have to spend the next four months building us all the perfect wardrobe for our fantasy. Hell you know what you have two months, I don't want to miss any part of Spring in Cuba. We have so much sunshine to soak up." They smiled at one another as both their hands rested on Regina's belly when Henry came bursting in with wet hair.
"Mommy, Mama, I did it, I did it, I used magic!" Henry yelled.
"Really let me see?" Regina asked thinking his version of magic was dumping water on his head from the sink. Henry held out his hand and their eyes went wide as he created a ball of water from magic.
"Holy shit kid," Emma cried out.
"This makes no sense," Regina whispered. "Kids don't just suddenly do magic."
"Maybe he had it all along from me, and just never tried before," Emma thought out loud as Henry ran around happily.
"Perhaps, I mean my mother never had magic and turned out to be a natural and I also never showed any sign of magic until I was in my mid-teens. Still the way he was running around before he should have shown something before now."
"You know he never believed he could until now," Emma pointed out. "My magic didn't really come forth until I believed I could and once I believed there was no stopping it." Regina nodded.
"Henry come here a minute." Henry ran over happily and beamed at his mother as she pulled him into her lap. She smiled back at him.
"Henry now that you have magic like Mama and I you have to be very careful okay, we only want you to do magic when you're with me, Mama, or Aunty Maleficent okay. You can hurt yourself or someone else if you aren't careful. And you haven't learned a lot about magic like Aunty Male and I have."
"Hey," Emma pouted.
"Mama is also still learning just like you have too okay?" Henry nodded. "Good from now on you and Mama are going to have magic lessons together with me or sometimes with Aunty Male."
"Okay Mama, I be good and only use it with you, Mama, and Aunty Male." Regina nodded.
"Good, Papi, I only want you to stay safe and remember all magic comes with a price, and that could mean someone or yourself getting hurt. Magic isn't a toy from Santa, it's a gift so you can help others when you're all big and grown up." Henry nodded.
"I'm gonna be a hero like you and Mama!" he exclaimed.
"Exactly kid," Emma smiled their bliss was broken by the sound of Regina's phone ringing from the bedroom. Regina waved her hand and her phone appeared in her hand easily. She saw it was Robin calling from her caller ID. She pushed talk and put the phone to her ear.
"Hey Robin, is something wrong in the Forest?" Regina asked as Emma watch her. Regina had never been more beautiful except when she had been carrying Charlotte. Now with Viveka growing inside of her and Henry in her lap and one arm around him lovingly, she was gorgeous. She was shaken out of her thoughts of her beautiful family of Emma waving a hand in her face.
"You all right?" Regina asked her. Emma smiled at her.
"Yeah I'm sorry I just got lost in the beauty of my family." Regina couldn't help the smile on her face.
'She's here to stay Regina, she really might actually stay.' Regina mentally shook herself they had just had a great day, she was not going to ruin it with doubt.
"That's sweet, but this is our beautiful family." She hugged her, and Henry close who was all too eager to hug them back.
"Yes, it is, now is everything okay with Robin, I didn't hear, do I need to head out with David?" Emma asked. Regina shook her head.
"No, it's Roland, apparently he wished for Santa to bring back Marion," Regina told her as they all stood up off the bathroom floor and moved into the bedroom. Emma cringed so hard, she had remembered wishing to Santa so many times as a young girl for her parents, and the disappointment had ended her belief in him early until today. But she knew there were limits to Santa's power today, Roland however did not.
"Can you handle getting Henry to bed alone?" Emma nodded her head confidently.
"Yeah Henry and I will be just fine, maybe I think we'll even wait up for you a bit it is Christmas after all." Regina smiled at them both as Henry nodded his head. She gave them both a kiss.
"Okay, but don't sneak too many cookies when I'm gone, I don't want you to get a stomach-ache." Emma grinned at her over Henry's head silently asking her how did, she know she'd go for the cookies.
"We won't Mommy," Henry told her reassuringly. Regina straightened her clothes, she was dressed in a pair of black pants and grey shirt. They all headed downstairs and Regina grabbed her black leather jacket.
"Remember not too many cookies," Regina gave them both a big smile to which they returned two identical ones to her.
"Give Roland an extra hug for me." Regina nodded before she kissed them both and disappeared in a puff of smoke to just outside to the camp. She could see that they'd already begun clearing space to build cabins as suggested since most of them preferred the forest and Robin as their leader felt uncomfortable leaving them to live in town and join law enforcement.
"Regina!" Roland cried. He ran to her almost immediately. "Why didn't Santa bring my mommy?"
"Oh, Roland I'm so sorry that you lost your mommy twice, that's not something anyone should ever go through as much as you have, but unfortunately when someone dies. They don't come back and there is no magic in the world that can change that."
"But the time travel spell," Roland said.
"Yes, I suppose if you were to change the past that might stop someone from dying, but in my experience that just means death will come in another way. You see you can't cheat fate. If someone's life was meant to end than you cannot change that death will find a way. So even though Emma saved your mommy, you didn't account for Zelena or maybe traveling through time would have killed her or she could have contracted some illness from the Enchanted Forest we still can't treat here."
"But daddy healed mommy with magic, so I could be born," Roland pointed out.
"I know love, but when you try to change fate good or bad out comes it always hits back twice as hard to win. And there is no magic that can change that if someone is meant to die." Roland cried. "But fate also gives back sometime."
"It does?" Roland asked. Regina nodded.
"Sometimes you find just what you need in the person or people you least expect," Regina told her. "Now I may not be your mommy, but if you are ever in need of some love that Daddy can't really give you in that moment you're always welcome to come to me."
"Food too?" Roland asked.
"Especially food, we're family now, you are going to be the best big brother to my niece or nephew. I wouldn't dare not feed you ever." He smiled. She cuddled him some more and sang him to sleep and tucked him in properly in his opinion.
"I am a little hurt by his assessment of my tucking in skills," Robin laughed. Regina chuckled too.
"My skills are legendary what can I say, ask Henry," Regina teased.
"Thank you again, I don't know what I would have done without you." Regina nodded. They hugged briefly, and Regina waved her hand to return home, but it didn't work. Instead she just got nauseous. It would seem Viveka was already messing with her magic.
"Apparently, I'm warn out chasing after Henry today, did I text you that he developed magic."
"No, you didn't say when we were over, I can't believe it that must be hell at that age, I was already taking bets with Mulan of the first magical mishap from Neal, I guess we'll just move the bet to Henry." Regina and Robin laughed.
"I want in on that when Neal starts showing powers." He nodded.
"Come on I'll walk you back into town, Little John will look after Roland for me." Regina nodded, and they started off towards town after letting little John know.
"Mama can I have one last cookie please?" Henry begged Emma.
"Henry we've had ten already each, your mother is going to kill us if we eat them all, we promised not to over indulge too much, and we're pass that."
"What's over ing..goldge?" Henry asked.
"Indulge, it means that we've had too many cookies and mommy is going to yell at Mama." Henry nodded from his place on the couch next to Emma wearing his monkey onesie with plane slippers on. It was the cutest thing Emma had ever seen especially with the tail and God did it convince her to give him everything.
"But Mama it's the last one, she gonna yell anyway." Emma blushed as she looked at the bowl and saw it was indeed the last one.
"Well in that case we had better leave it for mommy, sometimes she yells at me for not at least leaving her one to make it all better, we did this." Henry giggled.
"Like her Red vines?" He asked. Emma laughed as well.
"Yeah exactly like that kid, but not as bad because she knows we love the cookies more." Henry nodded.
'Well at least she'll be proud I got the kid bathed and dressed, with no mess for once,' Emma thought.
"How about some warm milk with honey instead, I think mommy will be back any second to read your bed time story with us." Henry nodded. He bounced to the kitchen with Emma smiling after him.
"God I hate Hook, but I can't even ever trade this for the world, I wouldn't even stop him if I went back in time," Emma muttered to herself. She was managing to make warm milk and honey in the microwave not trusting herself to burn it on the stove with her phone rang. She saw it was David and she had a missed call from Belle. She'd left it on the counter earlier.
"Emma finally we got you, I didn't know Regina's home phone or if she even has one…does she have one?" David asked.
"Yes, she does, and I think she keeps the number private on purpose, anyway what's up?" Emma asked. "I was hoping it would be a quiet Christmas night."
"Well unfortunately Gold woke up snuck out of the hospital, even broke out stupid Hook to help him." Emma rolled her eyes hard. "Now Belle needs help."
"Damn it, uh I'll be right there, Regina stepped out for a bit so it's just Henry and I…"
"Uh…Mama," Henry said yanking hard on Emma's white sweater. She turned towards the microwave where he was pointing and there was currently a small fire. Her eyes went wide.
"Holy shit, I'll call you back in a second!" Emma hung up the phone, pulled Henry away before racing for the fire extinguisher. Soon the flames were out, and she just stared at the destroyed mug in disbelief.
"Regina will never believe me," Emma muttered. She called Regina to see where she was at.
"Yeah I'm a little worn out with magic today, so I have to walk back, we're almost into town, and I'll head home with Henry, hopefully Gold only needs to head back to the hospital," Regina replied.
"Oh, Good Robin's coming, I feel like this is an all hands-on deck situation. See you in town." Emma hung up and looked at Henry.
"All right new plan, we gotta go into town and meet mommy, come on let's go get your jacket on, and you keep your little hood on, okay?" Henry nodded as she lifted his little hood which had a monkey's face on it. Emma almost melted at the cuteness of it all. She made sure nothing else could burn, before they headed to the front door. She dressed Henry in his jacket that Regina had shrunk and scarf. She decided that real shoes were unnecessary but thick socks were put on and then back in his house shoes before she carried him out to the bug. She let him sit up front as that was half the fun with taking unexpected night time trips though she hoped Regina didn't see that. It was a quick, but careful drive over to Gold's pawn shop. She parked down the street though and looked around for Regina.
"I guess mommy's not here yet," Emma commented as she looked around. She started to turn away from the shop and head to her mother's apartment to drop Henry off there with her and baby Neal.
"Emma!" David exclaimed. "Get in here now!" Emma frowned and came in. She was surprised to see Gold on the floor passed out by the box that contained the apprentice's hat.
"What the hell happened, what's going on?" Emma asked.
"He tried to use the hat to untether himself to the darkness love and he failed. He said if I helped I could probably watch him die, love," Hook told her. Emma rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't call me love," Emma muttered. She looked at the apprentice.
"What now, Regina said it wouldn't be good if he died, she said the darkness would just continue to use his body."
"Can you help him?" Belle asked concerned.
"Yes, I think I can," He said. "But we don't have much time."
"Wait, wait, Henry you go into the backroom and don't come out until we call you, Regina would fucking kill me if something happened now because you couldn't wait for me to drop him at mom's." Emma glared at her father and he looked apologetic just as Mary Margaret came in.
"Neal is fine with Granny," She told David. Emma rolled her eyes.
"Did you see Regina?" Emma asked hopeful. Mary Margaret shook her head, but she did take Henry and move off to the side, they still had a good view of everything though.
"What are you going to do use the hat as well to untether him?" Emma asked.
"This is not unlike that, we're pulling the darkness from him and containing it," the apprentice told them.
"Does that mean his heart will be healed?" Belle asked ever hopeful.
"Perhaps, if the strength is there, this is more, dark power than the hat has ever been asked to contain." He reached forward to pull Gold's heart from his chest.
"Do what you need to do," Emma told him, hoping it would work, they would all be safe, and Regina wouldn't kill her too much.
'I should make mom run out with Henry, he shouldn't even be in the building, I should make her head home with him,' Emma thought. 'Oh, fuck too late the heart is out and the hat.' Emma was practically holding her breath along with everyone else.
"Purest evil, blackest blue, darkness too can find it's doom." The apprentice stood up with the heart. "Never dying, but contained, bound inside the falcon's chamber, shorn of finger, thorn less danger, there forever to remain." The hat began to glow as the darkness was sucked out. The dagger began to glow, and Emma thought for sure the apprentice would lose. She could barely breath as she worried about Henry and Regina. But then it was over, Gold's heart was glowing white, the hat was now in it's box again, and the apprentice put the heart back into Gold's chest as they all began to breath again. Henry immediately ran to her and she hugged him happy that no one was dying today, she was sure Regina would commit a murder suicide with her.
"He's barely breathing," Belle complained.
'Ugh she's lucky he's breathing at all, what did she expect,' Emma thought. 'At least one threat is neutralized against our baby.'
"Rumpelstiltskin was the dark one for centuries, his return to the man he used to be will not be easy." The apprentice ran his hands over Gold's body. "This will preserve him until we discern if we can help him."
"If.." Belle started. Emma rolled her eyes, this wasn't some magic healing spell, the guy was centuries old, older than Hook even. At that thought Emma felt a bit nauseated. The hat began to glow and shake.
'Fuck…fuck…fuck….no!' Emma thought.
"Everybody step back!" She cried pushing Henry behind her. "She would die protecting Henry then face Regina again and tell her she had lost and put their child in a dangerous situation to begin with. The darkness came exploding out vigorously and went straight into the apprentice. Emma watched as his eyes turned dark as black coals. She didn't know what to do so she just threw her magic at the apprentice and the darkness released him. Her hands glowed again to keep it from coming near her or Henry, and it went straight out the mail slot.
"Mom, Dad go after it go," Emma cried. "I'll be right there." She had to secure Henry and make sure the apprentice was okay." Henry was all tears as he clung to her. "Help me make him comfortable." Henry practically screamed when she lifted the apprentice with Belle and Hook. They took him to Gold's bed and Henry followed.
"Long before your stories began…" He breathed in and out heavily. "the sorcerer battled the darkness. He was able to keep it from consuming the realms. He tethered it to a human soul that could be controlled with the dagger." Emma looked at the dagger horrified as it was no longer tethered to anyone. She pulled Henry close.
"The dark one," She whispered.
"The sorcerer is the only one that's able to destroy the darkness once and for all before it destroys everything."
"Where is he, who is he?" Emma asked. She would do everything in her power to destroy that darkness and keep her family safe. Because if it was untethered no doubt it would head straight for Viveka as soon as she was far enough along to have her own magic separate from Regina's, and she couldn't allow that.
"He's far, far from here, find him, his name is Merlin…. You must stop the darkness, find Merlin." The apprentice passed out after that as Emma looked at Belle in shock that Merlin was even real, but she wasn't even sure why she was always so surprised anymore to find out someone was real.
"Fuck okay, um…Belle you protect Henry with your life, Regina or I will be back for him. I have to get this darkness contained until we can get to Merlin." Belle nodded feeling the urgency like everyone else. Henry absolutely screamed when she handed him over and it broke her heart.
"I'm sorry honey, please stay with Aunt Belle while I protect us, mommy will be here in a minute I swear."
"Mama, Mama!" Henry yelled as she ran out. It broke her heart, but she was containing this darkness it wasn't taking Henry or Viveka or Regina if she could help it. She should have let Gold die and put his body over the town line like Regina wanted, but Belle had pled against it. She barely noticed Hook following her to the town intersection where her parents were standing looking around in the night for a black substance.
'Yeah cause we're gonna spot darkness on darkness,' Emma thought rolling her eyes.
"Where is it?" Emma demanded to know.
"I don't know," David told her.
"It just disappeared into the night," Mary Margaret told her.
'Oh, thank you Captain Swan,' Emma thought using Regina's special term to mark a special kind of stupid that sometimes came from her parents and unfortunately herself as well. Regina finally made an appearance in the middle of the town intersection with Robin.
"Hey what's going on, where's Henry?" Regina asked looking around. He wasn't anywhere nearby, not that there was anywhere for him to be exactly. She glared at Hook wondering why he was suddenly out of prison.
"The Dark one is no longer tethered to the crocodile," Hook informed her.
"What!" Regina exclaimed. It took all her will power not to hug her stomach. If it wasn't tethered to Gold it was coming for somebody else and Viveka was the most likely target.
'Of all the idiotic stupid things these people have ever done!' Regina thought. 'Why am I always collateral damage!'
"Where the hell is it?" Regina asked as they looked around.
"It hasn't gone anywhere darkness is surrounding us," Emma said. Regina sensed it coming for her, she knew it would, it always did. She looked up just as the strands of darkness came down and grabbed her.
"MOMMMY!" Henry screamed in a high pitch voice running down the street in his monkey onesie, Emma just missed grabbing her, but she did stop Henry from getting close to the darkness.
'No, no, no, you can't do this,' Regina thought as she tried so hard to fight the darkness off to keep it from entering her body and her baby. She could feel it coming for her baby, it sensed the power growing inside of her and it didn't want her. She didn't know if she could get an abortion or even kill her baby when it was born full of darkness. Tears fell down her face as she thought about losing her family.
"Regina!" Robin yelled. He charged at her but was thrown back.
"What's it doing to her?" Robin asked.
"It's doing what darkness does snuffing out the light." Emma looked at the dagger, expecting to see Regina's name appear, but instead she saw a V and an I start.
"Viveka," Emma whispered so low no one could make out what she said.
'It's not taking Regina it's taking our daughter. It will kill them both.' Emma gave Henry to her parents who were clinging to each other to her annoyance.
"Look after Henry, Regina's going to need a lot of help."
"Emma, no what are you thinking," Mary Margaret cried.
"We have to contain this, we have to do what the sorcerer did and tether it to a human body." She bent down and kissed Henry.
"I love you kid, don't forget that." She pulled away raising the dagger to head toward Regina.
"Emma!"
"Mama, Mommy!" Henry cried upset. Emma ignored them.
"No!" Regina yelled seeing Emma's intentions. "There has to be another way." Emma's heart melted. She knew it was killing Regina to know that the darkness wasn't really after her exactly, but their baby, and yet she still wanted to protect Emma.
'I need to protect what's left of my family,' Regina thought. 'At least the darkness will be contained for nine months this way.'
"There isn't, you've worked too hard to have your happiness destroyed again," Emma cried. Emma was about to strike again at the darkness with the dagger.
"No!" David cried.
"Mama!" Henry cried. She turned to them crying.
"You figured out how to take the darkness out of me once, you can do it again."
"Emma, Emma please!" Hook yelled. He ran up to her the wind from the cyclone of darkness whipping her hair into her face. He grabbed her chin as if they were lovers. "Don't do this, let her go."
"I loathe you," Emma told him before she shoved him hard back and turned to save Regina. The darkness pulled out of Regina and slithered down Emma's arms.
"Ah!" Emma cried. Emma felt the darkness eating away at her as thoughts piled in that Regina didn't love her, Charlotte's death replayed over and over in her mind how she had snuffed out that tiny bit of light that was her daughter.
'I have to stay strong, Viveka is safe,' Emma thought as the darkness swallowed her up whole and took her away, the last thing she saw was darkness before her eyes closed. Regina moved back incepting a loose Henry again as they cried together as they watched Emma being surrounded and disappearing into the vortex of darkness. It lifted her up into the air until the only thing left was the dagger. It clanged to the ground startling them all from looking up at the sky.
Leave a Review let me know what you thought, and stay tuned for Part 4.
Viveka is a name that has been translated into many languages, but one of the meanings I found in Sanskrit is "True Wisdom". Also in Hindu Religion, "The goddess Saraswati rides the raja hansa – the royal swan, a symbol of viveka. Viveka is the ability to discern the difference between the good and bad, the enduring and the fleeting." It's pronounced Vivica.
