Sorry for any mistake, thanks for reading.
Regina moved her head, her phone was ringing and Henry was sleeping; she moved her hand slowly, she didn't want to wake him up.
"Hello?" She whispered not bothering to see who it was.
"Regina?" It was Emma "Are you okay? Why are you whispering?"
"I'm fine, Henry is sleeping right now."
"Sleeping? Is he okay?" Emma asked worried, it was the middle of the afternoon.
"Yes dear, he had a breakdown about Baelfire and then he fall sleep" The brunette explained looking at her son.
"He is not okay then, I'm coming over."
"No!" Regina said loudly and quickly checked the boy but he was still sleeping "He is fine Emma, he is with me."
"I'm his mother, he needs me" Regina closed her eyes, they were back in that fight, both of them were his mothers, she understood that but the blonde...The brunette sighed, she didn't want to fight anymore, not for this.
"He is fine Emma, when he wakes up, he will call you."
"I'll feel better if I can see him" The savior said annoyed, the brunette frowned she didn't know what was happening with the blonde but something was wrong with her.
"Are you okay?" She stroked her son's hair trying to calm herself.
"I'm perfect, it just…"
"Well then you will have to wait, I want to expend some time with him, I missed him." Regina said softly and she heard Emma growled. "Don't you trust me?" The witch said with pain, she was so tired of this Emma, the blonde had been attacking her without reason.
"Of course I do…" The blonde stayed in silence and that was like a stabbed in her heart, well she didn't have her heart anymore but it hurt. Emma didn't want her alone with Henry, with her son. She didn't understand why though because she had been helping with everything she had, she had changed but it seemed that the blonde didn't notice. Regina sighed again and prepared to talk. "I'm sorry…I trust you, you are his mother too…I don't know…I…can he call me later?"
"Yes of course" Emma finished the call leaving her really confused. Her son began to move and she stayed still hoping that he stayed sleeping.
"Mom?" He asked confused, he remembered himself crying.
"You fell asleep honey, how are you feeling?" Henry sat next to her and rubbed his eyes.
"Yeah…thanks" He answered shyly, he didn't want that she saw him like that, he wanted to be strong. "Who were you talking?
"It was Emma…she wanted to know how you were, she was a little worried"
"I'm fine… I have to go? I want to stay with you more time" Henry smiled at her and she felt such enjoy inside her.
"Of course you can honey. Henry?" She asked worried, her son was serious suddenly.
"I think she is jealous mom"
"She?" Regina was confused, she didn't know what he was talking about.
"Emma…she was mad yesterday too when Tinkerbell was here."
"How do you know that?" Maybe that was the reason of the strange behavior in the blonde, but she didn't have motives for be jealous, that didn't make much sense.
"She and Ruby fought and they woke me up, mom was really mad and said something about that fairy, your name and sharing a bed." Henry told her awkwardly, he didn't want to know who shared bed with her mother, he wanted to her be happy but he didn't need to know the details.
"Oh my god" The brunette gasped, the thing were already complicated without her son and now he knew things. "Emma wasn't jealous Henry, she was mad with me."
"About what? You two fought again?"
"About Tink, they don't like each other, I don't know why so I tried to keep the thing good but…well Emma thought that I was in Tink's side." She hated lying to him but she couldn't tell him about New York yet, she didn't want to worry him about that, not when it wasn't definitive, she would do everything to keep him with her.
"Because she is jealous mom! I mean you've been there for her this past days and well…you didn't have so many friends…they thought of you as the Evil Queen except Emma…I doubted of you too but no Emma, you always were Regina for her and now you are Regina for other people…and I think that didn't like her…but not because she is mean…she just…I don't know"
"When did you grown up so much?" The brunette asked to her son who just smiled at her. Maybe he was right, maybe Emma was jealous and had been behave strange and almost aggressive with her.
"Thanks for helping her" Henry said hugging her again. "I know she was in a bad place after dad died and I know what you did for her…when I didn't remember you I didn't understand why you worried for her and now either but I like that you care about her and she cares about you too."
"I know what she was feeling…I felt it too Henry" She sighed, it was time to tell him about Daniel but she wasn't sure if it was the right thing. The boy looked at her confused. "Do you remember the man in the stable?"
"The one who attacked me?" He remembered that clearly, his mom and David had saved his life that day and he had fight with his grandfather for the first time because he had left her mother with that man. He had been really worried about her but David had said that she asked him to stay. He had wanted to go back for her but David hadn't let him. He didn't know who that man was but he saw how sad was her mother after what happen.
"Yes, he was my true love, my first love. I met him in the stable, he was the stable boy and I fell in love with him, he loved me back but my mother had another intensions" The brunette said bitterly. "She wanted me to marry me with the king, Snow's father but I didn't want that so Daniel and I planned to escape, to be happy far away together." She smiled sadly remembering him, she had been so happy, she had had hope for the first time in her life.
"What happen?" He was intrigued, he never heard about this story before, he remembered sometimes when he was little listen to her mother scream at night for Daniel but she told him that everything was fine and he believed her.
"Snow had an accident with her horse and I saved her life, it was my mother's plan so I could meet the king. She saw me and Daniel and I asked her not to tell because if my mother found out…well I knew what she would do. Cora tricked Snow and found out everything…then…she…" It had been so many years but it was still difficult. She felt her eyes watered and took a deep breath "She ripped his heart out in front of me and crushed it, he died in my arms Henry and I couldn't do anything to stop it, I tried to bring him back to me but I couldn't…that's when I became the Evil Queen and started to pursue Snow, that's when the revenge began. He was the most important person in my life until you came…so I know how Emma felt…your father died in her arms too…she felt guilty just like I felt…I wanted to be for her because nobody was for me." The tears were falling freely down her cheeks, she could see the pictures in her mind, the moment when Daniel fall, the moment he died. Henry hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry that happen to you mom, I'm sorry…I didn't know about this…I thought we were the good ones."
"There is not good ones honey, there is not white or black…is just how life made you…I was innocent and good, I loved my father and my mother, and I loved Daniel but then in just one moment, all of that had gone and all I had was hate and revenge…My heart became black, I lost myself in my mission…I killed my own father because of that…but then you came Henry and you brought light in my life, in my soul and in my heart. I loved you and I still do, I'll never stop love you, you made me a better person, you made me change…now I'm just Regina." She finished whispering the last part trying to contain the desire of run away. Henry was crying too seeing for the first time all the pain that her mother went through.
"You had change…you are good now, you are my mom and I will never leave you" The boy smiled and hugged tightly without know the intentions of her blonde mother. They stayed there for a few minutes until Regina pulled away smiling, she kissed him in his forehead, then his cheeks, he tried to escape but couldn't.
"Mom!" He blushed and thanked that his friends weren't there. Regina smiled widely and then took her phone.
"Do you want to talk with Emma? She was worried" Henry nodded and grabbed the phone, the brunette smiled and walked out to give him privacy and also she wanted to go to the bathroom to wipe her face, she sure had puffy eyes by now. A few minutes later she came back and her son smiled. "Everything is alright?"
"Yes, I have to go to Granny's, she is there with gramps" He said and notice a flash of deception in her mother eyes so he quickly added "I want to go to dad's grave and she said she would come with me. Do you want to come with us?"
"I don't know honey, I think this is something you have to do with Emma." She knew the blonde would wanted to go alone with Henry and she didn't want to be in the middle.
"I can't talk to her" Henry said bitterly.
"Why?"
"Because she lied to me, she doesn't want to talk about dad."
"Henry you didn't remember your dad, you knew that he left you and you mother, maybe she thought that you didn't care."
"He was my father, of course I would care" Henry said getting angry.
"I know that sweetie but a few days ago you didn't feel that way, Emma didn't know how to act around you. Do you understand that? She didn't do it with bad intention, she thought it was the best for you" The boy stayed quiet, lost in his thought for a moment and then nodded slowly. "Okay then, let's go"
"Regi!" That was the first thing the brunette hear and then a body collapsed with hers and she received a crushing bone hug. "I missed you Regi" The queen rolled her eyes, she hated that nick name and that wolf girl knew it. "Did you miss me?" Regina ignored the question and glared everyone in the dinner; of course Ruby had to make a scene in front of everyone. Snow laughed at her face and she throw her an evil look but the woman just shook her head and continued laughing. Of course Snow wasn't afraid from her, they were friends in the enchanted forest and they were friends now. She sighed and looked at Ruby who pouted. "Regi!" The wolf girl whined.
"I missed you too." Rube smiled widely and grabbed her arm and pulled her to bring her where Tinkerbell was waiting.
"Regi!" The fairy smiled, it was good to have her memories back because now she remembered how to annoy the brunette. She hugged her tightly enjoying the look in Emma's face, the blonde was mad. She gave her a smirked and with Ruby took Regina to a table.
"What the hell was that?" Emma asked looking at her parents. She was mad, really mad. Since when Ruby was so friendly towards Regina? Or since when Regina hugged other people? Her mother smiled widely and Emma resisted the urge to punch her in the face, the woman was pregnant.
"They are friends" David answered smiling too. "Tink and Regina were already and Ruby joined them after Regina saved her life"
"What? What happen?"
"The wicked witch attacked us, they fought against her and Ruby was hurt, Regina saved her" Snow explained. "Then Ruby began to spend more time with them and now they are friend, is good for Regina."
"Oh…and they have nicknames for her?" The blonde asked bitterly, this woman wasn't the one she knew. Snow chuckled before answer.
"Well…they called her that for annoy her but I think that she likes it."
"And you two are okay with that?" Emma pointed at the brunette and Ruby.
"Of course, why wouldn't we?" David frowned, yes first it was confused, he always saw her as the Evil Queen, he never knew this side of her so he had been insecure about the sudden change but Snow…she had been thrilled about it, she had said to him that this woman was the Regina she knew, the Regina who had saved her life many years ago.
"I don't know…I mean Ruby is your friend and now she is with her like nothing happen before" Snow narrowed her eyes and looked at her daughter, Emma had been weird since she came back from New York, she wanted to talk to her but Henry was there and it wasn't a good idea.
"I think is great, Regina needs friends in her life and Ruby is perfect."
"Yeah…whatever…Henry and I will go to Neal's grave, would you like to come?" David nodded and helped her wife to stand up.
"We should tell Regina" Snow said but Emma shook her head.
"She is busy" The brunette was laughing of something Tinkerbell had said. "Come on kid"
"Okay now that the charming family went out…can we talk about you, Emma and Robin?" Ruby smirked at the brunette who choked with her coffee and Tink clapped her hands happy.
"What are you talking about?" She snapped at Red.
"Oh come on Regi, you didn't like Robin in the enchanted forest, you despised him! And now you what? Love him? You know nothing about him." Ruby said trying to enter some sense in the brunette's head.
"He is my soulmate Red, he is my destine"
"Your soulmate?" Regina shrugged and pointed the fairy who sighed but began to explain.
"After Daniel's death I tried to help Regina and used some fairy dust to look for a new love for her. We ended in a tavern where there was a man with a lion tattoo, the fairy dust choose him but Regina was afraid and didn't go inside, she never met him until now"
"Robin have a lion tattoo?"
"Yes, I saw it, he has it in his wrist" Regina said and Ruby nodded thinking.
"You didn't see it in the enchanted forest, did you?" Red looked at her hopefully and the brunette shook her head, no, she didn't remember seeing the tattoo. "And you didn't like it but now you saw it and just like that you want to be with him? You can chose your destiny Regina, you choose one in the enchanted forest and now you are changing it. You just like him because of the tattoo."
"You don't know how I feel!" The brunette snapped at her furious, she wanted to be left alone. Tink sighed, this was all her fault.
"Regi…I think Ruby is right…I remembered you complained about him last year and now…I think you can do your own destiny, there are other people who care about you, who like you." Regina laughed bitterly.
"Who?"
"Emma" Ruby smirked seeing a little blush in the queen's cheeks.
"You too?" Regina said tiredly, first Tink and now Ruby, she would be crazy by the end of the week.
"Yeah…I had to endure her jealous rages because of her" The wolf pointed to the fairy "and Robin, because apparently he is not good enough for you. So do me a favor and don't fight this"
"You two are absolute crazy! Emma wants to go back to New York, she wants to take my son away again!"
"What?" Ruby said in shock, the blonde never told her that. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am, I talked to her about it but we ended arguing and I don't want that anymore. She didn't tell me, the mother of her son but she told that pirate"
"And now you are jealous, this is getting far better" Ruby grinned.
"I'm not jealous!"
"Yes you are" Tink said smiling. "And Red is right, you can chose you destiny and if you want to be with Emma, you have our support."
"Well thanks dear but I don't want that. I'm very happy with Robin."
"You don't know him!" Ruby said getting angry, she wanted to Regina be happy and she knew that happiness wasn't with Robin. The brunette open her mouth to reply but her cellphone rang so she glared her friend and answered.
"Hello? …Emma calm down, I don't understand…What? ...Okay we're coming"
"What happen?" The fairy asked worried "It was your sister again?"
"No, but she will come soon, Snow is having the baby, they're going to the hospital." Regina explained and grabbed her things, Tink and Ruby did the same. "Come one, we have to go"
"I am going to be an aunt!" Red squealed happily "But you own me an answered"
"Not now Ruby, we have to hurry, Zelena might be there already. And you didn't ask anything"
"I have no time!"
"Okay, you can asked later" Tink said trying to mediate between the other two. "Can't you take us there?" The fairy wanted to be in the hospital before the wolf girl say something more. Regina nodded and moved her hand, the blonde smiled relieve seeing the purple smoke.
"Do you like Emma?" Ruby asked smirking before the three of them disappeared.
