Anyway...I hope you enjoy this new chapter!
P.S All mistakes are my own!
SWAN QUEEN
Previously...
"So, you're really okay with all of this?" Emma asked.
"Yeah! I do have one question though."
"What's that dear?"
"How did this even happen?"
Emma and Regina locked eyes with each other.
The sheriff was the one to speak, "Well kid...you see uh..."
The brunette cut her off, "Henry, as I'm sure you know magic comes from emotion."
"Right." the boy nodded.
"Well the night that...it, happened, Emma and I had both just broken up with Hook and Robin."
"Basically kid, I came over, we got drunk and emotional, one thing lead to another, and now your mom's pregnant. Because of my magic." Emma added that last part on smugly, she was pretty proud that she got Regina pregnant with her magic while not really knowing anything about magic.
"Emma!" Regina glared at the blonde.
"No mom it's okay. If I'm honest I didn't want a whole lot of details anyway." Henry shuddered at the thought of...ew...

"I do have one question though..." Henry said slowly, "If you got Mom pregnant, does that mean you're a couple? We can be a real family!"
Emma and Regina looked at each other, both of them thinking the same thing.
I wish...
Emma was the first to speak, which surprised Regina, "Uh, listen kid...what happened that was just a...a one time thing."
"Wait...is that why you guys haven't really spoken to each other these past couple months? Did something happen? Did you guys fight? Did you get mad at mom because she's pregnant?!"
Regina took over now, "Henry that is enough! The reason we haven't been talking is not Emma's fault." she sighed, "It's mine."
The saviour reached over and gently touched Regina's thigh, "Regina..."
"No Emma, he deserves to know the truth. Henry don't get mad at Emma, I...it's my fault that Emma and I haven't spoken to each other for a while. I asked Emma to leave even though she wanted to stay and maybe start a relationship..."
The boy looked heartbroken, "You...you don't want us to be a real family?" he'd never told anyone because...well no one had asked, but his adoptive mother was his hero. Most people would assume it was his birth mother, what with her being the saviour, but after listening to Regina's story from the woman herself, and spending more and more time with her, Henry began to admire her so much. And now that the mayor had, as he would call it, started over, he thought that she would want the three of them to be a proper family. Yes Henry knew that his mothers had feelings for each other, of course he knew how could he not? "But I thought that...I was sure that..."
Regina moved over to her son to hug him, "Henry, I-"
She couldn't finish because Henry had already gotten up and ran off to his room.
The brunette woman went to chase after him, but Emma stopped her. "Let me go, as much as it hurts for me to say this, I think you're the last person he wants to talk to right now."
Regina sighed and nodded, "You're probably right. Emma...you know I didn't mean to hurt you and-"
"I know Regina, I know."
And with that, Emma walked up to Henry's room.

Emma tapped on her son's bedroom door and peeked her head through, "Kid? Can we talk?"
"I'm sorry my mom hurt you." was Henry's reply.
The blonde sighed, "Kid...I was hurt, I'm not gonna lie. But even though I got hurt, it still all worked out because...well look what's happened! Your mom and I are having a baby together! You're gonna have a baby brother or sister!"
"I know and I'm excited! I just..."
"Really want us all to be a proper family, I know Henry, and I'm not gonna lie, that sounds great but...I'm not gonna force your mom into a relationship okay? She's already had that and I don't wanna hurt her like that."
"I know! I get it okay! I just, I don't want the baby to grow up in two different houses...I mean I'm thirteen and I don't even like it that much, I love seeing you and mom but I'm so tired of this living in two houses stuff..."
"Oh Henry...I get that, trust me, no one understands that more than I do, and I love that you're so concerned for your little brother or sister but you just let me and your mom worry about that okay? We'll figure it all out when the time comes. You just enjoy being a kid and we'll worry about all that stuff."
"Okay ma...can I ask you something though?" Henry looked up at his mother for the first time.
"Anything Henry." she looked him right in the eyes.
"Do you really like my mom? Like like like her?"
Emma grinned, "You want the truth?" he nodded, "Well, if I'm honest Henry...I've loved your mom for the longest time, and us having this baby? I can't even begin to tell you how happy and excited I am."
Henry's eyes lit up, "Really?! You have to tell her! She loves you too I know it! She's just afraid of getting hurt again, but once you tell her how you feel she won't be scared anymore!"
"Woah, woah kid calm down. I...I want to tell your mom but these things take time okay? And with the baby, I don't wanna stress her out because if she gets too stressed, it could really hurt the baby."
"You're right...but...maybe once the baby's here...you guys can talk?"
Emma chuckled and hugged her son, "We'll see kid, we'll see."
Little did they know, Regina was standing right outside the door and she heard everything...and she was crying her heart out.
Oh Emma...if only you knew...I wish I wasn't so afraid...
