Stiring from her sleep and looking at the alarm clock at the side of her Regina could see it was 2:30am, at first she wasnt sure what it was that woke her until she heard a noise downstairs. Climbing out of bed ahe put on some slippers and took her dressing gown off the back of the door, heading to Henry's room she looked in and could see him fast asleep in his bed. Closing the door behind her she began to head back to her room thinking she was hearing things when there was a loud crash makingher jump, heart racing in her chest she slowly headed downstairs to investigate, she knew it wasnt the best idea and instead she should call the sheriff but then she didnt really want to see her at this moment in time. So she found herself sneaking down her stairs with her breath held unsure of what she was even going to do, as she reached the last step she waited a moment to see exactly where in the house they were but no noise was made. Standing in the foyer she could see that the front door looked normal meaning the only way anyone could be in the house was through the kitchen area, with ome final deep breath she walked around the corner and was stunned to see a familar blonde standing infront of her clutching her side
"Emma! What are you doing here?" Stopping in her tracks she wrapped her arms futher around herself suddenly feeling unsure about herself, why was Emma in her house in the middle of the night?
"I need your help Regina, i messed up and i have nowhere else to go" her breaths were short and the pain was clear on her features but the brunette woman remained at a distance from her, she knew this was a bad idea and that Regina wouldnt help her and she couldnt really blame her after what Emma had done to her, pushing herself off the side she held tighter to her side trying to stop not only the pain but she needed to prevent any more bleeding before things got too serious
"Stop... sit down your going to cause yourself more damage. Let me take a look, and then once your sorted you need to leave and not come back" her voice was stern and cold makin Emma flinch at her words, she knew it couldnt end well coming here but it didnt make hearing these things any less painful
"I am sorry Regina...for everything" Emma groaned as she sat on a stool at the breakfast bar the movements hurting more than walking did, she reminded herself to avoid this situation again at all costs
"I dont want to hear any apologies from you Miss Swan, you had your chance to apologise three years ago and instead i heard nothing from you. Instead you took the cowards way using your lawyer to deliver a restraining order against me and my son to prevent any contact at all without a single explanation. You are a coward and im only helping you right now so i can see the back of you sooner, now lift your shirt up so i can see what the damage is" how she was managing to stay stong in this womans company she didnt know but she knew she had to stay strong and show no signs of any feelings towards the blonde as she had already made that mistake before.
"I know your angry and hate me Regina but it was for the best" lifting her shirt she moved to an angle that was sort of comfy and also allowed Regina a chance to look at her, she heard a gasp from Regina and watched as she ran to get the house phone that was on the table in the foyer, she could hear her talking to someone but couldnt hear what exactly was being said as she was obviously trying not to wake Henry up, after a few minutes she came back into the kitchen and grabbed a towel out of the draw and then back towards Emma
"I need you to lie on the counter and raise your arm placing you hand under your head" she explained earning a confused look from Emma "dont look at me like that just do it and hurry, how you are even walking or talking right now is beyond me." With that Emma did as she was told and with the help of Regina she climbed onto the side and lay down, getting into the position she had been told too was harder as the pain was unbareable
"Regina whats going on? Its just a scratch seriously i just need a first aid kit to clean it up and put a cover over it and then i can be on my way, why did i have to be so clumsy to wake you up i should of been in and out of here without you knowning" she mumbled the last part to herself but Regina heard it well enough, she wasnt here for her help as such it was just convinent...seems to be a trend for Emma Swan
"I can assure Miss Swan it is much more than a scratch, i have rung my friend Ruby to come over to help out. She works at the hospital im sure you remember me telling you about her.." Regina was interupted by the front door being unlocked signaling the arrival of said friend, when she walked in however Emma changed and suddenly began trying to get up
"I dont want any help from her!" She shouted as she pushed away Regina's hands and all attempts to get her to lie back, her side was now gushing with blood and Emma could feel herself getting weaker. Before she knew it everything went black and silent.
"Emma i need to tell you something, im not sure how too but with you and Henry growing close over the past year i think its best" her knee was bobbing up and down as the nerves ran through her body, this was going to make her seem crazy especially if she is wrong
"What ever it is Regina you can say it, ive never seen you like this before. Your not marrying someone and so i need to stop seeing you and Henry are you?" Emma laughed softly, she knew Regina was still single they often spoke about how she didnt want to date anyone until Henry was older and it hadnt really been all that long since Daniel had died
"No of course not, its going to sound crazy, it sounds crazy to me and im the one who is going to say it. But i think...well i think Henry is yours" Regina finally said the words out loud to Emma and although it felt good it also brought fear to her as she tried to figure out how Emma was going to react
"Thats impossible Regina, you and i have never had sex have you forgotten im in prison" Emma extended her arms to express her point with the very room they were currently sat in
"I am very aware of where you are Emma, and like i said it sounds crazy but i believe it to be true. The date i feel pregnant with Henry there was a party to honor your parents, and i ended up cheating on Daniel with someone whos identity was unknown to me. But i had a dream about that night and when i took off their mask the person beneath it was you, and i know it sounds like it was just a dream but this was different Emma it didnt feel like a dream, it still doesnt." She explained hoping Emma would laugh at her too much
"It was you, the woman from the bar. We danced to 'the one' by kodaline and then headed to the penthouse suit, we had amazing sex and then headed back to the party, you went straight into Daniels arms and kissed him so deep im sure his dick became erect there and then and you left early probably to fuck him so you didnt feel guilty" yes Emma remembered that night, it was the last time she had had sex but it also changed her for good knowing who Regina Mills was in person finally. Her mother had spoken about her often and always wanted the two to meet but Emma always bailed, so when she found out Mayor Mills had arranged a party in honor of her parents she asked for a furlough. In her entire prison sentence she had only asked for it on five occasions, three of which had been for funerals, one was for Killian's finally hospital visit and the other to attend the party with escorts of course.
"You remember i see, although im not sure how you knew it was me as that night we didnt remove any masks, thay was purely in my dream. I never even thought about that night or that it was anyone but Daniel who was Henry's other parent, but the chances of him being able to impregnate me on the same night that we had sex when we failed so many times before are close to impossible. Im not asking for anything from you Emma i just wanted you to know the truth, the bond you are both forming is amazing and you deserve to know he is yours. Of course i cant say for sure because of testing but i truely believe he is"
Emma suddenly gasped for air and shot up into a seated positions, eyes shooting around trying to figure out her surrounds. She was in a strange room that she had never been in, her side was painful and her wrists were bound to the sides of the bed. 'What they hell was going on' she thought as she fought to get away, she began to scream with anger. Where was Regina and her friend, her friend. The one who visited her in prison and demanded she left Regina to live her life, the two had become very close and it was effecting her in ways Ruby had never seen before. Regina had been lost when Daniel had passed away but this was crazy, she was obsessed with being available at certain times to speak to Emma, she would take trips to prison every week and meaning she would take days off which she has never done before. Worrying over Emma made her miss out on sleep most nights and she hadnt been eating properly because she was stressed, when she told Emma about all of this she knew she had to pull away from Regina, especially knowing Henry was hers too. She didnt want to drag them into her messed up life, she will always be a convict and it isnt fair to either of them to be associated with her. So she cut all ties and once she was out of prison she headed to Boston, she knew it was against the conditions set for her but she kept a low profile and no-one even knew for two years. She ran the family and all of its buisness and the only person who knew she was back was August, he was glad to see her again and kept his appearance as the boss.
"You have names tattooed along your side, eight in total...one of them is Daniel Mills" Emma knew that voice, the tone sent chills down her spine. It wasnt a question it was a statement, and she knew Regina wasnt stupid, not all of the names of her "victims" were released to the press but the first four were and Regina had done enough research to know what was going on
"I know" was all Emma said, slowly laying back down her side killing her. Why did she even think this was a good idea, she shoudnt of come to this town.
"You were the one who caused the accident, you were the one who pulled out infront of us on purpose causing the crash" she didnt enter the room instead she lent on the doorframe with her arms folded over her chest "you killed my husband, and the fact his name is tattooed on you tells me it was no accident."
"I also saved your life and that of your unborn child" Emma argued back athough she knew it was a pathetic point to make right now
"We wouldnt have needed to be saved if you hadnt of done so in the first place, so dont even try that with me. And unless you have forgotten Miss Swan the DNA test we did means your saved OUR child, why did you kill my husband. Is it because you were jealous of him?" She had stepped into the room and now stood at the bottom
of the bed, staring at her with hurt and slight hatred in her eyes
"Jealous of Daniel Mills? Please Regina give me more credit than that, just because we fucked once didnt mean i was jealous, was it a good time yeah it was but that is all it was so get over it already. I killed Daniel because it needed to be done, the timing i admit wasnt the best because of the funeral but its not like i could do it any other time you know with me being in prison. Besides i didnt know you were in the car, i thought he was alone." Why was she even bothering to try and explain Regina would never believe her on the truth anyway its why she never told her during their prison visits
"Daniel didnt deserve to die, and he certainly doesnt belong on your little hit list you have on your body" Regina's voice was full of anger as she found herself gripping the edge of the bed frame
"Didnt deserve to die! Regina you had no idea who you were even married too!" Emma's anger flared too and she found herself struggling against her restraints again, although she was partly thankful that they were also holding her down. She wouldnt hurt Regina it was just that her anger was out of control again especially now she was out of prison.
"I think i know my own husband Miss Swan" with that being said Regina headed towards the door no longer interested in this conversation and the implacations from it
"Him burning alive wasnt the plan Regina, but then i would rather he died that way if it meant saving you. He was supposed to be dead before the car went up in flames, i had it planned out but you were in the car and heavily pregnant. You didnt deserve to be in that situation, but he did Regina...he killed your parents!"
