Killian ran the smooth side of his hook up and down Regina's bare back. He could see goosebumps where the cold metal touched her skin. Regina turned her head; Killian pressed his lips to hers, softly. Regina smiled; she had gone years without someone showing her this amount of affection. She loved every moment of it. ""Three months love."
Regina looked up at him, slightly confused. "Three months?"
"Three months till she is six months old."
Regina laughed that deep laugh Killian loved so much. "You could have just said that she was three months old."
Killian looked down slightly embarrassed. Regina gave him a big kiss. She continued to kiss him as he sat up. Regina wrapped her legs around him. Killian stood up and continued to kiss her. Regina started to take off his shirt when Seraphina started crying. Regina unwrapped her legs from Killian and heading into the other room.
"Hi sweetie. You hungry?"
Regina picked up her daughter and lightly pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"Come on Jake!" Henry went running through the halls of the palace. Behind him his best friend, Jake, went running behind him.
They ran into the main hall when Jake suddenly stooped in his track.
"You…Your..Your Majesty. I'm sorry, we shouldn't have been running."
Regina turned and looked at the boy. He was one of the few people who would come to the palace to play with Henry. Regina walked over to the boy and handed him a key. "Why don't you and Henry go to the practice room. My swordsman, Kyle, will teach you guys how to fight."
The boy looked up at Regina and smiled a little. "Cool. I mean, thanks Your Majesty."
As Jake walked away with Henry Regina spoke. "Regina. My name is Regina, you don't have to use my title, not when you are playing with Henry." With that she walked over to her chaise lounge.
The boys ran into the practice room, Kyle following them. "Bet I can fight better than you can!" Henry yelled
"I bet you're wrong." Jake retaliated.
Kyle handed the boys a dull-bladed sword and let them fool around for a few minutes before starting an actual lesson.
Emma watched as Henry and the boy Jake practice fighting techniques with Regina's men. She gave the boy props, he was one of the few children that would even speak to Regina. She knew, first hand, how intimidating the woman could be. Emma had been watching Henry for a week and the only time that she saw Henry upset was when Regina wouldn't let him have two pieces of pie after dinner. Emma was getting more and more frustrated by the day.
"Your Highness, dinner is served." Emma looked at the woman at her door. She was a sweet girl; idolized her.
Emma forced a smile. "I will be down soon."
"Of course your highness."
Emma turned back towards the mirror to watch Henry.
Henry waved goodbye and Jake got into the carriage back home. Henry ran over to a middle aged woman holding a baby. "I'll take her."
The woman handed Henry the pink-cheeked happy little girl. He took the baby and rocked her. "Hi Serry."
The older woman spoke to Henry. "You know your mother doesn't like that nickname. Henry gave a little smile to the woman.
"She won't get mad at me. Plus, I don't use the name around her."
Henry walked through the door with the baby. He tickled her and laughed as she giggled.
Emma watched as Henry played with the baby. He seemed so happy, he was so good with the little girl. She wished she could be with him, making him smile. She had made a stupid mistake, she never should have let her parent's convince her to allow that deal to be made with King Prince's kingdom. They convinced her Henry would be better off in an arranged marriage.
"Emma, what are you watching!?"
Emma spun around and found herself face to face with her parents.
"Uh, I…well…umm…"
Snow grabbed the mirror and looked at it with a mixture of shock and confusion. "Is this Henry?"
David looked at the mirror. "Where did you get this?"
"Ummm…. Rumplestiltskin." Emma whispered, looking down ashamed.
Snow looked Emma in the eye. "Emma, why?"
"I needed to make sure that Henry was alright, so I made a deal with Rumple. The mirror allows me to see Henry whenever I want. This is Regina we are talking about. I know she will do something wrong, I know it. Once we have proof we can invade and get Henry back!"
David sits down next to Emma. He puts his arm around her shoulder. "Regina is very powerful, but Henry is my grandson and I want to keep him safe. Tell me what Regina did to him."
At this, Emma once again looked down. "Well, she hasn't done anything to him. He talks with her a lot. He also loves playing with the baby. But I know eventually she will do something!"
Snow hugged her daughter. "Honey, I know you're upset. This is our fault, we never should have made that deal, but Regina has changed. It has been months and she has done nothing wrong. Yes she can be strict to the people of her kingdom but she is fair. She loves Henry and he loves her. I'm sure he is very happy."
Emma pushed them away. Deep down she knew they were right, but all she wanted was her son back. She threw a pillow at the wall in frustration. "He knew. He knew she wasn't doing anything wrong. He knew." Emma said to herself.
"Who knew?" Her father asked. "Rumplestiltskin? Emma what did you give him?"
"Fertility." Emma breathed out.
"Fertility? Emma you gave him your fertility!" Snow screamed.
Emma started to cry. Her whole body shaking. "I'm sorry."
"Oh Emma", Snow said, "You made a mistake, that's all. We will get through this."
Emma fell to the ground, her body tense as she sobbed. Her father wrapped her in a hug and kissed her on the top of her head. "It wasn't just me! It's for you too!."
David backed away, in shock. "You got rid of our fertility!"
Snow started to cry. "Emma how could you!"
"I'm so so sorry. He made it seem like Henry was miserable. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Snow hugged Emma and cried with her while David looked on.
"I'm sorry!" Emma cried.
So Rumple made a shady deal. Surprise Surprise lol. Let me know what you guys think.
