Chapter 21: If There's A Will There's A Way
Two Days passed since security literally had to drag Regina out of the hospital room when Henry died. She now was in her bed, crying with Emma taking care of her. Emma still didn't know she was pregnant.
"Baby, are you done with your breakfast?", Emma asked.
"Mmhm," Regina replied, she only ate because she was pregnant, she didn't have an appetite but she didn't want to kill her baby either.
Emma felt so bad, she hated seeing her like this. She missed Henry as well but she had to be strong for Regina, she loved Henry, he was only person other than herself who understood how important family is.
"Mom, really took care of everything," Jefferson said looking around his father's funeral.
"Yes, she barely let me help," Zelena stated.
"Where's Regina?", Jefferson asked.
"I don't know, she hasn't answered her calls this morning, she's acting like she did when-," Zelena was cut off.
"When she earned the name Evil Queen?", Jefferson asked as Regina walked into her father childhood church. Regina was wearing a long black trench coat and black boots and black hat with black shades.
"Morning," She mumbled brushing past her siblings and sitting down in the front.
Zelena sighed, "Ugh I so don't have time for her bullshit today."
"Just relax and give her time," Jefferson said as Katherine sat next to Regina and hugged her.
"Where's Emma?", Zelena asked.
"She's picking Grace up from the airport for me and I think she's bringing her parents as well," he replied, "Mom's here."
Cora walked up to them, "Good morning you two, how are you holding up?"
"I'm fine mother, you know I'm like my father, Mills men don't cry" Jefferson said.
"That doesn't mean you can't cry, your father never let you cry when you were little but you can cry now," Cora stated.
"I'm not going to cry, there's nothing to cry about mother, he's in a better place now and painless, we should be celebrating," he replied while looking at his father's casket.
"You will cry son, and when you do I'll be there to help you through it. Zelena are you ok?", Cora asked.
"Yes I fine, I think I wasted all my tears on Robin," Zelena said.
"Oh well your father took care of that," Cora smirked at her late husband's actions.
"What do you mean?", Zelena asked confused.
"You'll find out soon dear."

Henry's funeral wasn't very long, his brother and sister spoke, then Cora and finally Regina. Once it was over, the family drove to the cemetery where Henry were to be buried, next to his parents. This was the hard part.
When the family pulled up, Regina noticed a place she hadn't seen since she was 5, the vault. She smiled remembering the time her father bought her there, she was really starting to miss him.
Emma came after she took her parents back home, she got used to driving Regina's car considering that everybody couldn't fit on her motorcycle. She walked behind Regina and hugged her, "How are you?"
"I'm ok, I just miss him," she replied.
"I know baby, he misses you too," Emma said kissing the side of her head.
Cora tried to keep everything together as she watched her husband being buried into the ground, Jefferson was hugging her and...crying, he was upset with himself for doing it but he continued to cry anyway.
"Stop," Cora told the grave diggers, she was crying hysterically now, Jefferson held her tighter, he knew his mother well, if he'd let her go, anything could happen. "I want to go with him," she cried.
"Mother we not burying you alive," Zelena scoffed.
"Mom you can't be serious," Jefferson said.
Cora cried harder and tried to get out of her son's grip, "No, he can't just leave me here!", she screamed.
"Get a grip mother!", Zelena said.
"Shut up, can't you see she's hurting," Regina said calmly.
"We all are but there's no reason to act like this," Zelena scoffed again causing Regina to roll her eyes.
"Zelena just because your life is hell right now doesn't mean you can take it out on us, you're pathetic and need to get a grip your damn self and I can't watch this shit anymore," Regina walking off, she stopped and turned to Emma and simply said, "I need you."
Emma nodded, said goodbye to Henry before walking off with Regina.
Cora was now on the ground crying, Jefferson tried picking her up but she refused to move, she was completely distraught, destroyed and heart broken, she was burying her best friend and husband. She had so much regret and guilt, she felt horrible. She wanted to die.
Henry Mills had his own personal estates attorney, Cora wanted to get everything over and done with so the following morning she called her children over and surprisingly Emma to Mills Manor for the trading of his Will and Testament.
It was 9:00 am, the Mills family and Emma were tired and confused, why did they have to be there so early. They sat in Henry's study, waiting for the reading. Regina's morning sickness was really pissing her off this morning, she threw up twice already and felt the third time coming.
"Excuse me," Regina said brushing past Zelena on her way out of the study and to the bathroom.
Everybody looked at Emma, "What?", she asked confused.
"Well...what's wrong with her?", Cora asked.
"Oh uh...she hasn't been feeling well lately, she's really tired, I think she just needs to rest," Emma shrugged.
Cora and Zelena looked at each other, "Hmmm," they both said.
"What?", Jefferson and Emma asked at the same time.
"Oh nothing, it's nothing," Cora said.
When Regina walked back into the room, everyone's eyes were on her, she rolled her own pair of eyes and sat down. The attorney entered the study, "Well I almost got lost looking for you guys," he stated.
"Yes, the manor can confuse you sometimes," Cora smiled.
"Ok so let's get to it, Henry was very specific with this, I assure everything is up to date," He cleared his throat, "Now some of these things were very personal and some are simply gifts, Henry was a very wealthy man so keep that in mind, ok first Cora, of course you get the Manor, everything is now in your name and he left you some money, he didn't want me to disclose the amount to everyone but I can tell you all that it is all split between you all, I have envelopes for you all with your money. Ok next, Zelena, he bought you and Roland a condo, he said you will be needed it for reasons I do not know and here is an envelope with a letter from him," He handed her the envelope and continued to read, "Jefferson, you finally get your company, all your dad's hats that you begged him for and money," he said handing Jefferson an envelope, "Regina, yours is enclosed, even I don't know what it is," he said handing Regina an envelope, "last but not least Emma, Henry has something very special for you," he stated while handing Emma a box, "well everyone that is it, I encourage you to uphold his wishes."

Dear Zelena,
A house is not a home. I know you didn't want a house with Robin, so I bought you a condo. I know Robin has moved back into the house, I've taken care of that as well. Pack up your things and take them to your condo, when you're done, call 312-555-7080, the operator will ask you for a keyword or passcode, the passcode is IDIOT, and everything will be taken care of. I've left Roland a $100,000 for college, don't touch it until then! The money is in a special place, contact Regina at that time, she'll know where it is. I love you.
Love,
Henry
