Chapter 21

"Where are you going?!" Regina asked.

"I'm going to get my son," Emma said, she was livid, Robin had taken this too far.

"Emma, you're not suppose to be out of bed, I don't want you to get hurt," Regina said, "I'll go or send Graham."

"NO REGINA! I'M GOING!" That was the last thing she said before storming out of the room and into Henry's. There was a note on his bed, it read:

Swan, you know where we are. Come alone or else the kid loses his lung. BRING $25,000 (Standard ransom fee)

The blonde chuckled, Robin clearly thinks this is a joke. She shook her head and left the house.

"Stop your crying Henry, it's me, Robbie," Robin said.

"I want my mommy," the boy cried.

"Well too bad!" Robin yelled, he was getting irritated with the young boys crying. He left the room and locked the boy inside.

Emma knocked on the door, "Give me my kid."

Robin opened the door and smiled, "Emma Swan, come in, there's someone who wants to see you."

Robert Gold stood from his chair, "Have a seat...dearie."

Emma looked around, "I want Henry first."

"You'll get the boy, after we talk," Robin said.

The frustrated blonde sighed, "Fine." She looked at Gold, "What do you want?"

"If you want your boy back, I want my money and I want to make a deal with you," he said.

She knew how Gold worked, she sighed, "If...I make a deal with you, will Regina and Henry be ok? Safe from you and Robin?"

"Safe from me dear..."

"But not from me," Robin said, "I want Regina to myself, so here's the deal, we give you Henry tonight and you disappear tomorrow after you help us."

She shook her head, "No, I'm not leaving them!"

"I'm sorry to break it to you dear but," Gold grabbed her by her throat and held her against the wall, "You don't have a choice. We need you to steer your police friends away from our next shipment."

"It's going to be the biggest one yet, all you have to do is simply direct them in the opposite direction. Create a diversion," Robin said.

"Then when we're done, you leave Regina and Henry to Robin. I've got your money, plane ticket and living arrangements all taken care of," he said before setting Emma back on her feet.

"They need me," she choked out, "You'll hurt them, I'm sorry but I can't let that happen."

"Do you want them safe or not? I have Regina's house surrounded now, and Henry can easily be thrown in the river. So Swan, do we have a deal?" Robin asked.

"How do I know you won't hurt them when I'm gone?" She asked.

"Because Swan, I just want the family I was meant to have. I love Regina, I won't hurt her...unless I have to," he chuckled, "So Swan what's it gonna be, them alive or dead?"

She dropped her head, "Alive."

"So we have a deal then?" Gold asked.

"You have a deal Gold, if you don't mind, I would like to get Henry home now," she sighed.

"Perfect, he's in the back, meet us back here tomorrow to discuss what we need you to do," Robin said.

"Ok," she sighed and turned to walk away.

"Oh and Swan," the blonde looked at him, he continued, "Regina must know nothing of this, you are to just leave her broken-hearted and confused, I'll take care of the rest."

"Oh I'm so happy you two are home safe!" Regina hugged Henry right.

Emma cleared her throat, "Regina I need to talk to you."

The brunette looked at her with worried eyes, "What's wrong?"

"I just have some work to take care of, so I think I'll go home," Emma said.

"What? No, please stay? I've missed you, I was worried sick," Regina said.

"But-" Regina kissed the blonde in her tracks, Emma moaned into the kiss.

"I think it's time we get you back in shape," Regina smirked. The blonde nodded.

XXXXX

Emma thrust in Regina with passion and love, it was the last time she could make love to the brunette. Regina moaned softly as the blonde hit all the right spots, "I love you Emma."

"I love you too," Emma said as she held back tears. It felt so good but so wrong, they didn't use protection so Emma could feel all of Regina but knowing that she was due to leave just didn't feel right.

She felt like a coward but she couldn't just left her family be killed. She leaned and sucked Regina's neck before thrusting faster, "Oh God, Gina you feel so good."

"Baby, I'm about to cum," Regina moaned out before letting her cum spill out of her.

"Fuck," Emma mumbled, she was nearing her release, she began to pull out.

"No," Regina pulled her close, "Please don't...I want to feel you."

The blonde simply nodded before pounding faster, bringing her closer to her release, "Ugh I'm about cum."

Regina leaned up and kissed the blonde as she came deep inside her, she moaned in the kiss as she felt Emma release everything she had inside her.

After they made love, Regina laid her head on the blondes chest, "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I just need you to know something," Emma said.

"What is it?" Regina asked, she was very worried.

"I love you Regina, I love you more than anyone in the world, you are my world, I'll do anything to protect you," Emma said, she let a tear slide down her face.

"I love you too Emma, I'm in love with you, everything will be fine," Regina said not seeing the tear.

Regina woke up the next morning feeling great, everything was ok now. She had Emma and Henry, or so she thought. She rolled over and realized Emma wasn't there. She sat up, "Swan?!" Nothing. She began to panic, "EMMA?!"

Henry ran into the room, "Mommy why are you yelling?"

"I'm sorry baby, I'm just trying to find Emma," Regina said as she got out of bed.

"She no here?" He asked while holding his arms up instructing his mother to pick him up.

She scooped him up, "I don't think so." They made their way downstairs, she was nowhere to be found. Regina automatically thought the worst, "She left."

"Noooo," Henry frowned.

Regina sat down on the couch and sighed, "Why would she leave?" She mumbled to herself. There was a note on the coffee table, a part of Regina didn't even want to read it but she sighed and picked it up anyway.

Dear Regina,

Please...please don't hate me. I've left and I won't be returning for reasons I can not state. All I ever wanted was to be happy with you and Henry but I can't be...not when your life is in danger because of me. I'm sorry, I hope one day you can understand and forgive me. Take care of Henry, he's a great kid and I love him. More importantly, be careful, please. I love you more than all the stars, you...are the reason I breathe and I can't allow you to get hurt because of me.

Be safe,

Emma Swan

P.S. Burn all evidence of this letter, it's for your own good.

Regina let tears slide down her face, she didn't understand why Emma would just up and leave. She thought everything was taken care of but apparently not. There was one thing Regina understood very clearly though; Robin was behind all of this, he just had to be.

Please don't hate me guys...please review.
