Chapter 25
A week later Kilian was released from hospital. Liam was allowed to leave the hospital after a day. Regina and Emmet waited outside the hospital for Kilian who came out at 12pm punctual. The first thing he felt was a knee in his balls and he toppled over in pain. He got caught by two feminine hands. "Let's get you home, shall we?" Regina asked and Emmet chuckled. "Such a hot lady." He mumbled and Regina rolled her eyes at him with a giant grin. Kilian just held his balls while he followed them to Emmet's car. He got in and spotted Lana in the back in her baby seat. She was 'waving' with her toy at him and smiled. She sucked on her pacifier. He sat down next to her and cooed. Regina and Emmet got in in the front and drove over to Kilian's house.
Regina and Kilian got out and he smiled at her gratefully. Emmet quickly got out too and went with Kilian to the front door while Regina got back into the car and looked at Lana. "You have luck with her..." Kilian said and Emmet looked at him confused. "She has a good heart. She is hot and she is intelligent. You couldn't wish for more." Kilian explained and Emmet smiled. "Yeah, she is a true miracle... and she gave me the most wonderful gift on the world." "Lana?" Kilian asked and Emmet nodded. "When you have a child of your own you know what I mean. No matter how much you thought you love your girlfriend or whatever status you two have in that moment... it's nothing compared to the love to your child..." Emmet told him and Kilian smiled.
"I want to wait though... sorry that I didn't stop them." Kilian answered and Emmet shook his head. "Maybe it's a bit early.. but I'm glad to have Lana." Emmet told him. "Tonight is the prom, isn't it?" Kilian asked and Emmet nodded. "You are taking Lana with you?" Kilian asked and Emmet smiled. "Yep. My parents have their wedding day today, so they can't watch over Lana. Liam has a sleepover and is much too young anyway. Regina's father is hosting the prom and her mother got a last minute meeting in for tonight so that leaves us with no babysitter for Lana and we won't give her to other people than our family." Emmet answered and Kilian nodded.
"We bought her a really cute dress which looks a lot like Regina's. You should have seen Regina in her dress..." Emmet said and smiled. "I saw her... when Neal grabbed Lana and Jefferson Liam... she looked truly like a Queen." Kilian said and Emmet nodded. "She is one... Regina means queen." Emmet said and Kilian chuckled. "Have fun tonight." Kilian said and Emmet nodded. "You too." He answered with a grin and walked back to his car. He got in and kissed Regina softly. "Tonight we are finally free of school." He said amused and Regina nodded. "You will pick me up? I don't want you to see me completely styled before tonight." Regina said and he chuckled.
"Fine. I will need my suit though." Emmet said and Regina nodded. They arrived and got out of the car with Lana. They got in and Emmet quickly got his suit. He kissed Regina a last time before he drove to his old home. Regina walked to the living room of her parents with Lana and smiled at them. "She lifted her head." Regina said proudly and kissed Lana's head. Cora and Henry looked at her surprised and smiled. "That's great!" Cora said and Regina looked down at Lana. "You are such a bright girl, aren't you? Such a cute and bright girl!" She tickled her stomach and Lana grinned.
Regina held her against her chest and smiled at her. "She can look up without being on her back." She sat down with Lana in her arms and Cora sat down next to her. They cooed over Lana. "May I?" Cora asked and Regina nodded. She handed Lana over and laid her head on her mother's shoulder. Henry made a picture of them and grinned. "You should get upstairs and prepare for the prom in a few hours.. go to a hairdresser and such things." Henry said and Regina and Cora looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"I'll pay. But I need to write my speech and can't have you two around for that." Henry said with a chuckle and they got up. "You watch over Lana though." Regina said. "She needs a bit sleep before tonight." Henry nodded and took the little baby in his arms and held her softly. Regina and Cora got their things and made their way to a hairdresser while Henry carried Lana in his study and placed her in a little baby seat. She could see him perfectly while he worked. He read out his speech a few times and looked at Lana softly. "Interesting enough that the couples won't go hiding in the restrooms for some more fun?" Henry asked and Lana smiled.
"Good. Now let's feed you and make you to the most beautiful little baby girl on the whole world." He said and lifted her up. She looked at him happily and snuggled close. "I'm sorry that you never could meet your real grandparents... we are just your adoptive ones... but that doesn't change the true fact that we love you with every cell." Henry told her and quickly got a milk bottle for her. She started drinking happily and looked deep in her grandfather's eyes. He smiled lovingly. "Sometimes... I wish that Cora and I would be able to have so precious things like you... but it doesn't matter anymore... We got Regina and she got you... that's all we need."
Lana smiled at him and he rubbed her stomach softly. After she she drank he made her burp and gave her her pacifier back. She whimpered and he quickly gave her her toy. She held it tightly in her arms and smiled contently. "So. I'm going to dress you and change your diapers." He told her and carried her to the guest house which was connected with a small floor to the main house. He laid her down on her changing table. He quickly undressed her and took off her diaper. He scrunched his nose. "You may be cute but god you can make disgusting smelling poop." He said and Lana giggled. He threw the diaper away and quickly cleaned her up before he put on a new diaper.
"Okay, cutie. Now you are smelling good again. Feels great, don't you think?" Lana grinned and he quickly got her red dress. "So beautiful, isn't it? He put it on Lana and slowly sat her up. She giggled and tried to take her dress in her hands. "Sh. Don't start fidgeting with your dress like your mommy. If you don't fidget then no one will look." Henry told her and kissed her forehead. She toppled slightly back and he caught her quickly. "We definitely need to train your sitting." He said amused and she huffed. He kissed her forehead and picked her up again. An arm supporting her little butt and the other free hand on her back. He looked on the clock. Two hours had passed since Regina and Cora had been gone.
The front door opened and he quickly walked to it with Lana. Regina and Cora were just hanging up their jackets and smiled at them. "I hope she wasn't to troublesome." Regina said and he gave her Lana back. "Not at all. She is a wonderful little baby." Henry answered and Regina kissed Lana's cheek. "I should take her back though so you can change." Regina nodded and handed her back. Cora and she walked upstairs and Cora helped her in the dress. "You look like a film star." Cora said and looked at her young daughter. She started crying. "Mom..." Regina breathed out and hugged her softly. "God... you got so big..." Cora sobbed and Regina smiled.
"I thought you would freak out the moment I got Lana and not when I'm going to my prom." Regina said and Cora sniffled. "This is final... you finished high school... you are now an 'adult'." Cora answered and cupped Regina's cheeks. Regina placed her hands over Cora's. "You gave me the most wonderful 3 almost 4 years of my life... and I will probably wait until I am 18 until I start studying so I can stay with Lana while Emmet is in police school." Regina told her. "I'm not going so soon, Mom." Cora smiled lovingly and pressed a kiss on Regina's forehead. The door bell rang and Regina breathed out nervously.
"Pack a bag for Lana. I open the door." Cora said and Regina nodded. A few minutes later Regina walked downstairs and into the main house. Everyone quiet down and looked at her. Regina was blushing and concentrated on Emmet. He stepped towards her and kissed her softly. "So beautiful." He told her and Regina smiled. Henry handed her Lana over and they smiled at each other. "Stay together." Cora ordered and Emmet wrapped his arm around Regina. Lana was squished between the two and they smiled for Cora in the camera. "Thank you." She said and Henry looked at the picture. "Can we go now?" Emmet asked softly and Regina nodded.
They took Lana's baby seat and quickly got into Emmet's car when it started raining. Henry knocked at Regina's window and gave them an umbrella. "Thanks Dad." Regina said and Henry nodded. He quickly hurried to his own car. Emmet drove over to the gym of their school where the prom was held. Lana was squealing in the back and Regina looked at her. "You excited, honey? I am..." Regina asked and Emmet smiled. "I wonder who will be the prom queen... you will definitely be the king." Regina said. "Don't care. You are the queen of my heart." Emmet answered and they came to an halt. Emmet took the umbrella and quickly got out. He rounded the car and opened the door. Regina got Lana and quickly climbed out of the car.
Emmet wrapped an arm around her and kissed her softly. They got into the hall and quickly locked their jackets and the umbrella in a locker. "Let's get into the hall and find Kathy and co." Emmet said and Regina nodded. He took Lana's baby seat. Regina gasped and looked around when they were in the hall. "Wow..." Regina breathed out and Emmet chuckled. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" He asked and Regina nodded. Emmet took Regina's hand and smiled. Some boys turned around to Regina when they saw her. Emmet shot them all a death glare and they quickly turned away just to get snapped at by their dates.
"Regina! Emmet! You look so hot together." Kathryn said when she spotted them and Regina hugged her softly. "You look like something between unhappiness and happiness." Kathryn wondered. "I'm happy when Emmet had his dance with the prom queen and I have him all for myself again..." Regina told her and Kathryn smiled. "You have to share him just for 3 minutes, honey." Kathryn chuckled and Regina rolled her eyes. "Too long. He is mine." "There are seats in the back. You want to sit down?" Emmet asked Regina. He pointed at the back of the hall and Regina nodded.
He kissed her lovingly. The group walked to the seats and they sat down. Regina took Lana in her arms and rocked her slightly while she talked with Ruby, Belle and Kathryn. The guys were talking with each other too. Ruby wore a red dress too but hers was much shorter and more revealing than Regina's. "I like what you did with your hair, Gina. How did you do it?" Ruby asked and Regina touched her hair. "Hairdresser?" Regina answered with a grin and they chuckled. "Mom and I went to it so that Dad could write the speech." Suddenly Regina got turned around and lips pressed against hers. She pulled away shortly and then shook her head laughing.
She kissed Emmet again and he smiled. "Thanks." He whispered. "Why?" Regina asked quietly back. "Was a bet. If you would pull away to see who you would kiss or just kiss back hoping it would be me." He answered and Regina chuckled. She looked at the boys and raised an eyebrow. Emmet leaned close. "Robin did the bet. Would it be okay if I kiss Graham?" Emmet whispered and Regina nodded. "But I want to see his face." She answered as quiet as he was. Emmet chuckled and got up. "Regina is thirsty..." He just said and slowly walked away. Regina smiled smugly and turned Lana to the group. The girls watched Regina who watched the guys amused.
"Nice that you make bets on me." She said and they blushed. "Sorry?" Robin said with a grin and Regina giggled. She spotted Emmet coming back. Emmet grabbed Graham and brushed Robin by doing so which attracted his attention. Emmet kissed Graham and the girls gasped before they started laughing. Graham smirked into the kiss and Robin looked quite shocked. Emmet pulled away and high fived Graham. "Payback is a bitch." Regina said and Emmet sat down next to her. "Thought you really could use something." He said and gave her a paper cup with coke. "Thanks." Regina said and kissed him lovingly before she took a sip.
Robin fake pouted and the girls smiled. "And? How is kissing a guy?" They asked him and Emmet thought about it. "Not that bad, but I prefer one pair of lips. And that's of my Queen." He answered and Regina smiled lovingly at him. "Ladies and Gentlemen." They suddenly heard over the speakers. They stood up and Regina saw her father standing on the stage. He wore a suit and smiled brightly. He was adored by almost everyone of the school and he knew that. He also used that to ask his students about their opinion of the school to make it better. But that all didm#t mattered. "We are going to crown the prom Queen and King. For that I'm going to give the moderation to Dr. Victor Whale who just came back from New Zealand last week."
The crowd groaned. "Why not you?" A boy asked and Henry smiled. "Because it would be unfair. I can't moderate it when I want my daughter to be the Prom Queen." He said with a smile and looked to Regina who blushed. The crowd smiled and looked shortly to Regina before they concentrated on Henry again. "Give him a chance." Henry said and winked at them before he gave the microphone to Whale who smiled nervously. "Okay guys... I'm going to introduce you the Prom Queen and her king." He mumbled and they watched him.
