I do NOT own the characters or OUAT.

Thank you for all of your reviews and thoughts! I promise you I take them all into consideration. I know you guys are going to hate me and Regina but I promise, I have a good plan.

Chapter 28

"Emmy!" Elsa called as she watched her step out of the rented Porsche.

"Hi sissy," Emma smiled before hugging her sister.

"What are you doing here? It's not everyday my sister visits me in the middle of the week," Elsa smiled.

"Well I...just needed to get away I suppose and you popped into my head," Emma replied as they walked up the stairs to her apartment.

"Well you're in luck because we just so happen to have a basketball game today, why didn't you come with daddy?" Elsa asked.

"Dad as in David Swan? He's coming down here?" Emma questioned.

Elsa's eyebrows furrowed, "Emma…you do know today is his birthday right?"

"Uh no, can't say I did," Emma said.

Elsa shook her head, "That's really bad E, he's your dad."

"No, he's your dad, he's never been a father to me. I don't want to be here if he is coming," Emma admitted.

"No, please stay? I promised him I'd take him out to eat for his birthday so he's driving here," Elsa relied, "Plus, I know how much you've missed being on this campus."

"He's driving here from Cali?" Emma asked.

"Yes ma'am, he left last night. It's a long drive from California to Illinois," Elsa shrugged.

"Well duh, that's why I hopped on a red eye. He's an idiot for driving," Emma scoffed, "Anyway, enough about him, what's up with you?"

"Nothing…Calc homework," Elsa smirked.

"Oh no, I didn't come here to help you with homework," Emma groaned.

"Please, you're really good at math and English...and science...geez when I think about it, you're a secret nerd," Elsa chuckled.

"Yeah, the only nerd in history who had all of her hoes do her homework," Emma smirked.

"That Lily didn't know about," Elsa smirked back, "You sly dog."

Emma laughed, "Yeah, college was fun. I've missed this place."

"Yeah I bet. So how's married life?" Elsa giggled while opening her calculus book.

"Not married," Emma corrected, "And it's...stressful. Henry's father has decided to be in his life."

"The dead one?" Elsa asked.

"Yeah, long story. Anyway, I don't want Henry interacting with him at all and Regina is being well...Regina and doesn't seem to care what I think," Emma shrugged.

"Hmm, sounds like it's deeper than that…" Elsa said.

"Well...she does want a child. Oh and I'm going to play basketball in Spain for a year," Emma shrugged.

Elsa dropped her pencil, "What?!"

"That's kinda why I'm here. I know you're going to miss me and all," Emma teased.

"Yeah I will but Em, that's awesome. All of that exposure, Jesus, Swan, this is huge," Elsa smiled.

Emma smiled, "Thanks."

"So what about this baby?" Elsa questioned.

"She really wants one soon because she's getting older but I just don't want one right now," Emma said.

Elsa frowned, "Because of Lily though, don't punish Regina for what Lily did."

"I'm not trying to it's…" Emma began tearing up, "I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman…what if I'm not good enough to parent my own child. Henry is already old ya know, the hard part is done. I blame David, he's scarred me for life. I don't want to be a bad mom."

"Em, you'll be awesome. You are so sweet and fun, I think it'll work out just fine, and plus, I know you secretly want a kid," Elsa smiled.

Emma blushed, "It would be pretty cool huh? My own legacy."

Emma was finishing up Elsa's homework when there was a knock on the door, "Yo! Door!"

"Yeah yeah yeah I know," Elsa said as she came out of the bathroom, once she made her way to the door, she opened it and let out a small gasp, "Kristoff, what are you doing here?"

"I uh...came to see you before my game. We haven't talked in awhile," he gave a nervous smile.

"That's because you've been with Anna and she doesn't like me. Out of respect for you, I stayed away," Elsa explained.

"I broke up with Anna…" He said.

She blushed, "Oh, well I guess that's good for you, you were miserable with her anyway."

"Yeah...I was. So uh will you be at my game tonight?" He asked.

"Yeah, you can count on me," Elsa smiled.

Emma listened with a small smile on her face, she wish she could be like her sister sometimes and show courage and simply explain her feelings. She and Regina had argued and what did she do? Run away. She let fear control her and a part of Emma didn't want to do that anymore.


"Well Regina, you're baby seems to be perfectly healthy. Are you ready to know what you having?" Dr. Whale asked.

Regina looked at Sarah who gave a smile, "Yes, I would love to know."

"Ok well...let me put it like this...I hope your baby boy turns out to be a fine basketball player like Emma," he teased.

Regina smiled brightly, "Yes, I knew it."

"I did too," Sarah smirked, "You're glowing."

Sarah knew how upset Emma would be when she found out that she knew Regina was pregnant and didn't tell her but she didn't care. She wanted to help Regina, she truly liked the woman. She felt as if Regina was exactly who Emma needed to be happy. The brunette was an amazing woman, she just needed to get a grip on everything right now, take charge of life.

"He's totally in love with you," Emma smirked.

"No he is not, me and Kris are just friends. His girlfriend just so happens to be my ex best friend," she shrugged.

"You mean, his ex girlfriend," Emma teased, "Either way, he loves you."

"Why don't you leave me alone and go call your wife," Elsa teased before sticking out her tongue.

Emma laughed and picked up her phone, "Well, she's pretty crazy in case you didn't know. I do miss her though…"

Elsa smiled as she watched Emma call Regina, she wished she could one day be as happy as her sister. She also wished Emma would let down her walls and let Regina in, sure she knows the real Emma but there's still so much she doesn't know about the blonde.

"I was worried sick," Regina said through the phone.

"I know, I'm sorry. I'm fine, I promise," Emma stated.

"Well I would like for you to return home so we can talk, like adults. How soon can you be home?" Regina asked.

"Uh...the morning," Emma said.

Regina dead panned as If the blonde could see her, "Try again Swan."

Emma cleared her throat, "I mean tonight baby."

Regina smiled, "Oh what a brilliant idea, how did you come up with that?"

Emma laughed and shook her head.


"Daddy! You made it!" Elsa smiled brightly before hugging her father as he entered the arena.

"I did indeed," he hugged back. When they pulled away, he looked around and sighed, "Ah, the University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana, home of the fighting Illini, remember the good ole days Emma?"

She scoffed, "Yeah David, I remember."

"Aren't you going to wish me a happy birthday?" He asked his middle daughter.

"Happy 45th birthday David," Emma sighed.

"45th? I thought it was 44…" Elsa said.

"Nope, I'm 45 today. Had Kat when I was 17, she's 28 now...do the math. Geez, E, I knew you were bad at math but I didn't know it was that bad," he teased his youngest daughter.

Elsa laughed, "Oh shut up," she gave him a light shove.

Emma watched the smile on her sister's face as she spoke to David. They were talking for about 20 minutes when Emma finally felt jealousy rising inside of her. How could Elsa talk to him for so long? Forget that they were at a basketball game and all. Emma hated her father, for good reason, right? They could never be as close as he and Elsa were right? Emma would never know because she's too stubborn to forgive him.

They were sitting pretty close to the court, some people came up to Emma asking for a picture or a autograph which made Emma extremely uncomfortable. She didn't like being hassled, she knew if Regina was there, she'd eat that shit up and Emma never understood how she did it.

"What's up?" Kris nodded to Elsa while he waited in the wing for the ball.

"Hi," Elsa blushed and gave a little wave.

Emma smirked, "Oh yeah he totally loves you. Anyone who takes their focus off of a basketball game that their playing in, just to speak to you, loves you."

Elsa blushed, "Oh my god not true."

"So true," Emma laughed.


Emma smiled when she walked into her bedroom at 2:03am to see her girlfriends sleeping peacefully. She let out a happy sigh when she slid under the covers and snuggled against Regina's back.

"I'm sorry for leaving," Emma whispered.

"I'm sorry for being a bitch," Regina mumbled with sleep in voice.

"You're not a bitch, you're just a protective mom...but so am I, that's why...I think Henry should decide if he wants to continue to see his father, not us," Emma said.

Regina rolled over to face Emma, "I love you."

"I love you more my beautiful Queen," Emma smiled.

"Emma...I have something to tell you," Regina said.

"What is it?" Emma asked.

Regina looked Emma in the eyes and got scared, "Uh...I-...I'm really going to miss you while you're away."

Emma blushed, "I'm going to miss you too. Let's get some sleep, ok?"

"Ok," Regina sighed before drifting back to sleep.


"Can't believe you're leaving in the morning," Henry pouted.

"Yeah kid, I can't either," Emma replied.

They were watching the first Bulls game of the season while Regina made pizza, it was the first time the three of them had been alone in a long time. It was very short lived when Graham rang the doorbell. Henry sprung up to answer the door.

"Hi buddy, what's the score?" Graham asked as he walked in.

"Bulls up by 7," Henry beamed.

"Cool, Swanny, how are you? Ready to see Spain?" Graham asked as he sat on the couch next to Emma.

"Yes I am, I've surprisingly gotten more excited. I can't wait," Emma nodded.

"That's good. Where's Regina?" He asked while looking around.

"Making pizza," Henry said.

"I'd rather order," Graham shrugged.

"Hey, my baby makes great pizza, don't knock it until you've tried it asshole," Emma gave him a little shove.

"Thank you dear," Regina said as she walked into the family room. Regina hadn't been feeling well all day, part of it from the pregnancy and the other part is from realizing that Emma would be leaving within the next 12 hours.

"Welcome. You ok?" Emma asked.

Regina nodded before looking down at her hands, she cleared her throat, "I'm going to go to bed, I don't feel well."

"But You just said you were ok," Emma sighed, "What's wrong baby? Talk to me."

Regina sighed, "It's nothing seriously, I'm just going to bed early."

"...Ok," Emma said after eying her for a while.

After sending Henry to bed, Emma cleaned up a little, showered, and finished packing. She slid into bed next to Regina and stared at the ceiling. She would leaving in exactly 7 hours, she couldn't believe what her life had become just in a few months. She had a woman that loved her more than she loves herself, a kid who adored her and a friendship with her biggest fan, Graham. Things would be different once she left, she was scared but excited at the same time.

"Regina?" Emma questioned while still staring at the ceiling.

"Hmm?"

"Come here," she instructed, Regina curled into the blonde, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to miss you," Regina stated, "On top of that, I-...never mind."

"No, stop saying that, just tell me please," Emma begged.

Regina looked into her girlfriend's eyes, she wanted to tell her so bad but she knew that the blonde wouldn't leave if she knew about the baby so she simply went with, "I want you to make love to me."

Emma smiled and kissed her forehead, "Then I'll do just that, me and my one arm."

Regina chuckled lightly and nodded before smiling into a kiss with the blonde. She knew she was wrong for not telling her but all she wanted at that moment was to make love with the love of her life before she left for months upon months.

Will Regina tell Emma before she leaves? Do you guys want a little smut? Let me know! PLEASE REVIEW!
