She was suddenly blasted into the wall again, her head colliding with a wooden beam. Her vision became blurry, and the last thing she saw before her world went dark was a burst of light.
"Mom are you okay?" Henry asked, chancing a glance at Regina whens he seemed to get disorientated. "Mom?"
"Just watch the road." She said, trying desperately to reach within the depths of her mind to find her connection to Emma. She was fading, just like she did when she had lost consciousness. "And hurry!"
"Mom?"
"Henry floor it!" Regina shouted as he hit the accelerator as far as it would go, trying to keep the steering wheel steady.
"Are you okay?" He asked again.
"I'll be fine when we get to Emma and Amorie." She answered finally. He gritted his teeth. He knew then something must have happened to one of them.
"Blue don't do this." David said, having stepped in front of Amorie to stop the fairy from doing whatever she was going to do.
"And what are you going to do, charming? Bore me to death?" she said with an evil grin. "Now get out of my way, unless you want to end up like your beloved daughter."
"Blue no." David said.
"Let me make myself clear, pretty boy." Blue said. "I'll get what I want. Even if I have to wipe out this whole town to do it. And there's nothing you can do to stop me."
"Maybe not but I can." Regina's voice suddenly came clear through the barn as Blue was zapped away by a red burst of light.
"Ma!" Henry shouted as he went over to Emma.
"Regina…" Emma muttered under her breath as she fought to stay conscious.
"Ma we're here." Henry said. Regina looked over to David, who had picked Amorie up gently. Once she saw her daughter was safe, she ran over to Emma.
"Emma?" She said softly. She could barely hear her breathing, she could barely feel that she was alive. "Damn it Swan I'm not losing you."
She held her palm out and open over Emma, channeling all the light magic she could find within herself to make it heal.
"Come on Emma…" she pleaded, trying to cast all of her magical energy into the blonde to get her to wake up.
"Regina!" David warned as Blue began to move.
"I almost got her." Regina said, not realising what was happening.
"Regina move!" David called. All of a sudden a dark ray of magic was coming towards Regina at a blazing speed. She would have realised all too late, but Suddenly Emma's eyes shot open, grabbing Regina's hand and with her free one sending a wave of white light towards blue, casting her own dark magic towards her. Blue cast a shield, sending the magic spiraling every which way away from her as Emma and Regina stood up.
"Henry, dad, get out of here." Emma said.
"What?" David said "but-"
"Listen to her, this isn't gonna be pretty." Regina said, casting a smirk towards the blonde.
"You think you can defeat me?" Blue said, hovering just above the ground. "I've been alive for centuries! My magic is some of the oldest around. The most powerful."
"Yeah yeah, maybe when you're done being so melodramatic we can exchange cosmetic notes." Regina rolled her eyes.
"But you're wrong about one thing Blue. There's magic more powerful than yours will ever be." Emma said.
"Hah, yours?"
"Nope." Emma smiled as she reached over and gently took Regina's hand. The brunette smiled at her and gave her a nod.
"Ours."
Suddenly they threw a palm out each, sending spirals of red and white to be tied into each other as they flew towards blue, sending her flying into the barn wall opposite them. Their magic wrapped itself around the fairy like rope, restraining her. It drained her of all her energy, suddenly aging her to show how long she'd really been alive. When she was not much more than a skeleton, they stopped, approaching her slowly.
"Where's my mother?" Emma asked. The fairy, or what was left of her, had no energy to speak. All she could do was wiggle her fingers around until a small spark of magic came through, teleporting Snow to the barn.
"What the?" Snow said as she looked around.
"Mom!" Emma said, running towards her and hugging her. "I was so worried."
"What happened?" Snow said, looking over at the husk that used to be her fairy godmother and gasping.
"She tried to kill Amorie." Emma gritted her teeth.
"She tried to kill all of us." Regina said, sneering at the fairy before she looked at Emma.
"Do it." Emma said. "Before she hurts anyone else."
Regina nodded before she reached into Blue's chest and pulled out a shriveled, black heart. She almost laughed at the irony of how long she'd waited for this moment. But now the tables had turned. She squeezed, and the heart offered little to no resistance before crumbling to ash, followed by the husk of a fairy that suddenly disappeared into the wind.
"Hey what about me?" Hook called, still stuck in his Snow getup.
"Uhm." Snow said in confusion. Regina gritted her teeth.
"It takes a seriously heinous person to pretend to be Snow and kidnap my daughter. It also means you must have a death wish." She said as she approached the impostor. "Time to see who you are."
"I-I-." Hook stammered as Regina flicked her wrist, removing the glamour spell and bringing Hook back into his true form.
"Hook?!" Emma demanded.
"You slimy piece of-" Regina gritted her teeth.
"Wait…" David called. "If you were Snow when Amorie was born then…who did I kiss?"
Emma, Regina, Henry and Snow all looked at David with wide eyes and varying forms of disgust on their face as Hook silently prayed for the earth to swallow him whole.
"Okay, well…Repressing that seriously disgusting bit of detail." Regina said as she turned back to Hook.
"Emma…love?" He said nervously.
"Regina." Emma placed her hand gently on the brunette's shoulder.
"Are you serious?" Regina said.
"Just let me handle this, okay?" Emma said. Regina sighed and nodded. Emma went up to Hook, who smiled at her.
"I was only trying to win you back." He said.
"Fuck you, pirate." Emma said as she punched him right in the nose. "That's for kidnapping me months ago."
"I'm sorry alright I-OOF-" he tried to plead as she punched him again. "That's for kidnapping my mother!"
"Should we stop her at any point?" Snow muttered to Regina.
"I think we should let her vent out her frustration, it's healthy." Regina smirked.
"This is for kidnapping my daughter!" Emma shouted as she punched him repeatedly until he was on the ground. Regina at this point had turned around and was gushing over Amorie.
"And-" kick "this-" kick "is for-" kick "being a shitty person in general-" kick.
"Emma, darling?" Regina called over. Emma stopped wailing on Hook with a huff as she turned around to see Regina holding Amorie and smiled. "I think you can stop now."
"Dad, cuff him and take him to station." Emma said as she dusted herself off before going up to Amorie and Regina, kissing the brunette on the forehead before playing with her daughter, who smiled up at her with bright eyes.
"She looks like you." Emma said.
"She's a newborn." Regina said. "Let's wait a bit."
They returned to the hospital to make sure Amorie, Regina and Emma were all alright, and Whale was astounded to find that even Emma's previous injuries had all been healed thanks to Regina's magic. Regina had regained all her strength through the elixir she'd been given earlier, and Amorie was stronger and healthier than any new born Whale had ever seen before.
"Magic is going to run me out of a job." He said as he signed all of the discharge papers and sent then home with just a fair warning to "take it easy."
