"Bella your grades are horrible! What is up with you lately?!" Bella rolled her eyes and turned away from me. "Bella! I'm talking to you!" "What am I supposed to say?" She crossed her arms and chewed her gum. "Maybe put a little effort into something!" I snapped. "Oh yeah? Why! There's no point." "The point is because I'm your mother and I say so." "I'm 17, don't you think I'm getting a little old to hear that?" "You're not an adult yet." I replied. "Besides, if you wouldn't hang out with that boyfriend of yours so much you may actually be able to concentrate on your school more." I added. She huffed. Suddenly, I heard a crash, then Pippa started crying. We both went into the other room where she was playing, she had dropped one of the big toys. All was okay. "Bella, I just want you to have a good life." I said, "Don't you understand?" She rolled her eyes. "Bella?! Do you understand me?!" I yelled at her. "I'm just sooooo stupid. I can't do school because I have a boyfriend? Right." I looked at her confused, "I never said you were stupid. You're grades right now may say that, but I haven't ever told you that." "You think it!" "Why would I think that?!" I asked. She turned away from me and crossed her arms again, tears came to her eyes. "Bella?!" I yelled. She quickly turned her body back toward me, "You will think I'm stupid!" I was so confused, "Why will I think you're stupid?" I asked her. "I'm waiting until dad gets home so I don't have to say this twice." "Whatever you say." I said. I walked back into the other room and looked in the mirror. This was the worst I'd looked in a long time. I desperately needed a haircut, makeup, and to get out of my pajamas. With Pippa being sick lately and Bella's attitude with me, I'll be turning grey soon. Daniel got home and Bella sat us on the couch. She had tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?" Daniel asked her, then looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders. "Mom...dad...I have to tell you something..." "What?" Daniel asked impatiently. "I...I am..." "You're what?" I asked. "I'm pregnant."
I immediately sat up in the bed, accidentally waking Daniel up.
"What's wrong honey?" He asked.
I looked over at him, still breathing hard from being so shocked, "It was just a dream..." I mumbled.
"What?" He asked confused.
"My dream...it..."
Daniel looked at me confused, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I said. "I need to go check something." I added. I got out of bed and walked down the hall to Bella's room and slowly opened her door.
I peeked inside, she was sound asleep.
I went back into my room and went to bed. I wish these weird dreams would be gone. I mean a week has already gone by since Pippa was born, so they need to go!
Just as I went back to sleep, Pippa started crying. I woke up and looked at the clock, it was only 4:00 AM.
"You got her?" Daniel asked tiredly.
I was already pretty much out of the bed, "Yes." I replied, also tiredly.
I walked down the hall into her room and picked her up out of the crib. I cuddled her in my arms and desperately rocked back and forth, so wanting her to go back to sleep.
"Please, Pippa. Mommy is so tired." I begged.
She still was upset.
I took her over the rocking chair and we sat down. I gently rocked back and forth with her in my arms, almost in tears from over tiredness.
"Please..." I whispered.
She just kept being fussy. At least she wasn't screaming still.
I kept rocking her, nothing was working. Then I remembered.
I began signing, "Hush-a-by, Don't you cry,
Go to sleep my little baby." I paused. "And when you wake, You shall have,
And all the pretty little ponies." She was starting to calm down a little, it was really beginning to work, "Paints and bays, sorrels and grays,
All the pretty little ponies.
So hush-a-by, Don't you cry,
Go to sleep, little baby." I finished, still slowly rocking her.
She was finally calmed down, beginning to fall asleep. She was sucking on her pacifier so peacefully, it was such a wonderful feeling.
All I felt like doing was crying and smiling, crying because of the lack of sleep and smiling because my child finally was asleep.
My eyes began to get heavier with each glide of the chair, I was asleep in very little time, still holding Pippa in my arms.
"We're gonna go look for Spot again." Henry told me.
It was Saturday so everyone was home, I was still halfway asleep.
"Okay." I said sleepily.
He got Bella and Seth and went outside to go find Spot.
They walked everywhere once again, but Spot just wasn't around.
Henry was determined, he was not going to give up on finding his dog.
-
"When are we going to tell Henry?" Emma asked.
"Tell him what?"
"You know...about...us." Emma replied.
"We'll tell him soon. Whenever you think he's ready."
Emma nodded, "Okay."
"Henry, I think it's just time we go home." Seth told the boy.
Henry gave him a startled look, "So we're just giving up on him?"
Seth felt bad that his dog was gone, but at the same time they had been looking for so long. He didn't reply.
"We are. I really thought you were okay, Seth. I can't believe this." Henry said angrily.
"Henry-"
"No. Don't talk to me. I'm going to find my dog, with or without you." Henry said and ran off.
"Henry wait!" Seth yelled after him.
It was too late, Henry was running as fast as he could with tears starting to come to his eyes.
He stopped at the pier and sat on a bench, panting and breathing hard.
He looked down at his hands and saw a tear fall onto them, "Where are you Spot?" He said quietly.
He leaned himself back on the bench, thinking of all the places that he could've possibly gone.
Suddenly, he heard laughter.
Confused, he started looking around all of the buildings, "Hello?" He called out, "Who's there?"
The laughter stopped, there was silence.
"I know someone is there." Henry said.
Suddenly Emma walked slowly from around the corner, "Hey kid." She said.
"Emma!" Henry shouted excitedly.
Emma didn't move from the corner of a building, she still had one hand around the other side.
"What are you doing?" Henry asked.
Emma looked back around the corner and looked back at Henry, "Kid…I uh…"
Henry looked at her confused.
Emma walked a little further, and at the end of her hand was someone else's hand.
"What are you two…" Henry asked, still confused.
"Henry, don't take this the wrong way." Emma said.
"What do you mean take it the wrong way? There's only one way I'm taking this." Henry replied.
Emma looked back at the man, "This isn't the way I was hoping for this to turn." She whispered to him.
He shook his head.
Emma looked over at Henry, "Look, I love him-"
"Shh!" Henry interrupted, putting his hand to his mouth in the "silence" position.
"What-"
"Shh!" He repeated.
Tags. Jingling dog tags.
"Spot!?" Henry called out.
The jingling was getting closer.
"Spot?! Come here boy!" He yelled.
The dog came running to him and jumped up, putting his front feet on Henry's shoulders.
"Spot! You came back! I missed you so much buddy." He said, finally reunited with his best friend.
"I'm so glad he's back." Emma said.
Henry didn't reply, he just shot a look at her. He was still mad at her.
"What are you doing back without Henry?" I asked.
"He got mad at me and ran off." Seth replied.
I gave him a look, "What do you mean, he ran off?"
"He just ran."
"Where to?" I asked.
"I don't know. I just saw him go."
"You didn't run after him?"
"No. He's a big boy." Seth replied.
I crossed my arms and stared at the young man in front of me, "I'm guessing you didn't find the dog?"
"No." Seth replied.
I loosened my shoulders up. Poor Henry, still hasn't found his best friend.
The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Seth said.
He walked over to the door and opened it, Spot came running in to me.
"Why hello there!" I said to him, petting his head.
Henry walked in, "I found him! He came back!"
I looked back at the door where Henry had just come in, Seth still had it open.
"Hook?" I asked, looking outside, "What are you doing here-"
I knew why. I saw the reason why.
"Emma?" I smirked, "You and the captain, huh? How…cute." I said.
Emma rolled her eyes, though she was blushing, "Yeah whatever. I just wanted to make sure Henry got home okay."
"I'm fine. You can go home now." Henry shouted.
"Henry! That's no way to talk to her." I shouted back at him.
He rolled his eyes.
"Room. NOW!" I yelled.
He did as he was told and ran upstairs.
"Come in?" I said, holding the door.
"Oh, I'd love to. But I don't think I feel real welcome right now." Emma replied.
I cocked my head, "Oh?"
"Yeah. Henry doesn't seem too thrilled."
I shrugged my shoulders, "He'll get over it." I said, smiling.
"Yeah, but I'm not sure if he'll get over me not telling him."
"Telling him what?" I asked.
Emma tensed up, "Oh, just…us…you know. Just us in general." She was stuttering.
"So there is an us?" I asked while smirking.
She blushed more, "Yeah."
"I'm devilishly handsome, what can I say?" Hook joined in.
I rolled my eyes, and Emma smiled.
"Come in, Henry's going to be upstairs for a while anyways." I said.
They walked in and sat down in the living room with me.
"Would you like a drink?" I asked.
"Any rum?" Hook asked.
I shot him a look, "I don't do rum."
"Oh, right. I remember now." He replied, "Water then, please."
"Same for me, too." Emma added.
I went to the kitchen and got some drinks, then went back in the living room.
"So how's the baby?" Hook asked, taking a sip of his water.
Emma tensed up and gave him a look.
I noticed this, but didn't say anything, "She's doing good. She's an energetic little thing, that's for sure."
I saw Emma relax again. What was up with her?
"You knew she was energetic all along." Emma said.
I laughed a little, "Yeah. True."
Emma took a sip of her water and took it back down from her lips, holding it in her hand. One hand with a cup, the other resting on her…her stomach?
My mind was now wandering.
"How long have you been a 'thing'?" I asked.
"About three months." Hook said.
"That long?!" I said surprised.
"Yeah." Emma replied.
I looked at her closely, something was wrong, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.
I took a chance, "What's wrong, Emma?" I asked.
She tensed up again, "Oh. Nothing. Why would you say something's wrong?"
I looked over at Hook, who was nervously looking at Emma.
"You just seem a little…" I replied, "…tense."
"Oh. Nope. I'm all good." She said nervously.
She patted Hook's leg, "Ready to go?" She asked.
"Whenever you are." He replied.
"Before you go, Emma, can I speak to you in the kitchen?" I asked.
She looked at me quickly, "Uh…sure."
We both got up and went inside the kitchen.
"Emma, what's going on?" I asked, leaning up against the countertop.
"Nothing is wrong, Regina." Emma said defensively.
I stared into her eyes, she was lying.
I summoned a purple glow in my hands, "Tell me the truth."
"Or what? You'll throw that at me? You don't do that anymore."
"If I have a reason to, I do." I replied.
She looked down at the ground, "Okay. Fine. I…"
I squinted my eyes at the blonde.
"Hook's going to be a dad."
I lowered my brow at her, "What?"
"Hook is going to be a father." She repeated.
"You…are…"
"Yes." Emma said, almost ashamed.
"That's good to hear." I said, halfway excited.
"Yeah. I really have to go now. Don't tell anyone." Emma warned.
"Right." I said, still leaning up against the counter in shock.
She left the room and Seth came in, "You okay?" He asked me.
"Fine." I said, blinking my eyes.
What was this going to do to Henry? He just got a new baby sister, now he's going to have another baby sibling?
"Do you remember what caused you to be on the wrong side of the road?" Whale asked.
Jane shook her head, "No." She replied.
Whale asked a few more questions, then left the room.
Jane got her phone out and started a new message:
"I'm going to finish the job tonight."
She received a new message:
"Good.
-T"
"Hey Regina, would you like to go out for some lunch today?" Mystral asked me.
"Uh…sure. I think so."
"I think you need it. You've been cooped up in here too long."
"Pippa's coming with us though." I said.
She nodded, "That's okay."
"Alright, we'll be ready in a minute."
I went upstairs and got Pippa ready to go. I put her in a little dress for her Saturday outing, she was adorable.
We went to Granny's and had lunch.
"I want to stop at Mr. Gold's shop." Mystral said, pulling over to the curb.
"I don't think that's a good idea…" I said. She knew that Rumplestiltskin was her father, but she didn't know that was also Mr. Gold.
"Why not?"
I didn't know what to say, "I'm just tired." I lied.
She furrowed her eyebrows, "You're not good at lying to me, Regina." She said.
She opened her door to get out.
"Wait, no…really." I lied again.
She pursed her lips, "No you aren't."
I sighed. Great…this was going to be great.
I got out and opened the back door to get Pippa's car seat. I unhooked it and carried it into the shop with me.
"Let's just get whatever you came here for and get out." I said. "What did you even come here for?"
"I just wanted to look around." She replied.
Gold came out of the back room, but stopped in his tracks, staring at Mystral then at me.
He was almost in a daze, looking back and forth at us, "I…uh…welcome." He stuttered.
"Hi…?" Mystral said.
He slowly walked towards us, "Regina, I need to talk to you." He whispered and gently grabbed my arm.
I followed him to the back room, still carrying Pippa in her car seat, "What's wrong, Gold?" I asked.
He looked at me, "You know!" He said.
I smirked, "Of course I know. Now this is payback because you never told me about her."
"But I didn't know about her-"
"You see the future, Rumplestiltskin. You knew about her long before she was even conceived." I said, getting up into his face.
He nervously looked at me, then looked at Pippa.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said.
He looked back into the other room at Mystral, "She looks just like you." He said, astonished.
"Yeah, we both look like mother." I replied.
He looked down at the ground as if he were reminiscing being with Cora…it grossed me out a little.
"Look, if we're done here I gotta go." I said, picking Pippa up and beginning to walk back out.
He grabbed my arm, "Wait." He said.
I turned around and looked at him seriously, "What?" I asked.
"Does she know?" He asked me.
I raised my brow, "Does she know what?" I asked, knowing good and well what he was asking me.
"Does she know I'm her father."
"Sort of."
"What do you mean 'sort of'? Stop playing these games, Regina!" He shouted a little.
I put Pippa back down on the ground and leaned over to him, raising my brow again, "She knows of Rumplestiltskin. She does not know that you are him." I said quietly, in his face.
He leaned back and was staring into my eyes, he was nervous.
"I don't know what games I'm playing that you don't already know, Gold." I said.
He didn't say anything, he rather just looked down at the ground.
I picked the car seat back up and walked back to where Mystral was.
"Everything okay?" She asked.
"Yeah. He just needed to talk to me about some…stuff."
"What kind of 'stuff'?" She asked me.
"Oh…politics." I lied.
She nodded her head.
Gold came out from the back room.
"Hello." He said to Mystral.
She looked at him oddly, "Didn't he just say that?" She leaned over and whispered to me.
I smirked.
"Mystral…" Gold said.
She grew concerned, "How do you know my name?" She asked.
"I've known you for a long time, daughter of Rumplestiltskin, the dark one."
She stepped back, "Yes…"
"I am Rumplestiltskin."
Mystral's mouth dropped open, "What?" She asked out of surprise.
"I am your father." Gold said.
I was just standing in the middle of all of this, it was pretty awkward.
"Regina let's go." Mystral said.
"No, please don't. Stay." Gold said.
"Come on Regina."
"I said STAY!" He said, throwing her against the wall.
"Hey!" I yelled.
He started to throw me against the wall too, but looked down at Pippa's car seat and stopped himself.
He pointed his finger to the carrier and magically carried her to the counter.
"Problem solved." He said.
He threw me against the wall, "Ah!" I screamed, I was still not in great shape, obviously.
I threw a fireball at him, but I missed.
I wasn't as powerful as before, now, because I don't have Pippa.
Speaking of who, she was crying this whole time, scared.
"Hush Pippa, it's okay." I tried soothing her from across the room, still pushed against the wall.
Mystral threw a block of ice at him, but he blocked it.
I wiggled my way out of his magic, he was distracted with Mystral.
I wiggled my fingers and made all of the swords start to float, I caught Gold off guard and threw them at him, purposely making them go all around him.
He looked at me, shocked.
"Next time they'll hit you." I said, "Now let us go."
"No." He replied.
He raised his hand and Pippa appeared in his arm, "I'll let you two go, but she's staying with me." He said.
"No!" I cried out.
"Oh yes, dearie."
"What have I done to you?!" I screamed at him.
"You've tried leaving."
Pippa was still crying in his arm, screaming at the top of her little lungs.
Suddenly, she burped purple smoke.
Gold looked down at her, "What was…"
We were gone, back at home with Pippa in my arms.
"What just happened?" Mystral asked.
"Pippa just saved us." I said, shocked at what she'd done.
PIPPA IS DA HERO :') aw.
So what about that dream!? Cray cray...right!? And the momma regina feels are too immense...'scuse me while I go cry tears of happiness/sadness cause I know this will never happen on the show :(
What do you think Gold would've done if Pippa wouldn't have saved them? And what do you think he'll STILL do?
Oh and CAPTAINSWANNERS I GOT YO BACKKSSSSSS! :D hahaha. No, I don't hate swanthief or anything, truly I still ship it lol but I love both of the ships...and I wanted to incorporate hook :)
