KNOCK KNOCK! The noise shook me awake and brought me back to reality. I tried to move but found I couldn't as there was an arm wrapped around my waist. I looked up to see what looked like a blonde haired monster. Emma. What was she doing here? I went to granny's and…
Memories of yesterday flooded back into my mind. The stares, the shouts, the cries, the hugs. I remembered everything. I moved her blonde locks out of her face and smiled. She looked so peaceful as she slept. I tried to recall what nightmare I had last night because I seem to have them most nights but I found I couldn't. I wish every night could be like this.
Into my mind drifted day dreams of every night with Emma and how we could eat dinner together. I would sleep in her embrace and never have a night mare again.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! I had completely forgotten about my abrupt awakening. I gently unravelled from Emma's arms and got up. My hair was a mess, but no where near as dishevelled as the blonde sheriff's. I opened the door slowly to reveal Henry standing on the doorstep.
"Henry! What are you doing here? Not that I don't want to see you or anything!" I asked him curiously. He just laughed.
"I heard about yesterday. Grandma said about how 'strong and outspoken' Mom was but I know her, both of you, better than that. I just wanted to check that she was okay." He told me. I felt a surge of love for him and I couldn't believe that he was actually my son.
"Come in," I beckoned him inside and he followed me into the living room, "as you can see she is sleeping soundlessly, like a baby"
"Hey..I'm not a baby!" Croaked the blonde, she peeled her eyes open, Henry's knocking had obviously woken her up too. "Henry, why are you here?" She sat up and yawned.
Henry took a seat next to her and gave her a quick hug. "I heard about yesterday and even though Grandma said you were more than fine I knew you wouldn't be. I had to see if you were alright."
"You're right, I was upset yesterday but it's fine now. I feel much better thanks to Regina, she helped me through it." I felt blood rush to my cheeks as I remembered being in her embrace. "Mom hasn't backed out of your crazy scheme yet?" He looked at me and I shook my head shyly, cursing Zelena in my head for telling our son about this.
"I still can't believe that by the way, and Ma before you ask Aunt Zelena told me. Apparently-wait don't worry I'm not supposed to say that."
Emma gave me a look that said 'what is he on about' and I just shrugged my shoulders. I need to be having some words with my sister with to what extent of my secrets did she tell my son. I don't understand why she cannot ever keep her mouth shut. It is like she sees Snow as a role model! I laughed to myself and they both looked at me strangely. "Sorry, I just thought of something funny," I brushed it off. They didn't question me but still gave me suspicious looks. To get myself out of this situation I wandered into my kitchen and started on making us breakfast.
A little while later, we were sat at the table. "I just realised, the last time we ate here it was one of the scariest and most awkward days of my life." Emma announced.
"Let's just be glad it is over then." I smiled at her. "So Henry, how are Lucy and Jacinda?"
Our talking turned into an easy conversation and soon it was time for both of them to leave. "Thanks for everything Regina,it means the world to me." She told me.
I squeezed her shoulder and said "You're welcome, there isn't anyone else I would do this for trust me!"
Then they were both gone and I was alone. Two minutes later my phone began to buzz and someone was ringing me."Hello?"
"Hey Regina!"
I rolled my eyes, just the person I was meaning to talk to. "I was about to call you actually!" I replied.
"Oh, why? Do you need something or do you just want a chat with your dear old sis?"
"Just how much did you tell my son? He seems to know more than necessary."
"Oh..that. Uhh-well I just told him what he wanted to know..."
"What does that mean? Zelena? Zelena!" The line had gone dead and she had hung up on me. She didn't actually say what she told Henry but I could see the implied meaning. Looks like I'll be visiting her tomorrow to 'talk'.
