4 Hours later...
Emma and Regina were both sitting in the same spots as earlier and while Regina wore the same outfit as earlier Emma had changed into to some baggy sweat pants so she could at least be a little bit comfortable for this conversation.
Regina crossed her legs and said " Do get this over with Miss Swan"
"You know after two people have slept together they are usually on a first name basis" Emma stated casually all the while know it was gonna piss the older woman off. Hey she never said she was gonna be nice to the woman she had ignored her for the past three months. She had thought they were friends hell even close friends after all they had been through but apparently that wasn't the case and that's what hurt Emma the more than anything else that had happened.
Regina stiffened and sat up even straighter and gave Emma a glare worthy of the
Evil Queen, "If this is what we need to discuss then this conversation is over before it even can begin" Regina snapped at the blonde as she stoood.
"Regina sit your ass down! You need to hear what i have to say." Emma shouted losing her patience with the older woman.
Shocked that Emma had spoken to her like that she sat back, back ram rod straight, she gritted her teeth together and said, " Do tell whats so damned important then MISS Swan"
"I'm pregnant" Emma blurted out
For the first time in a long time Regina was completely stunned, her jaw dropped open and she fell back against the cushions. 'Wait..why should this concern me it can't possibly be mine' she thought to herself, so she responded with "Well congratulations Miss Swan but i don't see how this concerns me as your and Captian Guylinears love child has nothing to do with me."
"SERIOUSLY?! Hook is not the father of my child, We aren't even together! He's gay!" Emma was pissed she could not believe this woman and she called her an idiot, "For someone who is a powerful sorceress like you and has seen first hand what magic can do, you would think you wouldn't be this clueless hell i'm new to this shit and even i know that it's possible!" Emma fumed at the former queen.
Regina was utterly speechless, how could this have happened obviously she knew they had sex but had they really created a child together with their magic?! All of a sudden Robin entered her mind and she started to panic. He was her true love, Tink had told her pixie dust doesn't lie, he would leave her if he found out. 'No it was obvious that Emma was lying to her this couldn't be her child, she must have slept with someone else after all if she had slept with her while drunk she probably slept with someone else as well' Regina thought to herself ignoring the sick feeling in her stomach. She wouldn't risk her promised happy ending for a child that was most likely not hers anyway much less for Snow White's daughter so without much thought to her words she said " Really Miss Swan if you think i'm gonna believe that for a minute you are sorely mistaken, seeing as how you were drunk when we slept together I probably wasn't the only one"
Regina's eyes widened as all of a sudden all the lights in the apartment busted, she quickly covered her head to prevent getting cut by shards. She knew she had gone to far with that comment but she had to say it she reassured herself. When she looked up at Emma, she had to take a step back. Emma was standing you could see her muscles straining in her physical attempt to remain where she was, her eyes were glowing a bright blue that she had never seen before and you could practically taste the magic in the air.
Emma forgot to control herself after Regina made her comment, you see Emma has another secret that only one person knew and hell if she let Regina find out now, so she took a deep breath and brought her anger control along with her magic.
"Get. Out."Emma gritted out, if looks could kill Regina would be dead where she stood.
Regina was surprised at the cold look in the sheriffs eye, she ignored the guilty feeling and stood. "For what it's worth Miss Swan I hope it all works out for you and your child. I'm sure your parents will be thrilled." Regina said as she waved her hands and was surrounded by purple smoke.
As soon as she was gone Emma screamed grabbed the lamp on the end table and threw it at the wall. Grabbing her cell she called the only person who seemed to care about her, it rang once then the voice of her best friend came over the line,
"Whats wrong Ems?" came the voice of one Ruby Lucas or better known as Red.
"I'm not gonna ask how you know somethings wrong but we need to go for a run but i need to tell you something before we do" Emma related quickly while waving her free hand to fix the lamp she shattered.
"I'm headed your way now" Ruby stated and hung up.
Emma started to pace, she could not believe that woman had the nerve to call her a whore and a liar all in one go! She had known the woman would be surprised even shocked but she had not expected the older woman to outright deny that her unborn baby could be hers and to top it off tried to say Hook was the father of her child, it be more believable if she had said Hook was secretly pining after her father than the chance he had slept with her. Placing her hands over her still flat stomach a feeling of deep sadness replaced the raging anger, "Don't worry kid you will have me and i will do right by you" she softly spoke to her belly. Before she could do anything else her front door opened and Emma already knew who it was.
Ruby walked through Emma's door and took in the scene before her, Emma stood in front of her chair with her hands resting on her belly and a look of anger and deep sadness in her eyes. Ruby could smell magic in the air and a hint of apples as well. 'Regina must have been here I wonder if Ems told her about the baby' Ruby thought to herself yes she knew Ems was pregnant and who the other parent was, she hadn't said anything because she knew Emma wouldn't have believed her, she wouldn't have wanted to believe her. She walked over to Emma and without a word took the blonde into her arms and held her tightly as te normally collected sheriff started to crumble.
As soon as she felt strong arms wrap around her Emma felt her knees give out as she buried her nose in Rubys neck and let the tears fall. Ruby guided them to the floor and just held her tightly as she cried.
"You know already don't you" came Emma's muffled voice
Ruby didn't bother to deny it, " That your pregnant and its Regina's kid? yea i know."
Emma inhaled deeply letting the sent that was Ruby wash over her and strangley settle her rolling stomach. " I shouldn't be surprised ever since last month you've been able to know things about me no else should." Emma said as she moved from the warmth of Rubys arms so she could stand and helped Ruby up as well.
Ruby knew what she was trying to do and didn't take the bait this time, she needed to confront this. " Emma what happened? I know Regina was here i can smell her scent lingering." Ruby asked her.
" Well" Emma drawled out, "She said that the baby wasn't hers and basically said i was a whore, that since i was drunk when we had slept together i probably slept with someone else as well." Emma grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and took a swig as she watched Ruby eyes flash gold and let out a growl. " Oh and she also said hook was the father." Emma stated with a hint of amusement in her voice as she knew how her best friend hated the guy.
"Fucking bitch she needs to be knocked off her high horse and Hook really? really? you wouldn't touch that creep with a ten foot pool." Ruby gritted out while trying to stop herself from doing something stupid like going after a former evil queen.
Emma leaned against the counter and asked " What am I gonna do Rubes? I can't do this alone again, knocked up and pregnant and abandoned...again. What did i do so wrong to keep the shit end of the stick?"
Ruby stood in front of her friend, lifted her hand under a chin to make hazel eyes meet brown and said "Your gonna pull through this Emma, Regina may have her head up her ass but that's not your fault, you won't be alone you will have your parents, Henry, Me and hell even Granny will be there for you." Emma gave her a small smile and Ruby continued, " You haven't done anything wrong Ems, we both know that everything happens for a reason and fate can be a bitch." Ruby stated she felt bad for her friend and she knows that Emma is gonna have to drop not just one bomb shell on her family but two. She just hopes Snow and Charming don't react badly.
Emma smiled gratefully at the tall brunette, she knew Ruby was right but there is only so much one person can take and she still has to tell her parents and Henry. She was also gonna have to come clean about another secrete shes been hiding from everyone except Ruby she had known the moment she came back to town to help defeat Zelena.
"Rubes uh do you know what were to happen if i were to.."
"Not really but I imagine that it won't be harmful but there is only one person who can answer that question and I don't know if you want to ask him" Ruby interrupted before Emma could finish already knowing the question.
Emma sighed and with a flick of her wrist black smoke appeared to reveal no other than the Imp himself, Rumpelstiltskin.
Rumple looked around confused for a second until his eyes found none other than that of the sheriffs and the wolfs. Rumple raised a eye brow as he crossed his hands over his cane that never seemed to leave his side and said " Well dearies that was unexpected to what can i do for you?"
Emma got straight to the point and asked " Can a wolf shift while pregnant?"
Rumple looked at the sheriff unimpressed " If i'm not mistaken Miss Lucas here is better suited to answer that question" Rumple stated irritated that his time was being wasted
Emma and Ruby rolled their eyes at the dark one, Emma replied, "Usually but this wolf also happens to have magic and therefore is not a normal werewolf. She can sift without pain and within minutes and her unborn child was conceived by magical means so no Ruby can not answer this question but I was told you could."
Rumple was confused cause as far as he knew Miss Lucas was the only wolf in town not counting her grandmother, unless...He looked at the sheriff closely and started to walk towards her ignoring the low growls coming from Miss Lucas. "Miss Swan can i see your hand?" Rumple asked if he was gonna answer her question he needed the whole story and this was the quickest way to get it.
Emma signed knowing he what he was gonna do, her magical training had come from his student after all, so she silently told Ruby it was ok and needing answers she put her hand in his letting him access her memories. She watched as he closed his eyes and knowing what he was seeing she tried not to think to hard about it and after a few minutes of silence Rumple gasped and stumbled back slightly.
"Well well Miss Swan seems like we got ourselves another wolf in town" Rumple stated his voice slightly shaky from the memories he witnessed.
