Emma heard Regina, she understood the plea in the older womans voice but were at one time that might have made a diffrence now was not the case because while everyone seems to think she's the epitone of goodness, she was far from it and it was time the former Evil queen realized it.
"Now why would I want to stop, Your Majesty? He knew full well who Ruby was, don't even try to tell me otherwise cause I know you, and he shot at her anyway. If I han't been with her she would be dead and I don't like anyone tryingg to kill someone I care about!" Emma spat at the mayor while letting the arrow dig a little deeper into Robins shoulder and smiled devilishly at the strangled sounds coming out from him.
Regina raised a hand of her own, fireball ready when she remembered the blonde was pregnant, and silently cursed, "I realize that he has made a grave error but.." Regina started then stopped quickly when she noticed Emma increase the pressure of the arrow, she's really gonna kill him...I can't lose my last chance at a happy ending..forgive me she thought to herself. She raised her hand, once again fireball at the ready but before she could throw it at the blonde she noticed Ruby shifting back to human and at a rather quicker speed than she thought possible..
Ruby decided it was time to try pull the blonde back when she saw Regina fail and about to resort to attacking the pregnant woman, which she wouldn't soon forget, drawing on her and Emma's bond to make tings go quicker she began to shift.
Emma was aware something was occuring but she was solely focused on the fact that Regina had come to the decison to attack her over this fucking forest dweller knowing full well she was pregnant, she supposed she could have put Robin down and prevented this whole situation but the alpha in Emma would not allow that and lets face it, it wouldn't be near as fun she laughed aloud then froze when she felt arms wrap around her from behind.
"Ems he's not worth the fight let him go, think about the pup Regina is ready to fireball you over him...and can you um maybe poof me some clothes?" Ruby said directly into the blondes ear, while using the blondes body to hide as much of her nakedness as possible.
Emma lost some of her ire at the mention of her unborn baby, she sighed loudly let Robin and the arrow drop to the ground then turned in Ruby arms, Ruby's nakedness not bothering her and waved a hand clothing the taller woman.
"Thank you" Ruby said as she took a step back giving the other woman her space and walked in front of her just in case the queen decided to get back at the blonde for what she did to Robin.
Regina watched the two and felt her stomach knot at the sight, just how close are these two? what do I care? i've got my true love Regina thought ignoring the knots in her stomach as she walked to Robin to check his wound.
"Regina! Why didn't you do anything to stop her?!" Robin questioned her as she healed his wound with magic.
"Your lucky Miss Lucas talked her down or you would probably be severerly injured, you did try to kill her pack mate." Regina avoided the question not wanting to reveal Emmas pregnancy and turned her sights on the two wolves noticing how Ruby stood protectively in front of the blonde while rage filled eyes glared at her.
Robin huffed at the statement, " It was a automatic reaction" he mumbled in reply although he knew that was a lie.
" Shut it before i finish what i started pine cone" Emma stated once again in control she came to stand beside Ruby in a united front showing while she respected the thought she didn't need the protection, all of which was not unoticed by the mayor.
Now that the immediate threat was over Regina let her anger lose, sneering at the blonde she briskly walked towards her only to have Ruby growl at her and Robin grab her by the arm stopping her from getting into the Savior's face.
"I swear I will..."Regina started
"Yea, yea, destory my happiness if it's the last thing you do, you really need a new line your majesty" Emma interuppted " Plus you won't do that cause of henry and just to point out I wasn't gonna kill him just make sure he remembered what would happen if he were to try that stunt again." Emma smugly told the furious mayor, she knew she was being petty she blames the pregnancy hormones.
Regina wanted nothing more than to wipe the smug look off the blondes face but knew that one wrong move and Ruby would pounce.
"Fine Miss Swan I will give you that one but next time I won't be held back no matter what" Regina glances towards the woman's still flat stomach and back into rage filled hazel eye's.
A deep growl came from the blonde's chest and she went to take a step forward but Ruby grabbed her.
"Ems..maybe you should just tell Regina about the meeting we were talking about earlier." Ruby stated while noticing the queen glaring at the hand that touched the blonde and smirked, someone is jealous she thought.
"Fine" Emma said through gritted teeth, " I'm having a family get togther later there are some things that need to be discussed and i'm sure you have a million questions so be at my place tomorrow at noon and please leave the pine cone at home."
Regina ignored the last comment, "Yes I will be there" Regina turns, she feels Robin's arm go around her waist and feels eyes burning into her back as they walk away.
Emma shoulders drop as she watched the two walk away and in a defeated voice says, "Lets go home Rubes"
Ruby watches with sad eyes as the defeated blonde turns to start the walk home, She quickly catches up wraps a arm around her pack mates shoulders and walk in silence back to Emmas knowing tomorrow was not gonna be any better than today.
Emma was laying on her sofa resting her eye's, Ruby had left earlier this morning for her shift at the diner, Emma had woken with a text from her saying her and granny would be there at noon for the family gathering, lets face it they were family more than ever now. Please god let the morning sickness be gone for now she thought having spent most her morning get well acquainted with her toilet. She goes stands to go get changed before people start arriving when someone starts knocking at her door, she looks at the time and sees it 11:45 she must have been resting her eyes longer than she thought. She sighs and goes to answer the door, she could just magic clothes on to herself but her stomach is queasy enough without the adding magic to the mix. She looks through the peep hole and silently curses her luck, of course it's Regina and Henry, that woman has to be the one to see her looking like complete shit it gives her something else to use against her fuck it she thought and opened the door.
"You have a key kid you couldn't have let yourself in?" Completely ignoring the raised eyebrow of the mayor at her apperance and speaks directly to Henry.
Regina took in the sight of the savior/wolf and was amused looks like the blonde has had a rough morning. Her hair was in a messy bun blonde loose curls going every wich way, she had a black tank top on, does she not have regular shirts? she thought to herself as her eyes continued to look the blonde over. She swallowes hard at the sight of a toned ads and pale skin sometimes in the very back of her mind she wishes she could remember their drunken night then shakes her head to rid herself of those thoughts narrowing her eyes at the noticeble smirk the blonde was wearing.
"Rough morning dear? See your once again in sweats but then again that seems to be your norm" Regina said.
"No more than the stick that stays up your.."Emma went to reply
"SOOOO Ma what's this meeting about?" Henry interupted his blonde mother, he didn't want to listen to their bickering plus he did wanna know what was up with this sudden meeting his Ma had called.
Emma opened the door wider to let them pass closed it then walked to the kitchen for some much needed coffee, "You will have to wait till everyone gets here kid" She said as she fixed her cup of coffee went to take a sip when all of a sudden purple smoke surrounds it and it dissappears.
"What the hell Regina?! Get your own damn coffee!" Emma shouts
Regina raises her eyebrow at the blonde looks to her stomach then back to hazel eyes, " Why would I do that when i can just take yours?" She replied seeing understanding dawn in hazel eyes.
Henrys eyes dart between his mothers, they are hiding something he thinks but holds out on saying anything till he hears his blonde mother out at the meeting.
"I'm going to my room to see if I left the comic i was reading up their" Henry said then turned and went upstairs.
Regina made sure Henry was where he said he was then turned to the blonde, " I would think you would know not to drink caffine right now dear." Regina stated as she drank the blondes coffee.
Emma leaned against the counter, ran a hand through her hair and said, "I forgot...thanks for the save" Emma reluctantly said.
Regina just nodded then a ackward silience fell over them.
"I'm just gonna..uh go change" Emma said ackwardly and leaves quickly. When she returns she wearing her skinny jeans, a dark green blouse that brought out the green in her eyes, her hair was fell in loose curls down her back and shoulders, and she was just wearing a pair of socks it's her house she don't have to wear shoe's if she don't want to. She was saved from the uncomfortable tension by the sound of her door opening and saw her parents with baby neal in tow walk in followed by granny and ruby.
"Oh joy the scooby gang is all here" she mumbled to herself knowing only two people could hear her.
"Emma honey you look paler than usual are you ok?" Snow asked her daughter as she passed her husband their son and hugged their daughter.
"Just peachy" she replied and gave her dad a hug a neal a kiss on the cheek.
"Henry!" Regina shouted for her son so they could get this meeting started she wanted answers.
Everyone took seats in the living room and looked to the blonde to start the meeting. Emma was nervous she knew that her parents weren't gonna be happy and Henry was gonna be upset that she hadn't told him before this but she didn't want to have to repeat herself a hundred times so with small smiles from Ruby and Granny and a deep breath she began.
"Ok well I know you are all confused and.."Emma began but was interupted by her mother
"Emma honey you said this was a family meeting right?"Snow asked
"Yesss?"Emma waited for the question although she had a idea of what it was.
"well i understand why Regina is here but why are Ruby and Granny here?" Snow asked, seeing the hurt expression on Red's face she quickly added "I mean I just wasn't expecting them is all" Red and her are friends sure but she didn't understand why Emma would see them as family.
Emma felt sorry for Ruby and Granny, after everything they had done for her mother and be treated like this was bullshit but she knew her mother didn't see that. "Besides the fact that after everything they had done for the two of you to be considered family.."she paused, here we go she thought, "I'm a wolf like Ruby, we did a blood bond which means she and Granny are my family too." Emma blurted out
"Eloquent as always dear" Regina stated into the shocked silience of the room
