A/N: I don't even know where to begin, I'M SORRY doesn't even seem to cover it! I can't apologise enough for not updating, it's been I think, like what 3 months, my god! All I can really say is that I had no creatively to get these chapters finished, this one was hard enough, but I plan to keep updating more often. I kinda played around with this chapter a little so it mightn't be the best! A long chapter to make up for my lack thereof! Please enjoy. Also Happy New Year!
"Belle" Regina said seriously as Emma banged the table and stood,
"You can't be serious" Emma growled,
"Just, hear me out" Belle said raising her hands, Emma looked at Regina who smiled, she sighed and sat back down, "What if Chip found Henry? What if they're together?" Belle said,
"How, prey tell, do you intend to find them?" Emma asked more harshly than she intended gaining glares from all three woman around the table, Emma sighed, "I'm sorry, it's just, the chance that Henry is still alive, it..it's hard to deal with" Emma said, Regina rested her hand over Emma's and squeezed,
"You think you can find them?" Regina said, Belle bit her lip and closed her eyes, "Henry was only a few months old, Chip not much older, how can you be sure they are together or that you can find them?"
"Well, we were hoping, that you could help us" Red said, Emma lifted her head and looked at Red, Red chuckeld, "you have a way of getting information out of people" Red said with a grin looking at Emma, Emma smiled proudly and Regina rolled her eyes,
"What do you propose?" Regina said,
"Blue" Red said, both Emma and Regina's eyes hardened and Regina's grip on Emma's hand tightened, Red gulped, maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
Fairytale Land
Dark Kingdom.
"Hit it again" Emma said, she was in the training grounds training the new recruits, Claude and Regina watching out of view,
"She's stressed" Regina said, Claude looked at her and raised an eyebrow, Regina rolled her eyes, "She's making them repeat the same move more than ten times, she does that when she is worried" Regina said as she caressed her very large bump,
"She is worrying about you my Queen" Claude said, he regretted his words quickly as his throat seemed to close over and he gasped for breath, Regina held her hand up and was chocking him with magic,
"Are you saying that this is my fault" Regina growled, Claude grasped at his throat and shook his head, Regina growled and let go, Claude doubled over trying to catch his breath,
"I…I was only" Claude rubbed his throat, " saying, that Emma is worrying about you and the baby my Queen, you know how she worries now that you are so close" Claude said, Regina looked to him and sighed,
"I am sorry Claude, it seems that our Prince or Princess likes messing with my emontions" Regina said with a smile as she stroked her stomach, "I know, she needs to get rid of her frustration" Reigna said as she watched Emma back hand a young boy who got a move wrong, "But I wish she wouldn't do it on my guard" Regina said with a growl before disappearing in a cloud of smoke,
"DO. IT. AGAIN" Emma hissed, "you are protecting the Queen, and if, you can't even get your training right, how can I let you protect her" Emma growled as she looked around her students who were now white as ghosts, Emma was slightly confused, she had given out to them before but they had never changed colour, unless, she smiled and turned, Regina was standing behind her, a raised eyebrow and a smirk evident on her face, Emma looked her up and down and growled, "You are dismissed" Emma said not even bothering to look over her shoulder, she strode over to Regina and wrapped her arms around her waist, her lips peppering Regina's neck and jaw in kisses,
"My love" Regina breathed out as she pushed on Emma's waist, Emma pulled back and looked at her, Regina motioned behind Emma with her eyes and Emma turned to see that her students, had not moved,
"I SAID DISMISSED" Emma roared and they scattered quicker than either woman imagined, Regina was chuckling and ran her hand through Emma's hair when she turned back around,
"Now, now my love" Regina said as she leaned in and kissed Emma's lips.
"She is alright?" Emma asked as Blue came out of the room she shared with Regina, she smiled at Emma and nodded,
"She is fine" Blue said with a smile,
"Thank you, you are just about the only person I trust from the White Kingdom" Emma said as she threw herself back into the armchair she was sitting in, Blue's smile fell slightly but she brought it back up.
"You can trust me Emma" Blue said, "I must go however, I need to insure that Nova isn't pinning after that dwarf" Blue said as with a small growl, "She will be fine, the baby will not be here for another two moons at least, but she must take it easy" Blue said as she patted Emma's arm before disappearing with a small blue pop, Emma stood and all but ran into their bed chamber, she stood in the doorway and watched as Regina looked out the window, her hand stroking her stomach,
"You must stop scaring me like this" Emma said, emotion evident in her voice, Regina turned her head slowly and smiled, she patted the space behind her and Emma ran to it, leaping onto the bed and wrapping herself around Regina,
"All is fine my love" Regina said as she ran her hand through Emma's hair,
"I was so worried" Emma said, Regina placed a kiss on her head,
"Worry not my love, I am fine, our baby is fine" Regina said as she brought Emma's hand and placed it on her growing stomach feeling the magic ripple beneath their joint hands, Red stood guard at the door, smiling, hoping that one day, she and Belle would be blessed with a pup of their own.
White Kingdom.
"What news Blue?" Snow asked when Blue appeared before Snow,
"She is near, before next month's full moon" Blue said,
"and Emma?" Snow asked,
"She is protective, but full of worry, her, pet, doesn't seem to leave her side" Blue said, "now that she trusts me, I feel like this may not work Snow" Blue said,
"Why do you think this? She trusts you, that is what we planned for" Snow spat,
"I know Snow, but Red, she doesn't stray from Emma's side, it will be hard to convince her" Blue said,
"Then you will get rid of her, my daughter will be brought back from the darkness" Snow said as she spun and looked out of the window into the kingdom that was crumbling by the day,
"As you wish" Blue said as left with a pop,
"LOCUS!" Snow shouted, a small man in a black coat jogged into the room, "See to it that Emma's room is prepared by nightfall"
"Majesty?" Locus said with a confused expression,
"Prepare her room, Emma will be returning shortly" Snow said, when Locus didn't move "NOW!" She shouted causing him to yelp and jump before tuning on his heels and running form the room, Locus was no Graham but he was as good as she could get.
Dark Kingdom – The Stables
"Red, I need you to do me a favour" Emma said as she polished her boots, she sat on a bale of hay, Red was pacing in front of her a knife gliding between her fingers,
"Anything" Red said as she stopped and stood before Emma,
"When we go into the market today, you must not leave my side" Emma said,
"Emma?" Red asked, sensing Emma's slight worry.
"Blue is not to be trusted" Emma said,
"I already know this Emma" Red said, "why do you still wish of her services when it comes to Regina and your baby?" Red said, Emma looked at her and grinned,
"Because it is not Regina she is tending to" Emma said with a chuckle,
"It isn't?" Red asked wide eyed,
"No it is not" a voice said from the door way, Red spun and her eyes went wide as they landed on her mate, Belle stood before her, a small bump visible beneath her dress.
"H..how?" Red asked turning back to Emma, Emma chuckled,
"Seems like the gods have granted your wish Red" Emma said, "Belle has been so kind as to let Regina glamour her" Emma explained,
"But can't Blue sense magic?" Red asked as she stepped closer to Belle, slowly, her eyes never leaving her stomach,
"Only some" Regina's voice came from the door, "it is old magic, glamouring leaves traces, but only where the glamouring has taken place" Regina explain as she patted Belle on the shoulder before walking over to Emma who wrapped her arms around her waist from behind, her hands landing on her growing belly, "which is why it is done in your chambers" Regina explained,
"That is why you've been on edge lately my darling" Belle said as she walked up to Red and grabbed her hand placing it on her small but still visible bump,
"How long have you know"? Red asked her eyes never leaving her hand that was on Belle's stomach,
"Two moons" Belle said with a smile, Red looked at her,
"Why did you not tell me?" Red asked,
"You have been worried about Emma and keeping her and Regina and their baby safe, I didn't want you worrying about me too" Belle said as she reached up and ran her hand through Red's hair causing her to purr lightly,
"Worrying about the people I love is my job" Red said as she moved her hands to Belle's back and pulled her close, "You are with child" Red whispered, Belle smiled and nodded, "my child?" Red said, Belle smiled and nodded again, this time Red smiled and lifted Belle spinning her, "We are to have a baby" Red said through a laugh as she spun and spun before she fell onto a bale of hay, Belle falling on top of Red, "I love you" Red whispered, Belle smiled,
"I love you too" Belle whispered back leaning down and kissing Red, Red hummed and ran her hands through Belle's hair, a throat clearing broke them apart, both blushing as Regina and Emma looked at them Regina with her eyebrow raised and Emma with a smirk on her face,
"Sorry" Red muttered as she lifted Belle into her arms and stood up, she didn't set Belle down.
"As happy as I am for both of you, we have a small problem we must address" Regina said with a smile, Belle nodded and kissed Red's temple before sliding from her arms, Red and Belle walked over to Regina who smiled waved her hands, they all appeared in the war room,
"Blue believes that I trust her" Emma began, "therefore we must assume that Snow knows of Regina's birth date" Emma said,
"You believe that Snow will plan an attack?" Red asked,
"I am certain of it" Emma said, "even after everything she still believes that Regina is keeping me here without my consent" Emma said, she chuckled when all three women rolled their eyes, "therefore we must assume that she will plan an attack around the time if not on the day our child is to be supposedly born" Emma said,
"But if Belle has been Regina then isn't the date not for a while"? Red asked,
"Yes and No, when we glamoured Belle, she took on all of Regina's appearances, including her pregnancy" Emma began, "the only difference was that Belle was also pregnant and therefore it took Belle's pregnancy instead of Regina's" Emma said with a smile,
"But..that day when Regina's fainted, that was Belle?" Red asked as she looked from Belle to Emma, to Regina and then back to Emma,
"Yes and No" Emma said, Red looked at her and Emma chuckled,
"Regina when Blue was in the room, was Belle, however once she left it was Regina" Emma said, Red looked at her, "I would not think of taking your mate from you Red, I assure you, Regina was Regina" Emma said,
"She is right my love, Regina magiced me back to our chambers before Emma entered, I didn't want to tell you in case something where to happen before I was sure that we were going to have a baby" Belle said, Red looked at her and smiled,
"We're having a baby" Ruby said looking at Belle with wide love filled eyes, Belle smiled and nodded and yelped when Ruby lifted her and spun her for a second time, Regina and Emma looking on smiling, both women's hands caressing Regina's bump.
Storybrooke.
Emma growled as she shoved Red up against the kitchen counter, pinning her against it with her arm across the wolfs neck,
"EMMA!" Regina and Belle both shouted as they moved to pull Emma back but the low growl stopped them,
"You are suggest using the flying butterfly after EVERYTHING she did to us?" Emma hissed out, Red pushed against Emma, Emma maybe a Dark Knight, the most powerful and strongest of all, but Red was a wolf, her strength out weighted that of Emma and she reversed their positions, not putting her arm on Emma's neck instead pushing against her shoulders,
"She was the one that banished them to this land, with Snow's help, she will know where we can find them" Red said as she let go of Emma, Emma growled, not taken her eyes off Red, Red just smiled at her sadly, knowing that she too lost a child at the hands of Blue, Regina and Belle stood to the side and watch as both their loves came to terms with what would have to be done.
Somewhere in New York
"What is it Henry?" Chip asked his big brother who had stopped suddenly, Henry looked around not sure why he suddenly stopped, ever since he can remember Chip and him have been in foster care, they were living with a rather nice family in New York but Henry always knew there was something else to his past.
"I'm not sure kid, but I've a feeling we'll soon find out" Henry said smiling at his little brother, who was only a year younger than him, he was in fact only a few months but Chip was rather small and Henry rather tall for their ages. Chip looked up at Henry and smiled before pulling him along,
"We gotta get home, I want dinner" Chip said as he started to run, Henry happily being pulled along behind his little brother.
