Chapter 15

(The Next morning..)

'What if she does get pregnant?' Zelena thought to herself. She couldn't stop thinking about this since last night's conversation. Without thinking she started rubbing her own stomach as she was looking out the widow of her room.

"What are you thinking about ?" Gold asker her as he came out of the bathroom after checking himself in the mirror. He noticed where her hand was and he knew she might be thinking about the past.

"B..ae.." Zelena let out the name so slowly as if it was not to be spoken.

This was what he was afraid of he didn't want to talk about 'Bae' he couldn't get over the guilt of losing their son. "Zelena please not now" Gold said breaking apart inside.

Zelena came over to him and hugged him. She wanted to be held right now which was what Gold did as he put his arms around her and try to provide his comfort to her. But what he heard got him to stop breathing for a while, "Regina might become pregnant." Zelena whispered in his ear as she pulled herself on her feet to look at Gold.

Gold had no words to say. This was very unexpected and new. "H-how?"

"Her and Robin slept together on their honeymoon night" Zelena said the obvious.

Gold straighten himself up and smiled a little. "That won't be very pleasing to Cora" he imagined. And he was right when he saw Zelena nodding.

"Sigh! I want a child too, Gold!" Zelena said with hope in her eyes. Gold has been against having another baby after what happened with 'Bae'. But she wanted to move from that even though it was painful to do so but she wanted to fill this empty void now.

"Zelena, w-w-we c-can't after what happened!" Gold still didn't want to. He didn't want to move on because he didn't know how.

"I know, I know it's hard to do this but we can't keep dwelling on the past. I want to have another child, Gold. Please I can't take this emptiness inside me anymore. I want to be a mother again" she pleaded with Gold. He looked at her and found that she was really serious and sincere about the thought of another child.

"Alright! I-I-I'll think about it" he was again embraced into another hug this time he couldn't help but smile into his wife's shoulder.

"REGINA! REGINA! COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW"

"Why is Cora yelling?" asked Gold as he looked at Zelena who looked confused as well.

"Lets go see what is the mater!" Zelena said following out of her room with Gold behind her. As her and Gold were about to go down the stairs she heard Regina's door unlock and open. She looked on the other side of the stairs and saw Regina come out of her room dressed in a casual red dress with her hair tied behind.

As all three of them got down the stairs and into the living room. Cora looked at them one by one until her stare stopped at Regina. "What took you so long? I was told that a maid had already informed you of to get ready to leave?" Cora asked Regina.

"I am sorry mother. It won't happen again" she didn't want her mother know that she just couldn't bring herself down so she just sat on her bed and kept thinking until she heard Cora yell her name.

"We need to leave right now. You can eat when we come back from the appointment" she had wasted enough time waiting for her.

"Surely you can let her eat something before you go dearie" Gold interrupted in.

"There is no need. We should leave already mother" Regina wanted to be away from another drama that might take place if she stayed longer.

The rest of the Mills family watched them go out of the mansion entrance and went to sit on the table to eat when they were out of eyesight.

(Em & Red)

"I miss New York already" Ruben whined out while they were having breakfast in the hotel.

"Don't worry, we are only here until this gets solved" Emmett encouraged. The food seemed to be okay here since both of them barely were eating much out of their plates.

"What if this doesn't get solved, Em?" Ruben wondered. He really didn't want to waste his time anymore. He missed Belle so much.

"You know you can call your girlfriend if you are going to whine like a little girl" Emmett laughed at his friends suffering.

"She's not my girlfriend!" he was full on blushing now so he covered his face so his Emmett couldn't see him like this.

"haha you better hurry before someone snatches her away from your charms" Emmett snickered. His friend was so easy to tease.

"Since when did you start making jokes Mr. Loveless" Ruben commented back.

"Is that what the girls at the office calling me now?" he asked in amusement.

"Well yeah, why wouldn't they? You barely have any love life. I mean how long has it been since you dated anyone?" It was now Ruben's turn to laugh at his friend.

When nobody said anything, he looked to his friend and saw that he was deep in thought. 'Lily?' he guessed.

"Are you thinking about her?... Lily ?" Ruben questioned out loud.

"We need to get ready!" 'He's trying to avoid talking about it again. How many times will you do this Em. But not today!'

"You can't avoid it forever Em" he pleaded with his friend to let him in, to let him know his pain.

"There is nothing to avoid Ruben. I told you and everyone else too I don't want to talk about her or even speak of her name but I think you forgot" Forgetting was hard but much better to do then to bother yourself with pain.

"Look man, I am sorry but not talking about it will only eat you alive. You know you can trust me so why won't you tell me what exactly happened with her" He wants to know more than 'I broke up with her' when clearly it was much more than that since there were so many differences in Emmett's behavior and activities. He started spending all his time in work, the only time he would be social would be when there are office meetings, and he stopped hanging out with his friends. He started spending more time at the office then at home with his parents. He was becoming workaholic after his break up with Lily as if trying to forget something.

"S-She CHEATED ON ME MAN!" grrrrr-groan "She was only with me for the money" low chuckle "I was going to propose to her the night I caught her cheating on me fucking some random dude on our bed in our apartment that we got together…" Emmett couldn't help but punch the wall at the images of his ex cheating.

"Shit man, I am so sorry"

"Ha…it doesn't matter anymore. I am just glad I didn't make the biggest mistake of my life by marrying her" they both smiled to each other a little at the comment.

"But you know just because your ex cheated on you doesn't mean you should stop dating other people" Ruben tried to cheer up his friend and his life.

"Enough with your shit Ruben we need to leave for Mills mansion" he reminded him.

"Yeah I know, lets go"
