A/N: Boo-yah! Hah. You thought that I did reveal on the previous chapter. Hah! I'm serious. This chapter does reveal a truth and I'm not stalling at this time. I love to tease my readers. ;-D Enjoy it!
"I have something to tell you"
Regina stared into the jade eyes and almost held her breath. Henry ignored his food by watching his blonde mother who was struggling to tell Regina about him and kept glancing over at the brunette mayor. Emma fidgeted her fork on her plate to play with her dessert. They had a chocolate lava cake.
The blonde diva glimpsed into her son's watchful look and gulped. Regina tilted her head and spoke. It made Emma to look back at her with a wistful smile.
"What is it, Em-ma?" Emma felt the butterflies in her stomach every time Regina called her name since her high school days. She ignored Graham all the times when Regina was with him on their relationship.
"Don't be mad at me. I know you well. So, now it's time to tell you a truth. Regina… You just met my son over there who is having his shit-eating grin."
"Yes, he is a handsome boy. What about him?"
"He is…" Henry reached his neck to get closer at his blonde mother with his curiosity. He felt his nerves to get anxious when it came to him. He swallowed a lump in his throat and waited.
"Your son too, Regina." Emma nailed a coffin and tried to step backward when it came to the brunette mayor. Regina looked completely blanked when she heard her saying that statement and asked her again.
"Henry is my what?"
"I'm your son too. So surprise!" Henry said with a nervous chuckle and got a mild glare from Emma. Regina slowly looked back at him and found herself analyzing on the facial features. Henry has her lips, eyebrows and even the brown hair too. On other side, he looked like a half of her and Emma too.
Emma sipped her wine and looked back and forth at Regina and her son. The brunette mayor looked back at her and decided to get up then gathered her plate back to the kitchen. It floored Henry and Emma at same time and they looked at each other. He nodded his chin with a glare. It made her to get up and go after her.
She entered the kitchen and went startled when the wine glass was splattered on the beige wall beside her. Regina gave her a stink eye and started to get angry at her. Emma didn't except it to be happened right now but her son was in other room. She was concerned about her well-being since Regina got mad at her for not telling her that she had a son. Emma understood how she felt but went sad.
"You! Why!? For ten fucking years, you held a secret away from me and tell me that I have a son with you. What the fuck!?"
Emma nodded with a sad smile but ducked when the chocolate cake was thrown across her. In other room, Henry heard the brunette mayor's voice and winced at a sharp tone. He sighed and decided to gather himself to be outside. Henry knew that sharp tone and it got him outside when it happened to his blonde mother in her anger mode. He texted his mom by informing her that he took a walk around the mansion for a while.
The blonde actress tried to have a conversation with Regina but heard her phone pinging by a text. She looked down at her phone and found out that her son was smarter enough to get outside of the house when Regina was angry with her.
"Regina, calm down. We will have more conversations like this one but I won't talk while you are in your anger mode."
"I don't give a fuck! Tell me why!? I demand you right now."
"I knew that Henry is your son since he was born in my arms. I regret what I did without letting you know that we have a child together. So, you didn't hear my whole truth."
"Explain." Regina sneered. Emma sighed and sat down on the breakfast stool to face Regina who was leaning against the sink with her crossed arms on her chest.
"Remember that night after Neal's graduation party?"
"Yes I remember. You left quickly."
"So, I did and traveled to New York City for work then one month later, I got morning sickness and decided to have a check-up with my doctor. I was pregnant with him at this time and I didn't know when or what happened. I had no idea. I dated few people before you and after you."
"So, what's next?"
"Moved to Los Angeles for the films after Broadway plays and resided there until Henry was born. I recognized his face and realized that it was you. I was baffled but shocked. So, I asked the doctor to test him with DNA evidence. And your DNA was in his. I figured it out from the beginning and the end. I found out that you and I had that. Yes, Henry Daniel Swan-Mills is your child."
Regina was floored when it came to his name. She blinked and shook her head to clear her mind. Emma waited and interwove her fingers on the marble kitchen counter. The brunette mayor pinched her nose and continued.
"Swan-Mills?"
"Yes. I put his name on the birth certificate and everything else. I couldn't put him on the name of Nolan. It sounds ridiculous to me but he is obviously our son with our last names. If you don't want to be his other parent, I understand. I will give you a time to think about it. I think it's time for me to go back with him on the way home. I mean, my parents' house. So, thank you for dinner."
Emma stepped in Regina's personal space and gave her a kiss on her cheek then left with Henry. He was outside in the hallway and waited for his blonde mother. He felt that it was dark enough to walk back to his grandparents' place. Emma gathered them away for a long walk. It left Regina alone in the messy kitchen since she threw the wine glass and chocolate cake on the wall and a kitchen door behind the dining room.
It's full of shock and surprise for her to see Henry was a huge difference in her life.
