Chapter 3
"She has not gone mad," Jefferson argued as he and Merlin walked to Merlin's car. It was a typical Friday morning for them, they woke up, worked out and now they were leaving breakfast.
"What show are you watching?! Daenerys is not to be trusted," Merlin argued back.
"Bro she's misunderstood!"
Merlin chuckled, "Yeah, whatever."
"I'm serious, she—AH! Fuck," Jefferson groaned as a bullet grazed his arm and another bullet hit his left leg.
"Get down!"
Jefferson leaped onto the ground as the car sped past shooting at both of them, one of the shooters stuck his head out of the window, "Message from Gold!"
Merlin wasn't hit so he grabbed his gun out of his car and stood in the middle of the street shooting back at the car. He shot out their back windshield and one of their tires. Jefferson tugged on him as the police came, they both got into Merlin's car and sped off before the police could arrive. Merlin drove as fast as he could to their garage. When they arrived, he hopped out and drug Jefferson inside, "Emma! Graham! Somebody! Help!"
Ruby rushed over, "Oh my god, What happened?"
"Get a towel," he said, "Hurry up!"
Emma and Graham came out from the backroom, laughing. Graham was the first to notice a bleeding Jefferson on the floor, "Jeff!"
Emma ran over after, "Who did this?"
"Gold, do you think Hades knows he's making moves without him? They just pulled up on us, Emma," Merlin said panting.
"Hades will certainly find out," Graham frowned as he grabbed his jacket, "I'm going to see Hades."
"Not alone you're not," Emma said quickly.
"I won't be alone. Merlin, Let's go," he said before storming out.
Jefferson groaned loudly as Ruby used a towel to apply pressure on the gun wound on his leg, "There's too much blood, we need to get him to a hospital!"
He panicked, "No!"
"Take one of my cars and take him to North Western Hospital, ask for Dr. Jekyll specifically. Do not let him see anyone else," Emma said as she helped Jefferson up. When Ruby pulled the car around Emma helped him into it, "I love you Jeff, you'll be okay."
"Love you too," he breathed, "I want to race Emma."
"You will, Saturday we all race, you'll be fine. I promise," she smiled.

Emma smoothed her ponytail back and took a deep breath before walking into Belfrey Inc. She walked onto the elevator and traveled to the third floor. When she stepped out of the elevator, she looked around, nothing had changed. She slowly walked to the office at the end of the hall, shook off her nerves and knocked on the door. When the soft voice said that Emma could enter, she walked in, "Hey, we need to talk."
Ivy Belfrey widened her eyes to the blonde in front of her, "What? Why? I thought we had an understanding. Sit, if you must."
Emma sat down and leaned back in the chair, "I think our understanding should change into a new understanding. Henry needs his mother."
The beautiful brunette sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, "We agreed that it was best that you keep Henry and raise him."
"Yeah but that was when you were 18, Ivy. You're not 18 anymore, you have a comfy job working for you mom. He needs a mother. I need help," she stated.
"I don't want a kid Emma, my mother would never let me near him. Henry is better off without me, I don't know the first rule about being a mom," she explained.
"Look, my birthday is tomorrow. I need you to keep him for me. I can pick him up first thing Sunday morning," Emma sighed.
"No, absolutely not. Emma, don't force him on me," Ivy scoffed.
"God damn it, Ivy. He's your son. You can't be serious right now. I deserve a day to myself. I have no one else to take care of him," she frowned.
"He's your son. Do you know how awkward it'd be? Some random chick having him for the whole weekend?"
"Don't pull that Ivy, he knows who you are. You've met a few times. He's very very smart. He knows you're his mother, he'd be fine," Emma said.
"Yeah but I was getting attached so I pulled back. That's not good for me. I am a socialite, I like to travel, have fun, party, do whatever I want. Not watch a kid, I like vacations," she shrugged.
"Yeah, well I haven't had a vacation in five years, how ironic. You know what, go to hell, Ivy. You're right, he doesn't need you," Emma said before standing up, "...I don't know what happened to you or what drug your mother pushed down your throat but you used to have a soul, Ivy. You used to be fun, smart and sexy as hell."
"Yeah well look at me now, I have everything that I want and so do you. You're rich Emma, take our son to Disney World for crying out loud. Hm, maybe that's it, maybe you're in my office, insulting me because you're miserable. Loneliness, it's a terrible thing," she smirked, "You're still hot, by the way, we could still have fun babe."
"I am not lonely," she scoffed, "Thank you for the compliment but I think I'll get the fuck out of your office."
"Come back when you're ready to hook up again and when you do…," she licked her lips, "Bring condoms," she winked.
"Fuck you, Ivy," Emma said before walking out of her babymama's office.
"Happy Birthday," Ivy said before blowing a kiss. When Emma left, Ivy opened the locket around her neck, she smiled at the baby picture of Henry, "I'm sorry," she whispered before kissing it, closing it back and sniffling her tears away. There was another knock on her door, "C-Come in."
Victoria Belfrey walked in with worried eyes, "Security tells me that Emma Swan was just on the premises, why?"
"She came to talk to me," Ivy shrugged.
"Why?"
"Mother, that's our business—"
"Why?!"
"About our son!"
"Oh, you foolish girl, the boy is not important, I told you that. Emma Swan is scum darling. What would my colleagues think if they knew that my genius, beautiful, brilliant daughter had a child at 18, out of wedlock, with some freak of nature? I won't have it, sweetheart," she sat down on Ivy's desk, "I think I'm done buying from her as well, I've found a new buyer, his name is Mr. Gold, I meet with him for lunch today, would you like to come?"
"No, thank you. I think I'll stay here," she replied while playing with her locket. Victoria watched before snatching it off of her neck, "Mother!"
"Old and tarnishing, similar to your relationship with Emma Swan, don't you think?"
Ivy teared up, "Mother, please. Give it back. I'll stay away from them, I promise, just give it back."
"You've promised this before but yet that disgusting thing was here!"
"Mother, you don't know her. She's harmless—"
"She's a freak!"
"She loved me!"
Victoria smacked her, "Enough! Now, my sweet child, I think it's time for your antidepressants."
Ivy quickly shook her head, "Please Mother, no more pills."
"Shhh," she pulled Ivy into her arms, "I'm going to make sure you forget about that mean ole, Emma Swan."
•••
Graham and Merlin pulled up to The Underworld, a restaurant on the Northside that Hades owned. Graham looked at Merlin, "Tuck your gun well, their going to try to search us."
Merlin nodded and sighed, "I'm ready."
"Let's do it," Graham said before getting out and walking into the restaurant and going over to the bar.
The bartender walked over with a soft smile, "I'm Hercules, I'll be serving you today. What can I get for ya?"
"A meeting with your uncle," Merlin said.
Hercules raises his eyebrows, "Oh," he nodded, "Follow me," he said before walking back into the kitchen with them following, he led them to an elevator and stepped onto it with them, "If you have guns, dump 'em now."
"We're clean," Graham lied.
"Good," Hercules said as they stepped off the elevator.
Merlin looked around, a kingpin lair, indeed. There were naked women, weighing and bagging drugs, a few guys working on cars, a table loaded with guns, and then there was Hades, on his throne, watching it all. They stopped in front of him, "Good afternoon."
Hades stood and walked over to them, "Thank you nephew, you may go," he sighed, "Well well, if the Dark Swan could see you now, oh but wait, let me guess. She's the one that sent you in the first place."
"No sir, we've come on our own," Graham said, "Sir, Gold put a hit out on our whole crew. I came here to make sure that you knew."
"Oh is that so? Hm, in that case...SEARCH THEM!"
Two men came over and searched Graham and Merlin. Graham sighed when the one guy pulled out Merlin's gun and handed it to Hades. Merlin bit the inside of his jaw nervously.
"You came here to kill me?"
"No sir, of course not. He is just paranoid because we were shot at this morning by Gold's boys," Graham stated.
"Oh I see," Hades nodded before sitting back down on his throne, "So you say Gold has been going behind my back?"
"Yes sir, he sent Neal to spy on us then sent shooters this morning," Merlin said.
"He's doing exactly what I told him to do," Hades smirked.
Graham's eyes widened. He had just walked him and Merlin into a death trap. He swallowed, "You want us dead?"
"Oh no no no," he chuckled, "Actually, it's quite the opposite. I want you alive and racing but see Emma, Emma bothers me. She's like a little fly at the picnic. If you come to my race territory every single weekend and not race, I get bothered. If you fund other racers, racing money, I get bothered. If you stab one of my boys, I get bothered. See the pattern here? You and your crew don't like to follow my rules so I react."
"You're missing what's happening under your own nose because you're so worried about us," Merlin mumbled.
"I didn't quite catch that," Hades snapped.
"Gold is trying to take your throne. He's trying to oversee all of this shit. He has his own shooters, his own racers and his own plan but that does bother you? He's playing you man, he's just using your hatred for Emma to blind you. He's wants to kill Emma," he replied.
"No, we simply enjoy scaring you. You stab us, we shoot you," he shrugged.
"You aren't listening," Graham said.
"Because you're wrong. Gold works for me, that's the end of it," Hades frowned, "You two are boring me, by all means, leave. You're breathing, tell the Dark Swan to consider this a truce."
The next day Regina pulled up to Maleficent's condo, she fluffed her hair before getting out of her car. She used her key to enter the building. She was having a rather chill Friday, she had finished her classes early and decided to spend time with Maleficent to keep her suspicions low. When she entered the condo, she immediately regretted it. She could hear faint moaning and the bed rocking lightly. She was being cheated on, again. Great. She swallowed and walked to Mal's room. She pushed the door open and frowned at the site of her "girlfriend" fucking Ursula from the back with her strap on. Ursula had her head thrown back moaning. Maleficent was watching her ass move in fascination. Both of them oblivious to Regina's presence.
Regina cleared her throat, "Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt but…"
Mal quickly pulled out of Ursula and threw the covers over her, "Baby," she said getting out of bed.
"I want her out," Regina said as calmly as she could. She didn't really care that Maleficent was cheating because it only pushed her away more. Maleficent would have no one left to blame but herself.
"Ursula go, hurry up," Mal said as she took off her strap on, "Regina I—"
"Stop," she said as her eyes followed Ursula all the way out of the condo. She then looked at Maleficent, "I'd love to hear your pathetic excuse."
"You keep turning me down," Mal sighed.
"I haven't been the mood lately, so what?"
"So Ursula is," she shrugged causing Regina to walk out of her bedroom, "Baby, Stop. No. Don't leave. I'm sorry."
"That's the thing though, you're not!"
"If I say I'm sorry, then that's what it is! Can I talk to you? Please? I need you," Mal said.
"What do you want?"
"I'm going out of town tonight with my crew—"
"With Ursula?"
"Baby she's a member of my team—"
"So kick her out," she scoffed.
"No."
"No?"
"No Regina, she's basically family. Listen, I need you to watch my condo. Our new bed arrives tomorrow and I need you here to sign off on it," she told her girlfriend.
"Oh our new bed? Do you plan on fucking Ursula in this new bed too?"
She shook her head, "It's just for me and you. I love you."
Regina smacked Maleficent, "I'm done," she said before storming out.
Maleficent rubbed her cheek, she didn't have time to go after her so she let go, this time. She knew getting her back would be easy so she decided to go shower and worry about that later.
•••
"He will be fine," Merida assured as she looked at Henry playing with her brothers.
"They're only 16," Emma worried.
"They'll look after him, I promise. He's familiar enough with them, I'd say. Look, he's laughing," she nudged Emma.
"I don't know about this Merida, I'll just take him and go. I'll cancel my dinner for tonight," she sighed as her phone began to ring, she picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hi, It's Ivy," she said, "I've been thinking about what you said all day. Henry can stay with me for the weekend. You were right, you deserve a decent birthday."
"A-Are you serious?"
"As a heart attack, I've already spoken to mother about it and she said that this can be my test," Ivy glances at her mother who nodded and urged her on, "Yeah so, drop him off. You remember where we live right?"
"Yeah, of course. Thank you, Ivy. This will be good for the both of you," Emma smiled, "We're on our way," she said before hanging up. She looked at Merida, "His mother said she wants to keep him."
"Sounds good. I hope he has fun," Merida smiled.
•••
Regina sighed as she entered her apartment. She smiled to herself at the normality of it, it was a typical Friday night. Her friends were running around getting dressed for a night out but something was different. Her friend were dressed up rather nicely, not in their usual club attire. She walked to Ariel's room, "You look beautiful, hot date?"
"Um no not exactly, Emma's birthday dinner. Her birthday is tomorrow but their racing so we're doing dinner tonight. She invited Belle and I to thank us for saving her ass," Ariel said as she focused on putting her earrings on.
Regina was taken aback a bit, "Wait, she didn't invite me?"
"She said she knew you'd say no so why bother," Ariel shrugged.
"She actually said that? Ugh, I don't want to go anyway," Regina rolled her eyes and walked out. When she reached her room there a beautiful red gown lying on her bed with a note, she gasped lightly and picked it up to read it, "I don't want to celebrate my birthday without you. Hope Ariel wasn't too hard on you," Regina chuckled before calling out, "Fuck you Ariel!"
Belle walked in Regina's room in a sparkling gold skirt and a gold crop top to match, "Do I look hot?"
"Wow bookworm, you look good," she chuckled.
"Thanks, I want to get somebody's attention. Anyone's attention would be nice," she sighed.
"Hey, you'll find your guy...or girl," Regina said lifting her friends chin, "I promise."
"Thanks," she smiled, "Hurry up and get dressed, we wouldn't want to be late."
•••
Emma laughed and sipped her champagne, "That's not exactly how the story went."
"Oh yes it is," Graham chuckled, "Listen Emma is a fucking liar, don't believe a word she says."
The blonde gasped before laughing. Ruby laughed as well. She knew Graham was only playing about Emma. She loved listening to their old stories about high school but what she loved most was that she was sitting next to Emma at her birthday dinner. Emma could've had any woman by her side but she chose Ruby for the night or so she thought. Ruby sighed when she saw Ariel and Belle walk over to the dinner table.
Emma smile, "Hey, thanks for coming."
"Of course, we wouldn't miss this. Happy Birthday," Ariel smiled as they sat down.
"Hey," Graham said before kissing her.
Merlin eyes widened, "So is this a thing now?"
"We like to believe so," Belle chuckled before looking up from the menu as Graham gave Merlin the finger. When she saw him, she blushed, "Hi."
He smiled softly, "Hi, I'm Merlin."
"Belle," she smiled back.
He glanced at her one last time before sipping his champagne, someone caught his eye and he nearly choked on his drink, "E-Emma."
The blonde raised a questionable eyebrow to him before turning around. She sucked in a breath when she saw Regina walk in wearing a long red dress that showed the right about of cleavage and all of her back out. Emma licked her lips staring at her, Ruby smacked her arm, "You're drooling."
"Sorry, I'm late," Regina said as she swayed over to the table flipping her hair, "Are you going to stand and greet me properly, Swan?"
"Uh yeah yeah, of course," she stood and hugged Regina with a smile, "Thanks for coming."
Regina hugged back inhaling her scent, "You're welcome. Happy Birthday," she said pulling back handing her a gift box.
"Oh this is a present? Wow," she looked at everyone else, "Y'all could take notes."
Graham flipped them off and sipped his champagne. Regina laughed, "I hope you like it."
"I'll love it, I'm sure. Ruby, go sit by Jefferson please," Emma said.
Ruby scoffed and moved out of the seat giving Regina a death glare, she was surprised when Regina winked at her before flipping her hair and sitting down next to Emma, "I love their steak, have you tried it?"
Emma shrugged, "No, we haven't ordered yet. Should I get it?"
"Steak and lobster for the birthday girl," the brunette nodded.
"Why don't you order for me?"
"Can do," Regina blushed before pouring heralded some champagne, she looked at Ariel, "To fall break," she held up her glass.
Ariel and Belle giggles and held up their glasses, "To two weeks off," Ariel said.
"To sleeping all day," Belle added before they toasted.
"Let's order and eat, I'm starving," Jefferson said.
Halfway through the night, Regina took a trip to the bathroom. When she came out of her stall, she began washing her hands. Ruby came out of a stall and began to do the same thing. She cleared her throat, "You don't know her, ya know?"
"Excuse me?"
"You think you can walk in here with your fancy gift, your breast all in her face and make her fall for you but you can't. You don't know her," Ruby stated.
Regina furrowed her eyebrows, "I'm sorry, dear and you are? You don't know me or my intentions. I don't have to use my breast to get her attention because I already have it," she shrugged, "Plus, she's single so if I want her, I'll have her."
"It's not that simple. Emma doesn't need a girl like you, she needs someone who will ride for her. There's a lot of things that you don't know and I won't have you distracting her," she replied.
"Oh so let me guess, you're the only distraction she's allowed to have? Ah, I see. Well here's a tip, close your legs and open her mind then maybe just maybe, she won't ask you to get out of your seat for another woman but hey Queens are born, not built," Regina smirked lightly before walking out of the bathroom.
When dinner was over Regina and her friends started walking to their car, Emma was outside sitting on the hood of her car laughing at something Merlin said. Ruby rubbed Emma's shoulders, "My place or yours?"
"Huh?"
"What? You don't want birthday sex?"
"I do. I'm just not ready to go to bed, it's my birthday and I'm kid free, let me enjoy it. You can go home if you want and wait on me," Emma said.
"Well um actually I was thinking we could take a walk by the lake," Ruby said.
Graham, Jefferson, and Merlin laughed. Emma snickered, "For what?"
"To talk," she sighed.
"Nah I'm good," Emma chuckled, "Go home, I'll be there later."
Ruby rolled her eyes before walking off to her car. Graham shook his head, "You're terrible."
"What? I can't want to be with you guys a little longer? What if I wanted to go to the club and take a few girls home? I can't do that with her breathing down my neck," Emma sighed, "I wonder what Regina is doing tonight…"
Merlin smirked, "You like her…"
"Yeah, So? She's gorgeous and smart, she's a challenge," she shrugged.
"She's also Mal's girl Emma, too much liability," Jefferson said.
"Fuck Mal, I want Regina. I'll get her," Emma stated.
•••
"Okay mister, that's enough. It's time for bed," Ivy chuckled.
"Aw man but we're having fun," Henry pouted.
"I know but it's after 10pm. Your mother will kill me once she finds out," she replied.
"Can I stay up just a little longer Ivy, please?"
Ivy looked at the puppy dog eyes and the cute little pout the sighed, "10 more minutes."
"Yay! Thank you," he began jumping on Ivy's bed, laughing.
She smiled watching him, "I'll be right back," she said before getting up and leaving out of her room. She began walking towards the kitchen when she heard her mother on the phone.
Victoria was cleaning the kitchen with her phone on speaker, assuming Ivy was upstairs, "So when will I get my money?"
"When you bring me the boy," Gold sneered.
"I'll have to pry him out of my daughters hands but it shall be done. Remember, my name stays out of it," she stated.
"Yes yes, of course. Make sure he's asleep, I don't want him rowdy. Hades won't tolerate it," he replied.
"I've got this. Goodnight," she said before hanging up.
Ivy swallowed, she heard everything. She was hiding behind a wall. Her mother never wanted to give her the proper chance to be a mother, to be in Henry's life. It was all a scheme to get Henry to Gold and Hades. The brunette was infuriated, she quietly made her way back upstairs and shut her room door, locking it. Henry was knocked out in her bed, she chuckled to herself, he must've wore himself out. Ivy got into bed and held him tight. She couldn't let her mother take her baby, even if she, herself, didn't want him.
•••
Regina unlocked the door to her apartment with a sigh. After dinner they went to the club, they arrived home at 2am. Ariel groaned when she walked in, "What are you doing here?"
Regina turned around and saw Mal sitting on the couch. She flicked on the light and saw the rest of Mal's crew. So this is how she wants to do this? Okay. She thought before asking, "Why are you here?"
"You thought I wouldn't come back from out of town after hearing that you went out with Emma Swan?"
"Maleficent, I don't care what you heard. Get out. I am done with you, indefinitely," Regina stated.
"You're not done with me until I say so! You know what? Grab them," she said before her friends grabbed Regina's friends.
Regina gasped, "No. Let them go Mal."
Mal smirked as Belle and Ariel struggled, "Okay so let's try this again, you will he continue to be with me, you will no longer speak to or see Emma Swan. The end, do you understand?"
"No, I'm done. I'm tired of this, let them go," Regina said before pushing Mal, only to be struck down to the floor. Ariel squirmed out of Cruella's grip only to be snatched up again and have a gun pressed to her head. Regina looked at Mal, "This isn't you, don't do this."
Mal picked Regina up and kissed her forehead, "You know what you have to do…"
Regina cringed, Belle scoffed, "Don't worry about us Regina, you don't have to do anything that you don't want to. We have somebody to protect us now."
Maleficent laughed, "Swan? She doesn't give a shit about any of you. I'll kill you right now, it's easy."
"Don't. Let them go and I'll go home with you. We can discuss our future," Regina sighed.
"No, we'll discuss it now. You all will attend the race tomorrow, as my guest. Regina, you'll be on my arm, as my girlfriend and you'll stop breaking up with me. You can't leave me, I own you," she smirked.
Regina glanced at Ariel who gave her a nod, she sighed and smirked, "No."
"No? I'll kill your friends if you don't, you know I'm not bluffing," Mal frowned.
Ariel looked at the door, "Guys, you can come in now."
Graham and Merlin walked into their apartment. Graham looked at Maleficent, "We'll take it from here."
Merlin and him quickly knocked out Cruella and Tamara, Mal's minions. Graham placed Maleficent in a headlock, "I'm not letting them go, so either let me go and leave or die with them," she gritted.
"Sorry love, I don't take orders from you. Glad Ariel called when she did though because killing you will be fun," he gripped tighter beginning to choke her. Regina and her friends darted to Regina's room, feeling safe at last.
Mal gasped, "Speaking of the birthday girl, where is she? Too scared to face me herself?"
"I thought you'd never ask," he chuckled and let go of her neck causing her to drop to the ground and gasp for air.
Emma walked through the front door with an annoyed look on her face, "Geez, I can't even enjoy my birthday without you finding a way to ruin it huh? Get up," she told Mal before kicking her, "I said get up!"
Maleficent quickly stood nose to nose with Emma, "Hades won't let us race if we fight so I guess I'll just have to kill you, that way it won't matter."
"I'd love to see you try," Emma smirked, "I'm starting to like this apartment, it's cozy. Regina's room has the best WiFi signal."
Maleficent couldn't stop the growl that escaped her, "You don't want to do this Swan, you don't want to go to toe to toe with me. Not over a girl, it's not your style. You're trying to throw me off my game so you can win tomorrow but I'm smarter than that. Regina's mine and she'll always be mine."
"Okay," Emma shrugged, "Just take your friends and leave. You're right, I won't fight you over her but I damn sure want my money so go home and rest up because tomorrow I take everything from you."
"Well if you're so sure, let's up the ante," Maleficent shrugged.
"Again?"
She looked at Merlin, "Yes, again. Now there's lets say $4 million on the table. Would you all be so cocky?"
"We can race for $4 million if you stay away from Regina and her friends. No harm can come to them, just shoo fly," Emma waved.
"Deal, I can't wait to kick your ass then come home and fuck my girlfriend," Mal smirked.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night," the blonde snickered, "Goodnight, wake up your friends. Tomorrow, we race."
