"Mom?", Henry called out as he walked down the stairs. He was met by said mother who had just walked out of the kitchen.
"Yes Henry?"
"Have you heard from mom? She was supposed to get me ten minutes ago, and when I try to call her, she won't pick up her phone", he said and Regina furrowed her eyebrows. It was Friday and that meant that it was Emma's turn to have Henry over for the weekend. And despite her lack of timing any other days, she was always on time to pick up their son. So this certainly made Regina worried.
"Wait a minute", she said and walked back to the kitchen taking her phone. She tried to call Emma's phone, but just like with Henry, the phone went to voicemail and she groaned before putting the phone down.
"Alright. Stay here, I'll go over and make sure she's alright. If I haven't called you within thirty minutes, call David", she said and Henry nodded. Regina smiled at him and kissed his head before walking to the door.
"It's okay. It's going to be okay", she said and Henry nodded obviously worried for his blonde mother. Regina walked out of the house in her jacket and drove off towards the light blue house. Once there she almost ran out of the car and towards the house. Once at the front door she knocked on the door softly. When she didn't receive an answer she sighed and knocked a little harder. Not receiving yet another answer she sighed and tried to open the door, surprisingly finding it open.
"Emma?", she called out once she was inside and before she could call out the woman again, she heard something break upstairs and she instantly ran upstairs.
"Emma?!"
She ran to the bedroom, but it was empty. Suddenly a sound from the bathroom caught her attention and she ran to the room discovering Emma at the toilet and a broken glass on the floor. Regina sighed and brought the blondes hair back. Once Emma was done, she looked up at the brunette receiving a sad smile in return.
"Hey", Regina whispered and Emma smiled back.
"I'm sorry", the blonde apologised, but Regina simply shook her head as she helped Emma up.
"Don't apologies. You obviously don't feel very good right now, so you don't have to apologise", she said and Emma smiled at the woman.
"Thank you", she said and Regina chuckled as she helped the blonde in bed.
"Now. I'm gonna call Henry and tell him that everything is fine", she said and Emma looked up at her.
"Tell him I love him", she said and Regina couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes.
"You're not dying miss Swan", she said before calling Henry. Emma rolled her own eyes and laid back in the bed waiting for Regina to finish the call. She needed to tell her. She deserved to know.
"Gina", she whispered trying to get the brunette's attention, and said brunette looked at her like she was indeed dying.
"Gina", she tried again and Regina held her hand to her other ear.
"Yes Henry. You'll stay home with me until tomorrow if Emma is better by then. And... Emma says she loves you and she's very sorry. Alright. I'll see you at home. Bye"
"Gina", Emma said for the third time and Regina sighed and turned to her friend.
"Emma. What's going on? Where's Hook?", she asked and Emma sighed and took a deep breath.
"He's probably at his ship, drinking off his ass", she said and Regina furrowed her eyebrows.
"Why? Why is he not here taking care of you?", she asked in anger and Emma closed her eyes, feeling a headache coming. She opened her mouth to answer but nothing came out. How was she going to tell her? Regina could easily see the hesitation and sighed.
"Wait here, I'll go clean up the glass and get another glass with water for you. After you can tell me what's going on", she said and before Emma could protest, the woman was already gone and the blonde admitted defeat. She sighed and laid back down closing her eyes. Once Regina was done cleaning up, and made Emma a cup of coffee, she walked back upstairs only to discover the woman asleep in the bed. She sighed and placed the cup on the nightstand before walking out of the bedroom, closing the door carefully behind her. She took her phone and called Henry, hoping he would answer.
"Hey mom, what's up?", he asked obviously worried and Regina couldn't love their son more than she already did.
"Henry I want you to stay at your grandparents for the night. This is going to take longer than i thought", she said and Henry could hear the sadness in his mothers voice, now becoming even more worried.
"Don't worry Henry, she's fine, it will just take longer to make her feel better", Regina quickly assured her son, sensing his distress. Henry sighed into the phone and nodded.
"Alright. I'll go pack my bag and walk over to the apartment"
"Thank you Henry. I love you"
"Love you to mom. And tell mom I love her too", he said and Regina smiled wide.
"I will Henry. Have a safe walk"
"I will", he said and hung up. Regina sighed and laid her phone down. She walked down and saw the clock was already standing at 6 pm, so it was almost time for dinner. She already knew that she didn't have the strength to make something up, so she called for some takeout, she knew Emma would love and sat down and watched tv as she waited for Emma to wake. After almost an hour, she heard footsteps on the stairs and Regina couldn't help but smirk as she saw Emma's face. She knew the smell of the takeout had woken the blonde and said blonde's face proved that. She was in heaven.
"It smells so good!", Emma moaned out and Regina couldn't help but feel a little wetness, but quickly shook her head bringing the thought to the back of her head.
"I thought so. And you need to eat. You probably haven't eaten in a couple of hours. I called Henry and asked him to stay at your parents for the night", she said as she walked towards the blonde who stood with her nose in the takeout and said blonde turned to the woman with a frown, but quickly replaced it with a smile of gratitude.
"Thank you. I don't know how to repay you Regina", she said and Regina smiled at her, waving her off.
"Don't worry about it. When your handless wonder won't be here, then I will. You may be a savior Emma, but you deserve to be happy and taken care of just as much as the rest of us", she answered honestly and Emma couldn't help but smile adoringly at her.
"Thank you", she whispered taking the brunette's hand and squeezing it gently. Regina looked down at their hands and couldn't help but blush.
"Thank you for the coffee by the way", Emma said and Regina looked up at the woman with a smile.
"You're welcome. It looked like you needed it. Now, you can tell me what's going on while we eat", she said and Emma sighed but nodded. They sat at the kitchen island and sat in silence for a couple of minutes as they ate, but Regina was too worried to let it hold on for a second longer.
"So. Tell me what happened", she said and Emma looked up at her with sad eyes.
"Hook left me", she said and Regina widened her eyes in surprise.
"What? Why?"
Emma hesitated taking a deep breath. But she knew she had to tell Regina it at some point. Might as well be now.
"I told him I'm pregnant", she said and Regina got even more confused now.
"And he left you?! You're pregnant with his child and he just left you?!", she said in pure anger and Emma could clearly see it. The fire was just burning in the brunette's dark brown eyes.
"Regina let me explain", she said calmly and Regina sighed but nodded and took a deep breath.
"Yes he left me, but not for the reason you think", she said and Regina nodded, urging the blonde to continue.
"It's not his", the blonde eventually said and Regina furrowed her eyebrows.
"Oh... Uhm, then who's child is it?", she asked hesitantly and Emma could see the small sadness slowly filling the brunette.
"I think you know that answer already Regina", she said giving the brunette a knowing look and Regina instantly knew. But how? It's not possible.
"How?", she asked in a whisper and Emma shrugged shaking her head.
"I don't know Regina, but whatever it is, it created this little kid here", she said pointing at her still flat belly and Regina sighed and looked down at the belly. How could it be hers? It was not possible. Two women, creating a child. It was just not possible. They had done it one time! One time only! They had had a nice family dinner just the two of them along with Henry and later they had shared a glass of apple cider as they always did, while talking about everything, mostly Henry though. Regina sometimes told Emma about her and Henry's life together while he grew up, telling her funny stories about things he had done. And Emma had told her the same stories about her and Henry when they lived in New York. And some of the memories were very similar.
But that night was different. That night, for the first time ever, they didn't talk about Henry at all. Regina had instantly known something was wrong with Emma, and she was too worried to let it slide. So she had asked what was wrong and Emma had hesitantly told her that she was fighting with Hook. And then they just talked about their love lives. What they had been through with so many people. Emma had admitted she was into girls as well and somehow it hadn't surprised Regina at all. And after all the talk and more drinking, they had ended up making out on the couch, neither woman caring about the consequences. That night they just wanted, needed each other's company and love.
"Regina. Regina look at me", Emma said taking the woman's hand, bringing said woman back from her thoughts and she looked at Emma who looked back at her with a small smile.
"It's okay. We-we can get through this. Right?", she said hopefully and Regina nodded. Squeezing Emma's hands with her own.
"Yeah. Of course we can. But I'm still confused. I don't understand how it's possible", she said and Emma shrugged once again.
"Do you... do you think true love might have something to do with it?", she asked and Regina furrowed her eyebrows.
"You always say that true love can break any curse and it can do anyth—"
"You think we are true loves?", Regina asked interrupting the blonde and Emma smiled shyly and nodded.
"I do. I think I have been having the thought for a while now. You know... after that night", she said and Regina nodded looking down.
"Regina. I need you to be honest with me"
Regina nodded not trusting her voice and Emma smiled at her.
"Do you want this? Us? This baby? Do you want all of this?", she asked and Regina could practically feel the insecurity in the blondes voice. But she didn't have a reason to be.
"Of course Emma. It's just a lot to take in right now", she answered and Emma nodded accepting the answer. They sat for a little while in silence simply enjoying the other woman's company. But suddenly Emma felt the brunette move closer and soon she felt hands on her belly.
"We are having a baby", she whispered and Emma smiled at her.
"We are", she whispered back and Regina smiled wide, tears rolling down her cheeks. She brought her hand to the blondes face and moved her face closer to her own, bringing their lips together in a soft kiss.
