Thanks for all the support!
Regina
"Regina," Her mother caught her attention, "maybe this is too soon to be testing your stress levels?" It had been 24 hours since she was first admitted to the hospital. She had a long talk with the hospital volunteer it was nice to talk to someone that was not pressuring her.
"No, I am fine," she looked at her mother and smiled. "A little nervous, but I'm fine," she gave her mothers had a comforting squeeze. They had just pulled up to a house with a gated 2 acre yard. There were some horse barns with two or three horses and a chicken coop with a half a dozen chicken. A few dogs barked as their rental car made its way up to the house. The house was a modest place. The house was white with blue trim and a metal roof. A small car port connected to the house held two cars. As they parked the car Regina turned to her traveling companions. "Wait here."
"Really? What are you gonna do? Knock on the door, tell her, and then run away?" Robin asked
"No, I am just going to see if we have the right place then we will go from there." She quickly unbuckled herself and got out of the car. As she made her way up to the front door a woman she knew exited the house.
"Regina? Is that you?" Ruth the volunteer from the hospital rushed out and gave the young girl a welcoming hug. "What are you doing here? Are you okay? How do you even know where I live?"
"I didn't, I was looking for someone." She smiled happy to see the volunteer
"He is hers isn't he" Ruth knew all about Regina and Emma's bumpy relationship. Regina just didn't give Ruth Emma's name. Regina only nodded. "Come inside I will get Emma." Cautiously Regina walked inside. She wasn't afraid that she would be murdered inside the house. She was afraid because of what the future held for her baby. "EMMA YOU HAVE A VISITOR!" she yelled out, "have a seat Regina."
"I'm Okay thank you," Regina nervously squeaked out. Within seconds Emma came out of what Regina guessed was her room. She was wearing a sports bra and basketball shorts with her hair up in a ponytail. Her right hand wrapped tightly from an injury. Regina inhaled sharply at Emma's shear attractiveness was something she had almost forgotten. Then as quickly as her hormones were there they were gone. Following behind Emma was a taller brunette girl sporting a rather small, but noticeable, hickey. Emma looked up finally letting their eyes meet.
"Regina?" Regina wanted to run. This was why no matter how she felt she could not act on these feelings. Rage, hurt, disappointment all but encompassed Regina's being. Quickly Regina composed herself. She couldn't let Emma see her sweat.
"This was a bad idea." Regina shook her head. Emma wasn't ready to be a parent. If finding Emma shacked up with a different woman didn't prove it she didn't know what did.
"Regina -," Emma she could even defend herself it was evident what had happened.
"Save it," Regina held up her hand. "I didn't come here to talk about the letter or whatever. If that," She waved her hand to insinuate her distaste of Hailey "doesn't prove that letter was shit then I don't know what does."
"Who are you calling a that?" Hailey offended stated. Regina just laughs.
"Honey please, don't start. In fact you can have her." Regina just laughed again, "Just know you will end up like every other girl Emma Swan has fucked." She looked straight into Hailey's eyes, "A notch. A toy. A nothing. When she is done with you, you will be nothing more than an old stretched out balloon."
"Regina-" Emma tried.
"Please, this is coming from you." Hailey countered, "Look at you pregnant. Coming all the way over here for what to mess with Emma's head? To rub in how that small dicked boyfriend of yours got you pregnant? To what torture her more then you already have?"
"Hailey-" Emma again tried.
"She is finally moving on and you just can't let her be can you? Your obsessed with her aren't you?" Hailey was furious. Not as furious as Regina. With an evil smirk on Regina's face had already plotted the girl's death in her head.
"Tortured? Obviously you didn't tell her," she looked at Emma.
"Regina, please." It was no use Emma wasn't going to get through to her.
"She tortured me. She pushed me. Super glued my door key hole. Poured Jell-O on my head and trust me, Random, that is only the tip of the many things she did to me. All of that, because I didn't want to be another fuck." Regina took a breather to try and compose herself, "Then she became my 'friend' made me actually think I was falling in love with her, just so she could fuck me. On the day I was going to tell her how I felt she called me a prude in front of everyone, because I didn't fuck her. Then she decided to date a girl, which looks a lot like you, because she looked like me. So I guess she is only with you honey boo boo, because you look like me. Oh and here is the topper you ready? I was stupid and drunk. I let my inhibitions and feelings get the best of me allowing this womanizer to fuck me." Everyone stayed quiet for a long time, "Now I am pregnant." Regina just shook her head. "Whatever hope I had is gone." A tear rolled down her cheek, "I am having your son. His name is Henry. If you want to be there great, if you don't great. You have number if you want to be there for him."
Emma
"What?" but before she got an answer Regina was gone. "What? No!" Emma went to run after Regina.
"Emma," Hailey reached out for her, but Emma got loose of her grip. The ground was a scorching 95 degrees if not more. If it wasn't for her socks she would be screwed. Running with all her might was able catch the departing car. Instinctively letting her stupidity take over she jumped in front of the moving car. It wasn't like the movies were the person jumps in front of the car and it immediately stops. No. The car rammed into Emma knocking her over to the ground inches from crushing her. All the occupants of the car screamed. The burning ground which Emma now laid on burning her skin. Regina rushed from the car and fell to her knees next to Emma.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Regina yelled subconsciously checking over Emma.
"Yea probably not the best idea," she groaned sitting up.
"That was the stupidest idea you have ever had." Regina added doing her best to dust Emma off. "Are you alright?"
"I couldn't let you leave," Emma said looking straight in Regina's eyes, "I am not perfect, but I can't just let you two go." Regina was on the verge of bawling. "We have to talk." Regina took a minute contemplating her next move. "Regina- "
"Meet me at the Starbucks in town in an hour and a half," Emma nodded enthusiastically. She stood and watched Regina get back into the car. Once the dust from the road disappeared Emma decided it was time to get ready. Shutting the door behind her she saw her grandmother standing with a dish towel drying her hands.
"Did a dust storm hit you while you were out there? You look filthy." her grandmother quipped.
"Better. I got ran over by a car." Emma said still stunned.
"I guess you got off easy then." Emma just nodded, "So what now?"
"I have to meet Regina at Starbucks," she had to get ready she didn't have much time. "I have to go." She quickly kissed her grandmother's cheek and went to her room. Entering her room she found Hailey sitting on her bed arms crossed. "You still here?" Emma started gathering her towel.
"Yeah I am thanks for noticing," Hailey said sarcastically. "What are you doing?"
"I have to get ready to meet with Regina." Emma took of her shorts half hazardly throwing them in the laundry.
"Really you are going to meet with that bitch?" She spat.
"Watch it," Emma warned Hailey, "that's the mother of my child." Hailey laughed out.
"Really you believe that? She is just using you."
"Hailey you need to leave." Emma pointed to the door.
"What I don't have a say in this." She stood up furious.
"No you don't." Emma looked at her. It was evident Hailey had forgotten her place in Emma's life. Emma didn't want to be mean to this woman, but this was getting ridiculous. "You aren't my girlfriend, remember that. Now leave."
"I'm not your girlfriend, but I must mean something." Hailey argued.
"Hailey," she ran a hand through her hair, "I am trying really hard not to be mean here. You are a fuck and you know that I made it very clear to you from the beginning."
"Emma-"
"No. I trust Regina with my life, Hailey. She wouldn't lie about something like this. Sure I will ask what I have to ask, but that is my business not yours or anyone else's." Emma sighed, "I think this, "she waved between them, "has gone far enough and you are getting the wrong impression of this arrangement.
"Emma-" Hailey tried tears falling.
"I have to get ready, please leave." With that Emma grabbed her towel and went into her bathroom. She turned the water on then quietly listened for her bedroom door to shut. For a brief minute she feared Hailey would follow come into the bathroom. After Five minutes though the bedroom door open then closed. Letting out a deep breathe Emma finished undressing and got into the shower.
The warm water ran down her head. She watched the water wash away the dirt. She had so many questions she needs to ask Regina. Mentally she made note of which were the more important questions she had to cover. She was going to be a mother. Then it hit her. She was going to be a mother. She was 18 years old and had a child on the way.
"Fuck" she covered her face with her hands. What was she going to do? She couldn't just leave the kid without a second parent, could she? She wasn't ready to be a parent. She had so much more she wanted to do before she was tied down. Besides she would probably be a shitty parent. Regina would be better off without her parenting skill. Then she thought of Regina. She, like Emma, didn't ask for this as a decent person. Emma couldn't morally leave Regina. Most of all thought her poor kid. The little guy didn't ask to be created. Sighing she knew that she could not do that because she made the mistake. They made the mistake.
She wondered what he would look like. Would he have her blonde hair? Would he have Regina's smile? Would he be athletic? She wasn't and nor was Regina, but she hoped he had a little more athletic ability than them. What did this mean for her and Regina? Where they going to finally get together? Emma wouldn't mind it being with Regina. Did this mean she had to move back to Storybrooke? She didn't think she was ready for that.
Turning of the shower she dried off and dressed in a pair of shorts and a plain white tee. She grabbed her keys from of the night stand and headed for her car.
"What are you going to do?" Her grandmother's voice stopped her in her tracks.
"The only thing I can do." With that Emma got into her car and drove to Starbucks.
