May 4th
Regina
She heard the door open then close. At first her body reacted to the sound as if it was a wanted intruder. The soon the coos of Emma's voice filled the room as she greeted their son. The boy laughed in joy seeing his blonde mother. Smiling listening to the two Regina stretched slowly opening her eyes. Emma had the boy in her arms smiling at her. "Say good morning mommy," she tickled his side causing him smile broadly.
"Morning what time?" she sat up looking for her phone.
"10:30," Regina's eyes grew big. "It's okay your mother fed him. She said he didn't cry, but when she realized you had not woken up yet she went to check on you. She felt bad because you have been studying all night. So she took him and fed him. He apparently was still tired too and he fell back to sleep. She thinks he may be growing." Emma bent down and kissed her.
"Don't I have morning breathe." She gently pushed Emma Away. Then started to get up and head to the bathroom. Emma pulled her into her body and held her in the opposite arm as Henry.
"We don't care. Right Hen." The boy just smiled and laid his head on her shoulder.
"That may be true, but I would still like to freshen up." She pulled out of her girlfriends arms and walked into the bathroom. Grabbing her tooth brush she noticed she needed another tooth paste tube. Pulling the cabinet where she stored her tooth paste she grabbed the box that sat next to the tampons. She then shut the door opened the tooth paste put a health amount on the bristles. Just as she started brushing her teeth it hit her. Panic. Walking over to the cabinet she opened the cabinet and stared at the box of tampons. She was late. "Fuck," she stated loud enough for only her to hear.
Emma
"Have I done something wrong?" Emma asked. She had noticed Regina had been off all day. She didn't think she had done anything that she knew of to upset the other woman. They had spent there day looking for houses with Killian and Neal. Now they sat at Granny's Diner eating. Well she was eating and Regina was pushing her salad around
"No. I am just tired." Regina sighed Emma knew it was a lie though. Something was definitely wrong. "I think I need sometime alone to sleep. Do you mind taking Henry for a bit I think I am just going to walk home?"
"I can drive you." Regina was already standing and putting on her coat.
"No its fine I need air." She grabbed Regina's wrist. "Emma I'm fine. You're fine. We're fine. I just need some space." Emma loosened her grip. "Thank You." She gave Emma a reassuring kiss then left the building.
Regina
She felt stupid and embarrassed how is she letting this happened again. She could only think of the shame she felt walking up to the counter at the drug store telling the pharmacist to keep his mouth shut unless he wanted her to get him shut down for violation of her privacy. She didn't know if that was a real thing, but she had hoped that it was enough to scare the man into not speak of this to anyone. Carrying the bag inside she crashed into her sister knocking the back and its contents to the floor.
"What the hell Regina?" Of course her sister would pick up the bright pink First Response box up. She stood there like a statue stuck in place. "Are you pregnant again?"
"I don't know…" Regina looked down trying to keep her eyes clear of any tears. For once she felt Zelena felt sorry for her.
"Come on," Zelena pulled her up to her own room and shut the door behind them.
"I don't know how I could have let this happen." Her tears started falling now.
"I can answer that for you. You let someone raw dog you." Zelena sat on the edge of the bed.
"Do you have to be so vulgar about it?" Regina squirmed.
"It's the truth," Regina saw the look of realization on her sisters face, "Hang on please tell me you know who the father is."
"Of course I do!" Regina yelled.
"Okay!" Zelena held up her hand in surrender, "I was just checking, because of the fight between Emma and that loser guy. I thought maybe there were more potential fathers."
"Emma is the only person I have been sleeping with."
"Does she know?"
"I just realized this morning that I was late." Regina sighed rubbing her face.
"You might not even be pregnant you might just be late." Zelena says hopefully.
"But what if I am! What am I going to do? What are mom and dad going to think? As it is mom freaked out when she first found out I was pregnant. I have school. And work." Regina was pacing back and forth.
"Regina babe calm down. Take the test. Either you're pregnant or you're not. From there you, we – Emma, me, mom, dad, and even Emma's parents, will figure it out." Zelena stood up encouraging her sister into the bathroom. Regina edged her way to the bathroom then looked back at her sister one more time, "May the fourth be with you," then she wink at her. Reina weakly smiled then she the bathroom door.
May 6th
Emma
She had to get back to Boston, but she need to see Regina and figure why she had been ghosting her. Regina had been avoiding her calls and even went to the length of sending her sister out to retrieve and deliver Henry to her at the door. When Emma asked what was going Zelena would just tell her that Regina needed so time alone, but that everything was fine. Now Emma felt forced to knock on the Mill's door and demand to see her girlfriend.
"Emma," it was Cora who answered, "What are you doing her I thought for sure you would be on your way back."
"I am Mrs. Mills, but I would like to see Regina real quick I haven't spoken to her and I really need too." Cora let her in.
"She is up in her room, dear."
"Thank you," Emma slipped past Regina's mother and skipped steps up the stairs to Regina's room. Feeling as if she may be intruding she knocked on the door gently.
"Come in." Regina called out gently. Taking a deep breathe Emma then entered the room. "Emma," Regina stated surprised but also smiled weakly at her.
"Hey, I am sorry to barge in like this it's just that I was worried." Regina scooted to the end of the bed so she was sitting on the edge. Regina then signaled for Emma to join her. The air in the room was thick. Something was wrong. Emma feared that Regina was having regrets about them. Or maybe she wanted to be with that dipstick instead. Whatever it was Emma wiped her hand on her pants before joining Regina on the bed.
"I'm sorry." Regina looked down at her hands. "We have to talk though."
"I want you to know that if I ever had one argument as to why being with me is not a mistake is that I only have ever eyes for you and only see myself having a family with you." Regina snapped her head up.
"What?" Regina looked confused.
"I understand you might have reservations or regrets about being in a relationship with me-" Regina stopped her.
"That is not what this conversation is about."
"It's not?" Regina shook her head then stood up. Emma watched as Regina walked to her desk and grabbed something of it then came back to sit next to her. She then hand over a flack piece of plastic with a pink tip to her. "What is this?" Emma inspected the object.
"I'm pregnant," Regina said just as Emma realized what she was holding.
"You're fucking with me." Was the first thing that popped out her mouth before she could stop herself, "not that I am like mad or not mad or that you know whatever, but I mean how?"
"Really Emma you know how it happened." Regina rolled her eyes.
"Shit," Emma stood up. At that moment she looked at a panic Regina. For a second she was angry at herself and Regina for putting themselves in an even harder situation. As she started pacing back in forth she could feel the worry and angst off of Regina. But then she realized she had to be strong for the both of them and that she meant what she said about wanting to start a family with only Regina. So yeah it was happening quicker than they had wanted but screw it. "Marry me."
"What?" Regina's eyes bulged out of her head.
"Marry me." She kneeled in front of her.
"Emma-"
"It does have to be now or anytime soon but marry me."
"No." Emma's heart dropped. "I will, but not like this. Not when right now I feel you only asked me out of obligation."
"I'm not-,"
"I know, but it is how I feel." Regina kissed her reassuring Emma that nothing had changed. Pulling her up Regina guided her to sit next to her. Regina then leaned her head on her shoulder. "So you know next time you asked better be more romantic than this," Emma chuckled.
May 11th
Emma
"Killian open up man." She banged on her friends door. It was still cold for being a spring day and her thin coat did nothing to break the chill. Finally Killian opened the door.
"Swan?" He crooked. It was 8:00 in the morning and while she was a night owl her body had gotten use to waking up early. "What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk?" Emma pushed by him and into the apartment.
"Couldn't this have waited till a more reasonable time?" He shut the door then plopped down on the couch.
"This is reasonable for me sadly enough." Emma sat at the far end of the couch. "Regina is pregnant again."
"Holy fuck Swan, haven't you heard of condoms." Killian looked astonished.
"Shut up."
"So what are you guys going to do?"
"That's what I came to talk to you about." Emma sat straighter, "I have to quit this Youtube thing."
"What?! NO Way?!" Killian jumped up.
"I have to Kill. I mean I need to get a second job I won't have time to have a full-time job, a part time job, raise my kids and do this it's too much." Emma argued, "As it is I don't know if Regina will be up to it as well."
"Is it really about the money?"
"I mean kid of?"
"Let me show you something." Killian runs into his room then two seconds later came back out with his laptop. "This," he shows the analytics of the YouTube channel. "We have fifty subscribers and we have a 115 viewer average on two of our videos. That means we have people watching."
"Yea people are watching, but that means squat. It means that only .00001 percent of people know our channel exists." Emma looked at him.
"Here," He hands her a $20, "it's for both you and Regina. I know it's nothing, but this could be more. You will be back soon it would give us the opportunity to film more. Not only that but then we can advertise our channel more and grow it."
"You make it sound so simple, but we both know it's not." Emma shook her, "there are so many other factors you have to consider like I said I have two kids and a girlfriend to take care of. I need money for dippers and clothes, a roof over my head; I mean this second kid put a damper on moving in with you guys because I can't afford it." Killian stayed quiet taking everything in.
"I got a crazy idea, you and Regina are our main characters we need you too." Killian finally spoke, "I would have to talk to Neal, but what if we pay for you and Regina to live with us in exchange for your acting. There was that 4 bedroom house with the 2 bed guest house. We were going to use the guest house as a studio, but what if you two live in the guest house me and Neal will live in the main house. We will get a roommate for one of the rooms and use the last room for a studio. We would pay for you utilities and roof, all you guys would have to do is act."
"As cool as that would be that wouldn't be fair to you guys." Emma spoke trying her hardest not to grasp at invisible straws.
"It's fair if we consider it labor for housing. Also I can make it to where once we start making like real cash you and Regina can then get a cut and start paying us rent."
"That's kind of confusing."
"It is but it can work just let me talk to Neal like I said."
"Fine let me talk to Regina then."
Season 1 - Episode 3: I still don't know where I am.
Emma woke up from her sleep with a start. It's a dream Emma told herself, but looking around she found herself still trapped in the dungeons. Sighing she heard the clamber of a guard walking to her cell. Sitting up she wait for him to arrive.
" 'ere." He said gruffly throwing a tray full of muck and water. "Eat up. The queen has plans for yous." He walked away.
"Gross." Emma curled her lips at the disgusting meal. She needed to get out of that hell hole. Lucky for her the queen had not believed Emma when she said had done bad things. Not super bad things but enough to help her pick up a few tricks like pickpocketing and lock picking. She called it criminal ingenuity. Checking her pockets she found her trusty lock pick. "Obviously even the queen is stupid enough not to check a thief's pocket." Emma smiled as she started working on the lock.
Memory of what happened after everyone left
"I can't." Emma struggled out still recovering. The Evil Queen gave a dark chuckle, "I can't, because I can tell that no matter what I say you will not believe me. That even if I tell you I just spent my birthday in the city of Boston where the last thing I remember was blowing out a candle on a stupid cupcake that you will not believe me. I know that no matter how much I beg you to understand that I have spent the last 19 years alone in a world that doesn't see me that you will not believe me." Emma tried to pour as much truth as she could into her statement to arouse some pity on the Queen. The Queen stayed silent so Emma took this as her chance. "Where I come from we do not have royalty so I have no idea how to address you, but if there is any way a person in you stature could believe a single word from my mouth please know that I am lost and I just want to go back home to my invisible life." Dead silence filled the room. Then the hall filled with deep laughing.
"You expect me to believe a word you have just said? You disappeared for 8 months and you expect me to believe that you have not been gathering a rebellion."
"Yes! Because if I was gathering a rebellion why would I wander into a town without them. Why would I allow myself to get caught if I was looking to over throw you? None of this makes fucking sense!"
"Silence!" the Queens voice boomed. "You will tell me where your bands of misfits are so I can kill them then you." The Queen seethed.
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Emma yelled.
"LEAVE THE ROOM ALL OF YOU!" the men reached for Emma, "Not her." Emma swallowed hard trying to hide her fear. Bodies quickly left the room leaving Emma to face the queen. The evil queen turned from her and faced the large window. "Do you know what it's like to be in this position? I wanted you caught so badly so I could see the life drain from your eyes. Yet, I never wanted to catch you because then the last of the light I had in my soul would die." Her voice was soft now reminding her of the caring apple picking voice.
"If I knew where the rebellion was I would tell you." Emma tried, but Regina just chuckled.
"Always so eager to please me. Do you know why I fell in love with you?" Regina finally turned to look at her. Emma was shocked. 'Love'. She was so confused. "I fell in love with the way you would always did what I wanted, but then you let your mother take you away from me."
"I don't have a moth-"
"Yes, yes you have told me that once before, but then you let her and your love sick father out of my dungeon." She bit at Emma. "I loved you Emma," she was all of a sudden in Emma was on her feet and the queen in her space. "You were MY everything and you betrayed me. WHY!"
"I am trying to tell you-"
"STOP PLAYING STUPID!" Emma was pushed to the floor. Hitting Hard Emma groaned in pain.
"Maybe that is why I left you," Emma stupidly mumbled.
"What did you say?" it came out like a growl.
"Maybe if you would listen I wouldn't have. Or maybe laying your hands on me was my last straw."
"Did your mother brain wash you so much that you would actually believe I would hurt you? I never laid an unwanted finger on you." They stared at each other, but exhausted of this never ending back and forth.
"Look if I am your Emma Swan. Which I am not sure I am even though you know my name and apparently I look like her. I am sorry I betrayed you. I may have had a good reason too, but I am telling you I don't remember doing that. What I know is that I was found in the forest as a child put into the foster care system until I ran away. Did a bunch of stuff I am not proud of. Got my life together and now I live in Boston." She then realized that the other woman was listening to her. "I mean look how I am dressed compared to how you are dress. This isn't a costume these are the clothes I wear on a daily basis." They sat for a minute and Emma prayed she had reached the queen. "Before you kill let me prove to you that I am not lying."
Back in the cell
With a loud click the cell door opened. "It's all about the tumblers," she smiled closing the door behind her and putting the pick in her boot. Emma walked quietly along the dimly lit dungeon for about five minutes finally finding a way out that had only one lonely guard. Quickly and quietly she knocked the guy out. Fresh air filled her lungs as she wandered the castle has it was rather late or it looked late. It was dark and there were not many people wandering around. It was the perfect chance for her to make her escape, but that would only make it worse. The Evil Queen would send her army after her. No. Emma thought better. She made her way through the castle searching for a specific room. Twenty minutes later she got lucky and pulled the door to the room she knew was the one she was looking for. Which was a good thing considering her escape had not gone unnoticed and soldiers were starting to emerge to search for her.
The room was dark, but cozy. The bed was huge, but looked small compared to the size of the room. She noticed a balcony and found herself outside watching the commotion below her. It was a cold night and she was just happy she remembered to bring her jacket during her escape. The door to the room suddenly flung open startling her.
"I do not care what it takes!" the Queen yelled, "You better find her or all of you will burn!" the door slammed shut. The Queen walked into the room hands on her hip. "And to think you were going to believe her." Emma hid behind a pillar, but was able to see and hear the other woman. "Why? Why do you let your love for that stupid blonde makes you do stupid things?" Regina had walked over to her vanity angrily sliding stuff to the floor all it landing with loud crash. Regina covered her face, but Emma knew she was crying. For some odd reason Emma's heart strings tugged forcing her to come out of the shadows to reveal herself.
"You know while I appreciate you not killing me that dungeon was kind of an over kill."
