AN: New POV in this chapter. There won't be too many of these, but it's important for plot development. Glad you guys continue to enjoy this story. Sorry for the delay in updating! Sadly real life gets in the way some times.
Snow paced the length of their small apartment. She was seething. How dare her flesh and blood not only consort with the Evil Queen, but publicly humiliate her! She restlessly rubbed her swollen abdomen with one hand while gesticulating wildly at her useless husband with the other.
"Can you believe the audacity of our child! How dare she do this to us!"
"Emma isn't doing anything to us darling. You know this is all Regina's doing. No child of ours could find love in someone so dark," Charming tried to rationalize.
"No, don't you see? Emma is the product of true love, her magic should be powerful enough to counter any curse cast her way. And believe me when I say Regina's love is cursed!" Snow huffed.
"Well, what do you suggest we do about it love?" asked the spineless man.
Snow briefly resumed her pacing, worrying her lower lip between her teeth. Her mind was swirling with plots and schemes to get revenge and wipe everyone's mind of her recent ass chewing. She couldn't afford to fall further in public opinion.
"We need magic. It's the one thing you and I don't have at our disposal, and the only thing strong enough to best Regina and Emma. Then our real child," Snow gestured to her baby bump, "can take it's rightful place as the hero of our people."
Charming furrowed his brow in thought, trying to figure out a solution for his distraught wife. He wanted nothing more than to please her, that's all he had ever wanted in this life and in their last.
"Well, I suppose I can summon Rumple. Perhaps he would be willing to strike another deal?"
"We will not consort with the Imp again! He is below the royalty of the White kingdom. I shall cal Blue over here. She and the rest of her fairies must have enough pixie dust stored up to be of use to us for once. Blue does owe us after all. It was her idea to put Emma into the tree," Snow ranted.
She reached for her phone with one hand while supporting her lower back with the other. Motherhood had been nothing but trouble so far, and it wasn't proving to be any different with her current pregnancy. At least Charming gave her attractive children. She wouldn't be able to stand it if on top of being insolent Emma was also less than beautiful.
Blue answered after five rings, two too many in Snow's opinion. After a brief conversation that was so sweet her teeth hurt the fairy was finally on her way. She snapped her fingers in front of Charming's handsome if unintelligent face, stirring him from whatever fantasy he was dreaming up.
"Blue is on her way. Clean up a little would you? Put the kettle on too, you know how that insipid woman is addicted to her chamomile."
She plopped down on the couch, resting her swollen feet on the coffee table. Snow sighed inwardly, she couldn't wait to have this parasite out of her. She decided that hiring a nurse maid was at the top of her priority list, just below taking care of the Evil Queen and her precious Savior. She was disrupted from her thoughts by a knock on the door.
"Charming! Get the door, my feet hurt from carrying you child around all day," the White Queen commanded.
"Yes dear," her prince simpered.
Charming opened the door, greeting Blue and escorting her into their small living room. She took a seat in the chair across from Snow crossing her legs at the ankle and clasping her hands on her lap.
"What can I do for your majesties?" the fairy inquired.
"Well dear Blue, it seems we have a serious problem. No doubt you heard about our altercation with Emma at Granny's earlier today," Snow raised an eyebrow in question.
"Yes, sadly I did hear that Princess Emma was rather upset with you both. I also came into the knowledge that the Evil Queen is in your dear daughter's bed," the fairy sighed sadly.
Snow was boiling with rage. Her husband brought the tea in from the kitchen, setting out cream and sugar before sitting stiffly by her side. His large hand rested on her knee.
"Someone with such powerful magic as yourself must be able to tell that the princess is under the influence of a powerful curse. Right Blue?" asked the petite brunette in an icy tone.
"Yes. Yes of course! Perhaps I can help you to break the curse?" asked the naive woman.
"We must save the savior Blue! In order to do that, we must protect her mind with your light magic. If she can't remember her connection to Regina, she will no longer be cursed. As for the Evil Queen, I do believe it's time she got a taste of her own medicine. We shall make it so that she is simply Mayor Regina Mills, never remembering her power or her corrupt version of love for our daughter." Snow clasped Charming's hand and looked into Blue's eyes with as much sincerity as she could muster.
"That's brilliant your majesty! You were born to rule us. Once Regina is taken care of, and Princess Emma is back in the fold, their joined power will be forgotten by the citizens of Storybrook. It will be as it was always meant to," sighed Blue dreamily.
The royals and their magical adviser spent the night planning their next move. They would need hair and blood from both Regina and Emma to work magic this powerful. They would need to get the women alone in order to weave separate spells. It wouldn't do if they got mixed up. Snow was looking forward to everyone forgetting the existence of Queen Regina and remembering the White's as a powerful and untied front. Everything was planned down to the letter, nothing could go wrong. The White Queen wouldn't be bested this time.
