CHAPTER 6 - CHANGING

Regina started wake up slowly and she thought it was the most beautiful and the most painful dream she had ever had about Robin but as the sleep left her mind clear, she realized the heat from another body behind her. She turned in the place and saw Robin's shinning blue eyes looking at her.

"Good morning, Milady."

"You weren't just a dream." She whispered, her voice still weak from the sleep.

"No, I wasn't. I'm here." Robin caressed her cheek and leaned to place a soft kiss on her lips. She shifted herself closer to him and let her hand rested on his arm.

"Did you sleep well, my beautiful?"

"Yes. Actually... much better than in previous weeks." She realized she was feeling really good. Robin's body next to her made her feel safe and complete again.

"That's good. You need to sleep enough now. And also eat so I would like to make some healthy and nourishing breakfast for you." He smiled on her and wanted to stand up from the bed but Regina stopped him.

"Wait. Not yet. Can we stay here little longer? I..." she closed her eyes, "we still have a curse outside and I feel like... everything could fall apart if we leave this bed, this house. I want one more moment with you." She looked back at him and he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly.

"You can have as many moments with me as you will want. Nothing will fall apart."

"You can't know that." Regina whispered.

"I have hope and you should, too, my love."

"I want to but..." She didn't finished her thought but Robin knew what she wanted to say even without it.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be okay." He kissed her nose.

Yes, mommy, my daddy is right. Don't be afraid. I love you, Henry loves you and I know daddy loves you, too. You are loved and that is everything what matters because love is the most powerful magic, do you remember? You need to have hope and believe in strength of our love, mommy.

They had been laying for another few minutes, staring into each others eyes and enjoying their closeness. Robin was caressing her back slowly and her fingertips were rested on his chest.
Suddenly she breathed in sharply and her face turned into wide smile. Their baby was apparently stretching their muscles again but what Regina felt this time weren't just butterflies, it was kicking, still slight but definitely kicking.

"What?" Robin seemed to be little confused but Regina didn't answer. She took his hand and placed it on the top of her belly.

"Can you feel?" Regina asked and watch how Robin's eyes widened with realization.

"Yes. Yes, I can." He looked into her deep eyes.
"This is our love, Regina. We can be together, all of us. We have to be and we will be." Another soft but fast kiss was placed on Regina's lips and then Robin moved himself down.
"Good morning, little one. It seems you have grown a bit again since yesterday. That's very good, you need to be strong when you will born. I love you very much, honey. You don't even know how happy you made me."

Good morning, daddy. Mommy told me that you will be happy about me and she was right. She is very smart and she knows many things but she still needs learn something - to have hope. I'm trying show her that she can but it's difficult. Will you help me with that, daddy? I know we can do it together. I know you want to stay with us and mommy can break the curse. She just need to believe in herself. She is so strong. I love her very much.

"I think I would like to get that breakfast now." Regina's hand found a way into Robin's hair.

"As milady wishes." He came back up to her.
"But first..." He crushed his lips against hers in deep, loving and passionate kiss. They haven't kissed like this since he left the town and Regina was glad they were still laying in bed because she was sure she would become weak in knees if they weren't. His mouth made her feel as if someone put her brain into box and was shaking and turning it upside down again and again. But she liked it, she loved it. When they broke the kiss due to lack of air, they stayed connected with their foreheads looking into each others eyes and breathing quickly.

"I am so glad I am back." Robin said after few seconds and stood up from the bed, giving her his hand for help.

xXx

When Regina dressed up and came into the kitchen, Robin was already in the middle of making eggs. She wanted to help him but he took the spatula from her hands.
"Uh-uh," he shook his head slowly, "I said I want to make the breakfast for you, no helping."

Regina raised her palms in gesture of peace and sat behind the kitchen counter.
"So what about the curse?"

"Something about moon dust, blue flames, light magic and dragon scales. I have it all written on a paper in my bag. There is a spell in some strange language, too. Maybe we should meet with Emma at Charmings after breakfast and I will show it to all of you. I think her magic could be helpful, too." He said and poured a glass of orange juice for Regina.

"Yeah, I will text her." Regina reached for her cellphone and typed: Need talk about the curse. Can we come? R.

xXx

Not even hour ago David opened their front door after Robin had knocked.
"Good morning, Regina, Robin, good to see you again." David said and stepped out from the door to let them come in. Emma and Henry greeted them, sitting on the couch.

"Good morning, Henry." Regina said and little smile appeared on her face for a second.

Snow was washing dishes behind the kitchen counter but she let everything be and turned to them.
"Welcome back in Storybrook, Robin." Snow said to him and smiled widely at Regina but she shook her head.

"He can't stay, not for now."

Robin looked into Regina's eyes like he wanted to convince her he will and then told to others.

"That's why we are here. We need to change the curse so I could cross the line anytime."

"Why is it important?" David asked like he had forgotten Roland and Marian are still outside the town.

"If we do that, I will go for my son and we will stay here but I could bring him to his mother regularly. I don't want to take him from Marian just like that."

"Oh." David said when he realized what Robin was saying.

"But we don't know how to do that, we have already tried." Emma joined the conversation.

"I know, Regina told me. But when I was away I found out what we need to succeed in that."

"You haven't show me that paper yet." Regina said to Robin. He pulled folded piece of paper out from his pocket and handed it to her.

"What's it?" Emma asked.

"A spell." Robin answered while Regina was busy with reading. Emma stood up and went to look on the paper in Regina's hands. She wanted to learn as much about magic as was possible, she knew her magic is strong and she wanted to become better in using it but urgent knocking on the door stopped her before she could read anything from that paper. Whoever it was, didn't bother themselves with waiting until someone will open. Six pair of eyes turned to doors and saw it was Belle, who looked like she was running all the way.

"I need to talk with you. Something is going to happen."

"What?" All of them asked together.

"Maleficent. I found out what she is planning. She works with Rumple and someone else outside of town - I don't know who - but they are trying to come back into town. I don't know what exactly they want to do here but it won't be anything good. We need to stop them somehow."

Regina listened to Belle's words and realized it was happening again, after little moment of hope everything was falling apart. She knew that. It was story of her life.
"It means," she looked at Robin, "if we change the curse, they will come, too. We can't do that, we can't put the whole town in such a dangerous situation."

But before Robin could say something, Emma interrupted him.

"No, Regina. We will change the curse. Now, we will help you and then – if they really come – we will help the town." She said decisively and looked at her parents.
"Right?"

They nodded.

"Yes, of course. That's what we always do, helping our family." Snow added and gave encouraging smile to Regina.

She was little surprised with this reaction and the fact they accepted her like family didn't make her feel very comfortable. But she admitted to herself she thought that all of them together could handle Rumple, Maleficent or whoever they were working with.
Robin took her hand 'it will be okay' she understand that gesture even without words.

"So can I see the page?" Emma asked and Regina handed it to her.
"It looks similar like that what we have already tried." Emma said when she read it.

"Yes, very similar." Regina confirmed and looked into Robin's eyes.

"I'm not sure if it can work."

"It can." Certainty was obvious in Robin's voice.
"The man who gave me this said me something more. That changing that huge curse like this one needs some other change, too."

"What that means?" This time it was Henry who asked his question.

"I don't know exactly." Robin shrugged and look at Regina. She was staring on the wall with frown on her face. She tried to think because she felt like she should know what all of this means.

Emma looked back at the page and pointed on two last lines.
"What language is this?"

"It's English but it's written in runic alphabet." Regina took the paper back from her.

"Can you read it?" Emma was curious.

"Yeah." Regina nodded and looked at the others.
"It's What was once done with strong feeling, can be always undone with even strongest."

No one said a word because no one has nothing to say. Everything what they know was just riddles and all of them brought just more another questions.

The silent in the room was interrupted with Regina's sharp breath and Robin noticed her eyes widened with realization. All of a sudden every little clue, every single word click on the place in Regina's mind and started making perfect sense.
"I think I know what all of this means." She said with little unbelieving tone and looked from Robin to Snow. Everyone were waiting impatiently for her explanation.

"Before I cast this curse," she told to Robin, "Maleficent had told me there will be emptiness inside me, a void I'll never be able to fill. And it happened but I don't feel empty anymore. I did it. I filled the emptiness with love for Henry," she smiled at her son and looked back at Robin, " love for you and our baby." She caressed her belly.

"So you can change the curse because you did change yourselves. yYu have to use your light magic." Henry said and his mother nodded.

"Yeah. That strong feeling, that I cast this curse with, was anger and hatred but it can be undone with love."

"Because love is the most powerful magic of all." Snow added and Regina closed her eyes for a moment. She felt somehow lighter like the pieces of her so-many-times-broken-heart were on the right place finally because she admitted and accepted she could really love and be loved. It was overwhelming but she took a deep breath and nodded to herself.
"Okay, I can do it but I still need your help." She looked at Emma, Snow, Henry and Robin.

"Of course." They answered together.

xXx

They came back on the exact same place where they had tried to change the curse before and Regina made the same circle with moon dust but this time she didn't intend to set the fire on it. Instead Snow made a fireplace in the middle of circle.

"Everyone has to stay right on the dust line." Regina said to others. They nodded and stood up on the line in similar distance.
"You two should come closer to me." Regina looked at Robin and Henry and they did so they were on one side with Regina between them and Snow with Emma were on the opposite side of circle.
"Now, you can light the fire." Regina said, looking at Emma and when the blonde did it with her magic, Regina waved her hand and sent remaining ingredients magicaly into the flames. Some of them were the same like when she had cast the curse for the first time but some were different like the dragon scales or symbol of her change.
All magic has always a price and it comes after the magic usually, but this time it had to be paid before the magic. The price was The Evil Queen, Regina had to let her go forever. The symbol of Evil Queen had to be burn in fire. Regina looked at Snow and nodded. It should be her – person who had knew Regina before she became evil, when she was evil and after she stopped being evil.

Snow nodded back and threw the necklace, which Regina had on when she had cast the curse, into the fire.

Regina didn't know much about her light magic because she hadn't used it since she defeated Zelena but she knew she could control it with emotions, good emotions.
"What was once done with strong feeling, can be always undone with even strongest." She whispered the spell, staring into the flames. Then she took Henry's left hand into her right and Robin's right hand into her left. She felt her baby moving inside her and she focused on how much she loved and how much she was loved. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and thought about what she wanted to do, what she wanted to change about the curse. She felt a wave of magic rising in her until it left her chest with white light and turned the orange flames into blue ones. Regina opened her eyes and watched how they raised high into the sky and grew until they surrounded the whole town in shining shield. Then the ground around the town line shook as it absorbed the magic light.

No one said anything until Henry broke the silence.
"Did it work?"

Regina and Emma looked at each other, they both could feel it.

"Yes, I think so." Regina answered to her son and then turned to Robin. He leaned to her and whispered into her ear.
"I knew you could do it." Then he kissed her cheek and looked back at others.

"So what know?" Snow asked.

"Now I'm going for my son." Robin answered and squeezed Regina's hand, which he was still holding, lightly.
"It won't take long. We bought a little house in the nearest town and I have car right behind the border of Storybrook."

"You can drive?" Henry asked curiously.

"Yes, I leart that when I was away. It's pretty usefull in this world."

xXx

Regina and Robin came to the town line together with holding hands, everyone else stayed far behind them. Robin looked on her face and kissed her lovingly on her lips.
"That wasn't a goodbye kiss, I just can't help myself not to kiss you." He kissed her again.
"I'll come back." He wanted to assure her.

"I know." Regina told him and she really meant it. She loved him and knew he loved her. She really believed he will come back to her, she felt like she cloud have hope finally, even just a little bit.

Robin moved his hand from her back to her belly.
"Hey honey, don't worry I'm not leaving I just need to do something but I promise I'll come back and then never leave you and your mommy again. I love you, little one. Keep your eye on your mommy until I'll return, okay?" Then he took few steps, crossed the line and turned with a wide smile.

"I can see you. No barrier here." He run through the line again.
"And I can cross the line, too." He put another fast kiss on her cheek and she laughed. This was silly.

"Oh, go already." She pushed him with her hand, still smiling.

"I'll be back here as soon as possible." Robin said, waited until she nodded and then went away from her. He looked back one more time and waved his hand before he got in his car.

Regina stayed right there, watching him leaving until his car was too small to see.

He was gone again but this time, Regina had hope.

Pls, let me know what you think. It means A LOT to me!
