The sorceress apprentice

"So Henry can you tell me what you would do if I shoot a ball of fire against you?" Zelena was walking back and forth in her living room.

"I would use counter curse to make it vanish before it hit me, or send a water ball against it," he answered.

"Very good, now what is it that can break any curse?" she asked him.

"True loves kiss," he said wrinkling his nose.

"And who do we know that has been woken up by this if you do believe in Fairytales ?" she asked amused.

"Snow White and Aurora or Sleeping Beauty if you prefer that name," said he polite.

"How do you make a sleeping potion?" Zelena asked.

"You never taught me that, but it smells funny. You put this small white pieces that looks like sugar cubes in it and white powder. It was like chemistry, mixing liquid and powder and all together when she…Regina did it. I don't know what the ingredients are called," Henry said, he didn't even know why he remembered just that. He could even picture her vanishing in purple smoke. But this…She promised him she would never do magic again after she had put David under the sleeping curse. He had been under it, but why…

"Something wrong, Henry?" Zelena's voice was softer than usual, then again she was worried about the young boy.

"I…I just feel a bit tired that is all," he excused himself.

"Alright, why don't we stop earlier today, and you can go and do whatever it is you are doing after school," she offered, after all he had worked hard for so long now.

He nodded as she smiled at her asking, "How is my Ipod working out for you?"'

"Really well, I love the music," she said with a smile. She really loved how his music choises had enriched her daily life.

"I am glad you do, well see you for lesson next week, have a great weekend," he said.

She nodded saying, "Keep on practicing on your magic and the laws of magic."

"I will," he said and left her house to go to his old forth. He had stumbled over it not long after they had gotten there and now he had found it was a good place to thing. He sometimes went there, after all his mother never had time for him after they had gotten there. It was not fair, not at all, he felt so alone and out of place. He really missed his friends in New York. 'And for what? He could feel his anger grow and the small ball of fire grew in his hand. "I hate you!" he whispered, it was meant at his mother.
At least Zelena cared enough about him to teach him something useful he was going to use against her. He smiled as he made the fireball vanish as fast as he had made it appear. He was so much more than his mother would ever be he figured as he had magic. The young boys snuggled up in bed with a book, deciding to read until he fell asleep.

"Belle?" Rumpelstiltskin said, knocking gently on the bathroom door. He needed to use it and she had been in there what seemed like forever. Not that he really minded, he was just going to work in his shop. He was considering closing it up as there was hardly any customers there in the first place.

"I will be right out, Rumple," the brunette spoke from the inside. She took a deep breath looking at the pregnancy test once more, positive. This was not exactly what she had planed, but...

"Are you okay?" he wondered, his wife concerned now.

"I am fine," she said in her cheerful tone, packing it in some paper and throwing it in the trash. She washed her hands and opened the door, saying, "All yours."

"Thank you, are you in a hurry or do you want to eat breakfast together?" he wondered, eyeing here. No wanted that anything should be wrong.

"I'll just grab a quick of tea at Granny's," she said and gave him a soft peck on the cheek, adding, "Maybe we could go to the movies tonight, there is this movie I wanted to see?"

"Of course," he said and smiled at her, thinking that enduring a romantic drama was something he could do any day as long as he had her close.

"Henry, are you up?" Emma knocked on the door, before opening it, finding him sleeping in bed, fully dressed, a book open on his lap.

"Ugh," he said, opening his eyes, was it morning already.

"Good morning, sunshine," she said with a smile adding, "I was thinking that we could maybe go to the diner or someplace else to eat dinner tonight?"

"I have homework," he groaned.

"It is Friday, I mean I haven't spent a lot of time with you since we got here, anything you want?" she was fishing now. It was true though she wanted to spend more time with him.

"Can we see the new Sin City movie?" he was trying his luck he knew.

"Nice try, anything else," she said, feeling that was a bit too old for him.

"I'll think of something, can you leave the room so I can change before school?" he wondered. She nodded and did just that.

Regina woke up to her alarm as always, as most time in her life she woke up alone. She sighed, figuring she missed having Emma sleep over every night. She really liked to snuggle up with her, it was something nice and safe about it. In fact there was something nice and safe having her around. Even in the beginning when she had first showed up, Regina had enjoyed their fights. It got some of her tension off. However sleeping with her was much better.

She looked over to the side of the bed that used to be occupied by Emma when she was there. A half empty glass of water, a bear saying, "I love you," she had gotten it for her. Then it was a book, some magazines and a half eaten bag of chips. Two days old now. She knew she should throw it out, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She listened to the song playing on the radio, "So what if I came clean and told you what you mean to me, don't let it go to your head."

The brunette sighed as she slowly let her feet hit the cold floor, softly singing along, "Just 'cause I can't go on. Just 'cause I die when you're gone, and just 'cause I think of you in bed. Don't let it go to your head."

She needed her more than she was willing to admit and that would be her downfall she knew. Between training her to get better in magic, and her frustration, there was plently of time for warm hugs and soft kisses. For them to melt together as one. It scared her, she was afraid that if she really gave it all like she wanted to she would get hurt and she was not sure if it was worth the risk.

"Look what I can do?" Emma had spoken a few days earlier.
"What?!" Regina had sounded in her usual snappy tone, she had had a bad day. She was not up for Emma's foolish attempts of making the magic she knew she had. The magic that was so hard to get to show.
Then suddenly it had been there, a red rose in her hand, she had produced it and given it to her with a wordless spell. She smiled at Regina that moved got tears in her dark eyes. A small uttering escaped her as she said, "Awww Emma."

She was getting stronger, they both were, Regina was slowly letting go of her restrictions, relaxing more, finding herself curling up with Emma on the couch in her pajamas, wanting to stay there all day long. Her heart sank as she saw her red jacket in her closet. How could she forget that, was that on purpose. She took it out, held on to it and dragged in the essence of her. Her phone went off, picking it up, she heard her voice, "What's up, hot stuff."

"Getting dressed," she said plain and simple, her heart beating faster now and a smile seemed to appear on her red lips.

"Miss me?" she heard her voice.

"I..." in her head it went, 'Yes so very much.'

"Would it be so wrong to admit you do?" the blonde put her on the spot.

"Don't be stupid, I am not all that needy," there it was, the familiar snap.

"Alright, well I was thinking of spending the night at your house, but if you don't want me to I have better places to be," it was a lie.

"Dinner and a movie, then you spending the night with me?" she said casual.

"I...can't because I promised Henry i would take him already," she stopped, Henry would probably reschedule to the next night.

"I see," her mood worsened again.

"Why don't you come with us, I will pick you up at five?" she wondered.

"I'll be there," said she and hung up.

"So I've been thinking," Zelena said to Red, midday and she had lunch at the diner. Red had stopped by to take her order and now that she was done, she sat down for a few seconds. She raised a brow saying, "Yes because every good news in a relationship starts with I have been thinking, but go on. "
"I was thinking that we have kept more to ourselves lately, in our own little cave, what if we went to the movies tonight?" she suggested, looking at her love with wondering eyes.

"I am sure that we can agree to see something, or just make out under the full movie," said Red with a smile.

"Or throw popcorn at the others that are there," said Zelena with a small laughter.

"Have you any idea how much I love you?" Red wondered and smiled at her. Zelena's laughter had came to be one of her favorite sounds.

"I have an idea," said she with a nod, looking back down in her book.

"What are you reading anyways?" Red asked her, wondering what was so interesting in that book.

"This series Henry gave me, quite fascinating actually," she held up the cover.

"You know second movie is out next year if you want to see it," said Red, hearing Granny call and got up. She gave Zelena a quick kiss and walked back to the counter.

"I don't see why we have to drag the mayor along to the movies, I thought it was just going to be us," said Henry upset. He had not been too happy about Emma even suggesting it, still he know that whatever he said would not matter.

"She is lonely, I felt badly for her," said Emma with a shrug.

"That is such bull and you know it," he snapped at her, rather annoyed,, stomping down the stairs.

"Henry, wait up!" she called as she ran after him. If this was the start of the teenage years, she could hardly wait to see the progress of it. Coming pass the kitchen area she saw her mother saying, "What is going on?"

"You just can't make two people happy at once, if I tell Regina off she gets upset, and having her with upset Henry," said Emma as she ran out the door after her soon. He had ran out the moment she reached the end of the stairs. Snow shook her head as Charming came inside, saying, "Where were they going in such a hurry?"

"The movies," Snow said with a shrug.

"Means we can have movie night at home," said he and went over to his wife, to give her a loving peck on the lips. She nodded locking forward to having the house alone for the change.

Zelena and Red was standing outside for the movie theatre listening to Henry's Ipod singing, "Why do have to rude, don't you know I am human to, why do you have to be so rude I'm gonna marry her anyway. Why you gotto be so rude."
People looked at them funny as they walked by, the two in their own little world, dancing and singing. it was about thirty minutes until the movie started, they had ended up with the fault is in our stars. Funnily enough Belle had dragged her Rumple with to that movie. They had passed the dancing couple on the way. They stopped as the song ended and Red asked with a laughter, "Popcorn and finding seats?"

"Yeah, oh look at that," she nodded Emma and Regina coming walking with a sour Henry. Red shook her had saying, "That cannot end well."

"We'll see," said she and dragged her inside the movie theatre to get her popcorn. Emma was soon in the popcorn line as well, along with Henry, they were having a low conversation, too low for Zelena to hear. She saw Regina on the side, looking over at Emma, she seemed out of place. Gesturing and Emma giving Henry his ticket. The redhead paid and got out of the line to the waiting Red. As it would have it Rumple and Belle was sitting snuggled up some rows in front of them. Emma and Regina some rows behind. She smiled at Belle snuggled up with Rumple. She still had the dagger on her, but she hadn't done anything with it for a long time. It had been no use, in fact she had considered to give it to Belle. As the movie started she leaned on Red, snuggling up as well as she let itself do.

Regina looked down at them, at Red and Zelena, glad they had each other, then and Belle and Rumple, Zelena seemed to have let them be. Then she looked at Emma sitting next to her, her eyes at the screen. Insecure she placed her hand on her thigh, she didn't even know why she was insecure, only that she was. She smiled when Emma took it and leaned over to give her peck on the cheek, letting her know it was okay. Only she did not see Henry fuming next to Emma. In fact the couple did have no very obvious moves during the move as it went on. A small whisper, handholding, and a subtle kiss on the cheek. No making out like Red and Zelena obviously did. Regina even spotted Belle and Rumpelstiltskin making out once. In fact there was nothing that would suggest that Henry to act the way he did when the movie ended. In fact it startled her.

As the movie ended she and Emma made their way out with the rest of the audience. Once outside she was surprised Emma's hand snapped out of her own, she turned to see her flying through the air and land with a thud. There her son was standing with a fireball in his hand, ready to fire. The blonde looked as startled as her herself as Emma asked, "Henry, what is going on?"

"You never ask me anymore, what I want, you just take me here and there. I did not want to see that stupid movie, I did not want her to come, I did not want to come to this crappy small town. He shot the fire ball just as Red and Zelena came outside, joined by Belle and Rumpelstiltskin they had been debating over it. Emma quickly made a counter hit making it vanish.
She looked at him saying, "Henry, will you please calm yourself, we can talk about this?"

"I don't want to talk, I am tired of your lies. You said it wouldn't take long, that we would go back to New York when we were done. It never ends, mom," he shot another fireball at her, this one barely missed her.
Emma glared at Zelena, that whispered to Red, "I will give him one thing he is a fast learned."

"I didn't come here, so you could shack up with Regina to stay here, I liked New York I was happy there," said he annoyed. His squeaky voice rising. It was then it dawned on Emma, the reason for his magic, his anger was her. He held her in a magical grip while firing another ball, this she could not escape and she screamed out in pain.

It was only then it came from both Zelena and Regina at once, "Henry enough or you will kill her. Back down now!"

"Give me one good reason why I should listen to either of you," he snarled, angry tears, leaving his eyes. Red let go of Zelena's hand as she said,

"Because I am your aunt and she is your mother, you know I am telling the truth. I did not teach you so you could lash out on people for the fun of it. Now let her go."

"Minding me why did you teach him?" Regina glared at her older sister, then turning her attention to Henry. She took a deep breath and said, "My little Prince, I know you can remember me, please try."

"You are lying," he whispered, not daring to turn his magic on them, he knew for a fact they were stronger.

As he was focused on them Red managed to get to Emma, she could not release her though, Regina got closer to him, looking him into his eyes, dark brown meeting the eyes of the boy she had raised for so many years, "I know you can remember."

She couldn't wait for him to lower his guard, she moved in took him into her arms and kissed the top of his head. He gasped, Rumpelstiltskin gasped as waves went through town, the curse was broken. He still held Emma letting her go with a massive hit, Zelena got in a counter hit to ease her fall. Red got her into her arms fully as she looked at Regina for a verdict, she shook her head.

"Have you any idea what you have done," Zelena spoke, adding, "I told you to be careful, remember the laws of magic."

"She can't be..." he did not utter those words, he couldn't, Regina sank to the ground looking at her son, "If she is there is no end to the punishment you shall have."

"Double that," said Zelena in a firm tone. Spite the disaster she couldn't help but to feel a bit proud of the young boy. Not because of what he had done towards Emma, that was horrible. Even though some weeks back putting the savior out of play had been an advantage. She was proud due to the fact that the young boy had actually listened to her and now could use magic more than most. She however knew like Regina that actions could come with great consequences. And Henry was about to learn that the hard way.
