ENCHANTED FOREST.
Emma was back in bed. The two potion vials sitting in a box on the dresser. She told Regina she wanted to enjoy the time she had left with her and would make her decision if she left.
Regina knew it would not be her choice if the spell was undone. She was starting to wonder if she was ever getting home. But decided it wouldn't be so bad being here, with Emma. But she desperately wanted her son back, but as to not influence Emma's decision she left that desire unvoiced.
Regina had just finished writing two letters. One to Emma and one to herself. She pleaded with herself to give Emma a chance. To protect her little princess.
She licked the Envelope sealing it shut. Set it on the table and looked back at a sleeping Emma. There was a warm breeze and when she turned around, she was standing in her kitchen.
The evil Queen appeared at her vanity. Finding two letters in her script. She had done it, she was back.
One was labeled Regina. The other…
"Emma..." she ran her finger over the name as she thought of Emma lovingly, her heart ached.
"Regina?" she looked up and saw Emma Swan sitting in her bed with a sheet pulled up to her chest.
Regina just looked at her.
"Emma?!" her eyes started to pool with tears. Emma was here. In her bed!
She ran to her and tackled her to the bed.
"Emma! You're here!" She let the tears go she was so happy.
Emma rubbed Regina's back.
"yeah… you're the one that got out of bed before the sun rose this morning what were you…"
This Regina had longer hair. But the light was still in her eyes.
"what is going on…"Emma sat back and pulled the covers up higher.
"you're not… you're the evil queen… right?"
Regina's smiled dropped.
"I'm still Regina…" she said defensively.
Emma had hurt her feelings, great.
"yes, of course you are I just meant…." She swallowed her words.
"welcome back." She said hesitantly.
"Thanks." Regina said dropping her gaze.
"Oh Emma, Regina left us letters." She moved to go get them, as the air seemed to be getting thick between them.
Regina handed Emma her letter.
"Thanks." She didn't open it.
Regina gave her a quizzical look then went ahead opening her letter.
Regina,
Hey, how are you holding up? I am hoping you enjoyed spending time with my wife? She can be a big dork and a real pain sometimes but I love her, as I am sure you do. If you are reading this, you have let me go home. I cannot thank you enough, though I did not want to leave this Emma either. She is a beautiful woman on the inside and out. I always thought maybe I ruined Emma's life by casting the curse now I know everything worked out precisely as it should. You can save her Regina. She loves you. She is more shy than my Emma only because she feels no one loves her, you can relate to that. She needs a hero Regina, you can be that for her. I know it will be tempting to be the evil queen again. People here make it so hard to change. But you can stay light Regina, I believe in you, so does the fierce but shy blond, no doubt-ably still in your bed. Make her smile. Take care of my little Emma.
Love,
Yourself. Odd…
Regina looked up from her letter.
"Emma, sweetheart, are you going to read yours."
"I don't think I can…" her eyes welled with tears.
"would u…would u like me to read it to you."Regina placed her hand on Emma's. She nodded.
Regina carefully took the letter from Emma.
"Dear Emma,
I thought I would never again have love in my life here in the enchanted forest. But then there was that strange twist of faith, and then there was you. Know that leaving you is the hardest thing I ever have to do. I know I cannot promise anything but I hope more than anything that she loves you Emma and at the very least that she wants you…
I do. Always remember I DO love you, and I am hoping you find the happiness you so deserve. I hope she knows how to make you poptarts. I spoiled you.
Love you always my little princess.
Regina."
Regina glanced up at the Emma she hadn't seen in years. She placed her hand on Emma's shoulder.
"Emma I know we are just meeting. For the second time. But you have gotten to know me over however long I was here, I know I may be slightly different but I have also gotten to know you back in StoryBrooke. And Emma I can promise you without a doubt in my mind, I Do want you."
She saw Emma's eyes meet her's spilling over.
"With ALL of my heart." Regina's were now spilling over too.
"Emma, You have NO idea how happy I was that I sacrificed my happy ending to find you back here, sitting in my bed. I get a second chance, I will be better with you, I promise."
"Regina …"
"What dear?" She pushed Emma's hair behind her ear, a motion emma had grown accustomed to.
"Will you still want me if I am having a baby?"
"Dear are you?" Regina's eyes widened.
Emma just bit her bottom lip.
Regina took a deep breath.
Regina grabbed Emma's face
"look at me. I want YOU. And whatever does or doesn't come with that."
Emma fell into her embrace.
"ok. Good." She pulled herself from Regina's embrace, and took out two vials from a box.
"You promise me?" Emma looked for any hint of a lie in Regina's eyes.
"I promise."Emma threw the bottles at the ground smashing them.
Regina recognized the colors. She knew both well.
"Regina, how do you feel about the name Henry?" Emma's smile grew wide and Regina jumped up and placed a hand over her mouth.
"You… your having Henry!?" Emma smiled and nodded.
Regina grabbed her and kissed her savior hard.
A happy Ending.
Hey guys thanks for reading my fict! :D I loved writing it and I still want to do at least a follow up of Emma Returning home. Should I continue a little more after that or just let it end there?
