*****Chapter 13*****
Regina made her way down the hall to Maleficent's room. As she reached the door she shoved the door open without knocking.
"Mal we need to talk!" she yelled as she entered.
"Oh…Fuck! Mistress, right there!" the redhead yelled as she clutched at the head between her legs.
The blonde signaled the one-minute motion with her hand, as her tongue didn't stop as she probed the girl underneath her. Regina rolled her eyes, as she crossed her arms, impatiently tapping her foot.
"Oh…oh…Mist-ress!" the girl screamed as her back arched flooding the witch's mouth.
Maleficent gently kisses the woman's cilt as she with drew. "Thank you dearie that will be all for now, come back later." She said as she licked her lips clean, wiping her mouth.
"Regina, how can I help you?" she asked slightly annoyed as she made her way off the bed, wrapping the sheet around her sweaty body.
"Clean up and meet me in my library." Ordered the Queen as she puffed away in a mist of purple smoke.
Maleficent looked down at the servant girl, "Your Queen seems pissed." She said with a smirk. "Meet me after noon." She added as she waved her hand cleaning and dressing herself.
The girl didn't bother answering as she pulled her self out of the bed; with a quick nod she began to dress as she watched her Mistress flash away. She was looking forward to meeting again with the golden haired woman.

Emma headed out to her cell; she had passed the Queen's father on her way out making up a lame excuse that he bought a little too easily. She felt slightly guilty at dodging the older man, but she didn't have the energy to even deal with him at the moment, and the fact that she smelled of sex and his daughter didn't help either. Her head was racing with thoughts of the pervious night, and that morning.
She needed a bath first; next food, and lastly she needed to talk with Mulan. The blacksmith couldn't believe she gave into her primal needs, that she let her magic; their magic control her into making love once again. Everything was so fucked up Emma couldn't think straight. She cheated on Red with her Wife, who also just happens to be the damn Evil Queen if that wasn't poetic justice she didn't know what was.
She needed to speak with Blue as well, if Regina had seen her son then he must be close by which meant Red and her Father were near by as well. Her head hurt. The blonde made her way into the bathing area, where she let her body sink into the hot bath, she slowly washed away the scent of sex and shame as she cleaned her body. The smell of vanilla and jasmine soon filled her scenes as she scrubbed away making red marks as she cleaned. She slowly stepped out, wrapping a towel around her body as she turned to see Mulan sitting on the bench where she placed her dry, clean clothes.
"Ahh!" the blonde screamed, as she clutched at her heart. "Fuck Mulan you scared me!"
"For being a stone hard trained warrior, you are easy to sneak up on, especially since I said your name twice." Mulan said with a laugh.
"What? Really?" the blonde asked, as she grabbed her clothes walking behind the changing screen.
"Yes, now where have you been? We have been worried the Queen took off with you." Mulan said as she fiddled with her bracelet.
Emma debated about lying but knew there was no point to it, not with Mulan, the woman could read her better than anyone she had ever met. "I was with the Queen but she didn't take me."
"The Queen huh?" the raven-haired girl asked as Emma came into view.
"She-uh-need to talk then…um one thing lead to another and well yeah." She gave vaguely.
"Emma," Mulan looked at her as if she had grown two heads all of a sudden, "She is the Evil Queen!"
"Don't you think I know that?" Emma asked, "She has taken so much from me! From my family! But-but she has also given me so much more…my son, our son. And I love her Mulan, as much as I try not to I do…" with a heavy sigh the blonde sat down next to her friend, "She is the love of life, my one true love, and yet she is my worst nightmare," she said in a small voice, "And last night- last night was not planned, nor was it even on my mind. She has met my son…our son. How it happen, I'm not sure, but that means Red and my Father are close by. She knows about Red and she was pissed, and very jealous. Then I got upset, we fought, and I-we used our magic and it sparked something inside us, then one thing lead to another. Bam! We land in her bed, fucking, making love till the sun rises and then again when we woke up. Then the real world came spinning back and here I am while she is up there. I thought you were all excited about me and the Queen?" She finished as she pointed in the direction of the castle.
"I am, but Emma she has done a lot I figured you would play hard to get first." She said playfully. "So she has seen your son and Red?" Mulan asked.
"Yes and like I said I didn't really have control of it, our magic it sort of took over."
"I'm sorry Emma."
"I don't know what I can do, but something must be done. My son is near and may be in danger; I would hope Regina would not hurt our son, but at this point I don't know what she will do."
"I don't think she will hurt your boy. Maybe Red but not the boy." Mulan says as she gives her a reassuring smile.
Emma smiles back, "Thank you, my friend."
"Lets get you some food and discuss what we can do." Mulan says as she gets up.
"That sounds like a plan." Emma says as she follows her friend.
******SQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQ********
"Regina we can not stop the games" Maleficent says as she looks over at her friend, "We still don't know what Meg has planned, we have to keep up appearances."
"I do not care what my bitch of a sister has planned, I have to do this for Emma!"
They have been talking for over an hour now and as noon nears the blonde witch can't help but worry if she will miss her plans with the redhead. She shakes her head trying to stop the dirty thoughts that plague her mind. She focuses her mind back to the task at hand, Regina and Emma. Regina desperate to prove her love; Emma trying to run from hers' and the Queen herself. The two women gave the blonde a headache. Maleficent is more than positive Emma hasn't even told Regina the truth, and as much as she wants too, the blonde knows if she reveals the missing piece of the puzzle that would send Regina over the edge.
"Regina, stop and think about this. What will Meg do to Emma, and your son when she finds out about them?"
That makes the Queen stop cold in her tracks.
"You need to think about this, we can have the games once a month, spread them out, but we can't stop them. What about the Kings that have come to see the Games? It will be very strange that the Queen suddenly stops them, and then announces she is married and has a son. We have to think about all of this."
"Your right, I'm letting my emotions get to me."
"It's fine, I understand. I remember the last time your emotions got to you, you nearly sent us to a place without magic. Luckily you listen then, and we joined forces to take down Snow and her army. So listen this time too okay. We need to get the Kings out of here for one…" she started.
"Yes so we can get rid of the Princesses too huh." Regina said with a evil smirk.
"Yes well, that wouldn't hurt."
"Mal, my friend, how do you stand being so close to Aurora and not try anything?"
"I keep busy as you saw earlier, by the way that was rude I was no where near done." She said with a smirk.
"Yes I can imagine, you can have her if you wish, you seemed more into her than the others."
"She is talented, but Tara is not- she is- well different than the others." She said with a soft smile.
"Then she is all yours."
"Thank you. As I was saying, we need to get them away from here somehow."
"We can send them away for a while till at least the next battle starts, a month from now. That would get King Midas out of my hair for a while at least."
"Good, I'm sure Emma would love to tear him apart once she sees him all over you." She said playfully. "She wouldn't be able to deny her love for you then."
"As fun as that sounds I am sure that would go very badly." Regina says as lust overtakes her eyes at the thought of her blonde warrior ripping the King to sheds.
The clock on the mantel struck '12' a loud gong noise penetrated the room "Oh I must go, I am meeting Henry and his…Mother."
Maleficent nodded, "That's fine I have a meeting of my own I must attend to." She said with a smirk.
"We can meet later, to discuss when we will send everyone home."
"That's easy at dinner announce that you need time to prepare your warriors and the battle ground, and send them away."
"True, very well them I will see you at dinner." With that she was on her way to meet her son.
******SQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQ******
Regina made her way down to the stables after quickly changing her clothes into her riding attire. As she neared the stables she saw Henry and Ruby standing under a near by tree.
"I hope you didn't wait too long" the queen said as she made her way closer to the duo. She repressed the urge to ripe Ruby apart with her bare hands, thinking it wouldn't make a good impression on her son. Her son. That thought alone made her heart pang with in her chest.
"Not at all your Majesty." Red said with a fake smile.
"Hello Henry, how are you young one?" She asked as she bent down to talk to him.
"Hello your Majesty, I'm good! I'm really excited to see Mia!" he said with a large smile.
"Wonderful." The Queen replied with a smile to match his, she nodded to Ruby as she made her way around them looking for the stable boy she knew would be near by. "Jackson!" she called out.
Soon a tall burly man appeared, "Yes, my Queen?"
"Fetch Eva for me, me and Young Master Henry here will be taking her out for a ride."
"Yes my Queen." He said quickly running off to do her bidding.
The Queen turned back to the duo behind her. "Thank you for bring Henry this afternoon, you can pick him up after dinner." She said as politely as she could using every ounce of restraint in her body not to pluck the young woman's heart out of her chest.
"I beg your pardon, but I am not leaving Henry here alone with you, Your Majesty." Red said coolly.
"You will and you shall, the boy is perfectly fine, now run along." The Queen said as she stood full height. Her tone was cold and demanding, but she couldn't help herself.
Red grabbed the boys hand quickly, "Come son we are leaving." She said harshly as she began to drag a protesting Henry away from the Queen.
"No, I don't want to Mommy!" Henry whined.
Regina gave chase following the pair. "You heard the boy he doesn't wish to leave, unhand him." The Queen said with fire in her voice, her temper beginning to flare.
Red stopped pulling Henry to her side as she glared at the Queen. "He is my son! I'm not going to just leave him here with you!" she wrapped a protective arm around her little cub.
"Mommy?" Henry said softly, making the fuming werewolf look down at her son. "She's nice Mommy, she won't hurt me." He didn't understand why his mommy was acting this way. She never got mad, never yelled, he was getting scared.
Red's eyes soften as she looked down at her boy. "Henry, please just listen to me." She said softer.
The boy struggled against her arms again trying to get away, he was on a mission, he was here to save his Mama, and the Queen was going to help him. He couldn't leave.
"Henry stop!"
"Unhand him at once!" Regina's eyes flashed with lighting as her temper hit its mark. "The boy is perfectly safe here, if I wanted to hurt him I could have done it yesterday when I found him wondering in the stables. Where you were nowhere to be found I might add." The queen said cruelly. Regina bit her tongue trying her hardest to hold in the many many insults and demands. Things like: He is my son! She is my wife! You whore! And many others, but she stopped her self.
Henry pulled on his Mommy's arm when she looked down at him he pulled again, making her kneel to his level. "Mommy, she isn't gonna hurt me. She likes me, she said I have the same name as her Daddy and she loves her Daddy." He said with innocence only a child could.
"No Henry and that's that! If I can't stay then either can you and that's final." Red said in her 'mommy voice', and Henry knew she meant it. He looked over to the Queen with pleading eyes.
"I could use my magic to send you away, you know that right." The Queen said coldly.
"Yes you could but you won't and we both know it." Red said smugly as her heart beat wildly in her chest hoping the Queen wouldn't call her bluff. "I. Am. Staying." She added sternly.
Both women glared at each other as Jackson came upon the tense environment, he stood still as possible wishing he could sink into the ground at that moment.
"Jackson! Ready another horse for Miss Ruby." She said with out breaking eye contact with the brunette in front of her. Sneering as Ruby smiled in victory. She hated the whore even more than she had before.
She needed a way to talk to the boy with out his Mother hearing it, she sighed as she turned around walking into the stables where Jackson, the stable boy was. The Queen knew the pair had followed once she heard the small steps of her and Emma's son. That's when it hit her. The boy would have her and Emma's magic running through his little veins. There was a way they could talk but how to get it started. Skin-to-skin contact would do it or at least she hoped it would. A plan began to work in her mind as she grabbed the reins to Mia handed to her by a near by worker.
"The boy will ride with me, I have a picnic planned. You can follow." She ordered. "Come Henry." The boy jumped out of his Mother's arms and into Regina's waiting arms.
Red couldn't help the hurt that flashed across her eyes as she watched her son willingly jump into the snake pit. She sent a prayer to the gods, that the boy would be safe. She watched as the Queen picked up her son placing him on the horse, and then effortlessly hoisted herself up onto the mare.
Regina looked back to see Ruby mounting the stallion her stable boy had chosen. "Do you remember Mia, Henry?" she asks softly.
He nods "Yes!"
"Good, once we get where we are going. I am going to teach you how to brush her okay?"
"I know how to brush a horse, my Mama lets me groom Thor with her." He says as he pets Mia's mane.
Regina smiles at this information, she wishes she could have been there. "Then maybe you can help me brush her?"
"Sure, I love to help."
The Queen reaches around him pulling him tightly towards her making sure he won't fall, looking back she sends a nod toward the other woman as she takes off with a gentle trot. Red makes sure to keep close, her back is ridged as if she is expecting an attack at any moment, and with the Evil Queen one can never be too careful.
The Queen took a deep breath, placing her hand over Henry's as she sent a wave of magic through his little body. This would tell if Emma was telling the truth, if he could hear her then he was her son.
* Henry, don't be alarmed * She sent and gently as she could.
He turned his little body as best her could looking at her, her heart skipped a beat he was truly hers.
* This will be a way for us to talk without your Mother hearing okay? It will be our secret. *
She felt him nod, looking down she saw him smiling at her, he had his Mama's smile and that warmed her heart.
* Now to talk to me, you just have to think it and then think about me okay. *
* Can- can you hear me? * He sent a little unsure.
"Wonderful." She said proudly.
He beamed a smile proudly, * Magic is so cool! * He sent.
Regina was so proud of her boy he was a natural.
* Yes it can be * She sent with a smile. * Now ask me the question *
* Did you find her? *
* Yes I have young one. She is safe and you can see her soon, but first you and I are going to have a small conversation. You can't tell your Mother okay. *
* But why? * He asked softly.
She moved her hand from over his, steering Mia down the path a little faster trying to put some distance between Ruby and herself.
* Because my boy, I'm trying to help you Mama right now and if your Mommy finds out she might interfere putting your Mama in danger, and I know you don't want that. * She felt bad for lying but it was partly true. She knew Ruby was up to something why else would they be there.
* But Mommy misses Mama, she cries at night for her when she thinks I'm asleep. * He said sadly.
Her heart clenched in her chest at the boy's sad tone. * Henry I know that they miss each other, but we have to make sure its safe for both of you, okay? *
"Okay," he whispered in a small voice.
"Henry, are you okay?" Red asked slightly annoyed that they both had forgotten she was there.
Henry looked up a little surprised, while Regina repressed her jealousy. "I'm fine Mommy. I just wanted to stay a little longer." He lied.
Regina was impressed, and felt a little guilty for having Henry lie to his Mother. "Don't worry Henry you can come by anytime you like okay, my home is open to you anytime you wish." She said sending the boy a bright smile.
He nodded exactly as Red gave the woman a very odd look, where the hell was the damn Evil Queen? She had only seen pieces of the woman and that was only to defend her son. Red felt very confused at the woman she saw next to her.
Soon they came across a small clearing where a small river was, Regina steered Mia through a shallow part of the small stream, as she came across they neared a small cabin. She laughed at the irony of bring her son and wife's lover to the place Emma and her met and married, if only they knew.
"Here we are." The Queen said as she jumped off the horse, holding her arms for the young boy picking him up then placing him on the floor. As soon as she let him go he took off like a rocket, running around the small area they were at. She took the bit out of Mia's mouth so she could graze freely, and then did the same to the steed Ruby rode on once she dismounted.
"Henry stop running around," Red said as she watched him jump around trying to jump off a large boulder onto one near it.
"Don't worry dear he is fine, like I said he is welcome to anything I own, and this belongs to me to." 'And is so does his Mama' she thought to herself. As she began unloading the bundle of food she had the cooks prepare her for this small adventure.
"Can I help?" Red asked as she stood awkwardly to the side feeling very much out of place, as if she was the stranger not the Queen.
"Yes, can you go inside and gather some plates? They are in the left hutch, near the bin for washing dishes." She said quickly as she busied herself.
"Yes, your Majesty." With that Red took off after the plates.
The Queen smiles as she watched the boy try to catch a frog near the stream. * Henry, come over here and wash up. * She sent, knowing that would get his attention faster.
When he looked up Regina beckoned him over with a wave and a smile. Red watched from the door in amazement, Henry never responded to her in that way ever. She watched as the boy washed up in a small pale near the table, scrubbing his hands like she had taught him. Jealousy rolled through her as the Queen reached over wiping dirt off the boys face, and he didn't shy away from her.
She cleared her throat effectively breaking the moment, "Here are the plates your Majesty." She jeered.
The Queen ignore her tone and focused on her son, "So Henry, what do you think of my Kingdom?"
"Its very pretty," he said politely, "Mommy said we were going to the 'Dark Kingdom' but there is nothing dark here."
Regina snickered.
"Henry!" Red scolded.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Well I am glad you like it young one." She said sweetly, as she sent a glare towards the other brunette.
Red flushed with embarrassment, "Your Majesty…"
"No need Miss Ruby, I understand." She said quickly stopping any excuse the younger woman could come up with.
They all began to eat; Henry had his fill as he tried many things he had never seen before. His favorite was the Fig cake they had for dessert.
* Henry, come here please * Regina sends to the boy.
* Yes ma'am * He sent as he walked over.
"Do you want to help me brush Mia?" she asked
"Yes!"
"Good." She said with a smile.
* Henry, do you understand what I was telling you earlier? * She asked.
* Yes, I do, well sorta, but I won't tell. *
* Good, is there- is there anything you want me to tell her? * She asked.
* Yes, tell her that I love her and I miss her, that I am being a good boy for Mommy like she always told me to be. *
Regina felt her heart break for the boy, she wished she could do more, buy Maleficent was right they needed to find out more about what Meg has planned. * I will my boy I will *
* Tell her that the Happy Endings are back. *
This caught Regina off guard, * Happy Endings? * She probed
* Yes the Blue Fairy said…. * He stopped suddenly.
* The Blue Fairy said what my boy? *
* I can't say…*
* Why not? * She asked as calmly as she could.
* Because she told me not to tell Mommy or Grandpa. *
Regina rubbed the boys back gently without knowing it. * I am not your Mommy or your Grandpa, Henry. I am the Queen and I simply want to help you my boy. *
* I guess you are right. * He pauses for a beat then begins again. * Okay, she said she was going to fix what went wrong. That I am going to meet my real Momma…that she was going to help us find our happy ending with my Momma… that things didn't go the way they should have, someone messed them up. *
Regina was surprised that the boy knew Ruby wasn't his real mother, the boy even knew more than she did. * So Ruby isn't your real Mother? * She asked even though she knew the answer.
* No Mama fell in love with someone, but they hurt her really bad. They don't know I know but sometimes when Mama is really sad, Mommy will ask her if she is thinking of her, but Mama always lies and says she isn't. I don't know why Mama lies but she does it a lot to Mommy *
* Henry, sometimes adults say things they don't mean because they don't want to hurt the people around them, or if they don't want to talk about it. * She sighs heavily knowing she is partly the cause of Henry's pain.
* That's what Mama says, but I don't understand it. * He says sadly.
* You will one day my boy. Now go play, I'm sure your Mother want to leave soon. * She sighs as she watches the boy go play wishing she could make everything better for him.
"Is he okay?" Red asks from behind her.
"Of course dear, he got board with grooming the horses." She says with a small smile.
"I know my son, your Majesty, why is he sad?"
"He isn't sad dear, or at least from what I can tell, but dear he is your son so you tell me." The Queen shoots out.
Red doesn't reply, merely looking at the Queen like she is trying to crack a forbidden lock. Slowly she walks away taking her seat once again as she watches her son finally catch his first frog. He smiles proudly showing the Queen then herself. As time passes Red notices how late it has gotten.
"Come Henry, we need to get home, your grandpa will worry if we are gone any longer." Red said as she gathered the horses.
"Just a little longer Mommy, please." Henry began to whine.
"No Henry."
"Henry, my boy, listen to your Mother." Regina said.
"But…"
"No sir, and if your good maybe you can come see me the day after tomorrow." She said sternly.
"Okay." The boy sighed heavily, making his way towards his Mother.
Red shot her a grateful look. The Queen nodded at the younger woman.
"Take the Horse, you can bring him back when you bring back Henry the day after next or when you can." Regina said.
Red was about to decline, but decided against it. The two had bonded and if the boy loved her only a few moment she knew after hours in the sun there was no way to keep them apart. "Yes your Majesty." She said with a nod as the pair made their way to the horse. Henry ran back giving the brunette a crushing hug, the Queen kissed the top of her son's head. Then ran back to her. She sighed yep there was no keeping the pair apart.
The Queen watched them ride away as she made her way to Mia. She quickly mounted the mare and made her way back to the castle there was much she needed to do.
