Ch.12
The Evil Queen's body laid on a small white satin bed that was raised very high off the ground, so that she was chest level with them when they had entered the vault. She was wearing a long and elegant purple and black dress that went high around the back of her neck but plunged down past her breasts so her black lace bra was showing. Her hair was piled high in a large and elegant bun on top of her head.
Emma suddenly inhaled sharply and then turned away bent over, trying her best not to become sick. Regina turned to her and rubbed her back, as she swung Christian onto her hip to hold him better.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Regina asked.
"She can't take the sight of you dead." Dark Emma answered for her.
Regina turned to look at Dark Emma. "Oh."
"I too feel the same, but with the darkness in me I have no ability to become physically ill."
Regina continued to rub Emma's back as the blonde began to throw up the contents of her stomach.
"It's alright Emma, I'm not dead. I'm right here." Regina spoke soothingly to the blonde.
"It's no use, she will be unable to look at her. I believe it's part of the True Love bond. Do you both see flecks of gold in the other's eyes?" Dark Emma asked.
"Yes…Why?" Regina asked cautiously.
"The bonded. They have ways of identifying each other." Dark Emma said as she began to stroke The Evil Queen's hair.
Regina looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"
"True Love can happen to any two souls, but Bonded True Love…it is…different. I am guessing that it is the reason you and her were able to conceive a child together. At least that has been my theory since I found you."
"You are still being very vague." Regina said impatiently.
"Bonded True Love is when the souls of a past True Love pair get recycled, so to speak. Reincarnation is another term used to describe it. You and your Emma are a very strong magically bonded pair to create a child. Which means the souls you are reincarnated from must have been very powerful as well. The bonded pair can always recognize the other with their golden eyes. But even I, with all the Dark One's powers and memories have never heard of a child being created from the bonded pair."
Regina nodded as she took in the information. She helped Emma steady herself as the other woman straightened up but kept her back to the dead queen.
"Regina, what is she saying?" Emma asked, still sounding weak.
"I'll explain later, but I think I understand how Christian has the ability to bring people back to life."
The Dark Swan nodded. "Yes. Now, speaking of that, could you allow your son to wake my bonded please?"
Regina looked hesitant.
"What now?" Dark Emma asked annoyed.
"I am worried about what you two will do once she is awake. The people who you will hurt."
"It's not your concern. These are our people, not yours." Dark Emma snapped. "Now wake her! We have a deal!"
"Regina, please just wake her. I can't stand it. Just knowing her body is there is still killing me." Emma said right before more vomit spewed from her mouth.
"Why is it effecting her like this, but when she died I didn't get sick?" Regina asked still not sure if she wanted to let Christian wake the Evil Queen.
"The effects can be different from person to person, just as illnesses are. You may have experienced a momentary flare of your old homicidal tendencies perhaps?" Dark Emma asked.
"Yes…I almost killed everyone before she woke." Regina admitted.
"There you go. Since Emma doesn't have any of those old feelings in her, her symptoms are making her physically ill."
"Regina…Please, it's becoming hard to breath!" Emma gasped for air.
Regina quickly placed Christian on the bed next to The Queen's body and waited.
"Come on sweetheart! You can do it! Wake her up!" Regina said sweetly to the baby.
But Christian simply looked at her and gurgled a little, then smiled up at his mother. His big green eyes looking happy to have so many Mommy's around.
"He isn't waking her because he sees me. He woke Emma because he wanted her to play with him. I have to leave, so he will wake her up!" Regina said as she went to hand the baby to Emma. But Emma was in no condition to hold her own hair back, let alone a baby.
"Give him to me. I will hold him." The Dark Emma said.
Regina's eyes widened as she took a step back from Dark Emma, shielding Christian from her.
"No way. You think I'm an idiot? There is no way I am just handing him over to you!" Regina said defensively.
"You said it yourself, you can't be here to do it, and that one is going to be no help." Dark Emma said pointing to Emma in the corner, as she began to somehow vomit even more.
"Regina!"…. "No!"… "Don't listen to her!" Emma said in between spews of liquid.
Both Regina and Dark Emma wrinkled their nose at her in disgust.
"I don't think we have a choice. Stay here with them while he does it." Regina said as she handed the baby to the evil woman.
Dark Emma took Christian in her hands and smiled. She walked the baby over to the bed again as Regina left the vault in a magical cloud of smoke. Christian began to twist around as he looked for his mother but couldn't find her, so he started to cry.
"It's okay little one. Look, Mommy is right here, sleeping. Can you wake her up?" Dark Emma asked.
Emma did her best to keep her eyes on them, but the sight of Regina's body caused the vomit to come up harder, and made breathing almost impossible.
Christian looked down at The Evil Queen's face and smiled. Dark Emma lowered him down a bit, and watched as Christian put his fat little hands on her face. He padded his hands on her forehead and nose and squawked trying to wake her up. When she didn't stir he started to cry yet again.
"That's it. Wake her up. She needs your help." Dark Emma encouraged.
Christian started to cry harder as he slapped his hand hard on the queen's forehead. A sudden burst of light ran through her body. Dark Emma quickly set the baby roughly on the stone floor and quickly lifted her Regina's head as she waited for her to wake.
Christian screamed loud as his little body laid uncomfortable on the cold floor. Emma tried to get to him but she fell over, too sick to move.
Regina heard the baby's cries from outside the vault and quickly reappeared next to Emma. She took in the scene. Dark Emma was cradling the Evil Queen who was still dead, while her Emma was on the floor in a pool of vomit just a foot away from their screaming son.
"What the hell happened? I was gone for thirty seconds!" Regina yelled as she picked up Christian, then quickly went over to Emma, and tried to help her up.
"It didn't work, she is still dead!" Dark Emma yelled, she looked like she was about to kill them all.
"It takes a minute! Just wait!" Regina yelled franticly. She knew their lives depended on this working.
They all held their breath.
Minutes passed and nothing happened. They had almost given up when suddenly Emma spoke.
"Look, her finger moved." Emma said quietly, her voice almost gone from the extent of her vomiting.
Dark Emma ran around to the other side of her Regina's body and watched as her fingers began to twitch. She grabbed her hand and looking into her face. "My love. Please wake. Come on, open your eyes!"
Regina stood so she could see what was happening better. Emma was regaining her strength and had stopped vomiting. She watched as her evil self fluttered her eyes open and looked at Dark Emma for a moment before they started kissing passionately.
"You saved me." The Evil Queen said lovingly to Dark Emma once they broke their kiss.
"Did you ever doubt I would?" Dark Emma asked.
"Not even or a moment." The Queen said as they began to kiss again.
Regina looked away to give them some privacy and instead focused her attention on helping Emma stand back up.
When they finally stopped kissing, The Evil Queen took in her surroundings as she sat up.
"Who the hell are they?" The Queen asked.
"They are us, from a different world. They brought you back to me, and now I owe them anything they want. I am so grateful that they brought you back to life." Dark Emma said with love in her eyes. Regina and Emma watched as she looked at the Evil Queen like she was the only person in the world.
"How did you manage to bring me back to life?" Evil Regina asked as Dark Emma helped her down off the high bed.
"Our son did it." Emma answered.
"YOUR son?" The Queen asked.
"Yes, he is their son. He is very magical, you are the second person today that he has risen from the dead." Dark Emma said, still not taking her eyes off Evil Regina.
"So how did it happen? How did they kill me?" Evil Regina asked.
Dark Emma gritted her teeth. "Please, I don't want to think about it anymore. I am still filled with rage, but I set that aside to find a way to bring you back. I thought we could kill them all together." Dark Emma said as she put her forehead to Evil Regina's.
"You waited for me to kill them? That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done!" Evil Regina said as she hugged Dark Emma tight and kissed her.
Emma looked over to Regina awkwardly. "I know what they said was super evil and all, but it was also strangely romantic at the same time." She whispered.
Regina had to bit her lip to contain her laugh. "I know what you mean, I can practically see them now, holding hands and basking in the town's people's blood." Regina said with a grin.
Both woman erupted in a fit of giggles. "Oh yes, and then they will dance together on top of their bodies. Sooooo romantic!" Emma whispered sarcastically.
They laughed some more until they realized that Evil Regina and Emma had stopped talking and were now looking at them.
"Are you two done laughing at us?" Dark Emma asked.
"Sorry, it's just odd to hear yourself having a conversation you never thought you would have." Emma explained.
"Oh trust me, we know the feeling. Seeing you two giggling like little school girls had the same effect for us." Dark Emma said with a smirk.
"Yes, this is all getting very odd. Dear, can you please send them back to their own world now?" Evil Regina asked.
"Of course my love." Dark Emma said as she kissed her hand. She walked over to Regina and Emma and magically poofed a large top hat in her hand.
"Here you go. Just as promised. Just spin it while thinking of the time and place you want to go. And also you will need this." Dark Emma said as she handed Regina the top hat and a small scroll of paper. "It is the exact time and place I took your son. That way he won't even be noticed as missing."
"Thank you." Emma said as she took Christian from Regina and began to leave the vault.
Regina looked at Dark Emma not knowing the best way to say what she wanted to say. "So, I am good now. I can't ask you two to do anything harsh to the people of this town, but they killed my Emma and I think they…" Regina began but was cut off by Dark Emma.
"Regina, I cannot just let these people go unpunished. They killed my Regina and your Emma. They must pay, and nothing you can say will stop me!" Dark Emma said loudly so to make sure Emma could hear her from outside, and winked at Regina.
Regina smiled and looked down at the floor. "Thank you." She whispered.
Evil Regina grabbed her arm lightly as she started to leave. "Don't worry, we will make them pay for what they did." She whispered back. Regina smiled at her too and mouthed the word 'Thanks'.
Outside of the vault Regina walked over to Emma and the baby and set the hat on the ground. She spun it once and stood back as she watched a portal grow. She stood back and held Emma's free hand. Together they jumped through the portal.
Their landing was much more graceful than their last one had been. Both woman landed on their feet and looked around. They had landed right outside Regina's vault, only this time everything looked different. There was no sign of a war. Everything looked to be as they remembered. They walked quietly along a street until they saw a newspaper on someone's front law. Emma picked it up and read the date.
"We did it! It is the same day that Dark Emma took Christian. We just need to get him into his crib before future you or I wakes up and sees him missing!" Emma said.
When they reached the mansion it was almost daybreak. Regina knew that they didn't have much time before everyone in the town would be awake. She held Christian as Emma brought up a ladder to climb through the still open window from when Dark Emma took him.
"It was smart she didn't use magic. I would have put a magical protection around the house to alert us if magic was being used." Regina whispered to Emma as she set the ladder up.
"Yeah but not a regular alarm for the window opening?" Emma asked sarcastically.
Regina rolled her eyes at the comment.
"Goodbye my little prince, I shall be seeing you again soon." Regina whispered as she placed a final kiss on Christian's head. She then handed him to Emma and held the ladder in place as Emma began to climb up.
"Be careful!" Regina whisper yelled up to the blonde.
When Emma reached the window she carefully climbed in with the baby and set him down in his crib by his mother's bed. "Goodbye. Be good for your Mommy's." Emma whispered. She looked at the bed and saw her future self and future Regina sleeping peacefully; blissfully unaware of all the trauma that they had just gone through. As she tiptoes back to the window Christian babbled in his crib which caused his mothers to stir. Emma quickly dove to the closet and hid inside, only able to see through a crack in the door. A second later a sleepy Regina walked over to Christian's crib and picked him up.
"Good morning my little prince!" Regina said as she kissed the baby on the cheek. He yawned as his mother held him close and went back to the bed. The sleeping Emma began to wake up as her partner and child entered the bed. "Say, wake up Momma! Mommy and Christian want breakfast!" Regina said in a high pitched voice.
The sleepy Emma propped herself up on her elbow and kissed Regina. "Good morning my little royal family."
"Well, not your whole royal family." Regina said with a smile. "Speaking of which, Henry is going to be late for his first day back to college if we don't get going soon. We still have to pack the car with his dorm stuff. Could you wake him up while I do baby duty?" Regina asked.
"Sure, no problem!" Emma said as she turned over in bed and put her hands behind her head. She took a deep breath and yelled. "HENRY WAKE UP! YOU NEED TO GET READY TO MOVE BACK TO COLLEGE!"
Regina rolled her eyes. "I meant for you to get up and wake him."
"He's going to be a junior in college, he's grown enough to know to wake on time." Emma said.
"Really, so what's your excuse then?" Reinga said with a smirk.
Emma rolled her eyes and moved so she could kiss Regina. "Well you certainly motivate me to get up." Emma said as she kissed Regina again. They both smiled at each other and laughed when Christian began to babble at them.
"Henry let's go!" Emma yelled again.
A moment later Henry opened the door, only he wasn't alone. In his arms was a child around the age of a year. She had blonde hair that was tied into two short little pigtails that spouted from the sides of her head and she was wearing purple footed pajamas.
The Emma hiding in the closet almost screamed. "Oh my God! Henry knocked up Violet!" Emma whispered to herself.
"Moms, you need to get a higher baby gate. Maddy climbed over it again, I found her playing in the laundry room." Henry said as he walked over to Emma. "Here, go to Momma." He said as he handed the little girl over to Emma.
Emma, who was still hiding, was now very confused. If Emma was 'Momma' then what the hell is going on?" Emma and Regina couldn't have had two children within two years. Could they?
"Oh please, she is not climbing over it, she is magically poofing out. I know it! She has to be using her magic!" Emma exclaimed.
"She is far too little to be using any magic. We aren't even sure Madison or Christian are magical yet. Let's first try a higher baby gate before we go off saying our child is magical." Regina said.
"I'm with Mom, I doubt either of them are magical at all. I mean, I am the child of the Savior and also The Dark One's grandson. If I don't have any powers, then neither do they." Henry reasoned.
Emma watched as the two mothers and their three children walked out of the room, and down stairs. All of them still debating if they think the babies have any magic. Emma laughed to herself as she snuck out of the closet and back out the window, sliding down the ladder like a pro.
"Ugh, I hate when you come down the ladder like that!" Regina said angrily.
"Well if you didn't make me clean your gutters so often, I wouldn't be so good at it." Emma said.
"I only ask you to clean them so I can look at your ass for a few hours without you knowing." Regina said as they stashed the ladder in the bushes.
"Oh I knew." Emma said with a smirk.
"How?" Regina asked.
"Because Regina, no one needs their gutters cleaned twice in three days." Emma said with a smug smile.
Regina laughed. "Damn, thought I was being sneaky…"
Once they were off the property Regina poofed them back to the cemetery grounds so they could make their last portal without anyone seeing them.
"Regina I have to tell you something that I found out when I was up there." Emma said.
"It can wait. Let's get home first." Regina said as she spun the hat and created their portal home. They held hands and jumped together. They again landed gracefully with both feet on the ground.
"Finally!" Emma said as she dramatically threw herself on the ground and rolled around on the grass like a puppy would.
Regina rolled her eyes, but couldn't contain the grin on her face. "You are a child."
Emma stood up and took Regina's hand and poofed them into Regina's house, and into her bedroom.
"Speaking of children." Emma said as she pushed Regina down onto the bed. "We need to start working on our kid!"
"Christian won't be born for another two years. Which means we have over a year before I will even become pregnant with him!" Regina said with a huff as Emma jumped on top of her.
"I wasn't talking about Christian. I was talking about our daughter, Madison." Emma said as she grabbed Regina's ass and pulled her closer, claiming her lips in a rough and passionate kiss.
It took Regina a minute to process what Emma had just said, before she pushed her a way so their lips could break apart. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying when I went to put Christian back I found out we had a child before him. A little girl named Madison."
Regina's eyes went wide. "We have two children together? All within two years?"
"Yep. Hey isn't that called Irish Twins or something? I remember my mother saying it when Cinderella got pregnant for with her second child like a few weeks after she had her first." Emma asked.
Suddenly Regina's eyes rolled in the back of her head as she fainted.
Emma shook her lightly and called her name trying to wake her. "Regina, Regina?" Until after a few minutes Regina finally opened her eyes. "Oh thank god! I thought I was going to have to call the ambulance." Emma sighed as she held Regina close and kissed her head.
"What happened?" Regina asked, still sounding weak.
"I think you passed out when I told you we are going to be having back to back baby's within the next two years." Emma said. "Hopefully after Christian is born we can find some magical contraceptives."
Regina laughed. "Yeah that or I will be cutting your magical balls off." Reinga said jokingly.
"Emma laughed. "You still up for starting our family tonight?" Emma asked. It was almost midnight, as they had entered their time zone as close to when they left as they could.
"I cannot wait to get started on our family, but I think I can wait until tomorrow to start working on it." Regina said with a yawn.
Emma kissed the top of her head and held her close as the brunette started to drift off to sleep in her arms. "I would wait in a million different worlds for you." She whispered. Soon she too was drifting off into a peaceful sleep, knowing that amazing adventures lie ahead for them both.
