Chapter 7: the heart of the truest believer .
As soon as the cage was ready the two-royal couples with Mulan and Red joining them. They took the Blue to her new home; the former fairy was looking rather rough from her time spent down in the Dark castle dungeons. her hair was all askew and her clothes were ripped and tattered to shreds. She was sleep deprived and half starved. It was her way of defying Regina and Emma. She was still under the impression that she oversaw all the fairies and was offended to hear that Purple of all the fairies in the realm was elected the new leader.
That they would let a fairy who had tainted the precious pure bloodlines of the fairies by breeding with humans. She was even more offended when in the entire two months she had been locked up down in the squalor and dankness of the dungeons. Her sister Fiona hadn't even bothered to come and visit her. The only visitor she received was that of the guards bringing her food, water and the chance to have a bath. Blue though refused the indignity of not getting any privacy while she bathed. And she only ate the food when she became too weak to resist it.
Blue looked up into Emma's face she saw that she looked a little nauseous and at the same time she was glowing like Snow did when she was first pregnant with Emma. 'No Emma is pregnant I can see it in her face, so the evil queen knocked up the saviour, boy is Fiona going to regret not coming to visit me in my dungeon cell. Looks like the heart of the truest believer will be born soon. Well if that is true at least I won't be locked up in this dark cave by myself forever. Soon I will have my sister in a cell beside me no doubt.' Thought Blue, as she was being shoved into the cage.
"Hey there Saviour, you are looking a little green today did you eat something that didn't agree with you?" taunted Blue a smug and knowing smile that was reminiscent of the former dark one Rumple. Regina gave the ex-fairy her best menacing stare which seemed to wipe the smugness off her face.
"Don't know what you are talking about Rhuel Ghrom, you might want to stick to thinking about why you are locked up in this cage in the first place. If you show some signs of true remorse and are genuine in a need to redeem yourself, we will be happy to give you that chance. But you must be sincere about it. if not, you will find yourself locked up in this lonely magically reinforced jail cell to be your forever home." With that been said the group left the cave the cage was set up in to head back to their respective castles.
Now that Emma has fulfilled her part in the prophesy or at least as far as Snow and Charming are concerned they are finally going to try for a second child, one they can bring up without the expectations of becoming a saviour and hopefully without the burden that having magic brings. So that is where the Light Kingdom's rulers were headed off to do. While Regina, Emma, Mulan and Red were headed back to the Dark Kingdom. Red had a date to elope with Dorothy and they had agreed to meet at the dark castle before they took off as they wanted to ask the former wicked witch to officiate their upcoming nuptials.
While Regina and Emma headed into a carriage to take them to the magical midwife's cottage. As Emma had been showing early signs of a magical pregnancy and they wanted to be certain that was the case. Mulan was going with them as added protection since they had a visit from the black fairy early in the week to threaten them about having captured her sister and to try and split them apart not realising that was something that will be extremely hard to do. Because ever since their wedding night they have become stronger and closer then ever before.
They spent many a night making love to each other after long days dealing with making sure that both the light and dark kingdoms ran smoothly. It took some wrangling as some of the noble families of the light kingdom weren't to happy with the change of arrangements, but Regina and Emma were able to quell any concerns they may have had. Two weeks after their wedding Emma started burping magical bubbles and any time she tried to create a fireball all she could create was nothing but heart shaped confetti. When Cora saw this, she busted out into a fit of laughter as did Zelena who found all the magical mishaps the funniest thing she had ever seen, and that included the annoying munchkins in Oz.
Regina wanted to laugh as well but one rather intimidating look from Emma and a threat of making Regina sleep on the chaise lounge in their bedroom had her stifling her laughter. Instead she waited until Emma had gone to do her duties as the Queen of the light kingdom to have a laugh about it all with her mother and sister. Needless to say, it leant for some rather interesting times at the dark castle.
When they eventually arrive at the midwife's cottage a woman with long wavy brown hair and a warm smile greeted them at the door. "Come inside quickly we don't want either of you to catch a cold. It wouldn't do well with the special child growing within your wife now would we your majesties?" welcomed the friendly woman. She gestured for the two queens to follow her into the back room of the cottage where she had her midwife practice set up.
"Okay Emma come lay up on this bed for me please and relax so I can examine you. Regina why don't you take a seat next to your wife as I am sure you would like to be close for this." Continued the healer/midwife.
Emma did as she was asked not in the slightest bothered by the midwife's lack of formal etiquette around the two queens. Regina however was feeling slightly miffed but chose not to do anything about it in her eagerness to find out what the midwife was going to say about the possibility of them having a child. As it was something she has wanted for a long, long time. But never thought she could have when her mother was her heartless and controlling self. For she had feared her mother would try and control her through her child or find some way to use any child of hers to seize power for herself. Now that she had found true love with Emma and the self-inflicted curse was lifted she was excited to start a family.
"Emma has been burping magical bubbles and her magic has gone all haywire it is why we took the royal carriage here rather than teleporting we didn't want to risk Emma's magic going all wonky again mid teleport as that would've been high disastrous. Also, when she has been throwing up of a morning magical sparks fly everywhere causing all sorts of crazy things to occur. Is that normal for pregnant witches?" queried Regina, while Emma looked at the midwife in earnest interest in finding out what the midwife had to say.
"With two powerful women like yourselves and Emma being not only the saviour but a product of true love who also share true love…All I can say is that you could be expecting more of that sort of thing. Let's take a look, shall we?" replied the midwife who has a crinkly smile brightening her face and was also trying hard not to laugh at what she was told about the magical mishaps.
The midwife places her hands over Emma's abdomen and allowed her hands to emit a deep yellowish gold colour. To Emma it felt like a warm tingling sensation, but it also felt entirely unwelcome. Unlike Regina's magic which felt like she was coming home, Regina's magic gave a sense of love and safety. The midwife's gave the feeling of uncertainty. After a few minutes the midwife removed her hands. "You are indeed expecting a magical baby. A very strong one that's for sure the child within tried to block my magic at first but when it sensed I was not going to hurt Emma it let me get a read of it.
This child will have the magic of both his mother's since you both wield both light and dark magic your son has inherited both types of magic from both of you. His heart though is different from all the magical babies I have ever examined. It doesn't have a fully red glow it has a gold barrier around it, making it stronger; a believer's heart. This child will always see and believe in the best in those he loves." Explained the midwife. As Emma sat up properly and made a move to get up of the bed. Regina helped her off the bed, so she could stand.
"Thank you, Vicki, we appreciate you seeing us. We would like to invite you to stay at our castle, so you can continue to monitor the pregnancy and we offer to pay you double your normal fees." Said the grateful Emma, knowing that Regina would back up her offer.
"It would be an honour your majesty Queen Emma, I shall get my affairs in order here then travel to your castle shortly after and I will arrive by the end of the week. Due try not to cause your magic to throw heart shaped confetti everywhere." teased Vicki as she watched the two queens leave her cottage Regina had already left the small satchel with her fee in it on the bedside table.
Regina and Emma got into the carriage then Mulan who had been waiting patiently flicked the reins and drove them off back home to the dark castle. When they get home, they go back to their usual routine of running the kingdoms and finding time to be alone together. At four months into the pregnancy the magical mishaps got weirder and weirder, Emma began to conjure random soft animal toys when she least expected. Which Emma didn't mind too much when they were turning one of the guest rooms into a nursery. But less amused when it happened in the middle of holding court. The entire household found themselves walking on eggshells most days as Emma's mood swings kicked in, and it wasn't just Emma whose moods got out of hand. Regina was feeling rather edgy and was quick to snap at anyone who got on her bad side.
At the six months mark they were paid another visit by the black fairy who taunted them with how exactly she was going to destroy their happiness, which didn't sit well with Regina who had gone into protective mama bear mode. Sending Fiona of with singed wings and a very dour mood. Cora meanwhile had started to dote on Emma as did Snow whenever she visited the dark castle, Snow was also sporting a pregnant belly. She looked to be about four months pregnant, so it was obvious to Emma that her parents made short work of trying for their normal child they wouldn't have to raise to become a saviour or a ruler like they did with her.
This made Emma feel left out as her new sibling will get to grow up without any of the added responsibilities Emma had to endure. Regina though would reassure Emma that no matter what she was loved and wanted by her, Cora and Zelena who had taken up the mantle of making sure that Emma got everything she needed to remain stress free. Zelena often stepping in on war council meetings in Emma's place whenever Emma wasn't feeling up to due to the ever-changing needs and demands the pregnancy took out on her body.
Zelena was also seen having what Cora called 'moon eyes' for the Huntsman who had taken a shining to the red head. He quite enjoyed her fiery personality and wicked sense of humour. The huntsman had long since gotten his heart back several year's ago, but it had taken him seeing Zelena step up to take care of her family to get him to see just how great she was. For the longest time he had harboured a crush on Emma, but he had never done anything about his unrequited feelings because he knew no matter how much he might have loved Emma he knew she was wholeheartedly in love with Regina.
Both the light and Dark kingdoms were the most prosperous and strongest kingdoms in all the Enchanted Forest and was becoming the envy of some of the smaller kingdoms like Camelot. King Arthur there had been seen sending spies to monitor the boarders as he had heard that Regina still had ownership over the dark one's dagger, but he couldn't confirm the rumours spread by those who worked for Fiona who was trying to find someone who could help her take on Regina and Emma before the new prince was to be born.
At the eight-month mark King Arthur had declared on the united kingdoms of light and dark but he was vast army was easily thwarted by the combined armies of the two biggest kingdoms in the Realm. At the end of that month-long war he threatened to get stronger and try again. Now at nine months a heavily pregnant Emma was tossing and turning in the bed she shared with Regina, accidently elbowing Regina in the ribs effectively waking her up.
Regina gently shook Emma awake earning her a very amorous kiss from Emma. During her third trimester Emma's libido had skyrocketed and this morning looked to be no different. Regina helped Emma move in to a more comfortable position before she began to kiss Emma again and down the smooth contours of Emma's body, making sure to pay reverence to the baby bump, then she made her way slowly down to Emma's already wet and dripping pussy. She took the ready and needy bundle of nerves into her mouth as she teased it with nips, licks and then sucked it hard causing Emma to scream out Regina's name as an intense orgasm hit her heated body. Regina then gently at first slipped index and middle finger into Emma's warm core then began thrusting them in and out hard and fast making sure to hit Emma's g-spot on every thrust. Emma began to buck and pant and scream her name as Emma was hit with her second orgasm in as close to five minutes apart Regina then began sucking Emma's clit once more while still thrusting her fingers in and out bring Emma to her third intense orgasm. Once Emma had come down from the overly intense orgasm Regina gently removed her fingers and sucked on them to clean them of her wife's juices.
She then kissed her way back up Emma's body until she met Emma's mouth kissing her passionately letting Emma taste herself on Regina's lips. "Mmm, Regina you certainly know how to wake me up of a morning." Said Emma with her cheeky yet sexy grin on her face.
"Only the best for my wonderful wife. Especially since she is carrying my child." Retorted a blissfully happy Regina. Emma then rolled over to her other side so that they could spoon like they usually did after one of their love making sessions once Regina followed her becoming the big spoon Emma gasped in pain as she felt the beginnings of many sharp pains in her lower back and abdomen.
"What's wrong Emma are you in pain? Is it the baby?" asked a now panicking she began to rub circles around lightly on Emma's baby bump hoping to sooth whatever was hurting Emma.
"I think I am going into labour Regina. it feels like I am about to expel a large cannon ball out of my pussy." Moaned Emma as she felt another wave of the many sharp pains hit her. Regina flicked her wrist bringing their midwife Vicki into their bedchambers in a puff of purple smoke. The pyjama clad midwife quickly got her bearings once she took stock of what she was both seeing and feeling going on in this room. She had been waiting for this call all the night beforehand and now she understood why.
The prophesised prince with the heart of the truest believer was about to be born. So, Vicki used her own magic to prepare herself and the room ready to welcome the new prince into the world. A few hours went by and they had gotten Emma into the ready position to get down to the pushing part of the birthing process. Then after a few long hard pushes the first-born child of Regina and Emma was born. Vicki cut the cord then cleaned him up ready to be placed into Emma's arms.
"Here you go your majesties here is your happy and healthy son, what are going to name him may I ask?" asked Vicki as she gently placed the newborn into Emma's waiting arms.
"His name is Prince Henry Daniel Swan." Declared a proud Regina as she held both Emma and Henry in her loving embrace.
