CHARMING AND SNOW
Snow was in the verge of collapse. She was strong, she had a concise spirit, but she had been fighting for the most part of her life to get her family together. Not to mention abruptly realizing that she had been frozen in time and unaware of who she really was for the past 28 years. Courtesy of the Evil Queen. And now she had to put up with this crap. Part of her knew that Regina wasn't exactly the same person that had cursed them all, trying to destroy the happy endings of the entire Enchanted Forest. But the thing is: she doesn't know now who was this new person she had turned to, and it was frightening. She was afraid for her family. Mostly for Emma. Her daughter, her darling and beautiful princess was different. She could tell. A mother just knows when something is happening with their kids. Something had happened when she tried to help Regina with her magic to save everyone.
Truth to be told she also had to admit that Emma always had been compliant with the Evil Queen's mistakes. Not that she noted she was doing it, not that she didn't fight the brunette or anything. It was just something that she couldn't help herself from doing. The only situation she saw her daughter stand for leaving Regina behind was just recently, not even 24 hours ago, when she was desperate to save her son from having the same lonely life she had. Plus, the Mayor said that she wanted to be left. She wanted to redeem herself. She wanted it to be her ultimate proof that, in the end, she was able to do the right thing. For Henry. However, this was a first. And yet, the reason was completely understandable taking Emma's life into consideration. Never before, nor even against the irrefutable truth that the Mayor was up to something evil, her daughter stood merciless towards her. Maybe that's the savior thing, she thought to herself.
Her husband was oddly silent. She had been so lost in her own considerations and worries, that she almost forgot that he was beside her. She felt a little guilty about it, but now, watching him, she knew he was also deeply lost in his mind.
- Hey my love, what is that keeping you so quiet? – Snow asked with such a tenderness in her voice that he stared at her and smiled genuinely"
- Oh sweetheart, I was just trying to fit all these pieces together. Henry`s kidnapping, Regina's supposed redemption… I must say, she really surprised me in the end. Do you think we can trust her? That she really changed? Emma seems to trust her. – He added looking closely to his wife.
- I…I don't know. We've come a long road with this woman, Charming. I want to believe her too, but I don't want to become all trusty, we must be always aware. We must be prepared for everything. It worries me that our daughter gets blindfolded and misses to see if Regina is up to something. We must protect Emma! We must keep our daughter safe, now that we found her after so many years! – Snow had her eyes full of tears, she was afraid of losing Emma… She sighed deeply, showing her loving husband all that gone inside her mind.
- Everything is going to be alright. We will stay alert towards Regina, Snow. We will know if she is not being trustful. Let's just concentrate for now on our task! We need to find anything that could lead us to Henry! Let's go! – With this said they concentrate on their path and vanished in the woods in their search.
EMMA AND REGINA
"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry.
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, chasing in tails
Heads on a silence apart…"
They were walking in silence through the dense forest that bordered the shore… Yet the two women were completely aware of each other's presence. Emma was trying to figure out a way to get back to Regina`s dream topic, but she didn't want to startle the brunette. The pair had walked around half an hour when Regina stopped, breathing heavily and leaning back to a big old tree. The blond was taunted by this sight and approaching the older woman and holding her, she asks:
-What is happening Regina? Are you feeling sick or something? – A lovely worried gaze observing closely the Mayor.
- I… I don't know Emma; I've never felt it before… I can't… I can't breathe! – The brunette's limbs started loosing, in a complete loss of strength and the next thing the blond realizes is the older woman laying on her lap, completely breathless.
- Regina! Regina! Answer me, damn it! - The Sheriff was terrified! What the hell had just happened?! She layed Regina`s body to the soil, pressing her chest in despair… She leaned down to check Regina`s heartbeat and found out there was none. Without even thinking twice, she pressed her lips on the older woman`s , blowing air into her lungs, alternating the gesture with cardiac massage. It's been a few minutes without response, and the sheriff felt tears coming down her eyes…
- Regina, please, don't! Henry needs you!I…I need you… God, what is happening?!Why?!- She couldn't understand… Her heart was racing ferociously; her face was washed by tears, in total shock and pain… She had to do something! She needed! She had a hand placed over the older woman belly, completely devastated and she could have sworn that she felt a slightest move inside it. She found it extremely odd, but she wasn't giving up on Regina, so she pressed hear heart again and again and once more breathed air inside her lungs and then she noticed with pure amazement that she was blowing a silvered blue mist within the air, but she didn't stop herself. Her entire body was tingling and… Finally a gasp! The brunette opened her eyes in time to catch a sparkling green gaze inches of her face.
- What…What happened, Emma? – Her voice was weak once she finally spoke; she was still catching her breath again. She saw the blond's tears and her sighing in noteworthy relief, and tried to make some sense of what just happened to her… The sheriff's hand was on her face, gently caressing her cheek.
- I thought…You…Weren't breathing… I thought you were gone, Regina… - The Mayor could feel the anguish behind those words. Emma once more fought for her, she was crying for her, she was caressing her…This was strange… Not being saved again, but the feeling of it…It felt different this time, she could tell. She could see how much it had affected the younger woman.
Emma helped Regina to rise and sit in a fallen tree bole nearby. All had happened so fast…. The blond sat too, giving some time for them to calm down for a bit, before speaking:
- You scared the hell out of me, Regina… can you tell me what were you feeling when you said you couldn`t breathe? - She asked softly.
- I don't know if I can put into words, but I`ll try. - It was a whole different atmosphere surrounding them. It felt like all the past anger and vengeance feelings never had existed, yet they knew it had. But it was completely over past. It just wasn't significant anymore.
- I remember feeling something inside of me… - Unconsciously, she led her hand to her own belly – I felt overwhelmed as the sensation began to spread all over my body, it was good though. Next thing I know is that I was feeling light headed and suddenly everything went black. – She still doesn't understand what had happening to her. – And then…then I recall feeling this incredible feeling of warmth and I was walking hand in hand with a little girl – She stopped herself.
