Chapter 5 - Back together Part 2

Regina had made her famous lasagna for her hungry daughter, who had loved it. Regina was very pleased by that.

"I recall you promised me a story." Regina says when Rosalie puts down her knife and fork. She looks up at her mother smiling.

"I did." She looks up at the clock, it was almost eight. "Then I better start talking, so it doesn't get to late."

They took their plates and glasses back to the kitchen and put it in the dishwasher. Regina takes out her apple cider.

"Want some apple cider?"

"Is it alcohol in it?" Rose smirks.

"Not much, if it was I wouldn't be serving you it." Regina laughs.

"Oh really, if you only knew. But yes I would like to have some apple cider."

"God, you haven't changed have you?"

"We'll see." Rosalie says as she takes her glass and walks into the living room with Regina following her.

"So I guess you wanna hear what happened to me after Cora killed dad?" She asks as they sits down in the sofa.

Regina looks away. "Yes, I guess that is a good place to start."

Rosalie takes her mothers hand and force Regina to look at her.

"I'm sorry mom."

"Don't be, it's not your fault." Rosalie move closer to Regina and puts her arms around her. "I love you mommy, always had, always will. No matter what you've done." Regina lets out a sob and feel her tears start to fall from her eyes. She couldn't believe it, her own daughter actually don't blame her for what she has done. She don't deserve it, she knows that, but she can't stop feeling that their could still be some happiness left for her.

"Thank you. And I never stopped to love you. And I did look for you, you know. Never stopped actually." Regina says between her sobs.

"I know." Rosalie puts a sweet kiss on her mothers cheek. And then she starts her story.

"I remember the last time I saw your face. You looked so heartbroken. But I was to scared to run after you. So I stayed in the stable. I was standing looking down at dads lifeless body. I remember saying that this wasn't fair and I promised him to be a good girl, to make him proud of me."

Regina let out another sob. Making her grip around her daughter to be tighter, never wanting to let her go again.

"Who took you away from me? Regina whispers quietly.

"Who has the most power to cast a curse over someone. A curse that would make you lose all your memories and then transport you away?" Rosalie ask knowing her mother already knows the answer.

"Rumplestiltskin." Regina says doggedly. Rosalie nods against her mothers neck.

"He showed up in the stable. Giggling at me and then he used his magic on me and everything went black. And when I woke up I was all alone in some forest."

"I was really scared, being all alone. But then I saw a blue star in the sky, and I made a wish. I didn't knew it was the Blue fairy, but I think I had some kind of feeling inside me that told me to make a wish. Blue could not help me with my wish of course, but she did gave me a home." Rosalie leaned over to the table where her glass of apple cider stood and took a sip. Gathering her thoughts. She didn't look at her mom because she knew she would start crying if she did, and she really needed to tell her everything tonight. She didn't want anything to be left unsaid.

"Growing up in Pixie Hollow, Neverland, was the best decision I've ever made. But I could feel in my heart that something was missing. I needed to find my family." Rosalie snuggled up in her moms arms and continues to tell her the story.

"Even though the Blue Fairy promised me that I would never be alone in this world, I was. Or rather I choosed to be, because I was kind of a loner, not many friends. I was kind of a trouble maker." She says laughing.

"And I always though I was better than everyone else. But I had Blue, who was always there helping me or lecturing me when I needed it. She became like a mother to me. I am so grateful to have had her in my life." Rosalie feels her mom twitch beside her. She puts her hand inside of her mothers, reassuring her that she was hers and nobody else's.

"But on my 16th birthday I left Pixie Hollow and Neverland. I flew back to the Enchanted Forest, back to the place where Blue had found me. But I had no idea where to start. That's when I found out that I had magic, not just my fairy magic, but real powers. Like yours." She said looking up at her mom.

"You have powers? How is that even possible?"

"Back then I had no idea how. But now, now I know." Rosalie smiles at Regina's questioning look.

"True love, mom. I was born from true love. That's why I have magic." Regina smiles but a tear fell from her eye. Rosalie took it away with her hand.

"What powers do you have, Rose?"

"I have power over the elements. I can make fire reappear and water and wind to. I can also move the earth." Regina's eyes went big. "And I can do most of the things you can do." Rosalie said smiling at her.

"And I also can read people's thoughts." She finish.

Regina's eyes went even bigger. She turned herself on the sofa, so she was looking straight at her daughter. "You.. you can read thoughts?"

Rosalie laughs at her mothers horrified look. "I have been reading yours ever since I came inside the door. But I really tried not to but it's not that easy."

Regina stares at Rosalie. "So… what am I thinking right know?" She asks.

Rosalie smiles. "Actually the same thing you've been thinking ever since I told you it was Rumple who took me away. You want to kill him. And I can't blame you, but I'm not gonna let you do it."

"And why is that?" Regina asks looking down at her daughter.

"Because. I'm going to kill him."

"Rose, I wont let you do it either. I don't even know if it is possible without stabbing him with his dagger." Regina says. Rosalie looks at her mother.

"Fine. Neither one of us should kill him then." Rosalie finally says after having an eye battle with Regina.

"Do you want me to tell you about when I met James?" Rosalie asks after a minute.

"James who? You mean Charming?"

Rosalie laughs. "No, not Charming. My James. The real James. King George's real son." Regina looks at Rosalie with a weird face.

"But I thought George couldn't have children, that's why he adopted Charming's twin brother and later Charming himself."

"That's what George wanted everyone to know. But the real reason was because James ran away, he didn't want do be King. So he left his family and the castle to live in Neverland."

"So how old is he exactly? I know you don't grow up if you live in Neverland." Regina asks and looks a little worried.

"James was 7 when King George adopted Charming's twin brother. And he was around 15 when he left the castle. And for 3 years he lived as a hunter in the woods until he decided to go to Neverland. And he stayed there for 15 years."

"So he would be almost as old as I am if he hadn't gone to Neverland?"

"Yes and no. Because you're not really 35 mom." Rosalie smirks. "You just looks like it."

Regina smirks back. "So this James, how did you two meet then?"

Rosalie's POV

I was in the forest, training. When I heard something coming closer. After a minute a horse reappeared between some trees running right at me. It was the most amazing animal I had ever seen. Proud and beautiful. It made a halt in front of me.

"Run away from your rider have you?" I asked and smiles, walking closer. I had never seen a horse before, what I could remember. But the horse behaved like it knew me. When I held up my hand to touch him he bowed his head lower so I could stroke him on his muzzle. He was so soft, so beautiful. All brown, exept between his eyes, where he had a white spot.

"I see you found my horse." Someone said a few steps behind me. I jump and turn around.

"So you are the rider who can't keep track on your own horse?" I say with a smirk.

"Yes. I don't know what got into him, he usually never runs of like that. I guess he scented something and wanted to find out what it was." The horse's owner answer looking at me curiously.

"Maybe it was my irresistible scent." I say and smile in triumph.

"Maybe. I'm James and that's Starlit." James says pointing at the horse. "He's from the Queen's palace. He had run away when I found him in the forest and I brought him back to the Queen. And can you believe it? She actually let me keep him, I was really surprised that the Queen could be so generous."

Starlit, it feels like the name should have a meaning to me, I though.

"No, I don't really know. I've just heard rumours about the Queen in Neverland, where I grew up. But I have never met her. I've just been here for a month or so. I'm Rosalie by the way, but you can call me Rose." I answer with a shy smile.

"Oh, you grew up in Neverland? I've spent a some time there to!" He says exited.

"Really? Well we couldn't have met anyway. I lived in Pixie Hollow as a fairy."

James stares at me for a second, a bit surprised. "A fairy huh? Then you must have been a real beauty huh? Not that you're one no, I just.." He stammers.

I laughs. "Thank you, and I understood what you meant." I smile at him and he smiles back at me. I kept stroking Starlit's neck.

"Ever been on a horse before? What am I saying, course you have. You're a natural with Starlit!"

"Actually no. I have never even seen a horse in real life, just know what people have told me about them."

"Then you're in for a treat.." He smiles and walks to the side of the horse and makes sure the saddle sits in the right place and then he holds out his hand for me to take. "Come on." She says nicely.

I look uncertain at him and then I decid to take his hand. I smile as he helps me up, not that he needs to, I realise that I actually can to it myself.

"Never even seen a horse before and are this talented." James mutters and then jumps up behind me and we take of. And after that day James and I spent all our time together.

"And you fell in love huh?" Regina smiles at Rosalie.

"Yes. We did."

"But, so I have met him? I gave him Starlit? I don't even remember him."

"You did. And now I finally knows why Starlit felt so familiar to me and why he recognized my scent. He was my horse." Rosalie smiles happy.

"Yes, he was. " Regina smiles back. "And you know, he is here, in Storybrooke."

"He is?!" Rose asks with a huge smile.

"Yes. I can show you the stables tomorrow if we have the time."

Rosalie hugs her mother tightly. "Thank you mommy."

"So you was with James when the curse came?"

"Yes. But before that, I had met Rumple, and he had given me a jar with some liquid in, he told e to drink it when I knew the curse was coming. So I drank it and it kept me from the curse at first. I can't explain it but it was like I was frozen for about 12 years until I ended up in Washington as a baby."

"Wait, the curse turned you back as a baby? You didn't arrive as a sixteen year old?" Regina asks shocked.

"Yes, I arrived as a baby. I think it was because that liquid Rumple gave me."

"That man. He so going to feel my wrath later." Regina says with a look that could kill someone right at the spot, if they had looked her in the eyes.

"No mom." Rosalie says taking her mother's hands in hers. "You promised, no one goes after Rumple, no matter what he has done. I can't lose you again."

"I wont try and kill him I'm just gonna go a little evil on him."

"NO! You aren't that person anymore. I know you promised Henry that you would redeem yourself."

"How do you know…?"

"I read his thoughts." Rosalie says guilty.

"You did what?"

"I'm sorry! I told you I can't always control it... Is it to late to talk about DC?"

"Yes baby, no more stories tonight. It's 1 in the morning. We need to get some sleep."

"Okay. Tomorrow then." Rosalie says and yawns.

Regina takes her daughter upstairs. "This is my room." She shows her the first room to the right after they got up the stairs. They walk pass another room, on the door it says Henry. They walk pass it. "And this will be your room, it's a guest room right know, but we're gonna fix that later. So you can decorate it how you want."

"Thank you mommy." Rosalie says and walks inside the big room. In the corner beside one of the two windows stood a queen sized bed.

"Do you have something to sleep in?"

"Yes. In my bag. In the car." She sighs, and falls down on the bed.

"You can borrow something of mine tonight, if you like." Regina offers.

"Thanks." Rosalie yawns.

"Why don't you go and brush your teeth in the bathroom through there." Regina points at a door in the room. "There is a toothbrush and toothpaste inside. I'm just gonna go and get you something to sleep in."

Rosalie nods and stands up from the bed and walks inside the bathroom. Inside there is a shower and a huge bathtub. She walks over to the sink and starts to brush her teeth. When she walks back to the bedroom Regina is waiting outside.

"Here." She gives Rosalie a dark red pajamas.

"Thank you mom." She walks into the bathroom and puts it on. It smells just like her mother. She smiles.

Back in her room she walks to her mother and gives her a hug.

"I love you mom. I'm so happy I found you."

"Me to, baby. I love you so much."

"I love you even more mom." Rosalie nuzzles her nose in her mothers neck.

"But I love you most." Regina says smiling happy. "Good night my baby. See you in the morning"

"Good night mommy." Regina leaves the room and Rosalie walks over to the bed and pulling off the bedspread and crawls down.

She lays in bed wishing they had had more time tonight. She has so much more to tell her mother. But I guess that has to wait until tomorrow. She thinks right before she falls asleep.
