I really wasn't going to write more on this story, but it continued to appear more ideas about it in my brain, so... here you go :)

In the next morning, Regina pulled the sheets out of her body and put her legs out of the bed but when she was about to get up she felt a dizziness and urge to puke take control all over her body. She felt a dizziness and urge to puke take control all over her body. Morning sickness, already? She thought with sadness as she took deep breaths, trying her best to not go to the bathroom. She lay back on the bed, resting her head on her pillow. She brought a hand to her head with her eyes closed, and started to think on what usually calms her down. Telling stories, leading her head to somewhere else helps. She looked down at her belly, closed her eyes again and she started to tell a story, imagining she's telling it to her baby.

"Once upon a time, there was a queen and a thief. The queen was in great dangerous, and the thief, with his arrow, saved her. He wanted to help her to get up, but she was too stubborn to accept his help. She didn't want to depend on anyone. She had just lost her prince and someone was after her. She didn't want to have a weakness. But truth is that she was captivated by his beauty and by his kindness since that moment. They spent one year fighting, and though she didn't admit it, she loved how he didn't fear to argue with her. They were brought to a new world, a world that the queen knew and he did not, and their memories were erased. But even so, they were attracted to each other. She got her prince back, and her walls were down. She couldn't stop noticing how much alike she and the thief were, and this time she let herself to fall for him."

She felt a tear running down her down cheek as she finished to tell their story. She missed him so much. The warmth of his body surrounding her, feeling his breath on her neck. She missed every single part of him. But in that moment, at the same time it was hurting more because she wouldn't be able to share her pregnancy with him, it was hurting a little less because she realized she had a piece of him growing inside herself. A small smile appeared in her lips when she started to think about how the baby would look like. She hoped it would have his big dimples. And his bright blue eyes. She remembered how she used to get lost in his eyes, all her worries fading away everytime their eyes met. He made her feel so safe, protected and loved. It was like he could see through her and she could see through him. She sighed and opened her eyes, looking at her belly. She brought her hands to her belly and stroked it.

"Your aunt Snow is sure that we'll find your father. But I promise you, even if we don't find him, I'll make sure to tell you a lot of things about him. You'll know that if your father could be here with us, he would. You'll know that no matter where he is, he loves you just as much as I do."

She brought her hands to her eyes, pushing all the tears away. She tried to get up once again, and she was relieved to see that her morning sickness were gone, at least for the moment. She went to her bathroom to get ready for the day, and then she went to the kitchen to prepare something for breakfast for her and for Henry, that was still sleeping upstairs. She looked to her coffee machine, making a pouty. She wanted coffee more than anything, she had always been a coffee addicted, but she knew she would have to let it go for the sake of her baby. She grabbed an orange juice from the refrigerator, and put some breads on the toaster like she knew Henry liked. While she waited for the breads to get ready, she went upstairs to wake up Henry.

She kissed his cheek and brushed his hair from his face, calling his name. He started to wake up and smiled to his mother. She kissed his forehead and told him to get up and go to the bathroom and then meet her downstairs. He nodded and went to the bathroom, and she went back to the kitchen. She turned off the toaster but she let the breads there because she didn't want the breads to cool down. She decided to wait for Henry to eat and took her cellphone out of her pocket. Her lockscreen was still a picture of her and Robin, Roland and Henry. It was took in her house, in the day she defeated Zelena. Henry was with the cellphone in his hand, Roland right beside him with a big smile, and Regina and Robin were behind them, their shoulders and their heads touching each other. She remembered how happy she was feeling. She was the one who saved the day. She unlocked her cellphone, deciding to change the picture, but every picture she sees she just put a zoom in Robin's face, trying to notice every detail. The way his cheek turns when he smile, the way his smile always reaches his eyes, the way his beard shape his face. She looked in his eyes and she felt tears forming in her eyes. She missed how he was able to see when she needed comfort without her having to say something, she missed the feel of his strong arms around her. She missed everything about him. More than she would be able to explain.

"Do you want to hear your father's voice?" she asked as she looked down to her belly.

She called to his number, and as expect, it went to the voice mail.

"Hi, you called to Robin Hood." she felt her heart beats increase at the sound of his soft voice. "In the moment I can't answer you, but I'll call you back as soon as possible."

She felt the tears fall freely down her face, and she didn't bother to wipe them because she was too caught up in the moment. All she wanted was to hear his voice again, in front of her. She jumped and she heard Henry entering the kitchen.

"Mom, are you ok?" he asked with concern, seeing the tears on her face.

"I'm... I'm fine." she took a deep breath, pushed the tears away and put a smile on her face.

"This is about him, isn't it?" he asked as he put a chair right beside her and sat down. "Mom..." he said taking her hands on his. "I'm going to find that author, and first I'll punch him or she in the face for not realizing how utterly beautiful and good you're, and then I'll punch him or she again and make that person write a happy ending for you."

"Henry" she whispered.

She bent over to hug him, tightening her arms around him and she felt fresh tears starting to fall. "Damn, hormones! They're making me so emotional." she said with a smile without thinking.

"Hormones? Does that mean...?" Henry asked looking into her eyes with wide eyes.

Henry was old enough to know what that was supposed to mean. She didn't see why she should hide this from him.

"Yes, I'm pregnant." she said looking at him with a smile, curious to know his reaction.

"I'm going to be a big brother!" he yells and a huge smile appeared on his face.

He leaned in to hug his mother again, and when they parted, he said with a teasing smile. "Now you blame the hormones, but I know you would be crying anyway with what I said."

She laughed for the first time in weeks.

"Oh Henry, what would I do without you?"

She kissed his forehead again, and then they started eating while talking about ordinary topics. When they finished, they looked at the time and they still had five minutes till the school bus get there to take Henry to school. He helped his mother with the dishes, and then they heard the bus honking. He put the backpack on his shoulder and they went outside with her arms wrapped around his. She hugged and kissed his cheek, and she saw him entering the bus. When he was gone, she went inside her house to grab her cellphone and her keys and closed the house, going to her vault in her car. When she entered in the secret room, another memories floated from her head.

"Your life would be easier if I wasn't in it." she said with a sad smile, burying her head in his bare chest.

"That may be true, but it wouldn't be my life without you in it." he replied stroking her arms with the tips of his finger. "Besides, I was never one to want a easy and bored life."

A genuine smile appeared on her face this time, and she looked up to him. He placed a hair behind her ear, wanting to see all her face. She was truly one of the most gorgeous women he ever saw. More than that, she had the most pure heart he ever known. She leaned in, putting a hand in his face and kissing him while she entwined her toes of her feet with his under the sheets. She heard her cellphone ringing again, and she sighed, placing a last peck on his lips before getting up to grab her cellphone. Ten lost calls from Snow, five from Charming and a lot of voice mails. She rolled her eyes and listened just the last voice mail Snow left.

"Regina, where are you? We have been calling you all night! Something happened to Emma, and we were trying to find her but now we can't find Henry, I think he went to her. Please come to my house as soon as you can!"

And Regina soon started to get nervous and to feel guilty. She saw their others calls earlier, but she thought it was nothing serious. Truth be told, the Charmings loved to make drama for nothing. They always made big deals of something small. And she thought this time there was nothing different. But now Henry was involved. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her down, and started to put her clothes back on as she told Robin she had to go. He started to put his clothes back on too, and soon they were leaving the place. They stopped outside her vault and she gave him a small peck on his mouth.

"Hey, I'm not done kissing you." he said grabbing her hand, making she turn in his direction and he closed his mouth with hers again. He put his hands on her face, caressing it, and touched his forehead with hers. "He will be ok, you'll see. He's a smart big boy."

But this time, not even his soothing words were being able to fully calm her. She was only going to be completely calm when Henry was in front of her. She gave him a small smile and went to the Charming's house.

Regina smiled at the memory and went outside the vault, closing it. She went to her car, wanting to go to the supermarket. As she was getting close to her car, she saw a small blue smoke in the air. She looked around, and no one but her seemed to notice this smoke. She frowned and she followed the blue smoke in her car, wanting to see where it would led. It led to a cavern next to the town line. She looked around but no one seemed to be there. She saw three crows, and her imagination instantly ran into her old friend, Maleficent. She always had a particular affection for crows. But that wouldn't be possible... would it? Her friend was long gone.

Before she could think any deeper, one of the crows was transformed into Maleficent. Regina's eyes widened and Maleficent just laughed, mocking her.

"You thought you had seen the last of me?" she asked, walking around Regina. "You're probably asking how I'm here, since I was turned into a ghost, and you made that dirty pirate kill that ghost. Well, you should know better than anyone that I always find a way."

Regina started to sweat cold, getting really nervous of what Maleficent may want with her.

"I thought I was your friend, Regina. And look how good our relationship was to me." she said with an angry tone, walking closer to Regina.

"I had to do what I did" Regina started to defend herself, trying to calm the other woman. "You wouldn't give me the Dark Curse and I needed it."

"But turning me into a dragon? Really?" she asked, making a movement with her stick.

Regina felt fear running through her body, and she thought about her child when she made a protection spell appear around her. She felt an unusual unease in her body while she fought to keep the protection spell up. She heard Maleficent laugh.

"If I wanted to make you any harm I would have done it by now" she said with an evil grin. "No, today I don't want to harm you, I just wanted you to know that I'm back."

Wait. So it wasn't Maleficent who was making me feel uneasy? She thought. She put the protection spell down and discretely leaned against the wall. She felt her unease go away. It felt like the unease came from her body, like her body didn't want her to use magic. She decided to deal with it later, and focused on the woman next to her.

"So if that's it, I think I'll go now." she walked out of the cavern and went towards her car.

"See you around, friend." Maleficent said.

She went straight to the Charming's house, and she was pleased when she found everyone there.

"Regina, what happened?" Snow asked when she saw the alarmed expression in Regina's face.

"I saw an old friend today." Regina said with a heavy breath, sitting on the couch.

"What? Who?" Snow, Charming and Emma asked together.

"Maleficent."

"Wait. The one you turned into a dragon and I killed her?" Emma asked.

"Exactly. It turns out she's alive. And she wanted me to know that. But that's not even the worst part." Regina said looking at her belly.

"What it is? She made something to you?" Snow asked worried, following Regina's eyes.

"I made a protecting spell around myself, and I felt an unease when I did it. First I thought Maleficent was doing something to me, but that was not it. I couldn't realize what it was. But while I was making my way here, I think I understood what it is. My child has magic. And its already starting to backfire with mine."

Sorry for ending it there. And no, I don't know if I'll write more. I'm sooorry. It will depend if I'll have more ideas, but so far, I used all the ideas I had. Well, that is it. I hope you liked and please, leave a review! ❤️
