A little less seeing and a little more feeling 11
*disclaimer* I don't own once upon a time or its characters.
This chapter will have no errors like I left in the last one. I want you to enjoy reading and please review for me I'm not complaining about what I get but I always hope to see more reviews.
I was a little surprised that when we all sat in the same room again almost nothing felt off about us. It felt like we all did not just drop a bombshell of news on Cora. She was laughing as well as Regina when they entered the room and any awkwardness I felt when they did was defused by Henry. He was such a great kid I didn't think I could find much in common with him. He ate healthy, talked proper and nicely much like Regina, and he was so imaginative I couldn't believe he was my kid at times.
What did tell me he was my kid wasn't the paper that said so it was the way he tried so hard to figure things out. Like investigators or a spy. His code names made me laugh. Especially if he couldn't say them right. When Cora asked me what made me know Henry was mine that's what told her. That seemed to put the woman's worries to rest. I knew exactly what worries she had and I just wanted to relieve her of them.
I was not in for the money, shelter, or a second chance. It was nice to have a second chance but Regina knew I would have backed off if she said too. Now that she has let me in all I want to do is go day by day doing my best to make up for the mistakes I made even though I didn't regret giving Henry up knowing he lived a happy life I regretted the moments Regina had to do alone. This was a second chance but it was for both of us.
When Cora left later and Henry was sleeping for a nap I quietly sat by Regina trying to think of the right things to say. I knew what it was like to not have parents and get new ones when you didn't understand why you had to have new ones. I just wanted to know what it was like for Regina. So I sat making sure I didn't say something I shouldn't.
"Will you tell me your story." She said huh making it sound as if she was already lost in thought. "I just wanna hear more about what happened to you."
"Oh you mean my parents and how I have a mother. Right. Well I had two parents and they died in a plane crash. Private jet with a malfunction. They had business plans out of the country and left me with a nanny again. I remember my mother was the strict one and my father was kinder. Sometimes I imagine Cora is like my mother but at the same time she is so much nicer." I placed my hand on her back for comfort. "When I came to live with Cora she had a husband too but she didn't think he was ready to father me right so she left him. With just her and I she still managed to show me more than I ever knew about love and being happy."
"Wow but you still remember your parents?" I ask with interest.
"Not much these days. I think they were to caught up in business to leave much to remember. I remember the nanny and how the nanny hated me. She must of thought I was a stuck up child but really I just wanted my parents around more." I hummed in agreement.
"I remember the foster system took me in to places and then a few months later they would pull me out. I didn't know why and I would get upset trying to figure out how come I couldn't just stay with one home especially when they all kept hoping I'd call them mom or dad." I said trying to show I understood the times of wishing you had your parents around and not people that didn't care or make the cut. "I always wanted my parents to come get me one day but I guess I ended up just fine without them."
"I won't say Cora was always best but she tried. Like my marriage she realized to late that Leopold didn't love me she had hoped it was true and pushed me to because she thought I wanted money and power back in my life. Give me everything she couldn't." That situation seemed to make more sense now. She sighed With a little relief when henry called out for her from his bed. She apologized and went to him. I nodded and let the conversation settle for now. I felt I had to much to ask in just a little time. So I wanted to wait until we had more time alone. For now we had to keep Henry occupied so I followed her up the stairs to her room.
"Momma Ma, play!" It was the right amount of energy and to break up the tension and for a while it was just Henry, Regina, and I. Regina's aura felt lighter in just moments. The kid was good at that and I was glad he was so I knew she was going to be okay after our conversation. When Henry ran to go to the bathroom it gave us a moment of silence together against and my thoughts just slipped out.
"Let me take you two on a vacation." I had plenty of time between my last days at my school now and starting classes at the new job. "There was only a week left of school and by then I would like to spend the break on a vacation with you..both of you."
"Emma," she was shocked and literally didn't know what to say. I smiled telling myself I'd get her to say yes if I had to. "We have work and Henry-"
"Just a week Henry would love it too." I state making it clear excuses just won't work.
"Okay one week." She says just as Henry come barging in again ready to play again.
reviews please.
i want to go along with the idea for a vacation. This is a short chapter and I took forever posting I'm sorry. I wanted to figure out how to incorporate the news of a vacation in. There is more to come so don't stop reading or following. Also they will be bigger chapters I hope.
