Anyways I hope youse enjoy this chapter it's set up the curse breaking which should be in the next chapter or so :).
She had a sick feeling in her gut that she just couldn't describe and an aching feeling in her heart as if it was being squeezed. Her heart rate quickened as she found it harder to breathe. She watched from the window of granny's diner as her husband captured his lips with Mary Margaret's, was it betrayal she was feeling or was it the sad realisation that her head was right, love just wasn't for her. She couldn't lose him, not now after how far along they had came. No she had to go and get rid of the little brat the only way she knew how and that was with magic.
He was confused and felt lost with the one to many drinks he had consumed. The world around him was nothing but a blur he could barely make out the two figures who stood beside him. Emma he thinks the first one was and Mary Margaret to his left. They were playing spin the bottle one minute and the next the room was chanting out kiss, kiss, kiss. 'What' he thought 'they want me to kiss Mary Margaret'. 'No' he said as he tried to keep himself upright "I can't do, do that" he said as her raised his hand and pointed to the ring that was located on his finger "I'm married and my wife would kill me".
"She's not going to find out" Emma said. "Look we all had our turn and now it's yours plus Regina would understand"
"You think so?"
"Yeah"
She decided to take Jefferson up on his deal and met him at her family mausoleum carrying what looked like a top hat. She walked down the marble stairs and met him in a room that was full of magical items from the enchanted forest. "My hat" Jefferson said "you had it all along".
"Of course I did dear, you never know when a magical hat will come in handy" she said with a slight smile. She handed the hat over to Jefferson and watched as he placed the hat onto the ground. He spun it once and there was nothing so he did it again but there was still nothing. "There's not enough magic here, you need something magical like"
"True love" she said cutting him off.
"Exactly". They stood there in silence for a few minutes until Jefferson came up with an idea "Daniels ring, the one he gave you when he asked to marry you that should have enough magic in it to allow you"
"No" she snapped.
"But Regina".
"I said no and I don't even have it in my possession, David does".
"You gave the prince the last thing you had left of you beloved Daniel".
"Yes I did"
"You must really love him, and it would be a shame to see you lose him to Mary Margaret". She cocked her head to the side with a raised eye brow.
"Oh you don't know, didn't you hear about your faithful husband kissing Mary Margaret". Her posture straightened as she took a deep breath in.
"No" Jefferson said "you didn't hear about it, you saw it and that's why you're here today. If you want to keep him then well you know what to do".
"Keep him" she said softly "it's funny I never forgave Leopold for what he did to me, made me stay and kept me as if I was some sort of trophy. But here I am trying to get David to stay against his own will, thank you" she said.
"For what?"
"Making me realise what I was doing, I'm not going to make the prince stay if he wishes to go to her than so be it, I won't keep them apart".
"Regina are you sure this is what you want to do?"
"Yes".
"Regina one more thing"
"Yes dear" she replied.
"My daughter"
"I'm sorry Jefferson there is nothing I can do"
"But you said"
"Sometimes people lie in order to get what they want, it isn't possible to wake her up the only thing that can do that is by the breaking of the curse, I am sorry dear but there is nothing I can do for you".
Regina arrived home to see David watching tv with there daughter. "David" she said "can we talk".
"Yeh of course honey what about".
"Can we go into the kitchen please"
"Yes of course" he had a feeling about what she wanted to talk about.
"Do you love Mary Margaret?" She asked.
"No of course not we are just friends, you found out, who told you?"
"No one told me I saw it".
"Regina" he said as he held her hands in his "I was completely and utterly drunk the whole night is nothing but a blur".
"Did you feel anything for her?"
"If I did I wouldn't be here right now, I love you" he said.
"I just don't want to keep you here against your own will".
"I stay here because this is my home and my family, I can't imagine my life with out you Henry and our little princess ok". He tilted her head up so she was facing him. "Ok" he repeated, she nodded her head only to be pulled into a hug "I love you" he said. The moment was interrupted by a knocking sound at the door. "I'll get that" Regina said.
Regina answered the door to be greeted by the blonde "Miss Swan" Regina said "what brings you here?".
"I, I wanted to speak with you" she replied. Regina moved out of the door way and gestured to Emma to come in. "This town it's not for me" Emma said "I'm going to move back to my old apartment".
"Does Henry know of this?"
"No not yet, but if I do this I want to make sure I have full access to see him when ever I want to".
"I can't guarantee that Miss Swan but when you are here you may visit him, but he doesn't leave Storybrooke".
"Why?"
"Because it's a big world out there and I know how curious my son is, it's dangerous".
"Our son" Emma corrected her. Regina sighed before saying "yes our son".
"Fine so we agree"
"Yes, it looks like we have both found something to agree on, do have a safe trip back Miss Swan.
