G.

"Mom?" I hear Henry's voice say.

My eyes fluttered open, I looked at the ceiling above me and realized I was no longer on the couch. I turned over in the bed to see Henry standing in my doorway, "What is it, dear?" I ask sleepily, extending an arm for him to come lay next to me.

He walks in the room further and climbs in the bed beside me, snuggling up into my arm. "Dad told me to let you know that he and Roland went to the grocery store. We were out of bacon." He pauses and looks up at me with a silly smirk, "And he knows how much you like your morning bacon." He teases.

I playfully push at his chest with my hand, "You're silly." I tease. Just then I heard the door open, along with Roland's small voice. "They must be home."

"Yep." Henry says.

I slowly slide my legs over the edge of the bed, caressing my stomach. I had eighteen more weeks today, but I already felt huge. Maybe I should stop with the bacon?

No.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, as always in the morning. I waited for Henry and we walked downstairs.

Robin turns to me from the counter as he was taking things out of paper bags, "Good morning, love." He says, smiling.

I walk over to him with my robe flowing behind me. I reach up and give him a kiss, "Good morning."

"We went to get some breakfast. We were somehow completely out of bacon!" Robin says.

I look over at Henry and give him a sarcastic smile, he smiles back. I go to the refrigerator and grab the milk, then pour a few glasses of it.

"Mom, I don't really want milk, it doesn't-"

"Henry, quit trying to get out of drinking milk. You're thirteen years old, don't you think you should learn by now?" I say playfully.

He sighs in defeat and takes the glass, along with a few others to the table.

After Robin so kindly fixed us breakfast, we all ate and got dressed. We gathered back in the living room, as it was a Saturday and no one had anything better to do than sit around.

"I don't feel good, mommy." Roland says, holding his stomach tightly.

I look over at him and stick my lower lip out, "What's wrong, dear?"

"My belly hurts." He replies sadly.

I extend my arms to him and let him come sit by me on the couch. He cuddles up on my lap, pushing against my stomach. I stroke his hair softly, then check to see if he has a fever. "You don't feel hot…that's good." I say concerned.

Suddenly, Henry grabs his stomach out of an act of pain. "Ah!" He yelps.

"Henry? What's wrong?" I ask nervously, strain in my tone.

"My stomach!" He manages to say.

"Robin…go feel him. See if he's hot!"

Robin does as he's told and walks towards Henry, feeling his forehead. "He's burning up!" He announces.

I feel Roland's forehead again, realizing his body temperature seemed to have dramatically changed. "What's going on? He's hot too!"

I look back at Robin, "Something's wrong with them, Regina. We need to get them to a doct-" He's interrupted by a wave of pain. He buckles in half, grabbing his stomach.

"Robin?!" I yell out, clearly nervous and confused. I had no idea what was going on, why were they suddenly all sick? Was I going to get sick as well?

My question was suddenly answered as a nauseating feeling rushed over me. I looked down at Roland and realized he was out in my arms. I look at Henry, he's draped over the chair, limp and out as well. I see Robin slowly fading out of it, he falls to the ground.

"Robin!" I yell out, you could hear the terror in my voice. "Robin! Wake up!" I yell.

I began to feel sleepy suddenly. My body was relaxing, and soon I was out as well.

FLASHBACK .

"Ursula, let's settle this some other way!" Rumple yells, trying to calm the sea witch down.

She only tightened the dagger up against Belle's throat, "You're not getting out of this, Rumplestiltskin. Hand over your dagger, and I'll let your little…woman go." She says derogatively.

"No! Please." Rumple begs, seeing the scared look on Belle's face.

"Rumple, no. You need to live…you need to help Regina…go find her! Don't hand the dagger over, Rumple…don't!" She begs him.

Ursula tightens her own dagger up against the bookworm's throat, "Hush, you. The Dark One will do as he pleases." She says in her ear, slowly smiling back up at Rumple. Her expression was deranged and bewildered, bloodthirsty and ready for revenge on Regina after she put her in jail.

Rumple thrusts his dagger into the air, trying to make Ursula fly backwards.

"Uh uh, imp. That magic doesn't work on me, remember? I'm of the sea…" She says, now showing all of her teeth as though she was smiling. Though it was a cross between a sneer.

Rumple shakes his head nervously, looking at Belle in her saddened state. He finally throws the dagger at the ground, letting it land next to Ursula's tentacle. "Ahh, good boy." She says, letting Belle go.

Belle immediately plunges herself toward the dagger to take it out of the ground, but Ursula catches her and throws her back. Rumple starts to run after her, only to be stopped by an invisible leash attaching him to that dagger. Ursula lets out a maniacal laugh and Rumple turns around.

"Now…we're going to get my revenge on Regina."

FLASHBACK .

Ursula makes Rumple walk to his shop, bringing him to the cabinet where he kept all of his potions. She told him which curse she was ready to enact, resulting in Rumple grabbing all of the right liquids and magical properties for this horrid curse.

They stand behind the grocery, waiting for Robin and Roland to come back outside. As Ursula sees them walking merrily through the parking lot, she gives Rumple the cue. He snaps his fingers and the bag in Robin's hand momentarily glows. Rumple successfully placed the potion into the gallon of milk that set in the bag, regretting that he had to do this.

"Why are you doing this to her, Ursula? Because she wouldn't give her family up for you?" Rumple asks, clenching his teeth together.

"Something you must've taught her!" She snaps at him. She swallows hard and takes a deep breath, "No. The little brat…yes, actually. She wouldn't give her children up for my happiness! She owes it to me!" She yells.

"Why on any realm does that woman owe anything to you?" Rumple snaps.

"Because," Ursula sneers, "I can't take it out on my…Baby Sister…"

"Baby sister?" Rumple asks, raising a brow.

"Cora, you fool." Ursula strokes her legs, changing it into one tentacle momentarily, "Don't you see the family resemblance?" She teases.

My eyes slowly unglue from each other. A long, quiet moan escapes my lips as I try to move, but a stiff feeling rushes over me. I sit up and move my head to each side, slowly gaining my senses. Where was I?

I look around for Robin, Roland, and Henry. I didn't see them. I look behind me at where I was and see the long, dirt trail road stretching out behind me. It looks vaguely familiar, though, as if I had been here before.

I slowly get up from the ground and go to brush myself off, only to realize I was in different clothing. "What…" I mumble, dazed and confused.

I was wearing a deep red dress that went down to the ground. My cleavage was showing immensely, being trimmed with bright, shiny diamonds in the dress. I quickly snap my head to the left when I hear something, but nothing was there. I was smacked in the face by my long hair.

A wave of worry gushed over me when I came to the realization of where I was – the Enchanted Forest.

I turn around and almost yell out for the boys, but decide I probably shouldn't. Why was I even here? More importantly, who brought me here?

I turned the palm of my hand up in the air and closed my eyes. I concentrated hard on Henry, trying to pull up where he was. I open my eyes when I hear leaves rustle in the vision on my hand. I smile when I see him walking through the forest. The smile quickly turns into a frown when I see him alone. I then try to imagine Robin and Roland, but neither of them were coming up. I snapped my fingers and Henry was standing in front of me.

"Oh Henry!" I say, extending my arms for a hug.

He runs to me and holds me tightly. I lay my head on top of his, "What happened, Mom? Where are we?"

I pause for a moment before I straighten myself up and look down at him. I stroke his hair gently and stare into his confused eyes, "Henry, we're in the Enchanted Fore-"

"The Enchanted Forest?! Why?!" He interrupts.

"I-I don't know, Henry. I'm just as lost as you in this situation." I say frantically. I hear a loud pop of thunder and look up into the sky; it has turned a dark purple since I woke. "Henry…we need to take cover. Now." I say, grabbing him by the shoulders and walking us to any kind of shelter I could possibly find.

It began to rain, then it was down pouring. Every time the rain hit it felt like a shock of electricity. I wasn't sure who was doing this, but it most certainly was not any regular rainstorm in this realm.

We were now running as fast as I could, pushing Henry in front of me so he stayed in my sight. "Over there!" I yell, pointing to the right and in front of him at a cave. We rush over there and take shelter under the damp, dark cave. I produced a ball of fire into my hand, letting it light up the cave. I look around me as Henry takes his sopping wet cloak off. "I'm sure this is the way you always imagined being here, isn't it?" I ask sarcastically.

He lays his coat on the ground in a pile. I see this and go pick it up, laying it out flat. "Thanks mom." He mumbles.

I raise a brow at him and kiss him on his forehead, "Welcome." I say, smirking. I go further into the cave, my hand stretched in front of me so I could see. "Do you have any idea where the other two are, Henry?"

He shakes his head, rubbing his cold arms, "No…I was alone when I woke up."

I bit at my lips, "I was too. I just hope that doesn't mean Roland is alone as well."

"Mommy? Daddy?" Roland calls out sheepishly, stumbling up from the hard ground. "Daddy?!" He yells, sounding more nervous. He walks toward the nearest tree and looks up the trunk of it. He remembers when Robin taught him how to climb a tree to look up in the sky for the Merry Men, in case he ever got separated from them.

He did as Robin had once told him, climbing up the large pine tree. He struggled to make it halfway, but to his advantage there was a small limb outstretching just a few more steps up. He climbed up and wrapped his tiny hand around the limb, pulling himself up higher. He finally got to the height to where he could reach out and sit on the limb, just to take a break. He was nowhere near high enough to see out over the forest. He leans back against the trunk of the tree, holding his hands steady on the limb beneath him. He made the mistake of looking down and immediately became worried, but he looked back out across the forest and tried to forget. He sighs as he felt like crying, "Where are you, mommy and daddy?" He whispers.

"Can't you just find him like you did me, mom?" Henry asks.

I sit down on the large rock placed in the cave. "No, it wasn't working on him. Or your father, for that matter. I don't know why."

"Have you tried again? Maybe you were just nervous or something?"

I glared at him, wondering when he became such a magic know-it-all. I huffed and tried again, placing my palm upwards just as before. I concentrated hard on Roland, but nothing was coming up.

"Think hard, mom." He says, walking over toward me.

"I am, Henry." I snap, getting somewhat irritated with him acting older than his age.

He leans his hand over on my leg, bending down to look at my hand. Suddenly, the image pops up above my palm. "How did you just…" I say confusedly, knowing Henry didn't have magic.

He shrugs, "I don't- what is he doing?!"

I look back at my hand and gasp at the sight in front of me. Roland was sitting on the tree limb, "Oh my…" My voice trails off as I start thinking about bringing him here. Suddenly, he slips off the limb and starts plummeting to the ground. I frantically snap my fingers, hoping my magic wouldn't fail me now.

I open my eyes and look up in front of me. Fortunately, Roland was standing right there in front of me. Unharmed; no scratches, no bruises…nothing. "Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're okay!" I practically yell at him.

He runs into my arms for a hug, "Mommy! What's going on?" He asks childishly.

I pull him away from my body and he sits on my lap, "I don't know, baby. I don't know what's happening or where your father is…I don't know." Suddenly I remember that Henry helped me find Roland…maybe he can do the same for Robin. "Henry, touch my arm again. See if I can find him."

He does as he's told and wraps his fingers around my arm. I concentrate on Robin again, trying to bring him back without looking to see where he is first. My eyes were held shut so tightly that my whole face began to hurt. My body was trembling, and Henry was gripping hard onto my arm. Finally, I see him and snap my fingers, hoping I could bring him there.

"Regina!" I hear his voice shout from the edge of the cave. I open my eyes and see him running towards me. His arms wrap around me and pulls me up from the rock, kissing my lips deeply.

I chuckle as I pull away, "I'm so glad you're safe, dear." I say in a low voice, feeling okay now that he was here. Now that everyone was back with me.

"Yes…yes, I am." He says, running his fingers over both sides of my head, slicking my tied back hair back even more. He leans in and kisses me again, putting his all into it.

I hear the two young boys make sounds as though their tongues were hanging out of their mouths. I opened my eyes with my lips still locked onto Robin's to see my assumptions were correct. I smiled on his lips and wrapped my arms around his neck, returning what I had as well.

"Okay okay!" Henry exclaims, "This is as bad as the time at Granny's!"

I pulled away and Robin and I were both chuckling, trying to grab a breath of air. I bent over and sat back down on the rock, "We're sorry…for that…" I say, looking sheepishly up at Robin.

He winks at me.

"Soooo…" Henry says, "When are we going to go see the castles? I want to go to your castle, mom. And then I want to go to Snow White's and see Emma's room and-"

"Henry, it's in ruins." I interrupt as kindly as possible.

"I still want to see it! And I want to see where you lived and-" He paused and gasped, "And please can we go see where my dad lived?!"

"He never lived there-"

"And then I want to go to the stables and-"

"Henry!" I snap. "This isn't a vacation! We need to get home!" I yell, losing my poise momentarily.

He looks at me, a little hurt. "Why can't we at least go see those things?"

I bury my face into my hand. Robin rubs my shoulder, "Henry, we'll be able to do those another time, hopefully. We need to find a way to get back home for now."

"Why? Isn't this what you wanted after the curse broke? To come back here and be…be queen?" He asks me.

"Henry Mills, I will not put up with this. Go to your-" I pause and retort that statement, "Go get some firewood." I say.

He huffs and rolls his eyes, crossing his arms as he turns to walk out of the cave.

"Take Roland as well!" Robin yells out after him. Roland runs to Henry and they walk out of the cave. Robin turns back to me and kneels down in front of me, "Regina, I know that he's…that he stresses you…sometimes. But he's growing up. He's been through a lot lately, nonetheless. For now, just let it slide. Let him get back to the old Henry."

"Will he ever be the old Henry, though? Robin…he lived with Emma for a long time. I think part of him still wants to be with her."

"He is with her on weekends, Regina. You're still rightfully his mother." He says softly.

I hated it when I just wanted to be mad at him and all he does is try to cheer me up. I loved him for it, but hated it. It made it hard to stay mad at him.

His eyes gaze down to my stomach. The dress was pretty tight over it, but this is what I was wearing the last time I was in the Enchanted Forest, therefore what I came back in. He lays his hands on each side of my stomach, "You need to relax, dear. It's not good for you or her to be stressed."

My shoulders slump over. He was right again. "Why must you always end up being right?"

He smiles playfully proud, "I just…am." He says.

I gently push his shoulder back in a playful manner. "We need to find out who did this."

"Yes, we do." He says, becoming serious now. "And we need to go out and look for others."

"After…this rain storm passes." I look at him with a confused, scrunched expression, "Did the rain feel peculiar to you?" I ask.

He nods, "I thought it was only me. Like…electricity?" He asks.

I nod as well, "That's not normal. Whoever cast this curse did that purposely to try and give us a clue as to who they are."

He bites his upper lip, trying to think of everyone who would've done this to us. "Who has the power of electricity, though? I mean…I can't really think of any well-known sorceresses that possess something like that."

"I think it has something more to do with the rain than anything." I say, looking down as I think. "I don't know…I'm just really confused on this whole subject, honestly. Why would anyone just curse us to the Enchanted Forest? For no known reason?"

Robin gives a demeaning look to me. I shake my head, not understanding why he was giving me that expression. "Regina…dear." He laughs and shakes his head, "You have a lot of enemies…remember?"

I bite my lip and cross my arms over my stomach, looking away sharply from him. I stare over into the corner.

"Regina, are you really going to take that the wrong way? You know you do! I mean…for goodness sakes, you made enemies with Tinkerbell at one point in your life."

I huff and roll my eyes, "It was her fault." I mumble.

He grabs both of my hands into his hands, "But without her, you probably wouldn't have given me a chance. Now would you?"

After a moment to think on it, I reluctantly shake my head. He was right…(Again)…I probably wouldn't have given this common thief two looks. Unless they were snobby looks. "Anyway. Let's go see if we can find any others."

He agreed and we both got up. We walked out of the cave, hand in hand. I looked around for Henry, but saw Roland instead. "Boys, get inside. I need to put a protection spell on it so no one can get in."

Roland picks up the remaining sticks at his feet and Henry walks from behind the tree with a few good sized logs in his hands. They walk inside and throw the sticks and logs down in a pile. I throw a fireball onto the wood so it would stay warm for them.

"Roland, you know how to contact me if you need me. Climb into the tree and call out our…special call. Okay?" Robin says.

Roland nods and I give Robin a death glare. "You told him to climb the tree?"

"What tree?" Robin asks, clearly confused.

"Never mind." I snap, dropping the subject.

We walk out of the cave and I wave my hand in front of me, casting the spell over the entrance of the cave. Henry and Roland wave at us through the invisible wall blocking us, we wave and begin to walk away. As we trudged through the forest, I began growing very tired and weary. "I need to sit for a second, Robin." I say, slightly embarrassed that I didn't have the energy to continue.

He nods and leads us to a stump. I sit down on it and lean my elbows on my knees. "The forest is awfully wet. It must have been raining like this for days now."

I nod in agreement. "Must have." I say breathlessly.

He kneels down beside me and rubs my back, "Are you feeling okay, other than being tired?"

I shake my head, trying to focus down at my lap. "I feel dizzy and lightheaded."

"Do you need some water or something?" Robin asks.

"I… I don't know." I say. "I just need to shake it off…" I swallow hard, knowing that there wasn't going to be much shaking off here. I blinked as I tried to focus on one spot, trying to stop the world from spinning so heavily. My chest heaves as I feel trouble catching my breath. Suddenly, a pain shoots through my rib cage and I try to muffle my yelp with my hand over my mouth.

Robin grabs my back and steadies me in his hands, "Regina, dear…are you okay? What's wrong?"

I grab my ribs under my arm, my teeth were clenched so tight that my jaws were aching. "AH! I don't know...what's going on…" I manage to say between trying to get breaths.

"We need to find a doctor or something." Robin says frantically.

"Robin, we've been through the whole damned forest, I don't think we'll be finding anyone let alone a doctor!" I snap viciously, the pain was striking through me like a dagger in my chest. I squeeze Robin's hand tightly as another pain rolls around my whole rib cage. "Just…lay me on the ground." I command, still in pain.

He gently scoops his arms under my back and lays me on the ground. I stretch out just as another pain rips through me, resulting in me buckling in half. "Regina, breathe…" He says out of instinct, being the only thing he knew to tell me.

"I can't…AH!" I yell again, arching my back and digging my head into the ground below me. I gasped for air again as I held tightly onto my left side. The baby was moving around ebulliently and kicking me harder than before. I could feel the more pain and nerves that I felt, she grew more and more uneasy.

"Roland, hand me some logs please. The fire needs more wood." Henry says, kneeling on one knee beside the fire, prodding it with a long stick. He didn't hear an answer from his younger brother, rather he just felt a log touch his back. He looked over his shoulder at it and grabbed the other end of it, "Thanks-" He stopped and his eyes widened. He gasped as he realized that the hand on the other end was purple. He followed the arm up and looked at this woman's face. The rest of her wasn't purple, but half of her arm was. "Wh-who are you?" He stammers.

"You don't know me, dear boy. You've never met me, even. But your brother over there," She turns around and looks into the corner where Roland is squirming, his mouth was tied with a gag and his hands and feet were bound together. "He probably remembers me…" Her lips curl into a large, devious smile. She lets out a booming laugh, then pushes the log onto Henry's shoulder hard. He struggles to not fall into the fire.

"How did you get in here?" He asks nervously, sitting back on his hands and looking up at this ferocious woman. His breaths were heavy and uneven, his heart was pounding like it could pop from his chest any moment.

She lets out a huff, almost like a laugh, then shrugs one shoulder and buries her chin into it. She bats her eyes at Henry and tries to seem innocent, "Your mommy might want to check the rest of the cave next time before she seals you in here." She says in a low, demeaning tone.

Henry immediately bolts up to his feet upon remembering what Regina said about this spell. No one can get in, but they can get out. He rushes to the entrance of the cave and smacks up against an invisible wall. He stumbles backwards as he brings his hand up to his throbbing head.

"Ah ah, young boy. You must know that every time someone tampers with a sorceresses spell, it sends a roaring pain through that sorceresses body, right?" She asks, raising a sarcastic eyebrow. Henry shakes his head and she laughs once more, "Well, I tampered with it…you tried to break it…therefore, she's probably in more pain right now than I could ever inflict." She smiles devilishly, "All thanks to her son."

"AH!" I scream in pain. It was only getting worse, and there was nothing I could do about it. I had already tried magic and that just made it worse.

"What could be doing this, Regina?"

I slam my head against the ground as my chest heaves. I snap my eyes shut and try to think as hard as I can. "The spell." I mumble. My eyes fly open and I try to sit up, only to be met with another ripping pain. "The…spell…someone's messed with it, Robin." I said, feeling dizzier than before. "Someone's in there." I murmur, growing more and more tired by the second. My eyes were becoming heavier and much harder to keep open, "Go find them…"

"No. I can't leave you here. I can't!" He yells, mostly from being nervous. She tilts her head over at him and raises her hand to his cheek, trying to smile at him. "Regina, I can't leave you here. This will not happen! Not again!" He says, referring to the time Marian was sick.

"Go…Robin…" I manage to say, closing my eyes.

He shook my shoulders, "No! Regina!" He leans over my body quickly and then sits back up, "Regina!" He yells. He shakes his head and reluctantly gets up, knowing that I was still breathing, just not in this world currently. My breathing became calmer as I fell into a deep slumber, I saw nothing but black. The last thing I heard were his footsteps leaving me and I tried to smile, only to be knocked out before I could.

Robin walked to the cave deep in the forest, not knowing why exactly. He couldn't get rid of the spell surrounding the entrance. But he walked there anyway, hoping to find his two boys sitting happily in the cave, completely unharmed. When he reached the entrance, he found that the fire was lit and burning hot, but he couldn't see Roland or Henry. He walks up as close as he can, and finally spots a shadow; one much larger than either of the boys'. He focuses in on who it was and finally sees her well enough. He recognizes the glowing shell she wore, and he now saw the purple hand. "Ursula." He whispers. He beat on the enchantment to try and get through, but all it did was make Ursula realize he was there.

She glided up to the entrance and met him there, she tried to choke him with her magic but failed, due to the fact that this spell acted like a wall. A shield. She huffed and went back to the boys that were wrapped in the corner. She pointed to them and began to act like she was strangling them. Robin fell to his knees as he watched this sight, then quickly realized she was only threatening to do so. He needed Regina. And he needed her right now.

He rose to his feet quickly and sprinted back to the spot where Regina was. He finally found her, not laying in the same spot she was in before. He approached her and laid his hand nervously on her back, "Regina! Ursula…she's back…she has the boys!"

Regina whips her head around quickly, the ponytail following. "Who the hell are you?" She asks, eyes narrowed in on his.

Robin's mouth drops open. "Regina…it's me! Robin!" He answers frantically.

"Oh, the Prince of Thieves? The one who is wanted in this forest? If I were you, I wouldn't be so idiotic as to show my face in these woods. Especially around the Queen.

He gasped, realizing she really didn't remember him. He threw his hand to his forehead and took a deep breath, trying to figure out what he was going to do next. He leaned in quickly to kiss her. True loves kiss breaks all curses.

She quickly batted him away with one swift movement of her hand, calling on her magic. It threw him to the ground, he landed with a thud. "I don't know why you think that was called for, Outlaw, but it most certainly wasn't. And now you'll just get even more time in a cell." She pauses and laughs, "Have fun."

THAT WAS INTENSE! And Ursula is back! D: Oh no. I told you guys to be ready for some tragedies D:

Warning for the next chapter: You probably will cry if you're a legit hardcore OutlawQueen shipper. Like. Hard. Sad. Bye.

And my AMAZING guest writer is coming in to write this next chapter. I'm so psyched! Hahaha. She is going to play this witchy side of Regina so well. She always does! :D

BE EXCITED! Review please and tell me your thoughts! I practically thrive off of your ideas and prompts and things like that. Plus, I just like knowing that you read it! So again, please review :)

Thanks!

Much love,

G.
