CHAPTER 11 – DIFFERENT FRIEND

"Mom?" Henry called when he heard the sound of a crying woman. "Mom, are you there? What's happening?" Henry asked worried but he got no answer.

Henry pushed the door slowly and gasped at what he saw. Cora was dangerously close to Regina who was lying on the floor, crying. Henry didn't know what was happening but he was afraid.

"Foolish Girl! I gave you everything. You would be a Queen and what are you now? Nothing!" Cora yelled.

"Mother, please stop. You're hurting me." Regina said trying to get up off the floor.

"Stop it! Get away from my mom, you witch!" Henry emerged from his position and start crying.

"Look who is here, Regina" Cora said with a dark smile.

"Henry, go away, run!" Regina tried to scream amidst the pain.

"No! I'm not leaving!" Henry said.

"Then you will watch this, boy!" Cora said when she put Regina in the air and began to choke her magically.

"Stop! Please stop!" Henry started screaming through his tears when he saw Regina trying to breath.

"Ouch!" Regina screamed, clutching her belly.

Henry and Cora saw the blood running down Regina's leg and falling to the ground.

"Mom?" Henry asked shocked.

"Oh my god, there's something... something's wrong... it hurts... ouch!" Regina cried.

"I told you, Regina, you'll not have this baby"

"Stop! You're hurting her, please stop! Stop!" Henry shouted with all his strength.

"Henry? Henry, wake up!" Emma said shaking the boy who was struggling and screaming in bed.

"Don't hurt her, please!" Henry said still crying and sleepy.

"Henry! It's just a nightmare, wake up" Emma tried again.

"What?" Henry jumped up scared, looking for something in the room.

"Henry..." Emma said comforting him "It's okay, it was just a nightmare"

"No, I want to go to my mom" Henry said crying.

"Henry, Regina is fine... it was just a nightmare, you want to tell me about it?" Emma asked worried.

"No!" Henry shouted "I want to see my mom"

"But Henry, it's still night and Regina must be sleeping" Emma tried.

"No! What if she is not fine? I want to talk to her" Henry cried.

Emma tried a few more times to tell the boy that it was just a nightmare and that Regina was fine, but she couldn't convince him.

"Look, Henry, I'll not take you there now because it's late and she must be sleeping, but we can call her. What do you think? See if she's fine. I promise you that if she isn't fine I'll take you there, okay?" Emma said picking up the phone and handing to Henry.

"Okay" The boy nodded while dialing the number he had decorated.

"Mom?" Henry said quietly when Regina answered her phone after a few minutes.

"Henry?" Regina asked sleepily still trying to recognize the voice in the middle of her sleep.

"Mom, are you okay?" Henry asked worried.

"Henry, of course I'm fine" Just then Regina managed to focus on the clock next to the bed. 2:30 am. "Henry, what happened? Are you okay? Why are you awake at this hour, I swear if they let anything happen-" Regina started asking a lot of questions. The desperation starting to take care of her.

"No, mom. I'm fine, I just wanted to know if you were okay..."

"I'm fine, my love, what happened?" Regina said calming down.

"Nothing, nothing happened, I just wanted to talk to you" Henry said but Regina knew him better than anyone. She knew he was hiding something from her.

"It doesn't seem like nothing happened. You really don't want to tell me what happened?" She insisted.

"Nothing happened, mom, I promise."

"Okay, then you will go back to sleep because it is too early for my baby to be awake and you have school tomorrow morning."

"Okay"

"Okay, good night, my love"

"Good night, mom, I love you!"

"I love you too" She smiled and hung up.

Emma watched Henry's conversation on the phone from the door. She saw how quickly the boy calmed down. It hadn't been the first time that Henry had nightmares and since Cora was arrested he was losing many nights of sleep with nightmares. The problem was that for some reason Henry wasn't telling Emma about what the dreams were, but she knew that it was about Regina because the boy always woke up worried about her. His nightmares have become more frequent lately. Emma wondered if Regina had known about these dreams or if the boy had told her. She also hoped that they don't mean anything.

The next morning, Emma left Henry at the school and walked toward the stables as she did every morning. As always, Regina was already there. She was looking tired and seemed to not have slept well at night. Emma wondered if she should have woken her at dawn, because she spends all morning teaching Emma and the rest of the day at City Hall and sometimes she saw Regina and Archie having lunch together at Granny's.

Archie insisted that Regina shouldn't be alone at home and on several occasions he found himself wondering how it would be living with her, the mother of his babies. But the idea disappears as soon as he sees how independent she is and how lucky he was to have a night with that woman.

Henry and Archie were getting a little closer than before. They were spending so much time together because Regina was always in the City Hall, Emma was training and Mary and David were making plans and taking care of the police station along with Emma. Almost always, Archie took Henry from the school and took him to the City Hall so that the three could have lunch together. Generally, Regina never ate with them, but she loved spending time with them. She wanted to believe that it was only because of Henry, but it wasn't. After, Henry spent the afternoon in Archie's office, talking and joking when Archie had no patients. When Archie was busy, Henry took Pongo and went sightseeing.

It was true that Regina was having good times with the dog. One afternoon when Archie was alone, Pongo fled the office without anyone seeing him. After searching almost the entire city, Archie called Regina in dismay stating that Pongo was missing and asking if she could help him to find his dog. Archie wasn't so surprised when Regina said that the dog had entered her office and was there with her.

"Regina, I'm so sorry! He left and I couldn't find him." Archie said entering Regina's office.

"Everything is fine, Archie! He was very polite and helpful." Regina said turning to the dog that was lying on the couch with his head on Regina's leg. "Aren't you, Pongo?" Regina smiled at the dog as she stroked the dog's head. Pongo barked upon hearing his name.

After the routine questions that Archie always had about Regina or the babies' health, he said goodbye and called Pongo, who didn't move.

"Come on, Pongo! You've made me walk far enough for one day." Archie said looking at the dog and having fun by the fact that the dog wouldn't move from Regina's leg. "Come on, boy!"

"Why don't you let him stay with me? I can take him to you later." Regina offered absently staring at the dog.

"Are you sure?" Archie looked doubtful at Regina.

"It's not like I'm turning him into a frog, Archie." Regina tried to make a joke.

"No, that's not... it's that if he is bothering you-"

"He's not. Indeed, Pongo is an excellent companion" she smiled.

"Okay then. I'll wait for you later. If you want to have dinner with me I can try to cook something." Archie offered.

"It's the least you can try to do for me Archie, considering it's because your children that I can't eat almost anything." she smiled again.

"Okay then. See you later." He said and left, denying the sudden urge to hug her.

Archie left the office and called Henry saying he had an idea to tell the boy and wanted to know his opinion.

"Hey, Henry!" Archie opened the door to his office to a smiling and extremely curious boy.

"Hey, Archie, I came running. What is your idea?"

"Did you know I lost Pongo today?"

"No. He disappeared? Did you find him? We need find him, Archie!" Henry sighed sadly.

"Calm down, Henry. Actually, I found him and you won't imagine where he was."

"Where?"

"He was with Regina. When I arrived at her office, he was lying on the couch with his head on her legs."

"Seriously? I knew that Mom liked Pongo. In recent weeks, she asked me a few things about dogs..." Henry said remembering the facts.

"So I got an idea!"

"What?" Henry asked excited about what was to come.

"Do you think Regina would like to stay with Pongo? I mean, I love him, he is my dog. But he likes Regina and I don't want her to be alone at home, it would be a great solution, what do you think?"

"I have a much better idea!"

"What idea?" Archie frowned.

"Why we don't buy her a dog? A female. We can buy a female Pongo? A Dalmatian. Mom would love it." Henry said happily.

"Well, I hadn't thought of that, but what if she doesn't want the dog?"

"She'll want it, maybe she'll get a little angry at first, but if we ask for her to stay with her, she'll stay, I'm sure... I even have a name for her." Henry said.

Archie smiled. Henry was a child but still acted like an adult. He always saw things in a different way from everyone else.

"Okay! So let's go find a Dalmatian! But this is our secret, okay Henry?" Archie asked.

"Okay, our secret!" Henry nodded very happy.

Later, Regina and Pongo arrived. They were having dinner at Granny's. At that time, everyone in the city knew about Regina's pregnancy, but few knew they were twins.

"Your Majesty!" Mr. Gold greeted Regina, approaching the table when the three ate calmly.

"What do you want, Gold?" Regina said irritably.

"Nothing, I just want to know how the future mommy is" Mr. Gold asked.

"She's fine!" Henry said. Regina gave him a grateful smile and went back to eating.

"I was thinking what their names would be..." Mr. Gold said with a smile.

Archie and Regina looked frightened at Mr. Gold. How did he find out about the twins? Who told him? And most importantly, was he planning something? The possibility of having her children close to Mr. Gold was frightening to Regina, who rose suddenly.

"How do you know that?" She asked angrily.

"Take it easy, your Majesty. I've missed that you were pregnant, now I prefer to keep myself updated!" Mr. Gold answered with a smile.

"You'll not touch my children, are you listening to me?" Archie said angrily.

"So it's true, I was right. The Queen and the Cricket, who could imagine?" Mr. Gold said sarcastically, but before Archie and Regina could react, Belle appeared and pulled him.

"I'm sorry, Regina." Belle said, pulling Gold to her table.

"Don't apologize to her, Belle. It's because of her that Cora is here, in town." he said.

"Rumple, you promised me, remember?" Belle said looking into his eyes.

"It's okay, Belle. I was just having a conversation with Regina, that is all."

"Okay, let's go to our table." Belle said taking him with her and throwing an apologetic look to Regina.

Regina and Archie sat down at the table again. Archie and Henry resumed eating but Regina didn't. She was shaking.

"Regina, you're shaking!" Archie said looking at Regina and taking her hands in his. "And you are cold, are you okay?" he asked worried.

"I... I'm fine, Archie. I just lost my appetite, I think I'll go home now!" Regina said trying to soften the fear on her face.

"I'll go with you, mom!" Henry said, ignoring his food.

"I would love that, Henry, but I think I need to be alone tonight and you have school tomorrow and I haven't talked to Emma about it, but if you want, you can sleep at home tomorrow. What do you think?" Regina offered looking calmer.

"Okay, but you'll take me to my grandparent's home?"

"Yes, of course!" She said, standing up and saying goodbye to Archie. He was concerned with Regina but didn't want to pressure her. Not now and not in front of Henry.

Haha, So, what do you think? Do you liked Henry's idea?

In the next, you will discover the babies' gender... Are you as excited as I am?

Please, Reviews!
