Regina
I walked into Rumple's shop and he smiled at me innocently.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"You helped Snow with this potion… Didn't you?" I asked raising my hand so he can see the ring and he smiled at me.
"Aww congratulations" he said. "I was rooting for you to love birds to get together"
"This isn't know how bad it was when I was tied down to her damn fother" I said and he nodded.
"Sorry I owed them. Anyways I can look into how to undo it but remember all magic…" he started.
"always come with a price… I know… wait what do you mean you don't know how to undo it?" I asked.
"Well your lovely ex-husband was who I got the spell off of in the first place and never used it. He's the only person I've known that ever used it and well he's dead. I don't know how to undo it but I can look into it for a price" he said and I nodded.
"Fine I owe you" I said.
"Yes you do 200" he said shocking me. Normally he just asks for a favor down the road.
"What?"
"200 dollars times are tough, taxes were raised recently and bills are piling up" he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Really you are complaining about the new taxes?" I asked.
"Yes the major raised them, I wonder why" he said.
"Fine will you take a check?" I asked.
"Sure" he said and I wrote it out. I guess I'm going to have to wait a bit but it could be worse. Emma is nowhere near the worst person to be married to.
Emma
He sat down across from me and I smiled at him.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey um I'm not going to say I forgive you but I was thinking that maybe we could give it another try" he said and I sighed.
"I really like you, I do. But you refused to talk to me for a week.. I get what I did was wrong but I'm gonna mess up. I can't be in the type of relationship right now where you can go a week without talking to me" I said.
"That's not fair you were the one who lied.." He started.
"I know and I'm sorry about that but this isn't a real relationship. In a real relationship you can't go a week without talking. I have a son and a baby on the way whether you want to think about it or not and I can't…" I continued.
"So this relationship was fake to you?" He asked pissed.
"No but it wasn't healthy. We didn't talk to each other, we weren't connected. I can't raise a kid with that inconsistently." I said and he nodded.
"So it's over?" He asked.
"Honestly it's for the best. It would have been too complicated" I said and he nodded.
"Are you seeing her?" He asked.
"No we are just friends" I said even though I hate it. We haven't talked about the kiss since last week and nothing else has happened between us.
"Friends raising a kid together?" He said bitterly like he's suspicious.
"Yeah it's confusing but even if something was happening which it's not it's not the reason we shouldn't get back together. I have my kids to think about" I said and he nodded.
"Goodbye, Emma." He said leaving and I sighed before getting up and leaving avoiding the look of the people here. Why is the whole town here shouldn't they be in work?
Henry
I sat down across from him eating the cake.
"Ok I need your help with a mission" I said and he looked at me shocked.
"You do, I'm surprised normally that's you and Emma's thing" he said and I nodded.
"Yeah but she's part of the end goal so she can't be a part of it" I said and he gave me a confused look.
"Alright what is it?" I asked.
"We need to help push my moms together. I'm getting sick of this awkward flirting tension thing they have going on. They both like each other and they are both fighting it" I said and he laughed.
"Uh what?" he asked.
"They are acting like awkward middle schoolers who like each other but don't know how act around the other. It's painful to watch" I said and he laughed.
"Do you really think setting your moms up is a good idea?" He asked as if it's not the best idea.
"Yes they are obviously not going to get together without our help" I said throwing the fork into the sink and taking a sip of milk.
"Henry that's probably for the best. Your moms have had a complicated relationship since you found Emma and it's just starting to get better. If they get together it could end badly and we are back to square one" he said logically and I nodded.
"Or they could get together and stay together" I reasoned.
"I just don't think it's for the best" he said.
"Come on don't you want your daughter to be happy?" I asked getting annoyed that he won't help me. I know my mom's love each other I see it all the time. Every time Emma calls or texts my mom she immediately goes to get it and respond eager to talk to her. Every time my mom talks about Regina she gets all happy and weird about it. They love each other and it's time they get together.
"Yes I do, Henry. I just don't think it's with your mom. They might like each other right now but there is a lot complicating it. I mean for one Regina is mentally a lot older than Emma" he said and I didn't think about that.
"Yeah but they aren't actually…" I started.
"Regina can probably remember when Snow was pregnant with Emma" he said Yeah that is a little weird but they love each other.
"Yeah that's kind of odd but they love each other. Besides we spent a lot of time in a curse" I argued
"That your mom put us under" he argued and I sighed.
"Ok that's all in the past… she changed her life around thanks to Emma. If I didn't find her we would still be cursed and my mom would still be the Evil Queen. Emma changed her life for the better!" I argued and he sighed.
"Henry leave it to them, they are adults. They can make their own decisions, if they get together or not is up to them" he said in the end of discussion voice. Ok maybe someone else will help me.
Emma
I was going through the house desperately searching for where I put my keys, not far along yet to blame pregnancy brain but whatever, since apparently they have been sucked into another world. Well with my life I wouldn't doubt it. I opened up the one drawer and paused when I saw a potion bottle in there.
'Miscet Proelio' it read. What does that mean and why does she have it. I typed it into google translate and eventually found that it's latin and translates to engagement spell. Ok what the hell? Why would they have this.
"Hello" my mom answered and I sighed not sure what to expect.
"Um why do you have an engagement spell?" I asked and she sighed.
"Honey what are you talking about?" She asked knowing exactly what i'm talking about but seems to be buying herself some time.
"Since when do you play with magic and who was this for" I said looking at the ring I have on from Henry. I know my mom was behind that by why would she want my and Regina to be married.
"Honey it's not a big deal"
"What did you do mom" I said.
"Look it just keeps her from trying to use you" she said as if that makes this all ok. What is happening right now? This doesn't make sense.
"What the hell mom? Did you use this on me and Regina?" I asked.
"No just Regina technically you aren't tied to her. I'm not trying to marry you two just keep her in her place" she said shocking me.
"You had no fucking right to do that" I shouted at her and hung up. What is going on anymore. I called Regina.
"Hey everything ok?"
"Can we talk?" I asked. I don't know what's going on or if she even knows it's happening but I need to get to the bottom of it.
"Uh yeah sure, where?" She asked.
"My house I lost my keys" I said and she laughed.
"Alright i'll be there" she said before we hung up and I tried to put my thoughts together before she gets here.
When she finally got here I could tell she was worried.
"Is everything ok" she asked.
"Did you know that my mom magically married us?" I asked and she sighed.
"Yeah" she said shocking me.
"Wait really?" I asked. Why didn't she tell me.
"Yeah your mom threatened me with it and then I put two and two together when Snow helped Henry with the rings." She said and I looked at her shocked.
"I have Rumple working on undoing it"
"Why didn't you tell me we are married?"I asked not sure why i'm mad at her.
"I couldn't i'm not allowed to say no to you or insult you or leave you" she said and I can't believe my mom made her my prisoner.
"Oh my god… I didn't know anything about this. So what do we do?" I asked.
"Nothing we just wait until we figure out how to undo this." She said and I sighed.
"So that kiss, did you mean to kiss me back or were you forced to?" I asked wondering if the only reason she is nice to me and that kiss happened is because she can't not do it.
"It wasn't like that. I kissed you back, not sure why but that was me not a spell" she admitted and I nodded.
"Ok I didn't want to force you into doing something" I said awkwardly and she shook her head.
"You didn't "
"Well now that we are married does that mean that your mansion is mine too?" I asked jokingly.
"You wish" she said and I laughed.
"By the way I brought that label into him, he will get back to you soon" she said and I nodded.
"Ok thanks" I said and she nodded before leaving. So no we are married (technically) and we are still acting like awkward teenagers. Great. Now even if I wanted to ask her out I couldn't (yet) because she would be forced to say yes even she didn't want to. That's taking advantage of it a bit. Great so now we are in a stand still.
Hey sorry for the mix-up and the wait. Let me know what you think.
