Last Week On Broken
"I know, you are like the worst person on earth to have children," Mal said honestly.
"Yes, I know but apparently Emma thinks otherwise. She begged me for it and I gave in. She thinks it'll help me change so people will see me as a better person but Mal...this is who I am. There's no getting out of this," Regina said, "The odds are against me."
"Maybe they aren't. We have to at least hope for the best. What are you going to do?" Mal asked.
Regina stopped pacing, she sighed, "I'm going to leave."
"Excuse me what? I have you've lost your fucking marbles? You can't leave," Maleficent scoffed.
"I have to, Mal it's better than going to jail for the rest of my life. This isn't a few years we are talking about, this is murder," Regina argued, "I can't stay here."
"If you run you'll look guilty and you'll have to remain on the run forever. You will break that little girl's heart in the process," Mal argued back.
"Emma wouldn't be apart of this, I wouldn't stay with her," Regina sighed, "I can't ask her to come with me, she has too much to risk."
"And you don't!? Regina, please think about this-"
"I'm done thinking, I've made up my mind," Regina stated.
"And what about me? You're best friend? What about G? Do we get to know anything or-"
"Nobody can know, I want to do this on my own," Regina said.
Mal rubbed her temples, "Emma will probably jump off a building-"
"No she won't," Regina scoffed, "She's not the type...she'll move on anything."
"You don't know that, losing someone you love makes you do crazy things," Mal argued, "She will never move on, she loves you."
"Yeah but it'll fade…" Regina said with sad eyes.
"You don't think Emma really loves you do you? Is this what this is all about?!" Mal snapped.
"She won't give up everything to be with me, I won't let her. Yeah sure she wants a kid but I don't think Emma fully understands everything that's going on," Regina sighed.
"She would, how do I know her better than you do?" Mal scoffed.
"You think you do, I know my girlfriend. I'm doing the right thing ok?" Regina asked before leaving out.

"Hey, what's up?" Graham asked, with his eyes glued to the television as he played NBA 2k as Lily walked into his room.
She sat next him and watched him play for a few minutes, "So you aren't going to pay me any attention?"
He paused the game, "I asked you 'what's up?' and you don't respond. What's wrong?"
"I need to talk to you," she said, "I need you to try to be calm down."
"I'm calm," he grabbed her and pulled her on his lap, "Now tell me what do I need to be calm about."
"Graham," she took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant." His eyebrows furrowed, he was completely shocked. He slid her off of his lap and began to pace, she was getting nervous, "Say something."
He rubbed his face, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm very sure. I know this ruins everything-"
"Don't say that," he cut her, "We will be fine. I just have to think about school now, my dad will probably disown me and your sister will kill me. This is a lot to take in Lil, a baby is a lot of work. Are you ready? Are you sure you want to keep it?"
"You want to kill our baby?" She asked with fear in her eyes.
He shook his head, "No, of course not. I'm just scared for you, you're 16."
"I know but I'm worried about you-"
"It's not about me, my job is easy. You have the hard part, Lily you're incredible and I don't want to hurt you but I can't just drop out of school-"
"And I don't want you to. You won't have to-"
"You expect me to just let you go through this pregnancy alone? Are you crazy?"
"I won't be alone...Emma will help-"
He scoffed, "Get real, Emma knows just as much as you do. I can't be in New York and here-"
"Wait, my mom lives in New York, maybe I can move up there and finish school there," she smiled a little.
"That would be perfect," he smiled, "I'm excited for this baby by the way."
"I can tell...punk," she smirked.
"Oh yeah? I'm show you a punk," he smirked back before pushing her down on the bed.
"Graham, we have to tell my sister…"
"I know, she's going to be livid," he confirmed, "But, I'm sure we can handle it."
"I hope she doesn't kill you," Lily mumbled.
Emma was reading her favorite book when Regina walked through the door, "I have to get used to you being here," she said.
"Do you want me to leave?" Emma asked.
"No, I love having you here. Have you talked to your dad?" Regina asked as she sat next to her.
"Yeah," Emma scoffed, "I told him to stop calling me and that I hate him."
"You don't hate him," Regina said.
"I do though," Emma sighed, "How was your day?"
"It was fine, I got questioned, it was so fun," Regina rolled her as the sarcasm rolled off her tongue.
"They think you did it?" Emma asked.
"Yeah, they really do. They can't charge me with anything, there isn't any evidence so I'm good for now," Regina nodded.
"I missed you," Emma purred.
"Oh really?" Regina smirked.
"Yes...Regina are you feeling ok? Like since last night-"
"I'm fine Emma," Regina said rather quickly.
"Are you sure?" Emma asked, "You seem different...distant."
"I'm fine," Regina stated again.
"But you-"
"Emma what did I just say?" Regina snapped, "I'm fine."
Emma sighed and continued to read her book. Ten minutes later there was a knock on the door, Regina went to opened it and smiled when she saw her little sister there, "Look who came to visit me."
Lily smiled, "Couldn't stay away, on a serious note though, I have to tell you something."
"Where's Graham?" Emma asked out of curiosity.
"Parking, he'll be up shortly," Lily said as she sat next to her best friend.
"What do you have to tell me?" Regina asked as she leaned on the door.
"Well I wanted to wait until-"
"Tell me now," Regina said, "What do you need Graham for?"
Lily literally good feel her heart pumping faster, Regina had a way of wrecking nerves to the point where there was nothing else to do but reveal the truth. Sweat began to build up on her forehead, Lily licked her lips, "I'm pregnant."
"You're what?!" Regina snapped, "Are you fucking crazy?!"
"Gigi I-"
"Oh don't Gigi me, Lily you're 16, you can't take care of a baby-"
"I'll have Graham-"
"Oh please, he isn't capable either," Regina rolled her eyes, "I knew this would happened, I should've kept you away from him. Lily," she sighed, "I thought I told you to be careful."
Lily began tearing up, "Gigi, we were careful. I can't do this alone, even with Graham by my side things will get hard and I was wonder-"
"Oh no, please don't tell me you want my help," Regina scoffed.
Graham walked through the door, "What did I miss?"
Regina glared at him, "I'm going to kill you."
He instantly looked at Lily, "What happened to waiting on me to park?"
"She forced it out me," Lily whined.
"I did no such thing," Regina snapped, "Graham please tell me you didn't get my 16 year old sister pregnant!"
"Gina, it kind of just happened!" He argued.
Regina and Graham broke out into an argument and Emma stayed quiet as she watched. Lily being pregnant was a blessing in Emma's eyes, she believes God doesn't give people anything they can't handle. She was worried about Regina though, the brunette was definitely different. If Emma wasn't sure, watching Regina throw the couple out of her condo and disowning Graham's friendship just confirmed it.

"So what do you want to do for your birthday?" Emma asked as she cuddled into Regina.
The brunette shrugged, "It doesn't matter to me dear, just a reminder that I'm getting older."
"21 is a great age Regina," Emma chuckled, "You're not even close to being old."
Regina chuckled before turning and looking Emma in the eyes, "We need to talk."
"Ok, about what?" Emma asked, "Is it about the baby?"
"There's no baby Emma-"
"Yeah well not yet," Emma scoffed.
"Yeah...Emma, I might have to go away for a while. Things could take a turn for the worst, I just want to make sure you're mentally prepared for that dear," Regina stated.
"I'll be ok Regina, I just want to make sure you're ok. I love you," Emma said.
"I love you too but Emma, things aren't as easy as you think. I don't want you to get hurt in the process-"
"So what are you saying Regina? You are acting like I'm some child that doesn't understand that you can go to jail for the rest of your life-"
"And if I do then what? You expect me to let you wait for me for the rest of your life? No, Emma that's stupid-"
"So then I'll be stupid-"
"You've already been stupid enough dear," Regina scoffed.
Emma swallowed, "What is that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing, look, I'm going out of town tomorrow, I need some time to think," Regina sighed.
"Fine Regina, do whatever you want," Emma scoffed.
Regina stayed up and watched Emma sleep, she couldn't find peace in her head. So much was running through her brain, she was so scared of breaking Emma's heart but she couldn't allow herself to lead Emma into a snake pit. Something had to be done, she needed advice from the best and tomorrow she would get that.
Next week, Regina visits some friends and Emma and Neal have a chat. PLEASE REVIEW! Connect with me on Twitter, I'm going to be more active. Plus, I love talking to you guys!
