Learning to Love

Chapter 8

I looked at her run down the hall and she looked so happy I walked down slowly and as I got to the room she looked at me. Her mouth was filled with pancakes.
"Emma eat like the Princess that you are."
"This is how you eat."
"Well I'm a queen there is a difference." We both laughed and I say down and began to eat my pancakes.
"What did I get this time."
"You will have to wait. Guards leave me and Emma alone please."
We finish and I sit on the chair and watch her open her presents.
"A dress!!."
"Do you like it."
"I love it thank you."
"It's a horse shoe."
"Yes it's a clue."
"Did you get me a horse."
"It's did indeed and now you can start your training."
"Thank you this is the best birthday ever."
She runs over to me and hugs me I hold her.
"Beastie your creasing my dress."
"Sorry. Can I try on my dress ?"
"Sure I'll wait here."
"See you in a second."
She runs to her room and she puts on the dress and runs back.
"How do I look."
"Beautiful as always."
"Thank you." She takes a bow and walks over to me and invites me for a dance. We dance and then she laughs and runs around the room.
"You will hurt yourself."
"I'll be fine." As she said that she fell and cut her knee.
"Agggghhhhh Regina I cut my leg."
"Okay I'll heal it."
I hold her leg and heal her leg she hugs me and smiles.
"Even though you aren't my mum I still am glad you care about me."
"Beastie I have cared for you since the day you where born."
"I've been having those nightmares again."
"I would never hurt you beastie I care about you."

Time lapse to Emma's 13th birthday

I had been woken up by Emma when she was screaming for me to come to watch her open her birthday presents. That kid was a nightmare always waking me up. I walked through and sat on the chair.
"Okay so I'm guessing I've got another dress hopefully."
"You better wait and see."
She opens it and screams.
"It's so beautiful." She teared up and I wiped her tear and she smiled.
"Thank you."
"Your so grateful aren't you bestie."
"I'm grateful because I have everything I want but you always make me feel better."
"It's what I'm here for."
She hugs me and I laugh.
"Can I try on my dress."
"Yes but when you come back don't run because every birthday you always fall. She runs to her room and she puts on her new dress. She runs in and looks at me.
"Fine you can run but be careful."
She ran around and at her 10th time around she fell over and hit her head on the table.
"EMMA!"
I ran and held her. I healed her head and hugged her.
"I could have lost you Emma what would I have done."
"I'm sorry."
"Are you okay."
"No I have a headache."
"Do you want me to heal it with medicine."
"Yes please."
She sits down and I give her some medicine.
"Are you okay"
"No I'm Still having those nightmares. You rip out my heart."
"I would never hurt you beastie I care about you."

"I don't need any presents you know you have given me enough."
"Your special to me so you get treated."
"Thank you."
"Have you met any nice Princes."
"No I'm not interested in them."
"Oh." I didn't know what else to say so I just walked with her to the room with her present.
"OMG that's huge."
"Open it then Emma."
She runs and opens it.
"It's two amazing dresses."
"Yes go try on your favourite."
"Okay." She tries the red one and puts her hair in a bun.
"How do I look."

"You look tierd."
"I am Emma."

"Let's go."
"Yes let's."
We walk to the room and sit and eat.
"Emma what do you want."
"I wish for nothing."
"You must want something."
"A new dress and shoes."
I choke on my food. She guessed what I got her. I coughed and took a sip of water.
"Regina are you okay."
"Yeah."
She opens her present and puts on the dress in front of me and then her shoes.
"Well ?"
"Stunning as always."
She walks around the room and stares at me and then runs to me and falls into my lap I fall of the seat and she lands on top of me. We both laugh....
