Second Chance

31

Emma Swan-

I pull up to Reginas drive, currently 7pm and it's getting dark. I hope Regina and henry have had a good day for both their sakes as I suspect we will have to tell him the truth soon.

My ghost white knuckles timidly tap against her big white door, but almost instantly she opens the door, grabbing my collar and dragging me in her home. She pulls me into the kitchen and starts clawing at my top, unbuttoning just the top three so her hands can greedily run between the valley of my breasts. I become lost in the moment, I pick her up and place her on the kitchen island, now she's a little higher and she needs to look down to kiss me. My hands brush up her bare thighs and beneath her skirt as her hands cup my cheeks into a fierce kiss.

"Wheres Henry?" I hum into the kiss.

"Upstairs playing" she returns, so I frantically continue to kiss her deeply. "Damn I've missed you all day" she moans as I scoop lower sucking on her neck and leaving marks all over. She moans as I suck and nibble on her flesh rapidly causing her head to fling back in view of the kitchen door. "H-henry" she stutters pushing me away from her and jumping off the kitchen island adjusting the rim of her skirt. "It's not what .... we..."

"Operation SwanQueen was quick" he smiles widely, eat to ear.

"Operation What?" I ask utterly shocked as Henry runs to my arms hugging me tight.

"SwanQueen. It was my operation to get you and Regina together so she can have her happy ending" his adorable little voice bellows with excitement as though he has completed his mission, despite the fact we've already mastered the SwanQueen ship days ago. We just let him have his victory.

"What have you got there?" Regina questions, seeing something in Henrys hand that he has come down with, he didn't have it before I presume.

He pulls back away from my death grip and shows a picture.

"It's of you, with a baby, but you told me you don't have children" he states more in a questionable manner cocking his head in confusion. Oh boy this isn't good.

"Oh boy... I think nows the time to tell him" I look over to Regina, seeing her chest panting heavily, seeing her eyes whip around everywhere as though she's utterly lost in this moment.

"What?! Now! What if..."

"Relax, we can do this together" I vow, walking over and taking her hand in mine. "Henry we need to talk to you" he sits upon a bar stool as Regina and I sit opposite.

"Tell me what?"

This has to be the most nerve wracking experience ever, for me and Regina. Everything in our past narrows down to this very moment and I sensed it coming for a long time now. But that doesn't change the fact regina and I are completely nervous for what's to come. This could go May ways, he could hate me for never telling him, he could live with Regina and just completely forget about me being as I'm not his birth mother. Or he can hate Regina for ever giving him up, he will wish they stuck together despite all the threats thrown her way, or hopefully he will be excited due to the fact he loves Regina, and he will be over the mood that he has two mothers.

"You know, sometimes a mother doesn't mean giving birth to a child. It could also be the person who raises you, who looks after you your whole life, someone who loves you and would do anything for you. That person is me henry. I didn't give birth to you, I adopted you and become your mother that way, but that doesn't change anything. I'm still your mother and I've been there for you since you was a baby, that makes me a mother" I lay out, Henry's breathing picks up due to this newly informed news and pants heavily.

"Wh...who given birth to me then?" He asks in panic. My head turns to Regina as she sighs deeply. She fiddles with her fingers and a single tear rolls down her cheek. "No... it's Regina ... isn't it" he clicks on, sensing the tension between us two. "Mom! Tell me!"

"Yes Henry, Regina given birth to you, but you know what Cora was like... she had no Choi...." with one quick movement he jumps off the stool and sprints out the front door with a slam. "He just needs time to think, it's a lot to take in"

"I told you we shouldn't have told him, you shouldn't have come here. I shouldn't be spending time with him, I shouldn't be doing whatever I'm doing with you Emma. It's done"

"No! It's not done Regina. I love you all the world and Henry does too. He just needs time to think, he needs reassurance that neither of us are giving up on him. So I'm not giving up on you either. You heard his operation queenswan thing, now he's happy we're together. He will come around and we will be a family" I sternly reply, cupping her cheek and watching as she melts into my touch. I lean in, kissing her delicately and resting my forehead against hers

"SwanQueen" she whispers.

"What?" I question.

"It's SwanQueen, not queenswan" she kisses me again and stands up, offering out her hand so accept as she pulls me off the stool. "Now come on, we need to find our son."
