I'm Coming Home

Chapter Twenty Five

*Regina's POV*
I woke up with a slight pain in my stomach. I sat up carefully, not to wake up Emma. I rubbed my stomach lightly and the pain only got worse. I closed my eyes in pain. "Regina? What's wrong?" Emma asked as she woke up. "I have a really sharp pain in my stomach. I don't know what it is." I said. "Okay. Hold on, I'll get Whale." Emma said and climbed off of the bed. I leaned back and sighed. After a few minutes, Emma and Whale returned. "Emma says you're having sharp pains in your stomach?" Whale said and walked over. I nodded. "Where does it hurt?" He asked. I pointed to the lower right side of my stomach. He raised an eyebrow and walked over. "Here?" He asked and put his hand over where I pointed. I nodded. He gently pushed in on the spot and I yelped in pain. Emma rubbed my shoulder lightly. "Okay. You're going to need an ultrasound. I'll be back." He said. I nodded and he walked out. "Emma. I'm scared." I said. "Don't worry. I'm sure it's nothing." Emma said. I nodded again. The pain intensified and I screamed. Whale ran in and a nurse followed with a machine. "What happened?" He asked. "Extreme pain!" I screamed. He pushed my hospital robe up and put the blanket over my bare legs. He rubbed blue jelly on my stomach, then grabbed a wand thing. He began moving it around my stomach. "Oh shit." He said. It instantly freaked me out. "What?" Emma asked. "Get an OR ready. Go!" He shouted to the nurse. She ran out and nodded. I began having a panic attack. "Alright Regina. You have to have an emergency appendectomy. Your appendix just burst. You have to have this surgery now." Whale said. I looked at Emma with a terrified expression. "I'll be back in 5 minutes." Whale said and walked out. I grabbed Emma's hand and tears began falling from my eyes. "Emma I've never had a surgery before. I'm scared." I said frantically. Emma kissed my forehead. "Don't worry. You'll be totally okay." She said. I nodded but still felt terrified. Emma quickly captured my lips in hers and kissed me passionately. I kissed back and calmed down almost immediately. Whale walked back in, so Emma pulled away. She gave me one last peck on the lips. "I love you." I said. She smiled. "I love you." She said. "Okay Regina. I'm going to give you a shot, then, count down from one hundred. Okay?" Whale said. I nodded.
*Emma's POV*
Whale gave Regina a shot and she winced in pain. "One hundred..ninety nine.." Regina started. "N-ninety eight. N-n.." Regina said and her eyes closed. I squeezed her hand and Whale smiled at me. "A nurse will be here in a minute to explain what's going to happen." Whale said and walked out, taking Regina with him. I sat on the couch and waited. I checked my phone and saw it was 3 am. "Mrs. Mills?" A nurse asked. I looked up at her and she smiled. "So, your wife is asleep and the surgery will begin soon. All that's going to happen is very simple. There will be a 2 to 3 inch cut made on the lower right side of her abdomen. After the incision is made, they'll go in, remove the appendix and take care of any part of the infection. It should only take around an hour. So, she'll be back soon." The nurse said. I nodded and leaned back against the couch. I sighed, hoping my wife would be okay. I knew she would be though because she's a fighter. Another nurse walked in, holding Briar. "Mrs. Mills, would you like to hold your baby?" She asked and walked over. I nodded and took Briar into my arms. She was peacefully sleeping. I smiled. "I figured you might want to hold her while your wife is in surgery." She said kindly. I nodded. "You know, it's funny. She woke up as soon as they took Regina into the OR." She said. I smiled. "She knows when Mommy's not okay." I said quietly. The nurse chuckled. Briar opened her eyes and looked up at me. I smiled. "Hi my little princess. I'm your Momma." I said happily. She fell asleep as I rocked her in my arms. She was snuggled into the pink blanket and I smiled. Briar Maria Mills. 5 pounds, 3 ounces. Born at 6:58 pm on June 15th. This little girl is proof. Proof that I made it to where I wanted to be in my life. Here I am, almost 2 years, married to the woman of my dreams. We have two children. I have my real family. I've made it. I smiled and kissed my daughter's head lightly. I stood up and walked over to the window. Around 4:15, Whale came back in with Gina. "Look Bri, Mommy's back." I said with a smile. "She's still under from the anesthesia. She should wake up soon." Dr. Whale said. I nodded. "Okay. Call me if you need anything." Dr. Whale said and walked out. I continued rocking Briar in my arms, so she'd stay asleep. Regina began to wake up around 4:30. I smiled. "How you feeling?" I asked. "Just grand, Ms. Swan." Regina spit, confusing me. Then, Briar woke up and started crying. "Get that damn thing out of here!" Regina yelled. I jumped and walked out of the room. "I think it might be time for her to go back to the nursery." I said in a shaky voice, to the nurse who brought her to me. She nodded and took her in her arms carefully. I walked back to Regina's room and she groaned. "What do you want Ms. Swan? I'm in a great deal of pain. So, I'm not in the mood for the bullshit right now." She spit. I raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by the statement. "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm Regina Mills. Mayor of this town. Idiot." She said, mumbling the last part. I creased my eyebrows and looked at her. "Who am I?" I asked. "Emma Swan. Sheriff. Birth mother to my son. Royal pain in my ass." She spit. I'd never heard her say anything like this before. "Is that all you know me as?" I asked. "Yes Ms. Swan. Now, if you'd please leave, I'd like to sleep." She spit angrily. "What happened today?" I asked. "I had surgery on my appendix. Isn't that quite obvious?" She said, annoyed. "But... Nothing big happened today?" I asked. "No." She spit. I turned and left the room, looking for Whale. "Where's Dr. Whale?" I asked one of the nurses. "Right here. What do you need?" He asked. I turned around to face the man. "She doesn't know me as her wife. She's calling me Ms. Swan. She's very angry towards me. She thinks she's the mayor. She doesn't remember having a baby." I said. He looked at me and nodded. "That will wear off. It's a reaction to the anesthesia." He said. "But, how long will it take?" I asked. He sighed. "Could be minutes. Could be.. Years." He said. My eyes went wide. "What?!" I screamed. He nodded. "For now, it's probably best that you keep Henry away." He said. I nodded and walked away. I rubbed my temple and walked out of the hospital. "Emma! Wait!" Whale shouted. I turned around and he ran up to me. "I'll call you if anything... Happens." He said. I nodded and walked to my car. I got in and sighed. I drove home, but before I got out, I got a phone call. I answered hesitantly. It's 5:45 am. Who is calling me. "Hello?" I asked. "Hello. Is this Emma Swan?" A male voice asked. "Yes... Who's this?" I asked. "My name's Andrew Walsh. I work with the Department of Social Services in Boston." He said. "Uh.. Okay.." I said. "Ms. Swan, do you know an Anna Wilbur?" He asked. I thought back to my Boston days. "Yes. I used to work with her." I said. "Ms. Swan, she had a baby, 6 years ago. Do you remember that?" He asked. "Actually, my name is Mrs. Mills. I'm married now. Anyways, yes. I do remember that." I said. "Well, Mrs. Mills. Ms. Wilbur passed away and you are the godmother." He said. My heart stopped. "W-w-what about the father?" I stuttered. "He's in jail. Will be for the rest of his life. But, Ms. Sarah Elizabeth Wilbur is technically your daughter now." He said. I didn't know what to do or say. "I... Uh... What do I need to do?" I asked. "She'll need to be picked up as soon as possible. How soon can you get here?" He asked. "Well, my wife just had a baby. Just got out of a surgery... It might be tomorrow." I said. "Well, Mrs. Mills, she needs to be picked up soon." He said. "Okay. I'm on my way." I said. He hung up and I tossed my phone into the passenger seat and I didn't know what to do or say. I flipped my hands and a car seat appeared in the back seat. Three kids. Three. How the hell am I supposed to handle three kids? Regina doesn't even know I'm her wife, let alone that we have a baby together. I picked up my phone and dialed Henry's number. "Hey Ma!" He said excitedly. I had texted Zelena about Regina when she was taken into surgery. Guess she told him. It's 6 am. "You feeling up to a trip to Boston?" I asked. "Yeah!" He shouted. I smiled. "I'm on my way. Make sure Zelena knows." I said. He hung up and I smiled as I started the car, then backed out of the driveway. I got to Zelena's house about 15 minutes later. 6:15 am. I haven't gotten much sleep. Ugh. Henry ran out excitedly, Zelena following in a silk robe. I raised an eyebrow. Henry got in the passenger seat and Zelena walked to my window. I rolled it down and looked at her. "Belle's here..." She said and blushed. I chuckled. "Why are you going to Boston?" She asked. "I have to check into some stuff." I said. She nodded. "So, Regina doesn't remember you?" She asked. "She does. But she remembers me as a 'royal pain in her ass.'" I said. She raised her eyebrows. "Wow." She said. I nodded. "If anything changes while we're gone, call me." I said. She nodded. I rolled up my window and backed out of her driveway. "Ma?" Henry asked. "Yeah?" I asked as I drove towards the town line. "What are we actually doing in Boston?" He asked. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. "Uh.. Don't freak out." I said. "Okay." he said. "You have another sister." I said. "What?" He asked. "Yeah. Sarah Elizabeth Wilbur. My goddaughter. Her mom died. She's six. I forgot I was the godmother. I worked with her mom. She was a bail bonds person too. And now, she's my kid." I said in a panic. "Momma. It's okay." He said. It caught me off guard a little. "Did you just call me momma?" I asked. "Yeah." He said. I smiled. "Well, I'm just worried about what your mom will think." I said. "She doesn't know." He stated. "Nope. I didn't tell her because I felt like that was the best thing for right now." I said. He nodded as I drove over the town line. "How long will it take to get to Boston?" Henry asked. "About 4 hours. So, we'll get there around 10." I said. "Okay." He said. The trip was mostly silent. We listened to the radio. When the Glee version of I'll Stand By You started playing, I started singing along. "You should sing this to mom." Henry said. I smiled. "Maybe one day." I said. He laughed. "We're here." I said as I pulled up to the DSS building. 10:20. Pretty close. I parked then, turned the car off and Henry and I got out. We walked in and the receptionist smiled. "Hi.. Uh.. I'm Emma Mills.. Uh.. Andrew Walsh called me.." I said. She smiled. "He'll be right with you." She said. I nodded and Henry and I sat down. "Ma.. 3 kids... And a dog.." Henry said. I looked at him. "We might not be able to keep Gracie." I said. He nodded. "Zelena wants a dog.. If we can't keep her.. We should see if Zelena can." Henry said. I smiled and nodded. "Mrs. Mills?" A voice called out. I looked up and smiled. I stood up and shook the man's hand. "I'm Andrew Walsh." He said. I smiled. "Emma Mills. Uh, this is my son, Henry." I said. Henry smiled sheepishly at the man and clung to me. I smiled. Henry's 11, but still acts like a little kid. And he's small for his age. "He's really shy." I said. The man nodded and looked at Henry. He smiled, then lead us to his office. "Mommy Emma!" The little blonde said. And the first four years of her life came flooding back to my memory. "Sarah!" I said as she jumped into my arms. "I missed you mommy Emma!" She shouted. "I missed you too." I said. "Do you miss my mommy?" Sarah asked. "I do kiddo." I said. "Mommy Emma dated my mommy." Sarah said to Andrew. Henry looked up at me and I looked at him. He looked... Jealous? "But then mommy made Emma leave." She said. I looked at Andrew and he smiled. "Anyways. What do I need to do?" I asked. "Sign here." He said and pointed at a line. I signed. "Then, sign here." He said and pointed to another line. I signed. "Now, when you get back to wherever you live, your wife will have to adopt her. But, other than that you're done." He said. I nodded. "So, Sarah Elizabeth Mills, have a happy life kid. You deserve it." Andrew said to the little girl in my arms. I had my arms around her protectively. "Okay. Well, bye." I said. He nodded. "Do you have any stuff we need to pick up?" I asked. "No. Our house burned down. That's how mommy died. The only thing I have left is Cuppy." She said. I raised an eyebrow. "Cuppy?" I asked. She nodded. "Cuppy." She said and held up a teddy bear. I smiled. She was resting on my hip. She was very small for her age. We walked towards my car. "Mommy Emma? Do you still have magic?" She asked. I chuckled. "Yep." I said. I looked at Henry and he raised an eyebrow. "Remind me." I said. He nodded. We got to the car and Henry opened the door for me. I put Sarah in the car seat, then walked around to the driver's side. I got in and started the car. I let out a sigh and backed out of the parking spot. I started driving and after a little while, Sarah had fallen asleep. It's 11:30. We left at 11, so we'll get home around 3. My phone started ringing and I pulled it out of my pocket. I kept one hand on the wheel and answered. "Hello?" I said. "She remembers. She's back." Dr. Whale said. "She's back?! Oh good. C-can I talk to her?" I asked. "Yes of course. Hold on one second." He said. I continued driving, but now I wanted to be back. And soon. "Emma?!" She said. "Gina!" I shouted. "I'm so sorry for what I said to you. I feel awful. And, what I said about Briar, I'm so sorry. I'm an awful person." She said. "Regina, you are not. You couldn't help it. It wasn't your fault. Don't worry about it." I said. "I know. But I still feel bad." She said. "Don't. It's okay." I said. "Okay... Well, where are you?" She asked. "I'm on my way... From.. Boston..." I said. "Boston?!" She shouted. "Yes... I'll be at the hospital around 3... 3:30 at most." I said. "Why were you in Boston?" She asked. "We have to talk about it when I get there.." I said. "Emma, you're scaring me." She said. "It's no big deal." I said. "Then why can't we talk about it on the phone?" She asked. "Because I don't know how you're going to react." I said. She released a sigh. "But, Emma. It's only 12. That's three and a half more hours until you get back." She said. "I know dear. But, I promise. If you take a nap or something, it'll be sooner than you think." I said. "Ugh. Em." She said. I smiled. "I love you." I said. "I love you too." She said. "I have to go. I'll see you soon." I said. "Okay." She said. I smiled and hung up. "That was mom?" Henry asked. "Yeah. She's pretty curious about why we went to Boston." I said. He laughed. "She's always curious when she's not included." He said. I smiled. "Shit!" I screamed. Sarah stayed asleep. "What?" Henry asked. "Oh.. Nevermind.." He said as we stopped from being in traffic. "No! I want to see my wife!" I said, exasperatedly. "It's okay mom. We'll be home soon. I'm sure." Henry said. I sighed and nodded.
*Regina's POV*
I woke up and it was 4:15. I raised an eyebrow and picked up my phone. I called Emma. "Hello?" She said. "Hey Em.. I was just wondering where you were? You were supposed to be back by 3:30 at the latest." I said. "I know. I'm sorry. We've been stuck in traffic for four hours. But, we just got moving again. So, we have a 3 hour drive ahead of us. So, we'll be back around 7." She said. "Okay. When you get here, can you bring me a hoodie from the house?" I asked, planning something. "Sure. I'll drop Hen off at Zelena's, then I'll bring you a hoodie and stay with you." She said. "Okay dear." I said. "I love you." She said. I smiled. "I love you too." I said and she hung up. Before I fell asleep, Dr. Whale told me I could go home today. I can't take Briar home for another two weeks because she was premature. But, we'll get to come see her whenever we want. Dr. Whale walked in and smiled at me. "Ready to go home?" He asked. "Yep." I said with a smile. He smiled back. "Okay. I have some more good news." He said. I nodded and raised an eyebrow. He held up a potion and I looked at him funnily. "I can pour this on your incision, and it will heal immediately. It will leave a scar, but that's a small price to pay." He said. I nodded. "So, are you interested?" He asked. "Yes." I said. He smiled. He walked over and moved the hospital gown, so he could look at my abdomen. He poured the potion over the 3 inch incision on the lower right side of my abdomen and it began glowing. When the glowing disappeared, there was just a scar. I smiled. "Thanks Whale." I said. He nodded. "Alright. You're ready to go home." He said. I smiled and flipped my hands, changing me from my hospital gown to yoga pants and a hoodie. I smiled at the comfortable clothes. I'm surprised. Even though Briar was only 5 pounds, I lost 20 when she was born. So, 15 more and I'll be back to normal. Thank you magic. All I have to do is drink a potion, and all be back to my old self. I stood up and walked out. I smiled, then flashed myself home. I appeared at the front door. I unlocked the door, then walked in. I smiled as I closed the door. It's 4:45. I'm planning on surprising Emma with a romantic dinner. I walked to the kitchen and began getting things ready. I'm going to make Emma's favorite, fettuccine Alfredo. I got out a pot and filled it with water, then put it on the oven to boil. I got out the box of noodles, then got our another pot. I made the Alfredo sauce and left it on the oven to stay warm. The water for the pasta was boiling, so I poured in the pasta. I checked the time. 6 o'clock. Emma will be back in an hour. I have to get ready. I ran up the stairs and to my room. I found a short, tight, red dress and laid it on the bed. I then stripped off my clothes and got in the shower. The warm water felt amazing on my skin. After washing up, I just stood there. Then, I began thinking of Emma. My beautiful Emma. I smiled and turned the water off. I hopped out and checked the time again. 6:30. Shit. I better hurry. I picked up the sleeveless, red dress and smiled. That reminded me I needed to drink the potion. I flashed the box of potions from my vault, here, and they appeared on the vanity. I smiled and looked through them. I found the one I wanted and picked it up. It was in a small vial. I popped the cork off and quickly drank the potion. My body began glowing. After it stopped, I had my old body back. I smiled, then went to weigh myself. I weighed exactly what I weighed, before the baby. I smiled and pulled on the red dress. It looked perfect. It hugged my body perfectly. Even though it doesn't show cleavage, it shows off my curves perfectly, something that will drive Emma nuts. After I dried my hair and brushed it, I checked my phone. 7 o'clock. I pulled on my black 'fuck me' heels, as Emma likes to call them, and walked downstairs. I made two bowls of the pasta, then made two glasses of wine and set the table. I lit several candles, and dimmed the lights. I smiled at my work and stepped in the kitchen. Emma walked in the door at 7:15. "Okay.. Get Reg- what the hell?" I heard. I sauntered out of the kitchen and to the foyer. Emma's eyes went wide. "Holy shit." She said. I smirked. I sauntered up to her and placed my hands on her hips, then kissed her neck gently. "Holy shit." She said again. I nipped at her neck and she moved her hand to my ass. I pulled away and she smiled lightly. "So, I figured I'd surprise you." I said. She laughed and shook her head. "You're amazing. Are you feeling okay?" she asked. I nodded. "I feel like my old self again." I said. She smiled. "You look like your old self too." She said and backed up. She looked me up and down and I smirked. "Hen's staying with Zelena tonight. So, we have the house to ourselves." Emma said. I smiled. "Good." I said. She smiled. "Come on dear. I made dinner." I said. We walked to the dining room and sat down. "This looks and smells amazing." She said. "Kinda like you." She continued and looked at me. I smirked. I crossed my legs and Emma raised an eyebrow. "I know what those heels mean." She said with a smirk. I raised an eyebrow. "These? Oh, are these the heels you refer to as my 'fuck me' heels?" I said. She smirked. "I hadn't noticed." I said. She nodded and I smiled. "Eat up dear. You must be starving." I said. She began eating her pasta, then smiled. "Mmm." She hummed. I raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I take it you approve?" I asked. She chuckled and nodded. We both ate and then just sat in a comfortable silence, drinking wine. "So, my dear. Are you ready for..." I started, then stood up, moved to where I was sitting on Emma's lap, put my hands on her shoulders then leaned down to her ear. "Dessert?" I whispered seductively into her ear. She released a throaty moan and I laughed. "Tease." She spit. "How am I a tease if I have all intention of giving you what you... We.. Want." I said and stood up. Emma stood up and put her hands on my hips. "I love you." Emma said. "I love you too." I said. Her hands moved from my hips to my ass. I smiled. Emma lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around her waist and my arms around her neck. "Tonight, is all about us." She said. I smiled as she began walking up the stairs. I kissed her lips lightly, then her nose, then her cheek, then her jawline, then her neck. I nibbled lightly on her neck and she stopped walking, so I removed my lips from her neck. "You didn't have to stop." Emma said. "You stopped walking. So, I stopped kissing." I said and smirked to myself. "Alright then." Emma said and started walking up the stairs again. I smiled and moved back to her neck. I sucked on it lightly and she moaned quietly. I smirked and gently nipped on her neck. I was laid down on our bed and Emma smiled at me. "So the dress... Has to go." Emma said. I smiled and stood up. "Unzip me?" I asked, sexily, and turned around. She moved her hands up my back and unzipped my dress, then laughed lightly. "No bra?" She asked. "No underwear either." I said with a smirk. "That's hot." Emma said, then cleared her throat. The dress fell down to the floor and it was around my ankles. I stepped out of it and looked at Emma with a smile. I sat down on the bed and crossed my legs. Emma smiled. "Leaving the heels on?" She asked. I smirked. "That's why they're called my 'fuck me' heels. Every time I wear them, I get laid. Almost every time, I've been wearing them, during it." I said. Emma smiled. She stripped out of her clothes and stalked her way to me. She pushed me down onto the bed and kissed me, hard. Our naked bodies were pressed together. Emma's hand brushed over my boob and it caused me to shiver lightly. She began rubbing it lightly and I moaned into her mouth. Her hand moved down my body and I missed its warmth. Her hand rested on my stomach for a brief minute, then she traced over the scar on my abdomen, still kissing me. Then, she began kissing down my body and I realized how much I'd missed this. *time lapse* After 4 hours, Emma and I were exhausted. I rolled off of Emma and laid beside her. My 'fuck me' heels were somewhere across the room. We both laid there, staring up at the ceiling, sweating, panting. In silence. I pulled the blankets over us and Emma still didn't say anything. It was just after midnight. After another hour, Emma broke the silence. "Regina. That was amazing." She said and turned on her side so she was facing me. I smiled as she put her hand on my stomach. "Maybe we can have another baby." I said. Emma tensed up, but left her hand on my stomach. "In two weeks, we can bring Briar home." I said. She nodded. "Emma, what's wrong?" I asked. "We... We need to talk..." Emma said. I turned so I was facing her and she moved her hand to my hip. "R-Regina... Our family grew today." Emma said. I nodded. "No. I mean.. By two." she said. I raised an eyebrow. Emma explained her situation with Sarah and I nodded. "So.. We have... Three kids now..." I said and looked away from her. "Yes." She said and moved my face so I was looking at her again. "Regina... We can do this." Emma said. I nodded and looked into her eyes. "We have three kids." I said. She smiled and nodded. I kissed her lightly and she chuckled. My phone started ringing. I raised an eyebrow. It's 1:30 in the morning. I picked up my phone and froze. "Who is it?" Emma asked. "It's..."
