What's Gonna Happen

12

"So, what's the latest with Regina"

"She is out of surgery" Laura replied with a smile, showing this had gone well.

"Oh, thank god. Can we see her" Emma quickly said, a wave of relief hitting her.

"Yes but she has just woken up so she will be weak and tired" Laura answered, encouraging the group to follow her. Marco smiled with a sigh, so happy his other mother was ok. Emma took his hand in hers as they walked, knowing he's still worried about all this. "She's just in there"

"Thanks" Rita quickly said, already heading inside the room.

"Can I ask you something quickly" Laura questioned, stopping the blonde from following his son.

"Sure, what is it" Emma asked, confused by the woman's request.

"Aren't you the girl who left the last time" Laura asked with a small smirk, knowing she remembered the woman.

"Yeah but I'm back now" Emma replied awkwardly, having regretted telling this particular doctor the first time.

"And Regina just let you back in, no questions? Classic" Laura said, laughing as she could have guessed this. Emma frowned a little, not liking the reaction. "You know you could leave again and she'd let you back without batting an eye. She acts like she's all tough but in reality, Regina is just a sucker for anyone who gives her attention"

"Enough, don't talk about her like that. Me and her worked very hard to love and trust each other, she didn't just let me back. She is one of the strongest people I know, don't disrespect her" Emma calmly but sternly said, glaring to show she wasn't impressed.

"You really believe that? She's weak, pathetic even, lets anyone in that will love her. Heck, I managed to go back to her over and over again" Laura questioned with a chuckle, remembering her time back with the brunette.

"She use to be like that but, thanks to you and many people who have treated like shit, she can't let anyone in. You're stood there laughing at the fact you took a woman who was hurt by the world and broke her even more... And you called her pathetic" Emma replied, growing more angry at the woman as she spoke.

"No, she-" Laura started, being cut off by the blondes fist colliding with her cheek.

The doctor stumbled away, almost landing on the floor. She knew she should have seen that coming but didn't expect Emma to actually do it.

"Don't you dare talk about her like that. Now, I'm going to go see the woman I love and find out whether she still loves me" Emma simply said, giving a final glare as she headed towards the room.

Regina was led in the bed, weak from the lack of blood. She was hugging Marco while holding Rita's hand, having already greeted her sister. She kissed the blonde boy on the head, prompting him to pull away and look at her.

"I'm so glad you're ok" Marco sighed in relief, looking at the brunette with a smile.

"Me too, sweetie. Where is your mum, please tell me she didn't leave again" Regina asked, noticing it was just the pair.

Marco smiled as he pointed to the other side of the bed, not needing to speak. As Regina turned her gaze, she felt a familiar set of lips crashing into hers. She was taken back by such a kiss, not expecting Emma to even be there. The passion that was laced in was so overpowering, so much stronger than ever before. As they finally began to pull away, their eyes locked onto each other.

"No, I didn't leave" Emma whispered, pushing a few brown locks behind the woman's ear.

"I wasn't expecting that" Regina said with a chuckle, lifting a hand to the blondes cheek.

"I was worried about you, Gina" Emma said with a smile, looking lovingly into the brown eyes.

"Good, that's pay back for leaving" Regina laughed, giving a wink as she moved back to her normal position. As she glanced at each person, she noticed they all seemed tense. "Does everyone know something I don't"

"Ryan shot Ryder in the head" Rita softly replied, taking her sisters hand to help sooth.

"He... What" Regina asked in shock, her eyes beginning to tear up.

"I know, I'm sorry" Rita said in an almost cracked voice, trying not to well up again.

"Fuck" Regina breath out, not sure how to react to this. Rita kissed her sisters hand and held it close to her, knowing they both felt the same. Emma and Marco look at each other, aware they were each thinking the same thing as the other; Regina noticed. "Oh, shit, there's more, isn't there"

"Yeah, there's more" Emma awkwardly replied, trying to figure out how to tell the woman. Regina raised an eyebrow, showing how impatient she was growing.  "Umm, could you two give us a second please"

"Of course, come on, Little Swan" Rita replied, wrapping her arm around Marco's shoulder as they left.

Emma watched them leave, making sure they were gone. She then sat on the bed, reaching out to hold the woman's hand. Regina grew worried, trying to guess what it could be.

"Em, spit it out. It can't be that bad, can it" Regina questioned, looking confused at the blondes dramatics.

"Well... It turns out that I'm 13 weeks pregnant" Emma awkwardly replied, refusing to look into the brunettes eyes.

"Wait, you're what" Regina quickly asked, wanting to sit up but being too in pain to do it. "Who's the dad"

"I don't know, I didn't find out his name" Emma replied, growing more and more awkward.

"Oh god, really, Swan"

"You are one of the only people who can't judge me for that"

"Fuck you, I'm not that bad" Regina sternly said, glaring at the blonde in annoyance.

"You are, we are as bad as each other" Emma quickly said, laughing a little to encourage the other woman to join in.

"You're an asshole" Regina said, trying to hold her giggle in but failing. "So, you're going to have a baby"

"Apparently so... What do you think about that" Emma asked, a small smile growing across her lips.

"Why do you care what I think" Regina questioned with a smirk, using her fingers to play with the blondes.

"Don't ask stupid questions" Emma chuckled, rolling her eyes as she knew the brunette was teasing her.

"I think this is a good thing" Regina finally replied, giving a soft smile to show she was being truthful.

"Really? How the fuck is this good, I'm freaking out" Emma quickly said, rubbing her temple to massage the stress away.

"You are an amazing mother, Emma. You raised Marco, alone, throughout all of this; I'm sure you'll do a good job with this one" Regina softly said, giving a laugh at the woman's reaction.

"Will I be raising this one alone" Emma questioned, tracing patterns across the brunettes hand.

"I don't know yet" Regina replied, knowing she truly didn't know how to answer this.
