Loving you more

6

During the night while Regina was sleeping she felt a strong magic, when she opened her eyes, she couldn't get out of shock, little Emma was asleep on her chest and a very white light shone on her, looking in more detail she could see how the girl was going growing up to about 8 or 9 years old and just then the light went out, Regina had no idea why that was happening now, that it had been different, she would have to talk to Gold about it later, after all the He was responsible for all this.

The next morning

Emma: Ahhhh!!

Regina immediately hugged Emma, who looked at her very surprised.

Emma: Where am I? Regina? You are real?

Regina: What's the last thing you remember about me?

Emma: I thought it was a dream, I was living in your house and we saw a movie with Henry

Regina: I don't know how to explain it, but while you were sleeping the magic made you grow to this point, how old are you supposed to be now?

Emma: 9, I was in a new orphanage and had a fight with one of the girls, after I returned to the normal world, everyone thought she was crazy and no one wanted to hang out with me

Regina: I'm so sorry to hear that, but don't worry, I'll talk to Gold and we'll see how to get you back to your current time, okay? What you should know is that you have already experienced all of this, in a certain way those are really dreams and what happens here is reality, you can think that way the next time magic makes you grow

Emma: Thank you Regina - She leaned over and hugged the brunette

Later, at Gold's store

Gold: I have no idea what you're talking about, Regina.

Regina: I know that you were responsible for all this, then tell me why Emma started to grow

Gold: I swear that wasn't my plan, dear I just wanted you to admit your feelings for Emma or that you miss her and then she would come back I didn't think it would be gradual

Regina: Well, you thought wrong Gold, and what feelings are you talking about, I admit that yesterday I missed the adult Emma, ​​but it was just that

Gold: So you haven't shown her any affection?

Thinking back, Regina remembered telling her that she loved her and kissing her before bed.

Gold: Oh, I see, yes you did

Regina: But it was something irrelevant

Gold: I'm sorry to tell you that whatever you said to Emma, ​​it was important to her.

Regina: I get it, so every time I'm nice to Emma, ​​she'll grow up? What if it gets to a point where I have Emma pregnant with Henry- The former evil queen was panicking

Gold gave one of his classic giggles and said that it couldn't happen because he had made sure of that before making the dust, two Henrys would definitely be super rare.

Gold: Also dear, from what you tell me you have Emma for a few days and then she starts to grow, unless you have her right at the time of delivery, which is highly unlikely, I doubt you'll have to deal with two Henrys

Regina : Well, you leave me calmer, see you soon and send my regards to Belle

Regina came out of talking to Gold much calmer, at least she knew how to get Emma back, although she wanted to give little Emma some happiness before that.

At Regina's house

Regina: Did they behave well?

David: Oh yeah, they were all the time playing video games

Regina, what did you say? But I did tell Henry that he should finish his homework earlier - Regina ran up to Henry's room as fast as she could after saying goodbye to Snow and David and reluctantly thanking them for taking care of the children

Regina: Henry! Turn off that video game

Henry: But mom, Emma had never played, I was teaching her...

Regina: You can teach her later, you know how important studies are, I don't want you to disobey me again

Henry: Well, it's fine - Henry gave up and as soon as Emma and Regina left his room he slammed the door.

Emma was surprised and almost started to cry when she thought that Regina yelled at her because of her, she was the one who wanted those video games

Regina: Go into the room honey, what happened? Why are you sad ? Don't worry about Henry, teenagers tend to react like that but he'll get over it

Emma: I was to blame, you have to scold me - She said through tears

Regina: Listen, Henry is the oldest right now, so he'll be the one in charge for now.

Emma: But I insisted that I wanted the video games, he said that he wanted to make me happy and that's why he didn't do his homework as you ordered

Regina: Oh Emma, ​​I'll apologize to him later, but you don't have to blame yourself, I don't like to see you sad - She unconsciously wipes Emma's tears with her thumb

Emma: I'm afraid of growing up again

Regina: Because of your memories?

Emma nodded slowly.

Emma: I feel that nothing good awaits me, everyone is so kind to me, as if they wanted to compensate me for everything, that is why I am afraid, I am sure that the life that awaits me will be horrible

Regina: I'm not going to lie to you Emma, ​​it will be difficult, but once you told me or well your adult self told me that she would go through all that again if in the end it led her to have Henry and her family

Emma: I hope my adult self is not wrong about that - Regina gave her a nostalgic smile, certainly every day she missed the adult Emma more and more

Regina: Would you like to do something special today? We can go out and buy clothes or eat something, to the games, wherever you want

Emma: I'd rather stay here with you

Regina: Are you okay Emma? You have a fever ? Adult Emma would have taken advantage of this opportunity to go out and eat as much as she wants.

Emma laughed loudly and shook her head.

Emma: I like being with you and since you have magic, I don't need to go to a store to get clothes.

Regina : I see , do not misunderstand me darling , I love that you want to be here with me , it just seems strange to me in a child , most of them fear me or do not want to spend so much time with me - she said thinking of Henry when he was the same age as Emma now

Emma, ​​seeing the internal battle that the brunette was going through, hurried to hug her

Emma: Well, I'm not like most, you've been very good to me despite what my adult self did - Regina frowned - Henry told me everything

Regina: I certainly don't think you should continue blaming yourself for what you adult self did, after all Robin continues to act as if I didn't exist anymore, so I doubt very much that he ever really loved me - She said with a lump in her throat

Emma: I'm so sorry Regina, but you know what? If my adult self comes back and you're still sad you can be my girlfriend

Regina opened her eyes as wide as she could.

Regina: What are you talking about Emma?

Emma: Yes, we could be a good couple, why not? Also I think my parents think the same

Regina: What your parents what?

Emma: They think the adult me ​​likes you.

Regina: Wanting to change the subject - Oh well darling I suppose we'll see that later, but tell me, do you want to help me prepare lunch? Today I will make tacos

Emma: yessss

The day passed quickly and when night came Regina made sure that this time she would only hug Emma, ​​she still did not want to let go of the girl although little by little she began to miss the adult version more and more and that scared her.
